–              Abnormal use or preservation of the Product,

In any event, consequential damage and/or indirect financial loss are not covered. TAC’s warranty is limited strictly to replacement or reimbursement of Products that are non-conforming or defective.

TAC does not assume any liability or give any guarantee with respect to defective functioning of the internet, particularly a delay in transmissions or any other malfunctioning.  TAC does not give any guarantee with respect to non-blocking of messages transmitted by electronic means.

TAC disclaims any and all liability for temporary or permanent damage to the Customer’s computer system, or for any losses or damage that might be incurred, particularly following access to or surfing on the Site.

The transmission of data via the internet may entail errors and/or the fact that the Site is not continuously available.  Consequently, TAC disclaims any and all liability for unavailability or interruption of the online service.

TAC does not assume any liability whatsoever if a Customer uses the Site in a fraudulent way.

9    FORCE MAJEURE

TAC’s liability shall not be sought in the event of belated execution of any of its obligations or the inability to execute any of them, following:

  • a situation of force majeureas defined in case law;
  • labour conflicts, partial or total strikes at sales outlets, suppliers, service providers, carriers, telecommunications, public services, etc.;
  • interruption of supplies, electrical power and transportation;
  • general governmental decisions;
  • or any other cause that is beyond TAC’s control.

The Party impaired by an event of force majeure must promptly inform the other Party of its inability to execute its obligations. Under no circumstance shall a suspension of its obligations constitute a cause of liability for a failure to execute the obligation in question, or lead to the payment of damages.

As soon as the event responsible for the suspension of their obligations disappears, the Parties shall extend every effort to resume normal execution of their obligations.

Thirty (30) days after the interruption of delivery by virtue of force majeure or similar causes, TAC reserves the right to decline to honor the order, with it being responsible for reimbursing the Customer within thirty (30) days following the cancellation thereof.

10  COMPUTERIZED DATA PROCESSING AND INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS

All of the texts, comments, photos, trademarks, graphics, designs, illustrations and images comprising the Site are TAC’s property and are protected by intellectual property rights in (KOREA) and throughout the world.  Any total or partial reproduction of the Site is strictly prohibited.

The collection of nominative information for online sales is mandatory, since such information is indispensable for processing and forwarding orders and issuing invoices.   A failure to provide the required information results in invalidation of the order.

To make purchases on the Site, the Customer must create an account and select an email address and a password that he uses whenever he wants to access the Site.  Hence, the Customer’s personal information is protected by a password in such a way that only the Customer has access to it.  TAC advises the Customer not to disclose his password.  The Customer must also disconnect from his profile and close the window of his navigator at the end of each working session, particularly when he uses group computer equipment.  The Customer will thus prevent other users from getting access to his personal information.  The Customer alone is responsible for his password, and bears the consequences of any fraudulent use thereof.

In accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation, personal information regarding Customers is subject to secure processing. In particular, the Customer has the right to access, modify, rectify and delete his data, which he may exercise with TAC.

To exercise these rights, the Customer should send an email at the following address  [email protected]

Moreover, TAC commits that it will not transmit — either free of charge or for payment of a consideration — its Customers’ identification data to a third party. However, it may use these data for itself or for companies of the same group.

In that regard, TAC advises the Customer to consult its confidentiality policy regarding personal data processing, which is accessible on the Site.

11  NON-WAIVER

The fact that TAC abstains from requiring the execution of any provisions of these GTCS at a particular time shall not be deemed a waiver of its right to subsequently invoke said total or partial non-execution.

12  APPLICABLE LAW – LANGUAGE

These general terms and conditions of sale and the order confirmation transmitted to the Customer constitute a contractual whole and the entirety of the contractual relationships between the Parties.

13  JURISDICTION

Any disputes that might arise regarding the validity, interpretation, execution, rescission and consequences of purchases and sales carried out pursuant to these GTCS, which TAC and the Customer are unable to resolve, will be submitted to the competent courts pursuant to the terms and conditions of general law.

14  PRECONTRACTUAL INFORMATION– ACCEPTANCE BY THE CUSTOMER

Prior to placing his order, the Customer acknowledges that he has received in a clear and comprehensible way these GTCS and, in particular:

– The Products’ essential characteristics, taking into account the communication medium that is used and the Products involved.

– The price of the Products, and the ancillary costs (e.g. delivery).

– In the absence of immediate execution of the contract, the date or time specified by TAC for delivery of the Product.

– The information regarding the seller’s identity (TAC), its postal address, telephone number, email address, and its activities, if they fall within the context.

– The information regarding legal warranties and the terms and conditions for exercising them.

– The functionalities of the digital content and, if applicable, its interoperability.

– The right of contractual mediation in the event of a dispute.

– The information related to the right of retraction (existence, conditions, time limit, modes of exercising this right, and the retraction type form), the costs of return of Products and other significant contractual terms and conditions.

The fact that a Customer places an order on the Site carries with it full adherence and acceptance of these GTCS, which is expressly acknowledged by the Customer, who, in particular, waives the right to invoke any contradictory document, which would be unenforceable vis-à-vis TAC.
