Furthermore, you may not use any unwarranted or fraudulent method to access, search, remove, download or change Motuu or its contents, or to circumvent our security measures or test the vulnerability of our systems or networks.

We make every effort to provide you with the best quality access to the Services. However, our Services and all content on the Platform are provided as is, without any obligation or warranty of any kind, express or implied.
Motuu will not be responsible in any way for the content that you or another User may view, post, share or save on the Platform. By using and browsing the Platform, you understand and accept that you may encounter User Content that is inappropriate or unsuitable for your purpose.
Il est malheureusement possible que certaines personnes publient des contenus inappropriés sur notre Plateforme.

Any user using the Services and browsing the Platform acknowledges that he/she has read and accepted the present GTC, as well as having the necessary faculties and rights. The User is the only person responsible for the proper use of the data on the Platform.
As such, he/she is solely responsible for the information, texts and User Content published, shared and saved on the Platform. The User Content, information and texts posted on the Platform must at all times respect the Motuu Community rules set out in the section "Motuu Community Rules".
Thus, the presence, the use and the sharing of this information and contents on the Platform as a whole cannot in any way engage the responsibility of Motuu, in any capacity whatsoever. On the other hand, Motuu cannot be held responsible or involved in a dispute between the Users of the Services and the Partners, or between the Users themselves.
By using the service, the User commits himself/herself to take charge of the payment of the sums, whatever they may be, resulting from the recourse of a third party against Motuu, including the lawyer's fees and legal costs. He also commits himself to compensate or indemnify Motuu for all harmful consequences directly or indirectly linked to the use he makes of the Services.
Motuu reserves the right to delete all or part of the User Content, at any time and for any reason, without notice or warning. The User will not be able to make any claim in this respect. Motuu also reserves the right to exclude any User whose behavior is inappropriate or does not comply with the present GTU. This exclusion can be done without notice or notification.
The information accessible on the Platform comes from sources deemed reliable. However, Motuu cannot guarantee the accuracy or the relevance of these data. This information is present on the Platform for information purposes only.
Motuu also reserves the right to access, read, retain or disclose any information or data deemed necessary to satisfy any law, regulation, legal process or governmental request for the purpose of enforcing these terms and conditions, including investigating potential violations of these terms and conditions, detecting, preventing or reporting fraud, security or technical problems, responding to users' requests for support, or protecting the rights, property or safety of Motuu, its users and the public.
Motuu cannot be held responsible, within the limits of the applicable law, for damages and/or prejudices, direct or indirect, material or immaterial, or of any nature whatsoever, resulting from the unavailability of one or several Services or from any use of the Service. The term "use" must be understood in the broadest sense, i.e. any use of the Platform and Services whatsoever, legal or not.
We may change these Terms and Conditions from time to time and the most current version will always be posted on our website.
The User agrees, in general, to comply with all regulations in force in France.

It is strictly forbidden to copy or download all or part of these elements which are protected by copyright, except with our prior and express authorization.
Any total or partial representation of the Platform, by any company or individual whatsoever, without the express permission of its owners, is prohibited and would constitute an infringement punishable by the Code of Intellectual Property.
