In the case where the CUSTOMER accesses a test offer of a service, DIGITALEO reserves, if necessary, the right to block all the CUSTOMER’s access identifiers and to delete the CUSTOMER’s access to the service as well as all the data attached to it (creation of email, website…) and this, in the case of use not conforming to the object of the service by the CUSTOMER or of fraudulent use by the latter.
5. Recommendations
To deliver the Service in the best conditions, DIGITALEO recommends that campaigns involving large volumes of Consumption be carried out in accordance with the following procedures:
- Sending messages at the beginning of the day, if possible before midday, to anticipate the necessary duration of the sending on the chosen day and thus avoid any delay in the execution of the Service;
- Distribution of messages over time. If the CUSTOMER does not comply with this recommendation, DIGITALEO reserves the right to apply this distribution of shipments, particularly during periods of heavy traffic.
The thresholds of these volumes of Consumption are specified in the FAQ relating to the use of the Service concerned and included in the Documentation present on the Service Platform.
For the proper functioning of the online Service, DIGITALEO recommends following its recommendations specified in the FAQ relating to the use of the Service concerned, in particular concerning the recommended browsers.

The calculation of the storage volume for the CUSTOMER takes into account the following resources: images, voice files, contact details of sales outlet networks, PDF files to be stored (non-exhaustive list subject to change).
If this storage space is exceeded, DIGITALEO will inform the CUSTOMER. If the CUSTOMER fails to respond and delete certain content within 7 days, DIGITALEO reserves the right to delete certain content to guarantee the proper functioning of its Services without any prejudice being able to be claimed by the CUSTOMER from DIGITALEO. The initial storage volume can be extended by derogation in the Special Conditions.

The different services are available from the sales department. The duration of these services is defined in the Particular Conditions which begin to run from the validation of the latter by DIGITALEO.

The rates for certain functionalities of the tool are detailed only in the DIGITALEO platform and not in the Special Conditions (rental of data for example…). In this case, the rates will be displayed unambiguously on the platform and the CUSTOMER will be asked to validate twice to indicate the additional billing for this type of service.

Invoices for Subscriptions to the Service are payable net within 15 (fifteen) days from the date of the invoice. Invoices for Services are payable net upon receipt.

At the time of the conclusion of the contract, the CUSTOMER provides DIGITALEO with a duly signed SEPA direct debit mandate (to which DIGITALEO will attribute a Unique Mandate Reference, hereafter “UMR”) as well as a bank identity statement including its BIC and IBAN identifiers.
The CUSTOMER undertakes to fund his account to allow the execution of the direct debit on the fixed date. The parties expressly agree that the prior notification of each direct debit will be made by DIGITALEO by any means at its convenience within a minimum period of 5 (five) working days before the date of the direct debit. The CUSTOMER undertakes to communicate to DIGITALEO in writing, without delay, and in any case within 3 (three) days from the receipt of an invoice from DIGITALEO, any modification on the bank account debited (in particular in the case of a change in the name of the account or the bank establishment). Any request for revocation or modification of the perimeter of the SEPA direct debit mandate must be made to DIGITALEO by the CUSTOMER through a registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt which specifies, in particular, the UMR concerned as well as the name of the Contract(s) affected. If the CUSTOMER revokes his direct debit mandate without providing a new one that allows DIGITALEO to proceed with the direct debits, DIGITALEO reserves the right to terminate the Contract and/or to request cash payment by bank cheque.
Failure to pay on the due date will automatically and without prior notice lead to the invoicing of late interest equal to three times the legal interest rate. According to Article L. 441-6 of the French Commercial Code, a fixed indemnity of 40 Euros for collection costs shall be systematically added to the late payment penalties due. Any rejection of payment of an invoice issued by DIGITALEO within the framework of the Contract will lead to a fixed charge of 25 Euros excluding VAT, as well as the temporary suspension of access to the Service subscribed to until the payment(s) is (are) regularised.
The prices of the Service may be subject to annual revision. Such revision will be mentioned on the special conditions. The CLIENT will be informed of this price revision by email one calendar month at the latest before it comes into force. The CLIENT will then be free to terminate the Contract under the conditions set out in Article 17 paragraph 1 of these General Terms of Service.
For the evolution and maintenance of the Platform and/or the Services (significant evolution of the proposed functionalities, change of the economic model, emergence of a new product, change of suppliers/subcontractors, etc.), the Customer will be informed of the price revision by email one calendar month before it comes into force.
In the case of specific tariff conditions granted to the CUSTOMER due to its membership of a group, expressly referred to in the Special Terms and Conditions, the loss of membership of this group automatically entails the modification of the said tariff conditions. The new pricing conditions will be renegotiated between the parties.
