SUBSCRIBER is required to provide information relating to his identity and the activity of his company, to choose the offer and the options among those proposed by PERFONY and to accept the present general subscription conditions.

After validation of the information provided by the subscriber, PERFONY will send him an e-mail confirming the reservation of the sub-domain which will be dedicated to him, as well as his login and password for access as administrator. The administrator can then create as many users as desired. Each registered user will receive by email his own login and password. This information is strictly personal, confidential and non-transferable. Each SUBSCRIBER is solely responsible for the use of his or her own credentials and those of the users of his or her subdomain.

The use of the “SERVICE” is free of charge, with no restriction on use during the first 15 days following the creation of the iPERFONY reserved area and with no time limit on the number of 3 (three) active FILES. Any FOLDER not deleted in the iPERFONY space, except for the “my TODO” folder and any sub-folders, is considered active.

The use, even free of charge, of an iPERFONY workspace implies acceptance of these conditions.

– Order form –

After this period of 15 (fifteen) days or after 3 (three) files have been created, SUBSCRIBER will be able to choose the commercial offer that best suits him/her directly from his/her iPerfony. In case of choice among the offers proposed online, the “SUBSCRIBER” will be able to pay for his subscription by credit card, automatically receiving the corresponding invoice.

In the event of payment by other means or of a particular commercial offer, “SUBSCRIBER” will receive a quotation which he will return signed with, if necessary, a purchase order of his organization allowing to engage a billing.

The commercial offer will include the cost, the terms of payment and the duration of the subscription (minimum 12 months) for the use of the “SERVICE”, as well as any other service or advice (support for configuration, training in the tool, specific developments) that the customer may require.

Upon receipt of the signed commercial offer and/or purchase order, if applicable, PERFONY shall issue an invoice which shall be transmitted by any means to SUBSCRIBER.

CHAPTER 2 – THE CONTRACT PERIOD

The subscription contract starts on the 1st of the month of the signature of the signed commercial offer and/or the purchase order if applicable and gives access to the “SERVICE” for 12 months, for the number of users provided for in the signed commercial offer and/or the purchase order if applicable.

The subscription fee is due at the end of the trial period or when the number of files allowing free use of the “SERVICE” is exceeded.

The access to the “SERVICE” is done by control of the identification of the user, on the basis of the information attributed by his administrator.

5 – Duration and renewal of the subscription contract

The subscription to a license giving access to the ” SERVICE ” is annual except in the case of the online offer “TEAM” and the invoiced sums are due on the 1st day once the trial period and/or the number of files allowing a free use of the ” SERVICE ” is over.

The renewal of the contract is done by tacit renewal at each period and is formalized by the sending of an invoice corresponding to the amount of the subscription for the period to come.

SUBSCRIBER may change his type of offer at any time, but the new package will only be taken into account on the subscription renewal date.

SUBSCRIBER may terminate his PERFONY contract at any time by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt, giving 30 (thirty) working days’ notice, but the sums due under the current annual subscription shall remain due.

6 – Obligations and responsibilities of Perfony

PERFONY undertakes to implement all the means allowing SUBSCRIBER and the users for whom a license is provided in the signed commercial offer and/or the purchase order if necessary, to benefit from a reliable and fast access to the “SERVICE”.

The subscription provides a maximum bandwidth of 1mbps and a storage capacity of 50GB per iPERFONY collaborative workspace. In case of overruns noted by PERFONY’s technical services, a specific service, subject to an additional contract, shall be set up between PERFONY and SUBSCRIBER within one month from the time PERFONY notes the overrun. Without an agreement between the parties, SUBSCRIBER will not receive additional storage space.

The information of the “SERVICE” is accessible 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, subject to accidental interruption or necessary for the proper functioning of the service.
