A natural person who does not possess full legal capacity to do so may only access the Platform and the Services with the agreement of his or her legal representative.

3.1. Acceptance of the general terms and conditions for the Saas package
Acceptance of these general terms and conditions is confirmed by means of a tick box when the Client first logs into the Platform. This acceptance may only be full and unconditional.

4.1.1.
In order to use the Platform, the Client must register on the Website, completing the form provided for this purpose. The Client must supply all information shown as mandatory. No incomplete registrations will be approved. Registration automatically results in the opening of an Account on the Platform (hereafter referred to as the "Client Account") and the start of a trial period giving the Client the possibility to test the Platform for a period stated on the Website (hereafter referred to as the "Test Phase"). The Client agrees that all information provided by him in the registration form will be accurate, up-to-date, truthful and in no way misleading. He agrees to update this information in his Client Account in the event of any modifications, to ensure that the said information always meets the above-mentioned criteria. The Client is hereby informed and accepts that the information entered for the creation or updating of his Client Account constitutes proof of his identity. The Client becomes liable for the information he enters from the moment that this is confirmed.
4.1.2.
The Client may access the Platform at any time after having logged in using his login details. The Client agrees to use the Services on a personal basis and not to allow any third party to use them in his place or on his behalf, failing which he will bear full liability for such use. Similarly, he is liable for guaranteeing the confidential nature of his username and password, with any access to the Platform using the latter being considered to have been performed by the Client. The Client must immediately inform PLAYPLAY using the contact details shown at the beginning of this agreement if he notices that his Platform has been used without his knowledge. He acknowledges that PLAYPLAY is entitled to take all appropriate measures in such cases.
4.2. The choice of packages
To subscribe to the packages and to continue using the Platform and the Services after the Test Phase, the Client must:
- When he opts for one of the Saas packages: enter his bank details;
- When he opts for the Corporate package: contact PLAYPLAY using the contact details shown on the Website. The Client must supply PLAYPLAY with all useful information and documents to enable it to identify his requirements and expectations. PLAYPLAY will then analyse the Client's requirements and issue one or several quotations on this basis (hereafter referred to as the "Quotation") stating the package best meeting the Client’s requirements and the specific Services supplied as part of the chosen package (particularly the media libraries included, etc.).
Unless stated otherwise, the Quotations issued by PLAYPLAY are valid for 30 (thirty) days as from their issue date. Unless approved by the Client within this period, they will become null and void. Any Client wishing to order Services must approve the corresponding Quotation within the above-mentioned period by any appropriate written means, including by e-mail. This approval may be followed when applicable by the issuing of a purchase order by the Client, although such a purchase order will have no impact on these general terms and conditions.
Once the Client has approved the Quotation, PLAYPLAY will send him an e-mail containing his login details and a link enabling him to log into the Platform.
4.3. Selecting users
It is the Client’s responsibility to select the users having access to the Platform (hereafter referred to as the "Users"), subject to the maximum number of users provided for in the package or in the Quotation.
The Client may submit a request to create a user account attached to the Client Account (hereafter referred to as the "User Accounts"):
(i) Either by sending PLAYPLAY a list of Users for whom an account must be opened,
(ii) Or by inviting the said users into the Client Account by entering their details.
Upon receipt of the request to open each User Account, PLAYPLAY will acknowledge receipt of this to the Client by any appropriate written means including by e-mail, and will request confirmation of the corresponding User's identity. The Client agrees to reply by any appropriate written means including by e-mail within a maximum period of 30 days from this request. Should no reply be received within this period, the request to open the User Account will be considered as refused.
Upon receipt of the confirmation by the Client, PLAYPLAY approves the opening of the User Account and sends each User and the Client the login details assigned to the said User, by any appropriate written means including by e-mail, in addition to a link to log in to the Platform to create his password.
The Client assumes full liability for ensuring that the Users keep their usernames and/or passwords strictly private and confidential.
He agrees to ensure that the said Users do not enable any third party to use them in their place or on their behalf, failing which he will bear full liability for such use. He expressly acknowledges that any use of the Platform using these login details will be considered to have been performed by the Users concerned.
The Client agrees to contact PLAYPLAY immediately by any appropriate written means including by e-mail if it is found that a User Account has been used without the knowledge of the User concerned.
When the User Accounts have been opened, the Users will have access to an area enabling them to manage their use of the Platform and the Services.
5. Description of the Services
Depending on the chosen package, the Client will have access to some or all of the Services described on the website, including among others:
- "Off-the-shelf" Templates already created by PLAYPLAY, certain aspects of which can be customised by the Clients (including the logo, the colour, the font and the end packshot;
- Custom Templates, which among other things give the Client the possibility to incorporate his own graphical identity;
- Combinations of standard screens (hereafter referred to as the “Screens”).
The Client may produce videos using the Platform (hereafter referred to as the "Videos") .
To produce a Video, the Client must:
- Choose a Template and Screens from among those available on his Platform,
- Complete the proposed fields (author, quotation, etc.),
- Choose media from his own database(s) (photos, videos, music, etc.) and/or select, if he so wishes, content from the media libraries proposed by PLAYPLAY, with the content of these libraries varying according to the package to which the Client has subscribed.
Concerning the media libraries proposed on the Platform more particularly, the Client is expressly informed and accepts that these are made available to him simply in order to facilitate his searches, without implying any guarantee or authorisation concerning their use. It is the Client’s responsibility to ensure that he possesses the necessary rights before any reproduction of the media concerned, by consulting the characteristics of the said media libraries on the Website’s FAQ page.
The Client may view the Video, send it to himself by e-mail and/or publish it on social networks.
The Video may be downloaded by the Client at any time from his Platform. All Videos created by the Client will continue to be accessible on the Platform for a period of 24 (twenty-four) months. Upon expiry of this period, the Videos will be deleted.
The User hereby accepts that PLAYPLAY may access the Videos, including for the following purposes:
- To provide the Clients with tailored advice, (editorial advice, advice concerning the use of the Templates, Screens and other features and functions).
- To assist the Client when he requests this via the Platform.
