The DIGITALEO solution is divided into different modules allowing its users to access the following functionalities:

  1. Direct Marketing: Creation of marketing campaigns to disseminate marketing offers, inform end customers and generate traffic at points of sale. These campaigns can be easily created using a library of email templates. Statistics are available for all created campaigns. The Data Rental offer allows the client to have access to databases that can be rented within the tool and on which he can carry out segmentation and counts.
  2. Access Manager: Creation of marketing campaign models made available to its network of distributors in order to guarantee consistency in communication and a homogeneous graphic charter between the different entities. The Marketing Manager option also allows the head office marketing department to have visibility over all the campaigns sent by the distributor network as well as their statistics.

For the provision of the Service (excluding the Provision), DIGITALEO:

  • Provide the CUSTOMER with a Platform or an Interconnection, and proceed with the pre-configuration of the Platform for the CUSTOMER’s needs,
  • Communicate to the CUSTOMER an Authentication Key or Identifiers specific to each User (which the CUSTOMER must use each time he/she accesses the Platform), for which the CUSTOMER will be solely responsible and for which he/she must ensure confidentiality. In any case, the CUSTOMER alone will bear the consequences that may result from the use of his Authentication Key and/or his Identifiers by any unauthorised person and undertakes in particular to pay all the Consumption resulting from their use.
  • Undertakes to offer one training session per User, up to a limit of two per year and per geographical site of the CLIENT, on-site or remotely, and to provide technical support.

DIGITALEO reserves the right to complete, extend, modify, interrupt or improve the services offered, in particular when such measures are likely to improve the technological or ergonomic standards of the services or are considered necessary to prevent abuse. Such modifications may lead to changes in the appearance of the Services offered. DIGITALEO will only proceed with such modifications if they are reasonable and acceptable to the CUSTOMER or if their execution is required by law.

In the case where the CUSTOMER accesses a test offer of a service, DIGITALEO reserves, if necessary, the right to block all the CUSTOMER’s access identifiers and to delete the CUSTOMER’s access to the service as well as all the data attached to it (creation of email, website…) and this, in the case of use not conforming to the object of the service by the CUSTOMER or of fraudulent use by the latter.

5. Recommendations

To deliver the Service in the best conditions, DIGITALEO recommends that campaigns involving large volumes of Consumption be carried out in accordance with the following procedures:

  • Sending messages at the beginning of the day, if possible before midday, to anticipate the necessary duration of the sending on the chosen day and thus avoid any delay in the execution of the Service;
  • Distribution of messages over time. If the CUSTOMER does not comply with this recommendation, DIGITALEO reserves the right to apply this distribution of shipments, particularly during periods of heavy traffic.

The thresholds of these volumes of Consumption are specified in the FAQ relating to the use of the Service concerned and included in the Documentation present on the Service Platform.

For the proper functioning of the online Service, DIGITALEO recommends following its recommendations specified in the FAQ relating to the use of the Service concerned, in particular concerning the recommended browsers.

The CUSTOMER has a storage space of 100MB within the platform allowing him to store any file necessary for the proper execution of his marketing operations or those of his network. The calculation of the storage volume for the CUSTOMER takes into account the following resources: images, voice files, contact details of sales outlet networks, PDF files to be stored (non-exhaustive list subject to change).

If this storage space is exceeded, DIGITALEO will inform the CUSTOMER. If the CUSTOMER fails to respond and delete certain content within 7 days, DIGITALEO reserves the right to delete certain content to guarantee the proper functioning of its Services without any prejudice being able to be claimed by the CUSTOMER from DIGITALEO. The initial storage volume can be extended by derogation in the Special Conditions.

6. Service provision

In addition to the Service offer, DIGITALEO offers various types of Services, in particular graphic creations, programming of Emails and SMS campaigns, training, and advice on marketing campaigns.

The different services are available from the sales department. The duration of these services is defined in the Particular Conditions which begin to run from the validation of the latter by DIGITALEO.

Any behaviour or action by the User leading to a delay or non-performance of the service cannot be attributed to DIGITALEO and will give the latter the right to terminate the contract to the detriment of the customer as provided for in article 17.

Depending on the service ordered, DIGITALEO will submit to the User elements showing the visual aspect of these, the action plans foreseen… within the limits foreseen at the time of the order. After acceptance by the User within the given time limit, any request for modification will be subject to additional invoicing.

DIGITALEO will send the CUSTOMER :

  • For Subscriptions to the Service, a monthly invoice including the Subscription due and the Consumption of the month due, the beginning of the invoicing starting on the date of delivery of the Identifiers or Authentication Key to the Service. In certain cases, DIGITALEO may grant the CUSTOMER an additional period for the delivery of the Service and in this case, the billing date will be that provided for in the specific conditions. For any sending of a long SMS, i.e. an SMS containing more than 160 characters, the CUSTOMER will be charged an additional unit for every 153 characters (a counter indicates the number of characters used when writing the message).
  • For data rental, particularly due to changes that may occur at any time in the life of the contacts, Digitalo’s responsibility is engaged beyond the following error rates and unless otherwise stipulated in the contract: Emails or SMS: 10% of erroneous email addresses (hard bounce) or SMS.

The rates for certain functionalities of the tool are detailed only in the DIGITALEO platform and not in the Special Conditions (rental of data for example…). In this case, the rates will be displayed unambiguously on the platform and the CUSTOMER will be asked to validate twice to indicate the additional billing for this type of service. Access to these features can be deactivated for the CLIENT’s users upon request by the CLIENT.

Invoices for Subscriptions to the Service are payable net within 15 (fifteen) days from the date of the invoice. Invoices for Services are payable net upon receipt.

Invoices are payable without discount, by SEPA Core Direct Debit within 15 (fifteen) days from the date of the invoice to the bank account domiciled in France and designated by the CLIENT. At the time of the conclusion of the contract, the CUSTOMER provides DIGITALEO with a duly signed SEPA direct debit mandate (to which DIGITALEO will attribute a Unique Mandate Reference, hereafter “UMR”) as well as a bank identity statement including its BIC and IBAN identifiers.

The CUSTOMER undertakes to fund his account to allow the execution of the direct debit on the fixed date. The parties expressly agree that the prior notification of each direct debit will be made by DIGITALEO by any means at its convenience within a minimum period of 5 (five) working days before the date of the direct debit. The CUSTOMER undertakes to communicate to DIGITALEO in writing, without delay, and in any case within 3 (three) days from the receipt of an invoice from DIGITALEO, any modification on the bank account debited (in particular in the case of a change in the name of the account or the bank establishment). Any request for revocation or modification of the perimeter of the SEPA direct debit mandate must be made to DIGITALEO by the CUSTOMER through a registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt which specifies, in particular, the UMR concerned as well as the name of the Contract(s) affected. If the CUSTOMER revokes his direct debit mandate without providing a new one that allows DIGITALEO to proceed with the direct debits, DIGITALEO reserves the right to terminate the Contract and/or to request cash payment by bank cheque.

Failure to pay on the due date will automatically and without prior notice lead to the invoicing of late interest equal to three times the legal interest rate. According to Article L. 441-6 of the French Commercial Code, a fixed indemnity of 40 Euros for collection costs shall be systematically added to the late payment penalties due. Any rejection of payment of an invoice issued by DIGITALEO within the framework of the Contract will lead to a fixed charge of 25 Euros excluding VAT, as well as the temporary suspension of access to the Service subscribed to until the payment(s) is (are) regularised.

The prices of the Service may be subject to annual revision. Such revision will be mentioned on the special conditions. The CLIENT will be informed of this price revision by email one calendar month at the latest before it comes into force. The CLIENT will then be free to terminate the Contract under the conditions set out in Article 17 paragraph 1 of these General Terms of Service.

For the evolution and maintenance of the Platform and/or the Services (significant evolution of the proposed functionalities, change of the economic model, emergence of a new product, change of suppliers/subcontractors, etc.), the Customer will be informed of the price revision by email one calendar month before it comes into force.

In the case of specific tariff conditions granted to the CUSTOMER due to its membership of a group, expressly referred to in the Special Terms and Conditions, the loss of membership of this group automatically entails the modification of the said tariff conditions. The new pricing conditions will be renegotiated between the parties.
