The User acknowledges that the Service is provided by Cloudi-Fi and by a local Internet service provider, being referred to as the "Operator". Accordingly, CLOUDI-FI shall not be liable towards the User for the transmission of any signals from or to the User through the Service, and any claim in relation to such transmission and/or more generally in relation to the Operators’ compliance with their obligations towards the User under applicable electronic communications laws and regulations shall be directed to the relevant Operator(s).
To the maximum extent permitted by law, CLOUDI-FI shall not be liable towards the User for damage that cannot be imputable to CLOUDI-FI, resulting notably from the use by the User of the Service other than in strict accordance with these ToU, or a breach by the User of his/her obligations hereunder, any act, omission or default of the User, or an event beyond CLOUDI-FI’s reasonable control (including a force majeure event). In particular, CLOUDI-FI excludes any liability for damage or loss suffered by the User as a result of the inadequacy, dysfunction, or incompatibility of his/her equipment with the Service and/or failure by the User to implement reasonable and necessary protection against harmful programs, devices, or communications.
Article 4. TRAFFIC DATA
As required to make the Service available, traffic data generated by the User through the use of the Service may be collected.

French law governs these ToU, except in cases where the law of the country of the User is mandatory or requires a higher level of protection that cannot be derogated from by agreement, in which case such law shall apply.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, any dispute related to the validity, performance, termination or the interpretation of these ToU and that the parties cannot resolve amicably shall be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Paris Courts, notwithstanding the existence of several defendants or a third party claim, and including in cases of summary proceedings.
