The Client acknowledges that the Contract does not confer on it any property right over these elements. The provision of the Solution under the conditions set out in the Contract shall not be construed as the assignment of any intellectual property right to the benefit of the Client, Beneficiaries and Users, within the meaning of the French Intellectual Property Code.

The Service Provider grants the Client, Beneficiaries and Users, throughout the term of the Contract and worldwide, a non-exclusive right of access and use, which is non-exclusive, non-assignable and non-transferable.

The Service Provider shall not incur any liability if the alleged infringement is based on a modification of the Solution carried out by others than the Service Provider, in the use of the Solution with software or other elements not approved by the Service Provider or in the use of the Solution in a way that does not comply with the specifications and instructions given by the Service Provider.
