2. The Service

Description

The Service is a technological platform for connecting Users in view of the implementation of Projects. In practice, a Client submits a Project to a Talent via the Service by sending a message to MMAgency. MMAgency is informed of the Client’s desire to implement a Project with a Talent registered on the Service. MMAgency will thus notify the Talent that a Client wishes to involve them in a Project. The Talent shall have specified any unavailability beforehand in the space provided for this purpose. In the event of confirmation of availability by the Talent, MMAgency shall bring the Project to a Sister Agency which shall take charge of the actual implementation of the Project.

Access to the service

The Service is reserved for adults. However, if the User is a minor, i.e. aged sixteen (16) or above, they shall declare and acknowledge having obtained the authorisation of their parents or the holder(s) of parental responsibility to use the Service. The holder(s) of parental responsibility have agreed to guarantee compliance with all the provisions of the GTCU during their Use of the Service. The parents (or holders of parental responsibility) are invited to monitor the Use made of the Service by their children and to keep in mind that the Service is aimed at reaching a broad public and that, as the legal guardian, it is their responsibility to determine which website is suitable or not suitable for their child (children) and to monitor the use they make thereof. Considering the specific industry in which MMAgency operates, it reserves the right to refuse access to the Service to anyone who does not meet the criteria required by the industry.

Clients

Clients may consult photos of Talents and their personal data needed to be able to choose a Talent through the Service. If a Client wishes to hire a Talent for the implementation of a Project, they must send a message to MMAgency via the Service, which will inform the Talent that they have been identified by a Client. It will then be for the Talent to confirm their availability for the Project.

Talents

The Talent can submit their personal data and photos to the Service. Thanks to the exposure provided by the Service, and given that the Talent has already specified their availability in the dedicated space, they may be notified by MMAgency that they have been selected by a Client for the implementation of a Project through the Service.

MyMotherScouts

The MyMotherScouts shall register themselves directly on the MMAgency Website. A special space and a number of tools are dedicated to them so that they can recommend members of their own networks. The MyMotherScouts receive a payment when a minimum of ten (10) members of their community have registered, directly through them, on the MMAgency website.

Sister Agencies

Sister Agencies are entities contacted by MMAgency for the implementation of a Project. As part of the Service, MMAgency shall provide Sister Agencies with a Project and it shall be their responsibility to implement it. Sister Agencies undertake not to contract with Talents with whom they have worked in the past without MMAgency’s permission. Should Sister Agencies not comply with this provision, MMAgency may impose a penalty of an amount set out in the business finder agreement entered into between MMAgency and the concerned Sister Agency.

Access to the network and tools

It is the responsibility of Users to obtain access to the data network required for the Use of the Service.

16. Applicable law and competent jurisdiction

The GTCU shall be exclusively governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of Monaco. The language of interpretation of the GTCU shall be French. Any dispute, conflict, request or controversy arising from or, generally, connected or relating to the Service or the GTCU, including as regards its validity, interpretation or application (hereinafter the “Disputes”), shall, firstly, be subject to an attempt at an amicable settlement. In the event of failure to reach an amicable settlement, the courts of Monaco shall have sole jurisdiction over the dispute. If one or more provisions of the GTCU were to be declared null and void pursuant to a law or a regulation, the other provisions shall retain their effectiveness and scope of application, provided that the GTCU are not misleading, and that this does not give rise to a significant imbalance of the obligations imposed on the parties. The lack of action by MMAgency as regards a breach, whether it is due to a User or to others, shall not constitute a waiver of the right to act as regards similar or subsequent breaches of the GTCU.
