 ARTICLE 8 – LIABILITY

 IMPORTANT

It is reminded that MGSI only acts as a simple intermediary between the CLIENT and the PROVIDER when placing an order for a CONSULTING SERVICE on the PLATFORM. For the rest, as the realization of the sold CONSULTING SERVICE only concerns the CLIENT and the PROVIDER, MGSI’s responsibility can only be engaged because of this sale by MGSI.

 MGSI’s responsibility cannot be engaged in the event of non-performance or poor performance of the contractual obligations attributable to the PROVIDER.

 MGSI shall not be held responsible, or considered to have failed hereunder, for any delay or non-performance, whatever the cause.

 In its capacity as host, MGSI undertakes to promptly remove any manifestly illicit content as soon as it becomes aware of it. Notification of manifestly illicit content may be made by e-mail to info@mgsi.lu and by registered mail with acknowledgement of receipt to MGSI sarl 1 rue Bender L-1229, Luxembourg.

  ARTICLE 9 – FORCE MAJEURE

 The responsibility of MGSI in its relations with the CUSTOMER cannot be implemented if the non-execution or delay in the execution of one of its obligations described in the present GCS results from a case of force majeure. By force majeure is understood any cause that is foreign, unforeseeable, of an irresistible nature or whose effects would substantially modify the economic balance of the sale of MGSI.

 The events of strike, lockouts, fire, pandemic, flood, riot, war, shortage of fuel, energy, transport, materials, products necessary for the manufacture of the MGSI, etc., are considered as force majeure, even if they are only partial and whatever the cause.

 ARTICLE 10 – PERSONAL DATA

 With regard to the processing of personal data carried out on the PLATFORM, MGSI refers to the Customer to its Privacy Policy.

ARTICLE 11 – VALIDITY OF GTC – Proof

Any change in the legislation or regulations in force, or any decision of a competent court invalidating one or more clauses of these GTC shall not affect the validity of these GTC. Such a modification or decision in no way authorizes the CUSTOMER to disregard all the other clauses of these GCS.

The PARTIES expressly agree that all their exchanges and actions carried out through the PLATFORM shall have evidential value and may be used in support of any of their claims before anybody, administration or court.

 ARTICLE 12 – MODIFICATION OF THE GENERAL CONDITIONS

 These GTC are precisely dated and may be modified and updated at any time. It is, however, specified that the applicable GTCs are those in force at the time of the order. Thus, the modifications made to the GCS will not apply to CONSULTING SERVICES already ordered.

 ARTICLE 13 – ATTRIBUTION OF COMPETENCE AND APPLICABLE LAW

 These GCS are governed by Luxembourg law. In the event of a dispute, only the French courts will be competent.

 The PARTIES undertake, on pain of inadmissibility, to attempt to settle amicably any dispute arising between them concerning the interpretation, execution, resolution or termination of these GTC by referring the matter to a mediator.

 IF NO AMICABLE AGREEMENT IS REACHED WITHIN SIX (6) MONTHS FROM THE DATE ONE OF THE PARTIES IS SEIZED OF THE MATTER, THE DISPUTE MAY BE SUBMITTED TO THE COURTS OF LUXEMBOURG, TO WHICH JURISDICTION IS EXPRESSLY ATTRIBUTED, NOTWITHSTANDING THE PLURALITY OF DEFENDANTS OR THE INTRODUCTION OF THIRD PARTIES, INCLUDING FOR EMERGENCY OR PROTECTIVE PROCEEDINGS, BY REFERENCE OR BY REQUEST.
