6. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

6.1 Oeno.match's rights

The Application, its source code, design, logos, visual identity, databases and all elements that make it up (except User Content) are the exclusive property of Oeno.match or its licensors.

In particular, the following are protected:

The "Oeno.match" trademark and its logo
The user interface design
The recommendation algorithms
The appellation and grape-variety databases
The texts, images and editorial content
The software architecture

Any unauthorised reproduction, representation, modification or exploitation constitutes infringement punishable under the French Intellectual Property Code.

6.2 Use of trademarks

The trademarks, logos and trade names displayed in the Application belong to their respective owners (wineries, appellations, regions, etc.). Their use is strictly limited to identifying the wines referenced.

6.3 Hyperlinks

The Application may contain links to third-party sites (wine merchants, producers, etc.). We do not control these sites and disclaim any responsibility for their content, privacy practices or availability.

7. COMMERCIAL AFFILIATION AND MONETISATION

7.1 Affiliate programme

Oeno.match takes part in affiliate programmes with third-party wine merchants, which may change over time.

How it works: When you click a link to a product at a partner and make a purchase, we may receive a commission.

This entails NO extra cost for you. The price you pay is the same as you would pay by going directly to the merchant's website.

7.2 Independence of recommendations

Our wine and food-pairing recommendations are generated by artificial intelligence algorithms or by our editorial choices and are NOT influenced by our commercial partnerships.

We do not favour our partners' products in our suggestions. Affiliate links are clearly identified as such.

7.3 No guarantee on third-party transactions

We are NOT a party to transactions carried out with our partners.

Any order, delivery, return, refund or dispute concerning a purchase made through an affiliate link must be handled directly with the merchant concerned.

We disclaim any responsibility regarding:

The quality, conformity or availability of the products
Delivery times and costs
Return and refund policies
The customer service of partner merchants
Commercial disputes

7.4 Prices and availability

Prices and availability displayed via affiliate links are indicative and may vary. We do not guarantee their real-time accuracy.

8. GROUP ORDERS BETWEEN USERS

8.1 Principle

The "Group orders" feature allows you to invite other users to join you in purchasing the same wine together from a third-party seller.

The person who publishes the proposal is referred to as the Organiser. Those who accept it are referred to as the Participants.

8.2 Our role

In accordance with article 4.3, Oeno.match is not an alcohol retail service. We provide a technical tool that puts users in touch with one another.

We are neither seller, nor reseller, nor agent, nor commission agent, nor broker, nor intermediary to the transaction. We are not a party to the contract entered into between the Organiser, the Participants and the third-party seller, we never hold the bottles, and we receive no remuneration or commission in respect of group orders.

8.3 Your obligations as Organiser

You act in your own name, on behalf of the group, free of charge. You undertake to:

Derive no profit, margin, commission or benefit of any kind from redistributing the bottles. The amount requested from each Participant may not exceed their share of the price actually paid to the third-party seller and of the costs actually incurred, with supporting documents provided on request
State, before any Participant commits, the wine concerned, its bottle size, the unit price and the handover arrangements
Carry on no commercial alcohol retail activity through this feature
Ensure that your own purchase from the third-party seller complies with the regulations applicable to you
Inform Participants without delay of any cancellation, unavailability or substantial change

8.4 Your obligations as Participant

Your acceptance constitutes a firm undertaking to pay the Organiser the share corresponding to the quantity you indicated.

You undertake to provide accurate contact details enabling the Organiser to reach you, and not to resell the bottles acquired in this context.

8.5 No payment, storage or delivery

No payment is made within the Application. Settlement takes place directly between the Participant and the Organiser, by any means agreed between them, outside the Service.

We provide neither storage, nor transport, nor handover of the bottles. We offer no completion guarantee, no escrow and no refund mechanism.

8.6 Alcohol and regulations

The sale and the free supply of alcoholic beverages to minors are prohibited, in accordance with article L. 3342-1 of the French public health code.

This feature may not be used to promote alcoholic beverages beyond what articles L. 3323-2 et seq. of that code permit.

If you act in a professional capacity, it is your responsibility to hold the required licences, declarations and authorisations.

Alcohol abuse is dangerous for your health. Consume in moderation.

8.7 Disclosure of your contact details

By accepting a group order, you expressly consent to your email address and, if you provide it, your telephone number being passed to the Organiser, for the sole purpose of arranging payment and handover of the bottles. The legal basis for this processing is your consent, within the meaning of article 6.1.a of the GDPR.

The Organiser becomes the controller of those contact details for the use they make of them. They undertake to make no use unrelated to the group order concerned, in particular no marketing, and to delete them once the operation is complete.

You may withdraw your participation from the Application until the deadline set by the Organiser. Withdrawal cancels your commitment, ends the Organiser's use of your contact details, and is notified to them. It does not affect the validity of prior processing. After that deadline, your participation can no longer be changed or withdrawn. Contact details are retained for twelve months from the closure of the group order.

8.8 No warranty and liability

Further to article 10, we give no warranty and accept no liability in respect of:

The authenticity, origin, vintage, quality, state of preservation or conformity of the wines concerned
The accuracy of the prices announced by the Organiser
The proper performance of payment or handover of the bottles
The solvency or default of the Organiser, the Participants or the third-party seller
The Organiser's compliance with their undertaking to derive no profit

Any dispute arising from a group order is solely between the users concerned and, where applicable, the third-party seller.

8.9 Breaches and sanctions

The following are prohibited in particular: redistribution at a margin, use of the feature for commercial or advertising purposes, offering counterfeit products, transfer to a minor, and any solicitation unrelated to the purpose of the group order.

On the terms set out in articles 5.4 and 11.1, we may remove a publication, suspend access to the feature or terminate your account in the event of a breach of this article.

8.10 Future developments

Should we come to act as a remunerated intermediary in these transactions, a new version of these Terms and of the consent text collected in the Application would be submitted for your acceptance, on the terms set out in article 15.

9. PERSONAL DATA

The processing of your personal data is governed by our Privacy Policy, which forms an integral part of these Terms.

In summary:

We collect only the data necessary for the Service to function
Your data is hosted in Europe (as a priority) and in the United States (subcontractors)
