10. RESPONSIBILITIES

General principles
In the context of the provision of SERVICES and the provision of the PLATFORM, Master the Monster (“MTM”) will only be bound by an obligation of means.
The USER may engage the liability of Master the Monster (“MTM”) as soon as it has previously notified by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt of the alleged breach and Master the Monster (“MTM”) has not replied within thirty (30) days of receipt of this formal notice. In any event, it is recalled that Master the Monster’s (MTM) liability may only be sought in the event of proven fault.

It is recalled that Master the Monster (“MTM”) will remain a third party to the contract concluded directly between the BRAND and the PRODUCER and cannot therefore be held liable for the execution of the latter.
In addition, Master the Monster (“MTM”) cannot be held liable under any circumstances:
in the event that it is impossible to temporarily access the PLATFORM for technical maintenance or updating of published information. The USERS acknowledge that Master the Monster (“MTM”) cannot be held liable in the event of malfunctions or interruptions in the said transmission networks or in the computer equipment of the USERS of the PLATFORM;
in case of viral attacks;
in the event of abnormal use or illegal exploitation of the PLATFORM; with regard to the content of third party websites to which hyperlinks from the PLATFORM refer;
in the case of non-compliance with these T&Cs attributable to USERS;
in the case of delay or non-performance of its obligations, when the cause of the delay or non-performance is linked to a case of force majeure as defined by the case law of the French courts and tribunals;
in the case of a foreign cause not attributable to Master the Monster (“MTM”);
in the event of unlawful action by a PRODUCER or a BRAND, or of contractual non-performance of which a PRODUCER or a BRAND has been guilty.

With regard to SERVICES, Master the Monster (MTM) draws the attention of USERS to the fact that current communication protocols via the Internet do not allow for the secure and continuous transmission of electronic exchanges (messages, documents, identity of the sender or recipient). Master the Monster (“MTM”) thus declines any responsibility in the event of loss of data, intrusions, viruses, service failure or other problems unrelated to the PLATFORM. Moreover, due to the very nature of the Internet network (interconnection of a multitude of independent players), no one can guarantee the overall functioning of end-to-end networks. Master the Monster (“MTM”) can therefore under no circumstances be held liable for any damages of any kind for which it is not directly responsible. In no event shall Master the Monster (“MTM”) be liable, regardless of the type of action brought, for indirect damages of any kind, for example, and without the list being exhaustive, any financial or commercial loss, loss of profit, commercial disturbance, loss of profits, loss of profits, loss of profits, loss of a third party, or action brought b y a third party against the USER and their consequences, related to the present or their execution. The USER is solely responsible for any damages, direct or indirect, material or immaterial, caused by himself to Master the Monster (“MTM”) or to third parties as a result of it use of the SERVICES.

11. FORCE MAJEURE

Master the Monster (“MTM”) may not be held liable, or considered to have failed to comply with these T&Cs, for any delay or non-performance, when the cause of the delay or non-performance is related to a case of force majeure as defined by the case law of the French courts and tribunals, including in particular in the event of an attack by computer hackers, the unavailability of equipment, and any interruption, suspension, reduction or disturbance of electricity or other, or any interruption of electronic communications networks, as well as in the event of the occurrence of any circumstance or event beyond the control of Master the Monster (“MTM”) occurring after the conclusion of the TOU and preventing its performance under normal conditions. It is specified that, in such a situation, the USER may not claim any compensation and may not bring any action against Master the Monster (“MTM”). In the event of any of the above-mentioned events, Master the Monster (“MTM”) will endeavour to inform the USER as soon as possible.

As such, the PRODUCER guarantees to MTM that it processes these data in compliance with the rights and obligations arising from the law “Informatique et Libertés”.
It is therefore expressly agreed between the Parties that MTM, in the context of the processing operations carried out by the PRODUCER, will use all means in its possession to ensure the security and confidentiality of the personal data entrusted to it.

13. VALIDITY OF T&C

If any of the provisions of these T&C are declared null and void with regard to a legislative or regulatory provision in force and/or a court decision having the force of res judicata, they shall be deemed unwritten but shall in no way affect the validity of the other provisions which shall remain fully applicable.

No indication or document may create an obligation not included in these T&Cs unless it is the subject of a new agreement between the Parties. The fact that either Party has not required the application of any clause of these T&Cs, whether permanently or temporarily, shall in no event be considered a waiver of such clause.
In the event of any difficulty of interpretation between any of the titles appearing at the beginning of the clauses, and any of them, the titles shall be declared non-existent.

16. JURISDICTION AND APPLICABLE LAW

THESE GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF USE ARE GOVERNED BY FRENCH LAW. IN THE EVENT OF A DISPUTE, ONLY THE BETTING COURTS WILL BE COMPETENT.
Master The Monster (“MTM”) draws the attention of USERS to the fact that any dispute arising between a BRAND and a PRODUCER will eventually have to be handled by the PRODUCER, who remains solely responsible for the production of the project via the PLATFORM.
In the event of disputes between PRODUCER and BRAND, the BRAND is invited to contact MTM Customer Service at this address support@mtm.video. MTM will forward the complaint to the PRODUCER concerned, who will be solely responsible for handling the dispute. Master The Monster (“MTM”) may only, if necessary, act as a mediator.
