5.1. Data collected 

In order to allow any User to take full advantage of the Services and features of the Site, the Company collects various data. It is recalled that by registering on the Site, the User expressly accepts that this data is collected, regardless of the country from which he connects.

  • Log files and Internet Protocol (IP) address: The Company receives, each time the User connects to the Site, the link to the site from which the User arrived and the one to which he or she is going when he or she leaves the Site.

  • Cookies: The Company uses cookies which can be defined as text files that can be saved in a terminal when consulting an online service with browser software. A cookie file allows its issuer, during its period of validity not exceeding 12 months, to recognize the terminal concerned each time that terminal accesses digital content containing cookies from the same issuer. It is nevertheless possible to deactivate the use of cookies by modifying the User's preferences in their internet browser. In this case, certain features of the Site may no longer work.

5.2. Retention of collected data 

Personal data is stored by the Company on its servers, for processing in the context of the use of the Services. It is kept for as long as necessary for the provision of the Services and functions offered by the Site. Consequently, as long as a User has a member account, the data collected will be kept. In the event of unsubscription from the Site or in the event of inactivity of the User's member account for a period of 3 years, the data collected will be deleted by the Company and only kept as an archive for the purpose of establishing proof of a right or contract that may be archived in accordance with the provisions of the French Commercial Code relating to the retention period of books and documents created during commercial activities and the French Consumer Code relating to the retention of contracts concluded electronically. 

The User always remains the owner of the information concerning him that he transmits to the Company. In accordance with Law No. 78-17 of January 6, 1978 amended by Law No. 2018-493 of June 20, 2018, he has a right of access, rectification and deletion of personal data concerning him, as well as the right to oppose the communication of this data to third parties for just reasons.  

The User may exercise his rights by writing to the following email address: [email protected] or at the following postal address: 16 rue Cuvier 69006 Lyon. 

A response to the User's request will be sent to him/her within 2 working days.

However, in various cases, the Company may disclose or share a User's personal data with any other third parties, including: 

  • with the User's consent;
  • to comply with applicable law, regulations, legal proceedings, court orders or other mandatory disclosure requirements; or
  • to protect the rights, property or safety of the Site, its members or the public.

Article 6 – Liability 

6.1. Use of the Site  

The role of the Company is limited to the technical provision of the Services to Users.  

The User is solely responsible for the consequences of using the Site.  

The User is required to ensure that his use of the Site complies with the legal and regulatory provisions as well as the General Conditions. The Company gives no guarantee to the User as to the conformity of the use of the Site, which he makes or plans to make, with the national or international legal and regulatory provisions. 

The User is warned of technical hazards and interruptions of access that may occur on the Site. Consequently, the Company cannot be held responsible for the unavailability or slowdowns of the Services.  

All information, advice and guides and any other data displayed on the Site are not intended to constitute advice on the basis of which a decision could be taken by the User.  

The User must not in any case consider as acquired the said information and data of the Site but must independently verify all such information and data. The Company cannot therefore be held responsible for the consequences of the use of the data and information displayed on the Site.  

6.2. Data  

The Company has no general obligation to monitor data and content imported by Users, nor any obligation to delete content that does not appear to be manifestly illicit, notwithstanding its reporting.  

The User undertakes not to enter content likely to undermine public order or morality, to provoke protests from third parties, or to contravene the legal provisions in force. 

Consequently, it is expressly agreed that in the event that the Company is sued, in any capacity whatsoever, in any country whatsoever, by a third party on the basis in particular of an industrial and/or intellectual property right relating to an element provided by a User, this User undertakes to fully guarantee the Company against the direct and/or indirect economic and financial consequences (including procedural and defense costs) which may arise from these claims. 

It is recalled that the data published by Users and the information shared by them may be captured and used by other Users or third parties. In this sense, the Company does not guarantee respect for the ownership of this data; it is the User's responsibility to take all necessary measures to preserve the ownership of their data.  

The User must ensure that the data is sent to the Site and may not blame the Company on any grounds and for any reason whatsoever for the non-receipt or loss of the data transmitted. The User will then ensure that a backup of the data transmitted is kept.  

6.3. General provisions 

In any event, the Company may not under any circumstances be held liable for indirect or unforeseeable losses or damages suffered by Users or third parties, which includes in particular any lost profits, inaccuracy or corruption of files or data or loss of opportunity linked in any way and on any basis whatsoever to this Contract. 

The Company shall not be liable for any delay or non-performance of this Contract justified by a case of force majeure, as defined by the case law of French courts and tribunals. 

Article 7 – Termination – Modification of Services 

The User may terminate this Agreement at any time by visiting the Site and following the procedure provided for this purpose. It is recalled that once a User's member account is closed, the data transmitted and all data generated will be destroyed by the Company. 

The Company reserves the right to restrict, suspend or delete, without notice or refund, the account of any User who uses the Services abusively or inappropriately. The assessment of the User's behavior is reserved to the Company's sole discretion.  

The Company is free to terminate or modify the terms of Services at any time. The Services offered free of charge shall not give rise to any obligation on the part of the Company. 

Article 8 – Proof agreement 

The computer systems and files are authentic in the relations between the Company and the User.  

Thus, the Company may validly produce in the context of any procedure, for the purposes of proof, data, files, programs, recordings or other elements, received, issued or stored by means of the computer systems operated by the Company, on all digital or analog media, and rely on them except in the event of manifest error. 

Article 9 – Miscellaneous provisions 

9.1. Indivisibility of the Contract 

The fact that any provision of the Agreement is or becomes illegal or unenforceable will not in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions of the Agreement. 

9.2. Modification of the Contract 

The Company reserves the right to modify, supplement or replace these Conditions. In the event of the User's refusal of the new provisions, it is recalled that the User may at any time, in accordance with Article 7 (Termination), terminate this Agreement. 

Article 10 – Dispute Resolution 

The conclusion, interpretation and validity of this Agreement are governed by French law, regardless of the User's country of origin or the country from which the User accesses the Site and notwithstanding the principles of conflicts of laws.  

In the event that a dispute concerning the validity, execution or interpretation of this Contract is brought before the civil courts, it will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the French courts to which jurisdiction is expressly attributed, even in the event of summary proceedings or multiple defendants. 

The User is informed that he may in any event resort to conventional mediation or any alternative dispute resolution method (conciliation for example) in the event of a dispute. 

In any event, the User may contact the Company, free of charge, at the following email address: [email protected] or by phone (cost of a local call): .
