• To share any internet links whatsoever.

2.2 Creating an account

In addition to accepting these Terms of Use, access to the Service is subject to the creation of an account on the Site. To do so, you must provide the information necessary to identify you. When opening this account, you warrant that the information you provide is accurate and truthful, and you agree to notify Toofrench.com immediately in the event of any changes to the information provided during your registration and, if necessary, to make such changes yourself within your personal account on the Toofrench.com website.

2.3 Account Security and Privacy

To use the Service, you must use the username and password you created when you opened your account. You agree to keep them confidential and not to disclose them to any third party. You will be solely responsible for any access to the Service using your username and password, unless you can prove that the use was fraudulent and not attributable to you. In the event of loss, misappropriation, or fraudulent use of your username and/or password, you agree to immediately notify Toofrench.com customer service.

Toofrench.com is under no obligation and does not have the technical or legal means to verify the identity of individuals who register on the Site. If you believe that a person’s identity on the Site is inaccurate or that someone is fraudulently using your account or the information you have provided, you must immediately notify Toofrench.com customer service.

2.4 Invitations & Sponsorship

When a User wishes to invite a friend or acquaintance to the Site and provides Toofrench.com with that friend’s contact information, the User agrees that they have first obtained that friend’s express consent to the processing and collection of their personal data by Toofrench.com. This data will then be used to send, on behalf of and in the name of the User providing Toofrench.com with the contact information, an email introducing Toofrench.com and the services offered to the “referred” friend. Where applicable, the User provides this information knowingly and under their sole responsibility and agrees to assume all consequences thereof.

2.5 Right of Withdrawal

In accordance with Article L 121-20 of the French Consumer Code, customers have seven clear days from the date of subscription to the service to exercise their right of withdrawal, without penalty or justification. However, in accordance with Article L 121-20-2, 1° of the French Consumer Code, the customer may no longer exercise their right of withdrawal once they have accessed or used the services.

ARTICLE 3 – How Toofrench.com Works

Once their account has been created, Users can access the Services offered by Toofrench.com.

Since certain services are subject to prior moderation, they can only be used after your account has been approved by the moderators at Toofrench.com.

By default, Users have access to limited services. To gain access to more extensive services, each User has the option to choose a paid service. To do so, they must sign up for a paid plan or purchase a subscription (see Section 4 below).

ARTICLE 4 – Subscription to Paid Services & Payment Terms

4.1 Signing up for or subscribing to paid services

Once an account has been created, the User may, if they wish, purchase paid services or subscribe to the service. Subscribing to paid services or a subscription plan offers the advantage of access to a wider range of services and features on Toofrench.com. Several types of subscriptions are available; the duration of your subscription depends on the period you have chosen. The terms and conditions for subscribing to a plan are detailed on the corresponding payment page: price, available features, duration. The prices listed on the Site are in euros, including all taxes, for countries in the Eurozone.

4.2 Payment for a paid offer or subscription

Payment for a paid service or subscription is made by credit card through one of our payment service providers—STRIPE, MANGOPAY, or PAYPAL—which is responsible for processing your payment. By using our payment service provider, you agree to the terms of use and the general terms and conditions of the payment service. Consequently, any sale of paid services or subscriptions on Toofrench.com is final and binding, without prejudice to the provisions set forth in Article 2 herein, and in particular the provision regarding the right of withdrawal.

4.3 Renewing a subscription

To avoid any interruption in service, your subscription will be automatically renewed for a new term of the same duration as the one you selected when you signed up for the paid service. Therefore, unless you expressly request cancellation, you will continue to receive the service at the rate applicable to your current subscription. Your subscription will thus be automatically renewed until you expressly notify Toofrench.com of your desire to cancel your current subscription under the conditions described in this article, in the “Cancellation” section below.

4.4 Canceling Your Subscription

You can cancel your subscription at any time by clicking the "Cancel my subscription" link on your account management page before your subscription period expires. Even if you do so, you will still be able to use your account until your subscription expires. Please note that no refund will be issued if you decide to cancel your subscription, as the service will remain available until the end of the subscription period. Any cancellation request will be deemed effective on the business day following its receipt by Toofrench.com. In the event of cancellation and/or closure of your Account, Toofrench.com does not guarantee that your Account or your user data will be retained in the event of a new subscription.

Notwithstanding the provisions herein, Toofrench.com may terminate your account without notice in the event of a breach on your part; the terms of such discretionary termination vary depending on the severity of the breach. Such termination shall be without prejudice to any damages that Toofrench.com may claim from the User as compensation for losses suffered by Toofrench.com as a result of such breaches.

Termination for Minor Breach: A minor breach occurs when the user fails to comply with, or has failed to comply with, any provision of these Terms of Use, excluding those contained in Articles 2 and 6 (serious breach). In such a case, Toofrench.com will first send an email to the User responsible for the breach. If the User does not respond to the email and/or continues to breach the terms, their account will be terminated at our discretion within two business days.

Termination for material breach: A material breach occurs when the user fails to comply with, or has failed to comply with, any provision of Articles 2 and 6 of these Terms of Service. In such a case, termination is effective immediately, and the user is not entitled to claim any refund for the remaining period of their subscription until the next renewal date.

TOO FRENCH SAS reserves the right to take legal action against any person whose conduct has caused harm (of any kind) to another user of Toofrench.com or to the company itself.

ARTICLE 5 – Liability & Obligations of Toofrench.com

5.1 General Liability

Toofrench.com is an online service dedicated to the learning and teaching of French as a foreign language (FLE).

Under no circumstances is Toofrench.com bound by or commits to any obligation of result in this regard.

Under no circumstances shall Toofrench.com be held liable for any messages or information exchanged on the Site. Each User expressly acknowledges that, by simply using the Service, they may be potentially exposed to inaccurate, offensive, indecent, or negative content.

Solicitation by Other Users: We also ask for the utmost vigilance regarding any requests for money or solicitation from unscrupulous users of this Service, and everyone is urged not to respond to such requests under any circumstances. We also encourage our Users to report any requests that seem unusual and that may have escaped the attention of our moderation team.

5.2 Technical Responsibility

The hardware required to access the Service is the sole responsibility of the User, as are the telecommunications costs (internet subscriptions, telephone service, etc.) necessary to use the Service. By connecting to, using, and participating in Toofrench.com, the User acknowledges full knowledge and awareness of the limitations of the Internet regarding all technical aspects of data transfer, protection against viruses, and other Internet-related constraints.

• Internet network malfunctions that result in failures in the administration, security, integrity, or management of the services offered on the site,
• changes to the website's programming that result in an update and/or temporary unavailability of the website,
• any loss of the User's data or settings,
• consequences and damage caused by a computer virus,
• participant's connection issues with the site,
• Cases of force majeure as recognized by case law.

• conduct by any User that violates the law, public decency, or public order.

In any event, Toofrench.com shall only be liable to the User for acts directly attributable to it, and such liability shall in any case be limited to an amount equal to the cost of the service purchased or the subscription paid in the month preceding the disputed event. Toofrench.com shall not be liable for indirect damages. Toofrench.com shall also not be held liable for any misuse of the Service by the User.

ARTICLE 6 – Users’ Responsibilities and Obligations

6.1 General Liability

First and foremost, each User agrees to comply with applicable laws, regulations, and international conventions, and undertakes to ensure that any content they choose to share with other Users (photos, messages, audio, videos) complies with these Terms of Use as well as applicable laws and regulations, so that it does not violate public order, public decency, or the rights of third parties.

6.2 Liability for Published Content

The information provided by a User to Toofrench.com must be accurate. Toofrench.com does not undertake to verify the identity of Users or the accuracy of the Content (information, photos, messages, audio, videos) they provide, as such Content is provided under their sole and exclusive responsibility. Any consequences of the disclosure of information regarding their personal lives and/or Content are the sole responsibility of the Users concerned. Consequently, each User waives any right to seek redress against Toofrench.com, particularly on the grounds of any potential infringement of their right to privacy, honor, or reputation resulting from the dissemination or disclosure of information concerning them.

Furthermore, Users are advised that, given the nature of the internet, transmitted data is not protected against the risks of misappropriation and/or hacking, for which Toofrench.com cannot be held liable. It is therefore the sole responsibility of each User sharing content to take all appropriate measures to protect that content. Thus, any User who makes their content accessible to other users acknowledges that Toofrench.com does not guarantee the confidentiality of the content, whether or not it is published.

In particular, and without this list being exhaustive, the User agrees that no content provided by him or her:

• Does not incite violence, crime, or offenses, including sexual assault, suicide, acts of terrorism, theft, vandalism, or damage,
• Does not glorify war crimes, crimes against humanity, or acts of terrorism,
• Does not incite racial discrimination, hatred, or violence against a person or group of people on the basis of their origin, or their membership or non-membership in a particular ethnic group, nation, or religion,
• Does not contain offensive language or insults directed at third parties,
• Does not infringe upon the privacy, image, or personal life of a third party,
• Does not infringe upon property rights, including intellectual property rights,
• Does not undermine the security or integrity of any State,
• Do not offer for sale, give away, or exchange any property obtained through the commission of a misdemeanor or felony (such as fraud, embezzlement, breach of trust, etc.).
• Does not contain pornographic or child pornography content,

Any breach by a User of the obligations set forth in this section, in Section 2 of these Terms of Use, or, more generally, of any obligation that Toofrench.com deems essential at its sole discretion may result in the termination of the contract and the permanent deletion of the User’s account.

Without prejudice to the foregoing provisions, the User warrants and agrees to indemnify Toofrench.com upon first request against any damages incurred by Toofrench.com and against any liability claims brought against Toofrench.com arising from the User’s violation of any third-party rights, including those of another User of the Site.

ARTICLE 7 – Personal Data, Data Protection, and Civil Liberties

To enable Users to interact with one another, Toofrench.com collects, stores, and archives personal information about its Users. This data may include: their name, mailing address and/or email address, landline and/or mobile phone number, and their computer’s IP (Internet Protocol) address. Toofrench.com may share some of this information with certain partners, provided that no information enabling the identification of a specific User by name will be disclosed.

In accordance with Law No. 78-17 of January 6, 1978, on information technology, files, and civil liberties, and European Directive No. 95/46 of October 24, 1995, on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, Users registered on the Site have the right to object to, access, and correct data concerning them. Consequently, any User registered on Toofrench.com has the right to request that information concerning them be corrected, supplemented, updated, or deleted. If the request to delete information concerns elements necessary for the proper functioning of the User’s Account, the account must be deleted.

The request must be submitted in writing, including the applicant’s contact information and personal identification number, by mail to the address below:

Too French SAS
55, Impasse Mac Gaffey
34070 MONTPELLIER

The User acknowledges having been informed that the Site may use “cookies” to store certain information on their computer, and that they may opt out of the storage of these “cookies” by adjusting their web browser settings accordingly. Toofrench.com may offer Users the opportunity to participate in loyalty programs, marketing initiatives, or any other activities taking place on a third-party website or program. In such cases, Toofrench.com is not responsible for the actions or activities of these third parties and urges its visitors to carefully review the terms and conditions provided by them.

ARTICLE 8 – Advertising Campaigns

As part of advertising or promotional campaigns and in order to improve the effectiveness of the service it provides to its Users, Toofrench.com reserves the right to use certain content submitted by Users, such as their first names, photos, course content, and reviews. Thus, the information provided by Users (excluding personal contact details) is accessible via the website in the visitor area and member area, as well as through newsletters distributed by email. It is also accessible via any electronic means of communication (SMS, email, internet, MMS) or traditional media (press, radio, television) worldwide, provided the User has not objected or terminated their access to the service. The User’s personal contact information, however, is under no circumstances disclosed to anyone in any manner whatsoever. Users may request that Toofrench.com cease using their content for advertising/promotional purposes either by mail, by hiding their information in the member area, or by terminating their account.

ARTICLE 9 – Evidentiary Value

It is agreed between the participant and Toofrench.com that only the data stored on Toofrench.com’s computer systems shall be admissible as evidence regarding login details and information resulting from computer processing related to the service. Consequently, it is expressly agreed that Toofrench.com may rely on these elements, particularly in the event of a dispute or litigation, as evidence of any act, fact, or omission in order to assert its rights in court. These various elements constitute admissible, valid, and enforceable evidence between the parties regardless of their form or presentation.

Similarly, any action taken using the username and password assigned to a User following registration is irrefutably presumed to have been performed under the User’s responsibility.

ARTICLE 10 – Intellectual Property

The Website and all rights associated with it are the exclusive property of Toofrench.com.

Consequently, and without this list being exhaustive, all programs, trademarks, logos, illustrations, games, distinctive signs, text, sounds, videos, images, interfaces, screens, as well as these Terms of Use visible on Toofrench.com are protected by French copyright and intellectual and artistic property law and by international copyright conventions. Thus, any reproduction or representation of these elements not expressly authorized constitutes an infringement punishable by criminal penalties. The reproduction, disclosure, distribution, use, representation, modification, or any other form of unauthorized and/or unlawful exploitation, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, by any means and on any medium, whether similar or different, of the elements listed above, is subject to prior authorization from Toofrench.com. Failure to do so exposes any violator to relevant legal action by Toofrench.com, by the holders of exclusive rights assigned to Toofrench.com, or by affected third parties against the violator(s).

For their part, Users expressly authorize Toofrench.com to reproduce and distribute the information they provide on their page, account, listing, search criteria, and profile (information, description, images, etc.) on all or part of the Site and/or on any electronic communication medium, worldwide and for the entire duration of these Terms of Use between the User and Toofrench.com.

ARTICLE 11 – Assignment

This Service reserves the right to assign or transfer the rights and obligations set forth in these Terms of Use to any company of its choice.

ARTICLE 12 – Partial Invalidity

If one or more provisions of these Terms of Use are deemed invalid or declared as such pursuant to a law, regulation, or final decision of a competent court, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

ARTICLE 13 – GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION

Toofrench.com, the website, and these terms and conditions are governed by French law.

In the event of a dispute, the parties shall first make every effort to reach an amicable resolution. If the parties are unable to reach an amicable agreement, the courts of the jurisdiction where Toofrench.com has its registered office shall have exclusive jurisdiction, without exception.

Any dispute arising out of the interpretation, performance, or validity of this contract shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent court within the jurisdiction of the Court of Appeal of MONTPELLIER (34), notwithstanding multiple defendants or third-party claims.
