Terms of use idloom-events management software

General information

idloom provides its subscribers and their customers with an Internet-based events and accommodation registration platform.

In order to offer its subscribers a high quality of services, the company operates from a platform specifically created for this purpose.

The subscriber wishes to benefit from the “idloom-events” platform for their personal use and that of their sister companies or organisations and their partners.

idloom s.a. places its “idloom-events” platform at the disposal of its subscribers, thus facilitating in particular the creation of online registration for events, conferences and associated accommodations, the management of participants, payments tracking, badges production and a series of useful services connected with the use of this solution.

Terms of use

1. Purpose of the contract

The subscriber receives, in the form of a software licence hosted and a dedicated server hosting the application, full access to the platform for the management of their events.

idloom-events offers subscribers, in the form of a software user licence and the availability of servers on which the software is installed, access to the platform for the management of its online events registration, in accordance with these terms and any amendments, where appropriate.

Use of this platform is reserved strictly to the subscriber, its subsidiaries, sister and partner companies/associations. The subscriber undertakes not to sell the technology made available to it in a form that may compete directly with the idloom-events commercial model. The subscriber will refrain, among other things, from providing access to the platform, in return for payment, to third parties outside any other service directly associated with its main business.

idloom-events undertakes to follow the instructions of the subscriber, in particular in terms of the content of events, the manner in which the information is architectured and, wherever possible, to comply with the subscriber’s requirements.

2. Financial & invoice payment details

1. The online events registration services are invoiced on an advance monthly basis, in accordance with the price plan. Prices are calculated based on making the platform and servers available to the client. Subscribers have an option for which a financial advantage may be negotiated, namely the option of using the idloom-events platform on the basis of a firm commitment to a volume and usage period by paying in advance for the entirety of the service ordered at the time of signing the contract. In a general sense and irrespective of the option chosen, the subscriber undertakes to pay all licence costs and additional service charges envisaged in the contract. 
2. Service prices may be subject to VAT at the rate applicable on the day of provision of the invoiced service. The prices quoted are understood to be exclusive of VAT, which must therefore be added. The subscriber waives the right to receive paper invoices. Invoices must be settled within 30 days of their issue date (invoice date). 
3. Expiry of the 30-day period automatically results in notification of non-payment and constitutes the start date for the calculation of penalty interest at the legal rate (which is currently 8,5%) + 3%. In addition to late-payment interest, failure to pay by the due date shall incur fixed-rate compensation of 15% of the principal sum unpaid. In the event of non-payment, idloom reserves the right to suspend or terminate this contact to the detriment of the subscriber, with all costs payable by the defaulting subscriber. In the event of a recovery procedure proving necessary, in addition to the aforementioned interest and compensation, all costs of administration, notification, consultancy and procedure shall also be payable by the defaulting subscriber. 
4. All complaints should be addressed by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt within no more than eight days of receipt of the service or the date of any disputed invoice. 
5. idloom is entitled to alter the price of its services at any time. In order to allow subscribers who might reject such an increase to terminate the contract, 60 days advance notice shall be given. To do this, the subscriber should request the cancellation of this contract before the end of the 60-day period by way of registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt. The new price shall be regarded as definitively accepted upon expiry of the 60-day notice period.

3. Renewal, cancellation & suspension of the contract

1. The contract is automatically renewed on the expiry date (The expiry date (anniversary date) is calculated from the start date stated and the “licence duration”), for an equivalent duration and under the same conditions (identical tariffs, concurrent events and terms) in the absence of a cancellation request sent by registered letter in accordance with point 3.3 at the latest 3 months before the anniversary date of the contract’s entry into effect.

2. idloom is entitled to suspend all services provided, without prior notice or compensation and in a discretionary manner, in the event of the non-performance by the subscriber of their obligations or the inappropriate use of the services provided, most notably by the repetitive cancellation of events or complaints from participants. In application of a principle of precaution, idloom may suspend or simply terminate, without right of appeal for the subscriber, access to the idloom-events platform in the event of its services being used for illicit purposes by the subscribers or following the receipt of notification from a third party demanding the elimination of certain content, even if it should transpire that this decision was ill-founded. 

3. This contract may be cancelled at any time by sending a registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt generating prior notice of three months commencing on the 1st day of the month following receipt of said registered letter or by joint agreement on the cancellation date. In the event of early termination (any case where the period of prior notice does not end as normal on the contract anniversary date), only the actual usage is taken into account at the pricing plan of the rate card on our website. 

4. Upon expiry of the contract or at the express request of the subscriber, idloom undertakes to destroy all information entrusted to it by the subscriber.
