Updated on December 01, 2022

Livelocal is a platform allowing to connect individuals (the " Visitors" ) with leisure and tourism activities providers (the " Providers "), in order to order local services at the place of vacations, in France (the " Services ").

This matchmaking service (the " Service "), accessible from the website www.livelocal.fr (the " Site "), is provided by B.A.I. Bretagne Angleterre Irlande, a public limited company with a board of directors and a supervisory board with a capital of €22,831,056, whose registered office is located at Port de Bloscon, 29680 Roscoff, registered under number 927 250 217 with the Brest Trade and Companies Registry (the " Company ").

These General Terms of Service (the " General Terms ") consist of: 

• General Terms and Conditions of Use (" GTCU "), which govern the relationship between the Company on the one hand, and the Visitors and Providers (the " Users ") on the other hand, and specify the operation and conditions of the Service offered by the Company via the Site;
• Additional Terms and Conditions applicable to Service Providers, which more specifically govern the relationship between the Company and Service Providers, supplementing the TOU;
• General Terms and Conditions of Sale, which govern the sale of Services made through the Service between Visitors and Providers. 

In the General Terms and Conditions, words defined and beginning with a capital letter may be used either in the singular or in the plural.

I. GENERAL CONDITIONS OF USE 

The purpose of these Terms of Use is to govern the relationship between the Company and the Users. They detail the operation and conditions of the Service offered by the Company via the Site.  

Sales of Services made through the Service between Visitors and Providers are governed by the GTCs, which are separate from these GTCs.

The relationship between the Company and the Providers is governed by these TOU and the Providers TOU. 

1. Acceptance of the T&Cs 

By accessing this Site and/or using the Services, the User is deemed to accept without reservation the present general conditions of use and more generally all applicable legal and regulatory provisions.

The publisher of the Site reserves the right to update the present general conditions of use at any time. The publisher therefore invites all users to visit this page each time they consult the site in order to take note of them.

The User undertakes to read these GTUs carefully when accessing the Site and is invited to download them, print them and keep a copy.

2. Description of the Service and role of the Company

The Service is made up of a set of tools allowing the connection, by electronic way, of the Visitors, consumers, and the Providers, professionals, with a view to the sale of Services.

Transactions made via the Service for the purpose of selling the Services are concluded directly between the Visitor and the Provider. 

Offers for Services and all information on prices and descriptions of Services are made exclusively by the Providers. 

The provisions of the Civil Code relating to the law of obligations and civil liability(https ://www.legifrance.gouv.fr/codes/id/LEGITEXT000006070721/) are applicable to the contractual relationship between Visitors and Providers. 

The Company is in no way a Provider. As an online platform operator, the Company's role is limited to providing the Service and facilitating interactions between Users. The Company is not a party to the service contracts concluded directly between the Providers and the Visitors. 

The Company is not a travel agency, nor an insurer, nor an organizer or retailer of tour packages under Directive (EU) 2015/2302. 

3. Access to the Service

1. Create an account

Access to the Service is subject to the opening of an account on the Site. 

Users agree to provide accurate, truthful and up-to-date information. They also undertake to check their data regularly to ensure that it is accurate.

Only one account can be created per User. 

It is User's responsibility to maintain the confidentiality and security of User's credentials. User agrees to notify Company immediately if User suspects that User's credentials have been lost, stolen, or that User's account has been otherwise compromised. User is responsible for all activities that occur under User's account, unless User has not authorized such activities and is otherwise negligent (e.g., by failing to report unauthorized use or loss of User's credentials).

In case of loss, misappropriation or fraudulent use of the login and/or password, the User agrees to immediately notify Customer Service at the address indicated in Article 5.5 of the GCU.

2. Registration as a Visitor

Access to the Service by Visitors is reserved for strictly personal use. When using the Service, the Visitor declares that he is acting in a private capacity.

Registration as a Visitor is only permitted for natural persons who are eighteen (18) years of age or older, who have reached the age of majority in their country of residence and who guarantee that they are consumers as defined by the regulations. 

The Visitor may unsubscribe and close his Visitor account at any time by unsubscribing directly on the Site. 

3. Registration as a Provider

The Provider is a professional who can be a natural or legal person. 

The Provider must be established in France and offer services in France.

In order to validate its registration, the Provider must provide the Company, via the Website, with a certain number of supporting documents depending on its status.

4. Service Fees

Access to the Site and the Service is free for Visitors.

The use of the Service by the Providers is subject to a commission as defined in the Providers TOS. 

Internet connection costs are the responsibility of each User.

5. No guarantee of availability

The Company does not guarantee the availability or uninterrupted accessibility of the Site. The Company may restrict the availability of all or part of the Site or certain of its features without notice at any time and for any reason related to the general operation of the Site, including to maintain the security or integrity of the Site or to perform maintenance. The Company may also decide to modify the features and functionalities of the Site.

4. Operation of the Service

1. Consultation and ranking of the offers of Services

Visitors can consult lists of suggested Services offered by the Providers. 

Depending on the Visitor's search, the Service offers displayed correspond to the search parameters indicated by the Visitors.

By default, the offers appearing on the result pages are classified according to an algorithm based on the relevance of the offers with regard to the Visitor's search and, where applicable, the filters chosen by the Visitor.

The Visitor can modify this default classification by selecting a sorting criterion.

2. Ordering Services

The Site allows Visitors to place an order for Services offered by Providers via the Site (the " Order ").  

All Orders shall be governed by the T&Cs.   

All the offers of Services are created and filled in by the Company. The Providers are solely responsible for the proofreading of the description provided, the conformity of the Services and the determination of the selling price. The price is inclusive of all taxes except for any local taxes. The latter are added before the validation of the Order. 

The Company recommends that Visitors carefully read the GTC and the description of the Services and check the content of the Order. 

It is the Visitor's responsibility to verify that he (and any person accompanying him) meets the minimum age, competence, aptitude or other requirements necessary for the proper performance of the Event. The Visitor is responsible for informing the Provider of his or her state of health or physical condition, or of any other circumstance that could have an impact on his or her ability to participate in the Event.

The Company is in no way responsible for the Visitor's failure to comply with the indications specified by the Service Providers in their offer of Services and/or during the contact with the Service Provider.

3. Payment of Benefits

The Visitor must pay for all Services at the time of the Order. 

The accepted method of payment for any Order is by credit card.

All Orders are subject to a payment receipt that is sent to the Visitor by email to the address provided.

The Service Provider will receive the price of the Order (minus the Commission due to the Company) at the end of the Service and its validation by the Visitor. The Visitor has 48 working hours to confirm the proper execution of the Service or to make a claim. In the absence of a claim, a credit note is established and issued by the Company in the name and on behalf of the Provider. The Service Provider will receive the amount due to him.

In the event of a claim, the sums will be blocked until the claim is processed. None of the sums collected in the name and on behalf of the Provider shall carry any interest. 

The Visitor warrants that he is fully entitled to use the means of payment for the payment of his Order and that his means of payment provide access to sufficient funds to cover all costs resulting from the Order. In the event that the bank refuses to accept payment at the time the Order is placed, the Order will not be validated and the Visitor will be notified of the cancellation of the transaction by sending an e-mail. 

For the management of payments, the Company uses the services of the payment service provider Stripe Connect (the " PSP "), which manages the various payments and financial flows in the context of the operation of the Service. The Company does not handle and never has possession of any funds paid and/or due to Users (except for commissions due to the Company).

Users' banking and payment information passes directly through the PSP's bank servers and is subject to a security system that uses the SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) protocol to encrypt payment card details. This system guarantees the Visitor total confidentiality of his banking information. The Visitor's bank details are not stored electronically by the Company or the Service Provider. No credit card number is therefore stored on the Company's computer servers.

4. Modification and cancellation of a Service

The sales contract being established between the Visitor and the Provider, the modification and cancellation policy is at the Provider's discretion.

For each Service, the conditions of modification and cancellation are specified by the Provider in the description of the Service on the Website.

5. Evaluation of the Services and advice  

The Company provides Visitors with the means to evaluate the Providers and the Services once the Services have been completed.

The assessment is carried out according to evaluation criteria and by awarding stars.

Visitors also have the possibility to publish reviews of the Services. 

Visitors undertake to comment and evaluate the Providers and the Services objectively.

No consideration is provided for this notice.

The Company does not control a priori the opinions of Visitors published on the Site and, consequently, cannot be held responsible for them.

The notices may be subject to a posteriori moderation to ensure compliance with these Terms and Conditions.

The Company reserves the right, without having to provide justifications, to remove at any time notices that are clearly not in accordance with the spirit of the Site or with these General Conditions.

In the event that a review is moderated or deleted, the Company will notify the Visitor by email so that the Visitor can publish it again by modifying the elements that do not comply. The Company reserves the right to contact a Visitor in case of need to verify a review.

6. Customer Service

For any request relating to the use of the Service or in case of difficulty with an Order, the Visitor may contact the Company at the following e-mail address contact@livelocal.fr

The Company shall not be liable for any comments made during exchanges and communications between a Visitor and a Provider, whether within or outside the Site.

The availability of appointments for Services is checked in real time by computer. Consequently, the Services are blocked by computer.

It is expressly stipulated that the Company shall in no way be held liable, in any way whatsoever, in the event that the Visitors' computer equipment or electronic mailbox rejects, for example due to an anti-spam system, the electronic mail sent by the Company.

II. ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS APPLICABLE TO PROVIDERS

The purpose of these Terms and Conditions of Service is to provide a more specific framework for the relationship between the Company and the Service Providers, by supplementing the Terms and Conditions of Service.  

1. Status of the Provider

The Service Provider carries out its activity under the status of a micro-enterprise (auto-entrepreneur) or via a company duly registered in the Trade and Companies Register. 

The Service Provider is solely responsible for complying with the applicable legal provisions regarding the conditions of practice for the provision of its Services (in particular with regard to the protection of consumer rights), as well as the proper completion of all administrative, fiscal or social formalities and all payments of contributions, taxes or duties of any kind that are incumbent upon it, if any, in relation to its use of the Service.

He/she further certifies that he/she holds all insurance, diplomas and other authorizations allowing him/her to provide the Services offered through the Service.

The Company recommends that Providers obtain appropriate insurance for the Services offered, and the Company suggests that Providers carefully read the terms and conditions of the policy, including the terms of coverage and exclusions. 

2. Autonomy and independence

The Company and the Service Provider conduct their business on a completely independent basis, each bearing the risks of its activity. The Service Provider is not and has never been an employee of the Company. There is no relationship of subordination between the Service Provider and the Company. The Company is neither a recruiter, nor an employer, nor a temporary employment agency, nor a temporary work company.

Each Provider is free to set the price of its Services and to organize its Services as it sees fit, according to its availability, and the frequency and intensity it chooses. 

The Provider is not subject to any exclusivity obligation towards the Company and the Company does not guarantee any minimum activity. The Provider is free to use other platforms, to develop its business by any other means or to provide services to its own customers.

3. Commitments of the Provider

1. Publication and management of offers of services

The Website provides tools that allow the Provider to easily configure and manage its Services offers. The Company provides the Service Provider with a dedicated space on the Website allowing it to communicate its terms and conditions to Visitors. The Provider may use this space to communicate to the Visitors, in particular, the information prior to the provision of a service, as provided for in Articles L. 221-5 and L. 221-6 of the Consumer Code.

In particular, Provider's offer must include complete and accurate information about the Service(s), the conditions for participation (such as minimum age, skill requirements or fitness level), all information necessary for safe participation (such as dress code, equipment, special certifications or approvals, etc.), the conditions for modification and cancellation, the price of the Service, any other fees such as in-person fees and any regulations or requirements that apply to Visitors or the Service(s).), the terms of modification and cancellation, the price of the Service(s), any other fees such as in-person fees, and any regulations or requirements that apply to Visitors or the Service(s). The Provider is responsible for its own acts and omissions, and for the updating and accuracy of the information in the Service offering (including its calendar availability dates) and its content (such as photos) at all times. 

The program of the Service must be clear, complete and accurate, so that Visitors know exactly what to expect at the time of the Order. 

Certain Services are not permitted on the Site. This includes: 

• Services with sexual connotations
• Services considered illegal under French law
• Gambling services
• The services falling within the definition of tourist packages as provided for in Article L.211-1 of the Tourism Code

Prior to publication, the Service offering is evaluated by the Company according to the criteria of the Service Provider TOU, and must continue to meet these criteria to remain on the Site. If a Service offering does not meet these criteria, the offering or the associated account may be restricted, suspended or deleted from the Website. 

2. Quality

The Service Provider undertakes to implement all means in order to optimally satisfy its obligations by offering and delivering a quality Service to Visitors.

To this end, he undertakes to respond to e-mails, calls and messages from the Company's Customer Service as well as to e-mails, calls and messages from Visitors within one (1) business day of their receipt, in the language initially used by the Visitor or, failing that, in English.

All exchanges between the Provider and the Company are strictly confidential. The Provider therefore undertakes not to disclose the content of these exchanges to a third party.

3. Cancellation of Services

Cancellations disrupt travelers' plans and can undermine their confidence in the Service. Therefore, Providers must make every effort to fulfill all confirmed Orders. If a Provider encounters an unforeseen event that prevents it from fulfilling an Order, it must cancel the Order as soon as possible to allow the Visitor to modify his or her plans.

Where applicable, the following penalties may be applied: 

• After 3 cancellations, regardless of the timing and reason, the Provider's account may be suspended until the Provider justifies each cancellation to the Company
• Suspension or cancellation of Services in case of non-compliance with the General Conditions
• Cancellation of current or confirmed reservations in case of damage or risk of damage to the health and physical or moral integrity of the Visitors. 

4. Non-Circumvention

The remuneration that the Company receives for the Service is collected through Commissions. The Company only receives these Commissions when a Visitor pays a Provider via the Site.

The Service Provider shall therefore refrain from developing, directly or indirectly, on its own behalf or on behalf of a third party, any act of competition or misappropriation against the Company concerning Visitors. In particular, the Service Provider is expressly prohibited from :

• promote directly or indirectly, in any form whatsoever (in particular by inserting hyperlinks, any message in the description of the Services or by using the URL address of its website in its login or on the Provider page) its Services, as well as those of any other person;
• submit proposals or solicit Visitors to contract outside the Site;
• accept Visitors' proposals to contract, invoice or pay outside the Site. 

This obligation is essential for the Company. In case of non-compliance by the Provider, the Provider will be required to pay the Company a penalty equal to the amount received for the performance of the Services outside the Site. In addition, the Provider will be removed from the Site.

1. Description of the Services

Each Service is described in detail on the Site.

2. Availability of Services 

The availability of a Service is specified at the time of the Order placed by the Visitor. This information is given as an indication. The Service Provider does not guarantee in any way this information, as availability may not have been updated in real time. In such a situation, the Provider will contact the Visitor within forty-eight (48) hours in order to propose a new appointment slot.

The Visitor may check and modify his Order at any time before its confirmation. 

After confirming the content of the Order and accepting his obligation to pay for the Order, the Visitor shall definitively validate his Order by his actual payment.

Where applicable, the corresponding amount will be reimbursed to the Visitor's means of payment entered at the time of the Order, as soon as possible.

8. Problems related to the Benefit and reimbursement

7. Retention of the contract 

The Company keeps and archives for 10 years the reservation contracts with a value of 120 euros or more, and guarantees access to them at any time to the Visitors.
