Access to the Websites is free and not subject to prior registration.

Nevertheless, some services provided on the Websites (such as the sending of newsletters) may be subject to prior registration by the User, his/her identification and the use of a User Account.

When creating his/her User Account, the User will be asked to select a user ID and associated password, which are strictly personal and confidential. The User shall be presented with a registration form for providing France Médias Monde with certain personal information which is compulsory or optional according to the notes on the form.

Parents (or those with parental authority) are invited to supervise the use made of the Services by their children (those in their charge) and to keep in mind that the Services are intended to appeal to a wide audience and that in their capacity of legal guardian, it is the parents’ responsibility to determine what Website is or is not suitable for their child(ren) and to supervise their use thereof.
