Conditions for use of the website

1 – Use of the website content

While we make every possible effort to ensure that the information published on this website is up-to-date and to provide users with accurate information, users should be aware that data transmission on the internet, circulating across a wide range of different types of networks, cannot be considered as totally reliable from a technical point of view. We cannot therefore guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or availability of the data appearing on the website.

Any errors or omissions may be reported in writing to FTO at the postal address listed above.

Furthermore, FTO may be required to modify and/or improve the content of this website, including the content of this legal notice, at any time and without prior notice and does not assume any liability resulting from the accuracy of any information displayed on this website.

FTO does not permit its site to be used to receive confidential information or information that is protected by industrial or trade secret rights, unless expressly stated otherwise in a separate written agreement.
