The type of insight provided from this analysis includes, but is not limited to, the name of software and technologies they pay for and their expected subscription renewal dates. With this information, the App will then be able to notify them when there is an upcoming renewal date and offer other optimisation suggestions.

We reserve the right to add, remove, or modify features and functions in the App at any time.

c. App access

During the Agreement Term, we will provide you with a non-exclusive and non-transferable right to access the App as described in this Agreement.

We may provide some or all elements of the App through third-party service providers that require notices and/or additional terms and conditions. Such required third-party software notices and/or additional terms and conditions may be requested from us and are made a part of and incorporated by reference into these Terms.

d. Description of Additional Services

We may assist you in identifying and optimising your software and technology purchases in a number of ways that do not fall within the scope of the App, notably:

  • performing an audit of the users on each of your subscribed software and technologies;
  • detecting software and technologies that have not been identified by the App;
  • configuring integrations and migrating data between multiple software;
  • train you how to use the App;
  • creating a bespoke integration between the App and other software or technology.

We reserve the right to perform the aforementioned Additional Services for a fee. In any situation, this will only be done with your request or approval to do so.

  • which would have been received from a third party in a lawful manner;
  • the communication is required by the judicial authorities, pursuant to laws and regulations or in order to establish the rights of a Party under this Agreement.

h. Agreement Term and Termination

When you create an Account and agree to these Terms, the Agreement between you and LicenceOne is formed, and the term of the Agreement will begin (the “Agreement Term”). The Agreement Term will continue for as long as you have an Account or until either party terminates the Agreement in accordance with these Terms; whichever happens first, with exception to the clauses that will continue to be in effect as designated in Article 7(e) Survivability.

When you sign up for an account on behalf of a company, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to accept these Terms and enter into the Agreement on its behalf.

You or LicenceOne may terminate the Agreement at any time and for any reason by giving notice to the other party via email or registered mail and removing your Account.

We may suspend access to the Service for you at any time, with or without cause.
Once your account is removed, you acknowledge and agree that we may permanently delete your account and all the data associated with it.

You, therefore, promise to ensure that the email address associated with your Account is up to date and you will take note of such email notifications.

Unless you terminate your Account or notify us to the opposite effect, the new Terms will be effective immediately upon being posted on our website and will apply to any continued or new use of the App.

2. Payment and fees

We agree to provide you access to the App for free (zero euro, nada, zilch) while the App is in “Beta”.

We reserve the right to charge for continued access to the App at a later date. In such an event, LicenceOne agrees that you will not be able to accumulate any costs or charges related to using the App until you have explicitly acknowledged you wish to do so.

5. Limitation of liability

a. No indirect damages

No matter the cause, under no circumstances will you or LicenceOne have any liability to the other for any indirect, incidental, punitive, special, or consequential damages, whether in contract, tort or under any other theory of liability and regardless of whether the party has been advised of the possibility of those damages.

b. Direct damages

You acknowledge and agree that LicenceOne will only be liable for the damage which LicenceOne has directly and exclusively caused itself, and without the existence of any joint or several liability agreements with third parties that may have contributed to the damage.

c. Total aggregate liability

Our total aggregate liability to you shall never exceed the amount that you have paid us for the Service in the twelve (12) month period preceding the event giving rise to a claim.

This total aggregate liability limit does not apply to damages due to:

  • death or personal injury;
  • gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud;
  • any other basis that cannot be excluded or limited under the applicable law.

d.  Please follow the rules

Neither LicenceOne nor our Team will be held liable for any losses or damages you suffer if you use the Service in violation of these Terms, regardless of whether we terminate or suspend your account.

e. Equitable remedies

The foregoing “Limitation of Liability” disclaimers will not apply to the extent prohibited by applicable law and do not limit either party’s right to seek and obtain equitable remedies.

6. No warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we provide the Service to you on an “as-is” and “as available” basis. This means that, except as expressly stated in these Terms, LicenceOne, our affiliates and agents make no representations or warranties about the suitability, reliability, availability, timeliness, security or accuracy of the App.

LicenceOne reserves the right to temporarily suspend access to the App when we need to carry out maintenance and updates. In any instance where this occurs, we will do our best to time this to cause the least inconvenience.

You accept that no temporary interruption of access to the App shall give rise to any rights to compensation.

7. Other important stuff

a. Assignment

Neither party may assign their rights and obligations under this Agreement to anyone else without the prior written consent of the other party.

b. Relationship of the Parties

You and we agree that no joint venture, partnership, employment, franchise, or agency relationship exists between the parties.

This Agreement shall not be interpreted as to create any subordination between you and us – both parties retain full autonomy.

Neither party holds the authority to engage in or acquire any obligations on the other’s behalf.

c. Governing laws

This Agreement and the Service are governed by French law.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you hereby acknowledge and agree that any dispute relating to its validity, interpretation, and execution shall be submitted to the courts having jurisdiction over LicenceOne’s registered office at 17 rue Isaac Newton – 17000 La Rochelle, France, despite multiple defendants or the introduction of third parties. Both parties consent to personal jurisdiction in the same aforementioned courts.

The effective date of these Terms is the 4th of August 2020.

Application of Consumer Law
Our Services are intended for use by businesses and not for consumer purposes. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you hereby acknowledge and agree that consumer laws do not apply.

If however any consumer laws do apply and cannot otherwise be lawfully excluded, nothing in these Terms will restrict, exclude or modify any statutory warranties, guarantees, rights or remedies you have, and our liability is limited (at our option) to the replacement, repair or resupply of the Services.

d. Force Majure

In application of Article 1218 of the French Civil Code, neither party shall be responsible for any failure or delay of performance caused by events beyond their control which could not reasonably have been foreseen. This includes, but is not limited to, natural disasters; fires; floods; earthquakes; unusually severe weather conditions; nuclear accidents; dolphins taking over and implementing a new world order; acts of war, hostility, or sabotage; changes to law or regulations; riots; strikes; acts of hackers; and electrical, internet, or telecommunications outage that is not caused by the obligated party.

In a case where one party experiences a Force Majeure event, they will give notice to the other party and their obligations according to this Agreement will be temporarily suspended until the problem is resolved.

If the Force Majure event continues for more than fifteen (15) days, both you and LicenceOne agree to discuss how we can reasonably modify the Terms and our respective obligations to each other. If we cannot find reasonable alternatives or come to a new agreement, our respective obligations under these Terms can then be revoked without damage or compensation by notifying the other party with an email.

f. Severability

This Agreement will be enforced to the fullest extent permitted under the applicable law. If any provision in the Terms is deemed to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, said provision will be modified with a valid and enforceable replacement that most closely accomplishes the objectives of the original; and the remaining provisions of the Terms will remain in effect.
