This data is encrypted in Automobiles Citroën’s database.

ARTICLE 4 – MODERATION

The Opinions as well as the responses from Dealerships and Automobiles Citroën may be subject to prior human moderation; that is to say, before their publication on the Site, the Moderator may assess the Opinions and the responses from Dealerships and Automobiles Citroën in order to decide whether to publish them or not. In this capacity, the Moderator can access information relating to the identity of the author of the Opinion to, where appropriate, contact the author to discuss the Opinion.

The timescale for moderation is identical for all Opinions, whether they are positive or negative.

The aim of this moderation is to seek to ensure that the Opinions and the responses from Dealerships and Automobiles Citroën conform to the General terms and conditions of use. If there is a non-conformity which comes to the Moderator’s attention, the Opinions, together with the associated responses from Dealerships and Automobiles Citroën will not be published (or will be removed from the Site, if such non-compliance comes to Automobiles Citroën’s or the Moderator’s attention after publication on the Site). Consequently, the moderation is one of the safeguards which Automobiles Citroën has put in place, but it is not a ‘fail-safe’ protection or confirmation that the Opinions and responses on the Site are accurate or compliant with the General terms and conditions of use and legal requirements. Therefore: you must continue to comply with the General terms and conditions of use (including article 3.3 above) and legal requirements; and you accept full responsibility and liability for anything which you submit by way of any Opinion.

You must therefore have a good daily back up of your software, files and data in place, in case any of your data becomes lost or corrupted, or you are infected by a computer virus.

ARTICLE 11 – LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

You accept that the Site is being made available for personal, domestic, consumer use, and not for any of your business purposes. Stellantis Peugeot Citroën Group will not be held responsible for any damage directly or indirectly caused, such as, damage, loss of data or programs, or financial losses arising from the use of the Site or other websites which are linked to it.

The Site is accessible via the Internet network. In this respect, a reminder is issued that the Internet is an open and informal network, constituted by the interconnection on an international scale of IT networks. The management of the Internet is not subject to any central entity and each portion of this network belongs to an independent public or private body. Its operation is therefore based on the cooperation between the operators of the various networks, with no obligation of supply or of quality of supply between operators. The networks may have unequal transmission capacities and their own policies for use. No-one can guarantee the correct operation of the Internet as a whole. Therefore, Automobiles Citroën assumes neither responsibility for, nor a guarantee in the event of poor operation of, the Internet (transmissions delay or any other malfunction).

As Automobiles Citroën is not charging for access to the Site, Automobiles Citroën is not providing any assurances about the uptime or availability of the Site. Furthermore, you accept that there may be times when there might be outages in the Site’s availability.

You acknowledge that transmission of data using the internet is not guaranteed to be secure, so please bear this in mind when using any of the functionality of the Site.

Automobiles Citroën will not be held responsible by you for any losses resulting from damage, infection or corruption caused to your devices, including without limitation, any loss of data or software, or financial losses arising from the use of the Site.

Automobiles Citroën is not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen, or if at the time the contract was made, both Automobiles Citroën and you knew it might happen.

Automobiles Citroën is not liable for your business losses. Automobiles Citroën only makes available the Site and associated services for personal, domestic, consumer use. Consequently, Automobiles Citroën will have no liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity.

If Automobiles Citroën or the Stellantis Peugeot Citroën Group is found liable for any loss which is not lawfully excluded or limited, then where it is lawful for Stellantis Peugeot Citroën Group to limit its liability to you, it limits its liability to a total of £10 (ten pounds), to reflect that this Site is being provided on a free of charge basis to you. If you feel that your use of the Site may result in you losing more than this amount, then you must not use this Site.

The Stellantis Peugeot Citroën Group does not, by way of anything stated in the General terms and conditions of use or otherwise, exclude or limit in any way its liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so. Consequently, it does not exclude or limit liability for: death or personal injury caused by its negligence or the negligence of its employees, agents or subcontractors; fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; or breach of your legal rights in relation to the Site where such losses are not permitted to be excluded or limited at law.

ARTICLE 12 – SUSPENSION OR UNINTERRUPTED OF ACCESS TO THE SITE

Automobiles Citroën is entitled to suspend or stop your access to the whole or part of the Site and its associated services at any time, temporarily or on a permanent basis, if:

it is no longer able to provide the Site or associated services; or

you fail to comply with the General terms and conditions of use; or

it is necessary to undertake any maintenance activities in respect of the Sites or its associated services or infrastructure; or

it is necessary to update the Site to reflect changes in relevant laws or regulatory requirements.

Automobiles Citroën does not charge for access to the Site. Therefore, Automobiles Citroën does not guarantee that the Site, or any content on it, will always be available or be uninterrupted. Automobiles Citroën may suspend or withdraw or restrict the availability of all or any part of the Site for business and operational reasons. Automobiles Citroën will try to give you reasonable notice of any material suspension or withdrawal.

ARTICLE 13 – APPLICABLE LAW

These General terms and conditions of use are governed by English law and you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the Site and the General terms and conditions of use, in the English courts.

ARTICLE 14 – UPDATES TO THE SITE & GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF USE

Automobiles Citroën may issue updates to the Site from time to time. Such updates may contain enhancements to functionality, performance, compatibility, reliability, quality or security.

Automobiles Citroën may also change the General terms and conditions of use and Automobiles Citroën’s privacy policy as it applies to the Site. Such changes may be made for reasons which may include: changes in the features or functionality of the Site; compliance with laws; or changes in Automobiles Citroën’s operating model. If you do not wish to accept the updated terms, then you are not granted a licence to use the Site or its services.

Automobiles Citroën therefore reserves the right to amend and update, the General terms and conditions of use and any elements presented on the Site, for any reason, including to reflect changes to its products, services, Users' needs and its business priorities. Automobiles Citroën will try to give you reasonable notice of any major changes either via the Site or by email.

You must therefore consult the General terms and conditions of use every time you intend on using the Site (you will know that the General terms and conditions of use have been updated, if the version date at the start of these terms and conditions has been updated). You are considered to have accepted the latest version of the General terms and conditions of use every time you use the Site.

ARTICLE 15 – ADDITIONAL TERMS

Automobiles Citroën may transfer this contract to someone else. Automobiles Citroën may transfer its rights and obligations under the General terms and conditions of use to another organisation (but this will not affect your rights or obligations owed to you). Automobiles Citroën will always inform you in advance of the transfer if this happens (either by way of a general notice on the Site or by email).

You may not transfer your rights to someone else.

This contract is between you and Automobiles Citroën. No other person or party shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms (although the exclusions and limitations of liability will also apply for the benefit of Stellantis Peugeot Citroën Group, but such third parties’ consent will not be required to any changes, termination or other rights in relation to this contract).

Even if Automobiles Citroën delays in enforcing this contract, Automobiles Citroën can still enforce it later. If Automobiles Citroën does not insist immediately that you do anything which you are required to do under these General terms and conditions of use, or if Automobiles Citroën delays in taking steps against you in respect of you breaking this contract, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things, and it will not prevent Automobiles Citroën taking steps against you at a later date.
