Part I: DESCRIPTION OF THE RZ-RETAIL SERVICES



Article 1 – Presentation of the Service

RZ-RETAIL is a Service intended for professional Users in the tyre sector.

Once the User has registered, RZ-RETAIL provides them with services comparing the prices of car tyres, tracked daily by LIZEO ONLINE MEDIA GROUP.

The RZ-RETAIL Service provides professional Users with sales and technical data from the tyre sector (product data sheets, tests, trials, technical information regarding vehicles and tyres, etc.).


It offers free search functions that enable the User to locate tyres proposed on the websites referenced on RZ-RETAIL via key words and technical terms. The purpose of these searches is to enable comparison of sales and technical characteristics and the drawing up customizing quotations for the User’s clients.

The results provided as a result of the search feature are not exhaustive and do not cover all the offers available on the Internet and in trade outlets. These results come from the data gathered by RZ-RETAIL from referenced websites or manufacturers.

LIZEO ONLINE MEDIA GROUP shall do its utmost to ensure continuity in tracking and providing data from the selected websites. In the event of recurring technical difficulties preventing the extraction of data from a selected site, the User accepts that the price gathering database may experience temporal discontinuity.
