6. Legal status and consequences

6.1 The Nomador Platform is a site for listings and profiles. It acts exclusively as a technical intermediary for connecting hosted Members.
6.2 Therefore, and in accordance with French law no. 2004-575 of June 21, 2004, on Trust in the Digital Economy ("LCEN Law"), Ferrari RH serves as host for an online public communication service and is not, as such, subject to any general obligation to monitor the content published and hosted on its Platform.
6.3 In any event, Members are asked to report any illegal content, potential abuse, or violation of their rights or these terms and conditions found on the Nomador Platform to Ferrari RH by email to [email protected].

7. Liability

7.1 Liability for Content

7.1.1 Ferrari RH is not responsible for the content of the listings hosted on the Platform at the initiative and under the responsibility of the Members.
7.1.2 Accordingly, Ferrari RH cannot be held liable in the event of a dispute relating to the content of information provided by Members on the Platform (e.g., text, image, photographs, or logo) until it has been notified of the disputed content found on its Platform in accordance with article 6.3 above.
7.1.3 Members are advised that photographs and images accompanying any listings post-ed by Members are not contractual and that Ferrari RH cannot be held liable in the event that a photograph or image does not reflect the reality of the provided accommodations or the Pet-sitting service.

7.2 Liability for Contracts between Members

7.2.1 As soon as they freely agree on the provision of accommodations in exchange for a Pet-sitting service based on listings posted on the Platform, Members are advised that they have entered into a contract with one another and that Ferrari RH is not a party to said contract. In other words, the Owner and the House-sitter are parties to a contract under which Ferrari RH is a third party.
7.2.2 Therefore, any dispute between Members resulting from the improper execution or non-performance of the contract between them is not the responsibility of Ferrari RH. If the Member fails to fulfill an obligation to another Member under the terms of a contract, only the responsible party can be held liable.
7.2.3 Thus, Members are solely responsible for any direct or indirect, material or immaterial damage or injury caused to each other, to Ferrari RH, or to any third party during the performance of the contract between them.
7.2.4 Consequently, and unless Ferrari RH provides proof of a fault committed in accordance with the legal provisions in force, Ferrari RH disclaims all liability related to the selection of an Owner or a co-contracting House-sitter, the proper performance or result of a service, the representation of a House-sitter, the quality of the service rendered, and more generally, any conflict that arises between the Members in connection with the performance of the contract between them.
7.2.5 Ferrari RH disclaims all liability related to the actions of the Owners or House-sitters constituting, but not limited to, the following acts: theft, damage, loss or destruction of property and household effects, illness, personal injury, disability, death, accident, care and supervision of pets, invasion of privacy, and travel and liv-ing expenses.
7.2.6 The provisions of the preceding paragraph shall apply subject to the applicability of the cancellation guarantee associated with the Member's Standard or Premium Plan subscription, in accordance with articles 3.4.4 and 3.5.4 above.

8. Member Exclusion

8.1 Breach of the General Terms of Service

8.3.3 In any event, and except as provided in article 8.3.2 above, Ferrari RH reserves the right to exclude any Member who obtains one or more ratings revealing an attitude and behavior contrary to the values put forward by Ferrari RH in the context of the services offered on the Nomador Platform.
