The Client undertakes not to make any statement likely to damage the image of A.S.O., of the Program and/or the Event.

The Client undertakes to observe strict confidentiality and shall refrain from disclosing to anyone, for any reason whatsoever, any information that may have come to their knowledge in the course of the Contract relating to the Program, to the Event or, more generally, A.S.O.

Any reference to the Program and/or to the Event as well as any use by the Client of the logo of the Event or of any other distinctive sign relating to the Event or to A.S.O. as well as any use of terms such as "Supplier", "Partner", "Sponsor" of the Program and/or the Event is strictly prohibited. Failure to comply with this provision may result in the immediate termination of the Contract and the immediate payment of compensation set at 1/10th of the sums stipulated in the Contract, without prejudice to any additional compensation that A.S.O. may be required to claim for the damages incurred.

6. Client liability and insurances

The Client shall be responsible, for the entire duration of the Contract, for all actions of themselves or their Guests on or around the site of the Program and/or the Event.

The Customer is liable for any damage, harm, deterioration or deterioration of the hospitality area that may be noted by A.S.O. after it has been made available to the Customer. Consequently, the Customer undertakes to reimburse A.S.O., upon first request and upon presentation of supporting documents, for all costs incurred by A.S.O. in restoring this area to its original condition.

The Customer must immediately inform A.S.O. of any incident, bodily injury and/or material damage of any kind occurring in this area.

Furthermore, the Client undertakes to take out, at its own expense, and to maintain in force throughout the term of the Contract, insurance covering its civil liability and that of the Guests for all types of damage, whether physical, material or immaterial, direct or indirect, caused by it or by the Guests, and to provide proof of such insurance to A.S.O. upon request.

Civil liability: in accordance with current legislation, A.S.O., in its capacity as organizer, has taken out insurance covering the financial consequences of its civil liability, that of its employees and that of all participants in each of the Events. With regard to the civil liability of Guests, the intervention of this insurance for the latter is limited to accidents that they may cause during the Event. This cover is in addition to, or in the absence of, any other insurance from which they may benefit. Proof can be provided to the Client on request.

Individual accident: each Guest may take out insurance, when registering for the Event, guaranteeing payment of a lump sum in the event of physical damage (death or permanent disability) due to an accident occurring on the Event course. Compensation, depending on the damage and the cover limits chosen, is paid if the insured is the victim of an accident while taking part in the Event for which the insurance has been taken out.

This insurance is optional but strongly recommended. It may be taken out in addition to, or as an alternative to, insurance of the same type held in particular via a sports license. The information leaflet and application form are available on the website of each Event. If the Customer wishes to take out individual accident insurance for all his Guests, the Client should contact the MARSH broker (assurances.aso@marsh.com).

Material Damage: A.S.O. declines all responsibility in the event of damage (theft, breakage, loss…) to the personal properties of the Guests during Program and/or the Event. The Client and/or Guests will therefore not be able to take legal action against A.S.O. for any damage caused to the said personal properties. It is therefore the responsibility of the Client and/or each Guest, if he considers it necessary, to take out insurance covering these risks.

7. Termination

In the event of a breach by the Client or the Guests of any of the obligations set out herein, the Contract may be terminated by A.S.O. as of right, without any legal formalities, after formal notice to remedy the breach has been served on the Client by any conclusive means remained unfruitful; and this without prejudice for A.S.O. to any claim for damages. This formal notice may be of the order of an hour, depending on the nature of the failure or breach.

8. Force Majeure

10. Intuitu personae

The Contract is concluded intuitu personae between the Parties. The Client's rights and obligations may not be assigned in whole or in part, delegated or transferred to a third party, by any means whatsoever, without A.S.O.'s express prior written consent.

11. Applicable law and jurisdictional competence

The Contract has been drawn up in French, which will in any event be considered to be the sole language of the Contract.

All of its provisions are governed by French law.

In the event of a dispute, an amicable solution will be sought before any legal action is taken by submitting a claim to A.S.O., by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt, within ten (10) days of the dispute arising.
