This document aims at defining the rules a member of the organization called Rézo Metz has to respect, according to its applicable statutes. In case of a difference between the French version and this translation despite our efforts to translate it faithfully, the French version prevails. References will be made to the members of the organization using the term “members”, to the Organization Rézo Metz with “Rézo”, and to the CentraleSupélec school, and designated by this last term. Any failure to comply with these rules and regulations or any attempt to bypass the rules set by the Rézo may lead, in addition to sanctions taken by CentraleSupélec and penalties prescribed by the law, to a temporary or permanent disconnection of the member by the Rézo, without advance notice. According to the statutes in force, the concerned member is invited to submit their written and, if the user wants to, oral observations to the steering committee. The decision is left to the discretion of the steering committee of the Rézo.
