Under no circumstances shall it be understood that the access, navigation and use of the Web site by the user or the use, acquisition and/or contracting of products or services offered through the same implies a waiver, transmission, licence or total or partial assignment of these rights by SCHMIDT GROUPE S.A.S. The user has the right to use the contents and/or services of the Website within a strictly domestic environment and only with the purpose to enjoy the service in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

At no time, unless expressly stated to the contrary, shall the user access, navigate or use the Web site and/or its contents and have any right over distinctive signs included in it.

5. Links

5.1. Links to other websites

In the event that links to other web pages are shown on the Website by means of different buttons, links, banners, embedded contents, etc., SCHMIDT GROUPE S.A.S. informs that these would be managed directly by third parties. SCHMIDT GROUPE S.A.S. has no power or human or technical means to know in advance and/or control and/or approve all the information, contents, products or services provided by other platforms to which links may be established from the Website.

Consequently, SCHMIDT GROUPE S.A.S. may not assume any type of responsibility for any aspect relating to the platform or web page to which a link may be established from the Website, specifically, but not limited to, its operation, access, data, information, files, quality and purpose of its products and services, its own links and/or any of its contents, in general.

In this respect, if users become aware that the activities carried out through these third party web pages are illegal or contravene morality and/or public order, they must immediately notify SCHMIDT GROUPE S.A.S. so that the access link to them can be disabled.

In any case, the establishment of any type of link from the Website to another third party website will not imply that there is any type of relationship, collaboration or dependence between SCHMIDT GROUPE S.A.S. and the person responsible for that third party website.


5.2. Links to the SCHMIDT GROUPE S.A.S. channel on other platforms and social networks

SCHMIDT GROUPE S.A.S. may make available to the users, by means of different tools and applications, link media which allow the users to access the channels and pages of the Website which SCHMIDT GROUPE S.A.S. maintains on different platforms and social networks belonging to and/or managed by third parties (e.g. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, etc.). The inclusion of these links on the Website is solely for the purpose of facilitating users’ access to such channels on the different platforms and social networks.

The establishment of these links does not imply the existence of any relationship between SCHMIDT GROUPE S.A.S. and the owner, manufacturer or distributor of the linked platform, nor the acceptance and approval by SCHMIDT GROUPE S.A.S. of its contents and/or services, the owner, manufacturer or distributor being solely responsible for them.

Under no circumstances does SCHMIDT GROUPE S.A.S. share with Facebook, Twitter or any other social network that may be incorporated in the future any type of private information about its users, its only purpose being that established in this Privacy Policy, as well as in the Privacy Policy of the Website. In this sense, all information that the user wishes to provide to these platforms will be under his/her own responsibility, with no intervention by SCHMIDT GROUPE S.A.S. in this process.

The activation and use of these links may involve the identification and authentication of the user (login/password) on the corresponding platforms, completely outside the Website and beyond the control of SCHMIDT GROUPE S.A.S.. By accessing such external networks, the user enters an environment not controlled by SCHMIDT GROUPE S.A.S.; therefore SCHMIDT GROUPE S.A.S. shall not assume any responsibility for the security of such environments and configuration.

Given that SCHMIDT GROUPE S.A.S. has no control over the content hosted on such channels, the user acknowledges and accepts that SCHMIDT GROUPE S.A.S. does not assume any responsibility for the content or services to which the user may have access on such pages, nor for any content, products, services, advertising or any other material available on such pages.

SCHMIDT GROUPE S.A.S. does not authorise the establishment of a link to the Website from those web pages which contain material, information or content that is illicit, illegal, degrading, obscene and, in general, which contravenes the law, morals or public order, or generally accepted social norms.

SCHMIDT GROUPE S.A.S. has no power or human or technical means to know, control or approve all the information, contents, products or services provided by other web pages which have established links to the Website.
