Prior to the subscription to the Services, the Client declares that it has read and accepted these Terms.

Unless otherwise stipulated in writing by Comeen, subscription to the Services implies the Client's full and unreserved acceptance of these Terms and the express exclusion of all other prior conditions or conditions such as any general conditions of purchase established up by the Client or any document issued by the Client.

In any case, in the event of any contradiction between these Terms and any general terms and conditions of purchase or any other general or special terms and conditions of the Client, these Terms shall prevail.

1.3 These Terms are made available to the Client by Comeen prior or upon subscription to the Services, and in particular upon provision of its quote where applicable. They can in any case be accessed on Comeen’s Website (“Comeen Site” or the “Site”) at the following URL: https://comeen.com/legal/informations, where they can be consulted directly.

1.4 Comeen reserves the right to modify its Terms at any time. In the event of modification of the Terms, the applicable Terms are those in force at the date of the subscription or of its renewal.

1.5 If any provision(s) of the Terms were to be found to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever, such provision(s) shall be deemed unwritten, and such without affecting the validity of the remaining provisions, which shall continue to apply.

1.6 Failure by Comeen to take immediate action with respect to acts or failures of the Client shall not constitute a waiver of Comeen’s remedy or right to take judicial or other appropriate measures, nor shall it constitute waiver of such action in the future.

The Client guarantees and ensures compliance by its Users of all applicable terms of use of the Solution and of the Services, as defined in the applicable GTUs and all applicable terms and agreements, such including where applicable any SaaS agreement executed between the Client and Comeen. The Client remains entirely liable towards Comeen for the use by all its Users of the Services and the Solution. It is specified that in the event of execution of a SaaS Agreement, terms of use defined in the executed SaaS Agreement shall prevail.

2.2 Subscription

Subject to terms defined in an executed SaaS Agreement between the Client and Comeen, or any other agreement concluded with the Client for another duration, and unless agreed otherwise by the Parties, the Client subscribes to a paid subscription (the “License(s)”) per yearly periods.

The Client shall receive an invitation to subscribe prior to the expiration date of the trial period.

During the trial period, the relevant GTUs remain applicable.

This confidentiality undertaking shall remain in force after the expiry or termination for any reason whatsoever of the Parties' contractual relations for a period of three (3) years.

14. Survival of obligations

The expiry or early termination of all or part of the Agreement, for any reason whatsoever, shall not affect the validity of the rights and obligations provided for in the Agreement which, by their nature or by reason of specific provisions, extend beyond the term or such termination, both for the Parties and for their successors in title, until their respective expiry dates.

15. Force majeure

Any delays in or failure of performance by either Party under this Agreement shall not be considered as a breach thereof if such delay or failure is caused by a condition of force majeure beyond the reasonable control of the Party affected.

Force majeure shall designate in particular acts of government, acts of god, war declaration by Government and national state of emergency, epidemics and pandemics, terrorism, riots or strikes, of which the effect would be prohibiting or impeding any Party from performing its respective obligations under the Agreement, and which are exterior, unforeseeable and unavoidable.

The foregoing shall not be considered a waiver of either Party's obligations under this Agreement; and as soon as such force majeure condition shall cease, the Party whose performance is affected thereby shall promptly fulfil its obligations in connection with this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, If the case of force majeure, or the delay caused by this event extends beyond a period of sixty (60) days, the Agreement and the Parties' obligations shall automatically and immediately cease by sending a registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt for this purpose, unless otherwise agreed between the Parties.
