Terms & Conditions

These general terms and conditions of sale apply to all sales made by BUSINESSCOOT.

These general terms and conditions of sale are expressly approved and accepted by the Customer, who declares and acknowledges full knowledge thereof.

Consequently, the fact of placing an order for one or more products with BUSINESSCOOT implies the Customer's full and unreserved acceptance of these general conditions of sale, representing all the stipulations applicable to sales concluded by BUSINESSCOOT, to the exclusion of all other documents such as prospectuses, catalogs, issued by BUSINESSCOOT, and which only have an indicative value.

Any contrary condition opposed by the Customer will therefore be, in the absence of express acceptance, unenforceable BUSINESSCOOT.

The fact that BUSINESSCOOT does not take advantage of any of the clauses of these general conditions of sale, cannot be interpreted as a waiver to take advantage of any of these conditions at a later date.

BUSINESSCOOT reserves the right to exclude from the www.businesscoot.com site any User who fails to comply with the GTCS, regardless of the breach. This right of exclusion is not exclusive of the Company's right to take legal action against offenders.

The GCS may be modified by the Company at any time and without prior notice. In such a case, the Company undertakes to publish a notice mentioning the existence of modifications for a period of one month from the date of publication of the new GCS.

To be valid, the order of an On-Demand Sector Sheet must be confirmed by BUSINESSCOOT. Once confirmed, the Customer pays for the On-Demand Sectorial File on the site.

Delivery time: Reports are provided within the working days indicated on the web page of the study ordered from the payment of the order.

BUSINESSCOOT undertakes to supply the Customer with the sector sheet ordered within 7 days of payment of the order. However, this deadline is given as an indication. In the event of delay, BUSINESSCOOT undertakes to inform the customer as soon as possible. The customer will have 24 hours to accept the new deadline or request cancellation of the order. In the event of the customer's absence following the proposal of a new deadline, BUSINESSCOOT will consider the order as cancelled and will proceed to reimburse it. Exceeding deadlines cannot give rise to damages, deductions or cancellation of orders in progress.

Delivery terms

The Report will be deemed delivered as soon as the Customer has received his Login and password to access his Customer Area or an e-mail with a link to the Report ordered.

Disputes

The Customer has a period of 7 clear days from the date of receipt of the Report to make any claims relating to a lack of conformity between the content of the Report and the stipulations of the order form.

Complaints must be sent to BUSINESSCOOT by e-mail to the following address: [email protected].

After this deadline, no claim can be taken into account.

In the event that the complaint proves to be justified, BUSINESSCOOT will provide the Customer, at no additional cost, with a new Report in accordance with the Customer's request or will reimburse the Customer.

The provision to the Customer of a Report or the consultation of a Sector Sheet does not confer any intellectual property rights whatsoever to the Customer. BUSINESSCOOT and the Publishers remain the exclusive owners of all copyrights attached to the Reports and Sector Sheets delivered to the Customer, and consequently reserve the right to market each of the Reports and Sector Sheets of which they are the authors to any other Customer who so requests.

As the customer holds no intellectual property rights to the reports ordered, he may only :

Users undertake to reserve the rights they derive from use of the Site for strictly private use, for their own needs. In particular, they agree not to reproduce, publish, circulate, store, distribute, duplicate or resell any information obtained from the Site. Any behaviour to the contrary will expose them to legal action.

No reproduction, even partial, other than that provided for in article L.122-5 of the French Intellectual Property Code, may be made of this Site without the prior and express authorization of the Company.

The content of the Site is protected by national and international copyright laws and regulations.

Reports are paid for by credit card, paypal, cheque or bank transfer on the www.businesscoot.com website, and an invoice is issued.

Late payment

Any delay in payment will give rise to the application of late payment penalties, without prior formal notice, at the rate of 3 times the legal interest rate.

The Customer shall also bear all costs incurred by BUSINESSCOOT in recovering unpaid sums.

In addition, any formal notice to pay that has not been served within 48 hours of the first presentation of the formal notice letter will also give rise to the payment of an indemnity, by way of penalty clause, of a sum equal to 15% of the sums remaining due, independently of late payment penalties and the reimbursement of costs incurred for the recovery of the debt.

In all cases, in the event of non-payment on the due date, even partial, BUSINESSCOOT may suspend all orders in progress, and claim immediate payment of all sums owed by the Customer.

The Reports are strictly personal to the Customer and may only be used by the Customer. Under no circumstances may the Customer transfer or distribute the Reports and/or their contents on any medium or in any manner whatsoever.

The Sector Sheets contain links to sources and information on the Internet relating to a given sector.

BUSINESSCOOT is in no way responsible for the content of the links to which each Sector Fact Sheet refers.

Similarly, the provision of a Sector Sheet does not confer on the Customer any intellectual property rights whatsoever in respect of the content of the links to which each Sector Sheet refers.

Access to these links is therefore intended for strictly private, non-copyable use, and is limited to the Customer's own internal use. If necessary, the customer is responsible for obtaining the necessary authorizations to distribute or reproduce the content of said links.

In general, any redistribution of the information contained in the Sector Sheets for strictly private use is the responsibility of the Customer, who must ensure that the necessary security measures are in place for its personnel. Likewise, BUSINESSCOOT cannot be held responsible for any fraudulent or misappropriate use of the information contained in the Sector Sheets.

The Sector Sheets are intended for information purposes only. BUSINESSCOOT strives to provide information that is as relevant as possible. However, BUSINESSCOOT is only bound by an obligation of means, and any omissions in the selection of data reproduced in each Sector Sheet may not be considered as a breach by BUSINESSCOOT of its obligations and BUSINESSCOOT may not be held liable in this respect.

In general, no warranty of any kind whatsoever is given by BUSINESSCOOT concerning the condition, appropriateness, availability, accuracy, reliability and/or non-infringement of the information contained in the Sector Sheets.

The Customer releases BUSINESSCOOT from all liability and indemnifies BUSINESSCOOT against all judgments that may be pronounced as a result of the use of the Sector Sheets. These exclusions of liability apply to any direct or indirect loss resulting from the use of the Sector Sheets.
