In all correspondence sent to COWEMO, by e-mail or letter, the CLIENT shall undertake to mention his first and surname, e-mail address and login name, in order to make it possible to identify him and to process his requests. Incomplete requests will not be processed by COWEMO.
10.1. Principle and definition
- Neither Party shall be held liable in regard to the other for the non-fulfilment or delays in the fulfilment of an obligation under the terms of the present Contract due to the actions of the other party following the occurrence of a case of force majeure as defined in Article 1148 of the Civil Code.
- The following are specifically considered as cases of force majeure or acts of God, in addition to those normally accepted according to the jurisprudence of French courts and tribunals: the interruption of telecommunications, including telecommunication networks, total or partial strikes, lock-outs, riots, civil unrest, uprisings, civil or foreign wars, nuclear risk, embargoes, confiscation, capture or destruction by any public authority, bad weather, epidemics, the blocking of transport means or supplies for any reason whatsoever, earthquakes, fires, storms, floods, water damage, governmental or legal restrictions, legal or public policy modifications of the forms of marketing, computer failure, any consequences of technological developments that are not foreseeable by COWEMO, and which challenge the norms and standards of its profession and any other circumstances that are unforeseeable, unstoppable and beyond the control of the Parties and which prevent the normal fulfilment of their reciprocal obligations.
10.2. Implementation
In the case of occurrence of such event of force majeure, the obligations of the present Contract shall be suspended. If the force majeure continues for a period exceeding one month, either Party may terminate the present Contract upon reception by the other Party of a registered letter.
11.1. Tolerance
The fact that COWEMO does not at any given moment exercise any one of the stipulations whatsoever of the present general terms and conditions, may not be interpreted as constituting waiver by COWEMO of subsequent exercise of any one of the said terms and conditions.
11.2. Severability
The invalidity of any provision of the contract for the provision of services subscribed with Pixmobi, in particular in application of a law, regulation or subsequent to a final decision of a competent court shall not incur the nullity of the other provisions of the contract for provision of services, which shall retain their full effect and scope.
In said event, the parties shall replace, to the extent possible, the void provision by a valid provision that corresponds to the spirit and intent of the contractual Terms.
11.3. Titles
The titles of articles in the General Terms and Conditions of Service are only intended to facilitate reference and do not have any contract value or significance by themselves.
XII/ GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION
12.1. Applicable law
The present General Terms and Conditions of Service are subject to French law. In the event where the CLIENT resides is abroad and/or is not French, then said latter accepts that the contractual relationship between itself and COWEMO is not governed by the United Nations Convention relative to contracts for the International Sale of Goods (United Nations Convention whose application is expressly excluded.)
12.2. Language
The official language hereof is French. The use of any language is only informative. In case of difficulty relative to the construction hereof, the Parties shall refer exclusively to the French text.
12.3. Court with jurisdiction
Any dispute concerning the validity, construction, performance, or non-performance of the General Terms and Conditions of Service governing the relationships between the Parties shall be submitted to the Court where COWEMO has its registered office.
The present clause applies without prejudice to COWEMO's rights to prosecute anyone who violates its rights in any court with jurisdiction in the absence of the above-mentioned clause, and in particular with the legally competent professional body to which the CLIENT belongs.
