Except in relation to cases of judicial or legal requisitioning or non-compliance with the Terms of Services, Netcore  shall endeavour to minimise the impact of a suspension on the normal operations of the Services.

Except in cases of termination or non-renewal of Services, suspensions of Services shall not result in the deletion of the Client’s data. Unless suspensions result exclusively of Netcore’s failure to fulfil its obligations, the duration of the aforementioned suspensions shall not count as unavailability of Services in respect with the service level agreement provided in the Agreement.
3.8. Updates to Services. Netcore may modify the Services at any time, and may add, modify or remove ranges, options or features, as well as upgrade their performance. The Services are described online on the Netcore Website. The Client is responsible for keeping abreast of any updates to the Services, which are immediately applicable to any new Orders.

immediate modifications to the Services. Subject to the article “Condition Specific to Consumers”, in case of an update that degrades 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.
3.9. Intellectual property. Usage rights.

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 within the scope of the Services, including any potential backup. Before the termination or expiry of the Services, and before proceeding with any delete operations, 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 the preservation of its own Content. Upon
request from the Client, and subject to the stipulations of the article on “Confidentiality” below, Netcore shall provide any technical information concerning the Services which may facilitate reversibility operations and the Client’s Content recovery. Such provision of assistance may result in additional charges for time worked, based on the financial terms available on the Netcore Website or upon request to Netcore Support.

With the exception of any data which Netcore must

teams in direct contact with its own clients or any other party external to the Contract. Netcore reserves the right to refuse to accept any request which does not meet the aforementioned conditions. The Client undertakes to adopt behaviour that is appropriate, cordial and respectful in its interactions with Netcore Support. Netcore 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.

Subject to the other levels of Support referred to in article 4.4 below, Netcore Support is included in the price of the Services.

Within the scope of Incident handling, Netcore and its Partner Companies 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. Netcore shall keep the Client reasonably well-informed of the progress of the operations. If Netcore 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 Netcore, Netcore shall inform the Client accordingly. In this case, the time spent by Netcore 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 Netcore Website or provided to the Client.

recovery fee.
6.6. Contestation. In the event of any disagreement regarding invoicing or the nature of the Services, the Client must notify Netcore 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.

The duration for which the Client undertakes to use the ordered Services is that which is applicable to the rate selected by the Client when submitting its Order (the “Period of Use”). 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”, the Client undertakes to use the Services during the entire corresponding period.

advance by the Client. In cases where multiple options exist, the Client is responsible for selecting the renewal method of its choosing. For certain Services, the Auto-Renew mode is activated by default. Requests for reissued payment are 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 Netcore). In case of payment reissued by cheque, the Client is responsible to reissue payment early enough for the cheque to be effectively received by Netcore before the expiry date of the Services. Netcore reserves the right to terminate the renewal, notably, with a reasonable prior notice, in case of a Service’s disappearance.
7.3. Termination for breach. Without prejudice to the other cases of termination provided in the Contract, and without affecting any other right or remedy available to it, either Party may terminate this Contract with immediate effect by giving written notice to the other Party if the other Party commits a breach of any term 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, illegal or fraudulent use of the Services, or use made in violation of the rights of a third party, Netcore shall be entitled to terminate the relevant Services or the Contract in its entirety with immediate effect by email and without prior formal notice (provided that, if the Client is a consumer, nothing in this article 7.3 shall affect the Client’s rights under applicable consumer protection law). The present paragraph shall not be considered to be a waiver of Netcore’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.
