The Parties agree that no handwritten annotation added by the Customer will have any value unless expressly accepted by Cocoom.

It is specified that the Contract constitutes the entire agreement of the Parties with regard to its subject matter and prevails over any other general terms and conditions of purchase, sale or service of either Party, or over any commitment, declaration or any other previous agreement between the Parties having the same subject matter.

Execution of the Contract implies that the Customer has necessarily adhered without reservation to these general terms and conditions.

Acceptance and evolution of the present general conditions

The Customer is deemed to have read the entire Agreement and to have duly accepted its terms, without reservation, when signing it.

The Parties acknowledge that acceptance of the Agreement by electronic means has the same evidential value between the Parties as an agreement on paper.

Cocoom reserves the right to unilaterally modify these general terms and conditions. These modifications will be enforceable against the Customer after having been published by any means whatsoever.

Any substantial modification of the general conditions will be communicated to the Customer within thirty (30) calendar days before they take effect. In the event of refusal of the new general terms and conditions, the Customer remains free to terminate the Agreement.

The Customer acknowledges that it will have to update this browser and these operating systems in order to be able to fully use the Application Solutions.

         Prerequisites relating to the accuracy of the Contents

The Client acknowledges that the Application Solutions have been developed and are updated taking into account the various collective agreements and social obligations in order to provide, on the basis of the Content communicated and/or completed by the Client, an efficient and up-to-date service for sharing knowledge and/or internal communication and/or for drafting and formatting internal information according to the Scope of Services subscribed to by the Client.

Likewise, Assistance Services are provided on the basis of the Content communicated and/or completed on the Application Solutions by the Client. Consequently, the Client acknowledges that the Application Solutions do not make it possible to verify the accuracy of the Content communicated and/or completed by the Client and that the Assistance Services will be provided on the basis of this Content.

Consequently, the Client undertakes to enter and update the Application Solutions with accurate, up-to-date and complete Content. The Customer acknowledges that, in the event of one or more errors in the Services provided by Cocoom under the Contract due to an inaccuracy or incompleteness of the Content, the Customer shall be solely responsible and that Cocoom cannot be held liable in this respect.

         Prerequisites for access and identification

The Client and Users will be required to take the necessary steps to ensure the security of access to their Account, in particular by means of unique, personal, strong passwords that are kept strictly confidential.

The Client shall ensure that each User ensures the security of his User Account, which implies that he imposes rules regarding access and identification, in particular with regard to the use of unique, personal, robust and strictly confidential passwords.
