 The Site is free to access for any User with internet access. Any costs related to accessing the Site, be they equipment, software or internet access charges, lie solely with the User. They alone are responsible for the proper functioning of their computer equipment and internet access.

 CORE DE BALLET makes every reasonable effort to ensure quality access to the Site but has no obligation to do so. Furthermore, CORE DE BALLET may not be held responsible for any network or server disturbances or any other event which may prevent or hinder access to the Site. CORE DE BALLET reserves the right to interrupt, temporarily suspend or modify access to all or part of the Site without notice in order to carry out maintenance, or for any other reason, without incurring any obligations or being liable for any compensation as a result of the interruption.  

 CORE DE BALLET also reserves the right to modify its Site at any time without notice.

 CORE DE BALLET reserves the right to suspend or refuse access to the Site, without notice, for any User in breach of these General Terms and Conditions.

3.2 Opening and using an Account  

 To access the Site and Services offered by the Site, the User must complete a registration form with their personal information in order to identify them when they access their Personal Account. The User pledges to supply true, accurate and complete information on the form in question. Namely, the User pledges to refrain from creating a false identity or impersonating another from another company or registered trademark. The User pledges to update this information in the event of any change in circumstances. In the event that the User indicates untrue, inaccurate, misleading, incomplete or outdated information, CORE DE BALLET reserves the right to temporarily or permanently suspend or refuse access to all or part of its Services without notice or compensation.

 Three types of users can become Site members:

  •  a natural person aged 13 or over – it should be noted that, in the event of subscription to a pay-to-use package, as set out in article five, the User must be able to enter into a contractual agreement and therefore be an adult, otherwise they may only sign up with the permission of their legal representative;
  • a legal entity;
  • a non-profit association subject to the law of 1 July 1901.

 CORE DE BALLET reserves the right to ask any User to prove their identity and/or status by any means. If proof is not provided within ten days of the request, CORE DE BALLET reserves the right to temporarily or permanently suspend or refuse access to all or part of the Site and Services without notice or compensation.

 After completing the registration formalities, the User shall have a strictly personal and confidential login and password which must not be divulged to any third party. These login details allow Users to access their Personal Account which is unique to them.

 The password allows each User to log in and connect to the Site and Services. It is personal and confidential and may only be changed upon the request of the owner.

 Each User is fully responsible for the use of their password which they pledge to keep secret and not divulge in any form whatsoever to third parties. In the event of loss, theft or any fraudulent use of their password, the User must choose a new password. Thus, each User is solely responsible for the use of the Service under their login details. Any login or data transfer carried out while using the Services will be deemed to have been done by the User under their sole responsibility.

Furthermore, given that CORE DE BALLET is not bound nor has the technical means to verify the identity of users signing up to the Site, it may not be held responsible in the event of impersonation. If the User believes that somebody has fraudulently used their identity or login details for their Personal Account, they must notify CORE DE BALLET immediately.

 Finally, each User can delete their account at any time. The created content will then be deleted and not retained by CORE DE BALLET.

- encryption of transferred data with 'Secure Sockets Layer' (SSL) technology – the User's bank card details are encrypted by their own computer before transfer to the STRIPE server;

- no storage of confidential information: the User's bank card details (name, type of card, number and expiry date) are sent directly to the STRIPE server.

The latter checks the information sent to the relevant payment facility (Carte Bleue, Visa, etc.), then approves (or declines) the transaction without saving confidential information.

At no point does CORE DE BALLET take note of this information and it is never saved.

In accordance with MasterCard and VISA regulations, intended to make online bank card payments more secure, the Company CORE DE BALLET now requests STRIPE to check the User's identity during the bank card payment process on the CORE DE BALLET Site by sending a text message to the User.
