It automatically leads to the deletion of the User’s Account without prior notice, without prejudice to any other consequences that may arise under these General Terms and Conditions.

21. Exclusion of liability and guarantee of the Company

The Company undertakes to provide the Services diligently and in accordance with the rules of the art, it being specified that it is under an obligation of means, to the exclusion of any obligation of result, which the User expressly acknowledges and accepts.

The User acknowledges that the Company’s intervention is limited to the provision of the Services, and in particular to the provision of technical means enabling Users participating in the same event to communicate with each other. The Company’s liability is exclusively limited to the provision of these means.

In addition, neither the Company nor a User may invoke the provisions hereof to claim, in any way, the status of agent, representative or employee of the other, nor bind him or her with respect to third parties, beyond the Services provided for by the provisions hereof. Under the terms hereof, there is no particular legal structure between the Company and a User, each retaining its full autonomy, responsibilities and its own clientele.

The Company is not aware of any Content that may be posted online by the User and/or other Users as part of the Services on which it does not perform any moderation, selection, verification or control of any kind and in respect of which it only acts as a hosting provider.

Consequently, the Company cannot be held liable for said Content, the authors of which are third parties, any possible claim being directed in the first instance to the author of the Content in question.

In particular, the Company may under no circumstances be held liable in the event that the information relating to an Event provided by the Organiser and/or a Guest is false or incomplete.

Nor may the Company be held liable in the event of use of the Services by a User who does not comply with these General Terms and Conditions.

In addition, the Company does not guarantee the User that:

the Services, subject to constant research to improve their performance and progress, will be totally free of defects, errors or flaws;
as the Services are standard and not offered solely for the User’s use according to his or her own personal constraints, will specifically meet the User’s needs and expectations.

Subject to these reservations, the Company may be held liable under ordinary law for direct damages suffered by the User resulting from a breach of its contractual obligations as defined herein. The User therefore waives the right to claim compensation from the Company for any reason whatsoever for indirect damage, and in particular loss of opportunity.

In any event, the User acknowledges that the Services offer him/her an additional solution, an alternative to meeting new people and/or meeting people in love, and that this solution cannot replace the other means available to him/her to achieve the same objective.

As such, the User acknowledges and accepts that the Company does not offer any guarantee as to the number of meetings that may be held and/or completed through the Platform during the entire time the Services are used.

22. Social regulations

The Company declares to the User benefiting from the Services in the course of his or her professional activity that it complies with the tax and social legislation in force, that it is up to date with the payment of social security contributions and that it can provide proof of compliance with the various obligations applicable in this regard, at the Professional User’s request.

In the event that the amount of the Services for the current calendar year exceeds the sum of 5,000 euros, the Company must provide the Professional User, prior to the performance of the Services, and then systematically and regularly every six months from the conclusion of this Agreement until the end of their performance, with the following documents:

an identification card proving registration in the Trade Register or an extract from the entry in the Trade and Companies Register dated less than three (3) months (K or KBIS extract), or equivalent for a foreign company,
a certificate of provision of social declarations from the social protection body responsible for collecting the Company’s social security contributions and contributions,
a declaration on honour pursuant to which the Company certifies that it has filed with the tax authorities, on the date of the declaration, all mandatory tax returns, and that the work will be carried out with employees regularly employed under the Labour Code.

23. Insurance

The Company guarantees to the User that it has taken out the necessary insurance policies to insure and guarantee the consequences of its professional civil liability in the event that it is engaged, in order to cover the pecuniary consequences of the damages for which he/she would have to answer.

24. Personal data

The Company has a personal data protection policy, the characteristics of which are explained in the document entitled “Policy on the protection of personal data”, accessible on the Platform’s home page and which the User is expressly invited to read.

The company declares to send your telephone number to https://api.bunchm.com in order to identify you.

The company declares to send your email address to https://api.bunchm.com in order to identify you.

The company declares to send your user id to https://api.bunchm.com in order to identify you.

Specifically, the Company declares that it complies with all legal and regulatory obligations with regard to the protection of personal data, in particular to guarantee the security and confidentiality of the data collected and processed.

The Company is in no way responsible for any processing of personal data carried out by a User in respect of the User’s activities carried out through the Platform, to which the Company is strictly foreign. It is the responsibility of any User to comply with all regulatory obligations incumbent upon him/her in this respect.

The Parties are the sole owners of their names, trademarks, logos, signs, designs.

Each Party undertakes to respect the other Party’s intellectual property rights in respect of these distinctive signs and, in particular, undertakes not to create any analogy and/or confusion in the minds of the public for any purpose whatsoever and by any means whatsoever, in particular, each Party undertakes not to:

use the other Party’s name in its name or in any other trade or business name without limitation;
register or have registered, during and after the end of the contractual relationship between the Parties, any trademark, name, logo, sign and design used by the other Party.

Neither Party shall be liable to the other in the event that the performance of its obligations is delayed, restricted or made impossible due to the occurrence of a force majeure event. In particular, cases of force majeure are considered to be those usually recognised by French case law and courts.
