    2. following the verification mentioned above, the user must select a PIN code with a minimum length of five (5) digits and a maximum length of eight (8) digits;
    3. once the registration is completed, the user will be able to view the functionalities made available in the app.
  2. The registration does not grant any right or power to the user, except for those explicitly provided for in these Terms and Conditions.

  1. The geolocation of the user allows to offer several services and to facilitate the interaction with the smartphone. The geolocation is realised using the functions and features of the smartphone used (such as mobile telephone network and GPS).
