Terms of Service

1. Purpose and acceptance of Terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern access to and use of the Berlioz AI platform (hereinafter "the Platform"), published by the company YSS (hereinafter "YSS" or "the Publisher"). By accessing the Platform, creating an account, or using any of its features, you (hereinafter "the User") accept these Terms in their entirety without reservation. If you do not accept these terms, you must immediately cease all use of the Platform. These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between the User and YSS. The User acknowledges having read and accepted them prior to any use of the Platform.

2. Registration and user account

Access to certain features of the Platform requires the creation of a user account. You agree to provide accurate, complete, and up-to-date information during registration, and to keep it current. Any inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated information may result in the suspension or deletion of your account. You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for any activity performed through your account, whether or not authorized by you. If you suspect unauthorized use or any breach of your account security, you must immediately notify YSS at support@berlioz.ai. YSS shall not be held liable for any loss or damage resulting from the User's failure to comply with their account security obligations. Each account is strictly personal and may not be shared, assigned, or transferred to a third party without prior written consent from YSS.

3. Trial periods

The Platform may offer free or reduced-rate trial periods to explore its features.

3.1 Eligibility

Trial periods are exclusively reserved for legal professionals (lawyers, legal counsels, notaries, bailiffs, judges, and any person practicing a regulated legal profession or carrying out legal activities in a professional capacity). The User agrees to provide proof of their status as a legal professional when signing up for a trial period, including any supporting documentation that YSS may reasonably request (bar registration number, professional card, business registration extract, employer certificate, or any other relevant document).

3.2 Right to refuse and cancel

YSS reserves the discretionary right to refuse, suspend, or cancel any trial period, at any time and without notice, when it considers that the trial is not legitimate, including in the following cases: - the User does not meet the eligibility conditions set out in section 3.1; - the User has provided inaccurate, incomplete, or misleading information; - the User has already benefited from a trial period, directly or indirectly (creating multiple accounts, using different email addresses, etc.); - the use of the trial period is abusive, misappropriated, or contrary to the purpose of the service; - the User is using the trial period for competitive evaluation, reverse engineering, or benchmarking purposes.

3.3 No acquired right

The granting of a trial period does not constitute an acquired right for the User. The refusal or cancellation of a trial period by YSS does not give rise to any compensation or indemnity.

3.4 End of trial period

At the end of the trial period, access to the relevant features will be automatically deactivated, unless the User subscribes to a paid plan. YSS may offer an automatic conversion to a paid subscription, of which the User will be informed in advance.

4. Pricing and subscriptions

The Platform offers different subscription plans whose pricing details are available on our dedicated page. Prices are shown in euros including VAT. Payment is made by credit card or any other payment method offered by the Platform. The subscription is automatically renewed at each billing period, unless canceled in accordance with Section 12 of these Terms. YSS reserves the right to modify its prices at any time. Any price change will be communicated to the User at least thirty (30) days before taking effect. If the User refuses the new pricing, they may cancel their subscription before the new prices take effect. Payments made are non-refundable, unless otherwise provided by applicable law.

5. User obligations

The User agrees to use the Platform in compliance with applicable laws, these Terms, and any reasonable use. It is particularly prohibited to: - disseminate illegal, defamatory, insulting, discriminatory, or immoral content; - use the Platform for fraudulent, malicious, or unintended purposes; - attempt to bypass, disable, or interfere with security measures in place; - perform automated data extraction (scraping, crawling), reverse engineering, or decompilation of all or part of the Platform; - share login credentials or allow unauthorized third parties to access their account; - use the Platform in a manner that degrades its performance or harms other users; - reproduce, copy, sell, resell, or otherwise exploit all or part of the Platform or its content without prior written authorization from YSS; - use the Platform for competitive evaluation or benchmarking purposes without prior written consent from YSS.

In the event of a breach of these obligations, YSS reserves the right to immediately suspend or terminate the User's account, without notice or prior formal demand, and without any compensation, without prejudice to any damages that YSS may claim.

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between the User and YSS regarding the use of the Platform, and supersede any prior agreement, written or oral, relating to the same subject matter.

16.2 Severability
