The Participants undertake not to contest the admissibility, validity or probative force of the aforementioned elements of a nature or in computer or electronic formats or media, on the basis of any legal provision specifying that certain documents must be in writing or signed by the parties in order to constitute evidence.

Thus, the elements considered constitute evidence and, if they are produced as evidence by the company DECATHLON FRANCE in any litigation or other proceedings, they will be admissible, valid and enforceable between the parties in the same way, under the same conditions and with the same probative force as any document that would be prepared, received or kept in writing.
