Capitalized terms in the Contract are defined in Article 17, whether singular or plural. When a capitalized term is not defined in this article, the definition is that specified in the Contract.
These General Terms of Service (”CGS”) are intended to set out the terms and conditions for the provision of the Services, as well as to define the responsibilities and obligations of Signitic and the Customer (hereinafter the “”Parties”). These CGS are accessible at any time on the Site and will prevail over any other version available on another medium. These GCS form, with the additional documents applicable below, a contract (hereinafter the”contract”) between Signitic and the Customer. This Contract consists only of the following documents, in descending order of priority:
In case of contradiction, the higher-ranking document takes precedence. Any other document or information from Signitic (in particular advertising brochures, communication materials) is for informational and non-contractual purposes only. Any condition set by the Customer, in particular general terms and conditions of purchase, will be, in the absence of express acceptance by Signitic, unenforceable. The Agreement contains all terms between the Parties and supersedes all existing prior arrangements, conditions, NDAs, and agreements relating to the subject matter of this Agreement.
Any use of the Services, including free of charge, implies, on the part of the Customer, the acceptance of the Contract. The Customer undertakes to transmit it and to have it respected by all Users. The documents constituting the Contract are communicated and accepted by the Customer when ordering or, failing that, are accessible to him by any other means.
Signitic reserves, as of right and at any time, the right to modify the terms of the Contract, in particular in accordance with the evolution of techniques and/or legislation. Any modification applies as of its publication on the Site and will be notified by any means to the Customer. When the modifications are unfavorable to the Customer, the Customer has, from the date of the publication of these changes on the Site, 30 calendar days to automatically terminate the Contract at no cost by sending Significtic its notification by RAR letter. Beyond that, the Customer will be deemed to have accepted the changes. However, when these changes are required by legislation, regulations, and/or administration, the Customer cannot claim termination. The amended terms apply to Services previously subscribed by the Customer and still in progress, in order to ensure a homogeneous contractual package for all Services.

Signitic can also offer ancillary services such as the provision of an electronic business card service.
3.2. Subscription and duration. Access to the Software is subject to the subscription of a Subscription, composed of a certain number of Licenses. The Subscription begins on the validation date for a maximum period of 1 (one) year and is automatically renewed at its Expiry date for successive periods of a maximum duration of 1 (one) year, unless terminated by one or other of the Parties under the conditions of article 6.
The Subscription may expire (hereinafter the”Deadline”) in one of the two cases:
3.3. Delivery. The elements making up the Subscription, in particular the Licences and any options, are delivered on the day of receipt of full payment of the price by the Customer, unless otherwise agreed in writing between the Parties when ordering.
For any ancillary services, the delivery time will be agreed between the Parties. Any deliverable will only be sent definitively to the Customer, on the day that Significtic receives full payment of the price, unless otherwise agreed in writing between the Parties when ordering.
3.4. Support. In case of need, support is available by chat or email (hello@signitic.com) during the opening days and hours of the company Signitic (from Monday to Friday, from Monday to Friday, from 9 am to 12 pm and from 2 pm to 5 pm, Paris time, excluding French public holidays), to advise and support Users if any technical difficulties arise in the context of the Services.

3.5. Modification. Signitic reserves the right to modify its Services and to offer new ones, in particular in accordance with the evolution of techniques and/or legislation. Any changes made will be brought to the attention of the Customer by any means. When changes are likely to substantially degrade the Services in use, the Customer has, as of the entry into force of the changes, 30 calendar days to cancel the Services concerned free of charge by sending its notification by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt. After the deadline, the Customer will be deemed to have accepted the changes. However, when these changes are required by legislation, regulations, and/or administration, the Customer cannot claim termination.
When Signitic makes software, functionalities, or any other component available in Beta version, the following provisions apply:
Signitic may, in all discretion, offer any voluntary Customer the opportunity to test elements in Beta versions free of charge, in order to identify any possible malfunction.
As such, the Customer undertakes: (i) to use only the elements in Beta versions for testing and improvement purposes; (ii) not to let anyone other than its Users use them; (iii) to not disclose any information relating to the Beta versions. This information is confidential and, as such, constitutes commercial secrets; (iv) to share, without the intention of harming, Significtic with its reactions and suggestions following its use. All comments, ideas and more generally any feedback from the Customer, including Users, in the context of the Beta versions will be the exclusive property of Signitic; (v) not to publish or make accessible by any means its comments to the public without the prior authorization of Signitic; (vi) to keep any complete backup of its system and data before using the Beta versions.
The access terms and characteristics of the Beta versions are freely defined by Signitic, which may change them at any time. Signitic may or may not temporarily limit, suspend or interrupt access and maintenance of Beta versions at any time and will inform the Customer by any means.
The Customer accepts that the Beta versions may include known or unknown bugs and that the data synchronized by the Customer may be deleted or reset at any time and that, depending on the case, the Beta versions may damage the Customer's equipment. The Customer alone will bear the consequences and risks of any kind whatsoever, of the use of Beta versions by its Users.
Taking into account the warnings, by accessing the Beta versions, the Customer (and any User) acts with full knowledge of the facts, the only obligation of Signitic being to inform the Customer about the risks associated with the use of the Beta version.
5.1. Order. The Customer can place an order from the online store or from an order form issued by Signitic. The Customer acknowledges having taken note of the characteristics, constraints, especially technical constraints, and functional limitations of the Service and its specificities. He acknowledges having verified the adequacy of the Services to his needs and having received from Signitic all the information and advice he needed to subscribe, in full knowledge of the facts.
After online validation of the order by the Customer or receipt of written acceptance of the order, a message confirming and validating the order is sent to the Customer's email address. However, to prevent risks of fraud, a delay may occur. Signitic does not store credit card numbers or IBAN numbers directly. Signitic and its partner can carry out a number of checks that may require investigating the origin and content of a transaction.
Signitic may ask the Customer for additional information. The latter is obliged to provide answers as soon as possible. Signitic also reserves the right to refuse an order from a Customer who has not fully or partially paid for a previous order or with whom a payment dispute is in progress.
Orders are deemed firm upon receipt by Signitic of the Customer's order, provided that Signitic confirms it by validating the order. Orders are no longer subject to modification or cancellation after this date, unless otherwise agreed in writing between the Parties. Only when the Customer meets the conditions of the Consumer Code, the Customer has a withdrawal period of 15 clear days from the confirmation by Signitic that his order has been taken into account. However, as soon as the Customer uses the Service (s) ordered before the end of the 15-day period or in the case of an order for a domain name, the Customer loses the possibility of exercising his right of withdrawal in accordance with the Consumer Code.
5.2. Price. The applicable price is the one in force on the day of billing. Upon renewal, the price may be subject to an automatic change according to the use of the Licences during the last period. Unless otherwise agreed between the Parties, the price applied, which may not be lower than that of the previous period, will be established according to the largest number of licenses used between: (i) the annual average of the Licences used during the previous Subscription Period and (ii) the average of the Licenses used during the previous Subscription Period and (ii) the average of the Licenses used during the previous Subscription Period and (ii) the average of the Licenses used during the previous Subscription Period.
Example 1: If the Subscription started on January 1 with an annual commitment of 150 Licenses. The Customer uses 100 licenses every month until October, for a total of 1000 Licenses over 10 months. In November, the Customer increases the number of licenses used and uses 200 and then in December 300, then the renewal rate will be calculated as follows:
Since the Average of the last 3 months is greater than the Annual Average, the number of licenses used to determine the annual price applicable to the renewal of the Subscription is based on the Average number of Licenses over the last three months, i.e. a price for 200 Licenses.
Example 2: If the Subscription started on January 1, with an annual commitment of 120 annual licenses, and an average use of 112 licenses each month by the Customer until December, i.e. 1344 Licenses in total over the duration of the Subscription, then the renewal rate will be calculated as follows:
As the Commitment is greater than the Annual Average, the number of licenses selected to determine the annual price applicable to the renewal of the Subscription is based on the number of the Commitment, i.e. a price for 120 Licenses.
Since the price is indicated excluding VAT, the applicable VAT should be added. The Services are payable upon order, except where otherwise stated when ordering.
Payment is made directly online on the Site by providing the credit card number (secure SSL mode), or any other method of payment possible on the day of the order. The Customer undertakes to pay all amounts invoiced for his orders and guarantees to Signitic that he has the necessary rights or authorizations to use the payment method in question. Late payment of more than 4 calendar days may result in a suspension of access to the Services.
By providing his banking information, the Customer authorizes Signitic to debit his card or bank account for the amount relating to the Services. At each Due Date, the amount due for the Services will be withdrawn automatically using the last known bank details, which the Customer expressly accepts. The Customer undertakes to ensure that his bank details remain valid to allow payment on time. In the event of refusal of authorization of payment by credit card or debit by accredited organizations or in the event of non-payment, Signitic reserves the right to suspend or cancel the order. In accordance with the monetary and financial code, the commitment to pay given by card is irrevocable.
5.3 Billing. Invoices are available and can be downloaded from the Account. Any dispute concerning an invoice must be expressed by RAR letter or email sent within fifteen (15) days from the date of the invoice (or pro forma invoice). In the absence of dispute, under the conditions referred to above, the Customer will be deemed to have accepted the invoice. In the event of delay or total or partial failure to pay by the Customer, a fixed compensation for recovery costs of a fixed amount of 40 euros per invoice will automatically be applicable as well as the automatic application of late payment penalties whose interest rate is equal to three (3) times the legal interest rate, payable the day following the due date of the invoice. If collection costs of a higher amount should have been incurred by Signitic, Signitic reserves the right to charge them to the Customer; the amount due will then be determined by the supporting documents provided by Signitic. No discount will be given for early payment.
5.4. Modification. Signitic reserves the right to change prices at any time. Any price change applies to all new orders. However, when price changes are increasing and are applicable to Services in use (excluding price changes as referred to in article 5.2.), the Customer will be informed in advance at least 30 calendar days before the new rates come into force, by any means, in particular by notification within the Software or email. From this information, the Customer will have a maximum of one month to cancel the Service (s) concerned free of charge, by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt. Termination without charge is understood as the option for the Customer to request a refund of amounts already paid in proportion to the days remaining for the Services thus cancelled. Beyond that, the Customer will be deemed to have accepted the changes. However, Signitic reserves the right to pass on, without notice, any new regulatory, administrative, fiscal tax or any increase in these taxes, without the possibility of cancellation for the Customer, as long as Signitic does not have control over them.
6.1. Principle. Either Party may deactivate the automatic renewal of the Subscription. For this deactivation to be taken into account at the end of the current Subscription period, the Party wishing to deactivate the renewal sends to the other Party its decision to, by registered letter, to the head office of the other Party, before the Customer has consumed more than 75% of the available Licenses, and no later than ninety (90) days from the Expiry Date, the date of first presentation of the letter being authentic.
For Customers subject to payment by bank card or direct debit, the deactivation of the automatic renewal of the Subscription is available through the Administrator Account.
When the Customer or Signitic requests the deactivation of the renewal of the Subscription within the specified period, it continues until the end of the current period and is not renewed. Therefore, at the end of the Services concerned, the Customer and its Users lose the benefit of the Services concerned, as well as, where applicable, access to the Software.
In the event of partial or total non-use of the Services, no refund will be made or accepted.
6.2. Termination for breach. Except where the Contract provides otherwise, in the event of non-compliance by a Party with its obligations not repaired within a period of 15 days from either the sending of an email addressed to the defaulting Party notifying the breaches in question, or the sending of a RAR letter, the Contract may be automatically terminated by the injured Party, without prejudice to any possible damages and any remaining amounts due that may be claimed from the defaulting Party. However, Signitic may automatically terminate the Contract, without notice or prior notice, in the event of non-compliance with legislation and regulations, as well as in the event of behavior and/or action of the Customer, which may endanger the security and/or normal functioning of the Services. Termination at the expense of the Customer results in the immediate payment of the amounts due.
6.3. Reversibility of the Services. Upon expiration or termination of the Agreement, unless otherwise agreed with the Customer, all data used and/or exploited by the Customer in connection with the Services, including its Content and personal data, is destroyed within 30 calendar days, unless the law applicable to the Contract requires its conservation or the retention of such data is necessary to defend the rights of Signitic. The Customer must, in all cases, take the precaution of backing up by himself, all of his data, including Content, which he wishes to keep before the end of his access to the Services. Significtic support is available to facilitate this backup by guiding the Customer, but does not perform any recovery or migration services for Customer data, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties and additional billing.
At the same time, the Customer must proceed by himself to uninstall, disconnect and/or remove any element necessary for the use of the Services (in particular add-ins, API, etc.).
