By using the Websites and Applications and the related services provided by BC, the User agrees to the application of these Terms and Conditions of Use and the BC Privacy and Cookies Policy. Likewise, the User fully waives the application of his/her own terms and conditions, if any. If the User does not agree to these General Terms and Conditions of Use and/or the BC Privacy and Cookies Policy, the User may not use the Websites and the Applications. We therefore invite all Users to carefully read these General Terms and Conditions of Use (as well as the Privacy and Cookies Policy) before using the Websites and/or Applications. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, it is possible that – given the specificity of certain Websites and Applications – the latter may also be subject to particular or additional provisions, including, but not limited to, those relating to the protection of privacy and the processing of personal data (hereinafter the “Special Terms and Conditions of Use”). In the event of any contradiction between these General Terms and Conditions of Use and the Special Terms and Conditions of Use, the provisions of the Special Terms and Conditions of Use shall prevail. 2 – Use of the BC Websites and Applications 2.1.

Such purposes may include, without limitation, participating in a virtual reality game, saving points, participating in contests, obtaining personalized electronic coupons (e-coupons). 2.2. Generally, the User can visit and use the Websites and Applications without any registration procedure.

The User is prohibited from using software or any other means (including non-technical means) to control or copy the Websites and Applications (or any part thereof) or their content, to disrupt, interrupt or prevent their operation (for example by means of a computer virus), and to obstruct, damage or destroy the integrity of data, systems or programs. Likewise, it is forbidden to deliberately overload the Websites and Applications with the aim of disrupting their effectiveness or functionality. It is also prohibited to use the Websites and Applications to enable any form of communication of an inappropriate, obscene, indecent, libelous, defamatory, threatening, abusive, unwanted or unsolicited nature or which causes annoyance, distress or unnecessary anxiety, or which is contrary to public order and/or morality or any applicable legislation concerning racial hatred. 2.5. Any use of the Websites and Applications that is unlawful and/or contrary to these Terms and Conditions of Use may be prosecuted, including by way of legal proceedings, to the extent deemed appropriate by BC. Violation of these General Terms and Conditions of Use shall automatically result in the loss of the right to use the Websites and Applications, without any compensation to the User. 2.6. BC reserves the right to adapt or make the Websites and/or Applications (in whole or in part) unavailable, temporarily or permanently, without being held liable in this respect. 3 – Guarantees and functionalities 3.1.

The Websites and Applications are provided “AS SUCH” and their use by the User is at the User’s own risk. BC also makes no warranty as to the results that may be obtained from the use of the Websites and Applications or the data obtained through them.

In particular, the Websites and Applications may be temporarily interrupted for maintenance, updates or technical improvements.

Where applicable, the User agrees to take all reasonable precautions in all communications and interactions with other users of the Websites and Applications and with other persons with whom the User communicates or interacts as a result of using the Websites and Applications, especially if the User decides to meet someone physically. 3.2 With regard to any technical requirements for the use of a particular Website or Application, we refer to the applicable Special Terms and Conditions of Use. 4 – Responsibility of BC 4.1. Insofar as BC provides the Websites and the Applications free of charge, (i) any liability of BC for negligence or breach of these General Terms and Conditions of Use is excluded and (ii) NOTWITHSTANDING ANY PROVISION TO THE CONTRACTUAL CONDITIONS IN THESE GENERAL TERMS OF USE, IN NO EVENT SHALL BC’S TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY TO THE USER – WHETHER CONTRACTUAL, EXTRA-CONTRACTUAL OR OTHERWISE – INCLUDING ALL DIRECT DAMAGES AND ALL LIABILITIES, COSTS, AND EXPENSES INCURRED BY BC IN THE PERFORMANCE OF ITS INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS, IN CONNECTION WITH THE PROVISION AND USE OF THE WEBSITES AND APPLICATIONS, UNDER THESE GENERAL TERMS OF USE, EXCEED AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO 1 EUR (ONE EURO). 4.2. Insofar as the use of certain Websites and/or Applications is not free of charge, and NOTWITHSTANDING ANY PROVISION TO THE CONTRACTUAL CONDITIONS OF USE, IN NO EVENT SHALL BC’S TOTAL ACCUMULATED LIABILITY TO THE USER – WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR EXTRACTION OR OTHERWISE – INCLUDE ANY DIRECT DAMAGES AND ANY LIABILITIES, COSTS, AND EXPENSES INCURRED BY BC IN THE PERFORMANCE OF ITS INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS, IN CONNECTION WITH THE PROVISION AND USE OF SAID WEBSITES AND/OR APPLICATIONS, UNDER THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF USE, SHALL NOT EXCEED AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE AGGREGATE AMOUNTS PAID BY THE USER TO BC, IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, IN THE SIX (6) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE OCCURRENCE OF THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO LIABILITY. 4.3. Clauses 4.1 and 4.2 shall apply regardless of the legal basis of all claims by the User, in particular claims concerning the infringement of third-party property rights, contractual or extra-contractual faults. Furthermore, claims of the User regarding defects are excluded, to the extent permitted by applicable law. 4.4. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF USE, IN NO EVENT SHALL BC BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES IN CONNECTION WITH THE PROVISION OF THE WEBSITES AND APPLICATIONS, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF USE OR LOSS OF BUSINESS EVEN IF BC HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THE USER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THESE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY AND WARRANTIES ARE AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF THE CONTRACTUAL RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN BC AND THE USER. 4.5. BC is not responsible for (i) the acts, omissions or negligence of third parties (such as other users), on or in connection with the Websites and the Applications, (ii) the products or services of third parties to which the Websites and/or the Applications may refer or which are in any way connected to the Websites and/or the Applications. The User may inform BC of objectionable conduct of other users, business partners or any other third parties on the Websites and/or Applications. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing in this clause 4.5, BC reserves the right to investigate such complaints and to take such steps as BC in its sole discretion deems necessary. 4.6. For the avoidance of doubt, BC shall not be liable (i) for any defects/delays in the provision of the Websites and Applications caused by Force Majeure and (ii) that such defects/delays could not have been avoided or overcome by BC’s reasonable and prudent attitude. BC undertakes an obligation of means in the provision of the Websites and Applications and not an obligation of result. “Force Majeure” means natural disasters, revolts, wars and military operations, national or local emergencies, acts or omissions of authorities, economic or social conflicts, fire, telecommunications failures, third party software bugs, as well as any cause or circumstance beyond the reasonable control of BC. 4.7. Nothing in this clause 4 (i) limits or excludes BC’s liability for death or personal injury resulting from its negligence or (ii) excludes BC’s liability for fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, gross negligence or wilful misconduct. 5 – Links to/from third party websites 5.1. For the User’s convenience, the Websites and the Applications may contain links to third party websites. If the User decides to use these links, the User will leave the Website and/or the Application. BC has no control over the content of such third party sites and therefore cannot be held responsible for their content, operation or privacy policy. 5.2. Third party websites may also contain a link to the Websites of BC. This does not mean that BC operates or has any control over (the content of) these third party sites. BC does not assume any responsibility for the content, operation and/or privacy policy of such third party sites. In any event, it is forbidden to place deep links to the Applications on pages of third party websites. 6 – Intellectual property rights 6.1.
