Conditions of sale
These are the terms every order placed on this site is taken under. They are short on purpose, and there is nothing in them that is not written here.
Who may buy
What is sold here is sold to companies and to self-employed people, in the course of their trade. It is not sold to private individuals.
By ordering, you state that you are ordering for your business, and that whoever placed the order was entitled to place it.
What is sold
A monthly subscription to the rendering service, which runs on our machines: you send what a document should say, and the finished PDF comes back.
A licence to the PDF library, paid once, with no end date and no count of machines. Corrections and lesser versions are free for as long as the version you bought lasts; when a new major version comes out, an owner pays a share of its price rather than the whole of it.
A licence to the server together with that library, on the same terms, to be installed on your own machines.
Prices and payment
Every price shown on this site is in euros and before tax. The payment page works out the tax due and adds it, and the invoice carries both figures.
Payment is by card, on a page held by our payment provider: no card number ever reaches this site. For the two licences bought outright, you may ask for an invoice and pay it by bank transfer instead; the licence is delivered once the money has arrived.
A price may change at any time. The price that binds an order is the one shown when the order was placed.
Delivery
There is nothing to ship. A subscription starts as soon as the payment is taken, and the account it belongs to can make documents straight away.
A licence bought outright is delivered by email, as a licence key and the files it unlocks, within one working day of the payment arriving.
How long a subscription lasts, and how to stop it
A subscription runs month by month. It renews on its own until you stop it, and you may stop it at any time from your account: it then runs to the end of the month already paid for and is not renewed. There is no notice to give and no month to pay beyond that one.
A month already begun is not refunded, whether or not any document was made in it.
What a licence allows, and what it does not
A licence lets your business use the software, on as many machines as it likes, inside your own products and for the documents you send your own customers. It does not let you resell the software itself, hand it on, rent it out, or publish it.
The software stays ours. What you buy is the right to use it, not the ownership of it.
Your documents, and what happens to them
On the rendering service, what you send is used to make the document you asked for and for nothing else. It is not read, not kept beyond what the request needs, and never handed to anybody.
Buy the library or the server and the question does not arise: nothing leaves your machines, because there is nothing in them that would send it.
What we answer for
The software is supplied to do what these pages say it does. What it does not do is written down as plainly as what it does, and you are asked to read that before buying.
We do not answer for what your own programs do with it, nor for a document whose figures were wrong before they reached us. Whatever the claim, what can be asked of us is capped at what you paid us over the twelve months before it.
Nothing here sets aside a right the law gives you that cannot be set aside.
Which law, and which court
French law governs these terms. If a disagreement cannot be settled between us, it goes to the courts of Aix-en-Provence.
