EQUISAFE may, without being liable to pay any compensation, make any changes or improvements to the EQUISAFE Platform and Services that it deems useful or necessary in order to ensure the continuity, development and security of its services.
The EQUISAFE Platform and the Restricted Access Information and/or Services may also, without any right to compensation against EQUISAFE, be limited or extended at any time by EQUISAFE (either individually or collectively to all Users).
3. PRESENTATION OF THE EQUISAFE PLATFORM
The EQUISAFE Platform is accessible via the Internet. Each User has a personal, non-exclusive and non-transferable right to access the EQUISAFE Platform and to access, consult Information and/or use Services via his User Space.
The User is informed and acknowledges that, under these Terms and Conditions, EQUISAFE does not provide any investment service within the meaning of MiFID 2 and, more generally, does not provide any regulated activity of a banking and financial nature.
4. TERMS OF ACCESS TO THE PLATFORM
4.1 Creation of The User Space
In addition to offering Information and functionalities with unrestricted access, the EQUISAFE Platform offers the User the possibility of creating a User Space to benefit from Information and/or Services with restricted access. The User creates his own online User Space by establishing:
(i) his identifier, by providing his email address,
(ii) his password, which must meet minimum security requirements,
(iii) his phone number, in order to comply with two-factor authentication.
The User must then pass a KYC by providing the requested documents.
The User will have access to all the functionalities offered by the EQUISAFE Platform once the KYC has been completed and validated by EQUISAFE.
Any breach by the User of these GCU may result in the closure of the User Space.
EQUISAFE reserves the right to check User Spaces at any time to verify the proper use of the EQUISAFE Platform by Users, including compliance with these GCU.
4.2 Access to the Platform
To connect to the EQUISAFE platform, the User must provide:
(i) the email address of his account;
(ii) the password he has set;
(iii) the code received on his phone to ensure double authentication (2FA).
4.3 User Login
Access to the Services is subject to confidentiality and security measures implemented by EQUISAFE. Each User defines his or her own password and will be the only one to know it, the password being encrypted in base.
The access codes created by the User are personal, confidential and non-transferable. The use of the identification elements constituted by the combination of the identifier and the password created by the User is placed under the sole responsibility of the latter. Consequently, each User acknowledges, guarantees and assures that the identifiers that have been defined will not be divulged to any other person and undertakes to keep them with care and diligence under his entire responsibility.
Each User will be responsible, on his or her own behalf, for any action carried out by him or her via his or her User Space within the framework of the Services. All actions carried out on the EQUISAFE Platform via its User Space shall be irrefutably deemed to have been carried out with the consent of the User to whom these identifiers and this User Space belong.
4.4 Security
The User undertakes to report immediately to the RM any unauthorized use of his User Space, or any breach of the security or confidentiality rules concerning access to the EQUISAFE Platform and/or use of the Services.
The User Space may be closed or suspended at any time if EQUISAFE has good reason to believe that the said User Space is being or has been misused or has been used by an unauthorized user. The reopening or reactivation of a User Space shall be at the sole discretion of RM.
EQUISAFE informs the User that it uses security software for authentication and encryption of access codes. Given the nature of the Internet network, the User acknowledges and accepts that EQUISAFE cannot be held responsible for interruptions, failures or alterations to access to the Services, which may result from the network itself, the means of connection used, or any other external cause. EQUISAFE’s obligation to ensure the security of the EQUISAFE Platform and the confidentiality of information exchanged and/or stored is in any event an obligation of means and EQUISAFE cannot guarantee absolute security.
4.5 Failure and Unavailability
The User is informed and acknowledges that no one can guarantee the proper functioning of the Internet network and/or the DEEP as a whole and that some connection losses may be due to the failure of certain technical intermediaries.
Thus, the software used to carry out the Services is a complex area of computer technology and, in the current state of knowledge, cannot be materially subject to tests or experiments covering all the possibilities of use.
The User is informed and thus acknowledges that he bears the risks of imperfection or unavailability of the Services.
The User acknowledges and accepts that the EQUISAFE Platform may, if necessary, be subject to malfunctions or interruptions due to technical or other constraints.
As the EQUISAFE Platform is managed by a service provider, EQUISAFE provides no guarantee against temporary failures, technical errors or other interruptions preventing the User from accessing the EQUISAFE Platform.
As soon as the User notices the unavailability or malfunction of the EQUISAFE Platform characterized by an impossibility for the User to transmit Instructions to EQUISAFE, the User may always transmit Instructions to EQUISAFE by any other means agreed with EQUISAFE and in accordance with the terms and conditions set out in EQUISAFE’s GCU.
In any event, EQUISAFE shall not be required to replace the defective EQUISAFE Platform with an equivalent platform.
4.6 Minimum System Requirements
The User undertakes to access the EQUISAFE Platform and to use the Services in accordance with any directives or procedures that may be defined and their successive modifications.
The current minimum browser and software requirements consist of a screen resolution of 1280 x 720 and the following browser versions:

EQUISAFE gives no guarantee as to the use or proper execution of the Services with any browser or browser version whatsoever.
5. TERMINATION
EQUISAFE and the User may each automatically terminate the present agreement by simple registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt to the other Party. Unless otherwise agreed between EQUISAFE and the User, the termination shall take effect thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of the said registered letter, without compensation or damages on either side as a result of such termination.
Notwithstanding the above paragraph, in the event of a substantial contractual breach, or gross or intentional fault committed by EQUISAFE or the User, the other Party may automatically terminate these GCU, without prejudice to any damages that may be awarded to it as a result of the termination, fifteen (15) calendar days after a reasoned formal notice has remained unsuccessful. The said formal notice must be sent to the other Party by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt. Termination shall take effect upon receipt by the defaulting Party of a second registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt attesting to the willingness to terminate these GCU.
Furthermore, the GCU shall terminate automatically, and without any indemnity or damages on either side as a result of such termination, in the following cases and at the initiative of the User and/or EQUISAFE : i) in the event of modification(s) to the Regulations Applicable in France that would no longer allow EQUISAFE to provide one or more Services to the User or would no longer allow a Party to consider that it is acting, under the GCU, in accordance with the regulations applicable to it in France; or ii) if a case of force majeure within the meaning of French law persists for more than thirty (30) calendar days and does not allow one of the Parties to resume performance of its contractual obligations. In these cases, the termination will take immediate effect upon receipt by the other Party of a registered letter with a reasoned acknowledgement of receipt. In the event of the occurrence of a case of force majeure, the Party availing itself of it undertakes to inform the other Party as soon as possible from the day on which it becomes aware of it.
In the event of resolution of the GCU by one of the Parties, EQUISAFE undertakes to negotiate in good faith and to implement, with the Participant(s) concerned, a reversibility plan that may not exceed six (6) months from the date of dispatch of the notification. The obligations of the Parties shall remain in force until the end of the reversibility plan.
In the month following the termination of the GCU, EQUISAFE undertakes to return to the User all data processed on its behalf and in its possession, under the conditions provided for in the reversibility plan.
6. EQUISAFE RESPONSIBILITY
EQUISAFE will make every effort to ensure access to Information and/or Services under the conditions mentioned in these GCU.
However, the User accepts that the Services may, for various reasons (maintenance, unavailability of the telecommunications network, etc.), be temporarily unavailable in whole or in part.
The User acknowledges that EQUISAFE cannot be held liable for this unavailability, for whatever reason. EQUISAFE thus assumes no responsibility for the transport of information and interruptions to the Services due to fortuitous events or force majeure or malfunction and/or saturation of the telephone operator’s network or failure of the Customer’s Internet service provider. It is unrelated to any dispute that may arise between the User and his telephone operator or Internet service provider.
Furthermore, it is up to the User to ensure the security of his remote communication systems. In this respect, the User releases EQUISAFE from all consequences that may result from the use of the means of communication at its disposal, in particular from a technical failure of its equipment, an error, insufficiency or imprecision in the instructions transmitted to EQUISAFE or from the use by an unauthorized third party of its personal identifiers. Consequently, if EQUISAFE blocks a message because it contains a virus, the User acknowledges that EQUISAFE cannot be held liable for any damage that may occur in the event of failure to take into account and/or process an Instruction transmitted by the User.
7. USER RESPONSIBILITY
The User is solely responsible for any direct or indirect, material or immaterial damage caused to EQUISAFE and/or its Partners as a result of access, consultation and use of the Information and/or Services of the EQUISAFE Platform.
The User declares that he/she accepts the characteristics and limitations of the Internet and mobile Internet, and in particular acknowledges that:

The User shall bear all the consequences that may result from their voluntary or involuntary disclosure. The User is solely responsible in the event of malfunction of his equipment, misuse or any other external circumstance affecting the receipt of alerts or their content.
The User remains entirely responsible for the management of his User Space, notwithstanding any possible failure of the User Space which can in no way be opposed to EQUISAFE to allow the User to be released from his responsibility.
8. DISCLAIMER

- EQUISAFE shall not be held liable for any loss or damage arising directly or indirectly from the impossibility of accessing the EQUISAFE Platform, loss of data, damage or viruses that may affect the User’s computer equipment and/or the presence of a virus on the EQUISAFE Platform.
9. FORCE MAJEURE AND UNFORCEEN CIRCUMSTANCES
