STATUS AND OBLIGATION OF DECATHLON UK

4.1. Decathlon UK is to promote and widen the use of sport, leisure and recreational Activities and facilities. The purpose of the Platform is to permit the Customer to make online Booking of sport, leisure and recreational activities and facilities with or without equipment rental and/or instruction with the Partner or Decathlon UK in accordance with these Terms and Conditions and prevailing laws. The Bookings are strictly for personal and non-commercial purposes. Therefore Customers shall not derive any financial or other monetary benefits from using the Platform.

4.2. If the Activity is booked with a Partner, the role of Decathlon UK is strictly limited permitting the Customers, for personal and for non-commercial purposes, to make online Bookings of the Activities with the Partners, and to permit the Partners to accept online Bookings of the Activities from the Customers through our Platform. Therefore, Decathlon UK is a third party to the Agreement in these cases; Decathlon UK is only providing the means to get in touch.

4.3. Decathlon UK can therefore not guarantee neither the qualification of the Partners, the supply of the Activities, the insurance of the Activities or the quality of the Activities. The Customers acknowledge that they will attend the Activity at their own risk.

ELIGIBILITY

5.1. To use the Platform, the User must be at least 18 years old and capable of entering into a legally binding agreement under UK law.

5.2. The Customer must act on their own behalf, unless they are a parent or a guardian acting on behalf of a minor who is at the age of 16 or below, and they must be an adult having the capacity to agree to these Terms and Conditions.

5.3. If the User is acting on behalf of a company, then they attest to being duly authorised to act for and on behalf of the company to make the Booking.

USER ACCOUNT

6.1. Creating a User Account

6.1.1. To make an Activity Booking, the User must create a User Account by filling in the requested information accurately, including their full name and contact information.

6.1.2. The Platform allows a User, once they have created their User Account and depending on their role (Customer or Partner), to provide schedules, and to make and pay the Booking of their choice and costs indicated in Bookings.

6.2. Suspension and Removing a User Account

6.2.1. Decathlon UK reserves the right to suspend the account of a User in the following cases:

a) Failure by the User to one of its obligations under these Terms and Conditions, especially in case of publication of a contrary Announcement to the conditions referred to in clause 8.2 , namely, Partner’s Responsibility and Obligations.

b) Any other situation where the User would not use the Platform according to its intended use.

6.2.2. Where appropriate, Decathlon UK informs the User by email asking them to remedy the breach. However, if the nature of the failure is such that the contract cannot be continued, then Decathlon UK will automatically terminate the contract and thus delete the User account immediately by sending an email.

FUNCTIONALITIES OFFERED BY THE PLATFORM

7.1. Search

The Platform allows the Customer to use the “Search” functionality on the home page of the Platform, in order to look for different Activities.

To do this, the Platform offers a filtering functionality during the search, through three filters:

City

Sport

Dates

Once the search has been launched by the Customer, he will have the possibility to select additional filters, in particular a filter linked to Age, and another one linked to Price.

The display of Search results is distinguished between Supervised Activities and Live Activities.

The Customer also has the possibility of carrying out their search directly via the Activities offered on the home page, without using the Search function with filters.

7.2. Booking and Registration

7.2.1 Making a Booking

The Platform allows the Customer, who has a Decathlon account, to reserve an Activity for himself or more people.

To do this, the Customer must:

Click on an Activity Ad and read the Activity description in the site, which is broken down into several parts:

Description;
“What is provided”;
“What to bring”;
meeting location;
about the organizer;
notice;
upcoming dates and sessions;
select an available date;
specify the number of participants they wish to register and fill in the Name and First Name of each participant;
specify a contact telephone number;
log in to your DECATHLON account;
confirm your registration by checking the acceptance box of the general conditions of the Platform;
enter a billing address, and proceed to payment via the Payment Service Provider Stripe.

Following these steps, the Customer will receive a Booking confirmation email, reminding the number of people registered, the date, time, and the Activity’s meeting location.

Where applicable, if the Customer has chosen a paid Activity, they will also receive a bank receipt and an associated invoice (in the Booking confirmation email). The payment conditions are detailed in clause 10 hereof.

7.2.2 Managing and Cancelling Your Bookings

The Customer will have the possibility to manage their past, current and future Bookings in the “Bookings” section on the Platform.

The Customer will thus have the possibility of cancelling a future Booking, by clicking on “Cancel Booking” in the “Bookings” > “Futures” section, after having selected the Activity they wish to cancel.

Following this cancellation, the Customer will receive an email confirming said cancellation of Booking.

The User may be able to cancel the Booking until the start of the Activity.

In principle, if the Customer cancels less than 24 hours before the start of the Activity, the activity payment cannot be refunded.

In addition, the Customer accepts that with regard to certain Activities, the reimbursement conditions may be more restrictive. If applicable, the Partner will display the deadline before the Booking so that the Customer is informed.

In the case of a Booking for a paid Activity, and if the Customer follows the cancellation procedure described above, the refund will be made within 5 to 10 working days following the withdrawal date.

As payment is made by credit card, the refund will be made directly to the bank account linked to the credit card used for the payment of the Activity.

Once the refund is made, the Customer will receive a proof of refund by email.

7.3. Contact

The Customer will have the opportunity to contact the Activity Organizer:

either through the Activity Description Sheet;
either via the link received by email when confirming your Booking;
directly on the Platform in the “Messages” section if a conversation has already been established with the Activity Organizer.

7.4. Leave a Review

Following the Activity, the Customer will have the opportunity to leave a review on the Activity in which they participated. The collected reviews will be governed by the general terms and conditions of the Decathlon Customer reviews available on the Decathlon UK Terms of Use.
