As the Service offered by M4Y is based on the use of complex technologies, no commitment of result can be made by M4Y or recognized against it in respect of the provision of the Service, the only commitments of M4Y being made in the context of an obligation of means.

M4Y will use its best endeavours to make the Service available at all times, except in cases of force majeure, events beyond its control and maintenance operations necessary to ensure the proper functioning of the Service.

Without prejudice to the foregoing, the User acknowledges that the Service is provided by M4Y « as is » and without warranty of any kind, either express or implied, including, without limitation, the User’s complete satisfaction.

In particular, the User acknowledges that M4Y shall not be liable to the User if the User believes that the Service and/or Content does not meet the User’s expectations.

Notwithstanding any exemption from liability stipulated elsewhere in these GTC, M4Y cannot be held liable in the following cases:

  • difficulties in accessing the Service due to total or partial non-compliance with an obligation by the User, the use by the User of terminal equipment not adapted to the characteristics of the Service or the Content offered, a failure and/or saturation of the telecommunications networks or due to third parties, and in particular telephone operators,

  • misuse of the Service by the User,
  • damage to the User’s equipment, which is the sole responsibility of the User,
  • infringement by a User of the rights of a third party, including infringement of intellectual property rights and copyright,

In particular, M4Y cannot be held responsible for any interruptions to the Service due to causes which are not directly applicable to it and/or which are beyond its control, for example due to malfunctioning of the telephone network.

In providing the Service, M4Y uses the services and distribution networks of third party companies over which it has no control.

M4Y cannot therefore be held responsible in particular for possible delays in the distribution of Content ordered by the User, for permanent or temporary interruptions in the transmission of data to the User’s Terminal, or for any other service provided by a third party.

The Service may be suspended by M4Y for maintenance purposes for periods generally not exceeding 48 hours, without the Customer being entitled to claim any compensation whatsoever.

M4Y is not responsible for webcasting or any other form of transmission received from any Third Party Website, or for the malfunction of any Third Party Website(s). M4Y provides these links only as a convenience, and the inclusion of any link does not imply endorsement by M4Y of the content of such sites or any association between M4Y and the operators of such websites. Users are responsible for reviewing and complying with any privacy policies posted on Third Party Websites and their terms of use.

M4Y endeavours to deliver ordered products as quickly as possible. However, as M4Y must use the services and distribution networks of third party companies, over which it has no influence in terms of availability, M4Y cannot therefore be held responsible for possible delays in the transfer of products ordered by the User when purchasing a Subscription, nor for any temporary or permanent interruption in the transmission of data to the User’s mobile or fixed terminal if this is not the fault of M4Y. M4Y reserves the right to temporarily suspend access to products for maintenance and repair work on the Website.
