Terms of use • Wildcard: Build, test & deploy app with NoCode

1. Preamble

1.1 WILDCARD has designed and developed a software application with standard and customizable options (the “Software”) and online access, which allows its clients to set up and running their CI/CD pipelines and deploy their apps on Wildcard’s platform.

1.2 The CLIENT wishes to be able to use the Software online and to benefit from the services offered by WILDCARD under the following terms.

1.3 In accordance with the obligation to negotiate in good faith (Art. 1104 [new] Civil Code), the CLIENT declares that, prior using the Software:

i. the CLIENT has performed an accurate written analysis of its needs;,
ii. WILDCARD has provided the CLIENT, in particular in the business and technical proposal,, the details of the explicit essential features of the service proposed by WILDCARD (Art. 1133 [new] Civil Code) enabling, in particular, the CLIENT to assess the adequacy of the Service for its needs;
iii. the CLIENT has received from WILDCARD all the information that is crucial for its consent, which have a direct and necessary relation with the content and the essential features of the Service or the capacities of WILDCARD (Art1112-1 [new] Civil Code).

1.4 WILDCARD reminds CLIENT that (i) WILDCARD's duty to inform does not relate to the assessment of the value of the PaaS Service (Art. 1112-1 [new] Civil Code) that WILDCARD agrees to supply to the CLIENT and (ii) any inaccurate economic assessment of the PaaS Service by the CLIENT, prior to using the Software, is not grounds for cancellation of the Terms of use (Art. 1136 [new] Civil Code)

1.5 WILDCARD draws the CLIENT's attention to the fact that the PaaS Service offered by WILDCARD is a standard service designed for companies of varying sizes operating in different business sectors. It is therefore up to the CLIENT, prior to using the Software (i) to verify that the PaaS Service meets its needs and (ii) to ensure that the PaaS Service is scaled in such a way that allows it to fulfill the CLIENT’s own professional objectives, of which WILDCARD would not be aware. Consequently, in the event that the CLIENT has not (i) remitted to WILDCARD a preliminary written analysis of its needs or (ii) sent, in writing, to WILDCARD the details of the information that is crucial to its consent or (iii) informed WILDCARD, in writing, of all the essential features of the service expected from WILDCARD, the CLIENT acknowledges that WILDCARD Terms of Use will serve as expression of its needs, thus waiving any implicit essential feature of the provision of service by WILDCARD (Art. 1133 [new] Civil Code) of which WILDCARD may not be aware.

1.6 The parties declare that the pre-Collaboration negotiations were freely carried out (Art. 1112 [new] Civil Code) and that the provisions of the Collaboration were freely negotiated (Art. 1110 [new] Civil Code).
The parties have therefore agreed to the following terms.
This means you know how these terms work and you have understood what Wildcard can bring to you as an online service.

3. Purpose Of Terms Of Use – Features Of The Service

3.1 The purpose of Terms of use is to define the terms and conditions under which WILDCARD, through the use of the Software, provides the PaaS Service for the benefit of the CLIENT in return for payment of the Royalty. Use of the PaaS Service is granted to the CLIENT for the sole benefit of its Users, for the sole needs of its business, and not for processing data for the benefit of third parties, either free of charge or paid.

3.2 The list of services comprising the PaaS Service, the availability rate of the PaaS Service together explicitly and exhaustively describe the essential features of the PaaS Service rendered by WILDCARD (Art. 1133 [new] Civil Code), excluding any implied features that the CLIENT may expect and which WILDCARD cannot legitimately be aware of, and (ii) together ensure that the PaaS Service rendered by WILDCARD is of a quality that complies with the legitimate expectations of the CLIENT and WILDCARD, taking into account the nature of the services that constitute, together and indivisibly, the PaaS Service rendered by WILDCARD and of the purposes and the amount of consideration the CLIENT agrees to pay to WILDCARD to use the PaaS Service (Art. 1166 [new] Civil Code).

3.3 At the request of the CLIENT, WILDCARD can perform additional services (advice, support, configuration, training, etc.), other than those explicitly included in the PaaS Service. Any additional services to be performed by WILDCARD must be the subject to a quotation from WILDCARD and a written and express acceptance from the CLIENT before being carried out by WILDCARD. These services are invoiced separately, in addition to the PaaS Royalty.

The service is for your use only, as a single customer or a company; and you're not going to give away your credentials to a third party. This also says that any additional services outside of our online documentation and public pricing provided on demand may be subject to additional fees.

4. Strict Limits For Use Of The Software And PaaS Service

4.1 Terms of use include the right to use the Software, in a non-exclusive and non-transferable manner, and may not be sub-licensed, assigned, transferred or made available to a third party, free of charge or paid, in any practical or legal manner whatsoever. The PaaS Service and the Software are intended to be used:

1. only by remote access on the Platform chosen by WILDCARD, in compliance with the rules of identification and assignment of rights of the Users chosen by the CLIENT via the back office of the Software;
2. only for the processing of the CLIENT's professional Data by the Users under the terms strictly defined in this Article.

4.2 Any modification or attempt by the CLIENT to modify the terms of access or use of the Software or the PaaS Service (access to the PaaS Service through any mean not authorized nor expected for by WILDCARD, unauthorized increase in the number of Users) or any use of the Software or PaaS Service under conditions not provided for in Terms of use without the prior written consent of WILDCARD represents a considerable danger to the continuity of WILDCARD's business whose intellectual property in the Software constitutes an essential asset. Consequently, any modification or attempt to modify the terms of use of the PaaS Service, the Software or the Platform, whether voluntary or not, by the CLIENT is deemed to constitute a sufficiently serious breach on the part of the CLIENT which entails the right of WILDCARD to suspend immediately and automatically the PaaS Service (Art. 1219 [new] Civil Code) upon the date of information to this effect by WILDCARD to the CLIENT, especially through an Email confirmed by a notification (Article 13.7 “Notification”).

4.3 The login credentials of the CLIENT's Users to access the Software are personal and confidential. The CLIENT agrees to take all necessary measures to keep the Users login IDs secret and not disclose them in any form whatsoever. The CLIENT is solely responsible for the use of the IDs which it alone manages through the back office of the Software. In general, the CLIENT assumes responsibility for the physical and logical security of the individual access terminals to the Software. In the event that the CLIENT becomes aware that an unauthorized person has gained access to the Software, the CLIENT agrees to inform WILDCARD immediately. In the event of loss, theft or usurpation of the Users login IDs, the CLIENT will use only the back office procedure of the Software, allowing him to recover his identifiers or create new ones.

4.4 By using the PaaS Service, the CLIENT must comply with, and refrain from violating, any right of any other person, entity, contractual duty and laws including laws forbidding distribution of child pornography, forgery, identity theft, interference with electronic communications, invasion of privacy, unlawful sending of commercial/marketing messages, collection of excessive user data from children, securities violations, wire fraud, money laundering, terrorist activities, false advertising, propagating or profiting from frauds and unfaire scheme.

4.5 The CLIENT agrees not to :

- Take action that might generate unreasonable or disproportionately (as determined by us) large load on our and on our third party providers’ infrastructure
- Abusive use of network bandwidth
- Interfere or attempt to interfere with the proper working of the PaaS service
- Run any form of “spam” on the PaaS Service
- Use the PaaS Service for any high risk activities including nuclear facilities, air traffic control, life customer systems or any other use where the failure of service could lead to death, personal injury or environmental damage (contact contact@w6d.io for appropriate answers)

Our service is accessible through a GitHub account. Also, using our service implies that you fully comply with the law and use the service in a ethical way.The service is for your use only, as a single customer or a company; and you're not going to give away your credentials to a third party. This also says that any additional services outside of our online documentation and public pricing provided on demand may be subject to additional fees.

5. Availability Of PaaS Service

5.1 WILDCARD guarantees, within the context of a performance obligation, the PaaS Service availability rate of ninety-nine point nine (99,9) % per year. Compliance by WILDCARD with the availability rate is as a feature of the service of WILDCARD in accordance with the legitimate expectations of the parties (Art. 1166 [new] Civil Code) in consideration of the nature, uses and amount of the consideration CLIENT agrees to pay to WILDCARD to use the PaaS Service.

5.2 The PaaS Service availability rate is calculated “Platform start”. By express agreement, the availability rate of the PaaS Service does not take into account (i) any interruptions in the operation of the Internet for which WILDCARD can in no way be responsible, or (ii) any scheduled maintenance operations of the Software or the Platform for which the CLIENT is informed by WILDCARD with at least ten (10) days notice.

5.3 The duration of the PaaS Service's unavailability due to the correction of the Blocking or Major Bugs in the Software or of the Platform according to the terms set forth in the “Maintenance/Assistance/Support” section is taken into account in the calculation of the rate of availability of the PaaS Service.

5.4 WILDCARD reminds the CLIENT (i) that the provision of a connection between the Platform and the CLIENT's computer system is not included in the services provided by WILDCARD in accordance with the PaaS Service and (ii) that it is up to the CLIENT to have a connection to a communication network in order to receive and transmit data from the Platform.

5.5 WILDCARD REMINDS THE CLIENT THAT THE INTERNET, WHICH ENABLES WILDCARD TO PROVIDE THE PAAS SERVICE, IS AN OPEN AND INFORMAL NETWORK, CONSISTING OF THE INTERNATIONAL INTERCONNECTION OF INDEPENDENT COMPUTER NETWORKS USING THE TCP/IP PROTOCOL, WITHOUT ANY OBLIGATION TO SUPPLY OR CAPACITY TO SUPPLY BETWEEN OPERATORS OF THESE NETWORKS. CONSEQUENTLY, WILDCARD CANNOT GUARANTEE (i) ANY AVAILABILITY OF THE SERVICE WHICH TAKES ACCOUNT OF THE FUNCTIONING OF THE INTERNET, (ii) OR THAT THE USE OF THE PAAS SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED.

The service is guaranteed to be available 99.9% of the year, on the condition that there is no Internet failure or any other global and/or catastrophical event which would be way out of our hands, (Heavy rain, giant meteor hitting earth, etc. You got the idea).

6. Obligation To Collaborate

6.1 As soon as the CLIENT agreed to the Terms of use, each party agrees to execute the Term of uses in good faith, in particular by cooperating with the other party in the execution of the services it is responsible for, for example by communicating to the other party all documents, information and information necessary or requested to enable WILDCARD to provide the PaaS Service under the Terms of use.

6.2 The CLIENT acknowledges having been informed by WILDCARD that the implementation and the correct use of the PaaS Service is likely to depend on the CLIENT's ability to train its Users in advance in the use of the PaaS Service and to adapt some of its internal organizational and/or operational processes.

We truly hope that you've signed-up to Wildcard with a spirit of cooperation with us. We also assume that you know what you're doing when you are using Wildcard, and have sufficient technical abilities to run our developer-oriented service.

7. Financial Terms

7.1 General provisions

The amount and terms of payment are as described in our pricing page to which applicable taxes associated with the Software applies .In general terms, WILDCARD's invoices are payable, in advance, within thirty (30) days maximum from the date of invoice.

7.2 Late payment and suspension of execution

7.2.1 Compliance by the CLIENT with the deadlines for payment of the PaaS Royalty constitutes an explicit essential feature of the CLIENT's services expected by WILDCARD (Art. 1133 [new] Civil Code). Any late payment by the CLIENT of more than thirty (30) days after the agreed deadline and after reminder by email from WILDCARD to the CLIENT is deemed to constitute a sufficiently serious default on the part of the CLIENT (Art. 1219 [new] Civil Code) to entitle WILDCARD to immediately suspend the execution of the PaaS Service, with simultaneous notification of the CLIENT by WILDCARD, without further notice or formality of any kind.

7.2.2 In accordance with Article L.441-6 of the Commercial Code, in the event of non-payment of all or part of the PaaS Royalty (or any other amount owed by the CLIENT) within the deadlines, (i) any unpaid amount will automatically generate daily interest until the date of full payment of principal, interest, charges and related expenses, at a rate equal to FIVE (5) times the legal interest rate, without a reminder being necessary and without prejudice to the damages that WILDCARD reserves the right to pursue legally; (ii) in accordance with Article L.441-6 of the Commercial Code, a lump sum indemnity for collection costs, the amount of which is set in Article D.441-5 of the Commercial Code, will be automatically due for each invoice concerned. Pursuant to Article L.441-6 of the Commercial Code, the recovery costs, documented on the invoice, of amounts owed by the CLIENT (costs of proceedings, expenses, disbursements and attorney and bailiff fees) are deemed to constitute a related expense of the claim of WILDCARD and are entirely the responsibility of the CLIENT until the CLIENT’s claim shall be repaid.

7.2.3 In the event of termination of the Terms of use by WILDCARD for non-payment by the CLIENT shall be immediately payable by way of provisional compensation for the prejudice suffered by WILDCARD, notwithstanding the right of WILDCARD to seek legal compensation for its total prejudice. For benefits calculated on the basis of a quantifiable result (for example, a number of clicks measured during a given period), the amount of the provisional compensation to WILDCARD will be calculated on the price due by the CLIENT for the last full month of performance of the service concerned invoiced by WILDCARD. Failure by the CLIENT to pay the provisional indemnity within sixty (60) days of the notice of termination will constitute a manifestly illegal disturbance for WILDCARD.

7.3 Unpredictable economic circumstances

Pursuant to Article 1195 [new] Civil Code, WILDCARD declares to not accept (i) the risk of an upward fluctuation in the cost of hosting and storing the CLIENT Software and Data invoiced to it by a Platform that operates these benefits on an outsourcing basis with WILDCARD nor (ii) the risk of upwards fluctuation in the cost of the services related to the encryption of CLIENT Data or the CLIENT's connection to WILDCARD's platform. Consequently, any increase of more than fifteen (15)% of any of these specific services announced by WILDCARD to the CLIENT shall be deemed to constitute an unpredictable economic circumstance rendering the provision of the Service for WILDCARD excessively expensive.

7.4 Imperfect performance of services and reduction of price

7.4.1 In the event of imperfect performance of the services under the responsibility of WILDCARD (Art. 1223 [new] Civil Code) (i) that not sanctioned by penalties and (ii) for which the CLIENT has begun to pay, the CLIENT may, after formal notice from WILDCARD, request a proportional reduction of the price of the PaaS Royalty. In this case, the CLIENT and WILDCARD agree to negotiate in good faith a new price which, to be applicable, must be concluded within thirty (30) days of the CLIENT's notification. Failing agreement within this period, the Collaboration shall be terminated by notice at the initiative of either party.

7.4.2 If the CLIENT has not paid for the services which have been imperfectly executed (even for services actually invoiced but for which payment was not actually received by WILDCARD), upon receipt of the notice by the CLIENT and by express waiver of Article 1223 para. 2 [new] Civil Code, WILDCARD shall immediately inform the CLIENT of its decision to suspend the performance of the Service, said failure to pay being deemed to constitute a sufficiently serious breach by the CLIENT (Art. 1219 [new] Civil Code).

Our invoices are due 30 days in advance, penalty may be applied if the payment is more than 30 days late.

8. Liability And Insurance

8.1 WILDCARD reminds the CLIENT that the Software and the PaaS Service allow the CLIENT to improve the relevance or the efficiency of his company but do not constitute a service likely to affect the operation of the production of CLIENT products or services. WILDCARD is liable for direct, immediate (Art. 1231-4 [new] Civil Code) and foreseeable damages (Art. 1231-3 [new] Civil Code) caused by partial or total poor performance of the Terms of use that can be proven by the CLIENT. WILDCARD is in no way liable for indirect, unforeseeable or consequential damages caused by partial or total failure to perform the Service, including the cost of obtaining software or providing a substitute service to the Software or the PaaS Service.

8.3 WILDCARD declares that it has insurance with an insurance company with a reputation of creditworthiness, covering the consequences of its civil and professional liability which may be incurred by it as a result of the performance of the Terms of use. The payment of the annual insurance premium by WILDCARD takes into account the amount of the indemnity offered by WILDCARD under the Terms of use. In the event that the CLIENT desires an additional level of compensation for its losses, WILDCARD will offer the CLIENT an Amendment to his insurance policy and the CLIENT will bear the full amount of the surcharge requested by the insurance company of WILDCARD to cover the specific risk requested by the CLIENT.

We are not liable for indirect or unforeseeable damages that could be caused by failure to perform our service. As reasonable people, we have an insurance covering our civil and professional liability.

Wildcard reserves the right to suspend or delete an account that does not comply with Terms of uses.
The CLIENT has the right to terminate their account after sending a notice to the following address: contact@w6d.io

10.2 Termination for sufficiently serious breach or non-compliance with a specific essential feature

The Collaboration shall terminate immediately and automatically if a party fails to remedy either (i) a sufficiently serious breach (Art. 1224 [new] Civil Code) of any of its obligations, or (ii) an explicit essential feature of the service (Art. 1133 [new] Civil Code) within thirty (30) days of notification by the other party of the obligation to terminate said breach.

10.3 Suspension of services

Wildcard reserves the right to suspend or delete an account without liability if (i) the credit card of third party you are using to pay the PaaS Service refuse to honor or reverse charges, (ii) you do not give us access to any information we could you to conduct a reasonable investigation of any suspected violation of the Terms of Use, (iii) your account is under an attack or being used by a third party without your agreement, (iv) we are forced by government agency or law to suspend your account according to misuse as described in section 4 , or (v) any event that could lead us to suspend your PaaS Service to protect our other customer.
You will receive notice of the suspension which will take place immediately.

10.4 Reversibility and restitution of CLIENT’s Data

At the latest within thirty (30) days of the effective date of termination of the Collaboration, whatever the cause, WILDCARD undertakes to return to the CLIENT all the CLIENT's Data which is processed by the PaaS Service, without retaining of any sort of copy and to not exercise any right of retention of such Data for any reason whatsoever. The Data is returned free of charge to the CLIENT in a standard market format (.xls, csv, etc.) which does not require the use of the Software to be re-used. No service other than the complete return to the CLIENT of its Data will be provided by WILDCARD as a form of reversibility, WILDCARD not being bound to ensure any continuity of the service rendered by the PaaS Service, this absence of continuity of service constituting (i) crucial information for the consent of WILDCARD (Art. 1112-1 [new] Civil Code) and (ii) an essential feature of the service (Art. 1133 [new] Civil Code) rendered by WILDCARD.
We can suspend your account if you do not comply with these Terms of use or if we cannot process your payment. But in case of suspension, we will return your data within 30 days.

11. Warranties Related To Software

11.1 WILDCARD warrants (i) that the Software is original and (ii) that it holds all intellectual property rights to the Software, subject to any Software modules having an “Open Source” license or (iii) that it has the right to grant a license to the CLIENT to any additional Software modules chosen by the CLIENT whose intellectual property rights are held by a third party who has granted the use to WILDCARD so that the latter can in turn validly grant the use to the CLIENT under the conditions set out in the Terms of use.

11.2 During the use of the Software, WILDCARD warrants the CLIENT against any legal action or proceedings on the ground that the Software may infringe the intellectual property rights of a third party. WILDCARD takes responsibility, at its own expense and choice, for the defense to be carried out as a result of the action taken against the CLIENT by a third party alleging an infringement of his rights, the owner of the intellectual property rights on each additional module having made a similar commitment with regard to WILDCARD. WILDCARD shall pay the full amount of damages to which the CLIENT shall be sentenced by a court decision having the force of res judicata in the main proceedings and becoming the final decision of the court. WILDCARD warrants to the CLIENT the peaceful enjoyment of the use of the Software and of any additional modules, provided that the CLIENT informs it without delay of any threat of action or procedure against peaceful enjoyment, allowing WILDCARD to provide the defense, and collaborates with WILDCARD in this defense at the expense of WILDCARD. WILDCARD will have full control over civil defense, including appeal, negotiation and the right to reach a settlement within the meaning of Articles 2044 et seq, of the Civil Code. The CLIENT shall, at his own expense, provide its criminal defense, so as to reverse the presumption of bad faith imposed by the case law.

11.3 In the event of a civil conviction of WILDCARD by a court decision having the force of res judicata in the main proceedings and having become the final decision of the court or in the event of a transaction concluded by WILDCARD, WILDCARD may, at its option and at its own expense, either (i) obtain for the CLIENT the right to continue to use the Software (and/or any additional module) so that it no longer infringes on the rights of any third party, or (ii) if the right to continue using the Software (and/or any additional module) cannot be obtained or if the Software (and/or an add-on module) cannot be replaced or modified for a reasonable cost so that it no longer infringes on the rights of a third party, announce the end of the Collaboration and return to the CLIENT the total amount of the PaaS Royalties paid by the CLIENT to WILDCARD from the date of the claim of the third party (period after the last service provision not having received its consideration - Art. 1229 [new] Civil Code), notwithstanding the right of the CLIENT to seek legal compensation for his total damages.

We hold all Wildcard's intellectual property, and no third party intellectual property were used on the software.

12. Maintenance / Assistance / Support

12.1 Assistance / support in the use of the Software

WILDCARD provides assistance (support) relating to the use of the PaaS Service in French and English, by messengers like Crisp and Slack for the benefit of the Users. The cost of this benefit is included in the PaaS Royalty.

12.2 Maintenance : correction of Software Bugs

12.2.1 WILDCARD provides the CLIENT, by remote maintenance, electronic mail, etc. the information necessary to enable it to attempt to resolve any Major or Blocking Bug as soon as it is reported (defined below). Once the Major or Blocker Bug has been identified and reproduced by WILDCARD, WILDCARD agrees to install as soon as possible on the Platform a correction to the instructions of the Software which are the cause of the Major or Blocking Bug. To accomplish this, WILDCARD may install a temporary workaround, an upgrade or a new version of the Software.

12.2.2 WILDCARD agrees to take into account the CLIENT's requests to intervene for Maintenance within the shortest possible time. Upon reception by WILDCARD of a written request to intervene by the CLIENT (the “Reporting” of a Bug), WILDCARD agrees to act as quickly as possible to reproduce the Major Bug or Blocking reported. From the time of reproduction of the Major or Blocker Bug by WILDCARD, the PaaS Service is deemed unavailable and the duration of this unavailability is taken into account in the calculation of the annual availability of the PaaS Service indicated in the section “Availability of the Service” and sanctioned by penalties calculated in the section “Penalty for failure to respect the availability rate of the PaaS Service.”

12.2.3 By express agreement between the parties, the right to use the Software granted by WILDCARD to the CLIENT in respect of the PaaS Service constitutes a provision of a copy of the Software within the meaning of Articles 1709 et seq. of the Civil Code. In this regard, WILDCARD cannot guarantee that the Software will operate without error. The parties acknowledge that the technical state of the software does not allow WILDCARD to guarantee that WILDCARD will be able to correct all the anomalies, errors, bugs or latent defects likely to affect the Software. In accordance with Art. 1133 para. 3 [new] Civil Code, by agreeing with the Terms of use, the CLIENT expressly agrees to accept this risk, which is inherent in software development and operation, and therefore waives any errors relating to the quality of the Software or PaaS Service.

12.3 Updates and new versions

Updates and/or new versions of the Software are provided to the CLIENT, installed and put into production on the Platform by WILDCARD, without intervention by the CLIENT, at a frequency of which WILDCARD remains the sole judge. The terms of use, in particular the right to use the Software granted to the CLIENT, apply to any update or new version installed by WILDCARD on the Platform. WILDCARD reserves the right to change the functionality of the Software, without reducing the availability rate defined in the section “Availability of the Service“.

12.4 Software Maintenance Limits

To benefit from the Maintenance, the CLIENT is required to:

- (i) promptly forward to WILDCARD a Report of any possible Bug and transmit without delay to WILDCARD any information necessary or useful in locating and reproducing the Bug;
- (ii) make itself fully available to WILDCARD and allow WILDCARD to contact any user who might provide it with any useful information about the Bug reported in order to reproduce it.

The cost of the support is included in the service billing, and we will always do our best to perform updates and maintenance of our software in a way that has the least impact on our customers.
