c. France
The France Site is issued by Natixis Investment Managers International, a société anonyme formed under French law, authorized and regulated by the French Autorité des Marchés Financiers (the “AMF”) as a Management Company under No. GP 90-009. Natixis Investment Managers International is registered in the Paris Trade and Companies Registry under No. 329 450 738. Natixis Investment Managers International’s registered office is located at 43, avenue Pierre Mendés – France – 75013 Paris. Natixis Investment Managers International is a subsidiary of the privately held French bank holding company Natixis Investment Managers S.A. The France site may include information provided by other Natixis Investment Managers entities as well; however, each entity is solely responsible for the information it provides to the France site. All photographs on the France site are the property of Natixis Investment Managers or their authors and are used with permission.
If you only access the France Site for non-professional purposes, the liability provisions of Article 7 below do not apply to you; instead, such provisions are superseded and replaced by the following: Neither we nor any of our affiliates nor their respective officers, directors, trustees, employees and agents, will be liable to you for any loss or damage whatsoever and however it arises as a result from your own misconduct, negligence or fraudulent misrepresentation. Similarly, we shall assume no liability for any loss or damage whatsoever and however it arises as a result from any third party’s action or from a force majeure event, as defined by applicable French law and precedents.
If you only access the France Site for non-professional purposes, the governing law provisions of Article 10 below do not apply to you; instead, such provisions are superseded and replaced by the following: Although these Terms of Use are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (except for conflict of law provisions), you will benefit from any mandatory provisions of French Law. Nothing in these Terms of Use affects your right as a French consumer to rely on any mandatory provision of French consumer laws. In such case, any claim related to any dispute arising as a result of the France site may be brought before the competent courts of France. If any provision of these Terms of Use is held to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable, then that provision will be deemed severable from these Terms of Use and this will not impair, limit or affect the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions.
If you access the France site for business purposes, Article 7 and Article 10 of the present Terms of Use, respectively, will continue to apply to your use of the France site.
The France Site is limited to funds and sub-funds (and related information and documents) which have been authorised for sale in France by the AMF. European fund regulations have established a set of common rules in order to permit the cross border marketing of collective investment schemes complying with such regulations. This common foundation did not prohibit different methods of implementation. This is why a European collective investment scheme may be marketed in France even though the activity of such scheme would not respect rules identical to those which are required for the approval of this type of product in France.
