Preamble
In accordance with article L 441-1 of the French Commercial Code, these general terms and conditions of sale (the "Terms and Conditions") of the Influence4You platform constitute the sole basis of the commercial relationship between the parties concerning the use of the Influence4You platform.
Article 1: Purpose of the General Terms and Conditions of Sale
The purpose of the General Terms of Sale is to define the conditions under which Influence4You, a société par actions simplifiée (simplified joint stock company) with capital of 32,500 euros, whose registered office is located at 4 place du 229 rue Saint Honoré, 75001 Paris, France, registered with the Nanterre Trade and Companies Register under number 481317261 with intra-community VAT number: FR95 481 317 261; or the Influence4You.com service; or the teams in charge of the Influence4You.com, hereinafter referred to indistinctly as "Influence4You", provides any legal or natural person who has created a Brand and/or Agency account on Influence4You.com (hereinafter referred to as "Customers") with the services offered by Influence4You, which are detailed on the website accessible at www.Influence4You.com, including in particular the implementation of influencer campaigns by one or more influencers chosen by the Customer (hereinafter referred to indistinctly as the "Influencer"), which the Customer acknowledges having read before committing to.
They apply without restriction or reservation to all services provided by Influence4You to customers, regardless of any clauses that may appear in customer documents, including any general conditions of purchase. In accordance with current regulations, these General Terms and Conditions of Sale are systematically communicated to any Customer who requests them, to enable them to place an order with Influence4You.
All orders for services or subscriptions imply the Customer's acceptance of these General Terms and Conditions of Sale and of the general terms and conditions of use of the Influence4You website, where applicable.
The present General Terms and Conditions of Sale are communicated within 48 (forty-eight) hours to any Customer who so requests, or are freely available via the link at the bottom of the www.influence4you.com website.
‍
Article 2 : Duration of Influence4You's offers
Influence4You Subscription Offers take effect as soon as the account is created by a Customer or by an Influence4You employee on behalf of a Customer, or at worst immediately at the end of the trial period.
Offers have a duration defined at the time of online subscription by the Customer or that specified by an Influence4You employee in charge of the commercial relationship with the Customer by simple e-mail to the Customer. Subscriptions are renewed by tacit agreement for periods of the same duration as the current one. For example, a one-year subscription offer will be automatically renewed for a one-year period.
In the absence of precise details, the duration is set at one month, tacitly renewable.
Article 3: Terms of use of Influence4You and relationship between the Customer and the Influencer
In order to carry out the projects, the Customer must publish precise and exhaustive campaign guidelines on the Influence4You website (hereinafter referred to as the "Brief"), so that the Influencer has all the elements available to best respond to the campaign project defined in the Brief.
For campaigns with influencer payment, the Influencer is paid :
- directly and solely by the Customer when using the "Project" module.
- via the platform on behalf of the customer for the "Marketplace" module. In this case, the influencer's remuneration is prorated according to compliance with the brief as estimated and defined by the Client, less Influence4You's margin. In the event that the Influencer contests this prorata, Influence4You reserves the right to make a decision and to indicate a prorata which will then be considered validated by the parties.
3.2 Choosing an influencer
The customer chooses from among the influencers present in the Influence4You database for users of the "Project" feature, or from among the influencers applying (particularly for users of the "Marketplace" feature).
3.3 Submitting the campaign brief
The Brief is defined by the Customer.
To be published by Influence4You on its marketplace, the Brief must first be validated by Influence4You.
Influence4You reserves the right to refuse any Brief it deems non-compliant or irrelevant to influencers, without giving rise to any refund of the subscription.
Influence4You reserves the discretionary right to accept or refuse influence campaigns from any Customer, including, but not limited to the following list of examples, those whose purpose or focus is :
- products and services for adults only;
- promotion of products in sectors prohibited or regulated by French law (in particular: cosmetic surgery, tobacco, drugs, CPF training, complex financial products, NFT, Crypto, etc.);
- services requiring medical advice ;
- Shopify-type store promotions;
- promotions of network marketing products or services; and
- sites or products judged to be of poor quality by the Influence4You teams.
3.4 Changing the campaign brief
The initial Brief of an Influencer, i.e. an Influencer whose participation in the influencer campaign has been validated by the Customer, cannot be modified by the Customer.
Any modification of the Brief by the Customer is applicable to any influencer whose participation has not been validated by the Customer.
3.5 Execution of the campaign by the Influencer
Influencers are independent and artistically free to :
- apply for the proposed influencer campaign; and
- respect the Brief when submitting their application to take part in the customer's influencer campaign.
For paid campaigns, in the event that the Influencer does not complete the campaign, the brand will not be liable for the Influencer's portion of the campaign.
If the Influencer only complies with part of the Brief when carrying out the campaign, the part of the campaign relating to this Influencer will be paid for in proportion to the Influencer's compliance with the Brief.
If the campaign is not completed on time, the brand is free to pay the Influencer or not.
The Influencer has complete artistic freedom, particularly in terms of what he or she may say about the Customer, its products or services.
3.6 Publication validation
The Customer expressly recognizes the independence and artistic freedom of the Influencer and cannot refuse to publish a Post that complies with the Brief published for the Customer's influence campaign.
The Customer has 10 (ten) days to validate or reject the publication only if the publication does not comply with the Brief.
In the absence of validation or refusal by the Customer within this 10 (ten) day period, the publication is considered validated without reservation, restriction or possible modification on the part of the Customer. The Customer must rate the publications produced as part of its influencer campaign in an ethical and respectful manner, in order to respect both the service provided by the Influencer and the Influencer's artistic freedom.
3.7 Discussion with the Influencer
The Customer can discuss freely with the Influencer via the platform set up by Influence4You.
The Customer must engage with the chosen Influencer(s) in a professional, courteous dialogue that respects the Influencer(s), their professional constraints and, where applicable, their privacy.
The Customer may not, under any circumstances, negotiate, propose or suggest another rate or rate condition in any form whatsoever, either upwards or downwards, to the Influencer directly or indirectly by a third party, without incurring contractual liability towards Influence4You. Influence4You reserves the right to block any message or account that violates these rules and to engage the contractual responsibility of the Customer in this regard.
3.8 Transparency and ethics
The Influencer must comply with the legislation, rules and standards in force throughout the duration of the collaboration with the Customer as part of the Customer's influence campaign.
The Influencer must indicate clearly, transparently and unambiguously throughout the promotion, directly on the image and video in his publications within his network and community that his publication is made as part of a paid or unpaid collaboration with the Customer.
Collaboration must be indicated by the words "advertising" or "commercial collaboration".
In addition, throughout the appearance, the influencer must :
- indicate "retouched image" when the face or silhouette has been modified using editing tools
- indicate "virtual image" when the image has been generated by computer processes
- include sector-specific information (e.g. "mangerbouger" for food products, information on gambling, training or the Evin law).
Any failure on the part of the Influencer and the Customer to publish and verify this information shall entail their full and entire responsibility and shall release Influence4You from its liability.
The Client and the Influencer expressly guarantee Influence4You against all financial consequences, damage to image, costs, claims, losses, condemnations, etc., including legal fees, that Influence4You would suffer as a result of such a breach by the Client or the Influencer of their obligations of transparency and ethics.
3.9 Audience measurement
The Customer acknowledges that the Influencer's audiences are provided by Influence4You or the Influencer for information purposes only and are in no way a guarantee of similar audiences during the Customer's promotional campaign.
The Customer expressly acknowledges that Influence4You cannot be held responsible for a drop in the audience or the number of views of the publications during the Influence campaign.
3.10 Assignment of intellectual property and image rights
Except with the Influencer's express prior agreement within the framework of the campaign, the Customer has no rights whatsoever over the Influencer's intellectual property rights and image rights for the duration of the influencer campaigns carried out on behalf of the Customer.
Without derogating from the preceding paragraph and without violating intellectual property rights and image rights, the Customer may share the publications produced, without modifying the content in any way whatsoever, using the sharing tools known on social networks, including, by way of non-exhaustive examples, retweets on Twitter or shares on Facebook.
If the customer has the influencer's agreement, then he can reuse the content produced by the influencers within the scope (duration of use, scope of use, geographical scope) that he establishes for each campaign.
3.11 References
The Customer authorizes Influence4You to quote :
elements, including but not limited to the name, logo, or any other graphic, sound or other element that identifies the Customer for reference purposes;
on its own communication media, including but not limited to its website and brochures.
Article 4: Financial terms and conditions
An invoice is issued on the last day of the month. It includes :
a monthly or annual subscription (on the anniversary date), the amount of which has been validated when registering on the platform or notified by the sales representative;
References to publications or posts by influencers that are invoiced as they are validated, and for which the amount was specified when the publication was validated.
Additional services are billed in the month they are performed;
VAT added on the last day of the month.
Rates are exclusive of tax (HT) and are payable in euros (€). Invoices are identified in the name of Influence4You.
With the exception of other terms defined by the employee in charge of the commercial relationship with the Customer, the Customer's payments are made by direct debit (credit card or bank account) as the invoice lines are drawn up, according to the following thresholds:
Each time the balance of 1,500 (one thousand five hundred) euros is reached; or
On the 4th of each month following completion of the services provided, if the balance exceeds 10 (ten) euros.
The Customer must ensure that he has valid means of payment at all times.
In application of article L 441-16 of the French Commercial Code, any default or delay in payment by the Customer will result in the payment of interest linked to a late payment penalty at the rate of 15% per annum and may result in the immediate suspension of Influence4You's services. This suspension ends with the regularization of payment by the Customer; the subscription remains due by the Customer and continues to run until complete termination by one of the parties.
Article 5: Customer obligations and responsibilities
5.1 Data supplied by the Customer
The customer provides all the information and products necessary for the realization of his influence campaign when he defines the parameters of his influence campaign in his Brief.

The Customer expressly authorizes Influence4You to publish content generated by campaigns on its platform.
Influence4You may refuse any campaign that does not correspond to the editorial choices or if the Customer has not provided all the necessary administrative, financial and legal proof.

The customer must ensure that a valid means of payment is available. In the event of a payment problem, the customer has 30 days to rectify the situation. If the situation is not rectified within 30 days of the payment default, the account will be automatically suspended and any commitment penalties described in article 5.6 will be due.
5.6 Early termination of commitment period
If the customer wishes to terminate his subscription before the end of the commitment period, a termination penalty equal to the following formula will be applied: MIN [(remaining months of commitment * monthly rate with commitment) ; (months of commitment over the renewal period * [price difference between rate with and monthly rate without commitment])*1.1]. In this way, we take the most advantageous amount for the customer between these 2 formulas.

Influencers or Influencer(s) who are contacted or canvassed by the Customer for this purpose must immediately notify Influence4You ;
The Customer agrees not to solicit for hire or hire any member of Influence4You's staff, including its employees in charge of the commercial relationship with the Customer, without the prior consent of Influence4You during the entire duration of this contract and one (1) year after the end of the contract, regardless of the cause. This prohibition also applies if the planned recruitment is the result of an initial solicitation by a member of Influence4You's staff.
In the event of non-compliance with the obligations set out in this article, Influence4You is entitled to terminate any contractual relationship with the Customer to the exclusive detriment of the latter and to demand, as a penalty clause, the immediate payment of a provisional sum of €1,500 (one thousand five hundred euros) for each breach observed, without prejudice to any additional damages that may be due in compensation for the prejudice suffered.

Cancellation is the responsibility of the customer, who must do so from his "my account" space 48 (forty-eight) hours before the subscription renewal date.
