2. Purpose:

The purpose of these GTS is to describe the rights and obligations of Users and Subscribers in regard to the Services to which they subscribe.

By creating a Private Page, various Services offered by SQP may be obtained. Some of these Services are accessible free of charge with no further conditions; for other Services, called Shortfilmwire+ and reserved for Audio-visual and Cinema Professionals, fees apply.

SQP emphasizes that its only role is to provide Users and/or Subscribers with web communication resources and has no part in any discussions or relations that subscribers may engage in with one another after entering into contact by means of the resources provided on the Site.

The Services presented on the SQP site, likewise, are not to be considered on-demand audio-visual media services, since the audio-visual content is a secondary element, and its sole purpose is not to supply or distribute audio-visual content created by private users for purposes of sharing and exchange within communities of interest.

SQP makes no guarantee to the Subscriber for any sale, agreement or transaction of any kind made with any other Subscribers and/or Contact Persons listed.

Users and Subscribers furthermore recognize and accept that access to the Catalogue, Datasheets, and Films may be subject to certain use and/or access restrictions that may vary over time and may be outside the control of SQP, which cannot be held liable for these restrictions (including but not limited to withdrawal of consent by rights holders, legislative changes, etc.).

3. Website access conditions - Registration

Website access is open and free of charge, with the exception of Services requiring prior registration.

In order to subscribe to said Services (free and paid), the User must first accept these GTS and create a Private Page.

Only individuals qualified under the law and applicable regulations to enter a contract and be bound by it may use the Services offered by the Website. Minors under EIGHTEEN (18) years of age may not access the Website's services except under the supervision of a person with parental or tutelary authority (adult parent, father, mother, guardian, legal representative, etc.). In such case the accountable adult will be solely and fully liable for any act committed on the Website by the minor.

Paid Services, known as "shortfilmwire+", are accessible exclusively by Audio-visual Professionals, and SQP reserves the right to verify the professional qualifications of persons creating a Private Page.

3.1. Advance registration

Internet users will be asked to provide certain personal information, some of which is required for registration to continue. These include in particular an email address, username, profession, position, primary activity, landline and mobile phone numbers, company name and a password chosen by the Internet user. If this mandatory information is not provided, the Internet user's registration process will not be permitted to proceed.

Other information will be required to sign up for certain services and/or start a subscription (in particular for elements related to payment).

Other information can be provided voluntarily or optionally (such as consent to publish your address or phone number).

Web users undertake to provide true and accurate information about their situation, and to regularly verify and make any necessary changes to their data online on their Private Page.

SQP cannot be held liable for the submission of false information rendering impossible SQP's performance of its obligations.

In order to finalize their registration, Internet users must indicate their acceptance of the GTS by clicking the appropriate box.

SQP shall not be held liable in case of the erasure of data contained in the Private Page section due to an unforeseeable event, a technical failure or a case of force majeure, as this information has no probative value but is provided for illustrative purposes only.

3.2. Personal identifiers

When creating a Private Page, the Customer will choose a confidential user name and password. Users may change their passwords on their Private Page.

These identifiers are personal, confidential and non-transferable. Accordingly, the Subscriber undertakes not to disclose them to any third parties and will make any staff assigned to use the Services aware of the need to be particularly vigilant with regard to the confidentiality of the identifiers.

If Users disclose their credentials or use them in any manner contrary to their intended purpose, SQP may terminate the User's Private Page.

Users are solely responsible for any use of their login credentials by third parties, whether fraudulent or otherwise. The User shall therefore hold SQP harmless against any claims and/or actions grounded in the fraudulent or non-fraudulent use of the User's login credentials.

Under no circumstances shall SQP be held liable for any misappropriation of User login credentials, since it does not have the technical means to systematically verify everyone's identity. SQP nevertheless reserves the right to perform random checks.

If Users suspect that their login credentials may have been used fraudulently, they must immediately inform SQP so that it can terminate the compromised account.

If Users lose their password, they may request a password reset by clicking the "forgot password" link. A password reset link will then be sent to the User at his or her valid email address.

The provision of an invalid email address (or updating the email address on file on the User's Private Page with an invalid email address) will make it impossible to reset the password.

3.3. Termination of Private Page

SQP reserves the exclusive right to delete the account of any User who has contravened these GTS (in particular when the User has knowingly provided erroneous information upon signing up and creating his Private Page), or any Private Page that has been inactive for at least one year. Such deletion shall not be construed as constituting damages caused to the User, and Users may not claim any compensation for such deletion. Such termination shall not prejudice the right of SQP to take further legal action against the User when justified by the acts committed.

4. Rights and Obligations of Users and Subscribers

4.1. Free access to the Public Section of the Website

Internet users may browse the Website without creating Private Pages, and may access the basic features of the Website.

Internet users may access the entire Catalogue, but their access shall be limited (only the credits of the films, with positions, first and last names).

They may also access resources (video interviews, film stills, documents, educational resources) made available for open access.

Though this access is open and free of charge, it does require compliance with all rights and obligations corresponding to intellectual property and personal data rights.

4.2. Use of the basic Private Page

Opening a basic Private Page is also free of charge, and allows Users, professionals or otherwise, to enjoy the abovementioned Services, and furthermore to:

· create lists of Films
· rate Films
· share their Film lists and ratings

Professional Private Pages are also free of charge, and allow Professional Users to enjoy the abovementioned Services, and furthermore to:
- Modify their Contact data (allowing Contact Information to be changed across all Film datasheets and Participant files)

SQP will check the Professional status of Users that create Professional accounts, and reserves the right to delete any Professional Private Pages that no longer meet this criterion.

The Volunteer undertakes to fill in this form as fully and accurately as possible. Any false information may incur liability and/or prevent SQP from processing the request.
Filling out the form does not automatically lead to a Volunteer agreement, but rather is a request to volunteer. SQP reserves the right to decide whether or not to follow up on this request, depending on the criteria the applicant has set out and on SQP's needs.
Selected Volunteers will be informed by telephone and/or email and will be invited to sign a volunteer agreement directly with the Association.
Volunteers may also apply by contacting SQP directly. In this case, SQP will create a User Space for the Volunteer, who will be responsible for modifying his/her login and password.

6. Taking out a Subscription

Users who wish to subscribe to the Shortfilmwire+ Subscription Service may do so on their Private Page, by clicking "Subscribe to Shrotfilmwire+" and then entering their Professional status, selecting their means of payment and accepting these GTS by checking the box: "By checking this box I declare that I have read the General Terms of Sale."
After confirming their acceptance of the GTS, Users will then check their order summary and make any necessary changes before confirming the order by clicking on "Place order and commit to pay."
Users must then select their means of payment, and if making an online payment will be redirected to the Institution's interface, as described in the article on financial conditions.
Orders will be finalized only once the User has confirmed the order summary and SQP has received payment.
SQP reserves the right to refuse any User Subscription if the corresponding banking centres have refused payment for prior orders.

SQP will send the Subscriber a confirmation email once payment has been validated. Users may download their invoices on their Private Page, or may have them sent by post upon request, by writing to info@clermont-filmfest.org.

14.1. Severability and Non-Waiver

If any of the clauses of these GTS are rendered null or inapplicable by virtue of a law or regulation, or subsequent to an enforceable ruling issued by a court or a competent authority, the Parties agree expressly that these GTS will not be affected by any such nullification of clauses.
The non-enforcement against the User of any provision or term hereof by SQP, at any time, shall not be construed as constituting a definitive waiver of such provision or term. Consequently, SQP may at any time request the Reader's strict and complete compliance of the provisions and terms of these GTS.

14.2. Applicable law and jurisdiction

These GTS shall be governed by French law, to the exclusion of any other international conventions that may otherwise apply.
Unless otherwise provided by mandatory provision, the Court with jurisdiction at SQP headquarters shall be competent to adjudicate.

15. Authorisation for image rights

Participants are informed that by registering and more specifically by participating in the Festival, they agree to be photographed by journalists and/or photographers and/or videographers present at the Festival for informational and archival purposes, as well as for the promotion of the Festival on any medium, such as social media, internet, paper brochures, radio, cinema, within the framework of SQP's internal and external communication, both in France and internationally, for the purposes of its commercial, promotional or informational activity.

If the Participants refuse to be filmed and/or photographed, they must indicate this upon entering the Festival and make this clear to the photographers and videographers present. SQP will endeavour to remove any photos and/or videos as soon as possible after having been informed of objection. Nevertheless, the Participant is informed that in case of circulation/distribution of images on paper, SQP will not be able to withdraw the relevant photos, and this will not constitute a fault engaging the responsibility of the Festival.

This authorisation is granted free of charge for a period of twenty years, which may be extended annually unless notice of termination is given to SQP in writing three months before the end of the term.

The Participants acknowledge that:
• The photographs, videos and recordings made are the exclusive property of SQP for the durations and media referred to in this article.
• SQP shall have complete freedom in the choice of images, editing and any cuts to videos, photographs and any recordings made under these terms.
• This authorisation is given without financial consideration and Participants therefore waive the right to claim from SQP and from any authorised third party any remuneration or compensation for the use of their image under the conditions defined herein.
