Within these Terms of Service and Sales Conditions (hereinafter TOS), the COMPANY, the CREATOR, the VISITOR, and the SUBSCRIBER shall be individually referred to as the “PARTY” and collectively as the “PARTIES.”

Any creation of an account by a USER to access the advanced features of SUPPERHERO constitutes full and unconditional acceptance of these TOS as well as the Privacy Policy.

  1. DESCRIPTION OF SUPPERHERO


3.1. Access to SUPPERHERO

SUPPERHERO is accessible online via the URL www.supperhero.io/ or through the same URL followed by the CREATOR’s “username.” Visitors can view certain public content, but their access is limited to features available to all.

Creating a CREATOR account requires a username and a password, strictly personal, for which the USER is responsible for maintaining confidentiality.

At the time of registration, the CREATOR may connect their social media accounts (Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, etc.) in order to transfer their existing content onto SUPPERHERO and to consolidate all of their content under a single URL created by SUPPERHERO. This will allow SUBSCRIBERS to have access to the entirety of the CREATOR’s content in a single, web-accessible solution.

SUPPERHERO allows:

  • The creation of a CREATOR or SUBSCRIBER account,

Access to SUPPERHERO is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, subject to the occurrence of a force majeure event, any potential breakdown, or any maintenance operations necessary for the proper functioning of SUPPERHERO. In this regard, the COMPANY is obligated to use its best efforts.

USERS acknowledge that the information transmitted or stored on SUPPERHERO may be intercepted or altered independently of the COMPANY’s control.

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in the TOS, USERS acknowledge and agree that the availability of SUPPERHERO is notably linked to the availability of Internet connection services and other Internet functionalities, and that the transmission capacities of the Internet, due to their operational complexity, may be unequal and uncertain. Consequently, the COMPANY shall not be held liable for any failure in fulfilling any representation, warranty, or commitment under these TOS that results from or is related to the unavailability of Internet connection services or other Internet functionalities.


  1. SUBSCRIPTIONS AND FINANCIAL TERMS


4.1. The different types of subscriptions

The CREATOR may condition access to certain content and services on a free (Freemium) subscription which may include, for example:

  • Recipes reserved for Freemium subscribers,

  • Live sessions reserved for Freemium subscribers,

  • The ability to interact with certain content or with the rest of the community.

Certain content or service offers from the CREATORS are available on SUPPERHERO in the form of paid subscriptions, either monthly or annual, the price of which is set by the CREATOR themselves.

These paid subscriptions, called Premium Subscriptions, may include, in particular:

  • Exclusive recipes,

  • Live sessions,

  • Discussion groups,

  • Personalized content or advice,

  • Commercial benefits.


4.2. Subscription and cancellation terms

Subscription to Premium Subscriptions is carried out on SUPPERHERO and will only become effective after payment of the fee, according to the terms described below.

Each monthly Premium Subscription carries no commitment, so it can be cancelled at any time.

Each monthly Premium Subscription is subscribed for one (1) month and automatically renews for periods of the same duration. Any cancellation request made by the SUBSCRIBER must be submitted at least twenty-four (24) hours before the end of the subscription period.

In any case, cancellation of a Premium Subscription will only take effect at the end of the current monthly period. Consequently, the SUBSCRIBER will have access to the CREATOR’s content until the end of the current subscription period and shall not be entitled to any compensation or refund for the current subscription fee.


4.3. Financial Terms


4.3.1. Amount and payment terms

In exchange for the Premium Subscription allowing access to exclusive content, the SUBSCRIBER must pay the subscription fee. This amount is set by the CREATOR and is quoted in euros, excluding taxes.

Payment will be made monthly on SUPPERHERO. All payments by SUBSCRIBERS will be received and processed by a third-party payment provider approved by the COMPANY.

In the event of late payment, the SUBSCRIBER’s account will be suspended for the period between the day following the scheduled payment due date and full settlement of the outstanding subscription fee.

Additionally, the SUBSCRIBER may tip the CREATOR, choosing an amount which they will pay under the same terms as described above.


4.3.2. Company Commissions

After receiving the amounts from Premium Subscriptions and/or tips, the COMPANY will compensate the CREATOR the amount net of a commission which it will retain.

The commission rates charged by the COMPANY are set as follows:

  • Twenty percent (18.5%) excluding tax for a subscription or a one-time purchase;

  • Five percent (5%) excluding tax for a tip.

In any event, the COMPANY retains one point five percent (1.5%) plus twenty-five cents (€0.25) excluding tax per transaction carried out by a SUBSCRIBER on SUPPERHERO.

All taxes will be invoiced in addition at the rate in effect on the date of invoicing.


4.3.3. CREATOR Monetization

To activate monetization, the CREATOR must connect their SUPPERHERO account to a Stripe account, a secure payment provider chosen by the COMPANY. The creation and management of the Stripe account are carried out via the Stripe interface, subject to acceptance of Stripe’s general terms and conditions.

Payments made by users to access content or to support a CREATOR are collected by Stripe. SUPPERHERO charges a commission on each transaction, according to the percentage indicated on the platform at the time of monetization activation.

After deduction of SUPPERHERO’s commission and Stripe’s transaction fees, the funds are transferred directly to the CREATOR’s bank account in accordance with the deadlines and conditions defined by Stripe.

In the event of a breach of the terms of use of SUPPERHERO or Stripe, the CREATOR’s monetization may be suspended or deactivated without notice.

The CREATOR is responsible for ensuring that their activity on SUPPERHERO complies with tax regulations.


  1. COMMITMENTS OF THE PARTIES AND OBLIGATIONS


5.1. Obligations of the CREATOR


5.1.1. Lawfulness of the content disseminated

Although the COMPANY does not intervene in the choice of content and leaves the CREATOR complete freedom to disseminate what they wish, the CREATOR is prohibited from disseminating on SUPPERHERO any content, in whole or in part, likely to harm the interests and/or brand image of the COMPANY or of any third party. The content disseminated by the CREATOR is understood in a broad sense to include posts, live sessions, interactions with SUBSCRIBERS in discussion groups or comment sections, as well as content accessible via affiliate links available through SUPPERHERO.

More specifically, the CREATOR is prohibited from publishing any content, in whole or in part, that:

  • Is not directly related to culinary content, the very essence of SUPPERHERO;

  • Contains insulting, discriminatory, defamatory, sexist, hateful, or otherwise unlawful statements;

  • Infringes upon any rights of third parties, in particular intellectual property rights or personality rights;

  • Contains elements of a pornographic nature, including nudity, with sexual connotations or otherwise inappropriate;

  • Contains elements of a polemical or political nature;

  • Contains elements that in any way disparage the COMPANY or any third party;

  • Contains misleading elements regarding the actual quality of the products and services showcased;

  • Promotes cosmetic surgery or aesthetic medicine, certain financial products or services, nicotine pouches, subscriptions to advice or sports betting, involving non-domestic animals (with the exception of authorization granted to zoological parks) or any other content now prohibited under Law 2023-451 of 9 June 2023;

  • Does not comply with the regulations provided for by Law 2023-451, notably regarding the promotion of medical devices or products containing nicotine, which must be clearly, legibly, and identifiably displayed;

  • Does not display the statement “not for persons under eighteen” in relation to the promotion of gambling and games of chance;

  • Fails to specify the presence of filters, retouching (by the statement “edited images”), or AI-generated images (by the statement “virtual images”);

  • Contains elements aimed at promoting or presenting in a favorable and attractive manner the consumption of alcohol, in accordance with the law of 10 January 1991 relating to the fight against smoking and alcoholism.

In any event, the CREATOR remains solely responsible for the content they disseminate and warrants that they are the sole owner or, at the very least, possess all dissemination rights. The CREATOR must be able to demonstrate to the COMPANY, by any means and upon first request, their ownership of the rights to the content they disseminate. The CREATOR shall be solely responsible for any claims by third parties asserting ownership of any part of the disseminated content.

The COMPANY informs the CREATOR that they must be completely transparent about the commercial nature of the content when it is disseminated in exchange for monetary compensation or any commercial benefit. The CREATOR must also make the identity of their commercial partner easily identifiable, in a clearly perceptible and accessible manner for the public.

The commercial nature of the content must be highlighted in clear and accessible terms; terms such as “sponso”, “collab”, or anglicisms such as “ad” or “product review” are not sufficiently clear according to digital advertising regulations.

Since the Law of 9 June 2023, the omission of the statement “advertising” / “commercial collaboration” is sanctioned pursuant to Article L.121-2 relating to deceptive commercial practices.

However, the COMPANY cannot be held responsible for the CREATOR’s failure to comply with this commitment, as the CREATOR remains fully responsible for their actions.


5.2. Obligations of the SUBSCRIBER

In addition to paying the subscription fee upon due date, the SUBSCRIBER is obligated to:

  • Exhibit reasonable behavior on SUPPERHERO, refraining from posting insulting, discriminatory, defamatory, sexist, hateful, or otherwise unlawful content, as well as content of an inappropriate nature,

  • Maintain the confidentiality of the exclusive content to which they have access.


5.3. Obligations of the COMPANY

5.3.1. General obligations

The COMPANY will make its best efforts to provide SUPPERHERO in accordance with the characteristics, notably availability, stated above. In this regard, the COMPANY is obligated to use reasonable efforts.

The COMPANY reserves the right, if it becomes aware of any content that does not comply with the law, good morals, or these TOS, particularly clauses 5.1 and 5.2, to unilaterally interrupt or suspend the CREATOR’s account on SUPPERHERO and to cancel the SUBSCRIBER’s subscription, without delay and without compensation. Furthermore, the COMPANY reserves the right to notify the competent authorities, particularly regarding defamation.

In accordance with its legal obligations, and in particular Article 6 and following of Law No. 2004-575 of 21 June 2004 on trust in the digital economy, the COMPANY will make its best efforts to remove illegal content and/or content that does not comply with good morals and/or these TOS, as promptly as possible.


5.3.2. Acceptance and modification of the TOS

The TOS constitute a binding agreement between the PARTIES. These TOS are accessible at any time on SUPPERHERO and shall prevail, where applicable, over any other version or contradictory document.

The COMPANY may update, modify, and add features to SUPPERHERO, as well as change the names of the features and the technical terms under which they are made available. Any modifications to these TOS will be notified to the USERS. As the USERS only have a right to use the PLATFORM, they cannot oppose these modifications, which may thus occur unilaterally at the initiative of the COMPANY.

The modified TOS shall take effect ten (10) days after the date of notification and, after this period, shall be binding on the USERS.


5.3.3. Security Guarantee

The COMPANY will make its best efforts to provide SUPPERHERO in accordance with industry standards in order to avoid altering data.

The USER acknowledges that, given the state of technology, it is strictly impossible to guarantee, among other things:

  • the absence of malicious intrusion into their information system,

  • the absence of destruction or alteration, notably due to viruses and/or modification of data, software, and applications used by SUPPERHERO,

  • the absence of bandwidth fluctuations and unforeseen issues arising from the access provider.

Furthermore, when the COMPANY communicates usernames/passwords to the USER for the use of SUPPERHERO, the USER acknowledges that these elements are personal and is responsible for preserving their confidentiality. Any access to and use of SUPPERHERO using the USER’s username/password will be considered as access or use performed by the USER. In the event that the security of a USER’s username/password is compromised, they must notify the COMPANY in writing as soon as possible. Upon receipt of such information, the COMPANY will cancel the username/password and access authorizations and provide new ones.


5.3.4. Obligation to Inform

The COMPANY will provide the USER with all useful advice and information regarding SUPPERHERO to ensure a smooth user experience.

If the USER fails to follow the advice and warnings provided by the COMPANY, they will assume the consequences of their choices.


  1. EXCLUSIVITY

From the creation of their account and for the entire duration of its activity, the CREATOR agrees to strict exclusivity with SUPPERHERO. Consequently, they are prohibited from collaborating, directly or indirectly, whether free of charge or for a fee, with any competing platform offering a service for showcasing similar content.

A competitor is notably defined as any company, platform, or service whose primary or ancillary activity involves the dissemination, promotion, or monetization of culinary content created by third parties in a format equivalent to that offered by SUPPERHERO.

Any breach of this obligation shall result, by operation of law and without prior notice, in the termination of the Contract and the suspension of the CREATOR’s account.


  1. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

The COMPANY declares that it possesses all the necessary rights for the proper execution of its contractual obligations and grants the USER a right to use SUPPERHERO.

In this regard, the USER acknowledges that they may only use SUPPERHERO within the scope of their account and/or subscribed subscription, for their internal needs and for their own account, excluding any use on behalf of third parties.

The COMPANY retains all rights it holds over SUPPERHERO, its source codes, its graphic charter, as well as all associated documentation.

The USER benefits from a strictly personal right of use; they may not transfer all or part of said rights of use, whether in the context of a temporary assignment, a sub-license, or any other contract providing for the transfer of said rights. They therefore agree to:

  • Not to reproduce, either permanently or temporarily, the source code of SUPPERHERO in whole or in part by any means and in any form,

  • Not to translate, adapt, arrange, or make any other modification to SUPPERHERO,

  • Not to commercialize in any manner, whether free of charge or for a fee, SUPPERHERO or its copy, including leasing.

Any representation or reproduction, in whole or in part, constitutes infringement punishable under Articles L335-2 and following of the Intellectual Property Code.

The COMPANY’s trademarks as well as its logos present within SUPPERHERO are protected trademarks and signs. Any total or partial reproduction of these trademarks or logos, made from the elements of SUPPERHERO without the express and prior authorization of the COMPANY, is therefore prohibited.

The CREATOR warrants that they are the sole owner of the content they disseminate and that it does not infringe upon the rights of third parties, understanding that, in accordance with established case law, culinary recipes as such are not protected by copyright. They may therefore be reproduced. However, their representation on any medium will be protected by copyright if it meets an originality criterion.

As each CREATOR holds copyright on the original content they disseminate, the SUBSCRIBERS agree not to infringe upon these rights by reproducing, copying, modifying, arranging, or adapting this content.

However, the COMPANY does not guarantee the proper respect of the CREATOR’s intellectual property rights by the SUBSCRIBER or by anyone else.


  1. DATA PROCESSING


8.1. Personal Data

The COMPANY acts as a data controller in accordance with the applicable regulations concerning the protection of personal data, in particular Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016, applicable from 25 May 2018 (hereinafter, “GDPR”).

In the context of the management and operation of SUPPERHERO, and in particular with regard to account creation, the COMPANY is authorized to process the personal data of the USERS.

The COMPANY undertakes to notify and indicate the nature of any breach, the estimated number of persons affected by the breach, the contact details of the point of contact capable of providing information regarding the breach, the probable consequences, and the measures taken to mitigate the possible consequences of the breach, as soon as reasonably possible after becoming aware of it.


8.2. Use of Data

The USER is solely responsible for the quality, lawfulness, and relevance of the data and content they transmit to the COMPANY.

Consequently, the COMPANY disclaims all liability in the event of non-compliance of the data and/or content with laws, regulations, and public order.


  1. LIABILITY

Each PARTY is responsible for the performance of its contractual obligations, under the conditions provided in these TOS and particularly within the limits set forth below.

The PARTIES agree that the COMPANY’s liability, regardless of its basis, may only be invoked for direct damages suffered by a PARTY as a result of a contractual fault attributable to the COMPANY and duly proven.

Under any circumstances, the COMPANY shall not be liable for:

  • Indirect damages,

  • Abnormal, illegal, or non-compliant use of SUPPERHERO by a USER,

  • Content disseminated by the CREATOR, whether regarding its legality, its adherence to good morals, or its respect for the intellectual property rights of third parties,

  • Any service not performed by the COMPANY,

  • The content of the information transmitted by the USER, in any respect.

The COMPANY is not in any way responsible for any consequences arising from the relationship between the CREATOR and the SUBSCRIBER, so that the COMPANY’s liability cannot be sought in the event of recourse exercised by one party against the other.

The provisions of this article shall survive the expiration and termination of the TOS for any reason.


  1. TERMINATION


10.1. Termination for breach

As mentioned above, the COMPANY may suspend or close the account of any USER who does not comply with these TOS, without delay and without prejudice to any damages to which they may be entitled.

In particular, it shall be authorized to terminate the subscription by operation of law under the following conditions:

  1. . MISCELLANEOUS


11.1. Force Majeure

The PARTIES shall not be liable for loss, damage, delay, non-performance, or partial performance resulting directly or indirectly from a cause that could be interpreted by a French court as a force majeure event (i.e., a “Force Majeure Event”).

Consequently, the COMPANY shall not be held liable for any failure in fulfilling any representation, warranty, or commitment under these TOS that results from or is related to the unavailability of Internet connection services or other Internet functionalities.


  1. SUBSCRIPTIONS AND FINANCIAL TERMS


4.1. The different types of subscriptions

The CREATOR may condition access to certain content and services on a free (Freemium) subscription which may include, for example:

  • Recipes reserved for Freemium subscribers,

  • Live sessions reserved for Freemium subscribers,

  • The ability to interact with certain content or with the rest of the community.

Certain content or service offers from the CREATORS are available on SUPPERHERO in the form of paid subscriptions, either monthly or annual, the price of which is set by the CREATOR themselves.

These paid subscriptions, called Premium Subscriptions, may include, in particular:

  • Exclusive recipes,

  • Live sessions,

  • Discussion groups,

  • Personalized content or advice,

  • Commercial benefits.


4.2. Subscription and cancellation terms

Subscription to Premium Subscriptions is carried out on SUPPERHERO and will only become effective after payment of the fee, according to the terms described below.

Each monthly Premium Subscription carries no commitment, so it can be cancelled at any time.

Each monthly Premium Subscription is subscribed for one (1) month and automatically renews for periods of the same duration. Any cancellation request made by the SUBSCRIBER must be submitted at least twenty-four (24) hours before the end of the subscription period.

In any case, cancellation of a Premium Subscription will only take effect at the end of the current monthly period. Consequently, the SUBSCRIBER will have access to the CREATOR’s content until the end of the current subscription period and shall not be entitled to any compensation or refund for the current subscription fee.


4.3. Financial Terms


4.3.1. Amount and payment terms

In exchange for the Premium Subscription allowing access to exclusive content, the SUBSCRIBER must pay the subscription fee. This amount is set by the CREATOR and is quoted in euros, excluding taxes.

Payment will be made monthly on SUPPERHERO. All payments by SUBSCRIBERS will be received and processed by a third-party payment provider approved by the COMPANY.

In the event of late payment, the SUBSCRIBER’s account will be suspended for the period between the day following the scheduled payment due date and full settlement of the outstanding subscription fee.

Additionally, the SUBSCRIBER may tip the CREATOR, choosing an amount which they will pay under the same terms as described above.


4.3.2. Company Commissions

After receiving the amounts from Premium Subscriptions and/or tips, the COMPANY will compensate the CREATOR the amount net of a commission which it will retain.

The commission rates charged by the COMPANY are set as follows:

  • Twenty percent (18.5%) excluding tax for a subscription or a one-time purchase;

  • Five percent (5%) excluding tax for a tip.

In any event, the COMPANY retains one point five percent (1.5%) plus twenty-five cents (€0.25) excluding tax per transaction carried out by a SUBSCRIBER on SUPPERHERO.

All taxes will be invoiced in addition at the rate in effect on the date of invoicing.


4.3.3. CREATOR Monetization

To activate monetization, the CREATOR must connect their SUPPERHERO account to a Stripe account, a secure payment provider chosen by the COMPANY. The creation and management of the Stripe account are carried out via the Stripe interface, subject to acceptance of Stripe’s general terms and conditions.

Payments made by users to access content or to support a CREATOR are collected by Stripe. SUPPERHERO charges a commission on each transaction, according to the percentage indicated on the platform at the time of monetization activation.

After deduction of SUPPERHERO’s commission and Stripe’s transaction fees, the funds are transferred directly to the CREATOR’s bank account in accordance with the deadlines and conditions defined by Stripe.

In the event of a breach of the terms of use of SUPPERHERO or Stripe, the CREATOR’s monetization may be suspended or deactivated without notice.

The CREATOR is responsible for ensuring that their activity on SUPPERHERO complies with tax regulations.


  1. COMMITMENTS OF THE PARTIES AND OBLIGATIONS


5.1. Obligations of the CREATOR


5.1.1. Lawfulness of the content disseminated

Although the COMPANY does not intervene in the choice of content and leaves the CREATOR complete freedom to disseminate what they wish, the CREATOR is prohibited from disseminating on SUPPERHERO any content, in whole or in part, likely to harm the interests and/or brand image of the COMPANY or of any third party. The content disseminated by the CREATOR is understood in a broad sense to include posts, live sessions, interactions with SUBSCRIBERS in discussion groups or comment sections, as well as content accessible via affiliate links available through SUPPERHERO.

More specifically, the CREATOR is prohibited from publishing any content, in whole or in part, that:

  • Is not directly related to culinary content, the very essence of SUPPERHERO;

  • Contains insulting, discriminatory, defamatory, sexist, hateful, or otherwise unlawful statements;

  • Infringes upon any rights of third parties, in particular intellectual property rights or personality rights;

  • Contains elements of a pornographic nature, including nudity, with sexual connotations or otherwise inappropriate;

  • Contains elements of a polemical or political nature;

  • Contains elements that in any way disparage the COMPANY or any third party;

  • Contains misleading elements regarding the actual quality of the products and services showcased;

  • Promotes cosmetic surgery or aesthetic medicine, certain financial products or services, nicotine pouches, subscriptions to advice or sports betting, involving non-domestic animals (with the exception of authorization granted to zoological parks) or any other content now prohibited under Law 2023-451 of 9 June 2023;

  • Does not comply with the regulations provided for by Law 2023-451, notably regarding the promotion of medical devices or products containing nicotine, which must be clearly, legibly, and identifiably displayed;

  • Does not display the statement “not for persons under eighteen” in relation to the promotion of gambling and games of chance;

  • Fails to specify the presence of filters, retouching (by the statement “edited images”), or AI-generated images (by the statement “virtual images”);

  • Contains elements aimed at promoting or presenting in a favorable and attractive manner the consumption of alcohol, in accordance with the law of 10 January 1991 relating to the fight against smoking and alcoholism.

In any event, the CREATOR remains solely responsible for the content they disseminate and warrants that they are the sole owner or, at the very least, possess all dissemination rights. The CREATOR must be able to demonstrate to the COMPANY, by any means and upon first request, their ownership of the rights to the content they disseminate. The CREATOR shall be solely responsible for any claims by third parties asserting ownership of any part of the disseminated content.

The COMPANY informs the CREATOR that they must be completely transparent about the commercial nature of the content when it is disseminated in exchange for monetary compensation or any commercial benefit. The CREATOR must also make the identity of their commercial partner easily identifiable, in a clearly perceptible and accessible manner for the public.

The commercial nature of the content must be highlighted in clear and accessible terms; terms such as “sponso”, “collab”, or anglicisms such as “ad” or “product review” are not sufficiently clear according to digital advertising regulations.

Since the Law of 9 June 2023, the omission of the statement “advertising” / “commercial collaboration” is sanctioned pursuant to Article L.121-2 relating to deceptive commercial practices.

However, the COMPANY cannot be held responsible for the CREATOR’s failure to comply with this commitment, as the CREATOR remains fully responsible for their actions.


5.2. Obligations of the SUBSCRIBER

In addition to paying the subscription fee upon due date, the SUBSCRIBER is obligated to:

  • Exhibit reasonable behavior on SUPPERHERO, refraining from posting insulting, discriminatory, defamatory, sexist, hateful, or otherwise unlawful content, as well as content of an inappropriate nature,

  • Maintain the confidentiality of the exclusive content to which they have access.


5.3. Obligations of the COMPANY

5.3.1. General obligations

The COMPANY will make its best efforts to provide SUPPERHERO in accordance with the characteristics, notably availability, stated above. In this regard, the COMPANY is obligated to use reasonable efforts.

The COMPANY reserves the right, if it becomes aware of any content that does not comply with the law, good morals, or these TOS, particularly clauses 5.1 and 5.2, to unilaterally interrupt or suspend the CREATOR’s account on SUPPERHERO and to cancel the SUBSCRIBER’s subscription, without delay and without compensation. Furthermore, the COMPANY reserves the right to notify the competent authorities, particularly regarding defamation.

In accordance with its legal obligations, and in particular Article 6 and following of Law No. 2004-575 of 21 June 2004 on trust in the digital economy, the COMPANY will make its best efforts to remove illegal content and/or content that does not comply with good morals and/or these TOS, as promptly as possible.


5.3.2. Acceptance and modification of the TOS

The TOS constitute a binding agreement between the PARTIES. These TOS are accessible at any time on SUPPERHERO and shall prevail, where applicable, over any other version or contradictory document.

The COMPANY may update, modify, and add features to SUPPERHERO, as well as change the names of the features and the technical terms under which they are made available. Any modifications to these TOS will be notified to the USERS. As the USERS only have a right to use the PLATFORM, they cannot oppose these modifications, which may thus occur unilaterally at the initiative of the COMPANY.

The modified TOS shall take effect ten (10) days after the date of notification and, after this period, shall be binding on the USERS.


5.3.3. Security Guarantee

The COMPANY will make its best efforts to provide SUPPERHERO in accordance with industry standards in order to avoid altering data.

The USER acknowledges that, given the state of technology, it is strictly impossible to guarantee, among other things:

  • the absence of malicious intrusion into their information system,

  • the absence of destruction or alteration, notably due to viruses and/or modification of data, software, and applications used by SUPPERHERO,

  • the absence of bandwidth fluctuations and unforeseen issues arising from the access provider.

Furthermore, when the COMPANY communicates usernames/passwords to the USER for the use of SUPPERHERO, the USER acknowledges that these elements are personal and is responsible for preserving their confidentiality. Any access to and use of SUPPERHERO using the USER’s username/password will be considered as access or use performed by the USER. In the event that the security of a USER’s username/password is compromised, they must notify the COMPANY in writing as soon as possible. Upon receipt of such information, the COMPANY will cancel the username/password and access authorizations and provide new ones.


5.3.4. Obligation to Inform

The COMPANY will provide the USER with all useful advice and information regarding SUPPERHERO to ensure a smooth user experience.

If the USER fails to follow the advice and warnings provided by the COMPANY, they will assume the consequences of their choices.


  1. EXCLUSIVITY

From the creation of their account and for the entire duration of its activity, the CREATOR agrees to strict exclusivity with SUPPERHERO. Consequently, they are prohibited from collaborating, directly or indirectly, whether free of charge or for a fee, with any competing platform offering a service for showcasing similar content.

A competitor is notably defined as any company, platform, or service whose primary or ancillary activity involves the dissemination, promotion, or monetization of culinary content created by third parties in a format equivalent to that offered by SUPPERHERO.

Any breach of this obligation shall result, by operation of law and without prior notice, in the termination of the Contract and the suspension of the CREATOR’s account.


  1. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

The COMPANY declares that it possesses all the necessary rights for the proper execution of its contractual obligations and grants the USER a right to use SUPPERHERO.

In this regard, the USER acknowledges that they may only use SUPPERHERO within the scope of their account and/or subscribed subscription, for their internal needs and for their own account, excluding any use on behalf of third parties.

The COMPANY retains all rights it holds over SUPPERHERO, its source codes, its graphic charter, as well as all associated documentation.

The USER benefits from a strictly personal right of use; they may not transfer all or part of said rights of use, whether in the context of a temporary assignment, a sub-license, or any other contract providing for the transfer of said rights. They therefore agree to:

  • Not to reproduce, either permanently or temporarily, the source code of SUPPERHERO in whole or in part by any means and in any form,

  • Not to translate, adapt, arrange, or make any other modification to SUPPERHERO,

  • Not to commercialize in any manner, whether free of charge or for a fee, SUPPERHERO or its copy, including leasing.

Any representation or reproduction, in whole or in part, constitutes infringement punishable under Articles L335-2 and following of the Intellectual Property Code.

The COMPANY’s trademarks as well as its logos present within SUPPERHERO are protected trademarks and signs. Any total or partial reproduction of these trademarks or logos, made from the elements of SUPPERHERO without the express and prior authorization of the COMPANY, is therefore prohibited.

The CREATOR warrants that they are the sole owner of the content they disseminate and that it does not infringe upon the rights of third parties, understanding that, in accordance with established case law, culinary recipes as such are not protected by copyright. They may therefore be reproduced. However, their representation on any medium will be protected by copyright if it meets an originality criterion.

As each CREATOR holds copyright on the original content they disseminate, the SUBSCRIBERS agree not to infringe upon these rights by reproducing, copying, modifying, arranging, or adapting this content.

However, the COMPANY does not guarantee the proper respect of the CREATOR’s intellectual property rights by the SUBSCRIBER or by anyone else.


  1. DATA PROCESSING


8.1. Personal Data

The COMPANY acts as a data controller in accordance with the applicable regulations concerning the protection of personal data, in particular Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016, applicable from 25 May 2018 (hereinafter, “GDPR”).

In the context of the management and operation of SUPPERHERO, and in particular with regard to account creation, the COMPANY is authorized to process the personal data of the USERS. The COMPANY collects, in particular, identification and contact data (name, first name, email address, country of residence, phone number, links to social networks).

The COMPANY undertakes to notify and indicate the nature of any breach, the estimated number of persons affected by the breach, the contact details of the point of contact capable of providing information regarding the breach, the probable consequences, and the measures taken to mitigate the possible consequences of the breach, as soon as reasonably possible after becoming aware of it.


8.2. Use of Data

The USER is solely responsible for the quality, lawfulness, and relevance of the data and content they transmit to the COMPANY.

Consequently, the COMPANY disclaims all liability in the event of non-compliance of the data and/or content with laws, regulations, and public order.


  1. LIABILITY

Each PARTY is responsible for the performance of its contractual obligations, under the conditions provided in these TOS and particularly within the limits set forth below.

The PARTIES agree that the COMPANY’s liability, regardless of its basis, may only be invoked for direct damages suffered by a PARTY as a result of a contractual fault attributable to the COMPANY and duly proven.

Under any circumstances, the COMPANY shall not be liable for:

  • Indirect damages,

  • Abnormal, illegal, or non-compliant use of SUPPERHERO by a USER,

  • Content disseminated by the CREATOR, whether regarding its legality, its adherence to good morals, or its respect for the intellectual property rights of third parties,

  • Any service not performed by the COMPANY,

  • The content of the information transmitted by the USER, in any respect.

The COMPANY is not in any way responsible for any consequences arising from the relationship between the CREATOR and the SUBSCRIBER, so that the COMPANY’s liability cannot be sought in the event of recourse exercised by one party against the other.

The provisions of this article shall survive the expiration and termination of the TOS for any reason.


  1. TERMINATION


10.1. Termination for breach

As mentioned above, the COMPANY may suspend or close the account of any USER who does not comply with these TOS, without delay and without prejudice to any damages to which they may be entitled.

In particular, it shall be authorized to terminate the subscription by operation of law under the following conditions:

  • Specifically, CREATORs whose accounts have been suspended, notably for failure to comply with the exclusivity commitment, will not be entitled to any refund, including for the amount of current subscriptions and/or tips for the period in question.


  1. . MISCELLANEOUS


11.1. Force Majeure

The PARTIES shall not be liable for loss, damage, delay, non-performance, or partial performance resulting directly or indirectly from a cause that could be interpreted by a French court as a force majeure event (i.e., a “Force Majeure Event”).

If any Force Majeure Event prevents, disrupts, or delays performance by the COMPANY for more than thirty (30) consecutive days, either PARTY may, at any time, terminate the subscription by sending the other PARTY a written termination notice, without any compensation to either PARTY. The PARTIES shall, as far as possible, endeavor to mitigate the effects of Force Majeure Events by cooperating.
