Affiliate Links
As part of its activities, ArtCritic may implement affiliate links with commercial partners. In accordance with Articles L.111.7 and D.111.7 of the French Consumer Code, ArtCritic dedicates this page to informing you about the possible existence of the affiliate links it uses:
1. What is an affiliate link?
It is a hyperlink that you can click on which then redirects you to a partner merchant’s website of ArtCritic.
2. What are the referencing, ranking, and delisting procedures for affiliate content, goods, or services?
ArtCritic does not carry out any such rankings in its affiliate relationships.
3. Is there a contractual relationship between the company to which the link redirects and ArtCritic?
Yes, for the company to benefit from this referral after a “click” on the affiliate link, it must first conclude a contract with ArtCritic.
4. Is there a capital link or remuneration in favor of ArtCritic when I click on this affiliate link?
There is no capital link between ArtCritic and the companies benefiting from affiliate links. However, when you click on this link, ArtCritic receives a financial commission thanks to the identification of an affiliate code embedded in the link. When you make a purchase after clicking on an affiliate link, you pay exactly the same amount as if you had made the same purchase by going directly to the merchant’s website. There may be times when you can benefit from an automatic discount through an affiliate link, but this is not systematic.
5. What are my rights regarding the company to which the affiliate link refers?
If you qualify as a consumer (the consumer is defined by the preliminary article of the French Consumer Code as “(…) any natural person who acts for purposes that do not enter into the framework of his commercial, industrial, artisanal or liberal activities.”), you benefit from all the protective rights of the consumer code when you visit the website of a company benefiting from our affiliate links. The content of Articles L. 221-5 and L. 221-6 of the French Consumer Code regarding the obligation of pre-contractual information must be communicated to you. In any case, no one other than the website where you make the purchase sees your personal information.
6. How can I recognize an affiliate link?
ArtCritic allows you to easily recognize an affiliate link thanks to the following specific icon: . If you see this icon next to the link to click on, it means that it is an affiliate link.
