(hereinafter referred to as the "Solution").
The Solution provides access to the creation of Internet Evidence, document timestamping, and also to specific options specifically developed for the Client (hereinafter referred to as the "Services").

The Client can subscribe to a subscription allowing them to acquire one or more licenses to use the Solution (hereinafter the "Subscription"), which they can freely distribute to individuals of their choice (hereinafter the "User(s)") under the conditions defined below.

The Solution and Services are accessible to:
Any natural person acting in the course of their professional activity and having full legal capacity to enter into contracts under these General Terms of Service.
Any legal person acting through a natural person having the legal capacity to contract on behalf and for the account of the legal person. The Solution and the associated Services are not intended to be used by individuals considered as consumers within the meaning of the introductory article of the Consumer Code reproduced below:
"A consumer is any natural person who acts for purposes that do not fall within the scope of his commercial, industrial, craft or liberal activity."

Clients can subscribe to the Solution and Services either by subscribing directly on the Site through the dedicated form or by contacting Pictia.
Before subscribing to a Subscription, Pictia makes available all the documentation relating to the Services offered and the minimum configuration required for the proper functioning of the Solution and Services (Technical Advice from Pictia).

The Client can subscribe directly to a Subscription by using the dedicated form on the Website or on the platform itself.
Once the Subscription is selected, the Client will need to create an account on the Solution (hereinafter referred to as the "Account").
Once the dedicated form is filled out, a confirmation email will be sent to the Client's email address for them to validate their Account.
After the Account is validated, the Client can access the payment module to settle the Subscription price directly within the platform. Prior to that, the Client must have filled in the fields related to their personal (and potentially professional) information in the "account" section of their account. Once the payment is validated, an invoice will be accessible in the "invoice" section of their account.

The Client can also subscribe to the Solution and Services by directly contacting Pictia. It is the responsibility of the Client contacting Pictia to provide all the relevant information necessary for Pictia to identify their needs and expectations.
Pictia will prepare a quote or a contract taking into account the Client's needs, specifying in particular the nature, scope, price, and number of licenses (hereinafter referred to as the "Quote" or the "Contract"), which will be sent to the Client.
Unless otherwise stated, the Quote is valid for one month from its issuance. In the absence of validation by the Client within this period, it will become null and void.
Upon receipt of the signed Quote or Contract, Pictia will create an Account in the name of the Client under the conditions provided above.

The Client expressly acknowledges and accepts that subscribing to a Subscription via the dedicated online form or through a Quote or a customized Contract constitutes a firm and definitive order for the subscription to the use of the Solution and Services. Any cancellation or retraction that occurs after payment will be governed by the provisions of Article 22 (Termination of Contract).
Any subscription to an additional service or upgrade to a higher Subscription plan will be subject to a quote or an amendment to the contract and, if applicable, an additional fee.

The present General Terms and Conditions of Service are:
Either accepted online through a checkbox when subscribing to a Subscription. At the time of subscription, the Client can consult the present General Terms and Conditions of Service in order to become aware of them and keep them in a permanent format.
Or accepted by a Client when signing an Estimate transmitted by Pictia or a Contract. In this case, the present General Terms and Conditions of Service will be accessible to the Client in a permanent format for their awareness.
Or expressly signed in case of negotiation in the context of a specific request.
The signature of an Estimate or a Contract, the issuance of a purchase order referring to an Estimate, or the acceptance of the General Terms and Conditions of Service online implies their acceptance without any reservation, making all purchasing conditions inapplicable.
Any subscription to Pictia's Solution and Services implies the acceptance, without reservation, of these terms.
If the Client does not accept all the provisions contained in these General Terms and Conditions of Service, Pictia will not be able to provide access to the Solution and Services to the Client. Any subscription subject to reservation is considered null and void.
For specific needs that do not fit into the formulas offered by Pictia, specific service conditions may be negotiated based on the Client's needs for an additional fee.

Pictia grants the Client a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the Chainote Solution and Services, during the entire duration of the Subscription. The Client may only use the Solution and Services in accordance with the Terms of Use (TOU) accessible from the Site. In particular, the license relating to the Solution is granted solely for the purpose of allowing the Client and its Users access to the Solution and use of the Services, to the exclusion of any other purpose.
The right of use means the right to use the Solution and Services in accordance with their intended use, in SaaS mode via a connection to an electronic communication network.
The Client may not rent, sublet, or make the Solution available to a third party and strictly prohibits any other use, in particular any adaptation, modification, translation, arrangement, dissemination, decompilation, without this list being exhaustive.
To this end, each Client is responsible for its Users who will have a license to access the Solution and Services.
The conditions of access to the Solution and Services (number of named and/or floating licenses, number of reports that can be made, number of document timestamps that can be made, maximum size of uploaded files, support, privacy options, automation options, server options, enterprise authentication, connected applications, etc.) are those provided for in the Estimate or Contract or according to the chosen Subscription plan.
If the Client wishes to increase the maximum number of licenses it benefits from, it must inform Pictia in writing (particularly by email). Pictia will send the Client a new quote including the new Subscription Terms and the corresponding price as soon as possible. Upon acceptance, the new rate will apply and will be invoiced immediately.
The internet evidence reports produced by the Chainote platform are intended for the Client for personal use, for individual defense purposes. Any other use, such as distribution, sale, or resale of the internet evidence reports to third parties, is strictly prohibited for the Client. However, the Client may transmit the internet evidence reports to third parties after purchasing licenses for the internet evidence reports and for those third parties on the Chainote platform. Furthermore, these third parties can directly purchase these licenses on the Chainote platform if the Client offers the option to purchase the internet evidence reports on the Chainote platform, and they will thus obtain the internet evidence reports after purchasing the licenses. The terms of use for the internet evidence reports are specified in these licenses.

The reports produced by Chainote are intended strictly for personal and professional use by the Client user. Any other use, including making available, commercializing, or reselling the reports, is strictly prohibited unless the user has subscribed to the "Nominal Resale Option" and complies with the associated conditions.

Chainote users are strictly prohibited from making available, commercializing, or reselling the reports generated by the platform unless they have subscribed to the "Nominal Resale Option" offered by Chainote.

Any violation of this resale restriction without subscribing to the appropriate option may result in the immediate termination of the user's account and legal action for infringement of intellectual property rights.

Each user license allows the Client or one of its Users to create an Account on the Solution.
The Client and its Users can access their Account at any time after identifying themselves using their login credentials and password or via the Single Sign-On (SSO) system.
The login credentials and passwords are strictly personal and confidential. Therefore, the Client and its Users are prohibited from disclosing them to any third party. They are equally responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of their login credentials and password; any access to the Solution using these credentials is deemed to be made by the corresponding Client or its Users. The Client undertakes, on its behalf and on behalf of its Users, not to use a generic identifier shared by multiple individuals.
The Client and its Users also agree not to allow the use of their Account by any third party.
If the Client or its Users become aware that their Account has been used without their knowledge, they must immediately contact Pictia using the contact information provided in Article 1 hereof (Solution and Services Operator). They acknowledge that Pictia has the right to take appropriate measures in such cases.

The subscription takes effect from the date of acceptance hereof and subject to payment of the agreed price or on the agreed date between the Parties, for the duration specified in the chosen Subscription plan, Quote, or Contract (the "Subscription Period"). Upon expiration, the Subscription shall be automatically renewed for a duration equal to the initial Subscription Period. The Client may terminate the Subscription under the conditions specified in Article 22 (Contract Termination).

The price of the Subscription is as indicated in the chosen Subscription plan, Quote, or Contract. Unless stated otherwise, Subscription prices are stated in euros and exclusive of taxes. The prices mentioned in the Subscription plans do not include the setup of any additional options requested by the Client, which are subject to specific pricing.
Pictia reserves the right, at its sole discretion and under terms that it alone shall determine, to propose promotional offers or price reductions.

The above-mentioned tariffs may be revised by Pictia at any time, at its sole discretion.
The Client shall be informed of such changes by Pictia through any useful written means (including email) at least one (1) month prior to the effective date of the new tariffs.
Once in effect, the new tariffs shall apply upon the renewal of the Subscription.
The Client who does not accept the new tariffs must terminate the Subscription in accordance with the conditions specified in Article 22 (Contract Termination). Otherwise, they shall be deemed to have accepted the new tariffs.

The Services are subject to monthly or annual invoices according to the modalities chosen by the Client. The billing cycle is always indicated in the Subscription plans or in the transmitted Quote or Contract. In order to reduce its environmental impact, Pictia no longer provides paper invoices. The Client expressly agrees that all invoices transmitted to them in digital format are considered original invoices.

The payment of the subscription price can be made online by credit card, bank transfer, or direct debit (SEPA) through the payment service provider indicated on the Website (hereinafter referred to as the "Payment Service Provider"), or by any other means offered on the Website at the time of ordering.
Credit card payments are processed by the Payment Service Provider, who is solely responsible for storing the Client's banking details for this purpose. Pictia does not process or store any banking details.
The price of the Subscription is due and the payment is made on the day of subscribing to the Subscription and subsequently on its anniversary date upon each renewal.
The Client guarantees Pictia that they have the necessary authorizations to use the chosen payment method. They undertake to take the necessary measures to enable the automatic debit of the Subscription price.
Pictia also accepts checks and purchase orders.

The Client is informed and expressly accepts that any delay in payment of all or part of a sum due on its due date automatically results, without prejudice to the provisions of Article 17 (Sanction for Breach), and from the day following the payment due date indicated on the invoice:
- The forfeiture of the term of all amounts due by the Client and their immediate exigibility;
- The immediate suspension of ongoing Services until full payment of all amounts due by the Client;
- The billing, to the benefit of Pictia, of a late payment interest at a rate of 3 times the legal interest rate, based on the amount of all sums due by the Client, and a lump sum indemnity of 40 euros for collection costs, without prejudice to additional compensation if the collection costs actually incurred exceed this amount.

In order to improve the Solution and the Services, Pictia may need to perform maintenance operations. In this case, Pictia will inform the Client and the Users at least 3 days in advance through a notification in their Account. Whenever possible, maintenance operations will take place outside of business hours (8am - 7pm) and under the conditions defined in the Service Level Agreement (SLA).

The Solution and the Services may undergo changes, variations, or extensions by Pictia at any time, provided that these modifications do not substantially compromise the nature or quality of the Solution and Services to which the Client has subscribed. Changes that are considered non-substantial include: Solution updates, system compliance updates, network changes for data routing, and changes in the geographical location for server hosting.
Pictia reserves the right to make any emergency changes to the Solution and Services required for reasons of security, safety, or any other nature. These changes must not substantially compromise the nature or quality of the Solution and Services. Pictia will promptly inform the Client of any such changes made to the Services.

The Client owns the Content uploaded and disseminated via the Solution and Services. The Client guarantees that they have all the necessary authorizations for storage and dissemination. The Client is solely responsible for the Content hosted on the Solution and the information transmitted or collected, for which Pictia - acting as a host - assumes no responsibility.
Pictia owns all usage data generated by the Client and/or its Users, used for statistical purposes and for improving the Solution and Services.

The Client and its Users have access to online support accessible here. Depending on the chosen Subscription, they may also benefit from support via email, live chat, and telephone to report any anomalies, bugs, or unavailability of the Solution and Services to Pictia.
The support conditions are defined according to the chosen Subscription terms.

Pictia guarantees that the Solution does not infringe on prior rights and does not violate the rights of third parties.
Pictia is only bound by an obligation of means with regard to the commitments set forth herein concerning access to the Solution and the Services that depend on the internet.
The Client expressly acknowledges that Pictia cannot be held responsible for the inability to access the Solution and interruptions of the Services or damages related to: a decision by the authorities;
difficulty of access due to the quality of the internet network and mobile telephony networks;
non-compliant use of the Solution and Services with the General Terms of Use;
abnormal or fraudulent use by the Client, its Users, or third parties requiring the service to be stopped for security reasons;
difficulty of access to the Solution due to technical maintenance operations aimed at its improvement;
difficulty of access or use of the Solution and Services due to an incident occurring within Pictia's service providers (including hosting providers);

the occurrence of any other situation constituting a case of force majeure under the applicable French law and the jurisprudence of French courts and tribunals.
Pictia undertakes to provide the Solution and the Services with diligence and in accordance with the rules of the art, it being specified that it has an obligation of means, to the exclusion of any obligation of result, which the Client expressly acknowledges and accepts.
Pictia's liability is limited to providing tools and technical means enabling the Client and its Users to organize Sessions, animate them, and/or participate in them. Pictia does not intervene in any way in the organization or animation of these Sessions.
Pictia acts in its own name and does not enter into any legal act on behalf of and for the account of the Clients and their Users, who contract directly with each other.
Pictia is not a party to contracts concluded between the Client and its Users, Facilitators, Moderators, and Participants and shall not be held liable under any circumstances for difficulties that may arise during the conclusion or execution of these contracts or for any disputes that may arise therefrom.
Likewise, Pictia cannot be held responsible for temporary difficulties or impossibility of accessing the Solution resulting from circumstances beyond its control, force majeure, or disruptions in telecommunications networks.
Pictia does not guarantee to the Clients: (i) that the Services, subject to constant research to improve their performance and progress, will be completely free from errors, defects, or faults, (ii) that the Services, being standard and not specifically offered to the sole intention of the Client, will meet their specific needs and expectations.
In this context, Pictia's liability is limited to the sole direct, personal, and certain damages suffered by the Client – up to date with all due payments – excluding the express repair of any indirect and immaterial damages and/or losses, such as: (a) loss of profits, sales, business activity, or revenue, (b) business interruption, (c) loss of anticipated savings, (d) loss or corruption of data or information, (e) loss of business opportunities, customers, or reputation; or (f) any loss, expense, charge, damage, cost, special, indirect, consequential, or purely economic losses, whether reasonably foreseeable or not, even if Pictia has been informed of the possibility that the Client may incur such losses or this type of loss, or if the repair, replacement, or refund of the Solution does not fully compensate the Client for the losses suffered. In all cases, the amount of compensation will be capped at an amount equivalent to 2 monthly payments due under the Contract.

The Client guarantees Pictia against any claims, complaints, actions, and/or demands that Pictia may suffer as a result of the Client or its Users' violation of any of its obligations or guarantees under these General Terms of Service, the General Terms of Use, or a violation of applicable laws and regulations. The Client undertakes to indemnify Pictia for any damage it may suffer and to pay all expenses, charges, and/or convictions that it may have to bear as a result. In the event of fraudulent use of the Client's or its Users' credentials due to the fault or negligence attributable to the Client or any User under its control or hierarchical authority, the Client will be liable to Pictia for any loss or deterioration of data, of any kind, and more generally for any damage suffered as a result of unauthorized use of the Solution and Services.

In the event of a breach of any provision of these General Terms of Service or, more generally, a violation of applicable laws and regulations by the Client or one of its Users:

Pictia also reserves the right to terminate the Client's or one of its Users' access to the Solution and Services:
either automatically, fifteen (15) days after receipt by the Client or one of its Users of a formal notice that has remained ineffective, sent by registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt, stating the intention to apply this clause;
or in the event of a repetition of a breach previously notified by registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt, the termination will then take effect automatically on the date of sending the registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt indicating the repeated breach.
Termination automatically results in the deletion of the disputed Account, without prejudice to any other consequences that may arise under these General Terms of Service.

Neither Party shall be held liable for a breach of any of its contractual obligations resulting from the occurrence of a force majeure event, as usually understood by the jurisprudence of French courts. Events considered as force majeure, in addition to those usually recognized by the jurisprudence of French courts and tribunals, include: wars, social unrest (strikes or lockouts), terrorist acts, inclement weather, epidemics, earthquakes, floods, water damage, fires, blockage of communication, transportation, or supply means (including telecommunications networks), etc.
Initially, the execution of the contract will be suspended for a period of one month.
If the force majeure event lasts for more than one month, each Party may terminate the contract at any time by sending a registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt to the other Party, without notice and without any indemnities on either side.
The Party invoking the benefit of force majeure must inform the other Party as soon as possible by sending a registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt. This letter will include a brief description of the event presenting the characteristics of force majeure, as well as an estimate of its duration, and inform the other Party of the foreseeable consequences of force majeure on the performance of the Contract.

All software, information presentations, games, trade names, commercial names, texts, comments, images, illustrations, product or service trademarks, inventions, and, in general, any creation, of any kind, accessible through Pictia's websites, remain the exclusive property of their respective owners, namely Pictia.

In the unlikely event that the Client has access to the Solution in its source code form, the Client must not modify, reproduce, adapt, deposit, or disclose the source code of the Solution under any circumstances.

Pictia cannot be held responsible in any way for the technical availability of websites or mobile applications operated by third parties (including any potential partners) that the Client or its Users may access through the Site. Pictia assumes no responsibility for the content, advertisements, products, and/or services available on such third-party websites and mobile applications, which are governed by their own terms of use. Pictia is also not responsible for any transactions between the Client and any advertiser, professional, or merchant (including any potential partners) to which the Client may be directed through the Site and shall in no event be a party to any disputes whatsoever with these third parties concerning, in particular, the delivery of products and/or services, warranties, statements, and any other obligations to which these third parties may be subject.

Pictia and the Client undertake to comply, each for their own part, with the provisions of the law on Information Technology and Liberties of January 6, 1978 in its current version (hereinafter referred to as the "Information Technology and Liberties Law") and the General Data Protection Regulation (EU Regulation 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of April 27, 2016, hereinafter referred to as the "GDPR"). In this regard, the Client declares to be informed that Pictia has a personal data protection policy, the characteristics of which are explained in the document entitled "Privacy Policy," which they are expressly invited to review, available here and accessible on the Site. Pictia also takes all necessary measures to assist Clients and Users in complying with their obligations and provides them with all necessary information in the Personal Data Processing Agreement available upon simple request to the address: [email protected].

In the case of a subscription via the online form, the Client may terminate their Subscription according to the subscribed Subscription Terms from their Account at any time.
In the case of a subscription via a Quote or a Contract, the Client may terminate their Subscription by requesting it directly by email to the designated contact person at Pictia or by default to the address [email protected], at any time and no later than three (3) months before the end of the Subscription Period. This request must be unambiguous. Pictia will acknowledge receipt of the request within 72 hours and invite the Client to complete a termination confirmation form. In this case, the contract will end at the scheduled term and will not entail any additional fees other than the price of the Subscription.
In the event that the Client initiates the termination of the Subscription before its term, they will remain liable for the full amount owed to Pictia for the Subscription as if it had been completed.
In the event that Pictia initiates the termination, if the Client has already paid amounts for a duration beyond the expiration date of the Subscription, Pictia will refund the Client on a prorated basis.

In the event of total or partial non-performance or non-compliant performance by either Party of any of its obligations, the injured Party may formally request the defaulting Party to fulfill its obligations within fifteen (15) days from the occurrence of total, partial, or non-compliant non-performance by registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt. The contract will be terminated automatically, without any further notice or formality being required, and without prejudice to the right of the injured Party to claim damages after a period of thirty (30) days following the sending of the registered letter of formal notice with acknowledgment of receipt that remained unsuccessful.

The security measures implemented by Pictia are defined in the Information Systems Security Policy (PSSI). The minimum service level of the Solution is defined in the SLA. These documents are available upon simple request to the following address: [email protected].

The provisions of the Consumer Code relating to the right of withdrawal do not apply to relations between professionals, which the Client expressly accepts.

The Client, being a professional, expressly authorizes Pictia to cite them and, if necessary, to use the reproduction of their trademarks or logo as commercial references, particularly during events or exhibitions, in their commercial documents and on their website, in any form.

The Client may not assign their obligations arising from these terms to a third party without the written authorization of Pictia. The request must be made in writing at least thirty (30) days prior to such assignment. In the event of no response within fifteen (15) days from the receipt of the written request, Pictia will be deemed to have refused the assignment. Pictia may at any time transfer, assign, or provide to a third party, in any form whatsoever, all or part of its rights or obligations arising from these terms, after having informed the Client in advance, who will not be able to oppose it.

Pictia reserves the right to modify these General Terms of Service at any time. The Client will be informed of these modifications by any useful means at least thirty (30) days before they come into effect. The Client who does not accept the modified General Terms of Service must unsubscribe from the Solution and Services in accordance with the provisions set out in Article 22 (Termination of the Contract). Any Client who uses the Solution and Services after the effective date of the modified General Terms of Service is deemed to have accepted these modifications.

The Client expressly acknowledges and accepts: that the data collected on the Solution and Pictia's computer equipment shall be evidence of the operations carried out under these terms, that this data constitutes the principal mode of proof between the Parties, particularly for the calculation of amounts owed to Pictia. The Client or its Users may access this data from their Account.

The signatory of the Contract must have the power to sign and/or accept these General Terms of Service to bind the legal entity that subscribes to the Solution and Services. In the event that the legal entity disputes being bound by this Contract due to the absence of power to bind it by the signatory of this Contract, the signatory of this Contract will be jointly and severally liable for all amounts that would be due under this Contract. Pictia will therefore be entitled to demand full payment of amounts due from the signatory of the Contract or the person who issued an order following the issuance of a Quote or online acceptance of these General Terms of Service.

In the event of a translation of these General Terms of Service into one or more languages, the French language shall prevail in the event of any contradiction or dispute regarding the meaning of a term or provision.

Any disputes arising in connection with the validity, interpretation, performance or non-performance, interruption or termination of this contract shall be subject to a prior attempt at conciliation.

These General Terms of Service are governed by French law. In the event of a dispute regarding the validity, interpretation, and/or performance of these General Terms of Service, the Parties agree that the courts of Lyon shall have exclusive jurisdiction, unless there are conflicting mandatory procedural rules.

If any provision of these terms is found to be null and void in light of a valid legal rule or a final court decision, it shall be deemed unwritten, without affecting the validity of the other provisions contained herein.

Pictia's failure to enforce any clause of these General Terms of Service shall not be interpreted as a waiver of the right to enforce that clause in the future. Any waiver of any provision of these terms must be made in writing.
