The purpose of these Terms and Conditions of Use (the “TCU”) is to communicate the conditions for the provision of IT and intellectual services by the OPEE association (“the Service Provider”) to its users (the “User”) directly or via the website https://opee-sbat.org/ (the “Website”).
By accessing the service as described below (the “Service”), you become a User. Any use of the Website and the Service implies the User's express acceptance of these TCU and commitment to comply with them. In order to access the Service, the User must click on the “Acceptance” tab at the end of these TCU.
By clicking on the “Acceptance” tab, the User's acceptance of the TCU is deemed to be express and unequivocal. The User also accepts the use that may be made of the information it provides to the Service Provider through the Website. The Service Provider undertakes to make every effort to maintain the confidentiality of such information in accordance with the terms below.
The User's commitment to respect the terms of the TCU, once accepted, applies whether or not the User actually uses the Service. The User is free to refuse the terms of the TCU. However, this refusal will prevent the User from accessing the features of the Service, but will not release it from its obligations to comply with the rules governing the use of the Website found at the following link: Legal Notice.
