1. ORDERING SERVICES

1.1. Client Account

The Client must have a valid Client Account to order ScoobyMedia Services. The Client
creates its Client Account online on ScoobyMedia Website. The Client shall provide all the required
information (email address, name, address, bank details, etc.), and undertakes to provide correct and up
to date information throughout the entire duration of the Contract. When a Client Account is created and
used by a person acting in the name and on behalf of the Client, such person warrants that it has full
power and authority to represent, enter into and perform this Contract on behalf of the Client.

1.2. Account Activation. 

Prior to the activation of the Client Account, as well as at any time while the Contract
is in effect, ScoobyMedia reserves the right to verify the accuracy of the Client information, and to request
supporting documentation from the Client. ScoobyMedia reserves the right not to activate, or to deactivate,
the Client Account should any information provided by the Client be incomplete, inaccurate, or
fraudulent.

1.3 Orders. 

Once the Client Account has been activated by ScoobyMedia, the Client can order Services.
Depending on Services, Orders can be placed through ScoobyMedia Website and/or directly through the
Client’s Management Interface and/or by using an API that ScoobyMedia may provide for that purpose. The
Client is solely responsible for the management of its Client Account and associated authentication
credentials (user names, passwords, etc.). Any Order placed through the Client Account is deemed to have
been submitted by and be binding on the Client thereby agreeing to be unconditionally bound by the
Terms of Service. The conditions and timeframes for the provision of Services vary depending on the
Service ordered. Some Services are made available only upon receipt by ScoobyMedia of the corresponding
payment from the Client in advance for the Services. It is the Client’s responsibility to ensure that the
delivery terms for the ordered Services meet its needs.

1.4. Account Closing. 

Client may request to close its Client Account through Client Management Interface by
opening a support ticket. A Client Account can only be closed once all associated Services have been
terminated and paid for until their termination. Should the Client Account not be active for more than 24
months, for instance if no associated Services are used during that period, ScoobyMedia may decide to close
that Client Account. In that event, Client will be informed of its Client Account inactivity and will be invited
to log back on its Account within the next 30 days. Should the Client fail to do so, the Account will be
closed. Once the Client Account has been closed, it cannot be reactivated and all the data associated to
that Client Account will be deleted, save for ScoobyMedia’s right to archive certain data to comply with its
legal obligations and defend its rights pursuant to ScoobyMedia personal information policy.

such as personality rights, copyrights, patents, trademarks or other intellectual property rights) within
the scope of Services is prohibited, and can lead, at ScoobyMedia discretion, to immediate suspension of
all or part of the Services, the deactivation of the Client Account and/or the termination of the Contract
by ScoobyMedia, without prejudice to other rights and remedies ScoobyMedia may have under the Contract
or at law.

stake” to verify transactions in the blockchain, provided always such mechanism does not fall under the
restriction set forth in paragraph (a) above.

violation of the rights of a third party, and more generally, of any use which may trigger the liability of

5/23

ScoobyMedia. Except for request issued by a legal authority or competent judicial authority requests or for
noncompliance with the Terms of Service, ScoobyMedia shall endeavour to minimise the suspension
impact on the normal operations of the Services. Any such suspensions shall in no way release the
Client from its obligation to pay the full amounts due to ScoobyMedia under the Contract, which is without
prejudice to the Client’s right set forth in article “Liability” hereafter if such suspensions result from
ScoobyMedia’s failure to fulfil its obligations. Client can consult the maintenance schedule using the
interface provided for this purpose. In the event any such suspension results from Client’s failure to
fulfil its obligations under the Contract, the suspension shall take place without prejudice to
ScoobyMedia’s right to terminate the Contract in accordance with article “Duration, Renewal and
Termination of Services” hereafter, and without prejudice to ScoobyMedia's other rights and remedies at
law. Except in cases of termination or nonrenewal of Services, suspensions of Services shall not result
in the deletion of Client’s data. Unless suspensions result exclusively from ScoobyMedia’s failure to fulfil
its obligations, the duration of the aforementioned suspensions shall not be deemed as unavailability
of Services in application of the service level agreement provided in the Contract.

3.8.

Updates to Services. ScoobyMedia may, at its sole discretion, modify the Services at any time, and add,
modify or remove Services ranges, options or features, as well as upgrade their performance. Services
are described online on the ScoobyMedia Website. The Client is responsible for keeping abreast of any
updates to the Services, which are immediately applicable to any new Orders. Concerning the Services
in use by the Client, the latter shall be informed by email or via its Management Interface of any
substantial updates which are of a nature to downgrade said Services, at least thirty (30) calendar days
before their implementation. Nevertheless, modifications to Third Party Products and in urgent cases
(such as security risks, or legal or regulatory compliance updates) may result in immediate
modifications to the Services. Subject to the article “Condition Specific to Consumers”, in case of an
update downgrading existing Services in use by the Client (removal of functionality, performance
downgrade, etc.), the Client may terminate the relevant Services by registered letter with
acknowledgment of receipt, or through a specific form provided in its Management Interface, within
thirty (30) days from the date the relevant update is implemented.

Contract remain the exclusive property of ScoobyMedia or the third parties which have granted the rights
to use them. ScoobyMedia grants the Client a non-exclusive license to use the said items only in accordance
with and for the duration of the present Contract. With the exception of the aforementioned items made
available to the Client by ScoobyMedia in the provision of the Services, the Client remains solely
responsible for acquiring all of the authorisations and usage rights for the elements and Content (data,
software, applications, systems, websites, etc.) which it uses and operates in relation to the Services.

this clause cease to be accurate in any respect at any time during the term of this Contract.

3.10.3.

performance of such obligation would breach Sanctions applicable to ScoobyMedia or expose ScoobyMedia to any
risk of enforcement action or punitive or restrictive measures or other adverse action under Sanctions.

3.10.4.

In the event that:
a) the Client breaches any provisions of this clause;
b) the representations and/or warranties set out in this clause cease to be accurate in any respect at any
time during the term of this Contract; or

written notice to the Client upon such terms and with such effect as specified by ScoobyMedia in such
written notice. ScoobyMedia reserves the right to refuse Orders submitted (a) from countries subject to
Sanctions, or (b) by citizens of those countries or individuals subject to Sanctions.
3.11. Third Party Products. Subject to specific commitments undertaken within the scope of the applicable
Specific Terms of Service,

(a) ScoobyMedia is not responsible for Third Party Products made available
within the scope of the Services which may contain technical errors, security vulnerabilities,
incompatibilities or instabilities, and offers no guarantee for the Third Party Products made available
by ScoobyMedia to the Client in the provision of the Services (including all related information and items
such as software, systems, applications, etc.), and

(b) the Client is only authorised to use the Third Party
Products made available to it by ScoobyMedia in accordance with the terms of the Contract, and in
particular is forbidden from decompiling, accessing the source code, reinstalling the Third Party
Products on any other infrastructure software or systems made available to Client. The Client uses the
Third-Party Products entirely at its own risk, in accordance with these Terms of Service, and is
responsible to ensure that such Services are suited to its needs and the purposes for which it uses them.

3.12.

Services Continuity and Reversibility. Unless provided otherwise in the Specific Terms of Service,
the termination of Services for any reason whatsoever (including without limitation, the Contract or
Services termination or non-renewal, failure to comply with the Terms of Service, etc.), as well as
certain operations to update or reinstall the Services, shall automatically result in the irreversible
deletion of all Content (including information, data, files, systems, applications, websites, and other
items) that is reproduced, stored, hosted, collected, transmitted, distributed, published and more
generally used and/or operated by the Client in connection with the Services, including any potential
backup. Before the termination or expiry of the Services, and before proceeding with any deletion,
update or reinstallation of Services, the Client is solely responsible to perform any operations (such as
backup, transfer to a third party solution, Snapshots, etc.) which are necessary to safeguard its own
Content. Upon Client’s request, and subject to the provisions of article “Confidentiality” below,
ScoobyMedia will provide technical information regarding the Services so as to facilitate Client’s
reversibility operations and Content recovery. Such assistance may result in additional charges for time
worked, based on the financial terms available on ScoobyMedia Website or upon request to ScoobyMedia
Support. However, ScoobyMedia does not proceed to any operation of restitution or Client’s Contents
migration. Such operations are under the Client’s exclusive responsibility. Except for (i) any data that
ScoobyMedia must keep in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, (ii) personal data set forth in

7/23

the “Data Processing Agreement” Appendix and (ii) any data necessary to defend its rights, ScoobyMedia
will not to keep a copy of the Client's data following the termination of Services, unless otherwise
agreed by the Parties or provided otherwise in the applicable Specific Terms of Service.
3.13. Penetration Tests. The Client may, directly or through a duly appointed third party auditor of its choice,
carry out penetration tests on the Services (hereinafter "Penetration Test(s)") without prior notification
of ScoobyMedia. These Penetration Tests shall be carried out in accordance with the laws and regulations
in force. The Client shall obtain the authorisation of the Users and rights holders within the scope of
the test. Should the Client have these Penetration Tests performed by a third party auditor, their
agreement shall include all the conditions of this article. The Client declares and warrants to ScoobyMedia
that all the conditions for conducting the Penetration Tests stipulated herein will be respected,
including by the auditor who acts under the full responsibility of the Client.

Under no circumstances shall the Penetration Tests

(a) target other ScoobyMedia target elements and
ScoobyMedia Infrastructures other than those used exclusively by the Client (including but not limited to
ScoobyMedia shared infrastructure, networks and services),

(b) disrupt the proper functioning of the
Services and ScoobyMedia infrastructure and networks and/or

(c) have any impact on the Services,
resources, networks and infrastructure provided by ScoobyMedia to other clients. Any attempt to intrude
into environments or systems used by other ScoobyMedia clients is expressly prohibited.
The Client is solely responsible for all consequences that may result from the performance of the
Penetration Tests, including when carried out by a third party auditor. Client is sole responsible to carry
out or to have carried out in advance, all necessary backups to prevent any data loss and to restore and
to be able to continue to use the target elements of the Penetration Tests (systems, applications, data,
etc.),

should an incident occur during the Penetration Tests.
Client is informed that if, within the framework of the Services, protection mechanisms, such as
systems to prevent the sending of fraudulent or massive mail (SPAM) or against computer attacks by
denial of service (DOS or DDOS), have been put in place, these mechanisms will not be deactivated for
the Penetration Tests, and may therefore result in the unavailability of the Services. The Client is
responsible for informing any person likely to be affected by such unavailability.
Upon completion of the Penetration Tests, a written audit report will be drawn up and communicated
to ScoobyMedia upon first request or whenever it is of interest to ScoobyMedia(in particular in the event of a
flaw or vulnerability in ScoobyMedia's Services or Infrastructures, or that could impact other ScoobyMedia
clients).

The audit report, its contents, and more generally all information disclosed or collected in the course
of the audit and concerning, directly or indirectly, ScoobyMedia, are considered strictly confidential, and
may under no circumstances be published or disclosed to third parties without ScoobyMedia's prior
written consent.
In the event of non-compliance by the Client and/or the third party auditor with all or part of the terms
and conditions of this article, ScoobyMedia reserves the right to immediately suspend access to its
Services, without prejudice to any damages ScoobyMedia may claim.
4. MEASURES TO PREVENT SPAMMING FROM ScoobyMedia'S NETWORK
4.1. Traffic monitoring measures. ScoobyMedia implements technical measures intended to prevent the
sending of fraudulent emails and spam from its Infrastructure. ScoobyMedia monitors outgoing traffic
from the Service towards port 25 (SMTP server) on the Internet, involving monitoring traffic by means
of automatic tools. The outgoing traffic referred in this paragraph shall be monitored by ScoobyMedia
with a delay of a few seconds, rather than being filtered or intercepted. These operations shall be

8/23

conducted by ScoobyMedia concurrently and not, under any circumstances directly between the Services
and the internet. ScoobyMedia will not conduct any tagging of e-mails, and will not modify e-mails sent
by the Client in anyway whatsoever. No information shall be stored by ScoobyMedia during these
operations aside from statistical data. The operation in this paragraph shall be conducted regularly
and in a fully-automated manner by ScoobyMedia without any human intervention involved in the
monitoring of traffic to port 25 (SMTP port).

4.2

Blocking e-mails identified as spam. Should e-mail be identified by ScoobyMedia as spam or
fraudulent e-mails be sent from the Client’s server,, ScoobyMedia shall inform the Client by e-mail and
block the Server’s SMTP port.

4.3.

Unblocking conditions. The Client may request the unblocking of the SMTP port through the
Management Interface. Any new e-mail identified as spam will entail a new blocking of the SMTP port
by ScoobyMedia for a longer period of time determined at ScoobyMedia’s reasonable discretion. Upon the third
SMTP blocking, ScoobyMedia reserves the right to deny any further request to unblock the SMTP port.
4.4 Data. ScoobyMedia does not keep any copy of e-mails sent from the Service's SMTP port, even when they
are identified as spam.

5. MITIGATION (protection against DOS and DDoS attacks)
5.1

Protection Measures. ScoobyMedia implements protection against DOS and DDoS-type (Distributed
Denial of Service) hacking attempts if these attacks are considered to be serious enough by ScoobyMedia
to justify such protection. In implementing such protection, ScoobyMedia shall use reasonable endeavors
to ensure that the operation of the Client’s Services is maintained throughout the duration of a DOS
or DDoS attack. These measures involve monitoring the traffic sent to the Client’s Services from
outside ScoobyMedia’s network. Traffic identified as illegitimate shall then be rejected by ScoobyMedia prior
to reaching the Client’s Infrastructure, thus allowing legitimate users to access the applications
offered by the Client in spite of the attack.

5.2.

Scope of the protection. The protection measures outlined in this article shall not apply in the case
of attacks such as SQL injection, brute-force, abuse of security vulnerabilities, or attacks of a similar
nature to the latter. Given the high technicality of the measures, ScoobyMedia responsibility is limited to
provide reasonable endeavors and certain attacks may not be detected by the protection measures
implemented by ScoobyMedia. The Infrastructure and the Service may be temporarily suspended and
unavailable. Given the nature of a potential DOS or DDoS attack and their complexity, ScoobyMedia may
implement different levels of traffic protection in order to preserve its Infrastructure and the Services.

5.3.

Detection of the attack. The mitigation of a DOS or DDoS attack is activated only upon detection of
the attack by ScoobyMedia. Thus, until the mitigation is activated, the Service will face the attack directly,
which may lead to the temporary unavailability of the Service. Mitigation is activated for an undefined
period of time and automatically deactivated once the attack and illegitimate traffic have ended.
While mitigation is activated, ScoobyMedia does not guarantee the accessibility of the Client’s
applications but it shall endeavour to limit the impact of a DOS or DDOS attack on the Client’s Services
and on ScoobyMedia’s Infrastructure. If, in spite of the activation of mitigation, a DOS or DDOS attack is
of such a nature as to adversely affect the integrity of ScoobyMedia’s Infrastructure or the infrastructure
of the other ScoobyMedia clients, ScoobyMedia will strengthen its protection measures which may lead to
the deterioration of the Client’s Services or impacting its availability for which ScoobyMedia shall not be

9/23

liable. All or part of the traffic generated by the attack may not be detected by ScoobyMedia and may
therefore impact Client’s Services.

5.4. Client’s configuration. The effectiveness of the mitigation depends also on the appropriate
configuration of the Client’s Services. In this regard, the Client must ensure that it has the adequate
resources to administer the configuration of the Client’s Services properly. The Client shall be solely
responsible for ensuring it secures its Services, implementing security tools (firewall, etc.),
periodically updating their system, backing up their data and for ensuring the security of their
software (scripts, codes etc.).

6. ScoobyMedia SUPPORT

6.1.

ScoobyMedia Support team. ScoobyMedia Support team is responsible for handling Incidents which may
occur in relation to the Services, and to provide the Client, upon request, with information regarding
the Service. Except for the other levels of Support referred to in article 6.4 below, ScoobyMedia Support
is available in English only and information regarding the Services is available during business hours
only. ScoobyMedia infrastructures are monitored 24/7, 365 days a year. To ensure the continuity of such
monitoring on a 24/7/365 basis, ScoobyMedia reserves the right to subcontract part of the Support in
accordance with section “Subcontract” hereunder.

6.2.

Contact ScoobyMedia Support. Client may contact the ScoobyMedia Support by email, using a special form
available in the Management Interface, or during business hours by telephone by calling +44
333552092. ScoobyMedia will create a ticket (“Incident Ticket”) for each request or Incident report
received. The Client will be informed of the creation of the Incident Ticket and its corresponding
number. The Client can access the history and status of its requests and Incidents reported through
its Management Interface. The Client undertakes not to make use of the ScoobyMedia Support wrongfully
or abusively. Before contacting ScoobyMedia Support, the Client must first consult the resources and
information available on the ScoobyMedia Website (user guides, use cases, product documentation, etc.),
and in its Management Interface (reporting, monitoring, etc.). The Client shall not (a) contact the
ScoobyMedia Support for services or products that it has not contracted from ScoobyMedia cloud directly or
(ii) place the ScoobyMedia Support teams in direct contact with its own clients or any other party external
to the Contract. ScoobyMedia reserves the right to refuse to accept any request which does not meet the
aforementioned conditions.

The Client undertakes to adopt an appropriate, cordial and respectful behaviour in its interactions
with ScoobyMedia Support. ScoobyMedia reserves the right to no longer reply to the Client’s requests and to
immediately terminate the Contract in case of abusive, outrageous, or degrading behaviour.
Furthermore, such behaviour may result in legal action taken against the Client, for which purposes
ScoobyMedia may resort to any means of evidence which it deems useful and relevant (extracts of
communications with the Client, screenshots, emails, recording of telephone calls, etc.). Subject to
the other levels of Support referred to in article 6.4 below, ScoobyMedia Support is included in the price
of the Services.

6.3.

Incident handling. In case of malfunction of the Services, the Client shall firstly perform the technical
tests recommended on the ScoobyMedia Website. In the event these tests do not resolve the Incident, the
Client may report the Incident to ScoobyMedia Support as set out above and provide as much information
as possible to facilitate a proper diagnosis. When an Incident is reported, ScoobyMedia Support shall carry
out the necessary investigation to identify the cause of the observed malfunction and establish a
diagnosis. The Client agrees to remain available at all times in order to collaborate with ScoobyMedia on
a proper diagnosis and resolution of the Incident, in particular by providing ScoobyMedia with any
additional information, and by performing all of the necessary tests and verifications. Within the scope

10/23

of Incident handling, ScoobyMedia and its Affiliates are expressly authorized by the Client to connect to
the Client Services at both the hardware and software levels, in order to take any action that is
necessary to perform a diagnosis. This connection may require the Client to perform an action on its
Service. ScoobyMedia will keep the Client reasonably informed of the progress of the operations. If
ScoobyMedia establishes that its Services are available and functioning properly, or that the existence of
the Incident cannot be confirmed, or that the Incident does not fall under the responsibility of
ScoobyMedia, ScoobyMedia shall inform the Client accordingly. In this case, the time spent by ScoobyMedia on
performing the diagnosis and assisting the Client may be charged to the Client as an additional service
provided, based on the fee schedule available on the ScoobyMedia Website or provided to the Client.
ScoobyMedia reserves the right to refuse any assistance if it ascertains, during its investigation, that the
Client is using the Service in violation of the Contract or of any applicable law or regulation. If the
Incident appears to fall under ScoobyMedia’s responsibility, ScoobyMedia will complete the diagnosis and
work to re-establish the availability of the impacted Services. In this case, the work performed by
ScoobyMedia shall not result in any additional charges. The diagnosis shall be established by ScoobyMedia
using any means necessary, and particularly based on exchanges between the Parties and data from
the ScoobyMedia information system (such as login data) which the Client hereby expressly agrees may
be admissible and fully enforceable. Subject to any applicable Specific Terms of Service and other
levels of Support referred to in article 6.4 below, ScoobyMedia does not provide any warranty as to

8. FINANCIAL CONDITIONS

8.1.

Price of Services. The prices of the Services invoiced to the Client are those in effect at the time of
invoicing, as published on ScoobyMedia Website. The prices may also be communicated upon request
sent to ScoobyMedia Support. Unless stipulated otherwise, all prices are in GBP. ScoobyMedia offers
different types of rates depending on the type of Service (monthly flat-rate, yearly flat-rate, per use
pricing, etc.). These rates may be linked to a commitment to a particular Duration and/or a specific
method of invoicing. Should several types of prices be available for the same Service, the Client may
select the one of its choice when submitting its Order. All taxes applicable to the Services (excluding
taxes on ScoobyMedia revenue) shall be added to the price of the Services and due by the Client without
this being deemed a change in the price as set forth by article 8.2 of this Contract. In the absence of a
special pricing scheme, the prices of the Services shall include the cost of acquisition of the licenses
and rights to use the tools, software and Operating Systems used by ScoobyMedia and/or which are
made available to the Client by ScoobyMedia within the scope of the Services. The Client is responsible
for acquiring and fulfilling its obligations in respect of all licenses and usage rights that are necessary
to operate or make use of the Content within the scope of the Services. The methods for calculating
the price of the Services, as well as the billing units, are defined on the ScoobyMedia Website and in the
applicable Specific Terms of Service. The Client is responsible for taking note of this before
submitting its Order. Each billing unit begun shall be invoiced and due in full, even when it is not
totally used. Some Services shall incur additional installation or activation costs.

8.2.

Changes to prices. ScoobyMedia reserves the right to change its prices at any time. Pricing changes are
immediately applicable to any new Orders. If Services are in use at the time of a price increase, the
Client shall be informed of the change by email at least thirty (30) calendar days in advance. In such
a case and subject to article “Conditions Specific to Consumers” the Client has the right to terminate
without penalty the impacted Services within thirty (30) calendar days upon the notification of the
said price increase. Such termination shall be notified by registered letter with acknowledgement of
receipt or through a specific form provided in the Management Interface. In the absence of said
termination, the Client shall be deemed to have accepted the new prices.

8.3.

Invoicing. The Services shall be invoiced based on Client Orders and Services Services as established
by ScoobyMedia in its information system, which shall be deemed as admissible and fully enforceable to
the Client. The periodicity (monthly, yearly, or other) of invoices and the timing of their issuance
(upon ordering or in arrears) varies from one Service to another. The terms of invoicing of the prices
of the Services are defined on the ScoobyMedia Website and in the applicable Specific Terms of Service.
The Client is responsible for taking note of these before submitting its Order. After each payment,
ScoobyMedia shall send the Client an invoice. The Client expressly agrees that this invoice shall be sent
to it electronically. The invoice is sent to the Client by email and/or made available to the Client
through the Management Interface. The Client is responsible for keeping a copy of the invoice in
accordance with regulations in effect. Invoices made available to the Client in the Management
Interface shall remain available for a period of twelve (12) months thereafter.

8.4.

Payment. Depending on the Service, invoices are payable on receipt, it being understood that
invoices are issued either at the time of the Order, or in arrears. The Client is responsible for selecting
its desired payment method amongst the available payment methods in the Management Interface.
The available payment methods may vary from one Service to another and are published on
ScoobyMedia Website. The Client is responsible for taking note of this before submitting its Order. In
relation to Services payable in arrears, ScoobyMedia reserves the right to invoice the Client for said
Services before the end of a calendar month in the event that the total Services consumed by the

14/23

Client during the month in question reach a significant amount. The Client is fully responsible for
payment of Services in accordance with the Contract. The Client undertakes to select a valid payment
method in its Client Account, and to maintain the necessary funds to pay for the Services throughout
the duration of the Contract. Except for the cancellation right set forth in article “Conditions Specific
to Consumers”, the Client remains liable to pay the price in its entirety. Consequently, (i) the Client
waives any right to claim any reimbursement resulting from the non-use, the partial-use, suspension
or cessation of the use of Services before the end of the Service Duration and (2) in the event of split
payment(s) (e.g. monthly, yearly installments), the Client remains liable to pay the price in its entirety
for the whole commitment period subscribed to at the time of the Order. Those provisions are
without prejudice to the Client’s right to engage ScoobyMedia’s liability in accordance with article
“Liability” hereafter in case such situation results from ScoobyMedia’s failure to fulfil its obligations.

8.5.

Default or late payment. In case of default or late payment, including partial payment, ScoobyMedia
may charge the Client (i) late payment penalties from the day following the payment due date and
(ii) interest on the overdue amount at the applicable rate under the Late Payment of Commercial
Debts (Interest) Act 1998, accruing on a daily basis from the due date up to the date of actual
payment, whether before or after judgement. Furthermore, as a result of such default or late payment
persisting for more than (4) calendar days after notification sent to the Client by email, without
requiring any additional notification or formal notice, (a) all of sums remaining due by the Client
under the Contract shall become due regardless of their payment terms, and (b) ScoobyMedia shall have
the right, immediately without prior notice, to suspend and all or part of the Client Services (including
those which have been paid for), to refuse any new Order or renewal of Services and to terminate all
or part of the Contract. In case of default or late payment, business Clients shall also be liable to pay
a fixed recovery fee of 40 (forty) GBP, without prejudice to ScoobyMedia’s right to demand, upon supporting
documents, additional compensation in cases where the recovery fees are greater than the amount
of said fixed recovery fee.

8.6.

Dispute. In the event of any disagreement regarding invoicing or the nature of the Services, the
Client must notify ScoobyMedia Support through its Management Interface within one (1) month of the
date the invoice was issued. In the absence of said notification, and without prejudice to the Client’s
right to contest the invoice later on, the Client shall be liable to settle all unpaid invoices according
to the terms of the Contract. In case of failure to invoice the Services correctly or in the appropriate
timeframe, ScoobyMedia reserves the right invoice or correct the invoicing at any time, subject to any
mandatory applicable limitation.

9. DURATION, RENEWAL AND TERMINATION OF SERVICES

9.1.

Services Duration. The Contract is entered into for an indeterminate period of time and remains in
effect so long as the Client uses the ScoobyMedia Services. The Services duration is stated with the
pricing selected by the Client when submitting its Order (the “Duration”). In case of flat-rate or fixed
sum payments (monthly, annual or other), and subject to Article “Conditions Specific to Consumers”
and section “Termination for breach”, Client undertakes to use the Services throughout the Duration.
In the event of early termination or suspension of Services, Client shall pay for the total price of the
Services without any reduction or refund. In case of payment per use, the Services are made available
for an indeterminate period of time, and the Client may terminate the Services at any time in
accordance with the procedures in effect.

9.2.

Services Renewal. Services renewal conditions vary from one type of Service to another, as set out
in the Specific Terms applicable to such Services. Some Services renew automatically (“Auto-

15/23

Renew”) while others are renewed upon payment in advance by the Client. In cases of Auto-Renew,
Client is responsible for selecting the renewal method of its choosing and the initial commitment
period. For certain Services, the Auto-Renew mode is activated by default. Renewals subject to
advance payment will be automatically rejected in case of default in payment or irregular payment
(incorrect amount, incomplete payment, payment which does not include the required references,
or issued using a method or procedure not accepted by ScoobyMedia). In case of payment by cheque,
Client is responsible to initiate the Services renewal and corresponding payment early enough for the
cheque to be effectively received by ScoobyMedia before the expiry date of the Services. ScoobyMedia
reserves the right to terminate the renewal, notably, with a reasonable prior notice, in case of a
Service’s end of life.

9.3.

Termination for breach. Without prejudice to other termination rights provided in the Contract,
either Party may terminate this Contract with immediate effect by giving written notice to the other
Party if the other Party breaches any provision of this Contract, which breach is irremediable or (if
such breach is remediable) fails to remedy that breach within a period of seven (7) calendar days after
being notified by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt to do so.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in case of malicious, illicit or fraudulent use of the Services, or a
breach of Article 3 “Terms of use of the Services” of these General Terms of Service, or use made in
violation of the rights of a third party, ScoobyMedia shall be entitled to terminate the relevant Services
or the Contract in its entirety with immediate effect by email and without prior formal notice. The
present paragraph shall not be deemed a waiver of ScoobyMedia’s right to suspend or interrupt the
Services in accordance with the provisions of the Contract, particularly in case of non-compliance by
the Client with the Terms of Service. Terminations for breach are without prejudice to any damages
which may be claimed by the injured party.
