Article 1 - Purpose

These Terms of Service govern access to and use of TheFinanceRoom, a marketplace connecting finance candidates with independent finance professionals for paid interview preparation sessions and occasional consulting assignments.

[NOTE AVOCAT] This draft is a working template and must be reviewed by French counsel before publication.

Article 2 - Platform role

TheFinanceRoom acts as a technical intermediary. TheFinanceRoom is not the employer, agent, partner or representative of candidates or interviewers and does not guarantee any job offer, admission, promotion, interview result or professional outcome.

Article 3 - Account creation

Users must provide accurate, complete and current information when creating an account. TheFinanceRoom may refuse, suspend or delete an account where information is inaccurate, misleading, unlawful or contrary to platform policies.

Article 4 - User obligations

Users agree to:

• use the platform lawfully and in good faith;
• respect confidentiality obligations applying to employer, school, client or candidate information;
• avoid harassment, discrimination, fraud and abusive conduct;
• not request or provide confidential employer materials, interview scripts or inside information;
• not bypass the platform for payments or direct solicitation.

Article 5 - Marketplace integrity

Payments, bookings, messages and dispute handling must remain on TheFinanceRoom where the platform provides those features. Any attempt to move a paid session outside the platform may lead to suspension.

Article 6 - Intellectual property

TheFinanceRoom, its brand, interface, content, software and documentation remain the exclusive property of TheFinanceRoom or its licensors. Users retain rights in their own lawful content but grant TheFinanceRoom the rights necessary to host, display and process that content for platform operation.

Article 7 - Availability and changes

TheFinanceRoom may modify, suspend or interrupt all or part of the platform for maintenance, security, legal or operational reasons. TheFinanceRoom will use reasonable efforts to limit disruption where practical.

Article 8 - Suspension and termination

TheFinanceRoom may suspend or terminate access where a user breaches these Terms, creates legal or security risk, harms another user or undermines marketplace trust.

Article 9 - Liability

TheFinanceRoom is not responsible for professional advice, statements or conduct of independent interviewers, except where mandatory law provides otherwise. Users remain responsible for their own decisions, preparation and use of information obtained through the platform.

[NOTE AVOCAT] Liability limitations must be checked against French consumer law and unfair terms rules.

Article 10 - Applicable law

These Terms are governed by French law. Any dispute will be handled according to the dispute resolution provisions and the competent courts under applicable French law.
