Website-disclaimer:

This page describes the legal terms and conditions which apply to every Internet user visiting the GDF SUEZ website or the website of GDF SUEZ's subsidiaries and affiliates (together, the "Websites"). In consulting this site you undertake to comply with these terms and conditions without reservation. We would advise you to consult these terms regularly, as they may be modified from time to time and without warning.

1 - Nature of Information
GDF SUEZ and its subsidiaries and affiliates (together, the "GDF SUEZ group") have created the Websites for the personal use of their visitors. The GDF SUEZ group makes every effort to ensure that information available on the Websites is accurate and updated and the GDF SUEZ group reserves the right to modify the Websites' contents at any time without prior notice. However, the GDF SUEZ group cannot fully guarantee that any and all such information made available on the Websites is accurate, precise, updated or exhaustive. You assume the entire risk of relying on this information.
Consequently, the GDF SUEZ group may not be held responsible for:
- any imprecision, inaccuracy or omission in the information presented on the Websites;
- any damage resulting from fraudulent intrusion by a third party leading to the modification of the information or materials provided on the Websites;
- generally, any damage, direct or indirect, regardless of its cause, origin, nature or consequences, even in cases where GDF SUEZ would have been aware of the foreseeability of such damage, whether such damage results from (i) access to or inability to access the Websites, (ii) use of the Websites, including any damage or virus which may affect your computer system or any other element, and/or (iii) credit given to any information provided directly or indirectly on the Websites.

The information on the Websites and all other sites is provided "as is", without any kind of warranty, whether express or implied. GDF SUEZ does not offer any express or implied warranty relative without limitation to their merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose.

The GDF SUEZ group categorically rejects any interpretation which tends to assimilate the content of the Websites with offers of purchase or incitement to purchase shares or other securities, whether listed or non-listed, of GDF SUEZ, or any one of its direct or indirect subsidiaries or affiliate companies.
Member companies of the GDF SUEZ group have their own legal existence and have independent legal personality, but on this site the terms "GDF SUEZ", "group" or "we/us", are sometimes used to designate all GDF SUEZ group companies or when there is no need to identify a particular company of the GDF SUEZ group.
