1. ACCEPTANCE OF THE TERMS

1.1. These Terms are entered into by and between you and VW VOLLEYBALL WORLD SA, a limited liability company duly organized under the laws of Switzerland and registered in the trade register of canton de Vaud under number CHE-334.506.517 with head office at Chemin Edouard-Sandoz 2-4, c/o Château Les Tourelles, 1006 Lausanne (Switzerland) and any of its affiliates involved in the provision of the Services (“VW”, “we”, “us” and “our”). You accept to be subject to and comply with these Terms by registering a user account on the Services and using or accessing the Services. If you do not agree to the Terms or are dissatisfied with the Services, your sole remedy is to stop using the Services. Once you have confirmed and finalized your registration, you will receive a copy of the Terms and a summary of the registration information.

1.2. These Terms are supplemented by the following terms and conditions:

a. the terms of service of volleyballworld.com (the “Website”), which are available at https://en.volleyballworld.com/terms-of-service;

b. the Website’s cookies policy, which is available at https://en.volleyballworld.com/privacy-policy (the “Cookies Policy”); and

c. our privacy policy, which is available at https://en.volleyballworld.com/privacy-policy (the “Privacy Policy”);

each of which may be amended from time to time and are incorporated herein by this reference. If these Terms conflict with any of the terms and conditions set out above, these Terms will take priority.

1.3. VW reserves the right to terminate and/or change these Terms at any time in its sole discretion with ten (10) days prior notice.

VW will notify you of any such changes made to the Terms at least thirty (30) days prior to the entry in force of the amended Terms. The amended Terms will be binding on you unless you object to the amended Terms at least seven (7) days before the proposed changes to the Terms are due to take effect. In case, you object against the amended Terms, your subscription will be terminated and we will refund (on a pro-rata basis) any sums you have paid in advance for the Services which will not be provided. Your continued use of the Services after the end of the notice period shall constitute your agreement to be bound by any such changes.

Furthermore, VW may vary, replace or withdraw content and features included within the Services and the range of payment options may change in its sole discretion. Where the variation, replacement or withdrawal of content and features is of substantive nature and therefore reduces the scope of the Services, VW will only vary, replace or withdraw content and features included within the Services for good reason. If there is no good reason, we will write to you to let you know that we are going to substantially vary, replace or withdraw content and features included in the Service and refund (on a pro-rata basis) any sums you have paid in advance for the Services which will not be provided. VW reserves the right to modify the price of the Service for new or renewed subscriptions, but already purchased subscriptions will not be affected. For the avoidance of doubt, a subscription will be considered a renewed subscription when payment is taken to extend the period of subscription.

Unless and as long as you have not used the Services, you have a period of 14 days following the conclusion of the contract for the Services to withdraw your subscription.
