3. Hypertext links

3.1. Hypertext links to Mavic sites

The provision of a hypertext link to the Mavic sites requires prior written authorisation from
Mavic. A user wishing to provide a hypertext link to the Mavic sites must contact the manager
of the Mavic sites.
The provision of a hypertext link in no way authorises the reproduction of any element of the
Mavic sites or the presentation on third-party sites of such elements whether in the form of
frames or by any similar means.
Mavic will not be held responsible in any circumstances for content, products or services
offered by third-party sites which contain a hypertext link to the Mavic sites.

Since Mavic cannot control such external sites or resources, it shall be under no liability in
relation to content, advertising material, products, services or any other material which is
available on or through such external sites or resources. Further, the user acknowledges that
Mavic may not be held responsible for any damage or loss, whether established or alleged,
resulting from or relating to either use of or reliance on the content, goods or services
available on such external sites or resources.

4. Data protection

4.1. Personal data

In certain circumstances Mavic may obtain information enabling a user to be personally
identified, particularly in the case of a sale, registration for a service, promotional activity or
other activity involving interaction between the user and Mavic.
In such cases the information collected about the user is needed to respond to any request
for information and to advise the user as to the status of his orders.

Mavic is concerned to protect the rights of users and their personal data, and undertakes to
inform users and seek their consent.

4.2. Non-personal data

Mavic may collect and use information obtained automatically, but in no case will such
information be capable of being linked to a particular person. This information concerns the
type of Web browser the user uses, the operating system of his computer and the name of
the domain from which he has accessed the Mavic.com site.
When the user leaves the Mavic sites, data relating to his IP address, sites visited, language
selected, date, time and duration of visit will be used for statistical purposes only, to optimise
the Mavic sites in the light of user expectations.
External organisations are involved in the design and development of the Mavic sites. Such
organisations may be given access to Mavic's data, with the sole purpose of carrying out
such work.

4.3. Use of personal data

Access to some of the services offered on the Mavic sites requires the collection of certain
personal data.
For what purposes does Mavic use this data?
- Supplying products and/or services
- Developing and improving our products and services
- Communicating with you in relation to our products and services, or in order to
conduct satisfaction studies, focus groups or other commercial or marketing activity.

Mavic agrees not to sell, transfer, rent or divulge users' personal data, subject to the
following exceptions:
- Companies affiliated with Mavic, and other authorised third parties such as approved
retailers or service providers who are given authority to process such data, for the
purposes set out above only. It is agreed and understood that in the event of such
data being communicated to third parties, those third parties will undertake to observe
the rules indicated by Mavic and to put in place the necessary measures for
protecting the data.
- International transfer of data: Mavic wishes to advise users that the servers hosting
the Mavic sites may be located in different parts of the world, and that users' personal
data may thus be transferred out of the country in which the Mavic site or sites were
used, and outside the European Economic Area. These countries do not always have
laws protecting personal data, or may have different rules, as in the United States for
example. Where relevant, Mavic agrees to take the necessary steps to ensure that
such transfers are lawful, and that adequate measures are taken for the protection of
transferred personal data, in accordance with local law.
- Release of information where required by law: Mavic may have cause to release
users' personal information to government or court authorities in countries where
Mavic and its authorised agents operate.
- Mergers and acquisitions: In the event that Mavic buys, transfers, or generally
reorganises its business activities in certain countries, this may involve the release of
personal data to potential purchasers and their advisers.

In accordance with the French data protection law of 6 January 1978, the user has the right
of access to and rectification of information concerning him. Such information is used
exclusively within the Mavic company. If the user wishes to exercise this right and to be
advised of the information held about him, he should send an email to contact@mavic.com,
or a letter to the following address: Mavic S.A.S, Les Croiselets Metz-Tessy - 74996
ANNECY CEDEX 9.
Mavic strongly encourages the user to check his data regularly and update it with any
changes.

4.4. Cookies

When an internet user visits the Mavic sites, Mavic may save a cookie on his computer. A
cookie is a small block of data sent to the client browser by a web server and stored on the
hard disc of the user's computer. It enables Mavic to store information on the user's browsing
history in relation to the Mavic sites (pages viewed, date and time of viewing, etc) which can
be read on the user's subsequent visits.
The user may block all cookies if he prefers not to accept them. He may also configure his
computer to warn him each time a cookie is used. In either case, the user must adjust the
settings in his browser (e.g. Internet Explorer). Software is also available which can manage
cookies. Nonetheless it should be underlined that, where the client computer has been
configured to reject cookies, this may limit the functionality of the sites visited and access to
some elements of the site may not be possible. For further information about cookies and
how to block them, see for example www.allaboutcookies.org.
The user can also delete cookies individually at any time by referring to the computer manual.

4.5. Management of passwords and access codes

During the registration procedure, the user enters a username and password. The user is
solely responsible for keeping the account and password confidential, and for all actions
carried out within the account and/or with the password. The user undertakes to inform Mavic
immediately of any unauthorised use of the account and/or password and to ensure that he
logs off at the end of each session. Mavic cannot be held responsible for any loss or damage
which arises in the event of breach of these obligations.

4.6. Unsubscribing from the Mavic sites

The user may unsubscribe at any time. In order to do so, the user must click the unsubscribe
link appearing at the end of each Mavic newsletter, or send an unsubscribe request to
contact@mavic.com, stating his full name and email address.

5. Charter on the privacy of minors

Mavic agrees not to collect information about or enter into transactions with minors less than
13 years of age. Nonetheless, as it is impossible to determine the user's age accurately, it
may happen that Mavic collects information relating to users of less than 13 years of age.
Mavic strongly encourages parents and guardians to stay with their children while they use
the internet, in order to take part in the activities offered by the sites. Mavic must ask that no
minor (the age of majority being determined according to the user's country of residence)
enters into a transaction or any other legal relationship except with the consent of the parents
or guardians, save where this is permitted under local law.
Mavic agrees not to pass on any information about minors without the consent of their
parents or guardians.
Such information may not be used for marketing or promotional purposes unless this has
been explicitly stated during registration for a game or promotional offer.

6. Warning notice

Having regard to the nature of the internet, the user must bear in mind that generally, and
despite the steps taken by Mavic, each time personal information is supplied online there is a
risk of it being collected illegally.
Accordingly, the user acknowledges that Mavic cannot be held responsible for the possible
consequences in any circumstances.
Nevertheless, the pages of the Mavic sites on which payment details can be entered have
enhanced security.
Mavic uses SSL encryption, and has also reinforced its rearrangement and encryption
procedures to protect all sensitive data relating to means of payment as effectively as
possible.

7. Applicable law

These General Conditions have been drafted and shall be construed in accordance with
French law as in force. In the event that one or more provisions of these General Conditions
is declared void or ineffective, the other clauses will remain in force to the fullest extent.
In the event of a challenge, claim or dispute relating to these General Conditions, the parties
will attempt to come to an agreed settlement. If the parties are not able to agree a settlement,
the dispute will fall within the sole jurisdiction of the Annecy courts and the law applicable to
these General Conditions will be French law.

8. Updating the General Conditions

Mavic reserves the right to amend or update the conditions of access to the sites as well as
the General Conditions. Such amendments and updates apply to the user who, consequently,
should refer to this section regularly in order to obtain the current General Conditions.
