They express the entire obligations of the parties. The Customer is deemed to have accepted them unreservedly or else his order will not be validated.

When in doubt about any conditions of sale, normal practice in the area of distance selling by companies having their head offices in France and the French Consumer Code apply.


ARTICLE 1. ONLINE SHOP

Via the website, GOTO GAMES provides the Customer with an online shop presenting the products on sale accurately.

Prices and taxes associated with the sale of products are indicated in the online shop.

The technical requirements necessary to make the best use of the products are also brought to the Customer’s notice. It is the Customer’s responsibility to ensure that the product meets his needs but also that his equipment, configurations and connection are compatible.

Our customer service can be contacted via the contact page of the website.


ARTICLE 2. PRICE

GOTO GAMES reserves the right to change prices at any time and publish them on the website.

Only the prices shown when placing the order shall apply.

Prices are all taxes included and given in Euros, US dollars, British pounds and Swiss francs.

Prices include applicable taxes on the date the order is placed and any change in the rate will automatically be reflected in the price of the products in the online shop. Should one or more taxes or contributions be imposed or modified, whether upwards or downwards, this change may be reflected in the selling price of the products.

The total amount of the order (all taxes included) is shown before final confirmation of the order by the Customer.

Payment must be made in full at the time of placing the order.

Prices are per single personal licence for the Customer.


ARTICLE 3. ONLINE ORDER

After clicking on “Shop”, to order one or several products, the Customer selects his country and currency.

Upon confirmation of the offer selected, the Customer will be requested to enter his geographical location. Thereafter the Customer will be requested to enter his postal address. GOTO Games recalls that the Customer is solely responsible for the information he provides. The Customer therefore undertakes to provide accurate information.

ARTICLE 4. PAYMENT AND ORDER CONFIRMATION

Under Article L.121-20 of the French Consumer Code, the Customer as a consumer has fourteen full days to exercise his right to withdraw from the date he subscribes, without having to provide a valid reason nor pay any penalties, except return charges if need be. When the Customer expressly requests to exercise his right to withdraw before the end of the withdrawal period, it triggers the reimbursement, by GOTO GAMES, of the difference between the amount paid and the amount for the service provided until he has informed the company of his decision to withdraw, calculated in proportion to time.

To exercise his right to withdraw, the Customer shall fill in the attached form and send it back to GOTO Games at the following address: GOTO GAMES, 28 B Rue Parmentier, Bâtiment ShareWood, 59650 Villeneuve-d'Ascq, France. Or he can make any other clearly worded statement expressing his decision to withdraw. GOTO GAMES shall acknowledge receipt to the Customer without delay.

Article L.221-28 of the French Consumer Code excludes from the right of withdrawal digital content not provided on a material support whose performance has begun with the Customer’s prior and express consent and waiver of his right of withdrawal.


ARTICLE 6. LIABILITY

GOTO GAMES is under an obligation to use its best endeavours only as regards the commitments listed in the present conditions.

GOTO GAMES shall not be held liable for any indirect damage or loss, expected loss of profits or savings, loss of revenue, damage to the image that do not directly and exclusively result from its failure.

In any event, the Parties agree that the total amount of the sums that may be borne by GOTO GAMES in the case where it would be held liable for any reason whatsoever will be limited to the amount of the sums actually paid by the Customer to GOTO GAMES in the 12 months prior to the event giving rise to the damage.

For his part, the Customer is responsible for any damage, of material or immaterial nature, direct or indirect, to third parties, including GOTO GAMES, resulting from the illegal use of the products, regardless of the cause and location where the damage occurs.

The User protects GOTO GAMES from the consequences, claims or actions that the company may be faced with.

The Customer can choose the minimum term of subscription (3 months, 6 months or 12 months). Therefore there is a subscription obligation involved until the end of the subscription. The Customer keeps the possibility of terminating his subscription early. However, GOTO GAMES will not entertain any request for reimbursement.
