13. SYSTRAN exclusions of liability and guarantee

SYSTRAN undertakes to provide the Services diligently and in accordance with the rules of the art, it being specified that it has an obligation of means, to the exclusion of any obligation of result, which Customer expressly acknowledges and accepts.
Customer acknowledges that SYSTRAN’s involvement is limited to the provision of the Services. SYSTRAN is not aware of the Content used by Users in connection herewith, on which it does not perform any moderation, selection, verification or control of any kind and in respect of which it acts only as hosting provider for the time necessary for the performance of the Services. As a result, SYSTRAN cannot be held responsible for such Content.
Furthermore, SYSTRAN cannot be held responsible for the incorrect installation of the API or Software Components by Customer in the context of the provision of the Services.
In the event that Customer uses Software Components developed by a third party, SYSTRAN assumes no liability.
It is Customer’s responsibility to take all appropriate measures in order to protect his own data and/or computer from contamination by possible viruses circulating on the Internet, with the exception of contamination caused by SYSTRAN as described below.
Furthermore, SYSTRAN does not guarantee Customer that:

  • Machine Translation Services are perfect and of the same quality as human translators. Customer acknowledges that these Services are not intended to replace human translators and cannot be perfect. Furthermore, the quality of the source text significantly affects the quality of the translations. Therefore, Customer acknowledges that SYSTRAN will not be liable for the quality of the translation obtained through the use of the Services;
  • the Services, subject to continuous research to improve their performance and progress, shall be completely free from defects, errors or defects;
  • the Services being standard and not offered solely to the Customer based on his own personal constraints, will specifically meet the Customer’s needs and expectations;
  • the Services, the Platform, the API and/or the Software Components will operate in an uninterrupted manner, SYSTRAN reserving the right to temporarily interrupt access to the Platform and/or the API and/or the Software Components for maintenance reasons under the conditions of the article “Service Level Guarantee”, and cannot under any circumstances be held liable for disruptions or failures of the Internet or the telecommunications network, and more generally which would have their origin in circumstances external to it or resulting from force majeure.

SYSTRAN is not liable to Users for any guarantee as to the number and diversity of Models offered in the Catalog.

In addition, SYSTRAN does not provide any warranty with respect to (i) the compliance of the Templates with applicable laws and regulations, (ii) the compliance of the Templates with contractual terms and the existence of possible hidden defects.

Subject to these reservations, SYSTRAN may be held liable under the conditions of ordinary law solely for direct damages suffered by the Customer, resulting from a breach of its contractual obligations as defined herein. The Customer therefore waives any claim against SYSTRAN for indirect damages, including loss of profits, loss of opportunity, commercial or financial loss, increased overheads or losses arising out of or as a result of the performance of this Agreement.

SYSTRAN shall also not be liable for any damage claimed by the Customer resulting from:

  • modification of the Services performed by SYSTRAN or any interruption of the Services under the conditions set forth herein.
  • any delay, error, technical failure or incompatibility between the Services and the Customer’s Content, information system, browser or any other program used to access the Services, or more generally any other technical difficulty beyond SYSTRAN’s control.
  • Customer’s inability to maintain the security and confidentiality of their login and password or personal data.
  • Failure by Customer to provide all information, including Customer’s personal data, necessary for the proper performance of the Services.

In any event, SYSTRAN’s liability that may be incurred hereunder shall be expressly limited to an amount not exceeding the amount invoiced by SYSTRAN in respect of the Services for the current period. SYSTRAN shall not be liable unless the Customer has made a complaint by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt within one (1) month of the occurrence.

14. Protection of personal data

SYSTRAN has a personal data protection policy; its characteristics are explained in the document entitled “Privacy Policy”, accessible from the Platform at the following address: https://www.systransoft.com/systran/privacy-policy/ and which Customer is expressly invited to read.

SYSTRAN declares that it complies with all legal and regulatory obligations relating to the protection of personal data aimed, in particular, at ensuring the security and confidentiality of the data collected and processed on its own behalf as controller.

15. Trade References

The Parties are the sole owners of their names, trademarks, logos, signs, designs. This Agreement does not, therefore, entail any assignment of the intellectual property rights held by one Party over its distinctive signs to the benefit of the other Party, nor any right of use of any kind. Each Party undertakes to respect the intellectual property rights of the other Party in respect of such distinctive signs.

However, the Professional Client expressly authorizes SYSTRAN to use its name, trademark, logo and references, as commercial references, on any medium and in any form whatsoever, for the duration of this Agreement and five (5) years after the end of the relations between the Parties, unless expressly refused by the Client in writing.

16. Third Party Links and Sites

SYSTRAN cannot be held responsible for the technical availability of websites operated by third parties (including its possible partners) to which Customer accesses via the Platform.
SYSTRAN assumes no responsibility for the content, advertising, products and/or services available on such third-party sites, which it is recalled are governed by their own terms of use.
SYSTRAN is also not responsible for transactions between Customer and any advertiser, professional or merchant (including any of its partners) to which Customer would be directed through the Platform and shall not be party to any disputes whatsoever with these third parties.

17. Insurance

SYSTRAN and the Professional Customer guarantee each to have taken out the necessary insurance policies to insure and guarantee the consequences of their professional civil liability in case it is incurred, so as to cover the financial consequences of the damages for which each would have to answer.
Each Party undertakes to maintain such policies for the duration of this Agreement. Each Party undertakes to produce the corresponding insurance certificates at the first request of the other Party.
Any modification, suspension or termination of insurance policies by either Party shall be brought to the notice of the other Party, without delay, by sending a registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt to the address of the other Party as indicated above or by email.

18. Force majeure

Neither Party may be held liable vis-à-vis the other Party in the event that the performance of its obligations is delayed, restricted or rendered impossible, due to the occurrence of an event of force majeure in the sense usually recognized by law and French courts.
It is understood between the Parties that the same consequences will apply as force majeure, personnel strikes and all other social movements, wars, riots and all other movements, administrative measures of quarantine, embargo and any other restrictive measures affecting the freedom to conduct business, viruses, attacks or any act which results in the paralysis of the Internet network or blocks the use of computer equipment and solutions, which are beyond the responsibility of the Parties and make impossible the performance of the Services in whole or in part.
The Party which is the victim of force majeure undertakes to notify the other Parties without delay, as far as possible. The obligations of the Parties shall then be suspended for the duration of the event for a period not exceeding three (3) months. The Parties shall approach each other in order to determine together the most appropriate means of mitigating, if possible, the consequences of the event(s) constituting force majeure.
In the event that the case of force majeure extends beyond the aforementioned period, either Party may terminate this Agreement, automatically, without legal formalities, without notice and without right to compensation of any kind, by sending a registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt having immediate effect, under the conditions defined in the article “Notification”.

31.1. Ordering Terms

When subscribing to a Subscription for an Initial Term of twelve (12) months, the Individual Customer shall be informed of the following provisions:

Article L.215-1 of the French Consumer Code: ‘For service contracts concluded for a fixed period with a tacit renewal clause, the professional service provider shall inform the consumer in writing, by personal letter or dedicated e-mail, at the earliest three months and at the latest one month before the end of the period authorizing the rejection of the renewal, of the possibility of not renewing the contract concluded with a tacit renewal clause. This information, delivered in clear and comprehensible terms, mentions, in an apparent box, the deadline for non-renewal.

Where such information has not been sent to the consumer in accordance with the provisions of the first subparagraph, the consumer may terminate the contract free of charge at any time from the date of renewal.

Advances made after the last renewal date or, in the case of contracts of indefinite duration, after the date of conversion of the initial fixed-term contract, shall in this case be repaid within 30 days of the date of termination, less the sums corresponding, until that date, to the performance of the contract.’

Article L.215-3 of the Consumer Code: “The provisions of this chapter shall also apply to contracts concluded between traders and non-traders.”

In the articles reproduced above, the term “contract” designates these General Conditions and/or the Offer to which the Customer has subscribed.

31.2. Refusal of order

In the event of a refusal of an Order placed by a Private Customer, SYSTRAN undertakes to justify this refusal by a legitimate reason within the meaning of Article L.121-11 of the Consumer Code.

31.3. Right of withdrawal

Pursuant to the provisions of Article L.221-18 of the Consumer Code, any Individual Customer has a withdrawal period for any sale of goods or services made through an online platform. The Individual Customer shall be entitled to a period of fourteen (14) working days from the date of acceptance of the Offer or any Order on the Marketplace, without having to justify any reason or pay any penalties. After this period, the Individual Customer can no longer exercise his right of withdrawal.
The Individual Customer nevertheless acknowledges and accepts that, pursuant to the provisions of Article L.211-28 of the Consumer Code, the right of withdrawal cannot be invoked against SYSTRAN in the event of a sale relating to services fulfilling one of the following situations:

  • The provision of services fully performed before the end of the withdrawal period and, if the contract subjects the Individual Customer to an obligation to pay, the performance of which has begun with his prior and express agreement and with his acknowledgement of the loss of his right of withdrawal, when the service has been fully performed by the professional;
  • The supply of goods produced according to the specifications of the Individual Customer or clearly personalized;
  • The supply of digital content without material support, the performance of which has commenced before the end of the withdrawal period and, if the contract subjects the Individual Customer to an obligation to pay, when he has given his express prior consent for the performance of the Services to commence before the expiry of the withdrawal period, that he has acknowledged that he will lose his right of withdrawal and when the professional has provided a confirmation of the Individual Customer’s agreement in accordance with the provisions of Article L.221-13. A waiver form is attached to these General Terms and Conditions;

The Individual Customer may exercise this right by sending SYSTRAN a clear statement expressing its wish to withdraw from any subscription of Subscription. The Individual Customer may use the form attached as an appendix to these General Terms and Conditions.
In any case, the Services will be immediately suspended upon receipt of the request for withdrawal. The Individual Customer will be reimbursed as soon as possible and at the latest within fourteen (14) days from the actual receipt by SYSTRAN of the request for withdrawal, of all the sums paid for his order. In the event that the Individual Customer has begun to use the Services, the latter acknowledges and accepts that the sums already paid at the date of the withdrawal will remain vested in SYSTRAN and cannot be refunded. In the event that the Individual Customer has used all of the Number of Characters granted for the Period before the date of withdrawal, the latter will not be entitled to any refund.

31.4. Guarantees offered to the consumer

The Individual Customer benefits from the legal guarantees provided for in articles L. 217-1 and L.217-16 of the Consumer Code, as well as article 1641 of the Civil Code and the first paragraph of article 1648 of the Civil Code, which are reproduced in full below. The Individual Customer benefits from these guarantees with SYSTRAN for a subscription to a Subscription.
In the event of non-compliance with these provisions, the guarantee shall remain valid. The Individual Customer is entitled to avail himself of it.
The Individual Customer, and only him, benefits from the legal guarantee of non-conformity under the conditions of article L.217-4 et seq. of the Consumer Code according to which “the seller is obliged to deliver a good in conformity with the contract and responds to the defects of conformity resulting from the packaging, the instructions of assembly or the installation when this was placed at his expense by the contract or was carried out under his responsibility”.
It is stated that, according to the provisions of Article L.217-5 of the Consumer Code, ‘The goods are in conformity with the contract:
(1) if it is suitable for the usual intended use of similar property and, where applicable:

  • it corresponds to the description given by the seller and possesses the qualities which the seller has presented to the buyer in the form of a sample or model;
  • It has the qualities which a buyer may legitimately expect in view of the public statements made by the seller, the producer or his representative, in particular in advertising or labeling;

(2) or if it has the characteristics defined by mutual agreement of the parties or is suitable for any special use sought by the buyer, brought to the seller’s notice and accepted by the latter’.
According to the terms of article L.217-12 of the Consumer Code, the Customer is informed that “the action resulting from the lack of conformity is prescribed by two years from the delivery of the good”.
SYSTRAN is also bound by the hidden defects of the thing sold under the conditions laid down in Article 1641 of the Civil Code, according to which ‘the seller is bound by the guarantee in respect of the hidden defects of the thing sold which render it unfit for the use for which it is intended, or which so diminish that use that the buyer would not have acquired it, or would have given it only a lower price, if they had known them’.
The Individual Customer is informed that according to Article 1648 of the Civil Code, “the action resulting from the redhibitory defects must be brought by the purchaser within two years from the discovery of the defect”. If the Individual Customer decides to implement the guarantee against hidden defects of the product or service sold, he can choose between the resolution of the Sale or a reduction of the sale price in accordance with article 1644 of the Civil Code.
It is recalled that, when acting as a legal guarantee of conformity, every consumer:

  • has a period of two (2) years from the issuance of the property to act;
  • may choose between repair or replacement of the goods, subject to the cost conditions laid down in Article L. 217-4 of the Consumer Code;
  •  shall be exempt from providing evidence of the existence of the lack of conformity of the goods.
