General Terms of Use (G.T.U.)

Preamble

The purpose of this document is to define the terms and conditions under which the site Lockee.fr and associated services are available to users.

Access to and use of the Service are subject to these General Terms of Use, which the User expressly accepts when registering for the Service.

For the User, the simple access to the site via the following URL address https://lockee.fr (or its sub-domains) implies the acceptance of all the conditions described below.

I. Intellectual Property

No reproduction, even partial, as provided for in article L.122-5 of the Intellectual Property Code, may be made of this site without the authorization of the publication director.

II. Definitions

In these General Terms of Use, the following terms have, unless otherwise specified, the meaning given to them in this article.

Service: The Lockee.fr site, accessible at the domain lockee.fr. The use of the Service is subject to the acceptance of these General Terms of Use by the User upon his first connection.

Editor: Person managing the Service; currently Mr. Desmarets Nicolas.

User: Person using the Service for his own needs in the context of a non-commercial use.

Account: Set of computer and network resources assigned to a User who can only use them by identifying on the Service with his username (personal email address) and his password (chosen at registration).

Content: All content published by the User within the Service (and including all texts, images, links ...). These contents are hosted by the Service.

Lock: Virtual lock created by the User within the Service. A lock is identified by a unique code (a string of 8 characters) and can be associated with a Content.

III. Presentation of the Service

The Service allows users to create and share virtual locks through a link or a QR-Code (usable in the context of digital escape games). Different types of code are configurable and different Contents can be associated with them: text, image, video hosted on the web or link to a site.

Any User with an Account can create his own virtual padlocks (within the limit of 60) and share them afterwards. These virtual padlocks are then accessible to any other User (with or without an Account) who has a link to them.

The Service is free of charge for all Users (excluding for commercial use). Any User with access to the Internet can access the Service for free and from anywhere. The costs incurred by the User to access it (Internet connection, computer equipment, etc.) are not the responsibility of the Editor. Some additional options could be offered in exchange of a paid subscription.

Use of the Service for commercial purposes requires a paid subscription. Any Account conducting commercial activity using the Service for free (without a subscription) may be blocked or deleted without notice.

The virtual Locks offered by the Service have been developed for recreational use. In terms of security, it is therefore strongly advised against using them to share confidential or sensitive information.

The Service may be interrupted or suspended by the Editor, occasionally or permanently, without notice or justification.

IV. User Responsibility

The User is solely responsible for the Content he publishes on the Service.

In this regard, the Contents deposited must not be contrary to the legal and / or regulatory provisions in force, as well as those listed in these Terms.

In addition, they must not infringe the rights of third parties, or be likely to infringe the image of the Service.

Thus, the User undertakes in particular, without this list being restrictive or exhaustive, to ensure that no Content of which he is the author falls under:

• infringement of the privacy of others;
• defamation and insult;
• provocation of minors to commit illicit or dangerous acts;
• dissemination of messages of a violent or pornographic nature;
• incitement to discrimination against a person or group of persons because of their ethnicity, religion, or sexual orientation;
• incitement to hatred, violence, suicide, racism, anti-Semitism, xenophobia, homophobia;

The User also agrees not to publish any hypertext links:

• referring to external sites contrary to the above conditions;
• containing computer viruses or more generally codes, files or programs designed to interrupt, destroy or limit the functionality of any software, computer or telecommunication tool without this enumeration being restrictive;
• allowing any act of hacking or circumvention of technical protection devices or information / references to intellectual property rights;
• hindering or disrupting access to and use of the Service, servers, networks connected to the Blog, or refusing to comply with any requirements, procedures, general rules or regulations applicable to networks connected to the Service

V. Liability of the Publisher

The Publisher accepts no responsibility for any Content submitted by any User in connection with the use of the Service, it being understood that the User alone is fully responsible for such Content in its capacity as Publisher.

Furthermore, the Publisher shall not be liable for any fraudulent use that may be made of Content posted on the Service by Users, for any damage that the User may suffer as a result of the use by others of the User's Account, whether or not the User had knowledge of such use, or for unauthorized access by a third party to a User's Account.

User agrees to notify the Publisher of any unauthorized use of User's Account, or any other breach of security of User's Account. The Publisher shall not be liable for any consequences resulting from third party access to User's Account in connection with the Service.

Any User may report the presence of Content that does not comply with these Terms of Use by clicking on the link provided for this purpose at the bottom of the page.

The Publisher provides, within the framework of this Service, an online communication hosting service and consequently assumes the responsibility defined in Article 6-I-2 of the Law of June 21, 2004 for Confidence in the Digital Economy.

The Publisher may therefore in any event immediately remove any Content that is manifestly illegal and/or unlawful, or more generally contrary to these Terms of Use.

In the event of User's breach of any or all of these Terms and Conditions, the Publisher reserves the right to immediately suspend or terminate User's Account, without User being entitled to claim damages of any kind.

VI. Access to the Service

The Publisher endeavors to provide access to the Site 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, except in cases of force majeure or events beyond the control of the Publisher, and subject to possible breakdowns and maintenance interventions necessary for the proper functioning of the Service.

Consequently, the Publisher cannot guarantee the availability of the Service, the reliability of transmissions and performance in terms of response time or quality. No technical assistance is provided to the User either by electronic or telephone means.

The Publisher shall not be liable for any inability to access the Service.

In addition, the Publisher may interrupt all or part of the Service at any time without notice and without entitlement to compensation. The User acknowledges and agrees that the Publisher shall not be liable for any such interruptions and the consequences thereof for the User or any third party.

VII. Modification of the Terms of Use

The Publisher reserves the right to modify, at any time and without prior notice, these Terms of Use in order to adapt them to changes in the Service and/or its operation.

VIII. Rules for using the Internet

The User declares that he/she accepts the characteristics and limits of the Internet, and in particular acknowledges that:

The Publisher assumes no responsibility for the services accessible via the Internet and exercises no control whatsoever over the nature and characteristics of the data that may pass through its server center.

The User acknowledges that the data circulating on the Internet is not protected, in particular against possible misappropriation. The communication of any information deemed by the User to be of a sensitive or confidential nature is done at his/her own risk.

The User acknowledges that data circulating on the Internet may be regulated in terms of use or be protected by property rights.

The User is solely responsible for the use of the data he consults, queries and transfers on the Internet.

L’Utilisateur reconnaît que l’Éditeur ne dispose d’aucun moyen de contrôle sur le contenu des services accessibles sur Internet.

IX. Applicable law

Both the Service and the terms and conditions of its use are governed by French law, regardless of the place of use. In the event of a dispute, and after all attempts to find an amicable solution have failed, the French courts shall have sole jurisdiction to hear the dispute.

For any question relating to the present General Conditions of Use, you can write to us at the addresses given in the legal notice.
