GENERAL PARTNERSHIP CONDITIONS FOR THE PROVISION OF THE PARTOO DATABASE TO THE PARTNER

Preamble

Partoo.fr is a website owned and operated by Partoo SAS, a company with a capital of 13,500 euros, having its registered office at 190 rue Championnet, in Paris (75018), registered with the Paris Trade and Companies Register, under number 803425404. It is available at http://www.partoo.fr.

Partoo offers its customers an improvement in their presence on the Internet and a simple solution for distributing their content on the web.

As part of this offer, Partoo references its customers on Partner sites and platforms.

In this respect, these General Terms and Conditions of Sale (GTC) govern the relationships between the partoo.fr website and the company Partoo (named “Partoo”) and its partners who will display the data provided by Partoo (individually named “The Partner”)

Hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Parties”.

THE FOLLOWING IS HEREBY AGREED:

Partoo is a company that assists professionals, including entrepreneurs, businesses, administrations of all types, in terms of advertising and communication, and thus contributes to optimizing their presence on the Internet (hereinafter referred to as “Activities”). Thus, by using Partoo, these professionals will no longer need to take multiple steps to update their information on the various websites and platforms that reference them since they will only need to manage their data through Partoo so that it is instantly broadcasted on all Partoo partner sites and platforms.

For its part, the Partner offers information services and publishes content based on the local search for professionals.

In this context, Partoo contacted the Partner in order to define the conditions for the provision and integration of its information database.

The Partner declared an interest in Partoo’s data allowing it to ensure the enrichment of its editorial content and the updating of the professional information at its disposal, which would be obsolete or incomplete.

The parties have therefore come closer together. Acceptance of Partoo data by the Partner, regardless of the form of this acceptance (Excel file, API, etc.) constitutes acceptance of these general conditions of sale.

THE PARTIES CAME TOGETHER AND AGREED ON THE FOLLOWING:

Partoo guarantees, as part of an obligation of means, to make every effort to ensure that the Partoo Database made available to the Partner through the API is continuously available. If the mode of operation chosen is the Excel file, then Partoo agrees to make this file available to the Partner at least once a month if the Partoo database has been modified. In the event of a technical problem, Partoo will make its best efforts to carry out the necessary repairs as soon as possible.

2.2 Data Update by Partoo

2.3 Partoo commitments

Partoo agrees to provide the Partner with its “Basic Data” in the format described in Appendix 1.

Partoo cannot guarantee that the Data extracted from its Database and provided to the Partner under this contract are free from errors or inaccurate references. However, Partoo declares and guarantees that Data relating to Partoo Customers are subject to regular checks and updates in order to ensure their reliability and accuracy.

Partoo guarantees the Partner peaceful enjoyment of Partoo Customer Data.

When these professionals exercise their rights, Partoo agrees to transmit the complaint to the Partner without delay.

2.4 Update of the Partoo Service

Partoo agrees to notify the Partner, by email, with a minimum notice of (one) 1 month before the entry into force of any modification of the terms of supply of the API (or the Excel file) that affects the structure or the provision of the Partoo Data, and to communicate these changes, so that the Partner can integrate them into the Partner Services and test them.

2.5 Change of purpose and/or editorial line of Partoo Activities

Partoo agrees to inform the Partner in advance and in writing of any change in the subject and/or editorial line of its Activities, the Partner then reserving the right to terminate these general conditions of sale, at any time, ipso jure, without notice and without judicial formality, by sending a notification by registered mail with acknowledgement of receipt with immediate effect.

3.1 Publication of Partoo Data in Partner Services

The Partner agrees, as part of an obligation to achieve results, to include in its Services, at least, all the fields provided by Partoo, insofar as these are available on the Partner’s public interface (listings that can be consulted by Internet users) and as part of the free publication (the free publication corresponds to information that a company could have distributed free of charge on the Partner’s platform), corresponding to the information recorded on the Partoo Database relating to Partoo customers.

The Partner agrees to make its best efforts to integrate into its Services more advanced content available on the Partoo database, such as special messages (for example, exceptional hours), news, promotional codes, menus, services, prices, price lists, photographs, product catalogs, etc.

The information recorded on the Partoo Database is likely to change over time and its integration by the Partner will contribute to enriching the quality of the data made available to its users. The Partner will make the necessary changes in its Services as soon as possible. These deadlines must be compatible with the constraints for updating each Service.

The Partner guarantees, as part of a best effort obligation, the updating of data relating to Partoo Customers within the shortest possible time from the API updates (ideally almost instantaneous), but cannot guarantee that these updates are free of errors or inaccurate references. If the chosen operation is based on the transmission of Excel files, then the Partner agrees, as part of an obligation of means, to respect an update period of less than 2 weeks from the transmission of the file to the Partner.

The Partner guarantees, within the framework of an obligation to achieve results, the immediate updating of the data relating to professionals referenced on the Partoo Database in the event that the professionals whose data appear in the Partoo Database exercise their rights of access, modification and deletion in accordance with the Data Protection Act.

The Partner agrees, as part of an obligation to achieve results, to transmit Partoo Customer Data updates to the Partner services.

If the Partner has in its possession other statistics such as the average time spent per page, the number of clicks on the website, the number of telephone calls, the number of itineraries consulted, the type of search leading to the display of the listing, the number of impressions of the listing, the Partner agrees to make its best efforts to share this type of information with Partoo.

The Partner may index the data provided by Partoo within the limits of the basic data, namely the name of the company, the category of activity, its address, its telephone, its fax, its website, its GPS coordinates and its schedules.

3.2 Promotion of Partoo

The Party breaching its obligations for one of the causes mentioned in this article must notify the other within eight (8) days of the occurrence of the event, by registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt.

The execution of these general conditions of sale is then suspended upon the occurrence of the event in question until the expiration of said event, expiration notified under the same conditions as its occurrence.

If the event persists after a period of sixty (60) days from the notification of its occurrence, each of the Parties may automatically and without any formality terminate these general conditions of sale by registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt, unless the Parties, after consulting each other, agree to modify this agreement to adapt it to the circumstances resulting from force majeure.
