7.3.2             In the event of non-payment of all or part of the Fee within the contractual deadlines: (i) any unpaid amount will automatically generate daily late-payment interest, applicable until the date of full payment of the debt owed to THEGREENBOW in principal, interest, costs and accessories, at a rate equal to three (3) times the legal interest rate, without the need for any reminder and without prejudice to the damages and interest that THEGREENBOW reserves the right to seek in court; and (ii) a fixed indemnity for collection costs, the amount of which is defined in Art.

10.5.4             In the event of a civil judgment against THEGREENBOW pursuant to a full and final court decision in the substantive proceedings or in the event of a settlement entered into by THEGREENBOW, THEGREENBOW can, at its option and expense either (i) obtain, for the Client, the right to continue to use the Software without any increase in the Fee and without suspension of the Client’s use of the Software, possibly by modifying all or part of the Software so that it no longer infringes the rights of the third party or (ii) if the right to continue to use the Software cannot be obtained or if the Software cannot be replaced or modified at a reasonable cost to THEGREENBOW, notify the Client of the termination of the EULA and return to the Client all Fees paid in advance by the Client to THEGREENBOW from the date of the third-party claim (Art. 1229 of the Civil Code), notwithstanding the Client’s right to seek court-ordered compensation for all of its losses.

At the end of the legal limitation period in France, the personal data of the Employees that is necessary for the execution of the EULA will be deleted (Art. 17 of the GDPR) from the digital databases of the party that collected it.

13.1.6             Each Employee of a party has a right of access to (Art. 15 of the GDPR) and rectification of (Art. 16 of the GDPR) his or her personal data that is processed by the other party. Each party shall reply by email to each Employee of the other party within THIRTY (30) days of receipt of their request, if possible, by email. Should the Employee fail to receive a reply, he or she will be entitled to refer the matter to the CNIL in order to contest such failure to reply. It is the responsibility of each party to inform its Employees of the rights offered by the other party under the Personal Data Legislation.

13.1.7             Each commercial prospection mailing in electronic format by one party to the Employees of the other party shall include a clear and concise reminder of the existence of the right to object to prospecting and profiling (Art. 21 of the GDPR) and an active link to permanently unsubscribe.

14. EULA – Miscellaneous provisions

14.1.1             Neither party shall be liable for a failure to perform any of its contractual obligations due to the occurrence of a force majeure event, which is defined as an event (i) that is beyond the control of the party affected, (ii) that could not reasonably have been foreseen at the time of the conclusion of the EULA and (iii) the effects of which cannot be avoided by appropriate measures. The party affected by the force majeure event shall take appropriate measures to avoid, eliminate or reduce the causes of the delay and shall resume performance of its obligations as soon as the event invoked has ceased.

14.1.2             For the duration of the force majeure event, if the impediment is temporary (less than THIRTY (30) days), the force majeure event suspends the performance of the obligations of the party invoking it, unless the resulting delay justifies the termination of the EULA (except for the obligation to pay the contractual sums due at the date of occurrence of the force majeure event). If the impediment is definitive or for more than THIRTY (30) days, the EULA is terminated and the parties released from their obligations, subject to notification of such termination by the most diligent party.

14.2.1             The Client expressly authorizes THEGREENBOW to use the Client’s names/logos/brands, in strict compliance with the Client’s graphic charter (i) solely as a commercial reference (list of THEGREENBOW’s client references and public announcements on THEGREENBOW’s professional social networks) and (ii) without referring in any way to either the Software or the nature of the services provided to the Client.

14.3.1             The EULA cancels and replaces all previous oral or written agreements between the parties in relation to the same services. If any provision of the EULA is found to be invalid or null and void pursuant a full and final court decision in the substantive proceedings, the parties agree to attempt to limit the scope of such invalidity as much as possible so that the other contractual provisions remain applicable and the economic balance of the EULA is respected. In such situation, the parties undertake to renegotiate in good faith (Art. 1104 of the Civil Code) the drafting of a new clause to replace the clause that has been declared to be null and void.

14.4.1             The EULA cannot be wholly or partially transferred, whether free of charge or for payment, by a transferring party to a third-party transferee except with the prior written consent of the transferee.

14.5.1             Each party shall elect its registered office as its address for service. Any official notices (default notice, etc) that are required or necessary in application of the EULA shall be in writing and shall be deemed validly given if sent by registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt to the other party, the postmark being the proof of sending.

14.6.1            Any modification to the EULA may only be agreed to in a written amendment (an “Amendment“) executed by a duly authorized representative of each party. Consequently, in the absence of a signed Supplementary Agreement, any oral or written agreement between the parties relating to the EULA shall be deemed to be null and void.

14.7.1             The Client specifically accepts that the proof of its actions or inactions under the EULA is provided by the records from THEGREENBOW’s Information System (or any of its subcontractors), which are deemed to be reliable, established and kept in conditions that guarantee their integrity.

15. EULA – Applicable law and attribution of territorial jurisdiction

15.1.1             The EULA is governed by French law, both as to form and substance. IN DEFAULT OF ANY SETTLEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES OF ANY DISPUTE RELATING TO THE INTERPRETATION, PERFORMANCE OR TERMINATION OF THE CONTRACT and only in the event that the defendant is a trader within the meaning of Art. L.121-1 of the Commercial Code, JURISDICTION IS SPECIFICALLY ATTRIBUTED TO THE PARIS TRIBUNAL DE COMMERCE [COMMERCIAL COURT], EVEN FOR URGENT APPLICATIONS, except in the event of material or territorial jurisdiction from which it would not be possible to contractually derogate.
