In case of a payment incident, the Client is informed that the Provider may proceed to cut off access to the Service without notice.

Resuming the Services after suspension under the conditions mentioned above entails billing by the Provider of a compensation amounting to 15% (Fifteen percent) of the annual amount of the Services.
LIABILITY
The Client assumes in particular the responsibilities concerning the adequacy of the choice of Services to their needs, obtaining the authorization of the Participants as well as informing them in accordance with the applicable regulations, the qualification and competence of its personnel, and particularly the Users.
The Provider cannot be held responsible for the quality of the Internet connection. During the transfer by means of telecommunication or by all other means, no responsibility can be held against the Provider in case of alteration of the information or data during the transfer.
The Provider's liability can only be engaged in case of fault by the Provider, proven by the Client, in its contractual obligations in the execution of the Contract. The Provider will only be responsible for direct damages resulting from faults directly and exclusively attributable to it.
In this context, it is reminded that the Exchanges, as well as more generally the content integrated, transmitted, or processed via the Services by the Client, including by the Participants, fall under the sole responsibility of the Client.
The Parties agree that the total liability of the Provider under the Contract cannot be engaged, for all causes of action and all damages combined, for the duration of the Contract, beyond an amount corresponding to Fifty (50%) of the amount paid by the Client to the Provider during the year preceding the cause of the principal damage.
The Provider will not incur any liability for indirect damages. Furthermore, the Provider can in no case be held responsible for any loss of production, loss of market, expected profit or clientele, damage caused to third parties to the Contract, interruption of a service provided by a person or an asset, damage to the Client's image or reputation. Corresponding damages will not be compensable by the Provider, even if it has been informed of the possibility of such damages.
The Parties acknowledge that the Provider, in the execution of its contractual obligations, cannot assume nor be exposed to the risks associated with the Client's activity. Consequently, the Client will indemnify the Provider in case of action or claim by third parties, directed against the Provider related to the Client's activity, including in case of action arising from the use of the Services, in particular in case of action by Participants.The Client also undertakes to indemnify the Provider for all consequences resulting from an action by a third party aiming to challenge the Provider's responsibility due to the use made by the Client of the Exchanges or any other elements or information that the Client would have provided or made available in the context of the Services.

The Client guarantees the renunciation of recourse of its insurers against the Provider or the insurers of the latter beyond the limits and for the exclusions set out above.

Furthermore, the Client commits to do everything possible to minimize the damage suffered.
The stipulations of this article survive the expiration and termination of the Contract for any reason whatsoever.
TERMINATION AND CONSEQUENCES OF THE END OF THE CONTRACT
In the event of a breach by one of the Parties of one of its major obligations under the Contract, the other Party may, by registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt, give notice to the defaulting Party to remedy the breach within a period of thirty (30) days from the notification of the breach. If at the end of this thirty (30) days period, the defaulting Party does not demonstrate having remedied the breach, the non-defaulting Party may terminate the Contract concerned by the breach by sending a registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt notifying the termination.
Non-payment by the Client of the sums due to the Provider, after a formal notice remained without effect in the conditions mentioned above, justifies the termination of the Contract by the Provider. Non-respect of the intellectual property rights of the Provider by the Client justifies the termination of the Contract by the Provider without prior notice.
In the event of non-renewal, or early termination of the Contract, whatever the cause or origin, the Client shall pay the Provider the price of the Services provided by the Provider if it has not been fully paid.
The amounts paid to the Provider remain in any case acquired by it.
