When using the Services, i.e. when opening an account, writing a comment to an article, or opening a Profile Page, Users must transmit to the Website, in the space reserved for this purpose, the personal details requested of them and undertake to ensure that these details are accurate, correct and complete, and also undertake to transmit to the Website any updates to these details.

If the COMPANY finds that any information provided by a User is incorrect, inaccurate, not up to date or incomplete, the COMPANY may, at its own discretion, without prior notice to the User concerned, delete or render inaccessible all or part of the User's Content within the meaning of these Terms of Use. In no case shall the User be liable to the COMPANY for this.

The COMPANY expressly reserves the use of its Services to Internet users who are at least thirteen years old.

All Users undertake to keep strictly confidential all passwords and identifiers allocated to them by the Site when using the Services.

The User undertakes not to pass on to any third party whatsoever, including those belonging to his family circle, any of his passwords and identifiers and agrees, moreover, to bear all the responsibility that would arise from the use of these passwords and identifiers under conditions identical to those that would prevail if this use were of his own making. The User is also informed that he/she can modify his/her login and password at any time on the Site.

 

3.3. Contributions and Comments

It is understood that the User sends the to Site, his or her Contribution and/or Comment free of charge and that its publication on the Website does not entitle the User to any remuneration, which the User expressly accepts.

The Contribution and/or Comment that the User submits to the Site with the purpose to being published online remains the User's sole and entire property. Without prejudice to the foregoing and in order for the Contribution and/or Comment to be posted on the Site, the User grants the COMPANY the necessary authorizations for the following uses

- The reproduction of the Contribution and/or Comment in whole or in part, its integration and communication to the public on the Site, whether or not accompanied by other texts and/or content, as well as its communication to the public by any means or medium of communication known or unknown at this time.

- The rights of adaptation, for the needs of the exercise of the rights mentioned above.

This transfer is delivered free of charge, for the whole world and for all the duration of the legal protection as from the date of setting on line of the contents on the site.

The Contributions and/or Comments may be published by the COMPANY on any page of the Site.

It is specified that if the COMPANY has the slightest doubt that the User does not necessarily have all the authorizations required for the publication of his Contribution and/or Comment, the COMPANY may ask him for all proofs and suspend this Contribution and/or Comment pending the User's reply.

The COMPANY may reference all or part of the Contributions and/or Comments in order to facilitate the management of storage and access to them. Furthermore, given the interactive nature of the Internet, the User declares that he/she is aware of the fact that his/her Contributions and Comments may be presented in different contexts, associated with other works, be the subject of partial exploitation, and declares that he/she accepts this.

The User is however informed that the storage of Contributions and / or Comments involves the compression and automatic encoding of all or part of the elements of his Contributions and / or Comments, some of its content (including videos) and that these operations may sometimes cause intrinsic degradation of quality. Consequently, the User accepts and assumes full and complete responsibility for this, particularly with regard to all third parties. The COMPANY will nevertheless make every effort to ensure optimal quality of distribution of Contributions and/or Comments.

The User who transmits, distributes, publishes, makes available, shares or otherwise discloses any information whatsoever in the context of a Contribution or a Comment, in whatever form, through or via the Services, guarantees that he or she is entitled to do so, and that the information distributed is not of such a nature as to violate the right to image or privacy of persons as referred to in Article 9 of the Civil Code, violate or disregard the rights of intellectual and / or industrial property whatsoever third parties, are not likely to constitute one of the offenses provided for and punished by the Act of 29 July 1881 on freedom of the press, or are not likely to constitute an infringement of the presumption of innocence referred to in Article 9-1 of the Civil Code. The User is solely responsible for his use of the Service and shall not hold the COMPANY liable for any claims and/or proceedings against him.

 

Accordingly, when the User submits his Contribution and/or Comment, he expressly acknowledges and agrees to the following conditions:

a) that he/she is the owner or holder of the necessary rights and/or authorizations relating to copyright or other intellectual and/or industrial property rights that may be attached to his/her Contribution and/or Comment as well as any audiovisual, musical or other works of art that he/she has incorporated into his/her Contribution and/or Comment. He/she authorizes the COMPANY to use the Contribution and/or Comment and to include it in the Service in accordance with the terms set out in these General Terms of Use.

b) that he/she has the prior written authorization of each natural person identifiable in his/her Contribution and/or Comment to use their name and/or image and/or voice, in particular, for the purposes of dissemination on the Service, for use in accordance with the terms set out in these General Terms of Use. The User declares that he/she has all the necessary authorizations of any kind for the Contribution and/or the Comment.

 

The User further agrees not to distribute, publish, edit, make available, share or otherwise divulge any Contribution or Comment that would be likely to constitute the offences provided for and punishable under Articles 225-4-1 et seq. of the French Criminal Code, in particular with regard to trafficking in human beings, whether minors or adults, pimping and related offences and the use of prostitution of minors. The registered User is also forbidden to fix, record or transmit for broadcasting the image or representation of a minor of a pornographic nature, or to make it available and share it by any means whatsoever.

The User also refrains from distributing, publishing, editing, making available, sharing or otherwise disclosing any Contribution or Comment of a racist, anti-Semitic, abusive, harassing, defamatory nature and, in general, the User undertakes to respect public order and the rights of third parties.

More broadly, the User agrees not to do any of the above acts, also referred to as acts of use hereunder, relating to Comments and Contributions of a pornographic or indecent nature in all cases where minors are likely to have access thereto.

In addition, the User shall refrain from any of the acts referred to above relating to a Comment or Contribution likely to constitute direct or indirect advertising for tobacco, alcohol or any substance whose use or marketing are either restricted or prohibited in France.

In addition, the User is prohibited from all acts defined above relating to a message likely to be qualified as commercial advertising or promotion of products or services, regardless of whether such advertising or promotion is for his benefit or for the benefit of any third party whatsoever.

It is emphasized that all the limitations listed above are applicable regardless of the Service in question, and regardless of the recipients, voluntary or not, of these Comments and Contributions, and regardless of their number and quality.

In the event of failure to comply with the above obligations, the COMPANY reserves the right to suspend at any time the publication of any Contribution and/or any Comment. In the absence of conclusive evidence that the User complies with the provisions of these Terms and Conditions of Use, the COMPANY reserves the right to delete any Contribution or Comment without further notice or formality.

Furthermore, by using any of the Services covered by the General Terms of Use, the User is irrevocably presumed to have accepted that any Comments and Contributions originating from the User may be reproduced by the Website, any other User and Internet users accessing the Website without any time limit and solely for the purposes of creating, managing and administering Services by the Website or using one or more Services or simply consulting the Website.

In accordance with Law No. 78-17 of January 6, 1978, as amended, and the RGPD (General Regulation for Data Protection) in force as of May 25, 2018, the processing of the User's personal data has been the subject of an ordinary declaration to the Commission Nationale de l'Informatique et des Libertés (CNIL).

All Users shall inform the Site without delay of any fact or behavior that appears to them to be of such a nature as to lead to the suspension, disruption or interruption, in whole or in part, of the Services for any length of time, or of any notification sent to them by any third party contesting the compliance of Content with all applicable regulations and, in particular, with the texts referred to in the above-mentioned article entitled "Users' Rights and Obligations".

 

4. Rights and Obligations of the COMPANY

The COMPANY undertakes, within the framework of the activity of the Site, to respect all the provisions which are applicable to it, resulting from the law of January 6, 1978 known as Data processing and Freedoms, modified by the law of August 6, 2004. Each User and each Internet user is informed of his rights in this respect by special notices appearing on the page(s) of the Site through which he consults or uses the Services that are the subject of these General Conditions of Use.

Furthermore, each User is informed that article 6 of the law of June 21, 2004 may oblige the COMPANY to transmit, under the conditions it refers to, all information in its possession concerning the identity of any User.

The COMPANY is entitled to, and shall not be liable for, modifying or discontinuing any or all of the Services, limiting the ability of any User to create or participate in any or all of the Services in order to prevent abuse of the Services, deleting any or all Content, in particular following a request based on article 6 of the law of June 21, 2004, or to make access to this Content impossible, whatever the merits of the request and even in the event of dispute by the User - and even if this deletion or this impossibility of access also prevents the User from accessing his own Content, temporarily or permanently.

The COMPANY shall also be entitled, if it so wishes, spontaneously and without prior request from a third party, to delete or render inaccessible all or part of any Content (including in particular Contributions and Comments), without prior notice or information to the User.

The User is hereby prohibited from taking any action against the COMPANY, regardless of the consequences thereof, and from making any claim against the COMPANY. The User is hereby informed that the services offered by the Website under the present terms and conditions only consist of providing the possibility for any Internet user to participate in one or more Services, but without ever being responsible for all or part of the Contributions and Comments thus generated in this context, nor likely to be held liable in this respect to any third party, any Internet user or any User.

The COMPANY shall not be liable or suffer any consequences as a result of the publication, distribution, disclosure or any other event that expands the circle of recipients or audience of Content (including Contributions and Comments) that the Subscriber had intended to limit, even if such expansion or disclosure is the result of an error or fault on its part.

The COMPANY shall not be liable for and shall not suffer any consequences as a result of any impairment or defect in the Services or in the technical means used, or as a result of the total or partial unavailability of all or part of the Services or access to the Website, irrespective of the duration thereof, or as a result of the modification, deterioration, alteration or loss of any Content.

In particular, the COMPANY may interrupt all or part of the access to the Services, in particular for maintenance and upgrade reasons. Access may also be interrupted for any other reasons, in particular for technical or legal reasons. The COMPANY is not responsible for such interruptions and the consequences thereof for the Users or third parties. In this respect, the COMPANY is not liable for the loss of data and contents.

The User acknowledges and accepts that the COMPANY does not assume or bear any responsibility for the Content and undertakes to indemnify the COMPANY in the manner set out in the article "Rights and Obligations of Users" of these General Terms of Use.

The Services are provided by the COMPANY without any guarantee of duration and the COMPANY expressly reserves the right to discontinue one or more of the Services even without prior notice and without reason. Furthermore, the COMPANY does not provide any guarantee to Users and Internet users as to the accuracy or reliability of the Content and does not make any commitment to provide the Services in an uninterrupted, timely, secure or fully compatible manner with the User's and Internet user's hardware and software.

The COMPANY does not provide Users or Internet users with any services, advice or support, in particular technical support in the use of any of the Services offered by the Site, which are provided "as is" and without any other commitment on the part of the COMPANY than those expressly provided for herein.

In addition, Users are informed and accept that the COMPANY has the faculty to set up, where and when it wishes, any type of commercial advertising in conformity with the applicable regulations on one or other of the Services without this setting up being able to lead to any claim whatsoever on the part of a User.

Regarding the Comments and Contributions, the Site has the ability to moderate a posteriori the objectionable Comments that do not comply with the rules of good behavior contained in these Terms of Use. Any subsistence of objectionable Comments and Contributions shall be brought to the attention of the COMPANY in accordance with the procedure described in Article 6 of Law No. 2004 - 575 of June 21, 2004 for Confidence in the Digital Economy. As the COMPANY does not assume any a priori control over the publication of these Comments, it adopts the status of technical intermediary as defined by the aforementioned Law.

The user acknowledges the limitations of the Internet, in particular with regard to the transmission of data and information via the network and data interference. Therefore, the COMPANY is not liable for technical problems, which are independent of its service, such as communication problems caused by the user's Internet service provider (slowness or interruption). Therefore, the COMPANY does not assume any liability for performance and changes of the services, which may occur due to the quality of the Internet and/or the technical configurations.

The COMPANY and its partners disclaim all warranties, express or implied, in particular regarding the quality and suitability of the services for the User's specific purposes, although the COMPANY will make every effort to maintain the services in an operational state. The COMPANY does not offer any guarantee of non-intrusion.

In the case of liability on the part of the COMPANY, compensation shall only apply to direct, personal and definite damages, excluding, but not limited to, indirect and/or immaterial damages, such as financial, commercial or data loss.

 

5. Miscellaneous provisions

If any part of the Terms of Use is found to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the term or terms in question shall be declared non-existent and the remaining terms shall retain their full force and effect and continue to be enforceable. The term(s) declared non-existent would be replaced by a/the term(s) that most closely approximates the content of the deleted term.

 

6. Applicable law and jurisdiction

The present General Conditions of Use are subject to French law. Any disagreement or dispute that cannot be settled by mutual agreement will be referred to the competent courts in Paris.
