A support service is available at support{'@'}boxpilote.fr or on 06 07 02 24 32.
VII. Evolution of Services
The Provider takes into account feedback and Client expectations. To this end, the Provider undertakes to use the means at its disposal to propose evolutions of the Services while maintaining the features and characteristics of the initial Services.
VIII. Subscription term
The Subscription start date is that shown on the initial Subscription invoice communicated to the Client.
The Subscription is concluded for a period of one (1) month (monthly Subscription) or twelve (12) months (annual Subscription) depending on the Client's choice from the date of the first invoice.
The Subscription is automatically renewed by tacit renewal according to the period initially chosen.
IX. Financial terms
The Subscription price and data migration fees are indicated in Euros excluding tax.
The price is invoiced according to the prices in force on the day of subscribing to the Subscription or its renewal, after deduction where applicable of all discounts, rebates and reductions, and cannot be modified.
Any Client whose number of Units exceeds 1,000 (one thousand) hereby accepts that the Subscription price will be increased in accordance with the pricing grid shown in the expressly accepted quote.
The price is payable in full, at the latest on the payment date shown on the invoice, with no discount for early payment, in Euros.
The Client accepts receipt of invoices electronically.
Data migration fees are invoiced once only per Client.
Payment of training and setup fees must be made by bank transfer within thirty (30) days of completion of the service.
Subscription fees must be paid annually or monthly depending on the option chosen, at the latest on the payment date indicated on the invoice.
Invoice payment is made by bank transfer or SEPA direct debit.

The Client accepts receipt of invoices electronically.
Invoice payment is made by bank transfer or direct debit upon receipt of the signature pack order.
Any amount not paid on the contractually agreed due date automatically incurs late payment penalties. Penalties are due without any reminder being necessary.
The interest rate for late payment penalties is equal to the interest rate applied by the ECB to its most recent refinancing operation plus 10 percentage points.
However, this rate cannot be less than three times the legal interest rate.
The rate applicable during the first half of the year concerned is the rate in force on 1 January of that year. For the second half of the year concerned, it is the rate in force on 1 July of that year.
Penalties based on amounts owed by the Client must be calculated on the VAT-inclusive price shown on the invoice and not on the price excluding tax.
The penalty calculation formula is: Late payment penalties = [(rate) x VAT-inclusive amount] x [number of days late / 365].
Late payment will result in immediate payment of all amounts owed by the Client to the Provider, without prejudice to any other action the Provider may be entitled to bring against the Client.
A flat-rate recovery fee of forty euros (EUR 40) is also applied.
Where recovery costs incurred exceed the amount of this flat-rate fee, the Provider may request additional compensation, on proof.
The Provider may modify the Contract price. The Client will be informed in writing at the email address provided when signing the quote, three (3) months before the new prices take effect.
Where the Client benefits from an annual Subscription in year N, the price revision takes place on the anniversary date of that same Contract in year N+1.
If the Client refuses the new prices, they must contact the Provider to reach an agreement.
Failing agreement, the Client and/or the Provider may terminate the affected Subscription without penalty, by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt, or by email at the latest thirty (30) days before the new prices take effect.
Termination will take effect either on the date the new prices apply or on the Contract anniversary date, all other Contract provisions continuing in force under the existing conditions.

The Client may terminate their Subscription at the end of the agreed period at any time and without reason by clearly notifying their intention to the address indicated in Article XXII — Notification.
Termination will take effect at the end of the current billing period.
During this period, the Parties will continue regular performance of the Contract.
Where the Client has subscribed to a monthly Subscription / annual Subscription, any month / year started is due. Amounts already paid by the Client will not be refunded in respect of the right to use the Software and Services.
At the end of the Contract, the Provider will permanently deactivate the Client's access to the Software.
Two (2) months after effective termination, the Provider will delete the Client's data.
XIII. Termination by the Provider
The Provider reserves the right to terminate the Contract at any time, without compensation, in the event of breach by the Client of one of the following provisions:

Two (2) months after the effective termination date, the Provider will delete the Client's data.
XIV. Force majeure
If, due to an event considered force majeure within the meaning of Article 1218 of the French Civil Code, either Party is unable to perform its obligations, performance of obligations will be temporarily suspended for the duration of such impossibility without either Party being able to seek liability from the other.
In any event, if such event should last more than three (3) months, this contract may be terminated at the initiative of either Party without entitlement to compensation on either side. Termination may take place after formal notice by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt, with fifteen (15) days' notice.
The following are notably considered force majeure events by way of example: any war, any strike and/or lock-out preventing performance of obligations whether or not within either Party and/or their subcontractors, riot, revolution, rebellion, military force, act of terrorism, sabotage or piracy, epidemic, any weather event causing damage resulting in prevention of performance by either Party of its obligations, any legislative or regulatory provision and more generally any act having mandatory force emanating from any competent authority preventing either Party from performing its contractual obligations, accidents, carrier or supplier strikes, fire, flood, production and energy and/or raw material supply stoppages, stock shortages, acts of third parties and any event likely to delay or prevent performance of commitments.
If, when force majeure occurs, the Provider has partially performed its obligations or can only perform them in part, it has the right to invoice the part delivered or deliverable separately and in particular fees charged by the hosting provider for an annual subscription and the Client is required to honour this invoice.

XX. Personal data collected by the Provider in its capacity as controller
The Provider, as data controller, implements personal data processing. The Client may consult the Privacy Policy for further information.

Personal data transmitted to the Provider by the Client is subject to computer processing and may be used by the Provider and its commercial partners for processing, execution, delivery, payment and management of Subscriptions.

Depending on the purposes set out above, the categories of data retained may differ slightly, being essentially linked to the nature of the mission entrusted.
In accordance with applicable regulations, any natural person, upon proof of identity, may exercise their right of access, enquiry, restriction, modification, rectification, portability and their right to erasure and/or deletion relating to all data concerning them and appearing in the Provider's databases.
Any natural person also has the right to define general directives relating to retention, erasure and communication of their personal data after their death which may be registered with a CNIL-certified trusted digital third party, and specific directives concerning personal data processing mentioned by these directives, which must be subject to specific consent registered as such with the Provider.
Any natural person has the right to object to processing of personal data, as well as the right to object to this data being used for commercial prospecting purposes.
The Client may exercise their rights as follows:
An impact assessment is carried out by the Provider when personal data processing is likely to entail a high risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons. This high risk is characterised where processing meets more than two of the nine criteria determined by the CNIL.
The Provider does not transfer data outside the European Union or the European Economic Area.
The Provider ensures security and confidentiality of personal data by implementing enhanced data protection through physical and logical security measures.
The Provider undertakes to require sufficient guarantees from its partners regarding implementation of appropriate technical and organisational measures so that data processing meets legal and regulatory requirements and guarantees protection of the Client's rights, in particular in the event of data transfer outside the European Union and the European Economic Area.
The Provider undertakes to notify any personal data breach to the CNIL and to data subjects in the event of high risk to their rights and freedoms.
The Client may lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority if one of their rights is violated.
For further information on GDPR rules and security measures implemented, the Client is invited to consult the Privacy Policy accessible at all times on the Site.
XXI. Confidentiality

Information qualified as confidential upon delivery and information bearing the mention "confidential" are confidential.
Technical, economic, strategic and commercial information is also qualified as confidential.
Where one of the Parties must, for performance of this Contract, communicate information to third parties, it may only do so to the extent strictly necessary and guarantees that third parties will undertake the same confidentiality commitment. In any event, it is liable for these third parties as for itself.
The Parties are released from the confidentiality obligation if they prove that the information has entered the public domain. The confidentiality obligation remains binding on the Parties until the term indicated in Article VIII — SUBSCRIPTION TERM despite termination of the Contract for whatever cause.
Breach of the confidentiality obligation by either Party entails termination of this Contract and compensation for damage under the applicable conditions.
