These general conditions of use hereinafter referred to as “GCU” are intended to govern the relationship between the publisher and the user in the access and use of the website renovup.eu, hereinafter referred to as “the website”. These GCU are therefore applicable as soon as the user accesses this website.

Article 3 – responsibility of the publisher

The publisher declares that it will make its best efforts and take all possible precautions as to the reliability, accessibility, integrity and updating of all information – whatever its form, in particular in the form of texts, sounds, still or animated images, videos, databases, hypertext links, intended to be consulted by the user on the website.

However, the publisher expressly informs the user that this information:

In view of the above, the user acknowledges and accepts that the use of the information available on the website is at his/her own risk and under his/her sole and entire responsibility.

Consequently, the user is solely responsible for the interpretation and/or use of the information available on the website and therefore for the consequences and/or possible damage, of any nature whatsoever, to him or herself and/or to third parties, which may result, without the publisher being able to be held liable in this respect, and without recourse against the latter.

Article 4 – hypertext links

Hypertext links on the renovup.eu website

The website may contain hypertext links to other sites on the Internet. These links towards other resources have for consequences:

• to make the user leave the renovup.eu website;
• and to send the user to other websites over which the publisher has no control or command, with the exception of websites directly administered and managed by the CCCA-BTP (www.ccca-btp.fr, www.apprentissage-btp.com, www.casques-jaunes.fr, www.reforme.org).

In view of the above, the publisher is purely and simply unable to guarantee, implicitly or expressly, the reliability, accessibility, integrity, let alone the updating of the information in any form whatsoever, and in particular in the form of texts, sounds, still or animated images, videos, databases, hyperlinks, contained on the websites to which the user is referred via these hypertext links.

Consequently:

• the user acknowledges and accepts that the use of the information that can be consulted on the websites to which he/she is referred via these hyperlinks is at his/her own risk and under his/her sole and entire responsibility;
• the user is solely responsible for the interpretation and/or use of the information that can be consulted from the websites to which he/she is referred via these hyperlinks and, consequently, for the consequences and/or possible damage of any kind, for him/herself and/or for third parties, that may result from this, without the publisher being able to be sought in this respect, and without recourse against the latter.

Hyperlinks to the renovup.eu website

The publisher authorises any third party to establish a hypertext link to any of the web pages of its Internet site renovup.eu after simple information from its Marketing, Development and Strategic Innovation Department which can be contacted at the following email address: communication@ccca-btp.fr.

Nevertheless, if a hypertext link should create a prejudice to the publisher, for whatever reason, the publisher reserves the right to forbid it at any time, without prior notice and, if necessary, to ask for compensation.

Article 5 – availibility of the website

The publisher declares that it will make its best efforts and take all possible precautions to allow access to the website 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Nevertheless, due to the nature of the Internet network and in particular for reasons of maintenance, technical malfunction, cases of force majeure, events beyond the control of the publisher, the latter cannot guarantee the availability without interruption, 24 hours a day, of the said site nor the reliability of transmissions and performance in terms of response time or quality.

In addition, users are expressly advised that:

• for any reason whatsoever, the publisher may be required to interrupt access to the website, in whole or in part, at any time without prior notice, and without any right to compensation for himself or third parties;
• no technical assistance, in any form whatsoever, electronic or telephone, is offered by the publisher.

In view of the above, the user acknowledges that access to the website is at his/her own risk and under his/her sole and entire responsibility, which he/she accepts.

Consequently, the user is solely responsible for the consequences and/or damage, of whatever nature, to him or herself and/or third parties, which may result from the impossibility of accessing the website, without the publisher being able to be sought in this respect, and without recourse against the latter.
