Provisions applying to community services

Any User wishing to access the community services can do so via the Application or the Site, after logging in using his username and password or via a Facebook Connect. A password will be sent by e-mail to the address provided by the User when he opens his account, or if he forgets his password.
- Content published by Users
A User will have sole responsibility for his identifiers, password and username. Accordingly, he undertakes not to choose an identifier or username that is illegal or infringes any third party’s rights or that could be considered insulting, racist, hateful or of a paedophilic or sexual nature.
Moreover, the User undertakes to respect all third parties’ rights and, more generally, the law. The User undertakes in particular:
– to act loyally;
– to determine his own privacy settings;
– to provide information that is truthful, accurate and up-to-date;
– not to make any remarks or circulate any content on the community services in any form whatsoever that may infringe the rights of any other party or that may be contrary to accepted principles of morality or public order or be in any other way inappropriate, indecent, offensive or unseemly, obscene, slanderous, insulting, pornographic, violent, racist, xenophobic, revisionist, discriminatory, etc., or that might infringe the privacy or rights of any person whomsoever;

- Moderation and management of community services
The Company has no contractual obligation to check the identity of the Users or the accuracy of the content they publish under their sole responsibility, or to moderate said content. However, the usernames and the advertisements and content published by Users may be moderated after posting and, as a result, be deleted if they do not comply with these General Terms and Conditions or, more generally, with the law.
Moreover, the Company may need to moderate the content published and the messages exchanged to ensure that remarks that do not comply herewith or with the applicable legislation are not posted on the Site. The Service may appoint an individual to manage the Service and provide guidance, in order to ensure that the Service remains User-friendly at all times, to help Users to use the Site, and to ensure its continued use. Users are therefore informed that they may receive messages from individuals appointed to moderate and manage the Service.
The User waives all right of recourse against the Company, in particular on the basis of any infringement of his image rights, integrity, reputation or privacy as a result of the circulation or disclosure of information concerning the said User.
The Company cannot be held liable for the accuracy or inaccuracy of any information and content provided by other Users, Site visitors and/or the User personally, or for the consequences thereof. Likewise, the Company cannot be held liable for any content posted by a User that may infringe the rights of one or more other Users or any third party, when the Company can produce proof that it was not informed thereof by a User or a third party, did not have prior knowledge thereof, or that no wrongdoing can be attributed to it in the performance of its contractual obligations.
Provisions applying to the viewing or downloading of videos on demand, streaming and/or series
The User will select the product (game, film, series, video clip, digital entertainment product, etc.) he wishes to download from the range of products proposed by the Company via the Application or the Site, after logging in using his username and password or via Facebook Connect. A password will be sent by e-mail to the address provided by the User when he opens his account, or if he forgets his password.
After selecting the product, the User will be required to follow the instructions and comply with the Company’s requests for information and, if a product is offered in an Application for a price, the store’s instructions and requests for information. The delivery times will be as stipulated below.
Products will be delivered electronically via Internet or the telecommunications operator’s network. The User will download or view the selected products directly on his Terminal; downloading or viewing will be immediate, provided however that the Internet network and the User’s equipment connected to the Internet are operating correctly.
The Company cannot be held liable under any circumstances for any failure to correctly receive the product, in particular if these terms and conditions have not been complied with, as it has no control over the Internet or the User’s computer and telephone installations. The User has a duty to verify the content of the product upon receipt.
Use by minors or at work
Users must be of legal age to download Applications. The Company shall not be liable for downloads by Users who violate this rule.
Therefore, minors must obtain their parents’ permission (or the permission of their legal guardians) before downloading or ordering the Applications offered on the Site(s).
Users must request authorisation from their employer or supervisor if the Site(s) are used at their workplace.
Exclusion of liability
The Company offers no express or implied warranty, and assumes no liability, with respect to the use of the Site and/or the Application.
Neither the Company nor any third party involved in the creation of the Application or Site shall in any event be liable or owe any compensation to a User or any other party for direct, indirect, consequential, special or ancillary losses incurred due to the use of the Application or Site, or any other site linked by a hyperlink, in particular loss of profits, losses due to business interruption or losses due to loss of programs or other data from the User’s management information system or anywhere else. The User’s connection to any other external site shall be at his/her own risk.
The Site and/or the Application may contain images of and links to sites managed by third parties (‘Third-Party Sites’). The Company has no control over Third-Party Sites and assumes no liability with respect to their content. In particular, the Company assumes no liability for the content of links displayed on Third-Party Sites or for modifications or updates to Third-Party Sites. The Company shall not be liable for any material distributed over the internet or using any other form of transmission that is received from a Third-Party Site, or for a malfunction of Third-Party Sites. The Company provides such links for the User’s convenience only, and the inclusion of a link does not mean that the Company approves the content of such Third-Party Sites or that there is any association between the Company and the operators of said sites. Users are responsible for reviewing any privacy policy posted on Third-Party Sites, as well as their terms and conditions of use, and for complying therewith.
The Company endeavours to deliver the Services as quickly as possible. However, the Company must use the services and distribution networks of third-party companies, over which it has no influence with respect to availability. Accordingly, the Company shall not be liable in the event the User experiences delays in accessing the Services, or in the event of a temporary or permanent interruption in data transmission to the User’s Terminal if such interruption is not attributable to the Company. The Company reserves the right to temporarily suspend access to the Services for Site maintenance and repairs.
Use of the Services requires use of certain technical systems, such as a Terminal, computer programs, means of transmission, telecommunication services and other services of third-party companies, which may entail additional costs. Such costs shall be borne by the User. The Company does not supply any of these technical systems and shall in no event be liable therefor.
