8.4. Annual revision of the Subscription price
The Subscription price is fixed during the initial Subscription period.
On each anniversary of the Contract, starting from the second year of its execution (in case of renewal under the conditions referred to in Article 9.1 ("Initial Term and renewal")), the Subscription price may be revised by Sellsy, within the limit of the following amount "Pn":

Client Content, whether stored, published online or uploaded by Users, is saved on dedicated external servers also located in France.
The Client's Content is stored on SELLSY's servers for eighteen (18) months after the end of its Subscription, except for any Content for which longer storage is required by law or by the regulations.
SELLSY only allows access to the Software and Content to persons specifically authorised by SELLSY and by the Client, and implements the measures and technical means necessary to ensure the security of connections, Client Content and Client Personal Data.
10.2 SELLSY's warranty disclaimer
TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, SELLSY'S SERVICES ARE PROVIDED AND LICENSED ON AN "AS IS" BASIS. SELLSY DOES NOT WARRANT THAT USE OF THE MODULES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE.
Whatever the cause, SELLSY's total cumulative liability may never exceed the amount of fees actually received by SELLSY from a Client for their Subscription over the twelve (12) month period ongoing at the time of the liability event.
However, this cap on liability does not apply to liability arising from:
- death or personal injury;
- gross negligence or fraud;
- any other grounds that cannot be excluded or limited under the applicable regulations.
SELLSY may only be held liable for damage caused directly and exclusively by SELLSY, without any joint or several liability with third parties who have contributed to the damage.
SELLSY may not be held liable for indirect damages such as loss of profits, orders, clients, turnover, or data, non-material damage or commercial damage.
No legal action or claim whatsoever may be initiated or brought by the Client against SELLSY if more than one (1) year has elapsed since the event giving rise to the claim.
10.3 Client's liability and warranty
10.3.1 Access to and use of the Software
The Client acknowledges that the Modules constitute a particularly complex platform, especially in terms of computer technology. SELLSY uses state-of-the-art processes and techniques. However, given our current state of knowledge, tests and experiments cannot cover all possible uses. The Client therefore agrees to bear the risks of the Modules being unsuitable or unavailable.
The Client acts as an independent entity and consequently assumes all the risks of its activity. The Client is solely responsible for the Subscription, the Content and the files sent, shared or received, as well as for their operation and updating.
The Client is responsible for:
- access to and use of the Software by all Users;
- obtaining and maintaining all equipment necessary to access the Software;
- ensuring that such equipment is compatible with the Software. The Client may, at its own risk, grant access to its Account to its clients. The Client's insurance must cover such risks.
The Client must make all claims to SELLSY concerning its access and use of the Software within forty-eight (48) hours of the event.
10.3.2 The Client's and Users' equipment
SELLSY may advise the Client of technical requirements or specific configurations for using the Software. The Client and Users are responsible for following such technical requirements or recommendations.
The Client and Users are solely responsible for their connection to the Internet as well as all related costs.
Modules may be accessed by using software downloaded onto the Client's and User's devices. The Client and Users agree that SELLSY may automatically update such software, and these GTCS will apply to such updates.
The Client and Users declare that they understand that SELLSY cannot be held liable in the event of Internet outages, viruses affecting their data and/or software, any misuse of Account passwords and, more generally, any damage caused by third parties.
The Client is solely responsible for the use and implementation of security, protection and backup measures for its equipment, Content and software. To this end, the Client agrees to take all appropriate measures to protect its Content.
The User agrees not to commit any act that could jeopardise the security of the software platform.
10.3.3 The Client's warranties and limitation of liability
The Client holds SELLSY, as well as its affiliated companies and subsidiaries, their directors, administrators, employees and agents, harmless against any claim or demand made by a third party arising out of the Client's breach of the GTCS, its misuse of the Modules (including by Users) or the Client's violation of any law or the rights of a third party. Consequently, in the event of a claim by a third party, the Client shall bear all costs incurred/claimed by SELLSY, including its legal fees and the cost of any judgment against SELLSY.
The Client agrees to use the Software in compliance with the applicable laws and regulations.
In the event that SELLSY is held jointly and severally liable in any administrative or legal proceedings, due to the improper use of the Software by the Client and/or Users, the Client agrees to compensate SELLSY for all sums that may be claimed from it.
Whatever the cause, the Client's total cumulative liability may never exceed the amount of fees actually received by SELLSY from the Client for their Subscription over the twelve (12) month period ongoing at the time of the liability event.
However, this cap on liability does not apply to liability arising from:
- death or personal injury;
- gross negligence or fraud;
- any other grounds that cannot be excluded or limited under the applicable regulations.
XI. Intellectual property

They agree not to implement any reverse engineering process, except as permitted by law.
No use of SELLSY's name or brand may be made without its prior consent.

11.3.2 The Client's warranties
The Client shall hold SELLSY harmless (i) against any copyright infringement action relating to the elements owned by the Client and used on the Software and (ii) that it has obtained from third parties all the required authorisations allowing SELLSY to use the elements supplied by third parties, provided to SELLSY by the Client.
To this end, the Client shall bear all costs and expenses, including legal costs and lawyer's fees, incurred by SELLSY in connection with any such action, as well as the amount of any payment in settlement and/or damages that SELLSY may be ordered to pay.
This assumption of responsibility is subject to the following express conditions:

The purposes of the data processing are as follows:

- to manage and monitor the business relationship (subscriptions, orders, payments, complaints, etc.) and User Support (online, by email, by telephone, etc.);
- to monitor Client satisfaction (surveys, follow-up of clients’ feedback);

- to manage sponsorships;

- to manage requests to exercise Users' various rights;
- to manage disputes and legal proceedings.
12.2 Obligations of the Parties: general
The Parties acknowledge that SELLSY will be required to process the Personal Data provided by the Users in the various Modules, in its capacity as publisher of the Software, for the sole purpose and under the conditions agreed in the GTCS and in its Privacy Policy.
SELLSY agrees to process the Personal Data defined in Article 12.1 hereof ("Description and purposes of data processing, data collected") as follows.
- As data controller of the Client's Personal Data (concerning the contact details of the Client, and the data of the Users for account creation, management, and security purposes, etc.), Sellsy is responsible for complying with its own legal and regulatory obligations and commits to adhering to them.
- As data processor of Personal Data belonging to the Client (for example, the data of its own clients or prospects or of its suppliers), SELLSY limits itself to following the Client's documented instructions in terms of processing, subject to informing the Client in the event that any instructions given do not comply with the regulations. The Parties acknowledge that the fulfilment of the purpose of these GTCS and the use of the Modules constitute the Client's documented instructions. The Parties agree that any instruction that is not documented in writing, or that does not comply with regulations, will not be taken into account by SELLSY. SELLSY shall immediately inform the Client if, in its opinion, an instruction constitutes a violation of the current regulation or other provisions of the EU law or the law of the Member States relating to the protection of Personal Data.
SELLSY has appointed a DPO who can be contacted at the following address dpo@sellsy.com.
It is understood that SELLSY cannot be held liable for decisions taken by the Client as the data controller, given that the purpose of this document is not to provide legal advice. In particular, if the Client uses the Modules to process Data or categories of Data Personal (such as sensitive data as defined by the GDPR), the Client does so at its own risk, in its capacity as data controller, and SELLSY may not be held liable in the event of failure to comply with the regulations. The Client is hereby informed that the SELLSY Software is not adapted to the processing of sensitive data, and in particular health data. The Client shall therefore refrain from importing and/or more generally processing this type of Personal Data as part of its use of the Software. Any processing of such Data will therefore be the sole responsibility of the Client.
As data controller, the Client is responsible for complying with its own legal and regulatory obligations relating to the processing of Personal Data and commits to adhering to them throughout the duration of these terms. The Client acknowledges that the measures implemented by SELLSY as part of these GTCS constitute sufficient guarantees of compliance with the regulations, and the Client agrees to comply at all times with the relevant laws and regulations.
The Client agrees to inform SELLSY without delay, in the event of a change in the Client's requests, leading or likely to lead to a change in SELLSY's regulatory status.
12.3 Obligations of SELLSY as data processor
12.3.1 Cooperation and assistance
The Client acknowledges that the following steps satisfy SELLSY's obligation of cooperation and assistance so as to ensure that the processing complies with the regulations, in particular with regard to:
- notifications of breaches, which shall be sent by SELLSY as soon as possible after becoming aware of said breach (Article 12.3.2 "Security and confidentiality");
- requests to exercise the rights of the data subjects (clients, prospects, service providers, suppliers of the Client). In its capacity as data processor, SELLSY limits itself to assisting the Client in fulfilling its own obligations. Accordingly, SELLSY will never respond on behalf of the Client to any requests to exercise such rights sent directly to SELLSY: in the event that SELLSY receives such a request, SELLSY will forward it to the Client as soon as possible so that the latter can manage the appropriate follow-up;
- the documents and information necessary for the data controller to meet its accountability obligations.
12.3.2 Security and confidentiality
The Client acknowledges that the security measures communicated to it prior to Subscription meet the security and confidentiality requirements to ensure that the processing complies with the regulations, and in particular:
- The Modules and the Client's Data (application data and files) are hosted in data centers in France;
- SELLSY uses the TLS 1.3 protocol to encrypt data transfers. This encryption process protects the data by systematically scrambling the information before it is transferred to SELLSY;
- SELLSY only allows access to Modules and Client Data to persons specifically authorised by SELLSY and by the Client;
- No employee of SELLSY will have access to the Client's Data, unless access to this information is necessary for the Subscription or for the fulfilment of the purpose of these GTCS, in particular, for security reasons. At the request of the Client or Users and subject to Subscription to the support services, SELLSY may connect remotely to their Accounts, after formalising the User's agreement, to assist them in setting up or using the Modules except in the case of a Trial Account as provided for in Article 4.4 ('Trial Account');
- Each SELLSY employee is bound by a commitment to protect Personal Data;
- SELLSY will inform the Client of any breach of Personal Data entrusted to it by the Client, as soon as possible after becoming aware of it pursuant to article 33 §2 of the GDPR. SELLSY will promptly investigate any Personal Data breach in order to remedy such breach. SELLSY will promptly inform the Client of the corrective measures and the measures put in place to remedy the breach.
- SELLSY agrees to assist the Client in setting up a privacy impact assessment, limited to the data sub-processing service and the information available to SELLSY, and SELLSY may not be held liable for any damages resulting therefrom.
12.3.3 Sub-processing
The Client agrees that SELLSY may call upon sub-processors acting in its name and on its behalf, in order to assist it in the processing of the Client's Personal Data.
SELLSY takes all necessary precautions in the choice of its data processors entrusted with the Personal Data of its Clients and informs the Client of any planned change concerning the appointment or replacement of a sub-processor by any written means at its convenience.
In the event of the appointment or replacement of a sub-processor, the Client may object by notifying SELLSY in writing within ten (10) days following receipt of the notice of appointment or replacement sent by SELLSY. The Client acknowledges and accepts that failure to object within the aforementioned period shall be deemed to constitute acceptance of the new data processor by the Client. In the event that the Client objects to the appointment of a sub-processor for a legitimate reason, the Parties agree that either Party may terminate the Subscription.
SELLSY concludes an agreement with any sub-processor containing the same obligations as those set out in these GTCS, in particular by requiring the sub-processor to process the Client's Personal Data only in accordance with SELLSY's written instructions.
SELLSY remains fully liable to the Client for any processing carried out by the sub-processor in breach of the obligations of these GTCS.
12.3.4 Audits
If the Client deems an audit necessary to verify compliance of the Software with regulations, SELLSY agrees to undergo such audit under the following conditions:
- SELLSY shall provide the Client, at the Client's request and by email, with the documentation necessary to demonstrate SELLSY's compliance with its obligations as a data processor. Should the Client deem the said documentation to be insufficient to demonstrate compliance with regulations, the Client shall submit a request for an on-site audit, justified and documented, by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt.
- The audit must be carried out by a recognised independent auditor who is not in competition with SELLSY's commercial activities. The said independent auditor shall be selected by the Client and accepted by SELLSY. The auditor must hold the required professional qualifications and is subject to a non-disclosure agreement.
- The Parties acknowledge that all reports and information obtained as part of such audit are confidential information.
- The audit start date, the duration and the scope of the audit are defined by mutual agreement between the Parties with a minimum notice period of 30 working days.
- The frequency of audits is limited to one per year and must not disrupt SELLSY's activity. The audit may only be carried out during SELLSY's opening hours.
- The audit shall not involve access to information not related to processing carried out in accordance with these GTCS, nor physical access to the servers on which the Software is backed up.
- The Client shall bear all costs and expenses incurred as a result of the audit and shall reimburse SELLSY for all costs incurred for this purpose, in particular, the time spent to the audit based on the average hourly rate of SELLSY's staff involved in the audit.
12.3.5 Location - Data transfers
Users' Personal Data is hosted in France.
Some Personal Data is processed by sub-processors located outside the European Union.
SELLSY has ensured in advance that transfers are afforded the same level of protection as in the European Union and are accompanied by appropriate safeguards, in particular those provided for by articles 45 and 46 of the GDPR.
12.3.6 Return, destruction of personal data
At the choice of the Client and within a period of thirty (30) working days from the request addressed by the Client to SELLSY at the end of the Term, SELLSY will immediately return to the Client all Personal Data and all copies thereof, or securely delete or destroy the Personal Data.
12.3.7 Record of processing activities
SELLSY agrees to keep a record of all categories of activities relating to the processing of Personal Data carried out on behalf of the Client including:
- the name and contact details of SELLSY and its sub-processors, those of the Client and, where applicable, of the Client's and SELLSY's Data Protection Officer;
- the categories of processing carried out on behalf of the Client;
- where applicable, the transfers of Personal Data to a third country or to an International Organisation and the documents attesting to the existence of the appropriate safeguards imposed by articles 45 et seq. of the GDPR;
- a general description of the technical and organisational security measures referred to in article 32 of the GDPR.
XIII. Interoperability
Pursuant to article L.122-6-1 of the French Intellectual Property Code, the Client may obtain information from SELLSY on the interoperability of the Modules by sending a request by registered mail to: SAS SELLSY, 50 avenue du Lazaret - 17000 La Rochelle.
SELLSY will have two (2) months to send the requested information to the Client. The information will be communicated for the sole purpose of fulfilling its legal obligations. Under no circumstances may this information be provided by the Client to a third party, even free of charge.
XIV. Subcontracting
Without prejudice to the provisions of Article 12.3.3 ("Sub-processing"), SELLSY reserves the right to call upon data processors to assist it in fulfilling the purpose of these GTCS and for the collection of sums owed by the Client.
In any case, SELLSY shall remain liable to the Client vis-à-vis the provision of the subcontracted services.
XV. Miscellaneous
15.1 Non-solicitation of employee
The Client agrees not to hire or solicit the hiring or services (in any form whatsoever), for itself or on behalf of a third party, directly or indirectly, of any employee of SELLSY (i.e. any person employed by SELLSY on the day the Subscription is taken out, or who would enter into an employment contract with SELLSY during the Term) or to induce any of SELLSY's employees to cease the duties they perform or will perform at SELLSY.
This obligation will end twelve (12) months after the termination of the Subscription for any reason whatsoever.
In the event of non-fulfilment of this clause, the Client agrees to pay SELLSY, as a penalty clause, a sum equal to twelve (12) months of the monthly salary (after deduction of employer and employee social security contributions) paid by SELLSY to the employee concerned on the date on which the non-fulfilment of the obligation is noted.
Such penalty shall be due for each employee of SELLSY who is hired by the Client or whose services are requested by the Client in any form whatsoever.
Pursuant to article 1228 of the French Civil Code, SELLSY may pursue the enforcement of this obligation instead of requesting payment of this penalty clause.
15.2 Confidentiality
"Confidential Information" is, but is not limited to, all information and data communicated by one Party to the other Party, as part of the Subscription, in writing and/or orally, in particular in the form of graphs, drawings, plans, reports, client lists, price lists, results, minutes of meetings, instructions and other items in any form whatsoever. Confidential Information also includes the know-how of the Parties.
Each Party agrees in its own name (and in the name and on behalf of its representatives, employees and data processors) to keep the Confidential Information strictly confidential, using the same means and procedures as those used for its own confidential information, for the Term and ten (10) years thereafter.
This obligation of confidentiality does not cover Confidential Information:
- that is in the public domain on the date it is communicated or that has fallen into the public domain after that date (unless this is the result of a breach of the GTCS);
- that has been communicated to a Party on a non-confidential basis by a source other than the other Party, provided that such communication is not in breach of a non-disclosure agreement or the GTCS, or
- that would be disclosed by one of the Parties by reason of a legislative or regulatory provision or a court decision or a decision by any authority whatsoever.
15.3 No right of withdrawal
Pursuant to article L.221-3 of the French Consumer Code, business clients do not have a right of withdrawal for distance contracts.
Insofar as the Client takes out the Subscription as a business client and the Subscription is an online contract, the Client is not entitled to a withdrawal period after taking out the Subscription.

- A copy of the letter sent to the author of the content or proof that the author cannot be contacted.
15.5 Force Majeure

In addition, the Parties agree that an event of Force Majeure includes fires, epidemics, pandemics and health emergencies (except in the case of Covid), floods, natural disasters, earthquakes, interruption of Internet connections by the Internet service provider, acts of vandalism and cyber-attacks, strikes and lockouts.
In such a case, the obligations of the Parties will be suspended from the date of notification of the said grounds for exemption by one of the Parties to the other Party, until such time as it ceases.
Should such circumstances continue for a period of more than one (1) month, the Parties agree to enter into discussions with a view to modifying the terms of their respective obligations.
If no agreement or alternative is possible, the said obligations may then be terminated without damages, by simple written notification by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt, without compensation or notice.
15.6 Severability, waiver, invalidity
The GTCS constitute the entire agreement between the Clients and SELLSY regarding the Subscription, and supersede any previous oral or written agreement or arrangement relating thereto.
No waiver by one of the Parties of one of its obligations shall be deemed or interpreted as a waiver of its entitlements.
If one or more provisions of the GTCS are declared invalid, the others will remain in full force and effect.
In that case, the Parties shall, if possible, replace the invalidated provision with a valid provision consistent with the spirit and purpose of the GTCS.
15.7 Relationship between the Parties
Under no circumstances may the GTCS be deemed to establish a de facto partnership or joint venture between the Parties, or any other situation entailing any reciprocal representation or solidarity between them towards third parties.
The General Terms and Conditions shall not create any relationship of subordination between the Parties, who shall retain their full and complete autonomy in relation to each other.
15.8 Intuitu personae, assignment of the GTCS
The agreement is entered into intuitu personae, taking the Client into consideration.
It is strictly forbidden for Clients and Users to transfer all or part of their rights and obligations under the terms of the GTCS without SELLSY's authorisation.

TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN THE ABSENCE OF AN AMICABLE RESOLUTION BETWEEN THE PARTIES WITHIN ONE (1) MONTH FROM THE OCCURRENCE OF THE DISPUTE, ANY DISPUTE SHALL BE SUBJECT TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS LOCATED AT THE REGISTERED OFFICE OF SELLSY, INCLUDING IN CASES OF THIRD-PARTY PROCEEDINGS OR MULTIPLE DEFENDANTS.
The effective date of the GTCS is July 05, 2024.
In the event that a translated version of the GTCS conflicts with the French version, the French version shall prevail.

Each Party undertakes on its behalf (and on behalf of its officers, employees, and subcontractors) to strictly maintain confidentiality using the same means and methods as it uses for its own confidential information, the Confidential Information.
This confidentiality obligation does not cover Confidential Information:
- That is in the public domain as of the date of its communication or has entered the public domain subsequently (without resulting from a breach of the GCPS);
- That has been communicated to one Party in a non-confidential manner by a source other than the other Party, provided that it does not violate a confidentiality agreement or the GCPS;
- That a legislative or regulatory provision or a court decision or any authority obliges to disclose.

The reversibility operations will take place during the necessary time for their completion. The Services provided by SELLSY for the reversibility operations will be at the expense of the Client and billed at SELLSY's standard rates communicated in advance.

The Client acknowledges that the following actions fulfill SELLSY's obligation of cooperation and assistance to ensure compliance with the regulations, including:
- Notifications of breaches, which will be transmitted by SELLSY as soon as possible after becoming aware of the breach (16.2.2 Security and Confidentiality);
- Requests for the exercise of the rights of the Client's customers (access, rectification, objection, portability). SELLSY, as a data processor, only assists the Client in fulfilling its own obligations. Therefore, SELLSY never responds on behalf of the Client to requests for exercise addressed directly to it.

- Each SELLSY employee is bound by a commitment regarding the protection of Personal Data;

- SELLSY will inform the Client promptly of the corrective measures implemented to address the breach.

SELLSY takes all necessary precautions in choosing its subsequent subcontractors entrusted with the Client's Personal Data and informs the Client of any planned changes regarding the addition or replacement of a subsequent subcontractor by any means at its discretion.
The Client may object to such addition or replacement by notifying SELLSY in writing within ten (10) days following receipt of the notice of addition or replacement sent by SELLSY. The Client acknowledges and accepts that the absence of objection within the aforementioned period constitutes acceptance of a new subcontractor on its part. In the event that the Client opposes the appointment of a subsequent subcontractor for a legitimate reason, the Parties agree that either Party may terminate the Subscription.
SELLSY concludes a contract with any subsequent subcontractor containing the same obligations as those set out in these GCPS, including requiring the subsequent subcontractor to process the Client's Personal Data only in accordance with SELLSY's written instructions.
SELLSY remains fully responsible to the Client for any processing performed by the subsequent subcontractor in violation of the obligations set forth in these GCPS.

- SELLSY will provide the Client, upon request and by email, with the necessary documentation to demonstrate SELLSY's compliance with its obligations as a data processor. If the Client believes that this documentation does not allow it to demonstrate compliance with the regulations, the Client will submit a justified and documented request for an on-site audit by registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt.
- The audit must be carried out by an independent auditor of good reputation, not competing with SELLSY's business activities. This independent auditor is chosen by the Client and accepted by SELLSY.
- The auditor must possess the required professional qualifications and be subject to a confidentiality agreement.
- The Parties acknowledge that all reports and information obtained in the course of this audit are confidential information.

ARTICLE 17. Force Majeure
Neither Party shall be liable for any failure or delay in performance caused by a Force Majeure event as defined in Article 1218 of the French Civil Code. Additionally, the Parties agree that a Force Majeure event includes fires, epidemics, pandemics, and health emergencies, floods, natural disasters, earthquakes, internet connection interruptions by the internet service provider, vandalism, cyberattacks, strikes, and lockouts.

ARTICLE 18. Severability, Waiver, Invalidity
The GCPS constitute the entire agreement between the Client and SELLSY regarding the Subscription to the Services.
No waiver by SELLSY of any of its obligations shall be considered or interpreted as a waiver of its rights.

ARTICLE 20. Non-Solicitation of Personnel
The Client undertakes not to hire or solicit the hiring or services (in any form whatsoever), for itself or for a third party, directly or indirectly, of any employee of SELLSY (i.e., any person employed by SELLSY on the date of the Subscription or who would enter into an employment contract with SELLSY during the Term) or to induce any SELLSY employee to cease the functions they perform or will perform within SELLSY.
This obligation shall terminate twelve (12) months after the end of the service for any reason.
In the event of non-compliance with this article, the Client undertakes to pay SELLSY, as a penalty clause, an amount equal to twelve (12) months of the monthly salary (after deduction of employer and employee social security contributions) paid by SELLSY to the employee concerned on the date the breach of the obligation is found.
This penalty shall be due for each SELLSY employee who is hired by the Client or whose services are solicited by the Client in any form whatsoever. In accordance with Article 1228 of the Civil Code, SELLSY may enforce the performance of this obligation instead of claiming payment of this penalty.
ARTICLE 21. Proof Convention
By express agreement, the Parties acknowledge the following as having probative force:
- Data recorded and timestamped on SELLSY's systems;
- Computer records of the operations carried out by the Client on its interface.
ARTICLE 22. Applicable Law

Cette résiliation deviendra effective après une mise en demeure adressée à la Partie défaillante et restée sans effet dans un délai de 30 jours.
Toute Formation entamée est entièrement due à Sellsy Services.
Article 12 : Non sollicitation
Le Client s’engage, à ne pas embaucher ou solliciter l’embauche ou les services (sous quelque forme que ce soit), pour lui-même ou pour un tiers, directement ou indirectement, de tout salarié du Groupe SELLSY (c’est-à-dire de toute personne salariée du Groupe SELLSY au jour de la Formation).
Cette obligation prendra fin douze (12) mois après la résiliation de la Formation.
En cas d’inexécution du présent article, le Client s’engage à verser au Groupe SELLSY, à titre de clause pénale, une somme égale à douze (12) mois du salaire mensuel (déduction faite des cotisations sociales patronales et salariales) versé par le Groupe SELLSY au salarié concerné à la date à laquelle l’inexécution de l’obligation serait constatée. Cette pénalité sera due pour chaque salarié du Groupe SELLSY qui serait embauché par le Client ou dont les services seraient sollicités par le Client sous quelque forme que ce soit. Conformément à l’article 1228 du code civil, le Groupe SELLSY peut poursuivre l’exécution forcée de cette obligation au lieu de réclamer le paiement de cette clause pénale.

Chacune des Parties à une convention de formation pourra y mettre fin par lettre recommandée avec accusé de réception avec un préavis de dix (10) jours ouvrables, au cas où l'exécution de l'accord ou son report serait impossible, pour raison de force majeure, et ce, sans aucune indemnité de part et d'autre.
