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 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:
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.
Intellectual property rights
The Company offers Applications that it produces itself, as well as Applications licensed from third-party companies, which are protected by intellectual property rights.
Consequently, Applications downloaded are for Users’ personal use only. No reproduction, modification, transmission, sale or sub-license is authorised.
The figurative or other trademarks (hereinafter referred to collectively as the ‘trademarks’) displayed in the Applications or on the Sites, or in any newsletter, are registered or unregistered trademarks owned by the Company and third parties. Reference to trademarks in these Applications or on these Sites shall in no event be deemed an express or implied granting of any right of use, licence or authorisation with respect to said trademarks, without the written agreement of the Company or relevant third party. Any use of the trademarks referred to in the Applications or on the Sites, or the content thereof, that is not expressly authorised by the trademark holders, other than as granted under these General Terms and Conditions, is strictly forbidden. The Company hereby advises Users that it is entitled to take legal action, including before the criminal courts, to protect its intellectual property rights.
All rights of authors, composers, music publishers and all holders of neighbouring rights in the works reproduced and distributed in these Applications and/or on these Sites are reserved. Any use of said works other than as described in these General Terms and Conditions is forbidden.

• not to use an e-mail address that infringes the rights of third parties and, more specifically, the laws on names, trademark rights, copyright or neighbouring rights or, more broadly, that is in breach of the laws in force, public policy or good morals. Otherwise, the Company reserves the right to refuse any names, terms, expressions, etc. that may be contrary to these principles, without having to state a reason therefor.
The user may decide to allow other users of the Services to view certain of his/her Personal Data. In such case, the user is recommended to provide only Personal Data that he/she is comfortable sharing, and we strongly advise users not to provide information that can be used to contact them.

We reserve the right to monitor your account and files in order to verify any complaint or allegation of wrongful use, violation of the rights of third parties or any other unauthorised use of the Site.
4. Sharing of Personal Data with third parties
Provided the user’s consent is obtained, the user’s Personal Data may be the subject of a data leasing contract between the Company and selected trusted commercial partners and/or the companies of the Digital Virgo Group. The commercial partners and/or the companies of the Digital Virgo Group may use Personal Data to offer the user content that may be of interest to him/her. Without the user’s consent, they may not share or sell your personal information to or with any party.
The user is hereby informed that the Company may provide Personal Data to:
- its technical service providers (i) for the purpose of hosting said Personal Data and to register and maintain accounts, (ii) to assist in providing the Services and (iii) to manage the customer relationship.

However, we may make a connection between IP addresses and Personal Data (such as a user’s country) and/or non-personal data (such as use records or the place from which a user accesses the Site) to ensure compliance with our General Terms and Conditions of Use or other user contracts and, if necessary, to prevent certain IP addresses from accessing all or part of the Site in the event of wrongful use by the corresponding user.

In accordance with the laws in force, the user has a right to access, correct, delete and oppose the processing of his/her Personal Data.

In order to be able to comply with his/her request, and in accordance with the laws in force, the user must include with his/her request a copy of any official identity document showing his/her first name, surname and date and place of birth and proving his/her identity. The user is required to update his/her identification information in the event his/her situation changes.

7. Data transfers outside the European Union
Data is transferred to recipients located outside the European Union for the purpose of managing (i) the provision of products and/or services and (ii) the customer relationship.
The Company has reported such data transfers outside the European Union to the French National Data Protection Authority, and such data transfers are governed by the standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission.
8. Protection of your Personal Data
The Company applies all standard industry practices and implements strict security procedures to prevent any unauthorised access and comply with applicable Personal Data protection laws.
However, information transfers over the telecommunications networks are not entirely secure and, therefore, you acknowledge and accept that third parties may intercept the Personal Data you provide us, and that such transfers are at your own risk. After we receive your Personal Data, we will use strict security procedures and systems to endeavour to prevent any unauthorised access.
All personal information provided is stored on the secure servers of the Company or its technical service provider.
The secure servers encode all Personal Data that are input before they are sent to the Company. The servers of our technical service provider are located in the European Union. The purpose of the password that enables the user to log on to his/her account and use certain Services is to protect his/her Personal Data. The user must keep this password confidential and must never share or disclose his/her password to anyone.
The user is responsible for any use of the Sites and associated Services by any person who uses his/her account user name and password. The user must contact the Company immediately if he/she has reason to believe that his/her account user name and password have been misappropriated. As a security precaution, the user is advised to close his/her account at the end of each session.
You may at any time review and change the Personal Data we hold about you on the Site, or by contacting us by e-mail or by post.
