The Administrator who does not accept such changes shall opt-out of the Paying Subscription before the end of the current Subscription Period.

7.4     An Administrator who wishes to use a coupon must inform it on the Platform prior to the payment of a Subscription in order to receive the special terms of use applicable to the Coupon on the said Subscription.

7.5     No right of withdrawal

7.6     Term

A Subscription may be taken for a period of one month or one year (or any other term depending on the offers offered on the Site and/or the Application), at the discretion of the Administrator at the time of payment (the “Subscription Period”).

7.7     Renewal and termination of a Subscription

If an Administrator has subscribed to a Subscription, the payment to SportEasy shall be automatically renewed at the end of each Subscription Period unless the Administrator terminates the Subscription via the Subscription page accessible on the Platform before the end of the current Subscription Period.

SportEasy will send a reminder to the Administrator for this purpose one (1) month before the end of the Subscription Period.

If the Administrator refuses to renew the Subscription automatically, the Subscription will end the day after the last day of the current Subscription Period and the Organization will be downgraded to a free Subscription.

However, if an Administrator cancels a Subscription and/or terminates these ToU after the expiry of the probationary period (if any) and/or before the end of the Subscription Period, SportEasy shall not reimburse the Subscription fees already paid.

The Administrator acknowledges that uninstalling the Application or the removing of its Account and/or Area attached to the Organization shall not affect the renewal of the Subscription.

Consequently, the Administrator is responsible for terminating the Subscription in accordance with the ToU.

7.8     Termination at the initiative of SportEasy.

Without prejudice to any damages that SportEasy may request, SportEasy reserves the right to automatically terminate, without prior notice or indemnity, the Subscription and/or an Ad Hoc Service of an Organization, as well as the access of its Members to the Platform for, in particular:

• any breach of the ToU;
• the provision of false information at the time of registration;
• any actions contrary to SportEasy’s commercial interests.

The termination at SportEasy’s initiative shall not result in any compensation or reimbursement for paid Subscriptions. All sums paid under this Subscription shall remain definitively acquired by SportEasy.

In the absence of any contrary information provided by the Administrator, the computerized records, kept in SportEasy’s computer systems and its Partners under reasonable security conditions, shall be considered as evidence of communications, orders, validations, and payments made between the Administrator and SportEasy. Such information shall be authentic, unless proven in writing and otherwise by the Administrator. The archiving of these elements is carried out on a reliable and durable medium in order to correspond to a reliable copy in accordance with Article 1379 of the French Civil Code.
