  1. DATA PROTECTION AND SECURITY

9.1 The Customer can place an order on the Site without creating a Customer account.

9.2 When connecting to the Site or communicating electronically with ECOCAFE SA, the Customer's data passes through a public network accessible to all. It is also possible that the data crosses borders, even if the sender and the recipient reside in the same country. It is therefore not excluded that third parties have access to such information and that they deduce the existence of a contractual relationship with ECOCAFE SA.

9.3 ECOCAFE SA may collect, in particular by means of "cookies", data related to the frequentation of the Site, including in particular the IP address of the Customer or of any other visitor, which are used for statistical, security, system monitoring, management, analysis, marketing and legal and regulatory obligations. This data is anonymous.

9.5 ECOCAFE SA also reserves the right to record the name, first name, e-mail address and the content of the correspondence of any person who sends an e-mail to an ECOCAFE SA employee or to the person in charge of the Site in order to be able to answer him or her or to inform him or her about the follow-up of his or her order.

9.6 The information required by ECOCAFE SA during online registration is limited to the information necessary for ECOCAFE SA to provide the best possible service and follow-up. Required information is clearly indicated by an asterisk (*) at the beginning of the field title.

9.7 ECOCAFE SA is not responsible for any inaccuracies in the personal data if such inaccuracies are the result of an erroneous indication by the Customer. In case of inaccuracy due to other causes, ECOCAFE SA's liability is limited exclusively to granting Customer the right to access and correct personal data in accordance with Article 10 below.

9.8 Although ECOCAFE SA makes every effort to protect personal data, it is not responsible for the security of personal data transmitted to it on the Site insofar as it is not possible to completely guarantee the security of transmissions on the Internet. They are communicated at the Customer's own risk. On the other hand, ECOCAFE SA makes every effort to ensure their confidentiality as soon as they have been entered into its system and to avoid that these personal data are transmitted to third parties other than those possibly involved in the processing of the Customer's order.

  1. RIGHT OF ACCESS AND CORRECTION OF DATA

10.1 Subject to any legal obligations to store the data obtained, any interested party may request, in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Law of June 19, 1992 on Data Protection, to be informed by e-mail of the data concerning him/her by sending a written and signed request to ECOCAFE SA. If such data is no longer up to date or if it is incorrect or incomplete, the person concerned may request ECOCAFE SA to amend the data accordingly. The data subject may also request ECOCAFE SA to delete the data at any time.

  1. PARTIAL NULLITY

12.1 If any provision of the General Terms and Conditions is invalid, non-compliant or unenorceable, this shall not invalidate, void or render unenforceable the remaining provisions of the General Terms and Conditions. The invalid, non-compliant or unenforceable provision shall be replaced by another valid, compliant and enforceable provision that corresponds as closely as possible to the meaning and purpose of the invalidated provision.
