Contacts

All communications relating to the use of this Website must be sent to the addresses indicated in this document.

 

Safeguard clause

Should any of the provisions of these Terms be or become void or ineffective under applicable law, the nullity or ineffectiveness of such provision does not cause ineffectiveness of the remaining provisions, which therefore remain valid and effective.

 

European users

Should a provision of these Terms be or become void, invalid or ineffective, the parties will endeavor to amicably identify a valid and effective provision to replace the void, invalid or ineffective one. In case of failure to agree within the aforementioned terms, if permitted or required by applicable law, the void, invalid or ineffective provision will be replaced by the applicable legal framework. Without prejudice to the foregoing, the nullity, invalidity or ineffectiveness of a specific provision of these Terms does not imply nullity of the entire Agreement, unless the void, invalid or ineffective provisions within the framework of the Agreement are essential or of such importance, that the parties would not have concluded the contract if they had known that the provision would be invalid, or in cases where the remaining provisions would entail an excessive and unacceptable burden on one of the parties.

 

Applicable law

The Terms are governed by the law of the place where the Owner is established, as indicated in the relevant section of this document regardless of conflict of law rules.
