Preamble

Web2day is an event to be organised in Nantes by the ATLANTIC 2.0 Association as described in the document entitled “Legal Notices” which is accessible via the dedicated website located at www.web2day.co (hereafter, the “Site”) and offering conferences, workshops, showcases, startup competitions and concerts around the theme of innovation in the digital sector (hereafter, the “Event”).

The dates and fees applicable to the Event are specified on the Site.

The Site is a platform that allows the sale and purchase of tickets for the Event (hereafter referred to as a “Pass”), issued by the ATLANTIC 2.0 Association.

The general terms and conditions governing the sale of tickets for the Event (hereafter “this Agreement”) are entered into, in the first party, by the ATLANTIC 2.0 Association and, in counterparty, the Customer and/or the Participant as defined hereafter. It is specified that this Agreement shall not apply to any order placed on an ad hoc basis.

The “Customer” shall mean any person who identifies him or herself as such and who wishes to purchase one or more Passes for the Event via the Site.
The Customer, as a consumer or otherwise dealing other than in the course of business, is entitled in such capacity to specific rights set out, in particular, in the French Code of Consumer Law. The Customer acknowledges that these rights may not apply if reservations made via the site are entered into in the course of a business.
The Customer represents that he or she is a natural person and aged at least 18 years old and has full legal capacity or is the holder of parental authorisation entitling him or her to make a reservation on the Site. The Participant is the person registered for the Event by the Customer.

The Legal Notices available on the Site also apply to this Agreement, and each and every one of these documents is binding on the Customer and the Participant.

This Agreement shall enter into force with effect from 14 December 2016.
ATLANTIC 2.0 may modify this agreement at any time in order to take account of any legislative change or change in interpretation or court ruling applicable to e-commerce and/or to take into account any technical change or evolution of the Site.

1 – Scope

The purpose of this Agreement is to set out the terms and conditions governing any purchase of a Pass for the Event on the Site by the Customer.

Internet users who are not resident in France and who wish to place an order via the Site must verify whether the law that applies to them permits them to engage in transactions of this nature. The existence of the Site shall not be deemed to be an act of solicitation but instead any transaction shall be deemed to be a contract entered into at a distance.

2 – Presentation of Passes on the Site

2.1 – The ATLANTIC 2.0 Association has provided for a range of different options for attending the Event via a variety of different Passes. The various categories of Pass are described on the Site.

2.2 – The Pass is solely valid for the Event to which it relates, on the date and at the time, and subject to the conditions specified on the ticket. This ticket must be retained until the end of the Event.

3 – Ordering of Passes

3.1 – Conclusion of the Sale – Two Clicks
The contract for sale is validly concluded when, once Customer has elected the Passes, the Customer has firstly provided valid contact details for the Participant (the first click) and has been given the opportunity to read and accept the general terms and conditions of sale set out in his Agreement and has verified the content of the order (the selected Pass(es) and their price(s)), and has corrected any errors that may have occurred by way of the second click in accordance with the provisions of Articles 1369-1 to 1369-6 of the French Civil Code.
The two-click process shall be deemed to be consent on the part of the Customer and gives rise to liability for the sums due on purchase of the Pass(es) by the Customer.
In accordance with Article L221-14 of the Consumer Law Code, any order confirmed by the second click gives rise to an obligation of payment.

3.2 – Confirmation of the formation of a binding contract
An electronic mail message incorporating the terms and conditions of sale set out in this Agreement shall be sent to the Customer’s e-mail address in order to confirm that the contract has been concluded by way of a durable medium. Such e-mail shall contain all elements forming part of the general obligation to inform as specified in Articles L221-5 and L221-11 et seq. of the French Consumer Law Code.

The Customer is consequently strongly advised to retain this e-mail as proof of receipt.
For any question relating to the order, the Customer may contact the ATLANTIC 2.0 Association by electronic mail at the following address: contact@web2day.co

3.3 – Delivery of Passes
The Customer and the Participants shall receive an e-mail enabling them to download their Passes via the link provided.
Participants are responsible for printing their own Passes.
In the event that any Pass is lost, stolen, or used without authorisation, there is no way to establish the authenticity of a home-printed Pass with certainty. Only the first person to present a ticket or any copy thereof shall be admitted to the premises where the Event takes place. Such person is presumed to be the legitimate bearer of the ticket. The ATLANTIC 2.0 Association shall not be held liable in this regard. In the event that the holder of a home-printed ticket is refused access to the premises where the Event takes place, such person shall not be entitled to any refund of the price paid.

3.4 – Proof of Transaction
The electronic data records, retained in the computer systems of the ATLANTIC 2.0 Association and its service provider under reasonable security conditions shall be deemed proof of communications, transactions, orders, and payments as between the Parties.
