If the signatory acts on behalf of an entity, they guarantee having the necessary authority to bind it. Otherwise, the use of the Services is prohibited.

These General Terms and Conditions of Sale take precedence over any other Client document, including its general purchasing terms, unless otherwise expressly and in writing accepted by the Supplier.

2. Definitions

The following terms refer to: Application: the ViaDialog software platform made available to the Customer; Order Form: the signed document specifying the Services, Units, and pricing; Customer: the signing legal entity; Agreement: these General Terms and Conditions and the Order Form(s); Data: any content processed through the Services; Environment: the Customer's technical infrastructure; Provider: ViaDialog; Services: the services described in the Order Form; Units: the subscribed licenses, minutes, or sessions; User: any person authorized by the Customer to access the Services.

3. Subject Matter

The Agreement defines the terms and conditions under which the Provider grants the Customer a personal, non-exclusive, and non-transferable right of access to the Services, Units, and Associated Services, in accordance with the signed Order Form.

4. Prerequisites

The Client is solely responsible for its technical Environment, including, without limitation, its Internet connection, hardware, third-party software, and associated licenses. Any non-compliance within this Environment may lead to a degradation of the Services, for which the Provider cannot be held liable.

The Provider shall not be held liable for any performance issues, unavailability, or malfunctions resulting from services provided by third parties, including but not limited to telecommunications operators, external APIs, or the Client's third-party software or systems, including CRM platforms.

5. Client Declarations

The Client acknowledges that they are aware of the limitations of the Internet, assume responsibility for their own equipment, and accept that, despite the security measures implemented by the Provider, inherent risks associated with open networks may still exist.

6. Provision of Services

Subject to the completeness of the information required for commissioning provided by the Client and the full settlement of amounts due, the Provider shall grant access to the Services within an indicative timeframe of forty-eight (48) business hours from the acceptance of the Order Form.

Access credentials to the Services are strictly personal and confidential. The Client is solely responsible for their safeguarding, their use, and any use of the Services made using these credentials.

The Provider shall not be held liable for any interruption, delay, or inability to provide the Services resulting from a breach by the Client of its obligations or from the absence, inaccuracy, or delay in transmitting the required information.

7. Units and Associated Services

Ordered Units are firm, non-refundable, and non-deferrable. Their consumption is deducted from the start of the communication. Associated Services are provided in accordance with the Order Form and the pricing terms in force.

8. Scope of Rights Granted

The Client has a right of use strictly limited to its internal business needs. Any reproduction, resale, reverse engineering, copying, or access by unauthorized third parties is prohibited.

9. Availability and Support

The Provider shall use reasonable endeavors to ensure the accessibility and proper functioning of the Services twenty-four (24) hours a day, seven (7) days a week, subject to scheduled maintenance windows, system updates, technical incidents, and force majeure events.

No service level agreement (SLA) is guaranteed under these General Terms and Conditions of Sale. Any commitments regarding availability, recovery time objectives (RTO), or support shall be governed by a specific Service Level Agreement (SLA), expressly accepted by the parties and appended to the Purchase Order where applicable.

Standard support is included within the Services in accordance with the terms defined by the Provider. Premium or custom support tiers may be subject to additional charges and are defined in the applicable Service Level Agreement.

10. Intellectual Property

The Application and its components remain the exclusive property of the Provider and/or its licensors. The Client is granted only a right of use. Any infringement of these rights may result in the termination of the Agreement.

11. Financial Terms

This clause governs all billing and payment terms applicable to the Services provided by ViaDialog under the Agreement. It distinguishes implementation fees (BUILD) from recurring operational fees (RUN), and specifies the conditions regarding due dates, late payments, and suspension.

11.1 Billing of Implementation Fees (BUILD)

BUILD fees correspond to the costs of installation, configuration, and integration of the Services. They are billed according to the following schedule:

  • 50% upon signature of the Agreement;

  • 30% upon delivery of the acceptance testing environment by ViaDialog;

  • 20% on the actual go-live date (MEP) or, at the latest, within thirty (30) calendar days following the provision of the acceptance testing environment by ViaDialog.

11.2 Billing of Recurring Operational Fees (RUN)

RUN fees include monthly subscriptions and telecom consumption charges. Their billing is governed as follows:

Triggering of Billing: Billing for monthly subscriptions commences from the actual go-live date of the Services, as formalized by the signature of the acceptance report. In the absence of the signature of the acceptance report within the timeframe specified in the contractual schedule, and unless Article 11.3 below applies, billing shall begin no later than the month following the provision of the acceptance testing environment to the Client by ViaDialog.

Billing Cycle:

  • Monthly subscriptions: billed monthly at the end of month N for month N+1;

  • Telecom consumption: billed monthly at the end of month N for the elapsed month N.

11.3 Go-Live Postponement Attributable to the Client

In the event of a postponement of the go-live directly and exclusively attributable to the Client — notably due to a delay in providing required information, contractual validations, or the availability of resources necessary for project execution — billing for monthly subscriptions shall be triggered automatically on the go-live date originally scheduled in the contractual planning, without the need for a formal notice to the Client.

ViaDialog will notify the Client in writing upon identifying such a delay and its impact on the initiation of billing. In the event of a delay of mixed origin (jointly attributable to both parties), the parties agree to consult with each other to determine the applicable start date in good faith.

11.4 Payment Terms

Invoices issued by ViaDialog are payable by the Client within thirty (30) calendar days from their date of issue, via direct debit or any other payment method agreed upon in writing between the parties.

All sums paid under the Agreement are firm, final, and non-refundable, including in the event of early termination, unless expressly stated otherwise. No discount will be granted for early payment.

11.5 Late Payment Penalties and Recovery Costs

Any late payment shall automatically, without prior notice, from the day following the due date, incur:

  • late payment penalties calculated at three (3) times the statutory interest rate in force, applied to the gross amount (all taxes included) of the sums due;

  • a fixed recovery compensation fee of forty (40) euros per unpaid invoice, in accordance with Article L.441-10 of the French Commercial Code.

If the recovery costs actually incurred exceed this fixed amount, ViaDialog reserves the right to claim additional compensation upon submission of supporting documents.

11.6 Suspension and Termination for Non-Payment

In the event of a persistent failure to pay following a formal notice that remains unresolved for a period of fifteen (15) calendar days, ViaDialog reserves the right to:

  • suspend access to the Services, without prejudice to the outstanding sums due;

  • terminate the Agreement, without prejudice to any other action or remedy.

The suspension of the Services does not suspend the Client's payment obligations.

12. Warranties

The Supplier warrants that it possesses the necessary rights to provide the Services and that they comply with the Documentation within the specified Environment. The Supplier does not warrant that the Services will meet all of the Customer's specific requirements or that they will be free from errors.

13. Liability

The Supplier is bound by an obligation of best endeavors (obligation de moyens) in the performance of the Agreement.

The Supplier's liability may only be engaged in the event of proven fault and is strictly limited to direct and certain damages suffered by the Customer. In any event, the Supplier's total liability, for all causes combined, is expressly capped at the total amount, excluding taxes, actually paid by the Customer for the Services during the twelve (12) months preceding the occurrence of the event giving rise to the damage.

Indirect damages are expressly excluded from any liability, including but not limited to, loss of turnover, revenue, profits, customers, business interruption, loss of data, damage to brand image or reputation, as well as any indirect commercial or financial loss.

The Supplier shall under no circumstances be held liable in the event of misuse of the Services, non-compliance with the Documentation, breach by the Customer of its obligations, or malfunctions attributable to services, software, infrastructure, or networks provided by third parties.

The limitations and exclusions of liability provided for in this article apply to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

14. Confidentiality

All exchanged information remains confidential during the Term of the Agreement and for a period of 5 years following its termination.

15. Data and GDPR

The Client remains the owner of their data.

The Provider acts as a data processor (Art. 28 GDPR).

Data is hosted exclusively within the EU.

Upon termination of the Agreement, the Client may request the return of their data within 30 days, after which it will be deleted.

16. Term and Termination

The Agreement is entered into for the initial term specified in the Order Form and shall be tacitly renewed for successive one-year periods.

Termination options: upon 30 days' notice prior to the expiration date, in the event of an uncured breach within 30 days, or immediately in the event of persistent payment default.

17. Assignment and Subcontracting

The Client may not assign the Agreement without the Supplier's prior consent. The Supplier may subcontract or assign its rights and obligations upon notifying the Client.

18. Force Majeure

Neither Party shall be held liable in the event of an unforeseeable and unavoidable occurrence (such as natural disasters, national strikes, major network outages, government decisions, etc.).

19. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

The Agreement is governed by French law.

Any dispute shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Paris.
