The Limoux Collection Website Terms

These terms explain how readers and businesses may use TLC. Purchases require separate terms. Complete every bracketed field before publication.

1 Who we are

The Limoux Collection (TLC) is operated by Whitmarsh Imports Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales under number 12734672, with its registered office and correspondence address at 52 Rupert Street, London W1D 6DS, United Kingdom. Our contact email is admin@whitmarshimports.com and telephone +44 7498 627201. Our VAT number is GB 489 4457 29. The website Legal Notice identifies the publication director, host and any relevant French establishment. “We”, “us” and “our” refer to that company.

2 Scope and acceptance

These terms govern use of limouxcollection.com and TLC services linked to these terms, including the magazine, directory, calendar, galleries, Trade Limoux and Invest Limoux. They apply to public readers, consumers and business users. Read them before using interactive features; account registration and purchases require clear acceptance where appropriate. Merely browsing does not create a paid contract. Keep a copy of the terms relevant to any order.

3 Related policies and purchases

Our Privacy Notice explains personal data use; our Cookie Notice explains cookies and choices. They do not constitute consent to tracking or marketing. Event bookings, advertising, paid listings, subscriptions and wine transactions require separate terms shown before agreement. Transaction terms take priority for that transaction, subject always to mandatory rights. The seller, organiser or service provider must be identified before payment. TLC is not automatically the seller of a product featured in an article or linked listing.

4 Readers and age restrictions

The magazine is open to the public. Trade services may require approval and evidence of business status. Purchases of alcohol and attendance at events involving alcohol require participants to be at least 18; appropriate checks may be required. A general readership account is not proof of age. Event pages must explain any additional eligibility requirements. We do not promote alcohol to children.

5 Accounts and access codes

Give accurate information and protect personal passwords and booking codes. Share an expressly designated guest access password only within the permission given. Do not share personal account credentials or bypass approval. Notify us promptly of suspected misuse. We may restrict access proportionately for security or material breach, explain the reason and provide a way to challenge the decision unless prohibited by law or urgent security needs. Access restrictions do not automatically cancel refund or other contractual rights.

6 Editorial information and recommendations

We take reasonable care with editorial content, but prices, opening hours, availability and event details may change. Check current details with the named provider before travelling or purchasing. Articles, interviews and opinions are general information, not individual legal, tax, medical or investment advice. Recommendations are editorial judgments, not guarantees of another provider’s performance. Contact us about factual errors; we will assess corrections and any applicable right of reply.

7 Events and booking information

A diary entry is an announcement, not a confirmed reservation. Before payment, the booking page and separate booking terms must identify the contracting organiser, dates, venue, total price and taxes, inclusions, cancellation rules and applicable withdrawal rights. French events delivered in France will use dedicated booking terms governed by French law, subject to mandatory protections. Fixed-date catering or leisure bookings may be exempt from a statutory cooling-off period; this must be explained before purchase. Do not assume every language course is exempt merely because it has scheduled dates.

8 Event codes and participant privacy

Where offered, a booking code gives access to the confirmed programme and permitted participant information. It is not transferable unless the booking terms allow it. Names, profiles and proficiency levels will be visible to other participants only on an appropriate lawful basis explained in the Privacy Notice, with a genuine choice for optional sharing. Contact details, payment details and dietary or health information are not made public. Organisers receive only information necessary for the booking and event.

9 Advertising and commercial relationships

Paid advertisements, sponsored features, paid listings and affiliate links will be clearly identified. A commercial relationship does not guarantee favourable editorial treatment. Advertisers must supply accurate claims and properly licensed material and comply with applicable UK and French advertising rules. We may refuse or remove unlawful or misleading material. Charges, placement, duration, artwork approval, reporting and cancellation are governed by the advertising order, not an implied promise of sales or traffic.

10 Wine content and alcohol advertising

Editorial wine coverage and commercial wine promotion must be assessed separately under applicable law. Advertising directed at France must comply with French alcohol advertising restrictions, including permitted content, placement and required health warnings. It must not be aimed primarily at young people or use prohibited intrusive or interstitial formats. Where required, display: “L’abus d’alcool est dangereux pour la santé.” An age gate or these terms cannot cure an unlawful advertisement. Drink responsibly.

11 Trade Limoux and Invest Limoux

Trade approval does not by itself create a wine supply, distribution or agency contract. Seller-specific terms must cover prices, duties, VAT, delivery, title and returns. Invest Limoux provides project information only under these website terms. These terms do not authorise investment offers, regulated advice, brokerage, crowdfunding or receipt of investment money. Any future investment service or transaction requires appropriate legal permissions, disclosures and separate agreements. Property and investment involve risk; no return or exit is guaranteed.

12 Copyright and sharing

TLC and its licensors retain their intellectual property rights. You may read, link to and use enabled sharing functions, and download or print reasonable extracts for personal or internal business use with attribution. Do not republish complete articles, remove credits or use images, logos or other material commercially without permission. Statutory quotation, reporting, accessibility and other lawful exceptions remain available. Linking must not falsely suggest sponsorship, approval or partnership; framing requires permission.

13 Automated access and data mining

Do not bypass access controls, overload the site, harvest personal data or scrape and republish our content without permission. We reserve rights against commercial text and data mining and AI training to the extent legally permitted, including Article 4(3) of Directive (EU) 2019/790. This does not restrict legally protected research or other nonexcludable exceptions. Ordinary search engine indexing of public pages is permitted in accordance with our published technical instructions. Restricted pages must not be indexed.

14 Uploads and artwork

You retain ownership of submitted text, photographs, video, logos and artwork. Submit only material you have the right to use, including necessary permissions from identifiable people. You grant TLC a nonexclusive, royalty-free licence to host, reproduce, display and technically adapt the material to provide the feature, listing or campaign you requested. We may resize, compress or crop for the agreed format without materially changing the meaning. Significant creative changes require approval. Separate off-site marketing use requires permission unless expressly agreed in your submission or advertising order. Other users and advertisers receive no general reuse licence.

15 Duration and removal of contributions

The licence lasts for the agreed publication or campaign period, or while an ongoing contribution remains published. Request removal using our contact details. We will consider requests promptly, subject to applicable contractual periods, legal duties and editorial rights. Retention of limited backups, legal records and an agreed editorial archive does not permit new unrelated promotional use. Moral rights and data protection rights remain unaffected. Do not upload confidential material into a public gallery; private booking and account information is not covered by this publication licence.

16 Acceptable use

Use TLC lawfully. Do not post unlawful, defamatory, discriminatory, threatening or infringing content; impersonate others; disclose private information without authority; send spam; introduce malware; attempt unauthorised access; manipulate bookings or analytics; or evade agreed charges by fraud. Legitimate criticism and lawful competition are not prohibited. We may moderate or remove breaches proportionately. User contributions are the contributor’s responsibility and do not necessarily represent our views; this does not exclude our own legal duties.

17 Reporting content and complaints

Report unlawful content, copyright concerns, privacy issues, corrections or complaints to admin@whitmarshimports.com, giving the page link, reasons and relevant evidence. We will assess the report and take appropriate action. If your content or access is restricted, you may request reconsideration through the same contact. We disclose personal information only with a lawful basis and appropriate safeguards, not automatically to a person making an allegation. Applicable statutory notice, appeal and right-of-reply procedures remain available.

18 Availability security and third parties

We take reasonable steps to maintain the site, but cannot promise uninterrupted availability or freedom from all faults. We may change free features or suspend access for maintenance, security or lawful operational reasons, giving reasonable notice where practical. Changes do not remove obligations for paid services. Protect your devices and report security concerns. External links and embedded third-party services are subject to their own terms. We do not control independent providers, but remain responsible for our own representations, contractual commitments and legal duties.

19 Our responsibility

Nothing excludes or limits liability where unlawful, including fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, death or personal injury caused by negligence, or mandatory consumer rights. For consumers, we remain responsible as required by applicable law, including foreseeable loss caused by our breach; we do not impose a blanket exclusion for website use or our own fault. For business users only, to the extent lawful, we exclude indirect or consequential loss and loss of profit, revenue, business opportunity or anticipated savings arising from use of the free website. This does not exclude essential contractual obligations or replace liability provisions in separate paid-service agreements.

20 Changes and transfer

We may update these terms prospectively and display the effective date. Material changes affecting accounts or ongoing services will be notified reasonably in advance where required; consent will be obtained where necessary. Orders remain governed by the agreed version unless a lawful change is agreed. We may transfer the service and contractual obligations only without reducing your rights, giving required notice and obtaining consent where required. If a provision is unenforceable, the remaining terms continue so far as legally possible.

21 Governing law language and disputes

These general website terms are governed by the law of England and Wales. That choice does not displace overriding mandatory laws or any nonwaivable consumer protection applicable to you, including relevant French rules. Consumers may bring proceedings before any court competent under applicable consumer jurisdiction rules; no exclusive English court requirement is imposed on them. For business users, the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction to the extent legally effective. Separate French event contracts use their stated French-law provisions. English and French versions are intended to be equivalent; neither overrides mandatory rights. Contact us first about a dispute. Where French consumer mediation applies, after a prior written complaint you may seek free mediation through [appointed mediator name, postal address and website], subject to its admissibility rules; mediation does not remove your right to go to court.
