The Taqt Solutions are connected to a SaaS platform enabling the management of data and information collected and analyzed through the Taqt Solutions (hereinafter the "Platform").
The purpose of these general terms and conditions (hereinafter the "General Terms and Conditions") is to determine the terms and conditions under which Taqt sells a Taqt Solution to any professional who requests it (hereinafter the "Customers") and grants them a license to use the Platform, as well as the associated services (hereinafter the "Services").

The General Conditions express the entire agreement of the Parties and cancel and replace any previous agreement, letter, offer or other written or oral document having the same purpose, with the exception of the signed quotation which forms an integral part thereof.
They may be supplemented, if necessary, by specific terms of use, which supplement these General Terms and Conditions and, in the event of contradiction, prevail over them.
The Services are operated by Taqt, a simplified joint stock company, registered in the Lyon Trade and Companies Register under number 534 232 558, whose registered office is located at Le Britannia - Allée C étage 7 - 20 bd Eugène Deruelle - 69003 Lyon - France (hereinafter "Taqt").

Any legal entity acting through a natural person who has the legal capacity to contract in the name and on behalf of the legal entity.
The Services are intended for professionals, i.e. any person acting for the needs of the exercise of his profession, and for private individuals.
Prior to signing the quote or placing an order on the Site, the Customer declares that he/she (i) has read these General Conditions and (ii) expressly accepts them.
This acceptance is materialized by the signature of the quote or by a box to be ticked in the process of placing the order on the Site.
The acceptance of the General Conditions can only be full and complete. Any conditional acceptance is considered null and void. The Customer who does not agree to be bound by the General Conditions must not sign the quotation or place an order on the Site.
To place an order for Taqt Solutions and Services, the Customer must, at his convenience:

or to place an order on the Site by clicking on the "order" button.
In order to place an order, the Customer must provide certain information, such as name, first name, company name, contact e-mail address, telephone number, address and postal code.
The Customer may also be asked to provide additional information that is optional but may be useful to Taqt in providing the Customer with a more personalized experience. This information could include, for example, payment information.
The Customer is hereby informed that any order automatically entails the opening of an account in the Customer's name (hereinafter the "Account"), giving the Customer access to a personal space (hereinafter the "Personal Space") that enables the Customer to manage his or her use of the Services in a form and according to the technical means that Taqt deems most appropriate for rendering these Services.
The Customer guarantees that all the information he provides in the context of his order is accurate, up-to-date and sincere and is not misleading.
He undertakes to update this information in his Personal Space in the event of changes or to contact the Taqt support team so that it can make the necessary changes.
The Customer is hereby informed and accepts that the information entered for the purposes of creating or updating his Account shall constitute proof of his identity. The information entered by the Customer is binding upon validation.
The Customer can access his Personal Space at any time after having identified himself using his login and the password he has created.
The Customer undertakes to use the Services personally and not to allow any third party to use them in his place or on his behalf, unless he bears full responsibility.
He is also responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of his login and password. The Customer undertakes not to share his login and password, not to allow other people to access or use his Account, nor to do anything that might compromise the security of his password or his Account. He must immediately contact Taqt at the contact details mentioned in the "Services Operator" section of these General Terms and Conditions if he notices that his Account has been used without his knowledge. He acknowledges Taqt's right to take all appropriate measures in such a case.
At the end of the order, Taqt shall send the Customer, by any means it deems appropriate and in particular by e-mail, a confirmation of the order (hereinafter the "Order Confirmation").
The Order Confirmation shall summarise the characteristic elements of the Order.
The Order Confirmation shall be accompanied by (i) the version of the General Terms and Conditions in force on the date of the Order, (ii) the invoice corresponding to the Order.
The Customer must ensure that the contact details he/she provided when placing the Order or updating his/her Account are correct and that they enable him/her to receive the Order Confirmation. If the Customer does not receive the Order Confirmation, he/she should contact Taqt using the contact details mentioned in the article "Operator of the Services".
The Order Confirmation shall be deemed proof of the transaction.
Delivery is made to the address indicated at the time of the order.
It is carried out by a carrier independent of Taqt.
The Customer acknowledges and accepts that the carrier's delivery times are mentioned on the quotations and/or the Site for information purposes only.
Taqt shall make its best efforts to comply with the scheduled shipping dates.
It undertakes to inform the Customer, as soon as possible, of any foreseeable delay in delivery and/or of any measure taken to remedy the situation.
Nevertheless, it shall not be held liable for any delay in delivery.
Once delivered, the Taqt Solution must be installed by the Customer by following the indications and instructions provided by Taqt by any means.
The Customer acknowledges and accepts that this installation is his responsibility and that Taqt shall not be held liable for any malfunction of the Taqt Solution due to its incorrect installation.
On delivery of the Taqt Solution, Taqt gives the Customer an access code enabling him to connect to the Platform and thus to have access to the Services and to the data collected through the Taqt Solution.
The Customer who subscribes to the Services under the conditions of the article "Ordering the Services" commits to a fixed-term subscription of one (1) year, tacitly renewable under the same terms and conditions for successive periods of the same duration, unless the Customer terminates his subscription under the conditions below.
The Customer may terminate his subscription:
Either by sending a request to this effect to Taqt, by email to the contact details mentioned in the article "Operation of Services";
Or by making this request directly via his Personal Space.
Any termination must be made at the latest one (1) month before the anniversary date of the subscription.
The Customer will receive an e-mail confirming the cancellation as soon as possible. The subscription cancelled under these conditions will end on the last day of the current subscription period.
The price of the Taqt Solution and the subscription to the Services is that indicated on the Site or on the quote. It depends on the characteristics of the Taqt Solution chosen.
Unless otherwise stated, the price is indicated in euros and includes all taxes.
Charges may also be applicable in certain situations. Where applicable, the amount of these charges is indicated on the Site or on the quote so that the Customer can be informed of them before placing an order.
The price of the subscription to the Platform will be automatically revised annually on the anniversary date of the subscription, according to the following formula:
P1 = P0 x (S1 / S0)
P1 : revised price
P0: initial contract price or last revised price
S0: SYNTEC reference index, used on the date of the order or the last revision of the Contract.
S1: last SYNTEC index published on the revision date.
In the event of the disappearance of the SYNTEC index, Taqt shall decide on the choice of a replacement index and shall inform the Customer thereof without delay.
Taqt also reserves the right to revise the subscription price beyond the amount of the revision as calculated above.
In the event of such a case, the Customer shall be informed by any useful written means, and in particular by e-mail, at least two (2) months before the new rates come into force.
The Customer acknowledges and accepts that the new prices apply when the subscription is renewed.
If the Customer does not accept the new prices, he/she must terminate his/her subscription under the conditions of the article "Duration of Services". Otherwise, the Customer is deemed to have accepted the new prices.
Unless expressly stipulated otherwise in the quote, payment of the price of the Taqt Solution and the first instalment of the subscription to the Services shall be made by direct debit from the bank account whose details were provided at the time of ordering (hereinafter the "Direct Debit"), which the Customer acknowledges and accepts.
Any other payment due date for the subscription, whose periodicity is annual, is made on the anniversary date of the subscription, again subject to any express provision to the contrary.
The Customer undertakes to take all necessary steps to ensure that the Prepayment can be made.
The Customer is hereby informed that he/she may change his/her payment method at any time, directly from his/her Account. This change may (i) cause temporary disruption to the Services, while Taqt checks the new payment information and/or (ii) result in an exceptional change to the date of debiting of the subscription. Taqt may not be held liable in any way in this respect.
When the order is placed from the Site, the Direct Debit is carried out by the following secure payment solution provider: Stripe (hereinafter: the "Payment Provider"), to which Taqt subcontracts the implementation of the payment and which alone retains the Customer's bank details for this purpose.
The Customer is hereby informed that Taqt does not keep any bank details.
Customers' banking information in connection with their use of the Services is subject to automated data processing, for which the Payment Provider is responsible.
The Customer is hereby informed and expressly accepts that any delay in payment of all or part of the sums due on their due date will automatically lead, without prejudice to the provisions of the article "Termination for default" and without prior notice of default:
The forfeiture of all sums due by the Customer and their immediate payment;
The immediate suspension of the Services in progress until full payment of all the sums owed by the Customer;
The invoicing, for the benefit of Taqt, of late payment interest at the rate of three (3) times the legal interest rate, based on the amount of all the sums owed by the Customer and of a fixed indemnity of forty (40) euros for collection costs.
Access to the Subscription Services may begin with a free trial for a limited time. If Customer receives a free trial, the specific terms of the offer will be as set forth in the material describing the free trial offer. Free trials are reserved for new Taqt customers.
It is not possible to combine free trials with other offers.
Taqt reserves the right to freely determine the conditions and limitations of eligibility for any free trial. Once the free trial period has ended and in the absence of any cancellation by the Customer, Taqt will collect the subscription instalments relating to the Services chosen by the Customer. For this reason, Taqt reserves the right to ask the Customer, prior to the activation of any free trial. If the Customer wishes to cancel the subscription at the end of the free trial period, he must follow the procedure stipulated in the conditions applicable to the free trial period.
The Customer shall not monetize, sell, grant, exchange or, more generally, negotiate all or part of the access to the Services or to the Platform, as well as to the information and/or texts, images and other content used by Taqt on the Solution in connection with the use of the Services.
This right is granted to all individual Customers, as well as to professional Customers, provided that they meet the following cumulative conditions
That their main activity is not in the same field of activity as that of Taqt;
That they have five (5) employees or less.
If the Customer fails to meet these conditions, the right of withdrawal shall not apply.
The Customer has a period of fourteen (14) working days from the date of receipt of the Taqt Solution(s) to withdraw from his order. He may exercise this right by sending to Taqt the contact details mentioned in the article "Operator of the Services", before the expiry of the aforementioned period, the withdrawal form attached in Appendix 1 duly completed, or by sending to Taqt any other unambiguous statement expressing his wish to withdraw.
The Taqt Solution(s) received must imperatively be returned to Taqt in its/their original packaging. They must be accompanied by a copy of the corresponding purchase invoice. The Taqt Solution(s) must not have been used. The Customer shall be deemed to be responsible in the event of damage to the Taqt Solution(s) upon receipt by Taqt.
The Customer is required to return his elements using a shipper providing a tracking number for the shipment (i.e. FedEx, UPS, DHL).
The exercise of the right of withdrawal does not have to be justified. No penalty is due to the Customer for exercising the right of withdrawal, except for the return shipping costs, which remain at the Customer's expense and must be paid by the Customer. The exercise of this right will result in the automatic cancellation of the subscription or the transaction.
The Customer shall be reimbursed for all the sums paid for his order as soon as possible and at the latest within fourteen (14) days from the date of effective receipt by Taqt of the request for withdrawal, after deduction, where applicable, of the cost of return, which shall remain payable by the Customer. However, Taqt reserves the right to defer this refund until the Taqt Solution(s) has/have been effectively recovered.
Taqt packages and ships each order that includes one or more Taqt Solution(s) ("Hardware") in accordance with its standard practices, but also with regard to the rules established by its partner delivery companies.
Shipping and handling charges are included in the price of orders and are expressly mentioned on the quotation or the Site, prior to any order being placed.
Apart from the exercise of any applicable right of withdrawal, if the Customer wishes to cancel an order that Taqt has not yet executed, or if he is not satisfied with the material for any reason whatsoever, he must contact Taqt (hereinafter the "Cancellation Request"):
within thirty (30) calendar days from the date of the order if the order has not been fulfilled or
within seven (7) days of delivery of the order if he is not satisfied with the material received.
Any delivery shall be deemed accepted if Customer does not express its rejection of the order within seven (7) days after delivery.
The Cancellation Request must specify the details of your order.
As soon as possible after receiving the Cancellation Request, Taqt undertakes to send a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) by email to the requesting Customer.
The Customer shall then return the equipment with all the parts/components included in the order, each item to be returned in its original packaging and accompanied by the corresponding invoice, to the shipping address indicated on the RMA.
Customer is required to return items using a shipper that provides a tracking number (i.e. FedEx, UPS, DHL).
Customer is required to include the valid MRA number provided by Taqt with the return shipment, clearly visible on the outside of the returned package.
The returned equipment must not have been used, which the Customer acknowledges and accepts.
Upon receipt of the returned equipment and subject to its good condition and the Customer having complied with the above procedure, Taqt will analyze the claim and, if it is well-founded, will refund, grant a credit note or replace, at its discretion, the Taqt Solution that is the subject of the claim, to the exclusion of any other Taqt Solution.
Taqt reserves the right to reject or return, at the Customer's expense, any materials not returned in accordance with the above instructions.
Cancellation Requests received by Taqt more than thirty (30) calendar days after the date of the order for any unfulfilled order or more than seven (7) days from delivery of the order may be evaluated on a case-by-case basis, subject to approval by Taqt management.

Unless otherwise expressly provided, all fees paid by Customer prior to its Cancellation Request are non-refundable, including, without limitation, any fees paid in advance for the billing cycle in which Customer cancels.
Cancellation after the cancellation deadline - provided it is accepted by Taqt - does not relieve Customer of its obligation to pay any fees or charges accrued prior to its Cancellation Request.
In the event of cancellation of his order, the Customer shall lose access to the benefits to which he had access and Taqt shall have the right to delete the information and data stored in the Customer's Account.
Without prejudice to the other obligations set forth herein, Customers agree to comply with the following obligations.
The Customers undertake, in their use of the Services, to respect the laws and regulations in force and not to infringe the rights of third parties or public order.

For one (1) calendar year from the date of the order, Taqt warrants to Customer (as opposed to a third party) that the equipment manufactured by or for Taqt received by Customer from Taqt (as opposed to a third party) will be free from defects in materials and workmanship (hereinafter the "Warranty").
The Warranty is offered to the Customer subject to compliance with the following conditions: (i) that the equipment delivered as part of the order has been used under normal conditions of use and in accordance with all technical specifications and/or user manuals accompanying such equipment; and (ii) that the equipment for which a warranty is claimed is associated with an active, fully paid subscription to the Services.
The Customer who wishes to invoke the Warranty must contact Taqt by email within one (1) calendar year from the date of the order.
If Customer activates its Warranty in accordance with the provisions hereof and follows the instructions for returning the equipment set forth in the "Returns" section, Taqt shall, at its discretion, either (i) repair the equipment using new or refurbished parts; (ii) replace the equipment with new or refurbished equipment; or (iii) refund the full purchase price of the equipment, less shipping and handling charges and duties and taxes paid by Customer at the time of order (i.e., shipping and handling charges, duties and taxes are not refundable).

In the event that the equipment has been made available to the Customer, in particular in the context of a rental, the Customer acknowledges and accepts that this placing in possession commits him to an obligation of custody and conservation of the rented equipment.
Thus, the Customer is required to ensure, from the moment he receives the equipment until it is handed over to Taqt, the custody, proper use and preservation of the equipment.
To this end, it shall take all necessary steps to ensure such custody and preservation and in particular to protect the equipment against any damage, loss or theft.
In this respect, the Customer acknowledges and accepts that he/she bears all risks of loss, destruction and/or theft of the equipment as soon as he/she receives it: the latter becomes under his/her control.
In the event that any of these events should occur, the Customer undertakes to inform Taqt in writing as soon as possible, providing details of the event, including identification of the equipment made available and/or rented concerned.
Taqt reserves the right, at any time, with or without prior notice, to: (i) stop the production or distribution of the equipment and/or recall any made available and/or leased equipment and/or (ii) change the design or specifications of such equipment.
Where applicable, the Customer undertakes to cease, immediately upon request by Taqt, all use of the equipment and to return it to Taqt as soon as possible in accordance with the procedure specified in the article "Returns".

The provision of the equipment, in particular for rental purposes, does not confer any right of ownership on the Customer, who is merely the custodian. The equipment remains the full and exclusive property of Taqt, which the Customer acknowledges and accepts.
Consequently, the Customer shall be fully liable for any breach or non-performance of the obligations incumbent upon it under the terms hereof.
In the event that the Customer fails to return to Taqt any equipment made available and/or rented as required by these General Terms and Conditions, the Customer shall be liable to Taqt, within five (5) days of the date on which it was required to return such equipment, for the retail value of one unit of such equipment that is new and not removed from its packaging.
Customer agrees to comply with all applicable international, national, state, regional and local laws and regulations with respect to all transactions involving the made available and/or leased equipment, including, without limitation, all applicable European and U.S. export control laws and regulations regarding the export and re-export of technology and documentation.

Once such information is shared with the particular third party product or service, its use will be governed by the third party's privacy policy and terms of service.
As long as the Customer pays all the sums due to Taqt in connection with its order for the Services, Taqt grants the Customer, for the entire duration of this Agreement, a personal, non-transferable, revocable and non-exclusive license to use the Platform in its version as it exists on the date hereof and in any future versions, as well as its technical documentation (hereinafter the "License").

Any disassembly, decompilation, deciphering, extraction, reuse, copying and, more generally, any act of reproduction, representation, distribution and use of any of these elements, in whole or in part, without the authorization of Taqt is strictly prohibited and may be subject to legal proceedings for infringement and/or unfair competition.
The Customer also undertakes to refrain from creating and/or developing a product that infringes the Taqt Solution and/or the Platform.
This prohibition is effective for the entire duration of the application of these terms and conditions and shall survive the end of these terms and conditions for the entire duration of the legal protection of intellectual property rights.
All rights not expressly granted herein are reserved by Taqt.
The Customer acknowledges and agrees that it is his responsibility to verify that he has all the software, hardware and other system components required for his use of the Services, and to ensure that they are compatible with the use of the Services and correctly configured. The Customer acknowledges and accepts that Taqt cannot provide the Services properly if these requirements and compatibility are not met.
In particular, the Customer must have a cell phone and/or an Internet connection in working order, a supported device (to use a site and/or a mobile application) and other hardware, software, equipment or elements specified by Taqt.
Taqt recommends for this purpose the use of a high-speed internet connection with a bandwidth of at least 1 Mbps upstream, although lower upload speeds may also be sufficient. Taqt reserves the right to modify the minimum configuration required at any time, which the Customer acknowledges and accepts.
Taqt cares about the integrity and security of its users' personal information. Nevertheless, Taqt cannot guarantee that unauthorized third parties will never be able to defeat Taqt's security measures.
From time to time, Taqt may provide updates, upgrades, patches, bug fixes, and other modifications to improve the technological infrastructure integrating the Services and to the devices, including, without limitation, the Site and/or the Mobile Applications, the Platform and related services (hereinafter "Updates").
Customer acknowledges and agrees that it may be required to install Updates in order to continue to access and use the Taqt Solutions, the Platform and/or the Services. Customer agrees that Updates may be automatically installed without additional notification or consent. Any Update provided to the Customer is made on a license exchange basis, so that the Customer agrees, as a condition of receiving an Update, to terminate all rights to use any previous version of any software related to the Taqt Solutions, Platform and/or Services affected by the Update. However, Customer may continue to use such earlier version to the extent that it may assist Customer in upgrading to the Update. Once an Update has been released, Taqt may discontinue support for previous versions, with or without notice.
Unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing, Taqt does not provide technical support services relating to the Taqt Solutions, Platform and/or Services; however, Customer may order support services for an additional fee (or as expressly provided elsewhere in the Agreement) that Taqt may offer from time to time.

The termination or suspension hereof shall be without prejudice to any damages that Taqt may claim as a result of the Customer's breach and any penalty that may be due to it.
Termination of the Services shall entail deletion of the Customer's Account, which shall then no longer have access to its Personal Space.
The Customer is expressly informed and accepts that all the information he has put online on the Platform may remain accessible on it for a maximum of three (3) months. Beyond this period, the Customer will be responsible for recovering the data in the format of his choice.
Any termination or suspension of the Services shall not give rise to any credit or refund of any kind whatsoever, except in the cases expressly provided for in this document.
Taqt has set up a recycling program. In this respect, it proposes to any Customer who so wishes, to send it, at the end of the application of the General Conditions, a transport voucher so that the Customer can return all the Taqt Solutions in his possession. The conditions of return are stipulated on the transport voucher.
Taqt therefore invites the Customer to inform it of his intention to benefit from this recycling program.
The Platform is also available by means of a software application accessible at app.taqt.com (hereinafter the "Taqt App").
Nevertheless, Taqt does not guarantee that the Taqt App will be compatible with all mobile devices. Other Apps may interact with the Taqt App in unpredictable ways, and Taqt does not warrant against malfunctions or errors caused by such interactions.
Taqt and its licensors or third party vendors retain all rights and interests in the mobile apps.

Taqt is solely responsible for handling any claim by Customers or any third party relating to the Taqt App, including, without limitation: (i) any claim that the Apps do not comply with any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and (iii) claims arising under consumer protection or similar legislation. All such claims are governed solely by these Terms and any applicable law. Customer agrees to comply with the terms and conditions applicable to any third party products and services accessed in connection with the use of the Taqt App, including, without limitation, other software.
Taqt undertakes to provide the Services diligently and according to the rules of the trade. Its responsibility is exclusively limited to the provision of the Services in accordance with the terms and conditions described herein, to the exclusion of any other service.
It undertakes to carry out regular checks to verify the operation and accessibility of the Platform. In this respect, Taqt reserves the right to temporarily interrupt access to the Platform for maintenance purposes, without being held liable. Similarly, Taqt shall not be held liable for any difficulties or temporary impossibility of access to the Platform due to circumstances beyond its control, force majeure or due to disruptions in the telecommunications networks.
Taqt does not guarantee to Customers:

that the Taqt Solutions and the Services will be compatible and will function with the Customer's network, equipment and/or infrastructure;
that the Taqt Solutions and Services will operate uninterruptedly and without error;
that the Taqt Solutions and Services, being standard and in no way offered solely to a given Customer according to his own personal constraints, will specifically meet his needs and expectations.
In this respect, the Customer is informed and accepts that the Taqt Solutions and Services are not specifically designed for uses requiring:
a high level of accuracy in the information and data delivered, so that any inaccuracy or error in the data would have significant, serious or dangerous consequences ;
or a high level of security;
or where the stakes are such that failure to deliver the information and data could result in death, serious bodily harm and/or serious physical or environmental damage. In particular, Taqt Solutions and Services are not designed or intended to be operated as a life support system, medical device, nuclear device or in connection with national defense.
The Customer is furthermore informed and accepts that the data to which he has access via the Taqt Solutions and Services are given without any guarantee of accuracy and/or precision whatsoever. Despite all the care and attention paid by Taqt to the design and implementation of its Taqt Solutions and Services, it cannot guarantee the Customer that they are free of errors or inaccuracies, particularly with regard to the data they deliver. This data cannot therefore have an indisputable evidential value, which the Customer acknowledges and accepts. The Customer is obliged to take these circumstances into account in the evaluation and implementation of his own products and services, of which he declares - by accepting the present - to be fully aware. He alone assumes the consequences in this respect.
Taqt shall not be held liable for the content of the data, the consequences of any errors and/or inaccuracies that they may contain and the possibility of data holes beyond its control.
The data accessible via the Taqt Solutions and Services may not be exhaustive.
Taqt shall not be liable for any malfunction of the Taqt Solution, the Platform and/or the Services or for any operation that does not comply with the Customer's expected use if these circumstances result from a failure on the part of the Customer to install the Taqt device and/or equipment or from any repair or maintenance of the equipment or any Taqt device carried out by the Customer himself or by a third party who is not Taqt.
Furthermore, Taqt shall not be held liable for any malfunction of the Taqt Solution or Taqt equipment linked to the batteries. In this respect, it is the Customer's responsibility to change the batteries in the Taqt Solutions as necessary.
THE WARRANTIES EXPRESSLY SET FORTH HEREIN ARE EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, IN FACT OR IN LAW, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, OR ARISING OUT OF THE COURSE OF DEALING BETWEEN THE PARTIES OR FROM USAGE OF TRADE.
Taqt shall not be held liable for the non-performance or delay in the performance of its obligations if such non-performance or delay is caused (i) by a failure on the part of the Customer to meet its own obligations or (ii) by a circumstance that is external and/or not attributable to it.
In any event, Taqt shall not be liable to the Customer for payment of damages of any kind whatsoever, whether direct, indirect, incidental, material, commercial, financial or moral (including, without limitation, loss of use, profits, data, information or clientele) as a result of the performance hereof, for an amount greater than the amount of the last twelve (12) monthly instalments of payment invoiced by Taqt in performance of the General Conditions.
Taqt's liability may only be incurred if the Customer has made a claim, by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt, within a period of one (1) month following the occurrence of the damage that is the subject of the dispute and provided that this claim is made within one (1) year of the occurrence of the event that gave rise to the Customer's claim.
CUSTOMER'S RIGHTS MAY VARY FROM ONE GEOGRAPHIC AREA TO ANOTHER, AND SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT RECOGNIZE THE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY DAMAGES AS CONTAINED IN THESE TERMS. WITH REGARD TO SUCH LEGISLATION, TAQT'S LIABILITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE GREATEST EXTENT POSSIBLE.
Customer agrees to defend Taqt (and its affiliates, representatives, agents, shareholders, directors, officers, employees, successors and assigns) from and against any third party claim, action, suit or proceeding arising out of or related to the breach of any of its obligations under these terms and conditions or any unauthorized use of the Products and Services, and to indemnify Taqt for all losses, damages, costs, expenses and liabilities incurred by Taqt in connection with such breach, based on or related to the breach of any of its obligations under these Terms or any unauthorized use of the Products and Services, and to indemnify it for all losses, damages, expenses and costs (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and costs) incurred by Taqt as a result of such claim, action, suit or proceeding.
The Customer is prohibited from developing and/or marketing, directly or indirectly, a product that competes with the Taqt Solutions and/or the Platform.
A competing product is defined as any product with identical or similar characteristics to the Taqt Solutions and/or the Platform and/or meeting the same needs or objectives.
This prohibition shall apply throughout the period of application of the General Conditions
and shall continue for a period of two (2) years after their termination.
The provisions below apply to all individual Customers, as well as to professional Customers provided that they meet the following cumulative conditions:
That their main activity is not in the same field of activity as that of Taqt;
That they have five (5) employees or less.
If the Professional Customer fails to meet these conditions, the provisions below shall not apply to it.
In the event of a dispute relating to these General Terms and Conditions, the Customer may have free recourse to a consumer mediator in accordance with articles L612-1 et seq. of the Consumer Code.
