All information provided on the Hotelcert site (documents contained on the site and all items created for the site) is the exclusive property of AFNOR CERTIFICATION, its subsidiaries and affiliated entities and is subject to copyright law as from its provision to the public on this web server.

Unless otherwise stated, company names, logos, products and marks referred to on this site are the property of AFNOR and/or AFNOR CERTIFICATION. Their appearance shall not grant any licence or right of use in any way of the said marks, which may not therefore be used without the prior written consent of AFNOR or its successors in title.

 

„ The following are subject to the prior written consent of AFNOR:

 

- extraction, by permanent or temporary transfer, of all or a qualitatively or quantitatively substantial part of the contents of the databases to another medium, whatever the means or form thereof;
- re-use by provision to the public of all or a qualitatively or quantitatively substantial part of the contents of the databases, whatever the form thereof.

„ The following are authorised:

In general, utilisation of the database in compliance with the database purpose is permitted.
Any other utilisation not expressly authorised or any total or partial representation of this site, whatever the process used, is strictly prohibited without the prior written authorisation of AFNOR or AFNOR CERTIFICATION and will amount to breach of copyright penalised by articles L.355-2 et seq, French Intellectual Property Code.

 

- Photographs appearing on www.hotelcert.com

 

Photographs and images of hotels and establishments appearing on the site are non-contractual. These images and their attributes may be modified by AFNOR without notice. AFNOR displays photographs on its website provided by hotels and similar establishments listed under the HotelCert standard; it is not the creator of the photographs and declines any liability concerning the holding of rights. It is the exclusive responsibility of the managers of hotels and similar establishments to arrange any authorisation necessary before providing such photographs to AFNOR CERTIFICATION.

 

Any re-use or modification of a photograph or accompanying caption is subject to the prior written agreement of the author. No photograph may be used for advertising purposes without authorisation. If you manipulate an image you are creating a "derivative" work. Under prevailing copyright law, the creator of an original work is deemed to be the owner of the copyright. You will not therefore hold the copyright in any derivative work if you do not own the original work. Any re-working is therefore subject to the agreement of the author pursuant to article L.122-4, French Intellectual Property Code.

 

The site endeavours to ensure that the information it distributes is accurate and up-to-date and declines any liability for any lack of precision, inaccuracy or omission and for any loss or damage resulting from fraudulent insertion by a third party entailing modification of information provided.
