All Users of the Application, whether Creators, Participants or other Users, create a profile on the Application in order to access the Services and provide the information referred to in the Privacy Policy. Creators' profiles are accessible to all Users of the Application, including those who have not created a User Account.
The use of the Site and the Application is only authorized within the family circle. Any use outside of this framework, and in particular with a view to publicity or animation (via the use of the Contents) in public places or shops, is expressly prohibited.
c) Specific features:
(i) Creation of Lives by a Creator
A Creator may create Lives that are accessible free of charge by all Users or accessible only by certain Users on a subscription or fee basis, as the case may be, for a duration and on a theme defined by the Creator.
When creating a Live, the Creator undertakes to fill in the category, title and any other compulsory information as requested by the Application and indicated by this symbol "(*)" in order to allow the referencing and indexing of the Live within the Application.
The Creator is solely responsible, both to Brut. and to other Users or third parties, for the dissemination of the Content that he/she communicates in the context of a Live.
The Creator alone sets the selling price of paid Lives via his space accessible on the Application.
The price of paid Lives, whether by subscription or on a fee-for-service basis, is identical for all Users.
It is freely set by the Creator according to the levels set out in the price list available on the Application.
When the Creator offers paid Lives, the Creator is contractually bound, with respect to the Users who subscribe to it, to provide the service announced to the latter, in particular the theme of the Live and its content, on the date and at the time set by the Creator and for the minimum duration announced.
The Creator acknowledges and accepts that he/she alone is responsible for the Lives created by him/her under the conditions specified in Article 3 below.
The Creator may not cancel a paid Live.
Any cancellation of a paid Live shall result in the reimbursement of all sums paid by one or more Users for the Live in question and the payment, by the Creator, of the commission due to Brut. in application of these General Terms and Conditions. The commission shall be paid by the Creator upon receipt of the invoice. Brut. may also act by way of compensation and withhold any sum due to the Creator in respect of one or more other Lives.
Similarly, any dispute by one or more Users, within the thirty (30) day period, regarding the content of a paid Live, and in particular the lack of consistency or adequacy of the Live with the theme or content announced by the Creator, may give rise to the application by Brut. of a fixed penalty for the Creator equal to the amount of Brut.'s commission on the sums paid by the Users concerned for the Live in question, for the benefit of Brut., this sum being in the nature of compensation for the resources mobilized by Brut. to proceed with the reimbursement of the sums paid by the Users concerned. This penalty may be deducted from the sums due to the Creator for the Live concerned or for any other Live in respect of the price paid by the other Users, in addition to the sums due to Brut. in application of these General Terms and Conditions.
Insofar as such a dispute, within this timeframe, establishes that the content of the disputed Live clearly constitutes a violation of these General Terms and Conditions, in particular Article 6, Brut. may decide to apply a flat-rate penalty equal to double the aforementioned penalty, and this for all the sums paid by the Users who subscribed to the Live in question, and not only to the Users who have formulated a dispute, with this sum being in the nature of compensation for the resources mobilized by Brut. to proceed with the reimbursement of the sums paid by the Users concerned and for half of the prejudice caused to Brut. in particular for its image prejudice, without prejudice to any damages that may be due to Brut. for the purpose of compensating its entire prejudice.
The penalties referred to above apply without prejudice to Brut's right, in such a situation, to suspend or terminate access to the Application and the Creator's account, in accordance with the conditions listed in Article 15 and Article 16 of the General Terms and Conditions.
Any paid Live constitutes a service concluded directly between the Creator and the Users who have subscribed to it, independently of Brut. which only provides the technical means to enable its realization.
The Creator undertakes to respect the "Brut. Charter".
The Creator guarantees Brut. that he/she is entitled to communicate and/or quote all Content published by him/her within the framework of the Lives and that he/she has all the rights and authorisations necessary for their use under the conditions set out in these Terms and Conditions.
In the event of a breach of the foregoing, Brut. may immediately interrupt access to the Services for the Creator, in accordance with article 15 and article 16 of the General Terms and Conditions.
The Creator also guarantees Brut. against any action, claim or demand whatsoever, on the part of any person invoking non-compliance with the aforementioned provisions and shall indemnify Brut. against all consequences that may result from a breach of this guarantee (in particular all losses, damages, expenses and/or costs including, in particular, court costs and lawyers' fees).
(ii) Participation in Lives by Participants
The Creator may invite up to five (5) Participants to participate in its Live.
In order to participate in the Live, the Participants must request to participate in the Live and/or accept the invitation from the Creator generated by the Application.
The Creator is responsible for the compliance of the obligations listed in these General Terms and Conditions by the Participants (and in particular for the compliance with the Gross Charter, the rights and authorisations required in relation to the Content and information communicated during the Lives, the legality of the Content, etc.).
The Creator, in his capacity as moderator, shall interrupt the participation of any Participant of the Live who does not respect these obligations.
In case of violation of the above, Brut. may immediately interrupt access to the Services of the Creator and/or the Participants concerned, in accordance with Article 15 and Article 16 of the General Terms and Conditions.
(iii). Access to the Lives and participation in the Chat
A chat tool allowing live comments on the Live is made available to Users via the Application. Users undertake to respect the Brut. Charter when using this tool. It is specified that the chat is not moderated by the Creator.
Brut. reserves the right to suspend or terminate access to the Application for any User who does not respect these obligations, in accordance with the conditions listed in article 15 and article 16 of the General Conditions.

7. AVAILABILITY OF THE SERVICE VIA THE SITE AND THE APPLICATION
Users are informed of the technical hazards inherent in telecommunication networks and the Internet, and of the interruptions in access that may result from this or from its own service providers or third-party service providers.
