PREAMBLE

The 2nd edition of the Gravel Fever Grand Châtellerault (hereinafter the Event) is organized on September 13, 14 and 15, 2024 by France Vélo Événements SAS.

This document defines :
(i) the sporting regulations for the Event (hereinafter referred to as the Regulations),
(ii) the general terms and conditions of sale applicable to any order of products or services relating to the Event placed with the Organizer via the Njuko registration platform (its website, mobile site or application) (hereinafter the Organizer's General Terms and Conditions of Sale).

The terms "you", "your" and "yours" refer to you, as the participant or consumer, or as the parent or legal guardian (over 18 years of age) if the participant or consumer is a minor in his/her country of residence.
Your registration for the Event implies your expressed and unreserved acceptance of the present Rules and of the organizer's General Terms and Conditions of Sale.

This document supplements the Terms of Use of the online registration platform known as Njuko (hereinafter referred to as Njuko), which can be accessed at Njuko.
In the event of any contradiction between the terms of the Njuko Terms of Use, the organizer's present General Terms and Conditions of Sale and the Regulations, the terms of the Regulations shall prevail over the General Terms and Conditions of Sale, which shall themselves prevail over the Njuko Terms of Use.

The Organizer may revise and update the Terms and Conditions and the Regulations at any time; please consult them regularly. Any changes made shall apply immediately upon notification, by any means, including publication of a revised version hereof on the Event website https://gravelfever.fr/.
In the event of any significant modification to the Terms and Conditions and/or the Regulations, the Organizer will endeavor to notify you by e-mail to the e-mail address provided on Njuko.

Important! Role of Njuko:
The Njuko site through which you placed your order enables professional sellers and organizers to list and sell their products and services. Although the Njuko platform facilitates the transactions carried out on it, Njuko is not the seller or organizer of the products and services relating to the Event.
Consequently, the sale of products or services relating to the Event forms a sales contract solely between you and the Organizer. The Organizer is responsible for the sale of products or services relating to the Event and for any claims or other problems arising out of or in connection with the sales contract between you and the Organizer.

For the Gravel Fever edition, France Vélo Évènements is organizing a friendly cycling event open to the general public on registration.
