To create his Profile, the User must follow the following procedures through AZEOO mobile applications:

This will prevent other Users from interacting with the User.

6.4. Compatibility and interoperability of AZEOO services

AZEOO cannot ensure or guarantee that the AZEOO Services will be compatible and/or interoperable with all hardware, software, services available on the market. To date, there is a very large number of connected materials, whether computers, smartphones, objects, etc., each based on a wide variety of technologies, operating systems and software that are constantly evolving. 

As such, AZEOO makes its best effort to allow, as far as possible, interoperability and compatibility of AZEOO services with the most widely used third-party equipment and services on the market. However, under no circumstances, AZEOO may be held liable due to problems of compatibility of AZEOO services with third-party equipment and services. 

7. Identification

The identifiers are unique, personal and strictly confidential.

AZEOO and the User undertake, each as far as it is concerned, to preserve its confidentiality. The User is solely responsible for its use.

Any use of identifiers is presumed to constitute use of the Profile by its User, which the User expressly accepts.

The User undertakes to notify AZEOO without delay of any theft or breach of the confidentiality of his identifiers, as well as any unauthorized use of his identifiers. In this case, the User must generate a new password via the AZEOO Services.

The deletion of illicit content by AZEOO does not under any circumstances give the User the right to compensation.

10. Health and Security

The User must use the content of the AZEOO Services in accordance with any instructions or security instructions that are given by AZEOO (for content provided by AZEOO), Coaches or Clubs in connection with the performance of the services.

Users are reminded that before any sporting practice, any User must first check with their attending physician to ensure that they are able to do so. The same applies before any change in nutritional habits. In addition, the regular practice of a sporting activity or the adoption of a nutritional program requires regular medical follow-up. The frequency of this monitoring must be specified by the attending physician of each User.

It is strictly forbidden for a User whose physical condition or state of health does not lend itself to a sporting practice or nutritional program to use the AZEOO Services

The AZEOO Services are not intended to replace medical advice, but only to bring together people who are passionate about sport and nutrition for purely aesthetic purposes and personal well-being.

The User is the sole responsible of the proper use of the Services, with discernment and good sense.

AZEOO is not responsible for the use made by the User of the AZEOO Services.

In particular, AZEOO’s liability can under no circumstances be sought in the event of misuse of the services or non-compliance with health and safety instructions by the User.

19. Subcontracting

20. Applicable legislation, language, dispute resolution

The General Terms and Conditions of Use are governed by the laws and regulations of the French Republic.

The General Terms and Conditions of Use are written in French. In the event that they are translated into one or more languages, only the original French text shall prevail in the event of a dispute.

In the event that a dispute arises between the Parties in the execution or interpretation of this Agreement, the Parties undertake to attempt to resolve it amicably in advance.

The consumer remains free to bring an action before the court of his choice at any time.

Mediation and conciliation are two methods of amicable conflict resolution involving a third party, the mediator and the conciliator.

Mediation is a method of conflict resolution that consists of accompanying the Parties and seeking the advice of a qualified third party, the mediator, a process freely accepted by the Parties. The mediator handles the case with both Parties, in his office, unlike the conciliator who can handle the case with only one of the Parties.

Conciliation consists of the intervention of a third party, the justice conciliator, who, after listening to the Parties and analysing their point of view, proposes a solution to settle their dispute. It is the last resort to try to obtain an amicable settlement of a dispute before initiating legal proceedings. It aims to seek a compromise between two opponents who have an interest in reconciling. Conciliators are voluntary auxiliaries to the judiciary, appointed by the First Presidents of the Court of Appeal, preferably from among persons with some legal experience. They are responsible, outside any legal proceedings, for helping their fellow citizens to settle disputes and may be referred to them, without any particular formality, by any consumer, during their duty at the level of the cantons. The task of conciliators is to bring the opponents together and lead them to discover the solution to their dispute themselves. The agreement of the Parties, if obtained, may be given concrete form by a statement of agreement which shall have the legal force of a contract. The court of first instance may enforce this statement of agreement if one of the Parties so requests. However, this must be achieved and completed quickly because the conciliation procedure does not interrupt or suspend the time limits for legal proceedings. To find out where they are, on what days and at what times they are on duty, you should contact the registry of the Court of Appeal or the town hall or on the Internet on the website of the Ministry of Justice.

In the event of a dispute, the most diligent Party may send the other Party a registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt to request an amicable resolution procedure for the dispute.

If the User is a consumer subject to French law, if he or she so wishes, he or she may also refer the case to the national consumer ombudsman responsible for Digital Commerce: 

Fédération du e-commerce et de la vente à distance (FEVAD).

Adresse : 60 rue la Boétie – 75008 PARIS

Internet Website http://www.mediateurfevad.fr/

The User is informed that the mediator may only be brought before the User after having first attempted to resolve the dispute directly with AZEOO by means of a written complaint.

The time limit for referring the case to the mediator is one year from the date of the complaint.

If, at the end of a period of 90 days from the date of first submission of the registered letter referred to in the preceding paragraph, the Parties are unable to reach agreement, the dispute shall then be submitted, at the initiative of the most diligent Party, to the competent courts.

ANY DISPUTE ARISING FROM THE INTERPRETATION OR EXECUTION OF THESE GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF USE SHALL FALL EXCLUSIVELY WITHIN THE JURISDICTION OF THE COMPETENT FRENCH COURTS, IN PARTICULAR FOR PROFESSIONALS WHO EXPRESSLY WAIVE THE BENEFIT OF ANY COURT OTHER THAN THOSE OF THE LYON COURT OF FIRST INSTANCE. IF A MORE FAVOURABLE JURISDICTIONAL COMPETENCE APPLIES IMPERATIVELY TO THE USER BECAUSE OF HIS STATUS AS A CONSUMER, THEN, FAILING THIS, THE COMPETENT COURTS SHALL BE THOSE DESIGNATED BY THE LAWS, REGULATIONS AND INTERNATIONAL TREATIES IN FORCE. IF A CONFLICT OF JURISDICTION SHOULD ARISE, THE COMPETENT COURT WILL BE THE ONE CHOSEN BY AZEOO.
