7. Legal warranties

As a consumer, you benefit from the legal guarantee of conformity of digital content and services, in accordance with articles L. 224-25-12 et seq. of the French Consumer Code, and the legal guarantee against hidden defects, in accordance with articles 1641 et seq. of the French Civil Code, under the conditions defined in the boxes below, one of the boxes relating to the conditions applicable in the event of a one-off supply of the Product or series of separate supplies of the Product (article 7.1 below), the second box relating to the conditions applicable in the event of continuous supply of the Product (article 7.2 below), for the duration specified at the time of purchase and in the confirmation e-mail. Your rights relating to legal guarantees may be exercised by contacting us at the postal address, e-mail address and/or telephone number indicated in article 22 of the General Sales Conditions. For the avoidance of doubt, in the boxes below, the term "professional" refers to us, the term "consumer" refers to you, and the terms "digital content" and "digital service" refer to the Product that you order on the Site and that we supply to you.

1. One-off supply of the Product, or series of separate Product supply operations 

Consumers have a period of two years from the date of supply of the digital content or service in which to invoke the legal warranty of conformity in the event of a lack of conformity. During a period of one year from the date of supply, the consumer is only required to establish the existence of the lack of conformity, and not the date of its appearance.

The legal warranty of conformity includes the obligation to provide all updates necessary to maintain the conformity of the digital content or service.

The legal guarantee of conformity entitles the consumer to have the digital content or service brought into conformity without undue delay following his request, at no cost and with no major inconvenience to him.

The consumer may obtain a price reduction by retaining the digital content or digital service, or he may terminate the contract with a full refund in exchange for relinquishing the digital content or digital service, if :

1. The professional refuses to bring the digital content or service into conformity;
2. The compliance of the digital content or service is unjustifiably delayed;
3. The digital content or service may not be brought into conformity at no cost to the consumer;
4. Bringing the digital content or service into conformity causes major inconvenience to the consumer;
5. The non-compliance of the digital content or service persists despite the professional's unsuccessful attempt to bring it into compliance.

The consumer is also entitled to a price reduction or rescission of the contract when the lack of conformity is so serious as to justify immediate price reduction or rescission of the contract. In such cases, the consumer is not obliged to ask for the digital content or service to be brought into conformity beforehand.

In cases where the lack of conformity is minor, the consumer has the right to cancel the contract only if the contract does not provide for payment of a price.

Any period of unavailability of the digital content or service for the purpose of bringing it back into conformity suspends the remaining warranty period until the digital content or service is supplied again in conformity.

The rights mentioned above result from the application of articles L. 224-25-1 to L. 224-25-31 of the French Consumer Code.

Any professional who obstructs the implementation of the legal guarantee of conformity in bad faith is liable to a civil fine of up to EUR 300,000, which may be increased to 10% of average annual sales (article L. 242-18-1 of the French Consumer Code).

In addition, the consumer benefits from the legal warranty for hidden defects in application of articles 1641 to 1649 of the French Civil Code, for a period of two years from the discovery of the defect. This warranty entitles the consumer to a price reduction if the digital content or service is retained, or to a full refund in exchange for renouncing the digital content or service.

2. Continuous product supply

Consumers are entitled to invoke the legal guarantee of conformity if a lack of conformity appears during the contractual period of supply of the digital content or service. During this period, the consumer is only required to establish the existence of the lack of conformity, and not the date of its appearance.

The legal warranty of conformity entails the obligation to provide all updates necessary to maintain the conformity of the digital content or digital service during the contractual period of supply of the digital content or digital service.

The legal guarantee of conformity entitles the consumer to have the digital content or service brought into conformity without undue delay following his request, at no cost and with no major inconvenience to him.

The consumer may obtain a price reduction by retaining the digital content or digital service, or he may terminate the contract with a full refund in exchange for relinquishing the digital content or digital service, if :

1. The professional refuses to bring the digital content or service into conformity;
2. The compliance of the digital content or service is unjustifiably delayed;
3. The digital content or service may not be brought into conformity at no cost to the consumer;
4. Bringing the digital content or service into conformity causes major inconvenience to the consumer;
5. The non-compliance of the digital content or service persists despite the professional's unsuccessful attempt to bring it into compliance.

The consumer is also entitled to a price reduction or rescission of the contract when the lack of conformity is so serious as to justify immediate price reduction or rescission of the contract. In such cases, the consumer is not obliged to ask for the digital content or service to be brought into conformity beforehand.

In cases where the lack of conformity is minor, the consumer has the right to cancel the contract only if the contract does not provide for payment of a price.

Any period of unavailability of the digital content or service for the purpose of bringing it back into conformity suspends the remaining warranty period until the digital content or service is supplied again in conformity.

These rights result from the application of articles L. 224-25-1 to L. 224-25-31 of the French Consumer Code.

Any professional who obstructs the implementation of the legal guarantee of conformity in bad faith is liable to a civil fine of up to EUR 300,000, which may be increased to 10% of average annual sales (article L. 242-18-1 of the French Consumer Code).

The consumer also benefits from the legal warranty for hidden defects in application of articles 1641 to 1649 of the French Civil Code, for a period of two years from the discovery of the defect. This warranty entitles the consumer to a price reduction if the digital content or service is retained, or to a full refund in exchange for renouncing the digital content or service.

17. Minimum service quality levels

18. Safety incident

In the event of a security incident, here's our process:

• Assemble team. Coordinate the team of security experts who will assess the severity of the incident, communicate with management and carry out mitigation measures.
• Identify, assess and contain the incident. Identify what has been compromised, and if a particular network is infected but other networks are not, isolate the affected network immediately to prevent the infection spreading. At the same time, retain all data from the infected network for later analysis.
• Recover and restore. If systems or networks are so severely affected that they cannot be operated with confidence, perform full disaster recovery and failover.
• Notify those affected by the breach. If customer or patient data has been compromised in the incident, inform those affected of the breach and offer to pay for any mitigation services they may need.
• Solve internal problems. If a malicious act has been perpetrated by a company employee, notify human resources so that the appropriate measures can be taken.
• Get the word out. Coordinate with corporate marketing and public relations for any message to be sent to the press or public.
• Perform an autopsy on security incidents. Once the security incident has been resolved, examine what happened, how it happened and how steps can be taken to avoid similar incidents in the future. Review policies and practices to reflect any changes.
• Evaluate our team's performance. How long did it take to detect the incident? How long did it take to resolve it? What actions would have been preferable?

Please contact us using the following email address to notify us of any security incident: support@flux.audio.

19. Transfer

We reserve the right to assign the contract to a third party. In the event of such an assignment, we will inform you by email if you are currently using one of our Product(s).

The contact details in article 22 and the company information in the preamble will be updated in the General Terms and Conditions of Sale accessible on the Site, and will be communicated to you if you are in the process of using a Product.

20. No waiver

The fact that we do not avail ourselves of a breach by you of any of the stipulations of the General Terms and Conditions of Sale does not constitute a waiver of our rights or of our right to subsequently avail ourselves of this stipulation and/or to make any claim in the event of a breach of this stipulation. Any tolerance with regard to compliance with the stipulations of the General Terms and Conditions of Sale may never, regardless of frequency or duration, be considered as a waiver of the application of the General Terms and Conditions of Sale.
