LEGAL NOTICES

Last updated: [to be completed on the date of posting]

1. Publisher of the site

The website accessible at https://euro-vignette.com (hereinafter referred to as "the Site") is the exclusive property of the company Slick, a company registered with the Paris Trade and Companies Register under the SIREN number 818 723 892.

The company Slick is governed by French law. Its registered office is located at 28 rue Miollis, 75015 Paris, France.

Slick ensures that the published content complies with the laws in force, particularly those relating to press freedom, copyright, and consumer protection.

For any questions, suggestions, or requests regarding the operation of the Site, the services offered, or the company itself, it is possible to contact Slick electronically at the following address: contact@euro-vignette.com. This contact is reserved for site users and visitors for any legitimate request related to their user experience or rights.

Slick makes every effort to ensure the transparency of its identity as a publisher and invites every user to refer to these legal notices as well as the privacy policy and general conditions available online.

2. Hosting

The site euro-vignette.com is hosted by Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS), whose headquarters is located at 410 Terry Avenue North, P.O. Box 81226, Seattle, WA 98108-1226, United States. AWS is a globally recognized provider for the reliability and security of its cloud infrastructures.

The servers used have international certifications (ISO/IEC 27001, SOC 2, PCI-DSS, etc.), ensuring a high level of data protection and compliance with applicable standards in terms of IT security.

The site's data is protected by encryption devices, redundant backup systems, and continuous monitoring. These mechanisms ensure the availability, integrity, and confidentiality of the hosted information.

In the event of a major anomaly, the company Slick commits to implementing the necessary actions to restore services as quickly as possible and to inform users if their data is affected.

3. Site activity

The site euro-vignette.com offers an intermediation service aimed at simplifying the ordering of electronic toll stickers (called e-stickers), required for legal circulation on certain road networks in various European countries, including Austria, Bulgaria, Hungary, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Switzerland, and the Czech Republic.

This service aims to centralize the administrative procedures necessary for obtaining the stickers, by facilitating the entry, translation if necessary, and secure transmission of customer data to the competent authorities of each concerned country.

The site thus allows users to avoid common mistakes related to differences in legislation or language, and to obtain their stickers in a simple, quick, and compliant manner.

It is important to emphasize that the company Slick acts solely as a technical intermediary. It does not issue the stickers itself, does not make any administrative decisions regarding their validity, and does not represent in any way the states, highway authorities, or public providers of the issuing countries. The actual issuance of e-stickers depends exclusively on the official platforms or authorized partners for this purpose in each jurisdiction.

Consequently, Slick cannot be held responsible in the event of a refusal to issue a sticker by the administration of a third country, nor in the event of changes to local regulations, price changes, or traffic conditions imposed by national authorities.

4. Terms of use

Access to the site euro-vignette.com and the use of its features imply full, complete, and unconditional acceptance of these General Terms and Conditions of Sale (GTC), which constitute the only contractual framework enforceable between the user and the company Slick.

The General Terms and Conditions specify in particular the rules regarding order placement, payment methods, execution times, respective responsibilities, and possible remedies in case of disputes. It is the responsibility of each user to carefully review these conditions before placing any order and to ensure that they understand the implications.

The user agrees to use the Site in accordance with its intended purpose, without attempting to disrupt its proper functioning or to fraudulently access data or computer systems. Any attempt at intrusion, alteration of content, or abusive use may result in civil and/or criminal proceedings.

By accessing the Site and placing an order, the user acknowledges having the legal capacity to contract and guarantees the accuracy of the information provided. In case of non-compliance with the General Terms and Conditions, Slick reserves the right to suspend access to the service or to cancel an order, without prejudice to any action for damages.

5. Intellectual property

All elements accessible on the site euro-vignette.com, including but not limited to texts, images, logos, illustrations, icons, interfaces, audiovisual content, databases, navigation structures, functionalities, and source codes, are protected by applicable laws relating to intellectual property, notably the French Intellectual Property Code.

These elements are either the exclusive property of the company Slick or used with the express permission of their rights holders. Any reproduction, representation, adaptation, translation, modification, exploitation, or reuse, in whole or in part, in any form whatsoever, for commercial or non-commercial purposes, without prior written authorization from Slick, is strictly prohibited and constitutes an infringement that may engage the civil and criminal liability of its author.

Simple access to the Site does not confer any intellectual property rights to the user on the content viewed. The user is prohibited from infringing, in any way, the intellectual property rights of Slick or any third-party partner appearing on the Site.

Slick reserves the right to take any legal action to stop an infringement of its rights, including initiating legal proceedings in case of unauthorized use of protected content.

8. Responsibility

The company Slick makes every reasonable effort to ensure continuous, reliable, and secure access to the site euro-vignette.com, as well as the correct execution of the services offered. Nevertheless, the user acknowledges that access to the site may be temporarily suspended without notice in the event of maintenance, updates, technical anomalies, network congestion, or any other event beyond Slick's control.

Slick cannot be held responsible for any interruption or malfunction of the site resulting from:

  • a case of force majeure (in the sense of French case law),
  • from a misuse of the site or service by the user,
  • from an error or inaccuracy in the information provided by the Client during the order,
  • or from a technical incident beyond its control (host failure, network incident, hacking, etc.).

The user remains fully responsible for the information entered on the site, including the registration number, the country of circulation, the vehicle category, and the validity dates of the vignette. In case of an error attributable to the user, no liability can be held against Slick, and no automatic refund can be demanded once the order has been executed.

However, as an exception, the user has the option to submit a written and reasoned request to Slick's customer service at the following address: contact@euro-vignette.com. Each request will be examined on a case-by-case basis, taking into account the specific circumstances of the error, the status of the order processing, and the material possibility of intervening with the official issuer. The refund is in no way guaranteed and remains at the sole discretion of Slick.

Slick does not guarantee the completeness or accuracy of the information provided by foreign authorities or technical partners, and cannot be held responsible for administrative decisions or sanctions related to the use of a vignette issued through its intermediary.

Finally, in the event of a dispute or proven harm, Slick's liability is strictly limited to the total amount paid by the Client for the order in question, unless contrary mandatory legal provisions.
