5.5. NOTIFICATIONS

The Customer agrees to receive such notifications by all of the above means.

PRICING CONDITIONS

6.1. FINANCIAL CONDITIONS

In order to benefit from the Solution, the Customer must subscribe to a Subscription indicating the number of Licenses he/she is subscribing to (which can be activated for 12 months from the date of subscription). The minimum number of Licenses to be subscribed to at the time of the Order is five (5). The Customer may order as many additional Licenses as he/she wishes during the term of the Subscription. Regardless of their subscription date, additional Licenses will expire at the end of the Subscription (including their renewal period).

Accordingly, in consideration of the subscription to the Subscription, the Customer agrees to pay the Supplier the amount agreed upon for the period, based on the number of active Users and the pricing per License provided for in the Order at the time of the initial subscription to the Subscription. In order to avoid any misunderstanding, if the Supplier is a distributor or integrator of Signitic, the rate applicable to the Solution shall be the rate charged by the distributor or integrator in question.

The Supplier may reserve the right to make commercial offers adjusted to the Customer's needs, promotional offers or price reductions.

If the Supplier decides to increase the price of the Subscription, Customers with an active Subscription will benefit from a grandfathering clause and the pricing conditions applicable to them will not be modified, as long as their Subscription remains active.

Payment is made by credit card if the Order is placed via the website order form.

Payment by bank transfer shall be possible if and only if the Order is placed via a paper purchase order duly signed by the Customer and expressly agreed to by the Supplier in writing, in which case the transfer must be made within thirty (30) days of receipt of the invoice. The Customer undertakes to provide accurate billing information and to keep it up to date.

6.2. TERMS OF PAYMENT

Payment of the Subscription is due at the time of order or renewal of the Subscription for Customers paying by credit card, or within 30 days of receipt of the invoice by the accounting department for Customers paying by bank transfer.

Any period started by the Customer is due in full to the Supplier.

6.3. AUTOMATIC RENEWAL

Each Subscription shall be automatically renewed at the end of its term for a period of the same duration when the Subscription expires or when Customer no longer has any licenses prior to the anniversary date of the agreement, unless a Party notifies the other Party in writing of its desire not to renew the Subscription at least sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of the current term.

If the Customer pays by credit card, the payment is made automatically at the beginning of the new term. If the Customer pays by bank transfer on receipt of the invoice, an invoice covering the period will be generated and sent at the end of the period.

The rate applied at the time of renewal will not depend on the number of Licenses actually used during the period preceding the renewal and the amount of the Subscription for the renewal period will therefore be at least equivalent to that for the previous period. In the event that the Customer has subscribed to a greater number of licenses during the period preceding the renewal than those subscribed to during the Subscription, the price applied at the time of renewal will be calculated according to the greater number of licenses used between the annual average of the Licenses used and the average of the Licenses Used during the last 3 months. For example, if the Subscription started on January 1st, and if 10 licenses are used each month by the Customer until October and in November he uses 20 and then in December 30, then the renewal rate will be calculated as follows:

  • annual average (AA): 150/12 = 12.5
  • average of the last 3 months (M3M): 60/3 = 20

M3M > MA therefore the number of licenses retained for the annual Subscription fee of the renewal year will be calculated on the basis of a number of Licenses equivalent to 240 Licenses (20X12).

6.4. FREE TEST

The Provider may, at its sole discretion, offer the Customer a Free Trial, allowing the Customer to test the Solution free of charge ("Free Trial"). At the end of the Free Trial, the Subscription is automatically activated if the Customer registers a means of payment. It is therefore necessary to terminate the Subscription at the end of the Free Trial if the Customer is not satisfied. If no payment method is entered, the Solution will be automatically deactivated. The period of time between the subscription of the Free Trial and the deactivation of the account, if no paid Subscription is subscribed, remains at the sole discretion of the Supplier.

6.5. FAILURE TO PAY

In the event of non-payment by the due date, the Customer shall immediately owe late payment penalties equivalent to three (3) times the legal interest rate as well as a fixed penalty of forty (40) euros. This fixed penalty shall apply automatically without any prior request from the Supplier to the Customer.

The Customer is responsible for all collection costs, including attorney's fees incurred or any other legal experts in connection with the collection of the debt.

The Supplier may also, by sending a simple e-mail notification to the Customer, suspend the Subscription or terminate it automatically in the event of non-payment within a reasonable period of time, which may not be less than 15 days from the notification, allowing the Customer to remedy the non-payment.

6.6. CONTESTATION OF PAYMENT OR INVOICING ERRORS

The Customer is obliged to inform the Supplier of any problem or error concerning payment or invoicing within ninety (90) days of its first appearance on his bank statement or from the date of receipt of the invoice.

The Customer waives its right to dispute such problems or errors if it does not bring them to the attention of the Supplier within this period.

DURATION

The Solution is subscribed for the duration of the Subscription.
