The Terms of Use, established in French, are subject to French law. This applies to substantive rules as much as to rules of form. The Terms of Use may be translated in any language. The French version shall prevail in case of conflict in interpretation.

Any claim, amicable or legal, regarding the execution or interpretation of the Terms of Use, use of the Site or acquisition, downloading or using a Clinical Case must be made within a period of one (1) year from the event or the deactivation of the Personal Account, or the right to claim will be forfeited, and will be considered under French law and the exclusive jurisdiction of the Tribunal de Commerce de Nanterre.

Article 15. Other stipulations

In case of difficulty in interpretation between any of the titles at the head of clauses, and any of the clauses, the titles will be declared nonexistent.

The Terms of Use constitute the entire rights and obligations of the User and INTERACTION.

The cancellation of one clause does not invalidate the Terms of Use, except that of an impulsive and decisive clause that led one Party to contract. The canceled stipulation(s) is deemed unwritten.

The fact that either of the Parties does not avail themselves at a certain point of any one of the clauses or tolerates failure to perform on a temporary or permanent basis by the other Party may not be interpreted as a waiver of the right to take action later.

The failure of either Party to tolerate failure or imperfect execution of these Terms of Use or, more generally, to tolerate any act, omission or forbearance of the other Party to comply with the provisions of these Terms of Use shall not confer any right to the Party benefiting from this tolerance.
