These General Terms of Services (hereinafter the "GTS") set out the general framework applicable to services provided by Ether's (hereinafter the "Service Provider"), operating in particular under the Forja brand, to its clients (hereinafter the "Client").
They apply to any service, except where otherwise stipulated in a specific agreement signed between the parties, which prevails over these GTS in the event of any conflict.
The Service Provider offers engagements covering digital strategy, content creation, social media management, and overall online presence management for its clients.
Services are delivered as a monthly package, complementary monthly modules, or one-off options, under the conditions set out in the agreement signed with the Client.
The services constitute an obligation of means (best-efforts obligation).
Prices applied are those in force at the time of the agreement's signature. They are detailed in the agreement signed between the parties.
The Service Provider operates under the French VAT exemption regime (article 293 B of the French General Tax Code). No VAT is charged.
Any late payment automatically triggers, without prior formal notice, late payment penalties at the applicable statutory rate, as well as a flat-rate recovery fee of €40, in accordance with articles L441-10 and D441-5 of the French Commercial Code.
Payments are made exclusively by bank transfer to the Service Provider's account. No other payment method is accepted, unless otherwise agreed in writing in advance.
The start of any service is conditional on receipt of full payment before actual commencement.
Unless otherwise stipulated in the signed agreement, services are concluded for an initial term of one month, tacitly renewable for successive one-month periods, unless non-renewal is notified in writing by either party, with a 15-day notice period before the end of the ongoing monthly period.
The detailed termination conditions, including termination for fault, are set out in the agreement signed between the parties.
In the absence of a specific agreement, either party may terminate the service as of right in the event of a material breach by the other party, in writing, without notice or indemnity. A prior formal notice by email is required, with a 5 business-day cure period.
Finalized content created in the course of an engagement is assigned to the Client upon full payment of the fee. The Client then holds an unlimited right of use over the content produced.
Templates, frameworks, analytical grids, methodologies, editorial structures, databases, document templates, and management tools created, developed, or used by the Service Provider remain the Service Provider's exclusive intellectual property.
Making them available to the Client, notably through shared workspaces, is in view-only mode, with no right to copy, edit, export, or duplicate. The Client shall not share, transmit, reproduce, or make these items accessible to third parties, whether natural persons, competing service providers, or automated tools (artificial intelligence, scraping or content-processing systems).
The Service Provider retains the right to mention the collaboration as a professional reference.
Each party undertakes not to disclose the other party's confidential information, notably commercial, strategic, and financial data, for the duration of the engagement and after its termination.
The Client authorizes the Service Provider to record (audio and/or video) meetings, work sessions, and calls carried out as part of the engagement. These recordings may be reused by the Service Provider for communication and content-creation purposes, provided that the Client's voice, face, and any element identifying the Client do not appear in them.
The Service Provider shall not be held liable for commercial results (sales, turnover, number of views or followers) generated by the engagement. In any event, the Service Provider's liability is limited to the total amount of fees received for the engagement concerned.
The Client undertakes to cooperate actively with the Service Provider, in particular:
These GTS are governed by French law. In the event of a dispute, the parties undertake to seek an amicable solution before any legal action. Failing that, the dispute will be brought before the competent courts of the Service Provider's registered-office jurisdiction.
The Service Provider reserves the right to amend these GTS at any time. The version applicable to an engagement is the one in force at the date of signature of the corresponding agreement.
