The User undertakes to:
• comply with the Publisher’s recommendations;

7– Application Availability and Malfunctions
The Publisher undertakes to use best efforts to ensure that the Application is accessible and operational at all times, subject to the limitations herein. In this respect, the Publisher is subject only to a best-efforts obligation and not an obligation of result and offers no guarantee of continuity of the Application.
The Publisher cannot guarantee uninterrupted access to the Application or that it will be error- or virus-free and provides no warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of quality or fitness for a particular purpose as to the availability and/or accuracy of the Application’s content and features.
In particular, the Publisher’s liability may not be incurred in the event of malfunction or non-operation of the Application resulting from lack of or poor 3G/4G/5G or internet coverage in general. The service’s operation is based in particular on technologies developed and operated by third parties over whom SEEBEE COMMUNITY has no control.
Furthermore, the Publisher reserves the right to temporarily interrupt access to the Application for corrective and/or evolutionary maintenance. However, the Publisher undertakes to use best efforts to minimize downtime.
Thus, the User declares that they are familiar with the internet and accept its limitations and constraints. In particular, they acknowledge that:
• the reliability of transmissions is random due, among other things, to the heterogeneous nature of the infrastructures and networks through which they pass and that failures or congestion may occur;
• restrictions on access to certain networks may exist. Such access may be subject to specific agreements;
• users can connect their computer equipment anywhere and may, where applicable, divert, disseminate, alter, destroy, or falsify data, software, and/or content circulating on the internet, despite the implementation of access control procedures, including passwords or other access codes. Consequently, it is up to the User to take all measures they deem appropriate to ensure the security of their equipment and data, in particular against contamination by any virus and/or intrusion attempt;
• all equipment used to connect to the Application is and remains the User’s sole responsibility.

SEEBEE COMMUNITY may, at its discretion, evolve the Application.

8– Financial Terms
Access to the Application is granted to the User free of charge.
The User’s subscription to add-on options/modules, including access to gaming and/or film content, is billed at the price stated on the Application.
The subscription amount for such add-on options/modules is indicated on the Application, in the currency of the User’s country of residence, inclusive of all taxes (VAT-inclusive) and exclusive of taxes (VAT-exclusive).
Where subscription to add-on options/modules is made via an app platform (such as the App Store, Google Play, etc.), payment is processed directly by that platform in accordance with its own terms and conditions.
SEEBEE COMMUNITY has no access to the User’s payment information.
Where subscription to add-on options/modules does not fall under the platform’s in-app purchase system, payment may be made by bank card or by automatic SEPA direct debit if the User is a professional.
Payment for add-on options/modules is monthly in advance, regardless of the subscription term selected by the User.
The amount of the first installment for subscription to add-on options/modules is payable immediately upon subscription.
Subsequent installments for add-on options/modules are payable in full on the 28th of each month for the following month.
SEEBEE COMMUNITY guarantees the security and confidentiality of the User’s payment data.
The User warrants to SEEBEE COMMUNITY that they have the necessary authorizations to use the selected payment method when validating the order.

The following provisions of Article 8 apply only to professional Users.
If payment is not made within the contractual deadlines, any unpaid amount shall automatically accrue daily interest until the date of full payment of principal, interest, costs, and accessories, at a rate equal to three (3) times the applicable legal interest rate, without any prior formalities and without prejudice to damages that SEEBEE COMMUNITY reserves the right to seek in court. In addition, any late payment shall give rise to a fixed recovery fee payable by the User, currently set by decree at forty (40) euros.

9– Intellectual Property

9.1. Intellectual Property in the Application
The layout, structure, and graphic and textual elements of the Application; editorial content; drawings; illustrations; images; photographs; graphic charters; trademarks; logos; acronyms; trade names; audiovisual works; multimedia works; visual content; audio and sound content; as well as any other content published within and/or component of the Application, are owned by the Publisher or used by it under license or authorization and are protected by intellectual property laws.
Use of the Application grants Users no rights other than the right to use the Application as provided herein.
Consequently, Users may not, in any manner whatsoever, reproduce, represent, distribute, commercialize, copy, translate, adapt, extract, and/or decompile all or part of any of the elements reproduced on the Application or any part of the Application in general, without the Publisher’s prior express consent, except for Content they originate.

9.2. Intellectual Property in the Content
It is expressly understood that by posting Content via the Application, the User acknowledges that such Content may be disseminated by the Publisher via the Application.
By publishing Content and registering on the Application, the User grants the Publisher, worldwide and for the entire duration of copyright protection, the right to reproduce, modify, and represent such Content on the Application, without any financial consideration, which the User expressly acknowledges.
Furthermore, the User represents and warrants that they are the owner of the Content they upload to the Application and that it is free of third-party rights or, at a minimum, that they have the rights necessary for its dissemination via the Application.
The User shall bear all consequences of any kind arising for SEEBEE COMMUNITY from the User’s failure to obtain such authorizations from the persons concerned in accordance with legal requirements. In this respect, the User shall hold SEEBEE COMMUNITY harmless from any claim, complaint, or demand alleging that the Content provided by the User has been reproduced without the prior authorization of its owners.

10– Personal Data Protection
Use of the Application by the User—particularly the creation of an account and/or subscription to add-on options/modules—involves the entry by the User of their first name, last name, email address, postal address, and bank details (hereinafter the “Data”). The complete list of personal data collected and/or processed by SEEBEE COMMUNITY in connection with the User’s use of the Application and its features appears in the data management policy available through the Application.
Data are retained only as needed for use of the Application, for business relationship follow-up, and for billing purposes, for the period necessary to perform such follow-up, which the User acknowledges by accepting these T&Cs.
The User is informed that they have the right, on legitimate grounds, to request updates, to object to processing, and to delete or rectify their data. They may exercise their rights, subject to providing proof of identity, by contacting SEEBEE COMMUNITY at the DPO contact details provided on the Application.
The Publisher attaches the utmost importance to the confidentiality of the User’s information and personal data.
SEEBEE COMMUNITY undertakes to ensure the confidentiality and security of the User’s personal data and informs the User that no data are transferred to third parties or outside Europe as part of this processing.
To ensure the security of the User’s personal data processed by the Publisher within the meaning of the GDPR, SEEBEE COMMUNITY automatically performs end-to-end encryption of the User’s Content.
Data encryption is a process that uses an algorithm to transform standard text characters into an unreadable format. This process uses encryption keys to scramble data so that only authorized Users can read them. End-to-end encryption secures communications from one endpoint to another.
Thus, any personal data entered by the User when creating Content or in any use of the Application will be immediately encrypted by SEEBEE COMMUNITY in compliance with applicable data-protection laws and regulations—namely the French Data Protection Act of 6 January 1978, the Act of 6 August 2004, and the GDPR—and the User will be solely responsible for them.

11– Term and Termination
The right to use the Application is granted for an indefinite term, and the license relating to add-on option(s) is granted to the User for either one (1) month or twelve (12) months, depending on the plan selected by the User when subscribing to the said option(s).
Subscription to add-on options/modules is automatically renewable by tacit renewal for the same term as the initial subscription, unless canceled by the User no later than twenty-four (24) hours before the end of the current contractual period.
Cancellation of subscription to modules/options is performed directly via the app platform, in accordance with the procedures implemented by such platforms.
It is the User’s responsibility, if they wish to terminate subscribed add-on options/modules, to first retrieve Content and available data and store them on a medium of their choice.

12– Right of Withdrawal
The provisions of this Article apply only to consumer and/or non-professional Users.
In accordance with Article L221-28 of the French Consumer Code, the User is informed that the right of withdrawal may not be exercised for services fully performed before the end of the withdrawal period and whose performance began after the consumer’s prior express consent and express waiver of the right of withdrawal. In this context, once the User expressly accepts immediate performance of the subscribed services (by ticking the box provided for this purpose when subscribing to add-on module(s)), they may not in any case rely on the right of withdrawal, and the order will be final upon validation by the User.
If, however, these conditions are not met, and in accordance with Articles L.221-18 et seq. of the French Consumer Code, when the User subscribes remotely (online in the Application) to add-on module(s), they benefit, under those Articles, from a right of withdrawal.
In that case, the User has fourteen (14) business days from the activation date of the add-on module(s) to withdraw, without having to justify the reason.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, the User must notify SEEBEE COMMUNITY of their decision to withdraw by means of an unambiguous statement using the withdrawal form available at the end of these T&Cs in Annex 1, sent to SEEBEE COMMUNITY at the address indicated at the beginning of these T&Cs.
SEEBEE COMMUNITY will then send the User an acknowledgment of receipt of the withdrawal as soon as the letter/email has been processed.
In the event of withdrawal via the Application, SEEBEE COMMUNITY will promptly provide the User with an acknowledgment of receipt of the withdrawal on a durable medium.
SEEBEE COMMUNITY undertakes to refund the payments received in consideration for access to the relevant add-on modules without undue delay and, in any event, no later than fourteen (14) days from notification of the withdrawal.
SEEBEE COMMUNITY will issue the refund using the same means of payment the User used for the initial transaction; return costs, if any, remain the User’s responsibility.

13– Hyperlinks
The Application may contain hyperlinks to third-party websites that are not governed by these T&Cs.
The Publisher has no control over the content of third-party websites referenced by hyperlinks. These websites are published by companies independent of the Publisher.
The Publisher shall therefore not be liable for the content, advertisements, products, services, or any other information or data available on or from such sites. Consequently, the User acknowledges that they are solely responsible for accessing and using such sites. The Publisher cannot be held liable for any proven or alleged damage or loss arising from or in connection with the use of or reliance on the content, goods, or services available on those sites.

14– Liability
If a third party reports Content published/distributed by the User as being contrary to these T&Cs or to applicable regulations, SEEBEE COMMUNITY is authorized to delete such Content immediately.
In the event of serious or repeated breach by the User of any of their obligations, and after formal notice sent by SEEBEE COMMUNITY to the User remains without effect for a period of thirty (30) days, SEEBEE COMMUNITY reserves the right to suspend the User’s access to the Application.
However, if the User’s breach has manifestly serious consequences for SEEBEE COMMUNITY or a third party, or violates public policy, SEEBEE COMMUNITY may immediately suspend the User’s access to the Application to protect public policy and third-party rights.

The following provisions of Article 14 apply only to professional Users.
The User is informed that, with respect to the feature that provides access to an intelligent GPS, SEEBEE COMMUNITY uses the services of HERE APPS LLC.
The terms and conditions governing use of the intelligent GPS feature published by HERE APPS LLC are available at the following address: ………
By using this feature, the User acknowledges having read and unreservedly accepted those terms and conditions.
The intelligent GPS published by HERE APPS LLC is provided to the User “as is.” Since SEEBEE COMMUNITY has no control over the content generated/provided by HERE APPS LLC, it cannot be held liable for the indications or information provided by HERE APPS LLC, notably in the event of routing errors related to the characteristics of the trucks used by the Users.
SEEBEE COMMUNITY’s liability for the intelligent GPS feature is limited to integrating it into the Application.
SEEBEE COMMUNITY’s total liability for any claim, liability, or costs of any nature is limited to the greater of the following amounts: €18,000 (eighteen thousand euros) or the amount paid by the User during the twelve (12) months preceding the dispute. Indirect losses suffered by the User are excluded from any claim for compensation. Indirect losses include, without limitation, loss of revenue, loss of business, commercial prejudice, loss of profit, loss of data (including data stored in the secure space), or any claim brought by any third party against the User.
The Parties acknowledge that the provisions of this clause are decisive in their willingness to enter into this contract and that the agreed price (or the free access, as the case may be) reflects the allocation of risk between the Parties and the resulting limitation of liability.

15– Objection to Telephone Solicitation
The provisions of this Article apply only to consumer and/or non-professional Users.
The User is informed that, insofar as they are required to provide their phone number to SEEBEE COMMUNITY when creating their account, they may, pursuant to Article L223-2 of the French Consumer Code, register on the telephone solicitation opt-out list.

16– Force Majeure
SEEBEE COMMUNITY shall not be liable if the non-performance or delay in performance of any of its obligations under these T&Cs results from an event of force majeure. Events of force majeure or fortuitous events are those defined by Article 1218 of the French Civil Code.
The following events are considered events of force majeure, without limitation: total or partial strike, explosion, flood, pandemic, failure of telecommunications, disruption of transport, delay or failure in the supply of raw materials for any reason whatsoever, shortage of electrical power and energy, attacks or threat of attacks, machine breakdown, etc.
If force majeure lasts for more than thirty (30) days, each Party may terminate these T&Cs.

17– Changes to the T&Cs
The applicable T&Cs are those in force on the date of the User’s connection to and use of the Application.
The Publisher reserves the right to amend, at any time, all or part of the provisions of the T&Cs in order to adapt them to changes to the Application and to technical, legal, or case-law developments or when new features are implemented.
Any changes made by the Publisher to the T&Cs will be brought to Users’ attention via a pop-up window in the Application. They are deemed accepted without reservation by any User who ticks the corresponding box in said pop-up window and accesses the Application after such publication. The Publisher invites all Users to consult the T&Cs regularly.
Any new feature incorporating new techniques or characteristics that improve the quality of the existing Application will also be subject to these T&Cs, unless expressly stated otherwise.

18– Statutory Warranties
The provisions of the paragraphs below in Article 18 apply only to consumer and/or non-professional Users.
The Application, including add-on modules subscribed by the User, is covered by:

the legal warranty of conformity provided for in Articles L.217-4 et seq. of the French Consumer Code, and
the warranty against hidden defects provided for in Articles 1641 et seq. of the French Civil Code,
under the conditions and in accordance with the procedures set out below.

The User has two years from access to the Application and the relevant add-on modules to obtain the implementation of the legal warranty of conformity in the event of a lack of conformity. During this period, the User is only required to prove the existence of the lack of conformity, not the date it appeared.
The legal warranty of conformity entitles the User to restoration to conformity of the relevant element/module within thirty days following their request, free of charge and without major inconvenience to them.
If the module is restored to conformity under the legal warranty of conformity, the User benefits from a six-month extension of the initial warranty.
The User may obtain a price reduction while keeping the non-conforming module or terminate the contract in return for a full refund against cessation of use of the module if:

SEEBEE refuses to restore the module to conformity;
Restoration to conformity occurs after a period of thirty days;
Restoration to conformity causes a major inconvenience to the User, in particular when the User bears associated costs;
Non-conformity of the module persists despite SEEBEE COMMUNITY’s unsuccessful attempt to restore conformity.
The User is also entitled to a price reduction or to termination of the contract where the lack of conformity is so serious as to justify immediate price reduction or termination. In such a case, the User is not required to first request restoration to conformity.
The User is not entitled to termination if the lack of conformity is minor.
Any period during which the module cannot be used pending restoration to conformity suspends the warranty period until delivery of the restored module.
The rights mentioned above result from the application of Articles L.217-1 to L.217-32 of the French Consumer Code.
If SEEBEE obstructs the implementation of the legal warranty of conformity in bad faith, it is liable to a civil fine of up to €300,000, which may be increased to up to 10% of average annual turnover (Article L.241-5 of the French Consumer Code).
The User also benefits from the legal warranty against hidden defects under Articles 1641 to 1649 of the French Civil Code, for two years from discovery of the defect. This warranty entitles the User to a price reduction if the module is kept, or to a full refund against cessation of use of the module.
To assert their rights, the User must inform SEEBEE COMMUNITY in writing of the non-conformity and/or defects affecting the modules within the time limits referred to above. SEEBEE COMMUNITY will refund or restore to conformity the modules under warranty deemed non-conforming or defective under the above conditions.
Refunds for modules deemed non-conforming or defective will be made as soon as possible and no later than fifteen (15) days after the lack of conformity or hidden defect is established.

Article 1641 of the French Civil Code:
The seller is bound by the warranty for hidden defects in the item sold which render it unfit for the use for which it is intended, or which so diminish that use that the buyer would not have acquired it, or would only have given a lower price for it, had they known of them.

Article 1644 of the French Civil Code:
In the cases provided for in Articles 1641 and 1643, the buyer has the choice of returning the item and having the price returned, or keeping the item and having part of the price returned.

Article 1648 of the French Civil Code:
The action resulting from redhibitory defects must be brought by the buyer within two years from discovery of the defect.
In the case provided for in Article 1642-1, the action must be brought, on pain of foreclosure, within one year from the date on which the seller may be discharged from apparent defects or lack of conformity.

Article L.217-4 of the French Consumer Code:
The seller delivers goods that conform to the contract and is liable for any lack of conformity existing at the time of delivery. It is also liable for any lack of conformity resulting from the packaging, assembly instructions, or installation where the latter was made its responsibility by the contract or was carried out under its responsibility.

Article L.217-5 of the French Consumer Code:
A commercial warranty means any contractual commitment by a professional to the consumer, in addition to the professional’s legal obligations aimed at ensuring the conformity of the goods, to refund the purchase price, replace or repair the goods, or provide any other service related to the goods.
The commercial warranty is set out in a written contract, a copy of which is given to the buyer.
The contract specifies the content of the warranty, the procedures for its implementation, its price, duration, territorial scope, and the name and address of the guarantor.
It also clearly states that, independently of the commercial warranty, the seller remains liable for the legal warranty of conformity mentioned in Articles L.217-4 to L.217-12 and for the warranty against defects of the item sold under Articles 1641 to 1648 and 2232 of the Civil Code.
The provisions of Articles L.217-4, L.217-5, L.217-12, and L.217-16 as well as Article 1641 and the first paragraph of Article 1648 of the Civil Code are reproduced in full in the contract.
If these provisions are not complied with, the warranty remains valid. The buyer is entitled to rely on it.

Article L.217-9 of the French Consumer Code:
In the event of lack of conformity, the buyer chooses between repair and replacement of the goods.
However, the seller may not proceed in accordance with the buyer’s choice if that choice entails a manifestly disproportionate cost compared with the other option, considering the value of the goods or the importance of the defect. In that case, it shall proceed, unless impossible, with the option not chosen by the buyer.

Article L.217-12 of the French Consumer Code:
The action resulting from lack of conformity is time-barred after two years from delivery of the goods.
