3. Subscription to the Service
3.1 Prices and Payments
3.1.1 Subscription and domain name payments are processed via Stripe Payments Europe, Limited (“SPEL”), whose European offices are located at The One Building, 1 Lower Grand Canal Street, Dublin 2, Ireland. This is a third-party payment service provider. As such, no sensitive data will be entered or stored directly on the Platform. The User agrees to provide the information required for their identification to Stripe Payments Europe. By using the payment services, you agree to Stripe's Terms of Service. The subscription and service fees may increase by a maximum of 15% per year. In the event of a price change for an ongoing subscription, the user will be notified at least 2 months in advance, and the new pricing will apply in the next billing cycle. The User may then terminate their commitment as of right without any penalties being imposed on them or any compensation being granted to them. The current prices are as follows:
3.1.2 There is no cost associated with the free Primyos plan. To continue offering this service for free, Primyos reserves the right to display sponsor advertisements on the client's website.
3.1.3 The purchase of a paid Primyos subscription is subject to an annual payment. Annual payments are automatically charged unless otherwise agreed.
3.1.4 Unless explicitly stated otherwise,
all prices quoted by Primyos are exclusive of VAT and any other charges imposed by public authorities.
3.1.5 Payment can be made by credit card, following the payment instructions indicated on the Platform and then on Stripe Payments Europ.
3.1.6 As the service is provided directly and at your explicit request, it is not possible to cancel a payment by invoking the right of withdrawal applied to distance selling.
3.2 Subscription
3.2.1 To subscribe to the Service, the Client must:
Create their Client Account
Validate these General Terms and Conditions of Sale and the General Terms of Use
Place the Service Order by selecting one of the subscription plans presented on primyos.com
Pay the amount due for the first period of the chosen Subscription
3.2.2 The Client's subscription will only be finalized after all the above conditions have been met.
3.2.3 Primyos also reserves the right to refuse the Subscription for any legitimate reason, particularly in the event of an ongoing or past dispute with the Client, or suspicion of fraudulent use of the Service.
3.2.4 Once the Subscription is taken out, it cannot be canceled by the Client, except as provided by law.
3.3 Domain Name
3.3.1 Clients with access to the Premium and Premium+ offers can obtain one or more domain names as an additional annual subscription. For Clients with the Premium+ offer, one domain name is provided for free. This means that the first domain name the Client purchases will be paid for by Primyos, until the Client cancels their Subscription to Primyos or the domain name.
3.3.2 Clients wishing to obtain a domain name must first complete a transaction on the Primyos website through the Stripe Payments Europe provider. Once the transaction is validated, the Client will be redirected to a page that will initiate the domain name registration process with the registrar. Primyos takes care of configuring the domain name so that it can be used with the Primyos Service.
3.3.3 The amount paid by the Client to Primyos during the domain name acquisition process is equivalent to the price at which Primyos acquires the domain name from the registrar, plus a charge to cover Stripe Payments Europe's fees, OVH's fees, and administrative costs including French taxes, per domain name per year. The price displayed by Primyos before accessing the payment process already includes all these additional fees, so the Client knows the total amount in advance.
3.4 Payment Terms
3.4.1 Primyos will electronically invoice the amounts due by the client.
3.4.2 The client must pay the invoice within 14 days of the invoice date, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
3.4.3 If the client has not paid the full invoice within 14 days of the invoice date, they will automatically be considered in default without any additional notification being required.
3.4.4 If the client is in default of payment, the websites hosted for this client may be made inaccessible until the outstanding amounts are paid.
4. Duration of Subscription / Renewal
4.1 The subscription lasts for one year. The Subscription is tacitly renewed upon expiration for an additional year.
4.2 In the event of an automatic renewal, the Service fee corresponding to the renewal of the Contract will be charged on the day of renewal. In case of failure of the first payment, Primyos may proceed with further attempts if necessary. Primyos will inform the Client by email in case of repeated failure or manifest inability to collect the fee.
4.3 Furthermore, in accordance with Article L.215-1 of the Consumer Code, Primyos will inform the Client at least two (2) months before the Subscription's expiration, of the date of its automatic renewal and the possibility to terminate it at the end of the term.
4.4 The contract for the purchase of a domain name begins at the time it is subscribed. If the Client holds a Premium+ subscription level with a free domain name included, the transaction on Primyos only concerns the Subscription to the Primyos Service. Even if free for the Client, the domain name contract will be established once the Client initiates the process from their account. The domain name contract lasts for one year and is tacitly renewed before the end of the contract. If the Client wishes to terminate their domain name contract, they must notify Primyos by email at contact@primyos.com, at least one month before the end of the domain name contract.
5. Subscription Modification and Termination
5.1 The Client can change their Subscription at any time and choose a plan offering different features. In such a case, they must place a new Order on primyos.com. The initial Subscription will then be terminated, and the new Subscription will take effect on the date of the new Order for its specified duration. Any amounts paid in advance by the Client for the initial Subscription will be refunded on a prorated basis.
5.2 A termination request must be made by the Client in writing and sent to Primyos at least one month in advance at the e-mail address contact@primyos.com.
5.3 If the contract is an annually billed Primyos subscription, it will automatically be extended for another year unless it has been prematurely terminated in writing by either party within the 1-month notice period before automatic renewal.
5.4 Following contract termination due to cancellation, Primyos may immediately remove the features provided under a paid subscription. The Client may continue to use Primyos' free service if they wish.
5.5 Subscriptions to Primyos services and domain names are non-refundable.
6. Right of Withdrawal
6.1 In accordance with Article L.221-18 of the Consumer Code, "the consumer has a period of fourteen days to exercise their right of withdrawal from a contract concluded at a distance, following telephone solicitation or outside the business premises, without having to justify their decision or bear any costs other than those provided for in Articles L. 221-23 to L. 221-25." This period starts from the day the distance contract is concluded, i.e., from the day the Services are ordered on the Platform.
6.2 However, in accordance with Article L.221-28 1°{')'} of the same code: "The right of withdrawal does not apply to contracts for the provision of services fully performed before the end of the withdrawal period and whose performance has begun after the consumer's prior express consent and express waiver of their right of withdrawal."
6.3 According to Article L.221-25 of the same code: If the consumer wishes the performance of a service or a contract mentioned in the first paragraph of Article L. 221-4 to begin before the end of the withdrawal period mentioned in Article L. 221-18, the professional must obtain their express request by any means for contracts concluded remotely and on paper or on a durable medium for contracts concluded outside the business premises.
6.4
Therefore, under the aforementioned provisions, the User benefiting from the Service immediately after the transaction expressly declares that they waive their right of withdrawal upon completion of the subscription process, i.e., when the User gains access to the services provided by their subscription level.

In such a case, the provisions of the article "Consequences of Termination of Subscription" will apply.
