THE ToU ARE ENFORCEABLE AGAINST THE SUBSCRIBER, WHO ACKNOWLEDGES HAVING READ THEM AND HAVING EXPRESSLY ACCEPTED THEM WITHOUT RESERVATION BY TICKING THE BOX PROVIDED FOR THAT PURPOSE WHEN CREATING AN ACCOUNT.

The content of the ToU may be updated at any time. Any resulting modifications are then applicable as soon as they are published online; it is therefore recommended to check their content regularly. Browsing on CREATIVES' TOOL after the modifications come into force constitutes acceptance of the updated ToU.

If certain clauses of these ToU are or become ineffective in whole or in part, those ineffective provisions shall be cancelled (without this affecting the validity and enforceability of the remaining clauses) and reinterpreted, supplemented or replaced so as to achieve the objective sought by the ineffective provision.

CREATIVES' TOOL is a SaaS (Software as a Service) platform accessible online, intended for professionals in the visual creative industries (in particular the fields of visual arts, design, photography, video, styling, content creation, digital). CREATIVES' TOOL notably enables the creation, management and issuance of quotes and invoices, in compliance with the applicable electronic invoicing regulations for the countries where those regulations apply, namely France and Belgium.

For FR/BE Subscribers subject to the electronic invoicing regulations, CREATIVES' TOOL is interfaced, by means of an API, with the solution of the company IOPOLE, registered as a platform approved by the tax authority (DGFiP) authorised to provide all the functionalities laid down for electronic invoicing for e-invoicing and e-reporting, under number 0018. For further information about IOPOLE, NV IMAGE invites the FR/BE Subscriber to consult IOPOLE's website accessible at this address: iopole.com.

Browsing on CREATIVES' TOOL is free, provided that the User undertakes to comply with these ToU, with mandatory public-policy provisions and with public morals. However, access to the Services of CREATIVES' TOOL requires the creation of an Account and entering into a subscription with NV IMAGE, as specified in Article 5 of these ToU.

NV IMAGE implements the technical solutions at its disposal to allow access to CREATIVES' TOOL at all times. It may nevertheless at any time suspend, limit or interrupt access to it or to certain of its pages in order to carry out updates, modifications of its content or any other action deemed necessary for its proper functioning.

NV IMAGE is not liable in the event of problems or technical, IT or compatibility failures of CREATIVES' TOOL with any hardware or software whatsoever belonging to the User.

The User may create an Account if:

• The User has not already created an Account on the Site,
• The User has the legal capacity to accept these ToU,
• The User intends to comply with these ToU as well as with the GTC.

For further information, NV IMAGE recommends referring to the General Terms and Conditions of Sale ("GTC").

• Using the Services of CREATIVES' TOOL for unlawful purposes, purposes contrary to public policy or public morals, or in breach of the GTC or of the ToU,
• Creating, transmitting or storing via CREATIVES' TOOL data of a non-professional nature and more generally data of an unlawful, fraudulent, obscene or defamatory nature or infringing the rights of third parties,
• Prejudicing, in any manner whatsoever, the rights or interests of NV IMAGE or of any third party, including in particular its own clients,
• Using another Subscriber's Account or passing themselves off as another Subscriber.

7.1. Of the User

Each User assumes liability for the consequences resulting from their use of CREATIVES' TOOL.

7.2. Of NV IMAGE

NV IMAGE is bound by a best-efforts obligation and therefore undertakes to implement all the means allowing the successful provision of CREATIVES' TOOL.

However, NV IMAGE does not guarantee the accuracy, exhaustiveness, completeness and/or updating of all the content (in particular photos, videos, texts, invoicing price indicators and statistics, etc.) accessible on CREATIVES' TOOL.

Furthermore, where hyperlinks to third-party sites are present on CREATIVES' TOOL, whatever technique is used, NV IMAGE shall not be held liable as regards the functioning and availability of the content of those third-party sites.

Finally, NV IMAGE shall not be liable for:

• Acts committed by third parties over which it has no control, or facts directly attributable to the User,
• Acts/damage suffered by the User and caused by an event of force majeure or an event external to NV IMAGE,
• Acts which have caused indirect or unforeseeable damage to the User,
• Material damage or technical and IT failures linked to browsing or to the use of CREATIVES' TOOL.

All the elements accessible on CREATIVES' TOOL, namely in particular the interfaces, graphics, texts, information, videos, images, trademarks, logos, signs, domain names, databases, source code, the algorithm providing invoicing price indicators and statistics, and more generally any element, tangible or intangible, appearing on or composing CREATIVES' TOOL ("the Protected Elements") is protected by intellectual property rights and constitutes the exclusive property of NV IMAGE.

The User therefore refrains, without the prior express consent of NV IMAGE and on pain of civil and criminal penalties, from:

• Reproducing or having reproduced the Protected Elements, in whole or in part, on a temporary or permanent basis, in any manner whatsoever, on any medium, in any format, by any process, known or unknown to date,
• Representing or having represented the Protected Elements, in whole or in part, in full or by extract, in any way whatsoever, by any process, any method of distribution, any method of communication, known or unknown to date,
• Adapting or having adapted the Protected Elements, in whole or in part, on a temporary or permanent basis, and in particular translating the Protected Elements into any language, creating any derivative work, producing new versions or new developments based on the Protected Elements, maintaining, modifying, arranging, assembling, digitising all or part of the Protected Elements,
• Decompiling, disassembling CREATIVES' TOOL, creating derivative works based on CREATIVES' TOOL or attempting to discover or reconstitute the source code, the underlying ideas, the algorithms, the file formats or the programming or interoperability interfaces, except within the limit of the right granted by Article L.122-6-1 of the French Intellectual Property Code, in any manner whatsoever.

This prohibition applies without geographical limitation, for the term of protection granted by intellectual property law, and for any form of exploitation, whether free of charge or for consideration.

NV IMAGE objects to all web-harvesting and text and data mining operations within the meaning of Article L.122-5-3 of the French Intellectual Property Code. This objection covers all the content of CREATIVES' TOOL, including the Protected Elements. All web-harvesting and text and data mining operations targeting the content of the Site, including by means of automated data collection devices, therefore constitute acts of infringement, unless prior written authorisation is obtained from NV IMAGE.

Since Article R.122-28 of the French Intellectual Property Code states that the objection referred to in paragraph III of Article L.122-5-3 may be expressed by any means, including through recourse to the terms of use of a website, the absence of metadata associated with the site, with the site's directories or with its content has no bearing on the exercise of the right of objection expressed by these ToU.

As the publisher of CREATIVES' TOOL, NV IMAGE attaches particular importance to the protection of Users' privacy and personal data.

In this respect, NV IMAGE undertakes to process the said personal data in compliance with Law No. 78-17 of 6 January 1978 on information technology, data files and civil liberties as well as Regulation No. 2016-679 of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data.

For further information concerning the processing of their personal data, Users are invited to consult NV IMAGE's Privacy Policy.

All circumstances beyond the control of the Parties preventing the performance of their obligations under normal conditions are considered as grounds for exemption from each Party's obligations and entail their suspension.

The Party invoking the circumstances referred to above must immediately notify the other Party of their occurrence, as well as of their cessation.

All irresistible facts or circumstances, external to the Parties, unforeseeable, unavoidable, beyond the control of the Parties and which cannot be prevented by them despite all reasonably possible efforts, shall be considered as events of force majeure. Expressly, the following are considered in particular as events of force majeure or fortuitous events: the blocking of means of transport or of supplies, earthquakes, fires, storms, floods, lightning, the shutdown of telecommunications networks or difficulties specific to telecommunications networks external to the Parties, fire in a datacenter, pandemics.

In the first instance, the event of force majeure shall suspend the performance of the ToU.

If the event of force majeure were to last more than sixty (60) days, the ToU may be terminated automatically, without judicial formality, by either Party by written notice to the other party.

These ToU are subject to French law.

Any dispute arising from the formation, interpretation or performance of the ToU, for whatever reason, shall be the subject of an attempt at conciliation between the Parties.

FAILING CONCILIATION, ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN THE PARTIES ARISING FROM THE FORMATION, INTERPRETATION, PERFORMANCE, CESSATION OR TERMINATION OF THE GTC SHALL BE BROUGHT BEFORE THE COMPETENT COURT WITHIN THE JURISDICTION OF THE PARIS COURT OF APPEAL. However, the User who qualifies as a consumer within the meaning of the French Consumer Code remains free to bring proceedings before the court of their place of domicile.
