Conditions of Use of the Site

1. Scope of application

These Conditions of Use (the “Conditions”) govern access to and use of this website (the “Site”), operated by Fornett S.a.s. (“Fornett”).
By accessing or browsing the Site, you accept these Conditions in full. If you do not agree to any part of them, you must discontinue use of the Site immediately.

The Conditions form part of the overall legal framework applicable to the Site, including Fornett’s General Terms of Sale where relevant. If a conflict arises between these Conditions and the General Terms of Sale, the latter shall apply to transactions involving the purchase of products. Where no purchase is made, only these Conditions apply.

Fornett may amend or update these Conditions at any time. Changes take effect once published on the Site. Continued use of the Site following publication constitutes acceptance of the revised Conditions. Users who do not accept the updated Conditions must stop using the Site and close any existing accounts.

2. Nature and use of the Site

The Site is an informational platform through which Fornett presents its materials, products, projects and related activities.
The Site does not function as an e-commerce channel and no online sales are offered.
Certain areas or functions of the Site may be accessible only to individuals or companies who submit an inquiry or request samples and are provided with specific credentials in order to complete that process.

3. Intellectual and industrial property

The Site and all material available on it (“Content”) are the property of Fornett, its affiliates or licensors. The Content includes, among other elements, trademarks, product images, drawings, documents, photographs, layouts, software, texts and any other material accessible through the Site.

Any use falling outside this narrowly defined purpose is not permitted.

6. Credentials for sample requests

Credentials are required only when an individual or company submits a request for sample materials, including but not limited to Fornett’s sample boxes.

Upon submission, the user receives an automatic confirmation indicating that the request has been received and is under review. The confirmation does not constitute acceptance of the request. Fornett evaluates each inquiry at its sole discretion.
Fornett reserves the right, at any time and without obligation to provide justification, to accept, limit, postpone or refuse any request for samples.

If the request is accepted, the samples will be prepared and dispatched by courier to the delivery address indicated in the form. The user is responsible for ensuring that all information supplied is accurate, complete and up to date. Fornett shall not be liable for delays, impossibility of delivery or other issues arising from incorrect or incomplete information.

Any suspicion of misuse of the form, provision of false or misleading information or unauthorised use of another person’s data authorises Fornett to suspend, cancel or refuse the request. The user must promptly inform Fornett if they believe that the information submitted has been misused or accessed unlawfully.

If the inquirer submits the request on behalf of a company, the inquirer represents and warrants that the request is placed with the knowledge and authorisation of that company, and that the inquirer has the necessary powers to bind or validly represent that company for the purpose of obtaining samples. Fornett may request further confirmation of such authority at any time.
