   • implement all appropriate processes and measures designed to protect their User Workstations, their hardware, software packages, software, passwords, particularly from any viruses and intrusions;
   • comply with the latest updated version of the Technical Prerequisites to avoid harmful consequences such as slowing down, blocking, data corruption;

3. GuaranteesThe Service Provider guarantees that each Service conforms with their Documentation. The Service Provider does not guarantee that the Service is free from any faults or unforeseen problems but undertakes to take all reasonable steps to remedy any malfunctions in the Service identified in relation to their Documentation. This guarantee of conformity cannot be extended to a guarantee of conformity with the specific needs or the specific activity of a Client or a User. The Service Provider does not guarantee the ability of the Service to achieve the objectives or results that the Client may have set and/or perform specific tasks which may have been the reason for their decision to enter into this Contract. To the extent permitted by law, any warranty other than those expressed in this article are expressly excluded.
4. The Service Provider may develop, amend or organise the Service without the prior written agreement of the Client, provided that this does not diminish the commitments of the Service Provider under this Contract.

10. Client data

1. OwnershipThe Client is and remains the owner of all the input Data regardless of their nature, that they use via the Service in the context of the Contract.
2. Using the dataThe Client assumes editorial responsibility when using the Service. The Client is solely responsible for the quality, the legality, the relevance of the Data and content that it transmits when using the Services. They also ensure that they hold the intellectual property rights allowing them to use the Data and content. Accordingly, the Service Provider will not be liable if the Data and/or content does not comply with laws and regulations, public order or the Client’s needs. The Client guarantees the Service Provider on request against any harm that might result from a third party claim for a breach of this warranty. More generally, the Client is solely responsible for the content and messages disseminated and/or downloaded via the Service.
3. Use of Client Data for a metadatabaseThe Service Provider can compile the anonymised Client Data to build a metadatabase fed by several projects from different Clients created using the Service Provider’s Service. The Data is combined making it impossible to identify the Client, their projects, their designs, or any other information enabling the latter to be identified. The compiled Data will not under any circumstances include any of the Client and its Users’ confidential or personal data. The aim of the metadatabase is to propose new services for the Service Provider’s clients and in particular to automatically assist clients in the design, construction, operation and maintenance of a building or infrastructure using the data analysis for other buildings. The anonymised Client Data can be used by the Service Provider’s R&D department to fix and improve the Service Provider’s services and to propose new services to the Service Provider’s Clients. The Service Provider therefore has a right of use for Output Data. In addition, this Output Data may be transmitted to third parties for the purposes of:
   • compliance with legal or regulatory obligations,
   • carrying out technical studies.
   The Client can expressly oppose the use of their Data for such purposes when the Contract is signed. In this last case, only the Data not yet used by the Service Provider at the date when the Client opposes will be excluded from processing by the Service Provider.
4. Use of Client Data for statistical purposesThe Service Provider may use the Client Data to carry out the operations necessary to prepare their invoices and usage statistics as well as providing any explanation regarding the performance of the Service. Similarly, the Service Provider may compile aggregated and anonymised statistical information and may make it public provided that it does not constitute Personal Data.

Prohibition against the transfer of confidential, nominal or identifiable Client DataIn any event, the Service Provider is prohibited from assigning or transferring to a third party, in whole or in part, for a consideration or free of charge, the Client Data which may have been sent to them by the Client when performing the Service and which is confidential, nominal, or enables the Client, a specific project, a design or a User to be identified.

11. Personal data protection

In the context of their contractual relationship, the Parties undertake to comply with the regulations in force applicable to the processing of Personal Data and, in particular, Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 as well as the Data Protection Act of 6 January 1978 (hereinafter, the “Applicable law”). The Parties agree that the Client is “responsible for processing” within the meaning of the Applicable law and that the Service Provider is the “sub-contractor”, within the meaning of the Applicable law. All the rights and obligations in relation to Personal Data incumbent on both the Client and the Service Provider are described in Annex 3.

12. Security

5. Client data hosting and backupClient Data is hosted on servers based in France. They are subject to a daily and weekly backup. Each daily backup is kept for a period of one month and each weekly backup for a duration of one year.

13. Service quality

The Client is notified of unforeseen technical problems inherent in the Internet and any resulting interruptions to access. Consequently, the Service Provider will not be held responsible for the Service not being available or slowing down, which the client expressly recognises. The Service Provider nevertheless undertakes to do its utmost to achieve an availability rate of 99% (“Guaranteed availability rate”). It is the Client’s responsibility to respect any data storage thresholds indicated by the Service Provider in its documentation and to notify the Service Provider if they require more processing capacity. The Service Provider undertakes to put in place effective controls to provide reasonable assurance that the Client can access and use the applications concerned at any time within the limits of the Guaranteed availability rate.

  • In the event of a semi-blocking error, the notification will be dealt with within 72 working hours. The Service Provider will make every effort to correct the error and propose a workaround that will enable the features in question to be used in 24 working days.
  • In the event of a minor error, the notification will be dealt with as soon as possible and the Service Provider will propose to correct the minor error in a new version of the Service which will be delivered in the context of adaptive maintenance.

19. Financial terms and conditions

In exchange for the provision of Services, the Client undertakes to pay the fee indicated on the purchase order in accordance with the conditions specified in the commercial offer. Any failure to pay the fee specified on the purchase order and in accordance with the conditions specified therein will result, after notification, in access to the Services being suspended until the situation is resolved.
