All rights are granted on condition that the Client pays all fees related to the use of the Products by the applicable due dates.
Each Product is standard, and it is the Client’s responsibility to ensure that the functionalities of the Products ordered meet its needs.
Bricklead undertakes to make the Products available in accordance with the Order Form. The provision of the Products and their updates constitutes delivery, independently of any installation or reception. The Products will be made available via download. End-users or their IT integrators are solely responsible for implementing the Products or their updates, unless they have recourse to a service provided by Bricklead and invoiced separately.
The license includes the right to access and use updates to the Products, consisting of corrections or improvements to the standard Products. These updates do not include rights to new modules developed by Bricklead or new versions of the Products.
The End-User is hereby informed and accepts that ongoing technological developments may lead Bricklead to provide the End-User updates to the Products, which may require updates to its hardware and software infrastructure, at the End-User’s expense and responsibility.
Bricklead provides application updates at a rate it deems appropriate to ensure the proper functioning of the Products. Bricklead will provide updates on the latest version of the Products until a new version is available.

(iv) backups of files and operating data (other than those inherent in the hosting of Products and related data for which Bricklead is responsible under the terms of the Contract).
Any analysis work performed by Bricklead in response to a client-reported application bug will be charged at Bricklead’s current rates if the issue arises from a cause unrelated to the Products.
Assistance and support services, excluding reproducible application bugs, will be the subject of an assistance contract between the Client and the Partner, who is solely authorized to handle complaints of the Client’s complaints.
The Partner shall provide the client with a duly completed order form for the Products and additional services, together with the signed EULA. The Partner is not authorized to amend the EULA, nor to enter into any other agreements that modify or add to the EULA, without Bricklead’s prior written consent. All purchase orders are subject to acceptance by Bricklead at its sole discretion.
The prices applied are those set out in the order form signed between the Partner and its Client and include the license for the use of the Products, software maintenance and updates of the Products, and hosting.

The End-User must report to the Partner in writing of any malfunction during the warranty period so that he may escalate the request to Bricklead. Bricklead undertakes to correct any reproducible material non-conformity of the Products so that it complies with the present warranty.
Bricklead does not warrant that the functions contained in the Products and third-party software will meet End-User requirements or that the operation of the Products will be error-free.
The warranty is also limited to the latest commercial version of the Products.
Any modification, including changes to the application code of the Products by a person other than Bricklead, avoids the previous warranty on any part of the Products that has been modified or affected by such modification.
Bricklead guarantees to the End-User the peaceful use of the rights granted on the Products. Bricklead declares to have granted, when required, all necessary rights and authorizations from third parties holding intellectual property rights on the licensed elements, allowing it to grant these intellectual property rights to the End-User.
Accordingly, Bricklead indemnifies the End-User from any action, claim, allegation, demand or opposition from any person claiming an intellectual property right, on all or part of the aforementioned elements delivered, used or more generally implemented as part of the Contract.
Bricklead undertakes, at its own expense and at its own discretion, to either:
14.1. Bricklead undertakes to take all possible care in the performance of its obligations, considering the state of the art in use in its profession, and is subject to an obligation of means. Bricklead shall only be liable for direct and foreseeable damage resulting from a proven breach of its contractual obligations. Bricklead shall in no event be liable for any consequential and/or indirect damages. Any damage suffered by a third party is indirect damage and does not give rise to compensation. In particular, Bricklead shall not be liable for operating or production loss, loss of profit, consequential loss or otherwise, commercial loss, loss of data, or damage caused by downloads.
14.2. Each Party assumes responsibility for the consequences resulting from its own faults, errors or omissions, as well as from the faults, errors or omissions of any subcontractors causing direct damage to the other Party.
14.3. In the event that Bricklead’s liability is proven and upheld on any grounds whatsoever, the maximum cumulative compensation to which the Client may be entitled for all damages suffered will be limited to the amount paid under the contract during the last twelve months.
In general, if the Client fails to invoke Bricklead’s contractual liability within one year of the occurrence of the damage, the Client will be deemed to have waived his right to invoke the contractual breach and his action against Bricklead will be definitively barred.
Neither party may be held liable for any breach of its contractual obligations in the event that it is prevented from performing its obligations as a result of force majeure as defined in article 1218 of the French Civil Code and understood by French case law.
14.4. Neither Party shall be liable for any breach of its obligations under the Agreement, if such breach results from:
The Party observing the event must immediately inform the other Party of its inability to perform. The suspension of obligations or delay shall in no case be a cause of liability for non-performance of the obligation in question, nor lead to the payment of damages or penalties for delay.
The initial term of the contract is specified in the purchase order signed between the Partner and the Client, End-User.
The contract may subsequently be renewed at the end of the initial period, for a duration identical to the initial period, unless terminated by one of the Parties by written notification with acknowledgement of receipt, giving three months’ notice.
16.1. This Agreement may be terminated by Bricklead or the Partner at any time by written notice to the End-User in the event of the End-User’s breach of any of its obligations under the Agreement, provided that such breach has not been remedied within thirty (30) days of written notice from Bricklead and/or the Partner.
16.2. In the event of interruption by the End-User of the performance of the present Contract, without Bricklead being held responsible for this situation, the End-User undertakes to pay Bricklead the total amount of the subscription due until the end of the term provided for in the “Term” article of the present Contract.
16.3. This Agreement may be terminated by the End-User by written notice to Bricklead in the event of breach of its contractual obligations, provided that such breach has not been remedied within thirty (30) days of the End-User’s written notice.
At its request and expense, Bricklead may audit, or have audited by a Partner or a third party, the use of the Products by the Client and its Subsidiaries. Such an audit must be carried out during normal working hours at the Client’s and/or its Subsidiaries’ premises or online and must not unreasonably interfere with the Client’s activities. If an audit reveals that the Client has under-declared the actual use of the Products, subject to remedies at common law, the Client will be invoiced the unpaid fees plus a penalty of 15%. Bricklead is authorized to include and/or activate in its Products usage tracers that enable compliance with this Agreement to be verified about the use of the license.
The Parties undertake to keep strictly confidential all information concerning the other Party to which they may have access in the course of the Contract, and more particularly any element, material or immaterial, deliverable, know-how, code, document, of any nature, scientific, technical, industrial, IT, commercial, strategic or other, obtained in the course of the Contract and which is not in the public domain. The purpose of the Contract, as well as the terms and conditions of its execution and remuneration, also constitute confidential information.
The Client undertakes to take all necessary measures to ensure that the studies supplied, and tools made available to it under the Contract, in particular software, specifications, databases, algorithms and their documentation, are not disclosed to third parties or used for any purpose other than the performance of the Contract.
The obligation of confidentiality set out in the present article applies throughout the duration of the Contract, and for a period of 5 years following its termination. At the end of the Contract, the sending Party’s confidential information must be returned to it on request or destroyed.
The Client is responsible for the proper execution of this confidentiality obligation by its employees, managers, staff, subsidiaries, and subcontractors.
The Client may not assign or transfer its rights or obligations under this Agreement to any third party, including any group of companies, parent companies and affiliates of the Client, without the written consent of Bricklead, which may impose financial consequences on such assignment or transfer of the Client’s rights and obligations. Any attempt by the Client to assign or transfer this Agreement in violation of the foregoing shall be null and void.
Bricklead declares that it is insured for professional civil liability with a reputable and solvent company for all material damage resulting from the performance of the Contract by its staff or collaborators. At the Client’s request, a certificate of insurance specifying the purpose of the cover may be provided.
The Client accepts that Bricklead may, freely and without prior formality, subcontract all or part of its obligations hereunder, under its responsibility. In the event of subcontracting, Bricklead shall be solely liable for compliance with its obligations under the Contract. In any event, the Client hereby accepts that, depending on the items ordered, services may be subcontracted to companies in the group to which Bricklead belongs (DIMOOD GROUP).
The Client authorizes Bricklead to quote its name and/or use its logo in its commercial references, on any document or medium, in any publication and/or press release.
The Client agrees that Bricklead may publish on its website a written and video testimonial after 3 months of using the solution.
Only French law is applicable to the Contract and to the relations between the Parties.
In case of dispute, the Client is requested to contact the management of Bricklead before any other proceeding, in order to seek an amicable solution. Otherwise, the Parties may refer the matter to the competent court within thirty (30) days. To this end, they expressly grant jurisdiction to the Commercial Court of Paris, even in the event of summary proceedings, warranty claims, incidental claims or multiple defendants.
For international contracts, they assign jurisdiction to the International Chamber of the Commercial Court of Paris.
