Terms and Conditions

Last updated: November 23, 2022

Hey there! You're now venturing into the "fun zone" of our terms and conditions. It's all legit but with extra sprinkles of humor. For the nitty-gritty legal details, head over to our official version. Enjoy the read, and remember, the serious stuff's just a click away!


1. AGREEMENT TO TERMS

You agree that by accessing the Site, you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by all of these Terms of Use. If not, it’s like saying ‘I agree’ to install software updates without actually reading them (but please do read these!). If you don't agree, it's like swiping left on a dating app - it's just not a match, and you should discontinue use immediately.

2. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

Just like you wouldn't photocopy a friend’s tattoo for your own use, please don’t copy our stuff. It’s ours, and it’s protected – kind of like a dragon guarding its treasure.

3. USER REPRESENTATIONS

By using the Site, you promise us that your details are as accurate as a GPS location – no catfishing, please! And just like in the game of Monopoly, you agree to follow the rules or risk being sent to virtual 'jail' (aka access denied).

4. USER REGISTRATION

Alrighty, let's talk about the whole signing-up shebang. If you decide to join our exclusive club (aka registering on this super-duper website), remember to treat your password like the last slice of pizza at a party – keep it under lock and key! Choosing a username? Be creative, but keep it clean. And hey, we totally trust you to be the boss of your account. But, just a heads-up: if you pick a username that's kinda like a badly-behaved raccoon (inappropriate, grumpy, or just plain unsavory), we might have to step in and give it a makeover. This is a family-friendly show, and we reserve the right to turn down names that would make your grandma blush.So, choose wisely, like you would a superhero name!

5. PROHIBITED ACTIVITIES

Our website is like a treasure map, but it's not for your personal gold-digging escapades. We're all about good, clean fun here, so please:

  • No playing digital detective or assembling secret dossiers. That means don't go scraping our site to build your own private database. Our data is not treasure to be plundered, savvy?
  • No bamboozling us or other fellow voyagers. If you're trying to crack secret codes (like password hunting), you're walking the plank!
  • No monkeying around with our website's defenses. It’s like trying to sneak past a sleeping dragon. Just don't.
  • We're a friendly crew, so no trash-talking or tarnishing our shiny ship – let's keep the seven digital seas friendly!
  • Don't use our treasure map to hunt down others or make them walk the plank. Let's keep the swords sheathed, aye?
  • Our website isn't your personal battleship for commercial conquests. If you're planning a digital takeover or treasure hoarding, this isn’t the place.
  • Trying to reverse-engineer our website's magic? That's like trying to un-bake a cake. It's a no-go zone.
  • Our website's gears and cogs (like code and stuff) aren't for tinkering. They're set up just right to sail smoothly.
  • Don't be that sneaky pirate deploying robots and automated gadgets to do your dirty work.
  • And hey, if you're looking to barter or trade, do it somewhere else. Our ship isn’t a marketplace.

In short, stay cool, enjoy the ride, and keep it above board. Otherwise, you might just find yourself marooned on No-Access Island!

6. USER GENERATED CONTRIBUTIONS

We love seeing your contributions – just make sure they’re your own masterpiece, not someone else’s. Think of it as bringing a dish to a potluck; you wouldn’t just grab something from a restaurant on the way, right?

7. CONTRIBUTION LICENSE

When you post on our Site, it’s like putting a message in a bottle and setting it adrift in the digital ocean – you’re giving us permission to share it far and wide. But don't worry, we’ll always put your name on the label.

8. SUBMISSIONS

Got an idea or feedback? We’re all ears! Just remember, once you hit send, it’s like gifting us a mystery box – we get to keep and use the contents. We promise to handle your ideas with the same care as a secret family recipe.

9. THIRD-PARTY WEBSITE AND CONTENT

We’re like the tour guide of the Internet – we might point out interesting spots (third-party websites), but we’re not responsible if you decide to go off the beaten path and encounter something unexpected. Always pack your common sense!

10. ADVERTISERS

We’ve got space for ads, like billboards on a digital highway. If you’re advertising with us, make sure your billboard is sturdy and up to code – because you’re the one building it!

11. SITE MANAGEMENT

We’re the captain of this ship, and we’re responsible for keeping it afloat. That means we can change the course, add or remove crew members, or even abandon ship if we need to. But don’t worry, we’ll always give you a heads-up if we’re making any major changes.

We're not just the captains; we're like the swashbuckling pirates of the digital seas. But, instead of eye patches and parrots, we've got keyboards and code. If we spot someone not following the pirate's code (aka our terms), we might have to walk them off the plank – metaphorically speaking, of course.

Navigating through the choppy waters of the internet, we might have to adjust our sails – that means tweaking things here and there. And if someone's causing a ruckus in the lower decks (our site), we might just have to show them the gangplank. But fear not! We’re all about clear skies and smooth sailing, so we'll ring the bell loud and clear if big changes are on the horizon.

12. PRIVACY POLICY

We treat your data like a secret diary – we keep it under lock and key. Our Privacy Policy is the lock, and it’s a tough one to crack. Just know that by using our Site, you’re trusting us with your diary. We’re honored and won’t peek at your secrets.

13. COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENTS

Ahoy, mateys of creation and craft! We're all about respecting the treasure trove of creativity – yep, talking about intellectual property rights. If ye spot someone flying their Jolly Roger over your creative gold, fear not! Just send us a message in a bottle (or, you know, an email) with your official X marks the spot (that's your signature), a map of your creative treasure (description of your work), and where on our digital seas you've seen your bounty being plundered. Don't forget to include your pigeon post address (or just your regular address, phone, and email). Swear on your parrot that you're telling the truth, and we'll take it from there. We don't take kindly to creative pirates, and we'll send them to Davy Jones' Locker (aka remove their stuff or shut down their account) if they keep up their scallywag ways. Arrr!

14. TERM AND TERMINATION

We hope our relationship lasts longer than most celebrity marriages, but if we need to break up (i.e., terminate your access), we promise not to do it via text message.

15. MODIFICATIONS AND INTERRUPTIONS

Think of our site as a magical, ever-shifting labyrinth. One day you might find a shiny new section, the next day a familiar path might be gone – poof! Like a wizard with a fickle wand, we might change, vanish, or spruce up parts of our digital maze without a whisper of warning. Don't get us wrong, we love keeping our labyrinth enchanting, but sometimes even wizards need a break. So, if you find yourself at a dead end or staring at a 'Closed for Magic Maintenance' sign, remember: it's all part of the mystical charm. And hey, if you trip over a loose spell or two (aka glitches), just know our magic is a work in progress. Abracadabra!

16. GOVERNING LAW

Alright, let's waltz through the legal ballroom for a moment. Our rules are choreographed to the elegant tunes of French law, so we're all about that 'ooh la la' legal flair. But here's the twist: if you're cozying up in the EU, you get an extra layer of consumer cha-cha-cha protection, courtesy of your own country's dance steps. And when it comes to solving any toe-stepping issues (legal disputes, that is), we'll be doing the legal tango in the grand ballrooms of Alpes-Maritimes courts. So, if you need to defend your rights, you can do so either under the glittering chandeliers of France or in your own local legal dancehall. Just remember, it's all about grace, poise, and a little bit of legal razzle-dazzle!

17. DISPUTE RESOLUTION

If we hit a snag and end up in a dispute, we call an arbitrator, like a referee in a high-stakes game, following the European Court of Arbitration's rules. The match? It's in Nice, France, and we're chatting in English. But here's the twist: big issues like copyright clashes or privacy puzzles skip the arbitrator and head straight to court. No team fights or class-action battles allowed; it's a one-on-one legal showdown. So, if our plan doesn't fit the law, we'll see you in court for the grand legal spectacle!

18. CORRECTIONS

Guess what? Sometimes our fingers slip, and we might goof up on the details—typos, a wonky price tag, or the occasional 'whoops, that's not available!' But hey, we're on it! We can flip the script, fix those oopsies, and update info on the fly. No heads-up, no 'Dear diary' entries, just ninja-style updates. So, if you spot something quirky, enjoy the chuckle and know we're already on the case!

19. DISCLAIMER

Think of us as a GPS: we’re here to guide you, but we can’t promise there won’t be roadblocks or traffic. Our Site is like the road – it can get bumpy, and sometimes there are detours (errors and bugs). Drive safely!

20. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

In the unlikely event that using our Site turns your hair green or transports you to an alternate universe, we’re sorry, but we can’t be held responsible. (But do send us a postcard from the alternate universe!)

21. INDEMNIFICATION

Alright, here's the deal: If you stir up some trouble on our site (like breaking our rules, stepping on someone's virtual toes, or starting a digital food fight), and someone decides to take it to court, you've got to cover our backs. That means if there's a legal kerfuffle because of something you did (or didn't do), you're the superhero who swoops in to save the day – and the legal fees. We're talking about defending us, our team, and even that intern who makes fantastic coffee. And if things get really spicy, we might jump in and take the reins, but you'll still need to foot the bill. So, let's all play nice and keep our legal capes tucked away, shall we?

22. USER DATA

We'll keep some of your data on file to make sure our site doesn't turn into a digital pumpkin at midnight. Think of it like us being the DJ, keeping the beats (aka the site) running smoothly. But here's the thing – if you bring your own tunes (I mean, data) to the party and they go poof, that's on you. We do our best with backups, but we're not digital superheroes. So if your data decides to take an unexpected vacation, don't shoot the messenger – that's us, by the way. Keep a backup of your backup, and let's keep the party going!

23. ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS, TRANSACTIONS, AND SIGNATURES

When you visit our site, send us an email, or fill out our online forms, it's like we're chatting via cyberspace. By hanging out here, you're giving us the thumbs up to talk electronically. Think of it like getting texts instead of snail mail. It's all official, even if it doesn't involve ink and paper. So, when you see an electronic signature, contract, or a digital thumbs-up from us, it's just as legit as the old-school stuff. Just imagine us in a virtual world, shaking hands and sealing deals with pixels and bytes. Cool, right? And hey, you're totally cool with this, right? Because, in our book, pixels are the new paper!

24. MISCELLANEOUS

This page – yes, this one with all the fancy terms and legal mumbo jumbo – is the grand master agreement between you and us. It's like the ultimate rulebook for our online playground. Now, just because we might not flex our legal muscles at every twist and turn doesn't mean we're giving up our rights. Nope, we're just being cool.

And here's the thing: we're playing by the book, the whole book, and nothing but the book. Sometimes, we might pass the baton to someone else or face stuff that's out of our hands (like alien invasions or coffee spills on our server... just kidding, sort of).

Now, imagine you find a rule here that's as out-of-place as a penguin in the Sahara – don't sweat it. That part can take a hike without messing up the rest. And nope, just by using the site, we're not automatically business partners, job buddies, or secret agents.

And hey, just because we wrote these rules doesn’t mean we get all the advantages. Think of it as us playing a fair game of digital dodgeball. No secret weapons, just clear rules. Lastly, you're totally cool with all this digital jazz, right? No old-school ink signatures needed – we're all modern here. So, grab your virtual pen, and let’s make it official!
