ARTICLE 2 – PURPOSE OF THE CONTRACT

The Company operates websites with informative content, including an information collection form, so that any interested user can be contacted and receive commercial offers from our Advertising partners. These intentional prospects are then sent to advertisers in the form of Leads.

The parties will define the terms of the campaign jointly (criteria, collection form field, volume, type of lead, total Cost per Lead, marketing argument, etc.) based on the recommendations made by The Company, both from a technical and marketing perspective.

The Company will therefore be bound by an obligation of means towards the Advertiser and can neither commit to a volume of Leads over a period of time nor to a minimum quality of Qualified Leads.

The distinctive signs of the site publisher, such as domain names, brands, names and logos appearing on the Site, are protected under the Intellectual Property Code.

Any dispute must be submitted in writing and must be justified by the Advertiser. The Company reserves the right to refuse a dispute which is not founded on legitimate grounds.

The Advertiser recognizes and accepts that refusing an Internet user associated by a Lead to a contract for his/her offers of products or services does not constitute a legitimate reason for refusing a Lead. Any Lead which is uncontested within the aforementioned period will automatically be deemed accepted by the Advertiser.

8.2 – Convention of proof

ARTICLE 9 – REMUNERATION AND PAYMENT TERMS

The parties will agree on the type of leads and the corresponding unit price after the contract has been entered into.

The Company may modify the price of the Leads provided when a new order has been placed, however, it must have informed the Professional in advance and have been given consent by signing a new Order Form.

No reimbursement can be requested by the Professional under these circumstances in the event of the price list of Leads being changed by the Company. The Lead types chosen, as well as the prices offered to the Professional, are specified on the Insertion Order or on each Order Form.

The latter will receive an invoice payable by bank transfer, credit card or SEPA direct debit according to the latter’s choice after the order has been placed by the Advertiser.

The prices are indicated in Euros and are quoted exclusive of tax (HT).

Any payments will be considered valid by The Company from the moment the Company’s bank account has been credited. It is expected that some Leads delivered may be subject to a chargeback request.

If the Lead is recognised by The Company as a Lead that should not be invoiced, a credit for the price of the corresponding Lead will be issued and will be valid on the Advertiser’s next invoice.

Only Prospects with the following characteristics can be subject to a chargeback request:

A duplicate compared to a Prospect sent previously

A Prospect with an unassigned phone number, a wrong number or which is in dispute after having being qualified and sent by The Company

A Prospect whose name does not seem genuine

Only invoicing requests made within 10 working days will be honoured in accordance with invoicing regulation and procedures in force at the time of this request.

Any uncontested late payment of invoices will accure interest at the legal rate specified by Law 3/2004 with regard to late payment in subsidiary commercial transactions. The interest rate will be applied after fourteen (14) calendar days from the date on which the invoice (for which payment is due) was issued and sent to the advertiser up until final settlement of the aforementioned invoice and this will be calculated on a daily basis.
