The “double click” of the consumer under the reservation constitutes an electronic signature which has, between the parts, the same value as a handwritten signature.

At each reservation, he reiterates his acceptance of the present general conditions by clicking on “validate”.

Any reservation not validated cannot be honored.

The double click and the acceptance of the general conditions of use constitute an irrevocable acceptance without reserve of the reservation by the user.

3.2. The general conditions of sale express the entirety of the obligations and rights of the parts :

The User guarantees the truthfulness and the accuracy of the information he communicates.

NICE DRIVER could not be held responsible for possible data entry errors and the consequences which would result from it such as a delay and/or an error. In this context, all the harmful consequences of this error will be entirely at the expense of the Customer.

Similarly, NICE DRIVER cannot be held responsible for the consequences arising from the production of false documents or false information by the user at the time of his reservation in case of non-updating by the user of his personal situation, which may justify from the knowledge by NICE DRIVER of these facts the cancellation of the order by NICE DRIVER.
