Malou also offers digital marketing support services using the Application (the “MalouCopilot Services“). The MalouApp Services and the MalouCopilot Services together constitute the “Services“.
These General Terms and Conditions (“the General Terms and Conditions“) define the terms and conditions of use of the Services offered by Malou, as well as the rights and obligations of the parties in this context.
They are accessible and printable at any time on the Client’s Personal Space accessible on the Application. They may be supplemented by specific conditions (the “Quote“), specifying the duration of the contractual commitment, the list of Services subscribed to and their financial conditions, which, in case of contradiction, prevail over the General Terms and Conditions, and together form the contract.
The Application and Services are operated by the company Malou-Food Marketing, a SAS registered with the RCS of Créteil under number 832 965 255, whose registered office is located at 35, avenue du Maréchal de Lattre in Charenton-le-Pont (94220).

The Application and Services are accessible to:
The Application and Services are exclusively intended for professionals, understood as any natural or legal person engaged in a remunerated activity on a non-occasional basis in all sectors of industry and commerce.
Prior to any provision of Services, it is the Client’s responsibility to provide Malou with the necessary information and documents to enable it to identify its needs and expectations.
Based on this information, Malou will establish a Quote that it will send to the Client by email, indicating in particular the duration of the Contract, the content of the Services, and their price.
The Client who wishes to use the Services must validate the Quote within the deadline provided therein, by any useful written means, in particular by email. At the expiration of this deadline, the Quote will be void.
The Client’s acceptance of these General Terms and Conditions is materialized by the signature of the Quote to which they are attached.
This acceptance can only be full and complete. Any acceptance subject to reservation is considered null and void. The Client who does not accept to be bound by these General Terms and Conditions must not access the Application or use the Services.
5.1
The use of the Services requires the Client to register on the Application. The Client must provide all the information marked as mandatory, including their name, first name, professional email address and password. The Client acknowledges and accepts that the email address entered on the registration form constitutes their login ID.
In the context of MalouCopilot Services, the Client’s registration on the Application will be carried out directly by Malou.
Any incomplete registration will not be validated.
Registration results in the opening of an account in the name of the Client (the “Account“), giving access to a personal space (the “Personal Space“) which enables the management of the use of the Services in a form and using the technical means that Malou deems most appropriate to provide said Services.
5.2
The Client guarantees that all information provided in the registration form is accurate, up-to-date, and truthful, and is not misleading in any way.
The Client agrees to update this information in their Personal Space in the event of any changes, so that it always complies with the aforementioned criteria.
The Client is informed and agrees that the information entered for the purpose of creating or updating their Account constitutes proof of their identity. The information entered by the Client is binding on them once it has been validated.
5.3
The Client may access their Personal Space at any time after identifying themselves using their login ID and password.
The Client agrees to use the Services personally and not allow any third party to use them on their behalf or for their account, except for assuming full responsibility for such use.
The Client is equally responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of their login ID and password, and any access to the Application using them is deemed to be carried out by the Client. The Client must immediately contact Malou if they notice that their Account has been used without their knowledge. The Client acknowledges Malou’s right to take all appropriate measures in such a case.
Registration for MalouCopilot Services requires that the Client:
The Services provided herein are subscribed to by the Client in the form of a subscription (the “Subscription”), the start date and duration of which are indicated in the Quote (the “Initial Period”).
This subscription will then be tacitly renewed for periods of the same duration as the Initial Period, unless terminated by either party by registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt at least one month before the expiration of the Initial Period.
Once the Subscription is renewed, it may be terminated by either party, subject to at least one month’s notice prior to the expiration of the relevant period, without prejudice to other termination methods provided in the General Conditions.
In any case, termination of the Subscription is made by email and takes effect at the end of the Subscription period during which the request is sent.

Malou offers the Client technical support accessible by email at the following address: contact@malou.io, allowing him/her to report any difficulty encountered during the use of the Services.
Malou reserves the right to offer any other Service that it deems useful, in a form and with features and technical means that it deems most appropriate for providing said Services.

The Price for the Services may be revised by Malou, effective upon the automatic renewal of the Subscription in accordance with the terms provided under “Duration”.
Malou agrees to inform the Client of any modification to the Prices by any written means at least 2 months before the new rates become effective.

The parties undertake, each for its part, to comply with all legal and regulatory obligations incumbent upon them with regard to the protection of personal data, in particular, Law No. 78-17 of January 6, 1978 in its latest modified version, known as the Data Protection Act, and EU Regulation 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of April 27, 2016 (together, the “Applicable Regulations“).
For the purpose of managing the contractual relationship between the parties, each party processes the personal data of its counterparts at the other party as a data controller within the meaning of the Applicable Regulations, for the duration of the General Conditions. This processing is necessary for the proper performance of the General Conditions.
General and relates only to identification data (including name, first name, email address, phone number) of the parties involved. This data is kept for the strictly necessary duration for the management of contractual relations between the parties.
The personnel of the parties, their control services (auditor in particular), and their subcontractors may have access to the personal data collected.
This processing may give rise to the exercise by the parties’ interlocutors of their rights provided for by the applicable Regulation, namely: (i) to obtain communication and, where appropriate, rectification or erasure of their data, (ii) to request erasure or limitation of processing, (iii) to object to processing for legitimate reasons, (iv) to request portability of their data in order to retrieve and store it, and (v) to file a complaint with a competent supervisory authority.
1 Description of the subcontracted processing
As part of the Services, Malou may process personal data on behalf and for the account of the Client as a subcontractor, while the Client acts as the data controller within the meaning of the applicable Regulation. The characteristics of the processing are described in Annex 1 of the General Terms and Conditions.
1 Malou’s obligations towards the Client
Malou undertakes to process personal data only for the purposes listed in Annex 1 and in accordance with the Client’s documented instructions, including with regard to the transfer of data outside the European Union. Malou undertakes to inform the Client if she believes that an instruction constitutes a violation of the applicable Regulation. In addition, if Malou is required to transfer data to a third country or an international organization, under the law applicable to the General Terms and Conditions, she must inform the Client of this legal obligation before the processing, unless the concerned law prohibits such information for important reasons of public interest.
Malou undertakes to implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure the security and integrity of personal data, their backup, and the restoration of their availability in the event of a physical or technical incident. Malou also ensures that persons authorized to process personal data are bound by the obligation to preserve their confidentiality.
Malou is authorized to use subcontractors (the “Subsequent Subcontractor”) listed in Annex 1 of the General Terms and Conditions to carry out specific processing activities. In the event of a change in the list of authorized Subsequent Subcontractors, Malou shall inform the Client in writing in advance. This information shall clearly indicate the subcontracted processing activities, the identity and contact details of the Subsequent Subcontractor. The Client has a period of fifteen (15) days from the date of receipt of this information to present its legitimate and motivated objections. In the absence of objections within this period, the Client shall be deemed to have accepted the use of the Subsequent Subcontractor. In the event of persistent objections by the Client, the parties shall meet in good faith and use their best efforts to discuss a resolution. Malou may choose (i) not to use the Subsequent Subcontractor or (ii) to take the corrective measures requested by the Client in the context of the objections raised and to use the Subsequent Subcontractor. If neither option is reasonably possible, and if Malou cannot use another subcontractor for legitimate reasons for the envisaged processing, either party may terminate the General Terms and Conditions upon thirty (30) days’ notice.
The Subsequent Subcontractor is required to comply with the obligations set forth in the General Terms and Conditions on behalf of and according to the Client’s instructions. It is the responsibility of Malou to ensure that the Subsequent Subcontractor provides sufficient guarantees regarding the implementation of appropriate technical and organizational measures so that the processing meets the requirements of the applicable regulations. If the Subsequent Subcontractor fails to fulfill its obligations regarding data protection, Malou remains fully responsible to the Client for the Subsequent Subcontractor’s performance of its obligations.
Malou is authorized to transfer personal data processed under the General Terms and Conditions to countries located outside the European Union, subject to the implementation of appropriate safeguards as defined in Chapter V of the aforementioned regulation.
Malou undertakes to assist the Client and respond promptly to any information requests made by the Client, whether in the context of a request to exercise the rights of the data subjects, an impact analysis, or a request from data protection authorities or the Client’s data protection officer.
Malou undertakes to notify the Client as soon as possible after becoming aware of any personal data breach relating to the processing covered by this Agreement, and to provide the Client with any useful information and documentation relating to such breach.
Malou undertakes, at its option, to delete the personal data at the end of the Agreement or to return it to the Client and not to retain any copy of it, unless required by applicable Regulations.
Malou shall provide the Client, at the latter’s request, with all information and documents necessary to demonstrate compliance with its obligations and to enable audits to be carried out. The Client may therefore carry out audits once a year, at its own expense, in order to verify Malou’s compliance with the obligations set out in this article. The Client shall inform Malou of the audit at least two (2) weeks in advance. Malou reserves the right to refuse the identity of the auditor if he or she belongs to a competing company. The audit shall be carried out during Malou’s business hours and in a manner that minimizes disruption to its activities. The audit shall not in any way prejudice (i) the technical and organizational security measures deployed by Malou, (ii) the security and confidentiality of the data of other Malou clients, and (iii) the proper functioning and organization of Malou’s production. To the extent possible, the parties shall agree in advance on the scope of the audit. The audit report shall be sent to Malou to allow it to provide any written observations or comments, which shall be annexed to the final version of the audit report. Each audit report shall be considered confidential.
1 Obligations of the Client vis-à-vis Malou:
– The Client undertakes to:
Neither Party shall be held liable for any failure to perform its contractual obligations if such failure is due to an event beyond its control and constituting force majeure, as defined in Article 1218 of the French Civil Code.
Force majeure shall include, in particular, the occurrence of an event presenting the characteristics of unpredictability and irresistibility usually recognized by French law and courts, as well as strikes, terrorist activities, riots, insurrections, wars, government actions, epidemics, natural disasters or a third-party telecommunications provider’s fault.
The impeded party shall inform the other party as soon as possible, indicating the nature of the force majeure event. The parties shall work together to determine the most appropriate means to remedy, if possible, the consequences of the force majeure event(s).
If the force majeure event persists for more than 3 months, each party may terminate the Subscription, automatically, without any judicial formality, without notice and without any right to compensation of any kind, by sending a registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt having immediate effect.
If, as a result of a force majeure event, the affected party is prevented from fulfilling only part of its contractual obligations, it remains responsible for performing the obligations not affected by the force majeure event, as well as its payment obligations.
Upon cessation of the force majeure event, the impeded party must inform the other party immediately and resume performance of the affected obligations within a reasonable time.
The parties expressly authorize each other to use their respective names, trademarks, and logos as well as references to their websites as commercial references, on any media and in any form whatsoever, during the Subscription term and for 3 years after its termination.
Malou shall in no event be held responsible for the technical availability of websites operated by third parties (including its possible partners) to which the Client may have access through the Application.
Malou assumes no responsibility for the contents, advertisements, products, and/or services available on such third-party sites, which are governed by their own terms of use.
Malou is also not responsible for any transactions between the Client and any advertiser, professional or merchant (including its possible partners) to which the Client may be directed through the Application and shall in no event be party to any disputes that may arise with these third parties concerning, in particular, the purchase of products and/or services, warranties, statements, and other obligations to which these third parties are subject.
Malou reserves the right to insert any advertising or promotional messages on any page of the Application and in any communication with Clients in a form and under conditions solely determined by it.
Malou reserves the right to use subcontractors to carry out the Services. In this case, Malou undertakes to ensure that its subcontractors comply with the same contractual obligations as those to which it is subject under these General Terms and Conditions.
The parties expressly acknowledge and agree that, in the event that these subcontractors are required to process personal data, the provisions of the “Personal Data” article shall apply.
Malou declares that it complies with the applicable tax and social legislation, that it is up to date with the payment of social contributions, and that it is able to provide proof of compliance with the various obligations applicable in this regard, at the request of the Client. Malou must provide the Client, upon request and as often as necessary until the end of its Subscription, with the following documents:
Malou reserves the right to modify these General Terms and Conditions at any time. The Client will be informed of these modifications by any means deemed appropriate.
The Client who does not accept the modified general terms and conditions must terminate its Subscription in accordance with the “Duration” article.
Any Client who uses the Application or Services after the entry into force of the modified general terms and conditions is deemed to have accepted these modifications.
The General Terms and Conditions are subject to French law and will be governed and interpreted in accordance with this law.
In the event of a dispute between the parties concerning their validity, interpretation, or execution, the parties will endeavor to settle their dispute amicably. In the absence of an amicable agreement within
the month following the first notification sent by one party to the other concerning the dispute in question, by any written means, it will be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Paris (France), unless there is a contrary imperative procedural rule.
The version of the General Terms and Conditions in French takes precedence over other versions in the event of a contradiction or dispute over the meaning of a term or provision.”
