4 Purpose of the agreement – Quality of Service
4.1 The purpose of the Agreement is to define the terms and conditions under which CONTEXEO provides, through the use of the Software, the SaaS Service to the CUSTOMER in return for payment of the SaaS License fee set out in the Special Terms and Conditions. The use of the SaaS Service is granted to the CUSTOMER for the sole benefit of their Users, for the sole purpose of their business, and not to process data for the benefit of third parties, free of charge or against payment.

(i) together, explicitly and exhaustively describe the essential attributes of the SaaS Service provided by CONTEXEO (art. 1133 Civil Code), excluding any implicit qualities that the CUSTOMER may expect from and that CONTEXEO cannot legitimately know, and
(ii) together, make CONTEXEO’s SaaS Service of a quality consistent with the legitimate expectations of the CUSTOMER and CONTEXEO, taking into account the nature of the services constituting together and indivisibly CONTEXEO’s SaaS Service, the uses and the amount of compensation that the CUSTOMER commits to pay CONTEXEO to use the SaaS Service (art. 1166 Civil Code).
4.5 Prior to the SaaS service production launch, CONTEXEO commits to provide Technical Implementation Services, which are invoiced separately and are payable by the CUSTOMER, in accordance with the terms set out in the Special Terms and Conditions, even if the Agreement is terminated during the trial period. Prior completion of Technical Implementation services is necessary for the SaaS Service production launch.
4.6 Upon CUSTOMER request, CONTEXEO may provide additional services (guidance, support, setup, training, etc.), other than those explicitly included in the definition of the SaaS Service. Any additional services to be performed by CONTEXEO must be subject to a quote from CONTEXEO. The CUSTOMER must express written acceptance before any work is carried out by CONTEXEO. These services are billed separately, in addition to the SaaS License fee.
5 Strict limitations of the Software and SaaS Service use
5.1 The Agreement includes the right to use the Software only for the Initial Term set forth in the Special Terms and Conditions, on a non-exclusive and non-transferable basis, and may not be sublicensed, transferred or made available to any third party, whether free of charge or against payment, under any practical or legal terms, except for the benefit of another company of the CUSTOMER’s corporate group in accordance with Article 15.8 "Agreement cession". The SaaS Service and the Software are intended for the CUSTOMER:
(i) only with remote access to the Platform chosen by CONTEXEO, in compliance with the rules of identification and allocation of the access rights by the Users selected by the CUSTOMER via the software's back office;
(ii) only for the processing operations of CUSTOMER's Business Data by Users under the limited conditions defined in this article and in the Special Terms & Conditions.
5.2 The strict respect by the CUSTOMER of CONTEXEO's intellectual property rights and the conditions under which CONTEXEO grants the CUSTOMER the right to use the Software to benefit from the SaaS Service together constitute an explicit essential attribute of the CUSTOMER's provision expected by CONTEXEO (art. 1133 Civil Code). Any modification or attempt by the CUSTOMER to modify the terms and conditions of access or use of the Software or SaaS Service (access to the SaaS Service by any means not authorized or not provided for by CONTEXEO, unauthorized increase of the number of Users, etc.) or any use of the Software or SaaS Service under conditions undefined in the Agreement, without the prior written consent of CONTEXEO, represents a considerable danger to CONTEXEO’s sustainability, intellectual property of the Software constituting an essential asset. Consequently, any modification or attempt to modify the conditions of use of the SaaS Service, the Software or the Platform, whether voluntary or not, by the CUSTOMER, is deemed to constitute a sufficiently serious CUSTOMER breach enabling CONTEXEO to use their right to immediately suspend the SaaS Service (art. 1219 Civil Code) from the date CONTEXEO notifies the CUSTOMER, including e-mails confirmed by a notification (Article 15.9 "Notification").
5.3 The login credentials of the CUSTOMER's Users to the Software are personal and confidential. They are allocated by the CUSTOMER's Administrator under the responsibility of the CUSTOMER. They may only be changed by the CUSTOMER or, for computer security reasons, at CONTEXEO's initiative, provided that the CUSTOMER is immediately notified. The CUSTOMER agrees to take all necessary measures to keep Users' login details secret and not to disclose them in any form whatsoever. The CUSTOMER is solely responsible for the use of the login credentials and is solely responsible for their management through the software's back office. In general, the CUSTOMER assumes responsibility for the physical and logical security of access terminals to the Software (computers, smartphones, tablets, etc.). In the event that the CUSTOMER is aware that an unauthorized person would have access to the Software, the CUSTOMER agrees to immediately inform CONTEXEO. In the event of loss, theft or usurpation of a User login credential, the CUSTOMER will use the Software's back office feature enabling to retrieve or create new ones.
5.4 CONTEXEO reserves the right to collect data, exclusively anonymous and statistical, relating to the use of the SaaS Service by Users of the CUSTOMER and to verify compliance with Agreement provisions relating to the number and user profile of Authorized Users or to ensure the security of the information system (Software + Platform). The CUSTOMER agrees that CONTEXEO may use the CUSTOMER's Data solely for the purpose of improving the operation of the Software. CONTEXEO guarantees that the result of the CUSTOMER's data processing does not lead to any recording of the CUSTOMER's data outside the CUSTOMER's specific database. Any other use of the CUSTOMER's database and data by CONTEXEO must be subject to prior written authorization by the CUSTOMER.
5.5 It is the CUSTOMER's responsibility to ensure that none of the Users or buildings managed by the PLATFORM is located on the land of a country subject to an official embargo or export ban and/or use ban adopted by the United States of America, the European Union or France. The CUSTOMER agrees to fully and unreservedly identify and guarantee the consequences, in particular financial consequences (fines, penalties, compensations, etc.) of such negligence which would be charged to CONTEXEO.
5.6 For the entire Initial Term of the Agreement and for a period of eighteen (18) months following the effective termination of use of the SaaS Service by the CUSTOMER, the CUSTOMER shall not develop and/or commercialize, for their own benefit or for the benefit of third parties, any software or service that is in direct competition with the Software and/or the SaaS Service. The present CUSTOMER non-competition commitment constitutes (i) decisive information (art. 1112-1 Civil Code) of CONTEXEO's consent to contract with the CUSTOMER and/or (ii) an explicit essential attribute (art. 1133 Civil Code) of the CUSTOMER's provision expected by CONTEXEO. The CUSTOMER acknowledges that any failure to comply with the non-competition commitment is likely to cause CONTEXEO an extremely serious and manifestly unlawful disturbance, which could jeopardize the economic viability and profitability of CONTEXEO's business, and would likely lead to the Agreement nullity (Article 1137 Civil Code).
6 Trial period – Test – Acceptance – Setup
6.1 It is the CUSTOMER's responsibility to test the SaaS Service before the target production start date set in the Special Terms and Conditions. In the absence of any written and documented reservations prior to production, the SaaS Service is deemed to have been received without reservation from the moment it is being used, even partially, by the CUSTOMER under real operating conditions. As a determining factor for the proper functioning of the SaaS Service, the configuration of the Software prior to the Production launch of the SaaS Service, accessible via the software's back office, must be ensured by the CUSTOMER with the assistance of CONTEXEO if need be. Any subsequent modification of the SaaS service or Software’s parameters of use or functioning will be the sole responsibility of the CUSTOMER.
6.2 If a trial period is provided for in the Special Terms and Conditions of the SaaS Service, the CUSTOMER shall use the SaaS Service under actual operating conditions during this period, which will constitute the SaaS Service test period. Except in the event of termination of the Agreement notified by the CUSTOMER during this trial period under the conditions of the article "Termination", or in the absence of written and documented reservations relating to the SaaS Service during this same period, the SaaS Service shall be deemed to have been fully validated by the CUSTOMER on the Production Start Date. After the Production Start Date, any reservation relating to the Software or SaaS Service will be treated by CONTEXEO as part of the services described in the Appendix "Maintenance / Assistance / Support".
7 Agreement duration
7.1.1 The Agreement is formed and takes effect upon receipt by CONTEXEO of the CUSTOMER's acceptance of CONTEXEO's offer in the exact terms of CONTEXEO's offer (art. 1118 Civil Code), constituted of the whole signed by the CUSTOMER which includes (i) the General Terms and Conditions and (ii) the Special Terms and Conditions and which together and indivisibly constitute the Agreement. CONTEXEO reserves the right to interrupt at any time the performance of the services until the Agreement is accepted in full by the CUSTOMER. Therefore, in the absence of an Agreement duly signed by the CUSTOMER, any beginning of execution by CONTEXEO shall not be considered as a demonstration of willingness to form an Agreement within the meaning of article 1103 Civil Code.
7.1.2 The SaaS Service is concluded for the Initial Term set out in the Special Terms and Conditions. As a result, no termination "for convenience" is possible for the CUSTOMER during the Initial Term, except in the limited conditions of the article "Termination".
7.1.3 If the CUSTOMER does not wish for the Agreement to be renewed (art. 1214 Civil Code) or tacitly renewed (art. 1215 Civil Code) at the end of the Initial Term, it is incumbent on the CUSTOMER to stop using the SaaS Service completely as soon as the Initial Term expires and to prove this termination to CONTEXEO.
7 Tacit renewal
7.2.1 At the end of the Initial Term fixed in the Special Terms and Conditions, if the CUSTOMER continues to use the SaaS Service and CONTEXEO does not notify the CUSTOMER of the new amount of the SaaS License fee:
(i) the parties agree to enter into an Extension Amendment (Article "Amendment") prior to the expiration date of the Initial Term or retroactively, in which case the Agreement is extended (Article 1213 of the Civil Code) under fixed price and duration conditions set out in the Extension Amendment;
(ii) the Agreement is tacitly renewed (art. 1215 Civil Code) with identical content, for an indefinite period of time and the CUSTOMER then agrees to pay the amount of the SaaS License fee, which is then (a) automatically indexed according to the provisions of the article "Automatic Indexation" on the effective date of the tacit renewal and (b) payable quarterly, in advance (term to maturity), any quarter commenced being due, pro rata by quarter of the SaaS license fee amount indicated in the Special Terms and Conditions governing the Initial Term. SaaS License fee is then payable until the effective date of termination.
7.2.2 If the Agreement has been tacitly renewed (art. 1215 Civil Code), either party may terminate it at any time, subject to a minimum of thirty (30) days' notice before the end of the current quarter of renewal.
7.3 Renewal of the Agreement
7.3.1 If CONTEXEO notifies the CUSTOMER of the new SaaS License fee amount to be applied after the end of the Initial Term indicated in the Special Terms and Conditions:
(i) the parties agree to enter into an Extension Amendment (Art. 15.10 "Amendment") under the conditions set out in Article 7.2.1 (i);
(ii) the Agreement is renewed for an unlimited period (art. 1214 Civil Code) and the CUSTOMER then agrees to pay the new amount of the SaaS license fee quarterly, in advance (term to maturity), any quarter commencing being due. SaaS License fee is then payable until the effective date of termination, with any quarter commencing being due. If the CUSTOMER considers that CONTEXEO has not justified the increase in the SaaS License or that CONTEXEO is abusing their right to unilaterally determine the new amount of the SaaS License, it is their responsibility to apply either Article 1164 of the Civil Code or Article 1165 of the Civil Code.
7.3.2 If the Agreement has been renewed (art. 1214 Civil Code) for an unlimited period, either party may terminate the Agreement at any time, subject to prior notice (art. 1211 Civil Code) for a minimum period of ninety (30) days.
8 SaaS Service Availability
8.1 CONTEXEO guarantees, as part of a performance obligation, the availability rate of the SaaS Service as defined in the Special Terms and Conditions, from the time the SaaS Service is put into production and during the Initial Term set out in the Special Terms and Conditions. CONTEXEO's compliance with the availability rate of the SaaS Service is a quality of CONTEXEO's service in accordance with the legitimate expectations of the parties (art. 1166 Civil Code) based on the nature, uses and amount of compensation the CUSTOMER agrees to pay CONTEXEO to use the SaaS Service.
8.2 CONTEXEO commits to fulfil all other obligations under a on a best effort basis. CONTEXEO's subcontracted services (such as hosting) remain the sole responsibility of CONTEXEO towards the CUSTOMER.
8.3 The availability rate of the SaaS Service is calculated "from Mapwize’s Platform" and measured by a service provider, subcontractor of CONTEXEO, whose periodic reports are accessible to the CUSTOMER on the software’s back office. The duration of the unavailability of the SaaS Service due to the correction of Blocking or Major software/platform issues according to the terms and conditions set out in the Annex "Maintenance / Assistance / Support" is taken into account in the calculation of the rate of availability agreed by the parties in the Special Terms and Conditions. By express Agreement, the availability rate of the SaaS Service does not take into account (i) any interruptions in the operation of the Internet for which CONTEXEO cannot in any way be held responsible, (ii) any scheduled maintenance operations of the Software or Platform of which CUSTOMER is informed by CONTEXEO with at least seven (7) days' notice, (iii) any operations related to the software upgrades scheduled by CONTEXEO.
8.4 CONTEXEO reminds the CUSTOMER (i) that providing a link between the Platform and the CUSTOMER's information system is not included in the services provided by CONTEXEO under the SaaS Service and (ii) that it is the CUSTOMER's responsibility to have a connection to an electronic communication network which effectively enables to receive and transmit Data from the Platform.
8.5 CONTEXEO REMINDS THE CUSTOMER THAT THE INTERNET, WHICH HAS ALLOWED CONTEXEO TO PROVIDE THE SAAS SERVICE, IS AN OPEN AND INFORMAL NETWORK, COMPOSED OF THE INTERCONNECTION, AT AN INTERNATIONAL SCALE, OF INDEPENDENT COMPUTER NETWORKS USING THE TCP/IP PROTOCOL. CONSEQUENTLY, CONTEXEO MAY NOT GUARANTEE (i) ANY AVAILABILITY OF THE SAAS SERVICE WHICH TAKES ACCOUNT OF THE OPERATION OF THE INTERNET, (ii) OR THAT THE USE OF THE SAAS SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED.
9 Penalty for non-compliance with SaaS SERVICE availability rate
9.1 CONTEXEO's failure to comply with the availability rate set out in the Specific Conditions entails CONTEXEO's obligation to compensate the loss suffered by the CUSTOMER and to pay damages (art. 1231-5 Civil Code) in the form of a penalty.
9.2 The penalty is calculated according to the formula P = M x R in which:
P = penalty amount;
M = consecutive minutes of SaaS Service unavailability;
R = Amount of SaaS License fee over twelve (12) months in minutes (1 month is deemed to include 30 days and 1 year 360 days) multiplied by two (2).
9.3 The penalty is due only after the CUSTOMER has given CONTEXEO a formal notice, and subject to the CUSTOMER's proof of SaaS service unavailability during the alleged duration.
9.4 CONTEXEO commits to pay the amount of the penalty within thirty (30) days after receipt of the CUSTOMER's invoice, without the CUSTOMER being able to deduce the amounts owed to CONTEXEO for the SaaS License fee from the amount of the penalty. The penalty is not subject to VAT (BOI-TVA-base-10-10-30-30-20140115 n°70). In accordance with Article 1231-5 of the Civil Code, CONTEXEO's payment of the penalty is exclusive of any other claim for damages from the CUSTOMER for the same loss and does not entitle the CUSTOMER to terminate the SaaS Service (except and only in the event of the following paragraph), since the CUSTOMER's loss has been made good by the payment of damages. The payment of the penalty by CONTEXEO constitutes recognition and acceptance by the parties of (i) the incomplete performance of the SaaS Service already rendered during the period in question (art. 1223 Civil Code) and (ii) the proportional price reduction of the SaaS Service over the period in question.
9.5 In such cases, the total cumulative amount of penalties to be paid by CONTEXEO over the last twelve (12) months of the CUSTOMER's actual use of the SaaS Service after Production launch is limited to a maximum of ten (10) % of the total amount, excluding VAT, of the SaaS License fee actually paid by the CUSTOMER. In the event that the above ceiling is reached, the most diligent of the parties may give notice of termination of the Agreement effective within thirty (30) days of notification to that effect.
10 Information duty and obligation to cooperate
10.2 Each party commits to appoint an Administrator to ensure the Agreement execution operational monitoring with the other party. This representative must be endowed with the necessary experience, competence, authority and means to carry out his mission.
11 Financial Conditions
11.1.1 The amount and terms of payment of (i) the costs of the Technical Implementation and (ii) the SaaS License fee and (iii) any other amount due by the CUSTOMER for additional services are detailed in the Special Terms and Conditions and do not include taxes. The CUSTOMER is solely responsible for the payment of (i) the costs of the Technical Implementation, (ii) the SaaS License fee and (iii) any other amount due by the CUSTOMER for additional services, and for the payment of any tax related to the execution of the Agreement. As sole signatory of the Agreement, the CUSTOMER is solely responsible for the amounts due for the use of the SaaS Service, whether by their employees or employees of the companies of the corporate group, their service providers and subcontractors or their CUSTOMERs/prospects. Unless otherwise specified in the Special Terms and Conditions, CONTEXEO's invoices are generally payable within thirty (30) days of the invoice date.
11.1.2 The SaaS License fee is the compensation that the CUSTOMER agrees to pay CONTEXEO to benefit from the SaaS Service. The CUSTOMER acknowledges that the amount of the SaaS License fee fixed in the Special Terms and Conditions has not been set unilaterally by CONTEXEO without the CUSTOMER's consent (arts. 1164 and 1165[new] Civil Code). By mutual Agreement between the parties, the amount of the SaaS License fee has been determined by the balance between (i) the plurality of services included in the SaaS Service, (ii) the essential and explicit qualities of the SaaS Service (art. 1133 Civil Code), (iii) the conformity of the SaaS Service quality with the legitimate expectations of the CUSTOMER and CONTEXEO (art. 1166 Civil Code).
11.1.3 CONTEXEO offers various options to the CUSTOMER, including free and paid plans, with or without a fixed commitment period. CUSTOMER can find these options and the relevant pricing on the MAPWIZE website. The pricing of these plans is available in Euros and US Dollars depending on the CUSTOMER location.

11.1.5 Free plans are available to any professional CUSTOMER and are subject to use restrictions (number of places, number of venues, etc.).
11.1.6 Paid plans without any fixed-term commitment are available to any professional CUSTOMER and have a lower use restriction limits than the free subscriptions. For these plans, CUSTOMER subscription shall be due and payable each month in advance from the date of subscription.
11.2 Automatic indexation
11.2.1 Prices, including the SaaS License fee, are flat during the Initial Term set out in the Special Terms and Conditions only.
11.2.2 In accordance with Articles L. 112-1 and L. 112-2 of the Monetary and Financial Code, if the Agreement is renewed (art. 1214 Civil Code) or tacitly renewed or at the end of the Initial Term (art. 1215 Civil Code) with identical content and for an indefinite period of time, the amount of the SaaS License fee is automatically indexed each year on the anniversary date of the Initial Term set out in the Special Terms & Conditions, according to the indexation formula set out in this article.
11.2.3 The indexing formula is P1 = P0 x (S1 / S0) in which:
P1 = revised price;
P0 = original Agreement License fee amount price or last revised License fee amount by mutual Agreement;
S0 = SYNTEC index of reference on the starting date of the Initial Term set in the Special Terms and Conditions or on the last revision of the SaaS License fee by mutual Agreement;
S1 = last index published on the implementation date of the indexation.
11.2.4 By mutual Agreement of the parties, the indexation of the SaaS License fee shall not be deemed to constitute a unilateral determination of the price by CONTEXEO and therefore precludes any implementation of Articles 1164 and 1165 Civil Code).
11.2.5 When the price of all or part of the SaaS Service or an additional or specific service at CONTEXEO's expense is determined by reference to an index that does not exist or has ceased to exist or to be accessible, it shall be replaced by the index that is closest to it (art. 1167 Civil Code), by mutual Agreement between the parties or, if not, by court order.
11.3 Late payment and suspension of performance
11.3.1 The CUSTOMER's compliance with the terms of payment of the SaaS License fee constitutes an explicit essential attribute of the CUSTOMER's provision expected by CONTEXEO (art. 1133 Civil Code). Any delay in payment by the CUSTOMER of more than thirty (7) days after the agreed due date of the agreement and after reminder of CONTEXEO by email to the CUSTOMER shall be deemed to constitute a sufficiently serious nonperformance by the CUSTOMER (art. 1219 Civil Code) to entail the right for CONTEXEO to immediately suspend the SaaS Service (exception of non-performance principle), with simultaneous information of the CUSTOMER by CONTEXEO, without any other notice or formality of any kind.
11.3.2 In accordance with Article L. 441-6 of the Commercial Code, in the event of non-payment of all or part of the SaaS License fee (or any other amount due by the CUSTOMER under the Agreement) within the contractual deadlines, (i) any unpaid amount will automatically generate day-to-day default interest until the date of full payment of CONTEXEO's debt in principal, interest, fees and incidental charges, at a rate equal to FIVE (5) times the legal interest rate without necessary reminder and without prejudice to the damages that CONTEXEO reserves the right to seek in court; (ii) in accordance with section L.441-6 of the commercial code, a lump-sum compensation for recovery costs, the amount of which is fixed in Article D. 441-5 of the Commercial Code, shall be payable by operation of law for each invoice concerned. In accordance with Article L. 441-6 of the Commercial Code, the actual costs of collection, justified by invoice, of unpaid amounts by the CUSTOMER (legal costs, disbursements and attorney and bailiff’s fees) are deemed to be a consequence to CONTEXEO's claim and are entirely at the CUSTOMER's expense, until total debt clearance.
11.3.3 In the event of termination of the Agreement (i) by CONTEXEO for non-payment of the CUSTOMER or (ii) by the CUSTOMER without legitimate reason justifying early termination within the meaning of Article 13 "Termination", the total amount of SaaS License fee before tax due by the CUSTOMER to CONTEXEO over the term of the Agreement not yet executed shall be immediately payable as provisional compensation for the loss suffered by CONTEXEO, notwithstanding the right of CONTEXEO to seek compensation for the entire loss. The notification (i) by CONTEXEO of the termination of the Agreement for non-payment by the CUSTOMER or (ii) the termination of the Agreement by the CUSTOMER without legitimate cause justifying an early termination within the meaning of Article 13 "Termination" shall render certain, liquid and due the total amount of SaaS license fee, before tax, remaining to be paid over the term of the Agreement that has not yet been executed. The CUSTOMER's non-payment of the provisional compensation within sixty (60) days after the termination notice shall constitute for CONTEXEO a clear unlawful disorder.
11.4 Unpredictable Economic Circumstances
In accordance with Article 1195 of the Civil Code, CONTEXEO declares not to accept (i) the risk of fluctuation with the cost of hosting and storing the Software and/or the CUSTOMER's Data invoiced to CONTEXEO by the Platform which subcontractors these services for CONTEXEO, nor (ii) the risk of fluctuation in the increase in the services related to the encryption of the CUSTOMER's Data or to the connection of the CUSTOMER’s information system to CONTEXEO’s platform. Consequently, any increase of more than QUINZE (15) % in any of these specific services notified by CONTEXEO to the CUSTOMER is deemed to constitute an unforeseeable economic circumstance making the provision of the SaaS Service excessively expensive for CONTEXEO. In this circumstance, the parties agree to renegotiate the Agreement in good faith. Failing to reach a written Agreement by Amendment (Article 15.10 "Amendment") within thirty (30) days after the notification referred to above, either party may notify the termination of the Agreement, without compensation of any kind to either party. Prior to the Agreement on the new price or termination of the Agreement under the foregoing conditions, CONTEXEO shall be bound to execute the Agreement, on the financial terms and in accordance with the conditions agreed with the CUSTOMER.
11.5 Incomplete performance of services and price reduction
11.5.1 In the event that CONTEXEO fails to fulfil the Agreement obligations (art. 1223 Civil Code) (i) which would not be punished by penalties and (ii) for which the CUSTOMER has begun to pay the price, the CUSTOMER may, after notification to CONTEXEO, request a proportional reduction in the price of the SaaS License fee. In this case, the CUSTOMER and CONTEXEO agree to negotiate in good faith a new price which must, in order to be applicable, be the subject of an Amendment (Article 15.10 "Amendment") concluded within thirty (30) days after CUSTOMER notification. In the absence of Agreement by Amendment within this period, the Agreement will be terminated by notification at the initiative of any of the parties under the conditions of Article 13 "Termination".
11.5.2 If the CUSTOMER has not paid for the incomplete services (even for services actually invoiced but not actually received by CONTEXEO), upon receipt of the CUSTOMER's formal notice and by express derogation from Article 1223 para. 2. of the Civil Code, CONTEXEO will immediately inform the CUSTOMER of the decision to interrupt the SaaS Service, such non-payment being deemed to constitute a sufficiently serious nonperformance by the CUSTOMER (art. 1219 Civil Code).
12.1 CONTEXEO reminds the CUSTOMER that the Software and SaaS Service allow the CUSTOMER to improve the relevance or efficiency of their business, but do not constitute a service likely to impact the production of products or services of the CUSTOMER. CONTEXEO is liable for immediate, direct (art. 1231-4 Civil Code) and foreseeable damages (art. 1231-3 Civil Code) caused by a partial or total improper execution of the Agreement proven by the CUSTOMER. CONTEXEO shall not be liable in any way for indirect, unforeseeable or consequential damages caused by a partial or total improper execution of the Agreement, including the cost of using software or providing a substitute service for the Software or SaaS Service.
12.2 In any event, the total amount of CONTEXEO's financial liability is limited to the amount of the SaaS License fees paid by the CUSTOMER in the last twelve (12) months of actual use of the SaaS Service (art. 1231-3 Civil Code), except in the event of (i) bodily injury, (ii) gross negligence or fraudulent misconduct on the part of CONTEXEO (art. 1231-3 Civil Code), (iii) infringement by CONTEXEO of the intellectual property rights of a third party or (iv) non-compliance by CONTEXEO with their obligations under the criminal law of the GDPR. Each party acknowledges that if one of them uses or discloses confidential information (within the meaning of the article “Confidentiality”) of the other party without authorization, this party is liable under the conditions of common law (art. 1112-2 Civil Code). The CUSTOMER may only hold CONTEXEO liable for one (1) year from the occurrence of the breach in question.
12.3 In accordance with Article 32 of Law No. 2004-575 of June 21 st, 2004 on the Confidence in the Digital Economy, and in the event that CONTEXEO has integrated into the SaaS Service an encryption service using an original software providing a single confidentiality function that have never been previously declared to the Prime Minister, CONTEXEO commits to declare to the Prime Minister in advance this "encryption service provision". "Unless proven that CONTEXEO has not committed any intentional fault or negligence" in the provision of this specific service, CONTEXEO is liable "As part of their services, notwithstanding any contractual stipulation to the contrary, for the prejudice caused to the persons entrusting them with the management of their secret conventions in the event of a violation of the integrity, confidentiality or availability of the data transformed using these conventions". Compensation for any loss suffered by the CUSTOMER as a result of this specific liability of CONTEXEO is included in the amount set out in Article 12.2. in application of the law n°2015-912 "Information" of July 24th 2015 and in the event CONTEXEO has encrypted all or part of the CUSTOMER's Personal Data pursuant to the Agreement, CONTEXEO reminds the CUSTOMER that, under penalty of criminal sanctions,"[providers] providing cryptographic services for the purpose of ensuring a confidentiality function shall be obliged to hand over to the agents [specialized intelligence services] within 72 hours of their request, the Agreements enabling the decryption of transformed data by means of the services they have provided. Officers of [specialized intelligence services] may require the service providers [of cryptographic services] to implement these Agreements themselves within 72 hours unless [the service provider of cryptographic services] proves that it is unable to comply with such requisitions.”
12.4 CONTEXEO declares that it holds, with an insurance company known to be solvent, an insurance policy covering the consequences of their operating and professional civil liability which may be incumbent on it for the performance of the Agreement. The payment of the annual insurance premium by CONTEXEO shall take into account the amount of compensation contractually offered by CONTEXEO pursuant to this Article. In the event that the CUSTOMER wishes an additional level of compensation for their losses, CONTEXEO will propose to the CUSTOMER an amendment to their insurance policy and the CUSTOMER will pay the full amount of the premium requested by CONTEXEO's insurance company to cover the specific risk for which the CUSTOMER has requested coverage.
13.1 Termination during trial period
If a trial period of the SaaS Service is provided for in the Special Terms and Conditions, the CUSTOMER may, at any time during this period and without justification, notify CONTEXEO of the termination of the Agreement. In this case, the SaaS license fees provided for during the trial period as well as the technical implementation costs due by the CUSTOMER to CONTEXEO (i) shall be kept by CONTEXEO and (ii) shall be payable under the conditions set out in the Special Terms and Conditions if these amounts have not already been paid by the CUSTOMER on the date of termination notified by the CUSTOMER, excluding of any other compensation / reimbursement / damages of any kind whatsoever by one party to the benefit of the other.
13.2 Termination for a sufficiently serious breach or failure to comply with an explicit essential attribute
The Agreement shall terminate immediately, as of right if a party fails to remedy either (i) a sufficiently serious breach of any of their contractual obligations (art. 1224 Civil Code) or (ii) an explicit essential attribute of their performance (art. 1133 Civil Code), within thirty (30) days of the other party's notification of the obligation to terminate such breach.
Termination of the Special Terms and Conditions does not result in the termination of the other Special Terms and Conditions in progress, or those of the General Terms and Conditions, nor does it prevent the parties from entering into other Special Terms and Conditions. Upon the arrival of the Initial Term set forth in the Special Terms and Conditions or the effective date of termination of the Agreement, the CUSTOMER agrees to immediately cease using the SaaS Service and CONTEXEO shall then be entitled to interrupt the SaaS Service provided to the CUSTOMER without any further formality other than the mere acknowledgement of the termination of the Agreement.
13.4 Reversibility and restitution of CUSTOMER's data
No later than thirty (30) days after the effective date of termination of the Agreement, for any reason whatsoever, CONTEXEO commits to return to the CUSTOMER, free of charge, all of the CUSTOMER's Data processed by the SaaS Service, without keeping a copy of it of any kind and not to exercise any right of retention over such Data, for any reason whatsoever. The Data is returned free of charge to the CUSTOMER in a standard market format (.xls, csv, etc.) which does not require the use of the Software to be reused. No service other than the full restitution to the CUSTOMER of their Data will be provided by CONTEXEO for the purpose of reversibility, CONTEXEO being under no obligation to ensure any continuity of the service provided through the SaaS Service, this absence of continuity of service constitutes (i) a decisive information for the consent of CONTEXEO (art. 1112-1 Civil Code) to provide the SaaS Service to the CUSTOMER and (ii) an essential attribute of the service (art. 1133 Civil Code) provided by CONTEXEO under the Agreement.
In accordance with article 1230 of the Civil Code, provisions which by their very nature survive the termination of the Initial Term or the termination of the Agreement, whatever the cause and/or basis, survive the termination of an Agreement (including the obligation of confidentiality, non-competition, obligations arising from the GDPR, attribution of jurisdiction, etc.).

CONTEXEO will pay all damages to which the CUSTOMER would be condemned by a court decision having the power of res judicata. CONTEXEO guarantees the CUSTOMER the peaceful enjoyment of the use of the Software (including additional modules), provided that the CUSTOMER notifies CONTEXEO without delay of any threat of action or procedure in this regard, which allows the CUSTOMER to ensure their defense. The CUSTOMER shall collaborate with CONTEXEO in this defense at the expense of CONTEXEO. CONTEXEO will have complete control over civil defense, including the right to appeal, negotiate and reach a settlement within the meaning of Articles 2044 and following of the Civil Code. The CUSTOMER shall provide alone and at their own expense their criminal defense, so as to be able to overturn the presumption of bad faith set out by case law.
14.3 In the event of a civil conviction of CONTEXEO by a court decision having the power of res judicata or in the event of a transaction concluded by CONTEXEO, CONTEXEO may, at their own choice and expense, either (i) (i) obtain for the CUSTOMER the right to continue using the Software (including additional modules) without increasing the amount of the financial compensation payable by the CUSTOMER and without interrupting the use of the Software by the CUSTOMER, possibly by modifying all or part of the Software (and/or an additional module) so that it no longer constitutes infringement of the rights of a third party, or (ii) if the right to continue using the Software (and/or any additional module) cannot be obtained or if the Software (and/or an additional module) cannot be replaced or modified for a reasonable cost so that it no longer constitutes infringement of the rights of a third party, the CUSTOMER shall be notified of the termination of the Agreement and the total amount of the SaaS license fees paid (from the first day of the complaint) by the CUSTOMER to CONTEXEO shall be returned.

At CONTEXEO's first request, the CUSTOMER shall send CONTEXEO a true copy of the auditor's confidentiality commitment.
15.1.2 The CUSTOMER shall inform CONTEXEO in advance, within a reasonable time, of any audit request, the date of the audit and the name and references of the persons in charge of the audit. CONTEXEO will not be able to refuse without legitimate reason the persons designated to carry out the audit.
15.1.3 CONTEXEO will cooperate in good faith with the auditor and will provide the auditor with all documents or necessary information relevant for the audit and will allow the auditor access to the appropriate parts of the Software and/or the CUSTOMER's Data.

15.2.4 For the protection of each other's confidential information, each Party commits to take the minimum protection measures that it would take to protect their own confidential information, and commits (i) to ensure that their employees and those of their service providers, subcontractors and potential agents having access to the confidential information have signed, prior to any disclosure for their benefit, a confidentiality Agreement whose obligations are equivalent to those contained in this Article and (ii) to justify this in writing and without delay at the first request of the other party.
15.3.1 None of the parties may be held liable for the non-performance of one of their contractual obligations due to the occurrence of a case of force majeure which is understood as an event (i) beyond the control of the party who suffers from it (ii) which could not be reasonably foreseen at the time of conclusion of the Agreement and (iii) the effects of which cannot be avoided by appropriate measures (art. 1218 Civil Code).
15.3.2 During the period of the force majeure event, if the impediment is temporary (less than thirty (30) days), the event of force majeure suspends, for the party impacted, the performance of their obligations, unless the delay which would result from it justifies the cancellation of the Agreement (except for the obligation to pay the contractual amounts due on the date of the event of force majeure). If the impediment is definitive or of more than thirty (30) days, the Agreement shall be terminated and the parties released from their obligations, subject to notification of such termination by the most diligent of both parties.

15.4 Use of the CUSTOMER's name for reference purposes
After the trial period, if provided for in the Special Terms and Conditions, the CUSTOMER expressly authorizes CONTEXEO to use the CUSTOMER's name / logo / trademarks, in strict compliance with the CUSTOMER's graphic charter, solely for commercial reference purposes (list of CONTEXEO's customer references and public advertisements on CONTEXEO's professional social networks), to the exclusion of any other use that requires prior CUSTOMER authorization.

15.7 Autonomy of stipulations
The Agreement cancels and replaces all previous verbal or written Agreements between the parties concerning the same services. In the event that any provision of the General Terms and Conditions or the Special Terms and Conditions is found to be invalid or unwritten by a court decision which has the force of res judicata, the parties agree to try to limit, as much as possible, the scope of this invalidity so that the other contractual provisions remain in force and the economic balance of the Agreement is respected. In this case, the parties commit to renegotiate in good faith (art. 1104 Civil Code) the creation of a new clause replacing the clause thus declared null and void or not in writing, unless the cause of nullity affecting a clause constitutes a determining element of the commitment of one of the parties, in which case this nullity shall invalidate the Agreement as a whole (art. 1184 Civil Code).
15.8 Agreement cession

The ceding CUSTOMER shall remain jointly liable with the assignee towards CONTEXEO for the strict observance of the Agreement (art. 1216-1 Civil Code).
15.8.2 As a derogation to the preceding paragraph, the CUSTOMER may freely assign the Agreement to a legal entity controlled by the CUSTOMER or which controls the CUSTOMER (within the meaning of Article L. 233-3 of the Commercial Code) subject to written notification to CONTEXEO. This notification shall constitute CONTEXEO's Agreement to the cession and the cession shall take effect on the date of first submission of the notification.

15.10 Amendment

15.11 Originals of the Agreement and Exchange of Consent of the Parties
The Agreement was drawn up in two (2) original copies (Article 1375 Civil Code), one (1) for each party.

The Agreement is subject to French law, both in terms of form and substance. ANY DISPUTE CONCERNING THE INTERPRETATION, REALIZATION OR TERMINATION OF THE AGREEMENT should, in accordance with Article 48 of the Civil Procedure code and only in the event that the CUSTOMER is a commercial company, exclusively BE SETTLED BEFORE THE TRIBUNAL OF COMMERCE OF THE HEAD OFFICE, even for urgent proceedings, except in the case of material of territorial competence that cannot be contractually changed.

As from the hour of reproduction of the Major or Blocking issue by CONTEXEO, the SaaS Service is deemed unavailable and the duration of this unavailability is taken into account in the annual availability rate of the SaaS Service fixed in the Special Terms and Conditions and sanctioned by penalties, the calculation of which is given in article 9 "Penalty for non-compliance with the availability rate of the SaaS Service".
18.2.3 By express Agreement between the parties, the right of use of the Software granted by CONTEXEO to the CUSTOMER under the SaaS Service constitutes a copy of the Software within the meaning of Articles 1709 and following of the Civil Code. As such, CONTEXEO cannot guarantee that the Software will function without any error. The parties acknowledge that the technical state of the software does not allow CONTEXEO to guarantee that CONTEXEO will be able to correct all possible anomalies, errors, Bugs or latent defects likely to affect the Software. In accordance with art. 1133, para. 3 of the Civil Code, by signing the Agreement, the CUSTOMER expressly acknowledges that they accept this hazard, related to the development and operation of software, and therefore renounces to any error relating to the quality of the Software or the SaaS Service.
