Decathlon is not and does not become a party to, or an additional Participant, in any contractual relationship between Organizer and Participant, nor is Decathlon an insurer or studio/gym owner. In the event that an Organizer offers Activity packages, Decathlon remains solely a platform to facilitate interactions between Organizers and Users and is not liable for any legal obligations created by Activity packages. Decathlon is not acting as an agent in any capacity for any Organizer or Participant, except as specified in Section 15 below.

3.3 If you choose to use the App as a User or Participant, you recognize and accept that your use does not create a contractual relationship between you and Decathlon. Organizers are independent, third-party contractors, not employees, agents, joint venturers, or partners of Decathlon for any reason, and act exclusively on their own behalf and for their own benefit, and not on behalf, or for the benefit, of Decathlon.

In such cases, Participant would be asked to sign an Image Release Form granting and releasing copyright of the images to the Organizer. Should the Participant not wish to be filmed or photographed by Decathlon or the Organizer, as applicable, they are not required to accept the terms of the Image Release Form.

20.1 Decathlon may terminate any registration, delete any profile, content, and/or any information published on the App, and/or prohibit the use of and/or access to the App as soon as it becomes aware of the non-respect by the User of these Terms or for technical reasons.
