ARTICLE 7 – Obligations and responsibilities of the parties

7.1. Obligations and responsibility of the User

The User is solely responsible for the proper use of the Application under the conditions strictly defined by these General Conditions. The User agrees not to use the Application for professional or commercial purposes.

He agrees not to provide false data, including false names and contact information.

7.2. Obligations and liability of the Company

The Company will take all necessary steps and care to ensure the proper performance of its obligations. It may be exempted from all or part of its responsibility by proving that the non-performance or poor performance of its obligations is attributable either to the User, or to an unforeseeable and insurmountable event, or to a third party, or to a case of force majeure.

The Application provided by the Company benefits by right and without additional payment, in accordance with legal provisions :

– the legal guarantee of conformity for lack of conformity ;

– the legal warranty against hidden defects making the Application unfit for use, under the conditions and according to the terms set out in the box below and defined in articles 1641 and following of the Civil Code.

The consumer is entitled to the implementation of the legal guarantee of conformity in case of appearance of a defect of conformity during the period of his registration. During this period, the consumer is only required to establish the existence of the lack of conformity and not the date of its appearance.

The legal guarantee of conformity entails the obligation to provide all the updates necessary to maintain the conformity of the digital content or the digital service during the duration of the User’s registration.

The legal guarantee of conformity gives the consumer the right to have the digital content or service brought into conformity without undue delay following his request, without cost and without major inconvenience to him.

1° The professional refuses to bring the digital content or service into compliance ;

2° The compliance of the digital content or service is unjustifiably delayed ;

3° The digital content or digital service cannot be brought into conformity without imposing costs on the consumer ;

4° the compliance of the digital content or service causes a significant inconvenience to the consumer

5° The non-conformity of the digital content or service persists despite the trader’s unsuccessful attempt to bring it into conformity.

The consumer is also entitled to a reduction in price or to termination of the contract where the lack of conformity is so serious that it justifies the reduction in price or rescission of the contract being immediate. In such cases, the consumer is not required to request that the digital content or service be brought into conformity beforehand.

In cases where the lack of conformity is minor, the consumer is only entitled to rescind the contract if the contract does not provide for payment of a price.

Any period of unavailability of the digital content or digital service for the purpose of restoring its conformity suspends the warranty that remained until the digital content or digital service was supplied in conformity again.

These rights result from the application of articles L. 224-25-1 to L. 224-25-31 of the Consumer Code.

A professional who obstructs in bad faith the implementation of the legal guarantee of conformity is liable to a civil fine of up to 300,000 euros, which can be increased to 10% of the average annual turnover (Article L. 242-18-1 of the Consumer Code).

The consumer also benefits from the legal guarantee of hidden defects pursuant to Articles 1641 to 1649 of the Civil Code, for a period of two years from the discovery of the defect. This guarantee entitles the consumer to a price reduction if the digital content or service is retained, or to a full refund in exchange for renouncing the digital content or service.

ARTICLE 8 – Right of withdrawal

8.1. Deadlines and terms

For subscriptions taken out on the Application, the Company, in accordance with the regulations in force, informs the User that, as a consumer, he has the possibility of withdrawing without reason within fourteen (14) days from the conclusion of the contract, for service delivery contracts.

To exercise his right of withdrawal, the User must notify the Company of his decision to withdraw from the contract by means of an unambiguous statement (e.g. letter sent by post, fax or e-mail). The User may use the withdrawal form available in Appendix 2 of this document but this is not mandatory. If the User exercises his right of withdrawal by e-mail, the Company will send him without delay an acknowledgement of receipt of the withdrawal on a durable medium.

In order for the withdrawal period to be respected, it is sufficient for the User to transmit his communication concerning the exercise of the right of withdrawal before the expiration of the withdrawal period. This right of withdrawal is exercised without penalty.

8.2. Repayment terms

In the event of withdrawal by the User, the Company will refund all payments received from the User, without undue delay, and in any event no later than fourteen (14) days from the day it is informed of the User’s decision to withdraw.

8.3. Waiver of the right of withdrawal

In accordance with article L. 221-25 of the French Consumer Code, the supply of digital content not provided on a physical medium may begin during the withdrawal period if the User gives his prior express consent. By requesting access to the paid features of the Application before the end of the above withdrawal period, the User expressly acknowledges the loss of his right of withdrawal.

The User who has exercised his right of withdrawal from a contract for the provision of services whose performance has begun, at his express request, before the end of the withdrawal period shall pay the professional an amount corresponding to the service provided until the communication of his decision to withdraw; this amount is proportionate to the total price of the service provided.
