Any disputes arising from these T&Cs, including their validity, interpretation, execution, termination, consequences, and aftermath, shall be submitted to the French courts. Any legal action related to the T&Cs is time-barred after one year.

The fact that So Sponge does not exercise, on one or more occasions, the rights, options, claims, or actions granted by the T&Cs shall not be interpreted as a waiver of its right to do so.

If any provision of the T&Cs is deemed invalid under applicable law or a final court decision, it shall be deemed unwritten, without invalidating the other clauses or affecting their validity.
