WENITE’S TERMS OF SERVICE
Foreword
Wenite is an internet social network (www.wenite.com) and a mobile application (collectively: the “Site”) that allows its users to glimpse, in real time, the atmosphere on any given evening within a selection of nightlife establishments. This application and this internet site were created by the Groupe Wenite inc. (“Wenite”).
The mobile application allows each user enjoying an evening at one of these select establishments to give an account of his or her experience via a vote that covers specific criteria such as the level of seduction, the ratio of men to women, a rating on overall ambiance and level of attendance.
After having voted, the user may be compensated with a promotional offer from the establishment he or she voted for. Each establishment is, at all times, responsible for the offered promotion. However, the user hereby accepts that each promotion, if it is offered, is subject both to the vote having been given and to the prior purchase of food or drink.
The goal of this policy is to establish the conditions of use for this website and the Wenite application, and to ensure appropriate use of the content distributed and the services offered therein. It also aims to establish an individual and collective comportment that conforms to the standards of Wenite, its partners and the applicable legislation.
WARNING: THE USE OF WENITE CONSTITUTES AN ACCEPTANCE OF THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS. IN CASE OF DISAGREEMENT, PLEASE LEAVE THIS SITE IMMEDIATELY.
