AKRONE processes personal data in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (the “GDPR”), the amended French Data Protection Act of 6 January 1978 and any other provisions applicable to its processing activities.

Information relating to the processing of personal data, including its purposes, legal bases, recipients, retention periods, possible international transfers and the rights of data subjects, is set out in the Website’s Privacy Policy.

The Website may use cookies and other tracking technologies.

Tracking technologies that are strictly necessary for the operation of the Website, or which benefit from an exemption under applicable regulations, may be used without prior consent in accordance with applicable law.

Cookies or tracking technologies requiring consent are only stored or accessed after valid consent has been obtained where such consent is required.

Users may accept, refuse or configure these technologies using the cookie management tool available on the Website and may, where applicable, subsequently withdraw their consent.

Acceptance of this Legal Notice, the Terms of Use or the Terms and Conditions of Sale does not constitute consent to the storage or access of cookies or other tracking technologies for which specific consent is required.

The applicable arrangements may be adapted where the law of the user’s country or territory imposes different or additional requirements.

8. CONTRACTUAL DOCUMENTS AND CONSUMER INFORMATION

Sales made through the Website are governed by the Terms and Conditions of Sale applicable at the time the order is placed.

The terms applicable to AKRONE’s commercial guarantee and after-sales service are set out in the AKRONE Warranty and After-Sales Service Terms.

Use of the Website is governed by the Terms of Use.

The processing of personal data is described in the Privacy Policy.

These documents are available on the Website in their current version.

For international sales, additional information, notices, translations, terms or documents may be made available where required by mandatory provisions applicable in the relevant country or territory.

9. INTERNATIONAL SALES AND USERS

The Website is published and operated from France.

The fact that the Website can be accessed from a particular country or territory does not necessarily mean that all Products, features, payment methods, delivery options or services offered are available in that country or territory.

Where AKRONE markets Products or directs its activities towards consumers located in another country or territory, international sales remain subject to any mandatory provisions applicable to those consumers.

Depending on the market concerned, local requirements may apply in particular to:

  • pre-contractual consumer information;
  • language requirements;
  • contract formation;
  • withdrawal or cancellation rights;
  • legal or commercial guarantees;
  • product compliance;
  • taxes, customs duties and import requirements;
  • data protection and privacy;
  • cookies and similar technologies;
  • accessibility;
  • dispute resolution; and
  • jurisdiction.

Where applicable law requires specific information, documents, notices, procedures or consumer protections for a particular market, those requirements supplement this Legal Notice and the other Website documents to the extent necessary.

Nothing in this Legal Notice shall be interpreted as depriving a consumer or user of any mandatory protection which they cannot lawfully waive under applicable law.

10. GOVERNING LAW

This Legal Notice is governed by French law.

However, this choice of law does not deprive a consumer of any mandatory protections to which they are entitled under the rules applicable to their situation.

In the event of a dispute involving a consumer, the mandatory rules governing jurisdiction remain fully applicable.

Where applicable law permits a consumer to bring proceedings before the courts of their country or territory of residence, nothing in this Legal Notice is intended to remove that possibility.

Nothing in this Legal Notice is intended to impose on a consumer any governing law, jurisdiction, mandatory arbitration requirement or limitation of remedies where such provision would be prohibited or unenforceable under applicable mandatory law.

2. ACCESS TO AND AVAILABILITY OF THE WEBSITE

AKRONE endeavours to ensure the accessibility, security and proper operation of the Website.

Access to the Website may nevertheless be temporarily interrupted, restricted, degraded or suspended, including as a result of:

  • maintenance or update operations;
  • a technical or security incident;
  • a failure affecting a technical service provider, communications network or third-party infrastructure;
  • an operation necessary to protect the Website, its users or their data;
  • a legal, regulatory, administrative or judicial requirement; or
  • any event beyond AKRONE’s reasonable control.

Where circumstances permit, AKRONE endeavours to limit the duration and consequences of such interruptions.

AKRONE does not guarantee that the Website will be continuously or permanently available or entirely free from errors.

Nothing in this provision is intended to exclude or limit any liability imposed on AKRONE by mandatory applicable law.

3. USER ACCOUNTS AND LOGIN CREDENTIALS

Certain features of the Website may require the creation or use of a customer account.

Users are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of their login credentials and must take reasonable precautions to prevent unauthorised use.

Where applicable, users are responsible in particular for choosing a sufficiently secure password and for not disclosing their login credentials to third parties.

In the event of loss, misuse, suspected compromise or unauthorised use of an account or login credentials, users are invited to notify AKRONE as soon as possible at:

ilovewatches@akrone.fr

AKRONE may take any measures reasonably necessary to secure the account concerned, including resetting access credentials, requesting additional verification or temporarily suspending the account.

Any suspension or restriction measure will be implemented in a manner proportionate to the circumstances and, where required by mandatory law, in accordance with any applicable information or appeal requirements.

4. USE OF THE WEBSITE

Users agree to use the Website in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, these Terms of Use and the normal intended purpose of the features made available to them.

In particular, users must not:

  • use the Website for fraudulent, malicious or unlawful purposes;
  • infringe the intellectual property rights of AKRONE or any third party;
  • introduce or attempt to introduce any virus, malware, harmful code or other device capable of affecting the operation or security of the Website;
  • attempt to gain unauthorised access to systems, servers, accounts, databases or protected areas of the Website;
  • circumvent or attempt to circumvent any security, authentication or access-control measure;
  • unlawfully collect, extract, reuse or process personal data accessible through the Website;
  • carry out, including by automated means, requests, extraction operations or other activities whose volume, frequency or nature is likely to disrupt, overload or compromise the operation or security of the Website;
  • use the Website to impersonate any person or organisation;
  • use the Website’s features in a manner likely to unlawfully infringe the rights or legitimate interests of AKRONE, its customers, partners or third parties.

Restrictions relating to automated means do not prevent practices permitted by applicable law or operations expressly authorised by AKRONE.

In the event of a serious breach, manifestly abusive or fraudulent use, a risk to the security of the Website, infringement of a third party’s rights or any other legitimate reason, AKRONE may take reasonably necessary measures, including suspending or restricting the access of the user or account concerned.

Such measures will be proportionate to the nature and seriousness of the circumstances.

They will not have the effect of removing rights attached to contracts already entered into or rights enjoyed by the user under applicable mandatory provisions.

AKRONE may also take any other appropriate measure or action where the circumstances justify it.

5. INFORMATION, CONTENT AND PRODUCT AVAILABILITY

AKRONE endeavours to ensure that the information published on the Website is accurate, clear and kept up to date.

Errors, omissions, display differences or temporary unavailability may nevertheless occur.

Any error or information requiring correction may be reported to:

ilovewatches@akrone.fr

Content, presentations, Product specifications, availability and other information appearing on the Website may be changed for the future.

Such changes do not affect the specifications, prices, delivery times or other contractual terms already accepted in connection with a concluded order.

Information relating to Products, prices, orders, payments, deliveries, pre-orders, withdrawal rights, guarantees, after-sales service and other consumer rights is governed by the Terms and Conditions of Sale and, where applicable, by any specific terms communicated to the customer.

The presentation of a Product or service on the Website does not necessarily mean that it is available for sale or delivery in every country or territory from which the Website may be accessed.

Certain offers, features, payment methods, delivery options or services may be limited to specific markets in accordance with the conditions displayed on the Website.

6. WEBSITE LANGUAGES AND TRANSLATIONS

The Website is originally published in French. Certain content may also be made available in other languages, including English, in order to facilitate access for international users.

The preparation of such translations may be assisted by automated translation or artificial intelligence tools and may be reviewed or adapted by AKRONE.

AKRONE endeavours to ensure the accuracy and quality of such translations. Differences in wording, terminology or interpretation may nevertheless remain.

Unless specific provisions apply to a particular document or market, the French-language version shall be the authoritative reference version in the event of any discrepancy between it and a translation, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

This rule of precedence shall not have the effect of depriving a consumer of any mandatory right, information or protection to which they are entitled under the laws applicable to their situation.

Where the Terms and Conditions of Sale, warranty terms, a policy or any other document contains its own provisions regarding language, translation or authoritative versions, those specific provisions shall apply to the document concerned.

7. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

The “AKRONE” trademark and its distinctive elements, together with the logos, creations, texts, photographs, videos, animations, illustrations, drawings, designs, graphics, visual elements and other protected content appearing on the Website are, unless otherwise stated, the property of AKRONE or are used with the permission of their respective rights holders.

Access to the Website does not grant users any intellectual property rights in respect of such materials.

Any reproduction, representation, distribution, adaptation, modification, extraction, reuse or exploitation, in whole or in part, of such materials without prior authorisation, where such authorisation is required, may constitute an infringement of the rights of their respective owners.

Users may access and use the Website for personal purposes and in accordance with its normal intended use.

Any rights, exceptions and uses expressly permitted by applicable law remain unaffected.

Nothing in these Terms of Use shall be interpreted as restricting any use that AKRONE could not lawfully prohibit.

8. THIRD-PARTY LINKS, PLATFORMS AND SERVICES

The Website may contain links to or provide access to websites, social networks, platforms, applications, payment services or other services operated by third parties.

Such services may be subject to their own terms of use, privacy policies and operating rules.

AKRONE does not exercise general control over content or services provided by independent third parties and does not guarantee their continuous availability.

Unless otherwise stated, the presence of a link, button or technical integration with a third-party service does not imply that AKRONE endorses all of that third party’s content or practices.

Any liability of AKRONE in connection with such services remains subject to applicable law and the nature of the obligations actually undertaken by AKRONE.

9. PERSONAL DATA, COOKIES AND SECURITY

AKRONE processes personal data in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (the “GDPR”), the amended French Data Protection Act of 6 January 1978 and any other provisions applicable to its processing activities.

Information concerning, in particular, the categories of personal data processed, purposes of processing, legal bases relied upon, recipients, retention periods, possible international transfers and the rights of data subjects is set out in the Website’s Privacy Policy.

Depending on the applicable law and the individual’s circumstances, data subjects may in particular have rights of access, rectification, erasure, objection, restriction and portability and, where processing is based on consent, the right to withdraw that consent.

These rights may be exercised in accordance with the procedures set out in the Privacy Policy or by contacting:

ilovewatches@akrone.fr

Data subjects may also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent data protection authority.

For processing falling within the jurisdiction of the French authorities, the supervisory authority is the Commission Nationale de l’Informatique et des Libertés (CNIL).

The Website may use cookies and other tracking technologies.

Tracking technologies that are strictly necessary for the operation of the Website, or which benefit from an exemption under applicable regulations, may be used without prior consent in accordance with applicable law.

Where consent is required, the cookies or other tracking technologies concerned are only stored or accessed after valid consent has been obtained.

Users may accept, refuse or configure these technologies using the cookie management tool provided on the Website and may, where applicable, subsequently withdraw their consent.

Acceptance of these Terms of Use does not constitute consent to the storage or access of cookies or tracking technologies for which specific consent is required.

Cookie and tracking technology management arrangements may be adapted to the requirements applicable in the user’s country or territory.

AKRONE implements appropriate technical and organisational measures designed to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risks associated with the processing of personal data and the operation of the Website.

As no IT system or communications network can be considered entirely free from risk, users are also encouraged to apply standard security precautions to their own devices, software, passwords and connections.

Nothing in this provision reduces AKRONE’s legal obligations relating to security and the protection of personal data.

10. LIABILITY

AKRONE is responsible for its obligations in accordance with applicable law.

Nothing in these Terms of Use is intended to exclude or limit liability where such exclusion or limitation is prohibited under applicable law.

In particular, these Terms of Use do not remove or reduce any rights, guarantees, remedies or rights to compensation available to a consumer under mandatory provisions of law.

Users remain responsible for their use of the Website and its features and, to the extent within their control, for the security and compatibility of their own equipment, software, access and connections.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, AKRONE shall not be liable for damage resulting exclusively from:

  • fraudulent, unlawful or manifestly non-compliant use of the Website attributable to the user;
  • an act or fault attributable exclusively to the user; or
  • an event external to AKRONE whose consequences could not reasonably have been avoided despite appropriate measures.

The presence of services or content provided by third parties does not release AKRONE from any liability that may personally apply to it under applicable law.

Nothing in this section limits AKRONE’s liability in the event of fraud, intentional misconduct, personal injury or in any other situation in which a limitation or exclusion of liability would be prohibited under applicable law.

11. CHANGES TO THE TERMS OF USE

AKRONE may amend these Terms of Use in particular to reflect:

  • changes to the Website or its features;
  • technical or organisational changes;
  • new security measures;
  • changes to its services; or
  • changes in applicable laws or regulations.

The version in force is the version published on the Website on the date of use.

Any amendments apply prospectively.

They may not have the effect of retroactively modifying the terms of an existing contract, removing a right already acquired in connection with an existing order or unilaterally modifying a contractual obligation where applicable law does not permit this.

Where a change materially affects a feature associated with an account or, under applicable law, requires prior notice or renewed acceptance by the user, AKRONE will follow the required procedure.

12. INTERNATIONAL USERS

The Website is published and operated by a company established in France and may be accessed from different countries and territories.

Technical access to the Website from a particular country or territory does not necessarily mean that AKRONE actively offers all of its Products, services or features in that country or territory.

Where AKRONE markets its Products or directs its activities towards consumers located in another country or territory, any mandatory provisions applicable to those consumers remain fully applicable.

Depending on the market concerned, specific rules may apply in particular to:

  • consumer information;
  • language requirements;
  • contract formation;
  • withdrawal or cancellation rights;
  • guarantees;
  • data protection and privacy;
  • cookies and similar technologies;
  • accessibility;
  • taxes, customs duties or import requirements;
  • dispute resolution; or
  • jurisdiction.

Additional information, terms or policies may therefore be made available for certain countries or territories where necessary.

Nothing in these Terms of Use shall be interpreted as depriving a user or consumer of any mandatory protection which they cannot lawfully waive under applicable law.

13. GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION

These Terms of Use are governed by French law.

However, this choice of law does not deprive a consumer of the protection afforded by mandatory provisions of the law that would otherwise apply in the absence of this choice, including, where applicable under relevant private international law rules, the law of the country or territory in which the consumer has their habitual residence.

In the event of a dispute involving a consumer, mandatory rules governing jurisdiction remain fully applicable.

Where French rules on consumer jurisdiction apply, the consumer may in particular bring proceedings before the courts having territorial jurisdiction under applicable law.

Where applicable rules allow the consumer to bring proceedings before the courts of their own country or territory of residence, nothing in these Terms of Use is intended to remove that possibility.

Nothing in these Terms of Use shall impose on a consumer any governing law, jurisdiction, mandatory arbitration requirement or limitation of remedies where such provision would be prohibited or unenforceable under applicable mandatory law.

14. SEVERABILITY

If any provision of these Terms of Use is declared void, invalid, unlawful or unenforceable by a competent court or authority, this shall not, to the extent permitted by applicable law, affect the validity of the remaining provisions.

The provision concerned shall cease to have effect only to the extent necessary, without depriving the user or consumer of any mandatory right.

15. CONTACT AND REPORTING

For any question concerning the operation of the Website, any request for assistance or any report of a malfunction, users may contact AKRONE at:

ilovewatches@akrone.fr

Requests concerning an order, guarantee or after-sales service may also be submitted in accordance with the procedures set out in the applicable Terms and Conditions of Sale or AKRONE Warranty and After-Sales Service Terms.
