1. Scope

These general terms of use (hereinafter “GTU”) apply to any individual (“User”) who browses or uses the Site.

Access to the Site and its use are governed by these GTU. The GTU govern the contractual relationship between Accor and any User.

 

The GTU can be viewed directly on the Site at any time. The User can save and edit these GTU using the standard functionalities of his/her browser or computer.

The User acknowledges that (s)he has read and agreed to these GTU.

2. Purpose

Accor is a global leader in augmented hospitality which offers unique and unmatched experiences at nearly 4,800 hotels, hotel complexes and private residences in 100 countries. Through an unparalleled portfolio of brands ranging from luxury to economy, the group has been providing all of its hospitality expertise for more than 50 years.

To meet the procurement needs of the establishments operated under its brands, Accor runs a central listing agency (“Central Listing Agency”) which independent establishments or third-party entities can also decide to join if they wish.

The Site offers to inform the User about the 6 categories of Products and Services offered by Suppliers who are affiliated with the Central Listing Agency:

1. Food and Beverages
2. Energy
3. IT and Guest Technologies
4. Operating Supplies and Equipment
5. Furniture, Design and Equipment
6. Works and Maintenance

 

Any User who wishes to do so can contact Accor, as specified in article 4 below, in order to become a Client and, as such:  

• access the Directory of Suppliers through his/her Personal Account;
• access, on the site www.astoreshop.com, offers of Suppliers’ Products and/or Services on the commercial terms negotiated by Accor with Suppliers.

 

4. PROCEDURE FOR CREATING A PERSONAL ACCOUNT

To be able to access the Directory of Suppliers and obtain details of Products and Services offered by Suppliers, the User must create a Personal Account. To do this, the User must contact Accor through the contact email address that is available on the Site or by telephone on +33 1 61 61 60 60.

For a Personal Account to be opened, a Standard-Form Contract must be signed by Accor and the User, unless the User is already a client of the Central Listing Agency, in which case Accor shall provide him/her with a login and a password with which to log into his/her Personal Account. Failing this, Accor shall send the Standard-Form Contract to the User by any means, including by email.

Once Accor has received the signed Standard-Form Contract, Accor will send a login and a password enabling the Client to log into his/her Personal Account to the Client at the email address provided by the Client.

The Client acknowledges that the login and the password for the Personal Account are personal and strictly confidential. The Client shall be solely responsible for keeping them and for their use.

In this regard, the Client guarantees to Accor that the information that (s)he shall provide in the registration form or otherwise state to Accor shall be accurate and complete. Accor cannot be held liable if errors or incomplete information have been entered or stated by the Client and if Accor is consequently unable to offer the Client a Personal Account.

As such, the Client:

• undertakes to reserve sole use of them for himself/herself.
• acknowledges that:

• any act carried out on the Site with the login and the password shall be deemed to have been carried out by the Client, and the Client shall be responsible for any consequences if the User’s Login and Password are stolen
• (s)he shall be solely responsible for consequences which may result from communicating his/her Login and Password to third parties

• undertakes to inform Accor immediately if his/her login and/or password is/are used without authorisation, lost or forgotten, and more generally, if (s)he becomes aware of any breaches of the Site’s security.

 

5. PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

5.1 General provisions

Accor does not sell the Products and/or Services that are presented on the Site. The Site merely makes a catalogue of Products and/or Services offered by Suppliers available to Users.

Any Client who wishes to order Products and/or Services from a Supplier must contact the Supplier directly, using the information provided in the Directory of Suppliers among other things.  

The Client acknowledges and accepts that the terms of sale, including the arrangements for ordering, billing and payment, delivery of Products and/or Services, guarantees and after-sales service, that are applicable to the Client shall be established by the Supplier. Some of this information shall be available for the Client to view in the Directory of Suppliers.

Consequently, Accor cannot be deemed to be a party to purchase contracts entered into between the Client and Suppliers. Accor cannot be regarded at any time as the Client’s supplier, and the Client shall be solely responsible for fulfilling his/her undertakings to Suppliers.
