Bugs are errors, faults or flaws that produce an incorrect, unexpected or unintentional result in the running of the Game. For the purposes of the procedure relating to the appearance of bugs during the Game, and at the sole discretion of Million Victories, bugs are divided into two categories:

  • a major bug is, in the opinion of Million Victories, a bug that significantly alters the running of the Game and seriously hinders the performance of the Players. The appearance of a major bug shall require Million Victories to take action to address it as set out in the paragraph below. 

In the event of a major bug, Million Victories may decide to suspend the Competition, at its sole discretion, for the time required to remedy it. The Competition shall restart with the number of points displayed before the incident. If, however, the major bug cannot be repaired, Million Victories reserves the right to postpone or cancel the Competition without being held liable. 

Any intentional use or attempted use by a Player of any bug or defect in the Game is strictly prohibited and may result in the exclusion of the Competition.  

It is strongly recommended that evidence be gathered and retained using the phone’s built-in recording system.

The Players undertake not to modify in any way the Game or the related software and/or to refrain from using modified versions thereof and in particular (without this list being exhaustive) with a view to obtaining unauthorised access to the Game. In particular, the Players agree not to access the Game and/or the Competition by any means other than that authorised by Million Victories.

The Players are informed and acknowledge that the Game and any software used in connection therewith may contain confidential information or information protected by current intellectual property law or any other law. The Players undertake not to modify, rent, borrow, sell or distribute this content or create derivative works incorporating all or part of this content, unless they have first received the express authorisation of Million Victories.

The Game contains in particular texts, images, brands, logos, graphics and animations that are the exclusive property of Million Victories (hereinafter “Intellectual Property”) and the use of the Game in the context of the Competition and outside it shall not result in any assignment and/or concession of all or part of the intellectual property rights of Million Victories. 

The Intellectual Property is made available to the Player, free of charge, for the sole duration of the Competition as provided for herein and in the context of normal use of the functionalities of the Game.

This authorisation to use the Intellectual Property is personal, non-exclusive and non-transferable. Million Victories may revoke this authorisation to use the Intellectual Property at any time.

The Players are prohibited from—directly or indirectly—copying, modifying, creating a derivative work, reverse engineering the design or assembly or in any other way attempting to find the source code (except as provided for by law), selling, assigning, sub-licensing or transferring in any way any right relating to the Intellectual Property. The Player undertakes not to modify the Intellectual Property in any way.

In the event of non-compliant or abusive use of the Intellectual Property, Million Victories reserves all rights to stop the infringement of its intellectual property rights and delete the Player Accounts under the conditions of Article 15 herein.

16.2– Million Victories may upload editorial content or illustrations or videos from the Competition, which are protected by the laws relating to intellectual property and in particular copyright and which are the exclusive property of Million Victories.

In the same way as for the Intellectual Property, the Players undertake not to copy, modify, use, sell or distribute this content or create derivative works incorporating all or part of this content, unless they have first received the express authorisation of Million Victories, which owns the Intellectual Property rights relating to this content. 

16.3– In any event, any intellectual property rights relating to works resulting from the use of the Game in connection with participation in the Competition (hereinafter referred to as the “Contributions”), shall be assigned by the Player to Million Victories, exclusively, as and when they are created, for the legal duration of the copyright and related rights, including any extensions or renewals, for the entire world, from the Player’s registration in the Competition.

The assigned rights include in particular:

  • The right to reproduce the Contributions as well as any changes and updates thereto, in whole or in part, by any means and in any form, on any media known or unknown to date, and in particular:
    • the right to incorporate the Contributions in whole or in part into any greater whole;
    • the right to upload and download, display, implement, transmit and/or store the Contributions on any media;
    • the right to make or have made any arrangement, update, adaptation, transformation, correction, evolution and, in general, any changes to the Contributions; 
    • the right to reproduce the results of any of these operations, with a view in particular to their use, exploitation and distribution on all existing or future equipment;
    • the right to make any copy of the Contributions and documentation, in any number of copies that the Million Victories may desire, by any process, and on any media (in particular digital, CD, CD-ROM, DVD, etc.); 
    • the right to market for consideration or free of charge, the right of distribution, including the right to rent, sell and lend one or more copies of the Contributions, by any process, known or unknown to date; the right of reproduction for any implementation of the rights referred to hereafter.
  • The right to display, market, disseminate and to make available to the public the Contributions and their developments, in the broadest possible manner, by any means known or unknown to date (in particular streaming, webcasting, or other audio, video or audio-video broadcasting) and in particular by broadcasting on all online telecommunications networks such as the Internet (on any communication platform, etc.), Intranet, digital television, any satellite networks and, in a general manner, by any vectors or networks;
  • The right to display the Contributions in all places accessible to the public and in all private places;
  • The right to use the Contributions for demonstration, promotion and advertising purposes, for all the rights referred to herein, associated with all trademarks;
  • The right to adapt and modify the form of the Contributions;
  • The right to make or have made any new creative work based on the Contributions, used in whole or in part, modified or not by the Customer or by third parties designated by the Customer;
  • The right to assign, or grant to whomsoever it sees fit, licences and/or any rights over the Contributions, and/or any rights relating thereto incorporating all or part of the Contributions.

The Player may have cause to create Contributions not yet determinable on the date on which this agreement is entered into, and, in addition, intended to be incorporated into works not yet determined on the date on which this agreement is entered into.

With regard to Contributions that may be protected by intellectual property rights, Million Victories and the Player have taken into account Article L. 131-1 of the French Intellectual Property Code and recall that regardless of the status of the work, Million Victories is the sole owner of all rights over these Contributions and/or works, as and when they are created during the implementation of the Rules, either as a result of the legal provisions or the terms provided for herein. 

In any event, the Player undertakes to confirm ownership of Million Victories’ rights over any Contribution in writing at Million Victories’ first request.

Insofar as the bases for calculating proportional remuneration cannot be determined with regard to the assignment of rights to the Contributions, the Parties agree that free access to the Game and the Competition constitutes the fixed and final consideration for this assignment.  

Million Victories and the Player agree that the Player may not claim any additional remuneration in the event of the use or distribution of the Contributions, and that with regard to Contributions that may be protected, the Player assigns all copyright thereto and that the principle of proportional remuneration is expressly excluded, in accordance with article L.131-4 paragraph 2 of the French Intellectual Property Code.

The Player represents that it does not wish to avail itself of any moral right it may hold over the Contributions. 

Termination of the Agreement for any reason whatsoever shall have no effect on the provisions of this clause, which shall remain in force between the Parties, without the Player being able to claim any compensation.

16.4– Finally, in a general manner, the Players authorise Millions Victories free of charge to use their images, logos, pseudonyms, visuals, game data and more generally any distinctive sign belonging to them or over which they hold rights and authorisations for the exploitation referred to in Article 16.3 and for the purposes of communicating and promoting the Game and the Competition. Million Victories may, in its discretion, make an audio-visual recording of the Competition in order to broadcast live or deferred extracts of the Competition on any broadcast media of its choice and in particular on online communication services (in particular on the Internet and platforms such as Twitch, YouTube, etc.). This authorisation is granted to Million Victories for the duration of the Rules and for a period of five (5) years from the end of the Rules for any reason whatsoever.

Article 17: Miscellaneous

17.1– The Rules constitute the entire agreement between the Players and Million Victories regarding the use of the Game in the context of the Competition. 

17.2– In a general manner, if one or more provisions of the Rules are held to be invalid or declared as such pursuant to a law, a regulation or following a final decision by a competent court, the other provisions shall retain their full force and effect, and shall remain valid and applicable. The same principles shall apply in the event of incomplete provisions.

17.3– The fact that Million Victories does not avail itself, at a given time, of any of the provisions of these Rules, may not be interpreted as a waiver of subsequently asserting any of these terms and conditions.
