7. Personal data protection
Personal data protection is at the heart of Anatole's concerns. The Parties declare their compliance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR) and applicable national laws.
7.1. Roles of the parties
In connection with the use of the platform:
- The User is the Data Controller for Guest data processed via Anatole. As such, they are responsible for complying with all legal obligations.
- Anatole is the Data Processor within the meaning of Article 28 of the GDPR. Anatole processes Guest data solely on behalf of and on the instructions of the User, for the purpose of providing the service.

In the event of a conflict between a provision of the Terms and a provision of the Agreement regarding the processing of personal data, the provision of the Agreement shall prevail.
8. Right of withdrawal
In accordance with Articles L221-18 et seq. of the French Consumer Code, consumer Users have a 14-day right of withdrawal from the conclusion of the agreement (account creation and/or subscription to a paid offer).
8.1. Exercise of the right of withdrawal
To exercise this right, the User must notify their decision to withdraw by means of an unambiguous statement (for example, email to hello@anatole.wedding or via the contact form).
8.2. Exception for services already started
In accordance with Article L221-28 of the French Consumer Code, the right of withdrawal cannot be exercised if the performance of the Services has begun with the User's express consent and if the User has acknowledged losing their right of withdrawal.
When subscribing to a paid offer, if the User wishes the Services to begin immediately (before the expiration of the 14-day period), they must make an express request and acknowledge that they will then lose their right of withdrawal for services already performed.
8.3. Refund
In the event of valid withdrawal, Anatole will refund the User for all payments received, without undue delay and no later than 14 days from receipt of the withdrawal notification.
9. Term, termination, and modifications

9.2. Termination
Either party may terminate the agreement in the event of a serious breach by the other party of its obligations, not remedied within 30 days after written notice.
In the event of termination, for whatever reason, the User will remain bound to comply with provisions that by their nature survive (liability, data protection, confidentiality).
After account closure, Anatole will proceed with the deletion or return of data in accordance with the GDPR Data Processing Agreement.

In the event of a dispute relating to the validity, interpretation, or performance of these Terms, the Parties will attempt to find an amicable solution. Failing an amicable agreement, and after failure of mediation for consumers, the dispute will be submitted to the competent French courts.
