2.Purpose and scope

The Website is informational and institutional in nature. It presents Atlantic Advisory's activity, services and team, and enables contact with prospective clients, candidates and other interested parties. These Terms do not govern the provision of professional services, which is the subject of a separate written agreement with each client that prevails over these Terms in the event of any conflict.

You undertake to use the Website in accordance with the law, good faith and these Terms, and in particular not to:

• use the Website for unlawful purposes, to the detriment of third-party rights or contrary to public policy;

5.Information provided and professional advice

The information on the Website, including articles, briefings, guides and legislative commentary, is general and purely informational, is prepared on the basis of the framework in force at the date of publication, and does not constitute accounting, tax, legal or financial advice applicable to any specific situation.

No decision should be taken solely on the basis of the information provided here, without appropriate professional advice. Consulting the Website or sending a message through the available forms does not in itself create any service relationship between you and Atlantic Advisory, which arises only upon express written acceptance of a proposal or agreement.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under mandatory law, in particular in cases of wilful misconduct or gross negligence, or towards consumers.

7.Third-party links

The Website may contain links to third-party websites, provided solely for your convenience. We do not control and accept no responsibility for their content, policies or practices. The presence of a link does not imply any association, sponsorship or endorsement. Linking to the Website is permitted provided it does not misleadingly suggest a relationship that does not exist and does not reproduce our content outside its context.
