It is expressly stipulated that the Services consist of a comprehensive offering of services accessible in SaaS mode via the website kannelle.io and/or the Kannelle mobile application, and are strictly reserved for professionals for usage within the framework and for the needs of their business activities, to the exclusion of all other uses.

The Client guarantees adherence to the Contract by the Users.

The Client is hereby informed that the Services are, at all times, subject to changes of any kind enacted by CHECK IT OUT SAS, notably to account for changes in the technological, commercial (except for the price if the licence has already been purchased by the Client), administrative, regulatory, or legal environments, or for reasons related to the security of the systems and/or of the information of said Services.

CHECK IT OUT SAS does not guarantee the compatibility of the Services with all internet browsers and ancillary software, such as, in particular, the oldest versions of video players.

The Client hereby declares that they have acquired sufficient information on all technical specifications required to be able to use the Services before acceptance hereof.

4. Modifications – Additional services

During performance of the Contract, the Client may request any modification to the Services, but may not be permitted to reduce the scope thereof. As such, no request for modification made by the Client may result in a decrease in the price agreed upon in this Contract, even if the Client wishes to reduce the scope or no longer receive the Services initially ordered.

In the event that such modifications may involve a price increase, CHECK IT OUT SAS shall prepare, in a timely fashion, a quote indicating the feasibility, the detailed, firm, and definitive price, as well as the lead time for enacting the change and the resulting consequences for the Contract.

CHECK IT OUT SAS shall only carry out the modifications in question after the signing of an addendum to the Contract by the Parties or of any other document formalising an agreement between the Parties on the desired modifications.

In general, any modification to this Contract shall only be made effective via a written document (including in electronic format) formalising the agreement between the two Parties.

5. General modalities of performance

The Parties agree to collaborate closely and in good faith. If, in the course of the performance of the Contract, a difficulty should arise, the collaboration desired by the Parties obligates them to come together with a view to establishing an appropriate solution to resolve the difficulty as quickly as possible, prioritising the necessary continuity of the Services, as well as maximum responsiveness. The Parties hereby declare and acknowledge that they are and shall remain, for the entire duration of this Contract, independent commercial and professional partners, each assuming the risks of their own operations and acting with total independence.

via the login credentials of the User.

With the exception of maintenance periods, the User may log into the solution at any time, i.e.:

Login Credentials are intended to reserve access to the Solution solely for the Users and to protect the integrity and availability of the Solution, as well as the integrity, security, availability, and confidentiality of the data of the Client.

The Login Credentials are personal and confidential. They may only be changed by request from the Client or by the initiative of CHECK IT OUT SAS, subject to informing the Client prior to doing so.

The Client undertakes to take all necessary measures to keep secret the Login Credentials of itself and of its Users, and to not disclose them to others in any form whatsoever.

In general, the Client assumes responsibility for the security of the individual work stations used to access the Solution.

In the case of loss or theft of one of the Login Credentials, the Client shall use the procedure established and shared by CHECK IT OUT SAS for this purpose, enabling them to retrieve the Login Credentials.

All costs related to accessing the Solution, whether they be expenses for hardware, software, internet access, or any usage fees, are the exclusive responsibility of the Client.

The Client is solely responsible for the good working order of the computer and/or mobile and/or phone equipment of the Users, as well as of their internet access.

CHECK IT OUT SAS shall avail itself of all reasonable means at its disposal to ensure high-quality access to the Solution, but is held to no obligation to achieve this aim. CHECK IT OUT SAS is not able to guarantee the continuity of services executed remotely via the internet, telecommunications networks, or mobile internet, which the Customer acknowledges.

Additionally, CHECK IT OUT SAS cannot be held liable for any failure of the network or servers, or for any other event outside of its reasonable control that may impede or degrade access to the Solution.

Nevertheless, CHECK IT OUT SAS undertakes to give its best effort to provide reasonable assurance that the Client may access and use the Solution during the times established herein.

CHECK IT OUT SAS reserves the right to momentarily suspend or modify without prior notice access to all or part of the Solution in order to carry out maintenance thereof, or for any other reason. Such an interruption shall not give rise to any obligation or compensation.

The Client undertakes to actively collaborate in good faith with CHECK IT OUT SAS in order to facilitate the work of the latter, notably (i) by sharing with it, upon its request, the documents, information, tools, and authorisations necessary for the provision of the services, and, as soon as the Client becomes aware of it, all new information that may influence the provision of the Services, (ii) by informing it, as quickly as possible, of all errors or malfunctions affecting the work carried out in performance of the Contract in order to limit any consequences that may result from said errors or malfunctions, and (iii) by providing approvals, where applicable, required from the Client within the lead times allocated to them or, if a particular lead time is not stipulated, within a lead time that does not endanger compliance with the obligations incumbent upon CHECK IT OUT SAS.

The Services enable the Client to create, store, or share their content, or receive items from other users. CHECK IT OUT SAS does not claim any property rights over the content of the Client and the Client retains ownership of and remains solely responsible for said content.

When they share their content with other people, the Client explicitly acknowledges that the people with whom they shared said content may use, save, reproduce, distribute, transmit, share, display, and communicate the content, free of charge and anywhere in the world.

The Client hereby declares and guarantees that, for the duration of the Contract, they possess (and shall possess) all necessary rights for the pieces of content that they upload, store, or share on or via the Services and the Solution, and that the collection, usage, and storage of said content via the Solution and Services do not infringe any law or any right of third parties.

CHECK IT OUT SAS cannot be held liable for the content of the Client or for items uploaded, stored, or shared by others using the Solution and Services.

For the purposes of the performance of the Contract, the Client expressly grants CHECK IT OUT SAS the right to copy the content of the Client, to store and transmit the content, to modify its format, to distribute it, and to display it in the Services.

CHECK IT OUT SAS encourages Users to practise moderation and care in the usage of the content that they wish to distribute.

As such, the Client and the Users undertake to not use content that violates laws and regulations in effect.

Notably, they shall refrain from using the Solution, either directly or indirectly, for the following purposes:

to distribute information that breaches the peace or moral standards;
to distribute messages that would constitute threats in any way whatsoever, sent to one or more people, inciting the commission of an offence or a crime,
or to commit or enable the commission of any act punishable by law constituting computer piracy in any form whatsoever;
to misuse the Service for the purposes of propaganda, proselytism, commercial prospecting, or solicitation;
to publish information for sales or advertising, or constituting propaganda in favour of tobacco, alcohol, or any other regulated substance, product, or service, unless the Client and Users are legally authorised to do so;
to distribute content infringing on the right of publicity of third parties or that may be defamatory, insulting, scornful, obscene, pornographic, paedophilic, offensive, or violent, or that may incite discrimination, political, racist, xenophobic, sexist, or homophobic violence, or that may incite race-based hatred or denial of crimes against humanity;
to publish information violating laws on the protection of personal data, enabling the identification of physical persons without their consent, notably their surname, mailing and/or email address, telephone number, photograph, and audio or audiovisual recordings of them;
to violate the intellectual property rights of third parties, notably by removing or erasing any notice of a copyright or trademark, as well as any restrictive caption.

Failure to uphold these rules may result in the immediate and rightful removal of the contentious content, a warning and/or closure of the User account involved, as well as of the Client account, notwithstanding any other legal action and/or damages that CHECK IT OUT SAS may be entitled to demand or claim.

CHECK IT OUT SAS cannot, in any case, be held liable for content put online and distributed by the Client, notably due to the illegal nature of the content, errors or omissions affecting the content, or any loss or damage resulting from usage of said content by another User.

CHECK IT OUT SAS also reserves the right to cut off the access of a Client without prior notice in the event that such access would endanger the functioning or availability of computer systems, notably due to:

abnormal usage of the Service;
a denial-of-service attack via the access of the Client, i.e., a deliberate action with the intent to degrade the performance of or access to the Service;
usage of means of piracy to access data or systems of CHECK IT OUT SAS.

CHECK IT OUT SAS reserves the right to cut off access after informing the Client and in the absence of prompt corrective measures by the Client, notably in the case of problems related to infection by a computer virus.

In the event that the Client is found guilty in a court of law in relation to usage of the Services by the Client, CHECK IT OUT SAS may declare either the total termination of the Contract or partial termination for the Service whose usage resulted in incrimination.

CHECK IT OUT SAS may suspend performance of the Contract or Service implicated:

if there is an urgent need to halt the actions of the Client, notably due to infringement, a risk of infringement, or a risk of aggravation of infringement on the rights of third parties or of CHECK IT OUT SAS;
if criminal proceedings have been initiated against the Client related to usage of a Service of CHECK IT OUT SAS by the Client until a verdict is rendered.

Suspension and/or termination declared by CHECK IT OUT SAS under this Article shall rightfully take effect without a need for prior official notice and without the need for any formality other than the sending of a registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt.

Nonetheless, CHECK IT OUT SAS may, if no urgency prevents it from doing so, issue a prior official notice to the Client ordering them to cease the violation in question and it may choose to only declare the total or partial suspension or termination of the Contract if the Client does not put an end to the violation within the lead time given to them.

9. Maintenance – Support & assistance

During the duration of the Contract, whenever the Client may observe an irregularity (i.e., a malfunction or non-conformity of the Solution with regard to its intended purpose and its specific technical characteristics, and which hinders the normal functioning of the Solution or which causes inadequate processing), they may ask CHECK IT OUT SAS to provide to them services established hereinafter, notably with the purpose of re-establishing the proper functioning of the Solution.

For the purposes of support and maintenance, the Client shall have access to an email address of CHECK IT OUT SAS to ask CHECK IT OUT SAS questions related to the usage and functioning of the Solution and/or to report any irregularities.

Before making any requests to CHECK IT OUT SAS, the Client must determine the type of irregularity observed: Critical (i.e., making it impossible to use all or part of the Solution) or non-critical (i.e., having a limited influence on the usage of all or part of the Solution and not preventing continued usage thereof), along with its degree of severity.

CHECK IT OUT SAS will then analyse the irregularity reported by the Client with a view to (i) confirming the nature and severity of the irregularity, (ii) identifying the origin of the irregularity and its cause, and (iii) determining the nature of the most appropriate response to be provided by the Client in order to remedy the situation.

If the analysis conducted by CHECK IT OUT SAS should reveal that the irregularity observed by the Client may be attributable to CHECK IT OUT SAS, then CHECK IT OUT SAS undertakes to correct the irregularities so as to restore the Solution to a state of functioning in line with its specifications on the date that the irregularity appeared.

CHECK IT OUT SAS shall send its advance requests and invoices to the Client in accordance with the deadlines established in the quote.

Additionally, in accordance with the provisions of Article L.441-10 of the French Commercial Code, any late payment or non-payment on the due date shall lead to the rightful application of a legal flat-rate compensation of 40 euros for collection expenses, in addition to the late payment penalties that already apply. If the collection expenses incurred by CHECK IT OUT SAS should be greater than the amount of this legal flat-rate compensation, CHECK IT OUT SAS shall have the right to directly claim from the Client full compensation for the expenses incurred for payment of the outstanding invoices.

In addition, in the absence of payment in full by contractual deadlines of all sums owed to CHECK IT OUT SAS, CHECK IT OUT SAS shall send to the Client a registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt, or by any other means establishing with certainty a date of receipt, enjoining them to make the payment within fifteen (15) days from the date of receipt of said letter. If, after that period, the Client has not paid the total amount due on principal, interest, and fees, CHECK IT OUT SAS may interrupt access to the Solution and shall also have the right to terminate this Contract without prior notice or any legal formalities, without prejudice to the right to collect the amounts owed, along with any damages and interest.

12. Liability – Insurance

Should the liability of CHECK IT OUT SAS be claimed by the Client subsequent to a failure to uphold one of their obligations under this Contract, the remedy shall only apply to the direct, personal, foreseeable, and certain harm suffered.

If the liability of CHECK IT OUT SAS is claimed in relation to the Contract, the amount of damages allocated to the Client shall not exceed, all damages taken together, the total amount paid by the Client to CHECK IT OUT SAS under the Contract over the six (6) months preceding the occurrence of the harm suffered by the Client.

This licence is granted with the sole purpose of allowing the Users to use the Solution within the framework of their professional activities, to the exclusion of all other purposes.

The Users may only use the Solution for their professional needs, to the exclusion of all other needs, and in accordance with the intended purposes and documents of the Solution.

The Client may not, under any circumstances, make the Solution available to a third party other than the Users and shall strictly refrain from any other usage, particularly but not limited to: any adaptation, modification, translation, arrangement, distribution, or decompilation without the express, prior, written consent of CHECK IT OUT SAS.

The Client acknowledges that they are perfectly aware of the particular risks related to the specific characteristics of the internet and networks, and they accept said risks.

CHECK IT OUT SAS offers no guarantee that the uninterrupted functioning and/or continuity of the Solution may be maintained in a case of force majeure or in unforeseen circumstances, as defined by current regulations.

CHECK IT OUT SAS guarantees to the Client that the Solution does not violate intellectual property rights or any other rights belonging to third parties.

Should a court of law determine, in a definitively enforceable decision, that all or part of the Solution constitutes a violation of intellectual property rights or any other rights belonging to a third party, CHECK IT OUT SAS shall, by the choice of CHECK IT OUT SAS and to the exclusion of any other means of recourse for the Client:

either obtain, immediately and at its own expense, the right for the Client and the Users to continue using the Solution;
or substitute the offending elements for new elements agreed to by the Client and not contested by third parties;
or reimburse the Client for the price received for the elements in question.

13.3 Rights of the Client

The Client can only use the Solution in accordance with their professional needs and its intended purposes.

This right to usage includes all of the rights required by the Client for:

the operation and usage by the Client of the Solution and all of the application services attached to it;

usage, for the purposes of their professional activities, of the videos created via usage of the Solution and of all of the application services attached thereto, including once the Contract has ended for any reason whatsoever.

The rights granted to the Client in accordance with this Contract shall be extended to any update or new version that replaces and/or adds to all or part of the Solution, unless the corresponding new update or new version contains its own terms and conditions of usage. Nevertheless, it is stipulated that CHECK IT OUT SAS may, at its discretion, provide updates and new versions of the Solution, without necessarily being obligated to do so.

Subject to the provisions of Article L.122-6-1 of the French Intellectual Property Code and any stipulation contrary to this Contract, the Client shall strictly refrain from directly or indirectly carrying out certain actions, including but not limited to: any reproduction, adaptation, alteration, representation, modification, translation, arrangement, distribution, decompilation, making available to third parties, marketing, transcription, or usage for the purposes of design, creation, distribution, or marketing of similar software, as an equivalent or substitute, of all or part of the Solution without the express, prior, written consent of CHECK IT OUT SAS.

The Client is and shall remain the sole owner or duly authorised holder of all of the content, data, files, and information of any nature whatsoever that they transmit to CHECK IT OUT SAS, either directly or via the Solution within the framework of the Contract.

However, the Contract grants to CHECK IT OUT SAS, and to any third party chosen by CHECK IT OUT SAS and that CHECK IT OUT SAS may substitute for itself for the fulfilment of its obligations under the Contract, a temporary, non-exclusive right of usage for sain content, files, data, and information solely as strictly needed for the fulfilment of its obligations.

As such, CHECK IT OUT SAS acknowledges that the sharing of elements by the Client does not, under any circumstances, constitute a transfer of ownership of said elements in any way whatsoever, and that the transmitted elements can only be used for the purposes and the performance of the Contract, unless prior written authorisation is given by the Client.

Additionally, the files and documents issued by CHECK IT OUT SAS within the framework of the Contract via data transmitted by the Client shall be the exclusive property of the Client.

The Client, who is solely responsible for the quality, legality, and relevance of the content, files, data, and information transmitted by them and their Users to CHECK IT OUT SAS in any way whatsoever within the framework of the Contract, guarantees that they hold all of the necessary rights, notably intellectual property rights, allowing them to possess, user, and transmit to CHECK IT OUT SAS said content, files, data, and information for the purposes of, notably, the provision of the Services by the latter or by any third party that it may substitute for itself in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Contract.

Thus, it is the responsibility of the Client to ensure that the files and documents transmitted to CHECK IT OUT SAS do not contain information that may violate the rights of a third party, violate rules of public order, or run contrary to moral standards.

Consequently, the Client undertakes to ensure the defence of CHECK IT OUT SAS and to take responsibility for and/or compensate CHECK IT OUT SAS for any harm that may result from any action or claim by a third party relating to the possession and/or usage by CHECK IT OUT SAS of any of the content, files, data, or information given to it by the Client, in any form and in any way whatsoever, within the framework of the Contract.

Additionally, in exchange, following payment in full by the Client of sums owed to CHECK IT OUT SAS under the Contract, CHECK IT OUT SAS shall grant to the Client, personally, free of charge, and within the framework and for the sole needs of their professional activities (excluding all other purposes), all intellectual property rights attached to the videos created by the Client via the Services of CHECK IT OUT SAS within the framework of the Contract as required by the Client for the utilisation, distribution, representation, and usage of the videos thus created, with rights applying worldwide and for the entire legal duration of protection of the rights attached to the videos.

14. Protection of personal data

Each Party undertakes, as concerns them, to collect, process, store, and protect personal data in compliance with European and French regulations that apply to them with regard to protection of personal data, notably French Law No. 78-17 of 06 January 1978 on information technology, files, and freedoms, revised, and any new laws and decrees issued for its application, such as the French “Digital Republic” Law No. 2016-1321 of 07 October 2016 and Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016, known as “GDPR,” such that none of the Parties may have cause for concern on this matter.

The commitments of CHECK IT OUT SAS with regard to the protection of personal data are expressly stated in the document entitled “Personal Data Protection Policy/Management of Cookies,” available on the website kannelle.io, with this document constituting part of the Contract.

The Client hereby expressly declares that they have obtained the agreement of the Users when collecting their Personal Information with a view to transmitting said information to CHECK IT OUT SAS so that it may transmit their Personal Information to its partners (including companies belonging to the same group of companies) for the purposes of communication and/or sales prospecting, notably via electronic communications, mail, or telephone.

15. Confidentiality

Each of the Parties undertakes to keep strictly confidential all information shared with them confidentially by the other Party or of which they may become aware in the course of the performance of this Contract.

Each of the Parties shall thus refrain from disclosing the abovementioned information for the entire duration of the Contract, for any reason whatsoever, except by order from a court of law or from a governmental body, or unless the information in question enters the public domain.

Each of the Parties also undertakes to ensure that the provisions of this article are upheld by all relevant members of their staff, with each Party acting as a guarantor with regard to the other Party.

The obligation of confidentiality shall apply for the entire duration of the Contract and shall outlast the expiration or termination of the Contract for a duration of two (2) years.

16. Early termination

Should the Client and Users fail to uphold the stipulations of Articles 13 and 14, without prejudice to contrary stipulations in the Contract, the Contract may be terminated early by CHECK IT OUT SAS.

This termination shall take effect within 48 hours after the first presentation to the Client of a notification sent by CHECK IT OUT SAS by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt indicating to them its decision to invoke this clause.

This termination shall also rightfully result in revocation of the licence granted to the Client under this Contract.

This early termination shall take effect without prejudice to the right of the Party not at fault to obtain compensation for harm suffered under the conditions set forth in the Contract.

In the case of early termination of the Contract at the fault of the Client, the latter shall pay to CHECK IT OUT SAS all sums that may be due to it under the Contract if the Contract had continued until its term initially agreed upon by the Parties.

17. Force majeure

The suspension of obligations due to a case of force majeure cannot be considered a breach of contract for non-performance of said obligations and shall not result in the payment of damages or late payment penalties.

Events considered to be cases of force majeure are all events external to and outside the control of the Parties, making it impossible to uphold their obligations. Such events include, notably, epidemics, pandemics, damage caused by water, lightning, fires, flooding, earthquakes, storms, insurrections, malfunction of the electrical grid, outage of external telecommunications networks, demonstrations or social unrest, strikes, lockouts, or any situation that makes it impossible to access facilities, or any degradation, act of vandalism, or seizing control of the equipment of CHECK IT OUT SAS by a third party not authorised by CHECK IT OUT SAS.

18. Publicity

The Client expressly authorises CHECK IT OUT SAS to mention or have appear in its communications, and notably on its website, the name and brand of the Client and the nature of the services provided under the Contract.

19. Non-solicitation

The Client shall expressly refrain from soliciting with a view to hiring or being hired by, directly or indirectly, any staff member of CHECK IT OUT SAS for the entire duration of the Contract and for a period of three (3) years after the Contract ends for any reason whatsoever. The Client serves as a guarantor for the application of this prohibition by the other companies in the group to which the Client belongs. The Client acknowledges and accepts that violation of this obligation may cause considerable harm to CHECK IT OUT SAS and shall be considered a serious breach of contract by the Client, giving CHECK IT OUT SAS the right to immediately terminate the Contract. In the event of violation of this prohibition, the Client shall be responsible for immediately paying CHECK IT OUT SAS, under a penalty clause, lump-sum compensation in an amount equal to twenty-four (24) months of the last gross monthly salary of the person solicited or hired, plus all expenses incurred for the recruitment of a replacement.

20. Transfer – subcontracting

As this Contract is concluded intuitu personae, the rights and obligations arising therefrom cannot be sold or transferred to any person, in any capacity, and in any form whatsoever without the express prior written agreement from the other Party.

However, CHECK IT OUT SAS reserves the right to subcontract all or part of the Services, which the Client hereby accepts.

In that case, CHECK IT OUT SAS shall remain solely responsible for the execution of the Services by its subcontractors.

21. Miscellaneous provisions
