4.2 Acceptance

The contract is formed on the date the Client signs the quote bearing the wording "Bon pour accord" (agreed and accepted), together where applicable with the signing of the related subscription contract. Electronic signatures have the same legal value as handwritten signatures (eIDAS Regulation).

4.3 Deposit

Unless otherwise stated in the quote, a deposit of 50 % is due upon signature of the quote. Work begins only after this deposit has actually been received.

4.4 Hierarchy of documents

In the event of contradiction between contractual documents, the order of priority is as follows:

• these T&Cs.

Article 5 - Obligations of the Parties

5.1 Obligations of the Provider

Odyssée undertakes to:

• perform the services with the care and diligence of a professional;
• comply with the indicative timelines communicated to the Client, subject to the timely provision by the Client of the necessary items (content, validations, access);
• inform the Client of any difficulty likely to affect the proper performance of the Contract;
• ensure the confidentiality of the information communicated by the Client (Article 10);
• implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure the security of the Project and the data processed.

Odyssée is bound by an obligation of means in performing the services.

• provide Odyssée, in good time, with all items necessary for the proper performance of the services (content, access, validations, documents);
• validate intermediate deliverables within the agreed timelines;
• pay the sums due on the agreed due dates;
• guarantee the legality of the content published on the Project and its compliance with third-party rights (copyright, image rights, trademarks, personal data, etc.);
• keep the Domain Name active throughout the term of the Contract;
• not modify the Project's code directly nor intervene on the hosting infrastructure without Odyssée's prior agreement;
• use the Project in compliance with these T&Cs and applicable regulations.

Any delay or failure by the Client to provide the necessary items shall result in an equivalent postponement of the performance timelines, without prejudice to Odyssée.

5.3 Subcontracting by Odyssée

Odyssée reserves the right to subcontract all or part of the services to third parties of its choice (developers, designers, copywriters, consultants), under its own responsibility. Odyssée remains solely responsible to the Client for the proper performance of the subcontracted services and warrants that its subcontractors are bound by confidentiality obligations equivalent to those of these T&Cs.

The use of technical sub-processors acting as data processors within the meaning of the GDPR is governed by Article 14.3.

Article 6 - Delivery and acceptance

6.1 Delivery

Odyssée delivers the Project to the Client on the agreed date, subject to the timely provision of the necessary items.

6.2 Acceptance

From the date of delivery, the Client has 15 days to report any non-conformity to Odyssée in writing. Failing any reservations within this period, the Project is deemed accepted without reservation.

6.3 Conformity warranty

Odyssée corrects, at no additional cost, any defects reported during the acceptance phase. This warranty does not cover changes or modifications requested by the Client beyond the initial scope of the quote, which are subject to an amendment or an additional quote.

6.4 Post-delivery warranty

Odyssée warrants the correction of bugs identified on the Project for 30 days from Go-live. This warranty does not cover damage resulting from non-compliant use of the Project, modifications carried out by the Client or a third party, or events of force majeure.

Article 7 - Intellectual property and buyout option

7.1 Content provided by the Client

Content provided by the Client (texts, images, logos, trademarks, videos, etc.) remains its exclusive property. The Client warrants Odyssée against any third-party claim relating to such content.

7.2 Licence of use during the subscription

Throughout the term of the maintenance subscription taken out by the Client, Odyssée retains intellectual property rights over the Project, including in particular the source code, technical architecture, custom graphic elements and bespoke developments carried out.

The Client benefits from a non-exclusive, non-transferable licence of use enabling it to use the Project for the purposes of its business, within the limits of the rights expressly granted to it.

7.3 Blog articles and content written by Odyssée

Blog articles and content written by Odyssée under SEO services included in the subscription become the property of the Client from their publication on the Project. The Client is free to reuse, modify or remove them.

7.4 Project buyout option

The Client may at any time exercise a buyout option allowing it to acquire the entirety of the intellectual property rights to the Project and to obtain the documented and exploitable source code.

The buyout price decreases with the length of the contractual relationship:

The buyout entails the definitive and exclusive assignment to the Client of the rights of reproduction, representation, adaptation and modification of the Project. Odyssée delivers the documented source code and supports the migration for 30 days following full payment of the buyout price.

The buyout option is exercised by written notice (email or registered letter) addressed to contact@odyssee-agency.com. The assignment takes effect upon full payment of the price.

7.5 Intellectual property of Odyssée

Odyssée retains all rights to its methods, know-how, tools, internal frameworks, templates and any element not specifically created for the Client. The Client may in no event claim any right to such elements, including in the event of a Project buyout.

7.6 Cessation of activity by Odyssée

In the event of definitive cessation of Odyssée's activity for any reason whatsoever (voluntary cessation, lasting incapacity of the Provider, liquidation), the Client automatically benefits, by operation of law, from a free-of-charge assignment of the intellectual property rights over its Project, equivalent to exercising the buyout option without financial consideration, provided that the Client is up to date with its payments at the date of cessation.

This assignment includes delivery of the Project's documented source code and, to the extent possible, migration assistance for 30 days. Odyssée undertakes to organise, to the extent possible, the continuity or transition of services by appointing, where appropriate, a trusted provider to ensure handover.

Article 8 - Hosting and domain name

8.1 Domain name

The Domain Name associated with the Project is the exclusive property of the Client, who bears the cost of registration and renewal. The Client retains full control of the Domain Name and may modify its configuration at any time.

Odyssée may, at the Client's request, assist in registration or renewal procedures, without becoming the holder.

8.2 Hosting

Hosting is provided by Odyssée on third-party professional infrastructure. The main technical sub-processors are identified in Article 14.3. Any change to this list is notified to the Client under the conditions of the same article.

The Client acknowledges that the quality of Hosting may be affected by events beyond Odyssée's control (third-party host outage, network outage, denial-of-service attacks, etc.).

• outages attributable to third-party hosts;

• Additional services: in accordance with the terms of the applicable quote.

9.3 Late payment

Any late payment automatically gives rise, without prior notice, to:

• the application of late payment penalties at the legal interest rate increased by 5 points;
• a fixed indemnity for recovery costs of €40 (article L.441-10 of the French Commercial Code). Additional indemnity may be claimed on production of supporting documents if the recovery costs actually incurred exceed this amount.

In the event of late payment exceeding 15 days, Odyssée reserves the right, after notification, to:

• suspend the performance of ongoing services, without such suspension releasing the Client from its financial obligations;
• terminate the Contract at the Client's fault under the conditions of Article 13.

9.4 Price revision

For subscriptions, Odyssée reserves the right to revise the price as from each annual due date, by notifying the Client in writing with 2 months' notice. The Client then has a right of termination, to be exercised within the month following the notification, without further indemnity or notice. Failing termination within this period, the price revision is deemed accepted.

Article 10 - Confidentiality

Each Party undertakes to keep strictly confidential any technical, commercial, financial, strategic or personal information communicated by the other Party during the performance of the Contract.

This obligation of confidentiality applies throughout the term of the Contract and for 3 years following its termination, regardless of the cause.

11.3 Excluded damages

Article 13 - Termination

13.1 Termination of creation services (one-shot)

Once the creation quote has been signed and the deposit paid, the Client may only terminate the service for serious fault by Odyssée, after formal notice that has remained without effect for 30 days.

Article 14 - Personal data (GDPR)

For the management of the commercial relationship (quotes, billing, support), Odyssée processes the following Client data: surname, first name, position, company name, professional contact details, payment data.

This data is kept for the duration of the Contract and 3 years after the last contact, for commercial prospecting purposes, or for the legal period applicable to accounting and tax obligations (10 years).

The Contract is concluded in consideration of the Client's identity (intuitu personae). The Client may not transfer the benefit of the Contract to a third party without Odyssée's prior written agreement.

Odyssée may transfer the Contract to any entity coming into its rights or continuing its activity, with simple information to the Client.

Article 16 - Commercial references

Unless the Client objects in writing, Odyssée reserves the right to mention the Client (name, logo, screenshot of the Project) in its commercial portfolio, on its website and on any communication medium, as a commercial reference.

The Client may withdraw this authorisation at any time by written notice to contact@odyssee-agency.com.

Article 17 - Changes to the T&Cs

18.2 Partial invalidity

If any provision of these T&Cs is declared null or unenforceable, the other provisions shall retain their full force and effect.

18.3 No waiver

The fact that one Party does not enforce a breach by the other Party of any of its obligations shall not be construed as a waiver to enforce it later.
