1. Purpose

The website www.milesrepublic.com (hereinafter the " Site ") is a platform connecting non-professional buyers (hereinafter the " Customers ") and organizers of sporting events, professional or not, partners of Miles Republic (hereinafter the " Partners ") in order to allow the latter to offer their services to Customers and to conclude sales with them through the company Olympyk, a simplified joint-stock company with capital of 47,059 euros registered with the RCS of Lille under number 888 926 763 and having its registered office at 71, quai de l'Ouest, 59000 Lille (hereinafter " Miles Republic ").

Miles Republic is not the seller of the services purchased through the Site. The Partners have given Miles Republic a mandate to offer and market on the Site, in their name and on their own account, registration fees and places for sporting events that they organize and all services associated with these events (hereinafter the " Services ") and possibly products associated with these events (hereinafter the " Products ").

These general terms and conditions of sale (hereinafter the " GTC ") describe the terms of distance selling of Services and Products between Partners and Customers through Miles Republic and define the obligations and rights of Customers and Miles Republic in this regard.

2. Scope of application

These General Terms and Conditions apply, without restriction or reservation, to all sales of Services and Products concluded between Partners and Customers, purchasers of the Services or Products, through Miles Republic, from the Site.

These T&Cs only concern the relationships between Partners and Customers. They therefore do not govern the relationships between Partners and Miles Republic. They supplement the general terms of use (GTU) that govern the relationships between Customers and Miles Republic available here .

The T&Cs are accessible at any time on the Site and will prevail, where applicable, over any other version or any other contradictory document, in particular the regulations of the Partners' sporting events.

Special conditions set out on the Site, before any transaction with the Client, may, as necessary, modify, supplement, complete or clarify the T&Cs (hereinafter the “ Special Conditions ”).

The Customer is deemed to have duly read these General Terms and Conditions and any Special Conditions and to have accepted them by placing an online order as provided for in Article 2 hereof, as well as the general conditions of use of the Site available here .

3. Characteristics of the Services and Products offered on the site

The Services and Products offered for sale on the Site are the subject of a description allowing the Customer to know their main characteristics as well as their price.

The Customer is required to take due note of this before placing any order.

The Customer acknowledges and accepts that the choice and purchase of a Service and a Product is his/her sole and entire responsibility.

The photographs and graphics presented on the Site are not contractual and cannot engage the responsibility of Miles Republic.

The Customer is required to refer to the description of each Service and Product in order to know its essential properties and particularities. The contractual information is presented in French and is subject to confirmation at the latest at the time of validation of the order by the Customer.

The Customer is invited to take note of any other additional information provided where applicable by the Partner, in particular the regulations of the sporting event concerned, and to carry out any checks which seem necessary or appropriate before proceeding with any order.

The offers of Services and Products are understood to be within the limit of available stocks, as specified when placing the order.

In accordance with Article 1127-2 of the Civil Code, the Customer has the possibility to check the details of his order, its total price and to correct any errors before confirming his acceptance. It is therefore up to the Customer to check the accuracy of the order and to immediately report any errors.

Any order placed on the Site constitutes the formation of a contract concluded remotely between the Customer and the Partner within the meaning of Article L. 221-1 of the Consumer Code.

Only the Partner, whose name is indicated on the description sheet of each Service or Product, is the Client's co-contractor for the purchase of said Service or Product.

Miles Republic reserves the right to cancel or refuse any order from a Customer with whom there is a dispute relating to the payment of a previous order.

Any late payment will automatically result in the application of a fixed compensation of forty (40) euros, without prejudice to late payment penalties.

The Customer must comply with the rules and instructions communicated by Miles Republic and, where applicable, by the Partner who provides the Services, including, but not limited to, clothing, health, insurance, size, age and safety conditions.

If the Services ordered have not been provided on the date indicated, for any reason other than force majeure or the actions of the Customer, the sale may be terminated at the written request of the Customer under the conditions set out in Articles L. 216-2, L. 216-3 and L. 241-4 of the Consumer Code. The sums paid by the Customer will then be returned to him by the Partner no later than fourteen days following the date of termination of the contract, excluding any compensation or deduction that would be provided for in the settlement of the event, excluding processing and management fees of Miles Republic.

In the event of postponement, interruption, modification of the program or distribution of any event, any refund, excluding Miles Republic processing and management fees, will be subject to the sole conditions set by the Partner and Miles Republic cannot be held responsible in this regard.

The Products ordered by the Customer will be delivered in mainland France within the shipping time indicated on the Product sheet, to which is added the processing and delivery time to the address indicated by the Customer when ordering on the Site.

Delivery consists of the transfer to the Customer of physical possession or control of the Product.

Except in special cases or in the unavailability of one or more Products, the Products ordered will be delivered in one go.

The Partner undertakes to make its best efforts to deliver the products ordered by the Customer within the time limits specified above. However, these deadlines are provided for information purposes only.

If the Products ordered have not been delivered within 15 days after the indicative delivery date, for any reason other than force majeure or the actions of the Customer, the sale may be terminated at the written request of the Customer under the conditions set out in Articles L. 216-2, L. 216-3 and L. 241-4 of the Consumer Code. The sums paid by the Customer will then be returned to him no later than fourteen days following the date of termination of the contract, excluding any compensation or withholding and excluding processing and management costs.

In the event of non-conformity of the Product delivered, the Partner undertakes to remedy this or to reimburse the Customer.

The Products supplied by the Partner benefit automatically and without additional payment, independently of the right of withdrawal, in accordance with the legal provisions, from the legal guarantee of conformity, for Products that are apparently defective, damaged or damaged or do not correspond to the order, as well as from the legal guarantee against hidden defects arising from a material, design or manufacturing defect affecting the products delivered and making them unfit for use.

9. Right of withdrawal

A. Regarding services

Given the nature of the Services, which constitute leisure activity services to be provided on a specific date or period within the meaning of Article L. 221-28 of the Consumer Code, orders placed by the Customer do not benefit from the right of withdrawal.

The contract is therefore definitively concluded upon placing the order by the Customer in accordance with the terms specified in these General Terms and Conditions.

B. Regarding the Products

In accordance with the legal provisions in force, the Customer has a period of fourteen days from receipt of the Product to exercise his right of withdrawal with the Partner (unless it is a non-professional seller), without having to justify reasons or pay a penalty, for the purpose of exchange or reimbursement, provided that the Products are returned in their original packaging and in perfect condition within 14 days following notification to the Partner of the Customer's decision to withdraw.

Returns must be made in their original condition and complete (packaging, accessories, instructions, etc.) allowing them to be put back on the market in new condition, accompanied by the purchase invoice.

Damaged, soiled or incomplete Products will not be accepted.

The right of withdrawal may be exercised using the withdrawal form available in the appendix, in which case an acknowledgement of receipt on a durable medium will be immediately communicated to the Customer, or any other declaration, free from ambiguity, expressing the desire to withdraw.

In the event of exercising the right of withdrawal within the aforementioned period, only the price of the Product(s) purchased and the delivery costs will be refunded; the return costs will remain the responsibility of the Customer.

C. Regarding reimbursement

The refund, excluding Miles Republic processing and management fees, will be made within 14 days of the Customer being notified of the decision to withdraw, directly by Miles Republic, in the name and on behalf of the Partner, by crediting the Customer's bank account.

10. Liability and guarantees

The Services and Products sold by the Partner through the Site comply with the regulations in force in France.

It is recalled that Miles Republic is not the seller of the Services and Products. Miles Republic cannot therefore be held responsible for sales made between the Customer and the Partner, to which Miles Republic remains a stranger. The Services and Products cannot be returned or exchanged by Miles Republic and any dispute relating to a sales transaction made through Miles Republic must be settled directly between the Customer and the Partner.

Miles Republic's liability towards the Customer can only be incurred for acts which are directly attributable to it and which cause the Customer direct harm, to the exclusion of any indirect harm.

Miles Republic shall not be held liable in the event of misuse of the Services and Products by the Customer or any fault on their part. Nor shall it be held liable for acts attributable to a third party.

Miles Republic cannot be held liable or held responsible for the content made available on the Site, particularly with regard to the description of the Services and Products.

No express or implied guarantee may be granted by Miles Republic to the Customer with regard to the essential characteristics of the Services and Products marketed by Miles Republic on behalf of the Partner. In particular, Miles Republic may not be held liable under any circumstances for any damage occurring after the connection between the Customer and the Partner. Miles Republic only guarantees the connection services, which are subject to all necessary care to ensure their effectiveness in relation to the information appearing on the Partner's website on the date of the order.

In any event, Miles Republic cannot be held liable in any way in the event of the Customer's dissatisfaction with the Services and Products, the choice and purchase of a Service or Product being the sole responsibility of the Customer.

The Customer acknowledges that Miles Republic has no control over the organisation and running of sporting events organised by the Partner, and cannot therefore be held liable to the Customer for any injury, damage or loss suffered in connection with his/her participation in said event or in connection with the event (including in the event of a breach by the Event Partner of the conditions of the event).

11. Protection of personal data

In application of law n° 78-17 of January 6, 1978 relating to information technology, files and freedoms, as amended, it is recalled that the personal data requested from the Customer are necessary in particular for the placing and processing of his order.

This data is communicated to the Partners responsible for the execution, processing, management and payment of orders.

The processing of information communicated via the Site meets the legal requirements regarding the protection of personal data, the information system used by Miles Republic ensuring optimal protection of this data.

The Client has, in accordance with current national and European regulations, a right of access, modification, rectification, opposition, portability and limitation of the processing of all of his personal data.

These rights may be exercised under the conditions and in accordance with the terms defined by the Miles Republic privacy policy, available here .

12. Intellectual property

The design and content of the Site and in particular all photographs, texts, comments, illustrations, images, animated or not, video sequences, sounds, as well as all computer applications used for the operation of the Site and more generally all elements reproduced or used on the Site that belong to Miles Republic, that have been licensed to Miles Republic or that are subject to lawful use, are protected by the laws and regulations in force and in particular the provisions of the Intellectual Property Code. All property and moral rights relating to these elements remain the sole property of Miles Republic and, where applicable, the Partners.

Only the rights of access and use of the Site are recognized to the User. Any reproduction, representation, republication, redistribution, use, transformation or adaptation, in any form whatsoever, of all or part of the aforementioned elements, including computer applications, as well as any operation aimed at accessing the source code of the Site, its database or any element likely to be protected by an intellectual property right, without the prior written consent of Miles Republic are strictly prohibited.

In addition, the Miles Republic brand and, where applicable, the brands and logos of Partners or third parties appearing on the Site are registered trademarks. Any total or partial reproduction of these brands and/or logos, without the written authorization of Miles Republic or, where applicable, of Partners or third parties is strictly prohibited.

The User acknowledges that failure to comply with the provisions of this article may incur both civil and criminal liability and may give rise to legal proceedings, particularly for counterfeiting.

13. Force majeure

The parties shall not be held liable if the non-performance or delay in the performance of any of their obligations, as described herein, results from a case of force majeure, within the meaning of Article 1218 of the Civil Code.

The party noting the event must immediately inform the other party of its inability to perform its service and provide justification to the latter. The suspension of obligations may in no case be a cause of liability for non-performance of the obligation in question, nor lead to the payment of damages or late payment penalties.

As soon as the cause of the suspension of their mutual obligations disappears, the Parties will make every effort to resume the normal execution of their contractual obligations as quickly as possible.

If the impediment is permanent or exceeds a period of 30 days, these terms and conditions will be purely and simply resolved after sending a formal notice by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt or any extrajudicial act.

14. Nullity and independence of clauses

In the event that a provision of the T&Cs is deemed by a competent court to be void or unenforceable, in whole or in part, under the law, this provision will, to the extent necessary, be deemed to no longer be an integral part of the T&Cs. Nevertheless, the legality, validity and binding nature of the other provisions of the T&Cs will remain in full force and effect. The Parties will make every reasonable effort to agree in good faith on a replacement provision that will, as far as possible, have the same scope as the void provision.

15. Modification

The General Terms and Conditions may be subject to subsequent modifications; the version applicable to the Customer's purchase is that in force on the Site on the date the order is placed.

Any modification of the T&Cs is binding on users of the Site from the time they are posted online and cannot apply to transactions concluded previously.

16. Proof agreement

Unless proven otherwise, the data recorded in the Miles Republic computer system constitutes proof of all transactions concluded with the Customer.

17. Applicable law – Language

These General Terms and Conditions and the operations resulting from them are governed by French law.

They are written in French. In the event that they are translated into one or more languages, only the French text shall be authentic in the event of a dispute.

18. Disputes

All disputes to which the purchase and sale transactions concluded in application of these General Terms and Conditions may give rise, concerning their validity, their interpretation, their execution, their termination, their consequences and their follow-ups are directly settled between the Client and the Partner.

The Client and the Partner will make their best efforts to reach an amicable resolution of the dispute.

The Customer is informed that in accordance with Article L. 612-1 of the Consumer Code, he may in any event resort to conventional mediation, in particular with the Consumer Mediation Commission or with existing sectoral mediation bodies, the references of which appear on the Site or to any alternative dispute resolution method (conciliation, for example) in the event of a dispute.
