Subject
Understanding the scope of this website
These terms govern access to Patrice Lebon’s website and the use of its content. By consulting the website, visitors accept the version applicable on the date of their visit.
No electronic commerce
Why this website has no general terms of sale
The site remains solely personal and institutional. It has no basket, payment facility, ordering procedure or means of accepting a quotation. Merely consulting it cannot therefore conclude a contract for goods or services.
Publishing generic terms of sale would be misleading and legally inappropriate. Any prospective commercial relationship, whether with a business or a private individual, will be governed by a separate proposal, quotation or contract specifying the contracting party, the scope of the engagement, fees, deadlines, payment arrangements, warranties and any applicable consumer protections. The specific terms communicated before a commitment is made shall prevail.
Content and publications
Read and cite with due acknowledgement
Private consultation and brief quotation are permitted provided that the author and source are clearly acknowledged. Reproduction in full, making a document available on another platform, commercial exploitation, adaptation or the creation of a derivative collection requires prior permission, subject to statutory exceptions.
Downloadable documents may carry their own notices, credits or terms. Those provisions take precedence for the document concerned.
Accuracy and date of information
Information in its proper temporal context
Projects, data, appointments, partnerships and regulatory frameworks may change. A publication date is no assurance of continuing currency. Visitors should consult a competent source before relying on information for a legal, financial, scientific, operational or investment decision.
The opinions and institutional proposals published here express an intellectual position; they must not be mistaken for law in force or the official position of any institution mentioned.
Availability and links
Access without a guarantee of uninterrupted service
The publisher may amend, suspend or withdraw any part of the website, particularly for maintenance, updating or security. External links are provided for reference or convenience. The publisher controls neither their continuing availability nor their operators’ practices.
Prohibited conduct
Safeguarding the integrity of the website
- Circumvent security measures or disrupt the service;
- extract content in bulk or create a database substantially reproducing this body of work;
- use Patrice Lebon’s distinctive signs, or those of the companies presented here, in a manner liable to suggest an affiliation or endorsement;
- distribute website content while fraudulently altering its meaning, authorship or date.
Applicable law
French law
These terms are governed by French law, subject to any mandatory provisions protecting consumers in their country of residence. In the event of a dispute, the parties shall first endeavour to reach an amicable settlement before commencing proceedings.
