All Users are therefore required to refer to the version accessible online on the date of their access to the Service.
Quaha is free to modify, at any time, the present Terms and Conditions as well as the legal notices in order to take into account any legal, jurisprudential, editorial and/or technical evolution.
The Terms and Conditions as well as their possible modifications are deemed to be accepted without reserve by the User who connects to the Application and/or the Site after they have been put online. In the event that the User does not wish to accept all or part of the Terms and Conditions he is asked to give up access to the Service.
IV ACESS TO THE SITE The Site is accessible to any Internet user or mobile user provided that he or she has an Internet and/or mobile network connection and a suitable terminal.

VI CREATION OF A PROFILE/ACCOUNT 1) General terms and conditions for Registering for the Service and creating a profile
Access to the Service is conditional on User Identification after creating a profile on the Application.
Registering is also proposed by linking to User’s Facebook, Twitter or Linkedin account. If the User opts to use this solution to create a profile, he/she has to click on the corresponding button proposed during the profile creation phase, thus allowing the transmission of his/her personal data from the chosen social network to the Application to create his/her profile.
By registering, the User is required to provide personal information that will be collected by the Application (in particular surname, first name, email address, country, mobile number or social media details) and which will then be used to identify the User and facilitate access to the Service.
When creating his profile, the User undertakes to provide true, accurate, up-to-date and complete information on his identity and age. In particular, he undertakes not to create a false identity likely to mislead Quaha and not to usurp the identity of another legal or physical person.
After validation of the Terms and Conditions and the creation of his profile, the User receives an e-mail in his personal mailbox and must then, in order to validate his Profile, click or copy in his browser the temporary and personal url address that will have been attributed to him.
If the User has used their Mobile Number or eMail Address to register he/she will receive a verification via SMS or eMail which must be entered to confirm his/her identity.
From then on, the User will be able to identify himself/herself and have access to the administration/management interface of his/her Account.
In the event that the User provides false, inaccurate, outdated, incomplete, misleading or misleading information, Quaha may, immediately without notice or compensation, suspend or terminate the User’s Account and deny access, temporarily or permanently, to all or part of the Service.
2) User IDs
A User’s Account includes his or her Identifiers, which are placed under the exclusive responsibility of the User. The User undertakes to keep them secret and not to disclose them in any form whatsoever. If one of the User’s Identifiers is lost or stolen, the User must inform Quaha without delay, which will then proceed to the immediate cancellation and/or updating of the Identifiers concerned.
The User is solely responsible for the use that is made of his/her Identifiers, even if he/she has pre-registered them on his/her mobile phone or on any other type of equipment, thus allowing automatic connection to his/her profile.
Any access, use of the Service and data transmission carried out on the basis of a User’s profile will be deemed to have been carried out by the User. The User is entirely responsible for safeguarding the confidentiality of the User’s password. In this respect, the User is obliged to ensure that at the end of each session he or she actually logs out of the Service.
Any loss, misappropriation or unauthorised use of a User’s Identifiers and their consequences are the sole responsibility of that User. In all the cases mentioned above, the User is required to notify Quaha, specifying his or her surname, first name, country, mobile number or email address, and, if possible, username and former password, via the contact form (accessible by clicking here www.quaha.africa) so that Quaha can proceed with the deletion of the User ID or password concerned.

The User may close his profile at any time without justification. Simply go to the “My Profile” section.
Quaha can delete a User’s profile in the event of failure to comply with any of the provisions of the Terms and Conditions. In the event of a breach, Quaha may immediately delete the profile of the concerned User at its own discretion and definitively. In addition, Quaha reserves the right to take legal action against the User concerned and to claim damages and interest in compensation for the prejudice suffered as a result of the breach. This deletion may be carried out without prior notice, notification or formal notice.
