Any reproduction, representation, distribution, adaptation, marketing of the Content not in accordance with the preceding provisions, would constitute the offense of counterfeiting, in accordance with the provisions of Article L.335-3 of the French Intellectual Property Code.

11. Avoidance Guarantee

SYSTRAN guarantees to Customer the full and peaceful enjoyment of the licensed rights in the Services against any disturbance, action, claim or avoidance. In particular, it guarantees Customer (i) that it has all the rights and authorizations necessary to grant the license provided herein and that the SYSTRAN Services do not contain anything that could fall within the scope of laws and regulations relating in particular to counterfeiting, unfair competition, privacy, right to image, rights of personality and more generally to infringe the rights of third parties and, (ii) that it has not consented and will not grant to a third party any assignment or license to use the Services that could prevent or hinder the exercise of the rights held by Customer under license on said Services.

It undertakes to indemnify Customer for any damage that he may suffer and to pay him any costs, indemnities, charges and/or convictions that he may have to bear as a result.
In return, Customer undertakes to notify SYSTRAN by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt as soon as possible from their receipt, of any formal notice or summons or request received from a third party. However, the Parties agree that, unless expressly waived, SYSTRAN will take control of the defense and any negotiations for a settlement.
Customer acknowledges and agrees that this Guarantee does not apply where the third party’s claim arises, even in part, from any use of the Services that is not in accordance with the terms of the license as set forth herein.
In the same terms, Customer guarantees SYSTRAN that they have all the rights and authorizations of any kind necessary to use the Content and submit it for translation on the Platform in the context of the Services. Customer guarantees SYSTRAN that the Content does not contain anything that could fall under the laws and regulations relating in particular to counterfeiting, unfair competition, privacy, right to image, rights of personality and more generally violate the rights of third parties.

12. 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 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.
  • Users’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.

13. 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/policies/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.

14. 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, Customer 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 Customer in writing.

15. 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.

16. Insurance

SYSTRAN and 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.

17. 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”.

18. Termination

The Subscription then ends at the end of the subscribed period.

18.2. Termination for breach

In the event of a failure by one of the Parties to fulfill any of its obligations under the Agreement, which would not be remedied within thirty (30) calendar days from the receipt of a formal notice to have to remedy the failure addressed by registered mail with acknowledgement of receipt, the other Party may, of its own right and without legal formalities, terminate the Agreement.
Termination of this Agreement shall be without prejudice to any damages to which the Terminating Party may be entitled as a result of the failure of the other Party and any penalties due to it.
If Customer breaches the terms of this Agreement and fail to correct the breach within 30 days after SYSTRAN notifies Customer in writing, SYSTRAN may end this Agreement and Customer’s use of the Services. If SYSTRAN ends this Agreement as specified in the preceding sentence, Customer must pay within 30 days all amounts which have accrued prior to the end of this Agreement, as well as all sums remaining unpaid for SYSTRAN Services received under this Agreement. Customer agrees that if it is in default under this Agreement, Customer may no longer use those Services.

18.3. Termination in case of modification of the Services

SYSTRAN reserves the right to terminate the Subscription at any time, subject to sending to Customer a registered letter with or without acknowledgement of receipt at least thirty (30) days before the termination of the Subscription takes effect, in the event that:

  • The continuation of commercial relations between Customer and SYSTRAN and/or the provision of the Services would become unlawful under the applicable regulations, for any reason whatsoever;
  • SYSTRAN would terminate business relationships with any partner with whom it provides all or part of the Services to Customer and/or in the event that such partner ceases to provide its share of the Services to Customer.

18.4. Consequences of termination of the Subscription

The non-renewal and/or termination of the Subscription for any reason shall result in the deactivation of all Accounts opened by Customer. Customer is entitled to recover all data, content and more generally all elements stored on its Accounts by its own means. Customer acknowledges and accepts that SYSTRAN shall not be liable for any loss or alteration of the data stored on Accounts after the deactivation of the Accounts, whatever the cause.
Customer acknowledges and accepts that all amounts paid under the Subscription at the date of the denunciation will remain vested in SYSTRAN and that Customer will not be entitled to request their restitution. In particular, in the event that Customer has not used all the Number of Characters granted, he will not be entitled to obtain a refund.
In the event of termination by SYSTRAN due to Customer’s breach of its obligations, Customer acknowledges and agrees that all payments made for the Services shall remain vested in SYSTRAN.
In the event of termination by Customer due to the failure of SYSTRAN and/or its Subcontractors to fulfill its obligations, Customer acknowledges and accepts that he will only be entitled to obtain reimbursement of the sums paid in respect of the remuneration of the Services in proportion to the number of full months remaining between the effective date of the termination and the end of the Subscription, as well as reimbursement of the fraction of the Number of Characters not used at the effective date of the termination.
Finally, the Parties acknowledge and accept that the termination of the Agreement, for any reason whatsoever, has no effect on the continuation of the obligations provided for in the Agreement that have their own duration, in particular the provisions relating to confidentiality, the protection of personal data and intellectual property.

19. Changes to Terms and Conditions

SYSTRAN reserves the right to modify these General Terms and Conditions at any time.

21. Assignment

The Parties agree that the Agreement may not be assigned or transferred, in whole or in part, in any form whatsoever, by either Party to any third party, without the prior written consent of the other Party.

22. Waiver

The fact that one of the Parties has not exercised any right or power pursuant to the provisions of Agreement, or has exercised it late, cannot be interpreted as a waiver to exercise all or part of this right or power, and any single or partial exercise of any right or power cannot prevent a new implementation of this right or power.

23. Independence between the Parties

The Parties hereto are legally independent of each other. Each Party shall act in its own name and on its behalf.
