Initiés programme terms

1 — Purpose of the Initiés programme

The Initiés programme is an ambassador programme offered by GXS RACING (hereinafter “GXS”) on the website https://www.gxs-racing.com.

It enables motorcycle enthusiasts, content creators or engaged customers to promote GXS Racing within their audience, through a personal referral code, an Initié dashboard and tier-based rewards according to validated sales.

The Initiés programme is separate from the General Terms and Conditions of Sale: any order placed on the website remains governed by the applicable Terms.

2 — Application and selection

Participation in the programme is selective. Submitting an application via the online form does not constitute automatic acceptance.

GXS reviews each profile (motivation, audience, alignment with the motorcycle community, customer history where applicable). An automatic pre-screening may reject incomplete applications or those below the quality threshold displayed on the form.

The applicant undertakes to provide accurate and truthful information (identity, social media accounts, photos, riding activity). Any false statement may result in immediate rejection or exclusion.

The applicant must be of legal age and have legal capacity to contract. By applying, they accept these terms in the version in force on the date of submission.

3 — Referral code and benefits

If the application is accepted, GXS assigns a personal referral code offering a discount to the Initié’s contacts (rate and duration according to the configuration in force, currently −10 % initially, +1 % every 2 validated sales (max. −20 %)).

The discount rate may increase by 1 % every 2 validated sales, up to a maximum of −20 %.

The code is personal and non-transferable. It may not be distributed in a misleading manner (fake accounts, fictitious purchases, automation, unauthorised coupon sites).

Sales counted are those validated and paid on the GXS Racing website using the Initié’s code, according to the programme’s technical rules (confirmation periods, cancellations, refunds).

GXS reserves the right to correct or cancel attributed sales in the event of error, fraud or breach of these terms.

4 — Initié obligations

The Initié contractually and unconditionally undertakes to comply with all of these terms. In particular, they undertake to:

• Promote GXS Racing exclusively within the framework of the programme, in a fair, genuine manner and in compliance with applicable regulations (advertising, influence, mandatory disclosures);
• Share their code with a genuine, qualified audience aligned with the motorcycle community — without fictitious purchases, fake accounts, bots, coupon farms or misleading practices;
• Create content (posts, stories, videos, live streams, events, newsletters…) showcasing GXS Racing, without unfair comparisons, disparagement or any promotion of a Competitor (see section 5);
• Respect the GXS brand image (tone, visuals, guidelines, respect for the paddock and community);
• Not use the GXS name, logos, visuals or “Initié” status for products, services, messages or partnerships not authorised in writing by GXS;
• Report without delay to GXS any conflict of interest, ongoing partnership or competitor solicitation received during their participation.

Any abusive, discriminatory, fraudulent, dishonest behaviour or behaviour harmful to GXS, its team, its customers or its commercial reputation may result in immediate suspension, permanent exclusion and forfeiture of benefits accrued, without compensation or indemnity.

5 — Exclusivity and ban on competitor advertising

5.1 — Definition of a Competitor

For the purposes of the Initiés programme, a “Competitor” is any legal or natural person, brand, retailer, website, marketplace, workshop, creator or commercial offering providing products or services that are substitutable, similar or competing with those sold by GXS Racing, including but not limited to: motorcycle graphic kits and design, rider accessories and equipment, paddock merchandise, vehicle customisation (motorcycle, quad, kart), motorcycle print and visual media, or any promotion / affiliate service directly competing with GXS’s business.

GXS reserves the right to determine, in its sole and final discretion, what constitutes a Competitor under the programme.

5.2 — Strict ban on competitor advertising

Throughout their participation in the Initiés programme (from acceptance of the application until suspension, exclusion or end of the programme), the Initié is formally and without exception prohibited, unless prior written agreement from GXS, from:

• creating, publishing, sponsoring, sharing or distributing any advertising, promotion, endorsement, favourable review, promo code, affiliate link, story, post, video, live stream, product placement or feature on behalf of a Competitor;
• participating in a paid or unpaid campaign (collaboration, ambassador, influencer, UGC, event, stand, jersey, helmet, decorated motorcycle…) promoting a Competitor on their channels or before their audience;
• presenting a Competitor as an alternative, substitute, “better choice” or preferred offer to GXS Racing, including through comparisons, reviews, rankings or “versus” content;
• diverting their audience, contacts or traffic generated by their Initié status towards a Competitor, third-party reseller or competing platform;
• displaying, wearing or visibly showing logos, stickers, graphics or visuals of competing brands in content linked to the Initiés programme or the promotion of GXS Racing.

No advertising on behalf of a Competitor is permitted, whether paid or unpaid, occasional or recurring, explicit or implicit.

5.3 — Mixed content and collaborations

Any content combining GXS Racing and a Competitor, or associating Initié status with a competing third-party brand, is strictly prohibited without prior written authorisation from GXS.

If approached by a Competitor, the Initié must decline the collaboration and inform GXS without delay at: contact@gxs-racing.com.

5.4 — Limited exceptions

The only possible exceptions are: obligations imposed by an official sporting organiser (mandatory event sponsors) or prior written agreement from GXS. The Initié must inform GXS before any publication or participation.

5.5 — Sanctions in the event of breach

Any violation of this section constitutes a serious breach resulting, at GXS’s discretion and without notice, in:

• immediate suspension of the Initié account and deactivation of the referral code;
• permanent exclusion from the programme, with no automatic reinstatement;
• cancellation or reclassification of sales and statistics under review;
• forfeiture of bonus tiers, rewards or benefits not yet delivered or used;
• demand for immediate removal of disputed content and, where applicable, claim for damages for commercial harm.

GXS may retain evidence (screenshots, archives, links) and transmit information to authorities or platforms in cases of fraud or counterfeiting.

6 — Bonus tiers and rewards

Gifts or bonus benefits may be unlocked at tiers of validated sales. Details of the tiers (thresholds, products, promo codes) are displayed in the Initié dashboard and may change.

Rewards are personal, non-exchangeable for cash unless otherwise stated, and subject to stock availability and product availability.

GXS may modify, replace or withdraw a tier for commercial or logistical reasons, with information provided in the Initié dashboard where relevant.

7 — Activity, inactivity and suspension

The programme requires regular and compliant activity. In the absence of a validated sale over an extended period (currently 5 months, configurable by GXS), the Initié account may be suspended and the code deactivated.

Each validated sale may extend the inactivity period (currently +2 weeks per sale, according to the rules displayed in the Initié dashboard).

GXS may suspend or terminate an Initié’s participation at any time in the event of a breach of these terms. The following are considered serious breaches in particular: competitor advertising (section 5), sales fraud, impersonation, misleading content, harm to GXS’s image or failure to meet loyalty obligations. In the event of a serious breach, GXS may act without notice or compensation.

8 — Image, content and intellectual property

By joining the programme, the Initié authorises GXS to re-share their promotional content (posts, motorcycle photos provided, screenshots) on GXS channels (website, social media, newsletter) as testimonials and programme promotion, unless they lodge a reasoned written objection.

GXS trademarks, logos and visuals remain the exclusive property of GXS. The Initié receives a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable at any time licence to use them strictly within the framework of the programme and in accordance with GXS instructions.

The Initié warrants that they hold the rights to the photos and content they submit, that they do not infringe third-party rights and that they contain no unauthorised competitor advertising or visuals. GXS may require removal or modification of non-compliant content.

9 — Personal data

Data collected (identity, contact details, social accounts, photos, sales statistics) is processed for management of the Initiés programme, application selection, tier tracking and communication with the Initié.

For any questions: contact@gxs-racing.com. Purchases on the website are also covered by the privacy policy and Terms.

10 — Amendment and termination

GXS may evolve the programme (discount rates, tiers, inactivity rules, these terms). The applicable version is that published on this page on the date of application or continued participation. Continued participation constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.

The Initié may request to leave the programme by contacting GXS at contact@gxs-racing.com. GXS may end the programme or an Initié’s participation in accordance with these terms, in particular in the event of a breach of exclusivity rules (section 5).

In the event of a dispute relating to the Initiés programme, and after an attempt at amicable resolution, the competent French courts at the registered office of GXS RACING shall have exclusive jurisdiction, subject to mandatory consumer protection rules.

These terms constitute the entire agreement between GXS and the Initié regarding the Initiés programme, excluding any verbal commitment not confirmed in writing by GXS.
