PURPOSE OF SERVICES
COOBOO is a Tourist Guide in France which provides Internet users (hereinafter the Users) with a set of practical and cultural information allowing them to prepare their stay according to their own selection criteria and thus to access tourist offers proposed by tourism professionals (hereinafter the Advertisers) according to the general and specific conditions of the latter.
In this sense, COOBOO is a smart directory but is not a travel agency or a producer of travel offers, including package tours. All offers of tourist services are presented by independent professional Advertisers under their own general and specific conditions. In the event of acceptance of an offer from an Advertiser by a User, the latter becomes the client of the former without any legal link with COOBOO, which is content with a technical connection.
COOBOO is also a community site allowing Users to share tourist content, opinions and impressions on their travel experiences. For this purpose, a User account must be created. The User who is not registered can nevertheless consult all the content and information offered by the Advertisers, the other Users, as well as the general information provided by COOBOO.
A search engine available on the Site allows Users to search for content that interests them and to access Advertisers’ offers, compare them and access the latter’s reservation forms and subscribe under the sole responsibility of the Advertisers to paid tourist services.
All of the Site’s features, the main ones of which are described in this article, may change over time. For any questions relating to the operation of the Site and these General Conditions of Use, please use the contact form.

Rights to downloaded photographs
The user may acquire a license to use certain photographs for which COOBOO owns the rights. The authorized media associated with the different user licenses are as follows:
- Private License: private interior decoration, illustration of a personal site, wallpaper, school report, etc.
- Commercial License – Multimedia: multimedia presentation illustration, professional website illustration, interactive terminal, etc.
- Commercial License – Edition: decoration of public places, advertising, press articles, written reports, brochures, posters, commercial products not intended for resale
A license provides non-exclusive and non-transferable rights to reproduce a photograph for a single and unique use. Purchasing online does not guarantee the user the exclusivity of a photograph, which remains the intellectual property of COOBOO. Any transfer to a third party, whether free of charge or for a fee and by any means whatsoever, is strictly prohibited. The buyer is not authorized under any circumstances to sell, rent, assign or more generally transfer to anyone the photograph or the right to reproduce it. The photographs may not be marketed or used in a product intended for sale, of which they would constitute the main value. Furthermore, the buyer is not authorized to crop the image of a person contained in an original photograph and use it individually.
Photographs representing protected works or objects require the negotiation of additional rights with their owners before any use. The negotiation of these rights is the direct responsibility of the buyer and COOBOO cannot be held responsible for any failure to comply with this obligation. The buyer is therefore solely responsible for the persons photographed and the rights holders on their reproduced or marketed goods.
In accordance with the provisions of Articles L 121-1 et seq. of the Intellectual Property Code, all photographs used must be accompanied by the copyright notice © COOBOO. The signature of the photographs is a legal and mandatory notice. Failing this, or in the event of an erroneous indication, compensation corresponding to the cost of the license will be invoiced without further notice and without the buyer being able to object.
The buyer may not use a photograph outside its original context or for any defamatory, immoral use, or use that undermines human dignity. The buyer undertakes not to use the photographs in a manner that is detrimental to their author, third parties represented, or owners of objects or works photographed. In such a case, the buyer would be solely responsible to these third parties and must bear all the consequences of claims on their part, including compensation for COOBOO for any legal proceedings resulting from an action taken against it. COOBOO cannot be held responsible for any consequences whatsoever resulting from the misuse or inability to use a photograph.
COOBOO reserves the right to suspend the marketing of the rights to any photographs for any reason whatsoever. The buyer agrees in such a case to cease all use of the photograph concerned without compensation or recourse.
