The User will also receive a copy by e-mail to the e-mail address provided when creating their Personal Space. Argil.ai reserves the right to adapt or modify these GTC at any time and without prior notice. Any new version posted online shall prevail over any previous version, whether printed or saved in digital or paper format by the User. The User is therefore invited to consult and regularly review these GTC. The applicable version of the GTC is the one accessible online during the User's visit and use of the Platform.In any event, Users who have a Personal Space will be informed of the entry into force of new GTC by e-mail to the e-mail address provided when creating their Personal Space and are invited to read them. Carrying out Operations and/or connecting to the Personal Space and/or using the Platform and/or the Services (even if only for consultation) implies acceptance of the current GTC.

These GTC are concluded for an indefinite period.The User acknowledges having taken cognizance of the nature, purpose and characteristics of the Platform and Services, as well as the prerequisites necessary for their use, in particular the conditions relating to the creation of a Personal Space. The User acknowledges that they have requested and obtained all the information they requested, particularly concerning the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the Services, enabling them to assess the suitability of the Services for their needs and to enter into the GTC with full knowledge of the facts. The User is solely responsible for choosing to use the Platform and the Services, and for carrying out Operations, such that Argil.ai cannot be held liable in any way in this respect.
5.1 Services available without creating a Personal Space
The Site's home page and certain pages of the Platform are accessible to all Internet users. The purpose of these pages is to provide Users with information about Argil.ai's activities, news (events, publications, etc.) and tutorials to guide them in using the Platform and Services. The Platform also offers features and/or information enabling Users to contact Argil.ai.However, certain pages of the Platform and certain Services are only accessible to Users who have previously created their Personal Space.The Company also manages pages presenting its activity and enabling it to publish content on social networks and interact with Internet users (notably on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, Pinterest, LinkedIn, etc.).
5.2 Services available subject to the creation of a Personal Space
In order to benefit from and use the Services described below, the User must create a Personal Space, particularly in accordance with the provisions of the article "Creation of a Personal Space" of these GTC.
5.2.1 Access and use of a Personal Space.
When accessing the Platform and after creating a Personal Space in accordance with the provisions of the "Creation of a Personal Space" article, the User is granted access to said Personal Space. The Personal Space allows (i) the updating of part of the User's information, (ii) the use of Services accessible subject to the creation of a Personal Space and (iii) secure access to the User's personal home page.
5.2.2 Access and use of the Platform
Access to the Argil.ai Platform and the use of its Services are structured in stages to provide Users with a better experience. The Platform enables the User to create, store on their Personal Space, and export a video generated by Artificial Intelligence, i.e., Generated Content, according to their instructions. The User can also import images and/or videos onto the Platform. A limited part of the Services is free of charge for Users, who may use all the Services subject to payment of a fee as described in article 8.1 of these GTC.
5.2.3 Creation of Generated Content
5.2.3.1 Creating the User's Avatar
Argil.ai enables Users to create Generated Content featuring, among other things, a User Avatar through Artificial Intelligence. Users can issue instructions concerning the Generated Content they wish to create, and can thus stage the User Avatar reciting the script provided by the User. However, to create a User Avatar, the User must first upload onto the Platform a video of a certain length in which the User speaks to the camera. Argil.ai will provide specific instructions that the User - having duly completed their KYC in accordance with article 7.1 of these GTC - must follow for their video to be accepted and allow the creation of their User Avatar. If these requirements are not met, the User Avatar cannot be created, and the Customer cannot generate Generated Content containing their User Avatar. The User is responsible for the proper production of the video and for the material and technical conditions under which it is produced. It is possible that the video provided by the User does not comply with the requirements set by Argil.ai in order to create the User Avatar and that it would be therefore refused by the Company - with regard to the reasons set out in article 6.2.2 hereof - which the User acknowledges and for which Argil.ai cannot be held responsible. Once the video has been imported, the Platform's Artificial Intelligence analyses the unique characteristics of the User captured in the video. This analysis includes studying voice, facial expressions and movement in minutes. Based on this analysis, Artificial Intelligence creates a User Avatar that mimics the personal characteristics of the User provided by the video. Before finalizing the User Avatar, the User can preview certain characteristics such as the User Avatar's voice and movement. This step enables the User to check that the User Avatar meets their expectations. The User acknowledges and accepts that the User Avatar is created and generated by an Artificial Intelligence developed by Argil.ai and made available to the User "as is". The User Avatar is therefore not a perfect reproduction of the User and is the result of a new technological process currently being developed and perfected. The User acknowledges and accepts that such a User Avatar is a digital representation that may present anomalies and malfunctions and does not constitute a perfect representation of the User. The User accepts that the imported video is used to create the User Avatar intended for the creation of the User Generated Content. However, the User's video is at no point used to train Argil.ai's Artificial Intelligence model but is only used to create the User Avatar intended for the creation of the Generated Content by said User. Once the video has been uploaded to the Personal Space, the User Avatar is then available, and the User may create Generated Content with the User Avatar under the conditions set out in these GTC.
5.2.3.2 Generic Avatar creation
The User is hereby informed that third parties have been engaged and have signed a contract for the creation of Generic Avatars.
5.2.3.3 Creating Generated Content with a User Avatar or Generic Avatar
The User may create, on the Platform, Generated Content featuring their User Avatar or a Generic Avatar. Generated Content is created solely in accordance with the User's written instructions. The User may add images or videos that they have imported onto the Platform, or images or videos made available by Argil.ai.
The User can personalize several elements of the Generated Content, in particular: what they want their User Avatar or the Generic Avatar to say in the Generated Content; the subtitles they wish to appear; the generation language;add images, sounds, videos or transitions.The text supplied by the User will be reproduced - in principle - word for word in the Generated Content to create a personalized video in "9:16" format or in another format depending on the Services offered by Argil.ai. The User may also generate said text automatically by means of an AI on the Platform. In any event, the User must ensure that the content complies with these GTC and with current regulations. However, as the Generated Content is created solely on the basis of information supplied by the User, or under their responsibility, and is the result of a technological process based on Artificial Intelligence, it is possible that the Generated Content diverges from what the User has ordered, or that the Generated Content is not adapted to their needs. IT IS THEREFORE IMPERATIVE THAT THE USER REVIEW THE FINAL RESULT OF THE GENERATED CONTENT TO ENSURE THAT IT MATCHES THE SCRIPT PROVIDED AND THAT THE GENERATED CONTENT COMPLIES WITH THE CONDITIONS OF THE PRESENT GTC AS WELL AS CURRENT REGULATIONS. If the User chooses not to generate the Generated Content, the latter cannot be downloaded by the User. Argil.ai is not responsible for the Generated Content generated by the User, such Content being created according to the User's instructions and User Content. The User is solely responsible for the images, sounds, videos or any other element of the User Content or Generated Content. The generation of Generated Content by the User finalizes the creation of said Generated Content and marks the transfer of ownership of the Generated Content to the User, who becomes responsible for its use and/or reproduction. In any event, Argil.ai shall not be held liable for the deletion of any User Content or Generated Content that does not comply with these GTC or with any legal or regulatory provision. Once generated, the Generated Content is made available to the User in their Personal Space so that they can proceed to download said Content. Such Generated Content is provided to the User in the format specified on the Platform.
5.3 Provisions relating to the supply of services and digital content
The Generated Content ordered by the User is provided to the latter on their Personal Space, making the Generated Content ordered available or accessible, or by any appropriate means to access or download it, in any physical or virtual location chosen by the User.The Services and digital content ordered by the User are provided in their up-to-date version at the date of sale.
Generated Content ordered is usually delivered within a few minutes. Such a timeframe is indicative and Argil.ai cannot be held responsible if this timeframe is not respected.If the Generated Contents ordered have not been delivered on the scheduled date, the User may notify Argil.ai, under the conditions provided for in article L 224-25-11 of the French Consumer Code (if these provisions apply to the User):Either the suspension of payment of all or part of the Price until Argil.ai complies, under the conditions of articles 1219 and 1220 of the French Civil Code;or the cancellation of the sale, after having unsuccessfully given Argil.ai formal notice to perform without unjustified delay or within a reasonable additional period agreed expressly between the Parties.The contract will be considered terminated upon receipt by Argil.ai of written notice of such termination, unless it has been performed in the meantime.Rescission may be immediate if Argil.ai refuses to perform or if it is clear that it will not be able to deliver the Generated Content ordered, or if the delay in delivery was, for the User, an essential condition of the sale.In the event of cancellation of the sale, the sums paid by the User will be returned to them at the latest within fourteen days of the date of cancellation of the contract, without prejudice to the possible award of damages to the User.
5.4 New Services

To create a Personal Space, the User must:complete the fields required on the online form accessible via the dedicated section and provide the information requested, specifically:e-mail address, password, password confirmation.If this information is not provided, the User's Personal Space will not be created, and they will not be able to benefit from the Services requiring the prior creation of such a Personal Space. In general, the User attests to the truthfulness and accuracy of the information transmitted when creating their Personal Space, and Argil.ai shall have the right to hold the User or any person involved liable in the event that the information transmitted is false, inaccurate or misleading. The User must provide their real identification information (e.g. real name).
7.1.1 Conditions for creating a Personal Space
A Personal Space can only be held by one person (whether a natural person or a legal entity), and each person (whether a natural or legal person) can only hold one Personal Space. In the case of a legal person, only individuals authorized by the legal entity may access and use the Personal Space. Any person (natural or legal person) wishing to open a Personal Space must have full legal capacity to do so, and to enter into commitments under these GTC. In this respect, any natural person acting on behalf of a legal entity is guaranteed to have all the rights and authorizations necessary to validly bind said legal entity. Moreover, to open a Personal Space, an individual must be at least 18 years old.It is the User's responsibility to ensure compliance with these conditions.The content of the aforementioned section and the conditions of eligibility or restrictions on the creation of a Personal Space are subject to change at any time and without notice, at Argil.ai's sole discretion, particularly but not exclusively in order to comply with legislative or regulatory obligations. Argil.ai shall not be held responsible for the consequences of any restrictions (such as refusal to create a Personal Space, suspension or even closure/deletion of the User's Personal Space), even new ones, which may relate to the User's country of residence, nationality or registered office, or which may result from legislative or regulatory obligations.
7.1.2 Prohibitions
The creation or opening of a Personal Space is forbidden to any User whose Personal Space has previously been closed by Argil.ai as a result of the termination of these GTC for fault on the part of the User.The User who requests the creation of their Personal Space guarantees that their use of the Platform and Services will not expose Argil.ai to sanctions and that such use will not violate any applicable law or regulation, in particular with regard to the fight against terrorism, corruption or money laundering.The User also guarantees particularly:not to be subject to any prohibition on using the Services resulting, in particular, from legislative or regulatory provisions or from an administrative or judicial decision, for example;not to submit, upload or distribute any Content or data on the Platform without possessing the necessary rights or having obtained all the required authorizations;not to use a Personal Space that does not belong to them;not to develop a business in competition with Argil.ai, using the Services via API.Any breach by the User of the stipulations of the present article "Creation of a Personal Space" constitutes a serious breach likely to result in the termination without notice of the GTC to the exclusive detriment of the User and the definitive prohibition for the User to access and use the Platform and the Services.Furthermore, the Company reserves the right to refuse the creation of a Personal Space by a User who does not comply with or does not respect the terms and conditions set out in the present article "Creation of a Personal Space", and more generally in these GTC, as well as to temporarily suspend or close/delete the User's Personal Space under the conditions set out in the articles "Suspension of the Personal Space" and "Closure and deletion of the Personal Space" herein.
7.2 Confidentiality and security of Identifiers and Personal Space
The creation of a Personal Space requires the User to choose Personal Space connection Identifiers which are personal, unique (i.e., not used on other websites), and which will be necessary to access said Personal Space. To this end, the User will be asked to choose an identification or login (i.e., their e-mail address) and a password which must comply with the required format and characteristics as indicated on the online form requesting the creation of their Personal Space.The User is solely responsible for preserving the confidentiality of their Identifiers, which are strictly personal to them, and undertakes to take all useful measures to ensure this complete confidentiality, and in particular to change their password regularly (i.e., at least every 6 months). The User is also required to keep their Identifiers confidential and to protect them against any access by or disclosure to third parties. The User is solely responsible for the strictly personal use of their Identifiers and guarantees this to Argil.ai. The User's Identifiers may be reinitialized at any time at the User's initiative or at Argil.ai's initiative, subject to prior notice to the User (it being specified that in all cases this reinitialization must of course be carried out by the User, even if it is Argil.ai's initiative).In the event of loss or theft of a password, or in the event of unauthorised access to the User's Personal Space, the User shall immediately inform Argil.ai by e-mail at the following address: laodis@argil.ai and follow any instructions that may be communicated by the Company, in particular in order to lock access to the User's Personal Space. The reopening of the User's Personal Space following such a locking request will be subject to the User providing additional information and/or documents in order to verify their identity and the legitimacy of their request to reopen. Argil.ai shall not be held responsible if the User fails to provide the required information and/or documents.The use of the User's Identifiers to connect to their Personal Space and to carry out operations (including Operations) constitutes, as between the Parties, attributable to the User (i) of the Operations carried out on or from their Personal Space, (ii) of any use of the Platform and Services carried out concomitantly with their connection to their Personal Space and (iii) of any fact or act relating thereto.The User is also informed that connection or access to their Personal Space by means of their Identifiers constitutes proof between the Parties of the User's authentication and identifiers, as well as of their identity.Argil.ai makes its best efforts to ensure the security of access to the Services and in particular to the User's Personal Space, and to prevent any unauthorised person from accessing it.
7.3 Suspension of the Personal Space
Without prejudice to the provisions of the "Repudiation - Termination" article herein, Argil.ai reserves the right to suspend access to the User's Personal Space and to suspend the provision of all or part of the Services, ipso jure and without notice, in the event of a breach by the User of its obligations or commitments under these GTC or if Argil.ai considers that there are sufficient grounds for believing that the User may be in breach of its obligations and commitments under these GTC.In addition, such a suspension may take place: in the event of a breach of these GTC;in the event of detection of unusual or suspicious activity on the User's Personal Space, or suspicion of the User's identity;in the event of detection, suspicion or report of unauthorised access to the User's Personal Space;in the event of reasonable suspicion of use of the Platform and/or Services in connection with illegal or fraudulent activities;in the event of a request to this effect by a competent authority (petition, court decision, decision or request by an administrative or judicial authority, ongoing investigation, etc.);if the User fails to provide any additional information or documents requested by Argil.ai;in the event that the User provides and/or disseminates User Content or creates Generated Content that may be qualified as offensive, harmful, misleading, inaccurate, inappropriate, improper or constituting manifestly wrongful conduct on the part of the User (insults, threats, violence, etc.).Suspension of the Personal Space implies the impossibility for the User to connect to it and/or to benefit from the Services / to use the Services requiring such a connection to the Personal Space.Insofar as possible (and unless prohibited by a competent authority or by applicable provisions), Argil.ai undertakes to inform the User of such suspension without delay and to indicate the reasons for such suspension.
Except in cases where the User's Personal Space is suspended at the request of a competent authority, Argil.ai will indicate to the User, by sending an e-mail to the e-mail address provided by the User in their Personal Space, a deadline within which the User will be required to remedy the causes of such suspension (for example, actions to be taken in the event of a breach by the User their obligations or commitments under these GCS, or provision of information and/or documents for analysis by Argil.ai of the situation, etc.). Unless otherwise indicated, this period is 7 (seven) days. Should the User fail to comply with Argil.ai's requests within the time frame communicated by Argil.ai, Argil.ai reserves the right to permanently close the User's Personal Space for misconduct and to terminate these GTC under the conditions set forth in the "Repudiation - Termination" section of these GTC.

In addition, Argil.ai will close and delete the User's Personal Space in the event of termination of these GTC.In this respect, and unless otherwise stipulated in these GTC, the closure of the Personal Space implies the impossibility for the User to connect to it and/or to benefit from the Services / to use the Services requiring such a connection to the Personal Space, as well as the deletion of the said Personal Space.It is further specified that it is the sole responsibility of the User to ensure the conservation and backup of information and documents transmitted by Argil.ai or to Argil.ai, or more generally via the Platform and/or recorded or stored in the Personal Space, Argil.ai not providing conservation, backup or third-party archiving services in this regard.The closure and deletion of a Personal Space, whatever the cause or initiator, will not give rise to any compensation of any kind for the User.
7.4.2 Special situations
If an Operation or other transaction is in progress when the User's Personal Space is closed, Argil.ai reserves the right to cancel this Operation or other transaction before deleting the Personal Space. In the event of the User's death, Argil.ai may proceed with the transfer of the Personal Space to the rightful claimants in execution of a precise and express request to this effect from the rightful claimants and upon presentation of the required supporting documents, subject to the payment of fees applicable to such transfer, the amount of which will be communicated in advance by Argil.ai.
8.1 Service prices

Under article L.221-18 of the French Consumer Code, "the consumer has a period of fourteen days to exercise their right of withdrawal from a contract concluded at a distance, following canvassing by telephone or off-premises, without having to give any reason for their decision or bear any costs other than those provided for in articles L. 221-23 to L. 221-25".As an exception, article L.221-28 of the French Consumer Code specifies the cases in which this right cannot be exercised. In application of these texts, the User acknowledges that they lose their right of withdrawal and expressly accepts that the right of withdrawal cannot be exercised for Artificial Intelligence generation Services on the Platform. The User thus gives their express prior consent so that the execution of the contract begins before expiry of the withdrawal period. Finally, Argil.ai has provided confirmation of the consumer's agreement in accordance with the provisions of the second paragraph of article L. 221-13 of the French Consumer Code.

The consumer may obtain a reduction in the Price by retaining the digital content or digital service, or they may terminate the contract by obtaining a full refund in return for relinquishing the digital content or digital service, if:1° The professional refuses to bring the digital content or service into conformity;2° The compliance of the digital content or service is unjustifiably delayed;3° The digital content or service may not be brought into conformity at no cost to the consumer;4° Bringing the digital content or service into conformity causes major inconvenience to the consumer;5° The non-compliance of the digital content or service persists despite the professional's unsuccessful attempt to bring it into compliance.
The consumer is also entitled to a reduction in price or rescission of the contract where the lack of conformity is so serious as to justify immediate reduction in price or rescission of the contract. In such cases, the consumer is not obliged to ask for the digital content or service to be brought into conformity beforehand.
In cases where the lack of conformity is minor, the consumer has the right to cancel the contract only if the contract does not provide for the payment of a Price.

The consumer also benefits from the legal warranty for hidden defects in application of articles 1641 to 1649 of the French Civil Code, for a period of two years from the discovery of the defect. This warranty entitles the consumer to a price reduction if the digital content or service is retained, or to a full refund in exchange for renouncing the digital content or service.

The same applies more generally in the event that the contractual balance is upset by circumstances which were unforeseeable when the GTC were concluded, even if their execution proves excessively onerous, the User agreeing to bear all the economic and financial consequences and to waive, in this event, the right to invoke the legal regime of unpredictability provided for in the aforementioned article of the Civil Code.
