Also, In the hypothesis where the client does not provide the informations, documents or validations expected by the service provider, or does not follow up on his project by not giving a response to the reminders of the service provider (email or mail) within two months, the client shall be deemed to have abandoned its project and the parties agree in agreement that the contract will be declared to have been terminated.

If express requests for unconventional SEO methods are made by the client, the service provider is entirely free from the penalties that can be put in place by the search engines on the positions of the client's website.

The client is solely responsible for the content of its website and for any damage that may result from its use or display.

This also does not include the return to service of the website in the case of a service interruption by the supplier, in the case of mishandling by the client, or in case of website hacking.

This service also includes advice for writing content, updating the website, manipulating the back office, or any other request from the Client.

9. – Maintenance, updates and evolution

The operation of the service may be interrupted to enable the service provider to carry out the maintenance work imposed by its mission. The service provider undertakes, however, when the conditions permit, to carry out these operations during the hours that are the least disadvantageous to the client. In the case of inaccessibility to the server due to technical malfunctions of its jurisdiction, the service provider undertakes to re-establish within 72 hours the proper functioning of the service.

In no event shall the service provider be liable for any fault, negligence, omission or failure of the client, failure to comply with the advice given by the service provider, superior force, events or incidents beyond the control of the service provider, fault, negligence or omission of a third party over which the service provider has no power of control and supervision.
