The User can find out the date of revision of these TCUs by referring to the "Last updated" mention at the top of these TCUs.

3. USER’S CODE OF CONDUCT The Access to the Site, hosted in "Software as a Service" (SaaS) mode, requires that the User has Internet access and computer equipment. All costs incurred by the User to access the Site remain at the User's expense. To access the Site, the User undertakes to use only secure hardware and software, with the help of a computer security suite, and free of viruses, any defects, anomalies, bugs and any malfunction likely to lead to an interruption, malfunction or a decrease in the security of the Site.

The information and materials provided on or through the Site, including all content, data, text, graphics, images, photographs, illustrations, audio and video clips, logos, icons and links (collectively referred to as the "Materials") are the exclusive property of A.S.O. or its licensors or Vendors, and are intended to inform you about the Events and other products and services offered on the Site.
The Site, including all of its software, databases, proprietary information, documentation, content, computer code, ideas, know-how and Materials (and all modifications and derivative works thereof, all intellectual property rights and other rights therein or contained therein), including, but not limited to, selection, compilation, the order, functional richness and arrangement of the elements belongs to A.S.O. and operates it and remains its exclusive property.

A.S.O.'s Trademarks, whether registered or unregistered, may not be used in connection with products or services not proposed by A.S.O., in any manner that is likely to cause confusion among customers or denigrate A.S.O.
5. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
Generally, A.S.O.'s ability to provide services depends on the Internet or a telecommunications network, which is not necessarily fully secure. The Site is hosted by an external service provider, which has undertaken to secure access, consultation, and use of the Data in compliance with the rules of use of the Internet, but A.S.O. cannot guarantee uninterrupted access to the Site, nor the storage or reception of the Site's data. A.S.O. reserves the right to interrupt, temporarily suspend or modify access to all or part of the Site without notice, in order to ensure its maintenance.
Under no circumstances shall A.S.O. be held liable for any interruption of service, for any reason whatsoever, for any malfunction of the network or servers or for any other event beyond reasonable control, which would prevent or degrade access to the Site. The User declares that he/she accepts the characteristics and limitations of the Internet, and acknowledges that:
• his/her use of the Site is at his/her own risk; the Site is accessible to him/her "as is" and according to his/her availability;
• No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained by the User of the Site or during the use of the Site is likely to create guarantees not expressly provided for in these Terms of Use;
• The User is solely responsible for the use he makes of the Information on the Site;
• The User is aware of the nature of the Internet, in particular its technical performance and response times for consulting, querying or transferring Information. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the User expressly acknowledges and agrees that A.S.O. assumes no liability, of any kind, regarding:
• Any failure by another User of the Site to comply with the code of conduct and more generally with the Terms of Use;
• Any interruption or interruption of transmissions to or from the Site due to a problem with the User's Internet connection;
• Errors, inaccuracies or omissions in the information, or damage or loss, of any nature whatsoever, arising from the use of any information provided in the Site. The User acknowledges that A.S.O. cannot guarantee uninterrupted or continuous access to the service and that under no circumstances can A.S.O. be held liable, in particular in the event of:
• Force majeure;
• Interruption of the User's Internet network;
• Fault attributable to the User of the Site caused by misuse of the services;
• Non-compliance with the Terms of Use by the User.
6. GOVERNING LAW.
Both this Site and the terms and conditions of its use are governed by French law, regardless of the place of use. Any dispute, after the failure of any attempt to find an amicable solution, will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Nanterre Courts, which alone may hear it, even in the event of multiple defendants or a third-party claim.
7. MISCELLANEOUS.
A.S.O. may assign its rights and obligations under these General Terms and Conditions of Use. Accordingly, you agree in advance to A.S.O. that the obligations under these Terms and Conditions may be transferred or assigned to a third party or other legal entity of the group to which A.S.O. belongs. The contract will continue by operation of law and without formalities between You and the entity that benefited from the transfer or assignment.
You are not permitted to assign your rights or obligations under these Terms and Conditions of Use. Any assignment in violation of these terms and conditions is null and void. The rights and obligations under these Terms and Conditions of Use which, by their nature, should survive them, will remain in full force and effect after the termination or expiration of the Terms and Conditions of Use.
