8.1.1. Comparison with the list of opposition to telephone canvassing of contact data located in France

Obligation to confront: Unless the Client undertakes to have the Bloctel Processing carried out, Euroleads undertakes to provide a file that has been confronted with the list of opposition to telephone canvassing before delivery to the Client. In accordance with the provisions of the Consumer Code, the Client is informed of its obligation to confront the list of opposition to telephone canvassing before any commercial prospecting operation by telephone, subject to the exceptions recognised by the texts and the administrative and judicial authorities. The Client declares that he has read the above information and undertakes to act in accordance with the regulations in force concerning telephone canvassing.

Exception to the obligation to confront: Euroleads may provide the Client with a Consumer Data file including Telephone Data that does not require a comparison with the list of opposition to telephone canvassing if (1) a contractual relationship pre-exists between the Client and the Consumer; (2) the purpose of the prospecting is the supply of newspapers, periodicals or magazines; (3) the Client does not carry out any prospecting operation for consumers; (4) the Client is a survey institute or an association or a public service and the subject of the call does not concern the sale of a good or the provision of a service; (5) the consumer wishes to be contacted by the Customer and the call is made within 3 months of the consumer’s request for the product or service concerned.
In this case, the use of exceptions to the obligation to confront is indicated at the time of the order by the Client. It is specified that these exceptions are without prejudice to any interpretation to the contrary by the administrative and judicial authorities. Therefore, under no circumstances can Euroleads be held liable for not being confronted with the list opposing telephone canvassing. For all the above-mentioned cases, the Client is reminded that he must be able to justify to the authorities the use of one of the exceptions to the obligation to compare the Bloctel list.

8.1.2. Compliance with the regulations relating to the telephone canvassing of contact data located in France

In accordance with the Naegelen Law No. 2020-901 of July 24, 2020 and Decree No. 2022-1313 of October 13, 2022 on the regulation of the days, times and frequency of telephone calls for the purposes of unsolicited commercial prospecting, the telephone canvassing carried out by the Client to consumers must comply with the following rules:

  • prohibited on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays;
  • a maximum of four times per month (30 calendar days) per professional (and not per transaction) or person acting on his behalf.

This framework applies both to people who are not registered on the Bloctel telephone canvassing opposition list and to those who are registered, but who are solicited under a current contract.
If the consumer refuses this canvassing during the conversation, he or she may not be contacted again before the expiry of a period of sixty calendar days from the date of this refusal. On the other hand, if the consumer has given his prior consent to be called, he may be solicited outside these days and time slots.

8.1.3. Quality – choice of databases

Euroleads takes great care to meet the qualities of use in the direct communication profession. However, Euroleads cannot guarantee that the Data is free of errors, outdated or inaccurate references.

Any complaint must be notified to Euroleads by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt within thirty (30) days of the date of the commercial prospecting operation. After this period, the Client is irrefutably presumed to have waived the right to request a refund for the said addresses.

8.1.5. Deduplication, Customization, and Routing – Security

The Data made available by Euroleads must be delivered to a routing company or IT services company recognized by the Profession and presenting the status of Trusted Third Party.

In this case, Euroleads cannot be responsible for the security of the Data ;(2) the Data made available to the Client’s trusted third party is made available by Euroleads, within the framework of contracts with the partners. In this case, Euroleads assumes full responsibility for the security of electronic transfers (the Data must be delivered in encrypted form, by email, with a password provided by another channel, or SFTP servers).

The Parties have agreed to provide a framework for this processing of personal data within an “Agreement on the Protection of Personal Data” (Annex 1).

 

10. PRICES AND PAYMENT TERMS

Any order validated implies the Client’s full agreement to its payment. Any cancellation of an order occurring after the delivery of the Databases implies the invoicing of all services.
Prices are set in the Quotation on the basis of the rates in force on the day the Quotation is issued, excluding taxes and delivery costs. The related taxes are those in force on the day of the order. Any first order from a Client will give rise to a cash payment at the time of the order. Euroleads’ invoices are payable thirty (30) days from the date of confirmation of the order. However, depending on the nature and importance of the work, a deposit of 30% may be requested at the time of ordering. Invoices are payable by bank transfer to Euroleads.

In the event of a delay in the payment of invoices, and without prior formal notice, the rate of late payment penalties payable on the day following the date of payment of the invoices is equal to the rate of the European Central Bank increased by 10 points. Pursuant to Article L441-10 and Article D441-5 of the French Commercial Code, any delay in the payment of invoices also makes the debtor liable for a lump sum compensation for recovery costs in the amount of forty (40) euros in addition to the above-mentioned late penalties and cannot exclude a claim for judicial compensation. In the event of a dispute, only the Commercial Court of Paris has jurisdiction and only French law is applicable.

Euroleads reserves the right to modify the prices in force subject to informing the Client by giving thirty (30) days’ notice. In the absence of opposition from the Client during this period, the new price list is irrevocably deemed to have been accepted. The pricing is established taking into account the economic conditions as well as the legal and regulatory provisions in force at the time the Estimate is signed.
All Services (excluding purchases) are indexed annually according to the evolution of the french Syntec index, which is as follows:

  • P1: Revised price
  • P0: Original contract price
  • S0: SYNTEC reference index used on the original contractual date
  • S1: Last index published on the revision date

In the absence of agreement between the Parties on the Prize, the T&Cs will be terminated by operation of law by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt sent by the most diligent Party. This termination does not give rise to the right to compensation.

 

11. MESSAGE

A sample of the message to be sent must accompany each request for the provision of Data. The Client is solely responsible for the writing of his message, or telephone script. He undertakes to write his message in compliance with the legislative obligations in force, and in particular the GDPR. In the context of Direct Marketing operations, the Client assumes full responsibility for the content and channels chosen (telephone, paper, email, SMS). Under no circumstances can Euroleads be held liable in connection with the content and use of a channel. The Client shall refrain from sending messages (1) that are contrary to public order and morality or (2) likely to harm the image of the Partner or Euroleads or (3) that do not comply with the laws and regulations in force regarding content and prior consent.
The Customer assumes full responsibility for the use of addresses and messages. This is the case both for the informational content and for the conditions of form and addressing.

 

12. LIABILITY

Euroleads will devote the time and effort necessary to the preparation and execution of its Services and will bring to the execution of its mission all the diligence required to safeguard the interests entrusted to it.
The Client is solely responsible for the consequences and/or claims made by third parties following the use of the Data in the context of the Processing of Personal Data, regardless of the reason. In particular, the Client is solely responsible for breaches of the legislation in force relating to the Processing of Personal Data, information technology, freedoms, direct marketing and messages. In any event, the Service Provider’s liability towards the Client is limited to compliance with the obligations set out in these General Terms and Conditions of Sale.
The Data made available by the Service Provider is transmitted to the Client via the Internet. The Service Provider makes every effort to guarantee the security of the transfers made, however, in this context, the confidentiality of such transfers cannot be fully guaranteed and the Service Provider cannot be held liable for any loss, damage to integrity, alteration, unauthorised access, delays or failures in the transmission of the Data thus made available, which are not attributable to it.
In the event that liability may be held against the Service Provider or its subcontractors, the damages payable by the Service Provider shall, by mutual agreement, be limited annually to the sums actually paid by the Customer to the Service Provider under the General Terms and Conditions of Sale during the last 12 months. Under no circumstances may the Service Provider be required to compensate for indirect damages.
The Client undertakes to indemnify Euroleads against any damages and claims caused by the breach or fault of the Client (or its directors, or employees) or its authorised subcontractors in the performance of its obligations under these General Terms and Conditions of Sale.
In the event of a dispute, Euroleads’ contractual liability can only be held if the Client provides proof of Euroleads’ wrongful conduct and a causal link with the damage invoked.
Euroleads cannot be held liable for any damage resulting, in whole or in part, from a breach by the Client of any of the general or specific obligations of collaboration, prudence or diligence that the General Terms and Conditions of Sale, the Law, usage or equity impose on it:

  • The fault, negligence, omission or default of the Client,
  • The fault, negligence, omission of a subcontractor of the Client.

Neither Party shall be held liable to the other for the non-performance or delays in the performance of an obligation arising from these General Terms and Conditions of Sale due to the occurrence of a case of force majeure usually recognized by case law. In the event of a breach by the Client of its obligations under the T&Cs, Euroleads may automatically and without notice, interrupt the Services and terminate the T&Cs and the current T&Cs without waiving the damages to which Euroleads may be entitled, or reimbursing any sums received under the T&Cs, these sums remain definitively acquired by him.
Euroleads cannot be held liable if the performance of one or more Service(s) is prevented or delayed due to:

  • The Client, in particular in the event of fault, negligence, omission or non-compliance with its obligations under the T&Cs;
  • From a supplier of Euroleads, in particular in the event of fault, negligence or default;
  • A request from a competent tax, judicial or administrative authority.

Any complaint by the Client regarding the performance of the Service must be made in writing within three (3) months of the performance of the Service in question. It is the responsibility of the Client to provide any justification as to the reality of the poor performance of the Service and to leave Euroleads with all facilities to establish this non-conformity and to remedy it. The Client shall refrain from intervening itself or bringing in a third party for this purpose. This delay is justified by the temporary nature of many technical data, which disappear very quickly, making any effective investigation impossible. In any case, any liability action against Euroleads is time-barred one (1) year after the occurrence of the harmful event giving rise to it.
In addition, the Parties have expressly agreed and agreed to derogate from Article 1221 of the Civil Code. Also, the Client may not, under any circumstances, even after formal notice, have this obligation performed by a third party without the prior and express agreement of Euroleads or ask Euroleads for the reimbursement of any sum incurred for this purpose, unless the judge has given prior and express authorisation in this regard.

 

13. TERMINATION

In the event of an extension of the event beyond a period of fifteen (15) consecutive days, the Contract may be suspended by written agreement of the 2 Parties or terminated by operation of law by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt, unless the Parties expressly agree to another method of notification.
The Client remains liable for all the Services provided.

 

16. OPERATING RESERVE CLAUSE
Euroleads retains the right to object to the provision of Data until the full principal and ancillary price has been effectively paid.

 

17. MISCELLANEOUS: INSURANCE, PRESCRIPTION, ETC.

The Services provided to the Client by Euroleads are not subject to any exclusivity. As the Parties are independent contractors, the T&Cs are only binding on each other for the purposes mentioned therein. Consequently, the provisions of the T&Cs may in no way be interpreted as creating any association or company between the Parties or as entrusting any mandate from one to the other. In addition, neither Party may bind the other, in any way whatsoever and towards anyone, other than in accordance with the provisions of the T&Cs .
The Parties may cite the name of the other Party for commercial reference, on any document or any medium throughout the duration of the T&Cs.
No waiver by either Party to avail itself of any of its rights in accordance with the T&Cs shall constitute a waiver of such rights for the future.
If one or more provisions of the T&Cs prove to be null and void or irrelevant, they will be deemed unwritten and will not result in the nullity of the other provisions unless they are of a substantial nature.
The Parties shall replace the invalid provisions by means of an addendum with new provisions that are legally valid and as close as possible to the legal and economic meaning and purpose envisaged. The T&Cs entered into between the Parties represent the entirety and completeness of the agreement entered into between the Parties.
As this Contract is concluded intuitu personae, it may not be the subject of any transfer, whether total or partial, for consideration or free of charge, without the prior written consent of the other Party, except in the event of an intra-group reorganization, in particular a merger. In the absence of an agreement, the commercial relations between the Parties will be terminated, and this Contract will be terminated by operation of law, without the assignor being able to claim any compensation.
Each of the two Parties declares that it is the holder of insurance policies validly covering its civil and professional liability according to common law and undertakes to justify this at the simple request of the other Party.

 

18. GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION

These T&Cs are governed by French law. Any dispute arising from the interpretation or execution of these T&Cs will be the subject, prior to any legal action, of the search for an amicable solution between the Parties. If such a solution cannot be found within one month of the first meeting between the Parties, the Parties agree to give exclusive jurisdiction to the competent courts of Paris.
