To be eligible for the Services, the User must be a natural person who has reached the age of 18 and has full legal capacity or a legal person duly registered as such in the trade and companies register under its jurisdiction.

The creation of a member account is not required for the use of the Services except in the case of a Subscription.

1.2. Creation of an account

The creation of a member account on the Website is a mandatory prerequisite for a Subscription. It involves completing the registration form, available on the Website, by providing accurate, up-to-date and complete information. This information must subsequently be regularly updated by the User in order to maintain their accuracy.

The User must choose a username consisting of a valid email and a password. User account access codes are strictly confidential. In the event of unauthorised use of his account or any breach of the confidentiality and security of his means of identification, the User must, without delay, inform the Company.

Each User agrees to create only one account corresponding to his profile.

ARTICLE 2 – OPERATION OF THE SERVICES

2.1. Designation of the Services

The Website provides access to the File transfer service, including, amongst other things, securing the transfer or protecting access to the File through a password (the “Service(s)”).

Some of the Services offered are only accessible as part of the subscription by the User (the “Subscription”), the terms of which are specified in Article 3. In any event, this Article 2 governs also the terms of use of the Services accessible via a Subscription unless otherwise and expressly stipulated in Article 3.

2.2. User licence

The Company grants the User of the Services a personal, non-exclusive, non-assignable and non-transferable right to use said Services for the duration of the provision of the Services by the Company to said User.

The temporary provision of the Services cannot be analysed as the transfer of any intellectual property right to the User.

The User agrees to use the Services only in accordance with his needs. This licence is granted only for the sole purpose of allowing the User to use the Services in accordance with their destinations and to the exclusion of any other purpose.

The User may not under any circumstances make the Services available to a third party and must strictly refrain from any other use, in particular any adaptation, modification, translation, arrangement, distribution, decompilation, without this list being exhaustive. It is also prohibited, without prejudice to the provisions of Article 4.2 below, to reproduce any element of the Website or any documentation concerning it, by any means, in any form and on any medium whatsoever.

2.3. Availability of the Services

The Company provides the User with the Services accessible on the Website via the Internet 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with the exception of maintenance periods. The Services linked to the Subscription are, however, accessible only for the duration of the Subscription taken out, subject to full compliance with these general conditions by the Subscriber.

The Company reserves the right to update and make functional changes to the Services at any time. These updates and functional changes to the Services may temporarily make access to said Services unavailable.

The User is warned of technical hazards and access interruptions that may occur. Consequently, the Company cannot be held responsible for the unavailability or slowdown of the Services.

The User agrees not to expose the Services to any risk of hacking and attempted attack on the vulnerability of the Website and its security system. Consequently, the User must put in place all the appropriate measures to prevent the aforementioned risks or any other risk likely to affect the Website and its host.

2.4. Duration of the Services

The Services are provided to Users by the Company for an indefinite period. The Company may terminate the Services at any time without compensation for the Users.

As an exception, the Subscriber has access to the Subscribed Services for the duration of his Subscription under the conditions of Article 3.

2.5. Nature of the Files processed

The User agrees not to enter a File, the content of which would be likely to infringe public order or good morals, provoke objections from third parties, or even contravene the legal provisions in force.

Consequently, it is expressly agreed that in the event that the Company is questioned, for any reason whatsoever, in any country whatsoever, by a third party on the basis in particular of an industrial and/or intellectual property right relating to an element provided by a User, this User undertakes to fully guarantee the Company of the direct and/or indirect economic and financial consequences (including the costs of proceedings and defence) which would result from these claims.

It is reminded that the Files submitted by Users and the information shared by them can be collected and used by third parties, in particular via the link referred to in Article 2.7. In this sense, the Company does not guarantee compliance with the ownership of this data; it is the responsibility of the User to take all the necessary measures to preserve ownership of his data.

The User is informed that the protection of access to Files by password is not absolute and requires the taking of all measures by the latter in order to keep confidential the password generated on the Website. Consequently, the Company cannot be held responsible for the storage or sharing conditions for any password generated on the Website.

The User must ensure that the Files, more generally data, are sent to the Website, and cannot blame the Company on any basis and for any reason whatsoever for the non-receipt or loss of the data transmitted. The User will thus care to keep a backup of the data transmitted.

2.6. Quality of the transferred Files

With regard to the free services, it is expressly agreed that the Company in no way guarantees the effectiveness of the Services and consequently the quality of the Files transferred as part of the use of the Services.

Consequently, the User is solely responsible for the Files that he transfers and cannot blame the Company, in particular for any malfunction of the Services.

As an exception, as part of the Subscription, the Company undertakes, by an obligation of means and not of result, to preserve the integrity of the Files transferred via the Service. The Company cannot, however, ensure perfect receipt of the Files from the recipient of the transfer. The recipient is required, alone, to have all the IT tools required for receiving Files.

In any event, the Subscriber is recommended to keep a backup of the Files transmitted. Hence, in the event of loss or alteration of Files, the Company cannot be held liable.

2.7. Conservation of the generated Files

During each use of the Services, the Website automatically generates an unindexed internet link protected by a unique and personal access key from which the User has the possibility of finding all the Files that he will have generated during said use of the Services.

Generated Files are kept by the Company for a period of seven (7) calendar days for Non-Subscriber Users, calculated from hour to hour. For Subscribed Users, Files are stored by default for a period of twenty-one (21) calendar days. Subscribed Users may configure their account so that Files are stored for a period of between one (1) day and three hundred and sixty-five (365) calendar days.

The User is expressly informed that the Company does not guarantee such retention. It undertakes only by an obligation of means to provide its best efforts in the aim of such conservation. For Non-Subscriber Users, in the event that such retention would generate a financial burden that is difficult for the Company to bear, the Company reserves the right to delete said Files without prior information to the User.

The User is solely responsible for the use of the generated link. This use cannot, however, risk causing the vulnerability and proper functioning of the Website and its host.

2.8. Data ownership

2.8.1. Principle

The User of the Services remains the owner of all the data he communicates in the context of the use of the Services.

2.8.2. Object, nature and purpose of processing personal data

As part of the use of the Services, the Company may need to process personal data contained in User Files.

These data are processed only for the provision of the Services.

2.8.3. Role of the Company

The Company only assumes, within the meaning of EU Regulation 2016/679 of April 27th, 2016, the role of a subcontractor of the User in the context of the processing of personal data.

Consequently, the Company does not determine the purposes and means of processing personal data. Personal data is only processed by the Company on the instruction of the User entered on the Website as part of the use of the Services, including with regard to transfers of personal data to a third country or to an international organisation, unless the Company is required to do so under European Union or national law; in this case, the Company informs the User of this legal obligation before processing, unless the law concerned prohibits information for important reasons of public interest.

If the Company considers that an instruction constitutes a violation of EU Regulation 2016/679 of April 27th, 2016 or any other provisions of European Union or national law relating to the protection of personal data, it will immediately inform the User.

2.8.4. Confidentiality, security and collaboration

The Company undertakes to ensure compliance with the following obligations, with regard to personal data, through its staff or the service providers it resorts to for the execution of the present Contract:

  • not to take any copy of the documents and information media entrusted to it, with the exception of those necessary for the execution of the present Contract or with the prior consent of the User and more generally to guarantee the confidentiality of personal data; and
  • to take all the security measures required by article 32 of EU Regulation 2016/679 of April 27th, 2016. These measures are taken taking into account the state of knowledge, the costs of implementation and the nature, scope, context and purposes of processing as well as risks, the degree of probability of which varies, for the rights and freedoms of the persons concerned by the processing of their personal data.

In addition, the Company undertakes, throughout the entire duration of the Services, to:

  • help, as far as possible, the User to fulfil all of his obligations relating to the requests submitted to him by the data subjects in order to exercise their rights provided for in chapter III of EU Regulation 2016/679 of April 27th, 2016, including in particular requests for the right of access, rectification, erasure (right to be forgotten), limitation of processing, opposition or portability; and
  • - notify the User, by email to the following address “privacy(at)transfernow(dot)net”, of any personal data breach after becoming aware of it. This notification is accompanied by any useful documentation to allow the User, if necessary, to notify this violation to the competent supervisory authority.

2.8.5. Subcontractors

The User authorises the Company to use any subcontractor of its choice for the execution of the present Contract. The Company informs the User of any planned changes concerning the addition or replacement of other subcontractors, thus giving the User the possibility of raising objections against said changes. This information will include the subcontracted processing activities, the identity and contact details of the subcontractor and the dates of the subcontract. The User has fifteen (15) calendar days from the date of receipt of this information to present his objections. This subcontracting can only be carried out if the User has not raised any objections within the aforementioned period.

The Company undertakes for the said subcontractor(s) to be subject to the same data protection obligations to which it is subject hereunder, it being specified that when this subcontractor does not fulfil its obligations in terms of data protection, the Company remains fully responsible to the User for the performance by said subcontractor of its obligations.

Under these conditions, the Company informs that it will, for the moment, resort to the following subcontractors:

For the storage part of files passing through the Service:

  • Scaleway SAS, with its registered office located at 8 rue de la Villa de l’Evêque, Paris 75008, FR.

The Subscriber User has the option of setting a price for his Files and requesting payment in order to allow access to download the Files via the Stripe platform, which handles all payment management.

2.9.2 Non-responsibility for the nature of the Files

The Company assumes no responsibility for the nature, quality, authenticity or legality of the Files offered for sale by Users. The User is solely responsible for the Files offered for sale and for the transactions carried out.

2.9.3. Commission

For each transaction carried out via the Stripe platform, the Company charges a commission of three (3) % of the total amount of the transaction. This commission is automatically deducted from the amount paid to the selling User by Stripe. The User accepts this deduction by using the File sale services.

2.9.4. Management of Payments and Refunds

The Company does not manage the payment of the payment received by the Seller User, or refunds. These operations are handled entirely by Stripe. In the event of a problem with a transaction or refund, the User must contact Stripe directly. The Company declines all responsibility in the event of a dispute concerning payments, refunds or any other financial operation.

2.9.5. Intellectual Property and Rights of Use

The selling User warrants that it holds all rights necessary to sell the Files and that these Files do not infringe any intellectual property rights or other rights of third parties. The User undertakes to indemnify the Company in the event of any third-party claim relating to the sale of Files.

2.9.6. Legal compliance

The Files offered for sale must comply with the laws in force and must not contain any content that is illegal, offensive or contrary to public order. The selling User is solely responsible for the legal conformity of the Files offered for sale.

2.9.7. Support and Assistance

The Company provides limited technical support for the use of the File sale functionality. In the event of any problems relating to transactions or Files sold, the selling User must handle claims and resolve disputes directly with the buyer and/or Stripe.

The Subscription must be carried out in accordance with the procedure provided for on the Website.

As an exception, the Subscriber may commit to a subscription period of one (1) year or two (2) years which can be tacitly renewed, without particular limitation for the same period. In the event that one of the parties does not wish to see the Subscription tacitly renewed, this party must notify its intention by registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt to the other party at least one (1) month before the initial term of the Subscription, the postmark being taken as proof.

However, the Company may exonerate itself from all or part of its liability by providing proof that the non-performance or improper performance of these presents is attributable either to the Subscriber or to the unforeseeable and insurmountable action of a third party to the provision of the services provided for herein, or to a case of force majeure.
