What this site is
AffectionPlus is a general-information site covering sexuality, health, relationships, astrology, marriage, names and law. It is freely readable, with no registration and no account.
Information, not professional advice
Health and legal content is provided for information only. It does not replace advice from a doctor, a solicitor or a notary, who alone can assess an individual situation. Law and clinical guidance change: always check a current official source before acting. Links to those sources appear at the foot of each page.

Terms of use
- Access and use are permitted for private, non-commercial purposes.
- Reproducing, republishing or distributing all or part of the site on another medium, including by automated extraction, is prohibited without prior permission.
- Text, illustrations and layout are protected by copyright.
- The service may be briefly interrupted for maintenance or updates.
Links to other sites
Pages link to official and reference sources chosen so that published information can be verified. We have no control over those sites and cannot guarantee their availability or the accuracy of their content. If a link is dead or seems inappropriate, please tell us.
Personal data
The site can be read without registering and collects no personal data: there is no account, no form and no profile. No advertising cookie and no analytics tracker is set.
Two honest caveats: the footer of the French pages loads an icon library from a third-party content delivery network, which transmits your IP address to that provider as any remote request does; and the host keeps technical connection logs, under the conditions and for the periods set by regulation.
You have rights of access, rectification, erasure and objection over data concerning you. To exercise them, write to the address above. You may also complain to the data protection authority in your country.
Reporting an error
This site covers subjects where wrong information can have real consequences. If you spot an error, an outdated rule or a number that no longer works, write to webmaster@affection.org quoting the page address. Corrections take priority over new content.
Reaching us
Every request — questions, corrections, suggestions, commercial proposals, press, personal data, reports — goes through the Contact us page, at webmaster@affection.org.

Terms of sale (dossier shop)
Seller
The shop is operated by CAPIT, the company identified under “Publisher” above. These terms of sale govern every purchase of dossiers on AffectionPlus.com and supplement the general terms above. Placing an order means accepting them.
Products
The documentary research dossiers cover health and law; each one cites its sources. They are supplied as a downloadable digital file (PDF), one at a time, or through an “all access” subscription that opens every dossier published during its term. They are information summaries: they do not replace a doctor, a lawyer or a notary (see “Information, not professional advice”).
Prices and VAT
Prices are in euros, all taxes included, and shown before payment. VAT is calculated from your billing country. If you buy as a business, you can enter your VAT number on the payment page. The price that applies is the one shown when you order; a later price change does not affect purchases already made.
Ordering
You need an AffectionPlus account (email address and code received) to buy, so that your purchases can be found again. You choose a dossier or the subscription, tick the box requesting immediate supply and waiving withdrawal, and are redirected to Stripe's secure payment page. The sale is concluded when payment is confirmed. An invoice is issued for every purchase; it is available from the shop under “Manage my subscription and invoices”. The data processed for your purchase is described in the privacy policy.
Payment
Payment is processed by Stripe Payments Europe, Ltd. (Ireland), by card or by the other methods offered on the payment page, with strong authentication (3-D Secure) where required. We neither receive nor keep your card number. The amount is charged when you order.
Supply
The dossier is supplied immediately: as soon as Stripe confirms payment (usually within seconds, sometimes a few minutes), the “Download (PDF)” button appears in the shop, signed in to your account. You can download it again from your account for as long as the account exists; please keep a copy anyway.
Right of withdrawal
A consumer normally has 14 days to withdraw from a distance purchase (art. L221-18 of the French Consumer Code). That right does not apply to digital content not supplied on a physical medium where performance has begun with the consumer's prior express consent and express waiver of the right (art. L221-28, 13°): this is the box you tick before paying. Once supply has begun you can therefore no longer withdraw; while it has not begun, write to us at webmaster@affection.org. This right does not apply to businesses.
Subscription
The subscription is paid in advance for the chosen period and renews automatically at each due date until cancelled. You can cancel at any time, online and without giving a reason, under “Manage my subscription and invoices”: cancellation takes effect at the end of the period already paid, no further payment is taken and access stays open until then. The period already started is not refunded, unless the law provides otherwise. If a payment fails, Stripe retries it; access may be suspended if the payment remains unpaid.
Legal guarantees
You benefit from the legal guarantee of conformity of digital content (art. L224-25-1 et seq. of the French Consumer Code) and from the guarantee against hidden defects (art. 1641 et seq. of the French Civil Code). If a file is unreadable, incomplete or does not match its description, write to us: we will correct it, replace it or, failing that, refund it.
Use of the dossiers
The dossiers are protected by copyright. The purchase gives a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable right of use: you may read, print and keep them for yourself. Reselling, sharing, publishing or making them available to a third party is forbidden.
Complaints and mediation
For any complaint, first write to webmaster@affection.org. If no amicable solution is found, consumers may use a consumer mediator free of charge (art. L611-1 et seq. of the French Consumer Code). The applicable law and courts are given under “Governing law”.
Special terms of sale (“Accounts to follow” directory)
Seller and purpose
The directory is operated by CAPIT, the company identified under “Publisher” above. These terms govern the subscription to the “Accounts to follow” directory and supplement the general terms above. The service: a social media account shown at the top of the chosen page’s list, and its posts read every day, those that are relevant and comply with the site’s rules being shown on the site and in the app, at most one per day and per page, with no minimum.
Plans and prices
One page: €3 per month. Five pages: €5 per month. Ten pages: €8 per month. Fifteen pages: €10 per month. Twenty pages: €12 per month. Prices include tax. A slot is one social media account on one page; slots may be shared freely among your accounts, 20 at most.
Instead of a social media profile, you can propose a website: it appears in a “See also” section at the end of the page, at the same price, with no posts shown.
No more ads on the site, when you are signed in to your account.
Payment, adding a link and answer
You pay first, with no prior check: from payment, no more ads when you are signed in, and the right to add as many links as the plan has slots. Each link (profile or website) must target a page in one of the account’s languages, and its content must have a relation, even a distant one, with that page. We answer within minutes: OK or a request for justification; after justification: OK or refusal. After a refusal, a new request is possible one day later; billing does not change and the slot stays free.
Term and cancellation
The subscription is monthly, with no commitment, and renews automatically each month. You can cancel at any time: on the site, from your customer area; in the app, from Settings > Subscriptions. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the paid month; the pages stay displayed until then.
Changing plan
Upward: immediate, the difference being charged pro rata. Downward: the following month, with no refund. A smaller plan is possible only if you have already removed the pages that exceed it.
Removal of a page or an account
Every day we look only for offences: illegal content, health or legal misinformation, hatred or harassment, misleading advertising, explicit sexual content, endangering minors, scams, impersonation, spam. An account in breach is removed from all its pages and renewal is stopped; you are told by email and have one appeal; new request possible after 90 days. Second such removal within 12 months, fraud, identity theft or illegal content: final refusal. Account not found for 7 days in a row: pages removed, slots freed.
Refunds
A refused link gives no right to a refund. No refund after payment, unless a new subscriber’s account becomes untraceable within 14 days of the first payment: the subscription is then cancelled and the invoice refunded. Any other request: write to webmaster@affection.org.
Right of withdrawal
A consumer normally has 14 days to withdraw from a distance purchase. By ticking the box at payment, you request immediate performance of the service and expressly waive this right once it has begun (art. L221-25 and L221-28, 13° of the French Consumer Code).
Purchase in the app
A subscription taken in the iPhone app is billed by Apple: it is managed in Settings > Subscriptions and refunds are decided by Apple (reportaproblem.apple.com). One subscription per AffectionPlus account; to change channel, cancel one, wait for the end of the period, then take the other.
Subscriber accounts
Paid accounts and their featured posts carry the “Subscriber” label, and links to them are marked as sponsored: they are advertising.
Complaints and mediation
For any complaint, first write to webmaster@affection.org. If no amicable solution is found, consumers may use a consumer mediator free of charge (art. L611-1 et seq. of the French Consumer Code). Your data: see the Privacy page.
Governing law
These terms are governed by French law. In the event of a dispute, and failing an amicable settlement, the competent courts are those of the publisher's registered office, subject to the mandatory rules applicable to consumers.
