• Not to act against the commercial interests of Vialma or Musikazoo, S.A.S.

Without prejudice to any damages that Vialma might incur, Vialma reserves the right to suspend a User’s access and/or cancel outright, rightfully and without notice or indemnity, the registration of any User who fails to respect one or more of the agreements and declarations noted above.
