PREAMBLE

Subscriptions placed by Customers on the Site are governed by these GTC, to the exclusion of all other documents, catalogues, documentation from WITTYM (with the exception of the GTCU), which are communicated for information purposes only and have only an indicative value.

Consequently, the fact of ordering a Subscription on the Site implies the acceptance by the Customer of the GTC. Similarly, the Customer undertakes, during each of his visits to the Site, to respect the GTC and the GTCU.

No special condition may, unless prior written acceptance by WITTYM (in particular under the GTCU), prevail over the GTC. Any contrary condition set by the Customer, appearing in particular in his commercial documents, purchase orders, general conditions of purchase, will be unenforceable against WITTYM in the absence of prior written acceptance on his part.

Unless proven otherwise, the data recorded on the Site constitute proof of all transactions between WITTYM and the Customer.

The fact that WITTYM or the Customer does not avail itself at a given time of any of the clauses of the GTC can in no way be interpreted as a waiver, by WITTYM or the Customer, to subsequently avail itself of any of the said clauses.

WITTYM is free to modify the GTC at any time in order to adapt them to changes in the Site or legislation. The Customer is therefore advised to refer regularly to the latest version of the GTC available on the Site and to cease its use in the event of disagreement with the GTC in force.

If one or more of the clauses of the GTC is or becomes invalid under applicable law, this clause must be considered unwritten, the other clauses remaining in force. Thus, the nullity, cancellation or non-application of one or more clauses of the GTC, for any reason whatsoever, will not result in the nullity of all the GTC. The Parties undertake to consult each other to remedy the cause of nullity found so that the GTC continue.

WITTYM, as part of its duty to inform and advise, has made available to the Customer the necessary documentation on the site, namely video tutorials and a help section within the Site. It is the Customer’s responsibility, in particular on the basis of this information, to ensure the adequacy of the Service to its own needs. To this end, the Customer may, prior to acceptance of the Contract, request from the Service Provider any additional information and/or attend an additional demonstration of the Service, failing which, the Customer acknowledges having been sufficiently informed.

WITTYM will make its best efforts to provide a seamless service. It is expressly agreed between the Parties that depending on updates, upgrades and other types of maintenance WITTYM cannot guarantee the provision of a service without interruption.

GUARANTEE

WITTYM guarantees the compliance of each Service with its Documentation. WITTYM does not guarantee that the Service is free from any defects or hazards but undertakes to remedy, with all reasonable diligence, the malfunctions of the Service found in relation to its Documentation. This guarantee of conformity cannot be extended to a guarantee of conformity with the specific needs or activity of a Customer or User. WITTYM does not guarantee the ability of the Service to achieve objectives or results that the Customer has set for itself and/or to perform particular tasks that would have motivated it in its decision to conclude this Agreement.

To the extent permitted by law, any warranties other than those expressed in this article are expressly excluded.

WITTYM may develop, modify or organize the Service without the prior written consent of the Customer, provided that this does not reduce the Service Provider’s commitments under this Agreement.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

WITTYM is and remains the owner of the property rights relating to any element of the Service made available to the Customer, as well as more generally than to the IT infrastructure (software and hardware) implemented or developed under the Contract.

The Agreement does not confer on the Customer any ownership rights over the content of the Service. The temporary provision of the Service under the conditions provided for in the Contract cannot be analyzed as the assignment of any intellectual property right to the benefit of the Customer.

The Customer is prohibited from reproducing any element of the software, by any means whatsoever, in any form whatsoever and on any medium whatsoever.

CUSTOMER DATA

Property

The Customer is and remains the owner of all Incoming Data of all kinds, which he uses via the Service as part of the Contract.

Data exploitation

The Customer is solely responsible for the quality, lawfulness and relevance of the Data and content it transmits for the purpose of using the Services. He also guarantees to be the owner of the intellectual property rights allowing him to use the Data and contents.

Consequently, WITTYM disclaims all liability in the event of non-compliance of the Data and/or the contents with the laws and regulations, public order or the needs of the Customer. The Customer guarantees WITTYM on first demand against any damage resulting from its being called into question by a third party for a breach of this guarantee. More generally, the Customer is solely responsible for the content and messages disseminated and/or downloaded via the Service.

Use of Customer Data

WITTYM may compile anonymized Customer Data in order to conduct tests, improve the Service and create new services. The Data is combined in such a way that it cannot identify the Client, its projects, designs or any other information that can identify them. The Compiled Data will in no way include the confidential or personal data of the Customer and its Users.

WITTYM thus has a right to use the Outgoing Data.
In addition, this Outgoing Data may be transmitted to third parties, in particular for the following purposes:
compliance with legal or regulatory obligations,
carrying out technical studies.

The Customer may expressly object to the use of his Data for such purposes at the time of the conclusion of the Contract. In the latter case, only Data not yet used by WITTYM on the date of the Customer’s objection will be excluded from processing by WITTYM.

Use of Customer Data for statistical purposes

WITTYM may use the Customer Data to carry out the operations necessary to establish its invoices and usage statistics as well as to provide any explanation concerning the performance of the Service.

Likewise, WITTYM may compile aggregated and anonymized statistical information and may make it public provided that it does not constitute Personal Data.

CONFIDENTIALITY

From the opening to the closing of his Customer Account, the Customer may receive or have access to technical information, information on the Services, plans and strategies, promotions, customers, as well as related information of a non-technical nature that WITTYM considers confidential.

In particular, the following information is considered confidential:
customer information, production, know-how,
information relating to trade secrets and trade marks,
the price lists and discounts granted to the Customer,
and more generally any information communicated by WITTYM declared confidential.

The Customer undertakes to ensure the security of this confidential information by using, in order to prevent its unauthorized use, dissemination or publication, the same degree of precaution (but, in no case, a degree of precaution lower than the reasonable degree) as that to which it resorts for the protection of its own confidential information of a similar nature and value.

Upon closing of the Customer Account, for any reason whatsoever, the Customer undertakes to return free of charge to WITTYM all the documents he has obtained or produced and not to keep any copy. He will justify it by the production of a written certificate of destruction signed by a duly authorized person.

The obligation of confidentiality will continue for a period of three (3) years after the closure of the Customer Account and also covers the information communicated before the signing of the present in the context of the negotiations. It will become null and void if the information becomes public without any intervention by the Party that has received the information or if the information that on the day of its disclosure to the Customer or its knowledge by the Customer is known to the public.

The Customer acknowledges that any breach or breach of its obligations is likely to cause or risk causing irreparable damage to WITTYM and, therefore, acknowledges that, in such an event, the Customer shall be entitled to resort to any measures to protect its interests, without limiting WITTYM’s right to legal action and claim increased damages.

The Customer respects the confidentiality provided for in this article by its employees, subsidiaries and generally all its subcontractors, successors and assigns.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

The Services offered on the Site comply with French legislation and Community regulations in force and applicable in France.

WITTYM cannot be held liable in the event of non-compliance with the legislation of the country where the Services are used.

WITTYM can in no way be responsible

In such an eventuality, WITTYM may at the request of the User redo a process of extraction of the source file to have an image file corresponding to the expectations of the Guest User.

In any event and within the limits permitted by law, in the event that WITTYM’s liability is retained, the total amount of compensation that WITTYM may be required to pay to the Customer may not exceed the sale price of the Services concerned invoiced to the Customer, regardless of the legal basis of the claim and the procedure used to bring it to fruition.

Any compensation will only be made by WITTYM upon presentation by the Customer of the corresponding invoice for the Services.

INSURANCE

The Customer undertakes to take out an insurance policy guaranteeing his professional civil liability for all activities and obligations arising from the purchase of Services from WITTYM.

The Customer undertakes to maintain this policy until the closure of his Customer Account and to provide proof on request to WITTYM, by providing him with a certificate from his insurers listing the guarantees subscribed, their amount and their period of validity.

Any modification, suspension or termination of this insurance policy, for any reason whatsoever, must be reported to WITTYM as soon as possible.

The obligations of the Parties shall be suspended for the duration of the force majeure. The defaulting Party shall use all its efforts to limit the duration and effects of the cause of force majeure.

However, in the event that the event of force majeure extends beyond eighty (90) calendar days, each of the Parties will be entitled to request the closure of the Customer Account and cancellation of orders in progress and automatically with immediate effect the Contract by sending a registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt.
