The purpose of these general terms and conditions of use (hereinafter "GTC") is to provide a legal framework for the terms and conditions of use of the Watch Certificate™ Platform made available by TRADEE within the framework of its agreements with Approved Professionals (Manufacturers, Watchmakers and Experts) (hereinafter, the "Agreement(s)"). The Approved Professionals are hereinafter referred to as "Users".
The User who accesses the Watch Certificate™ Platform acknowledges that he/she has read these TOS, and agrees to abide by its terms. The Watch Certificate™ Platform is accessible at any location, 7 days a week, 24 hours a day except in cases of force majeure, scheduled or unscheduled interruption and which may arise from a need for maintenance.
TRADEE grants User a license to use the Watch Certificate™ Platform under the Agreements. This license is revocable for the causes set forth herein or in the Agreements, non-transferable, free of charge, or onerous depending on the intended uses. The license to use the account granted by TRADEE extends to User's employees under the same terms and conditions as User. User agrees to use the Watch Certificate™ Platform in a strictly business capacity for the sole purpose of performing the Agreement. The User further undertakes to use the features of the Watch Certificate™ Platform and all content to which he may have access only for purposes that comply with the regulations in force, and in particular with public order, good morals and the rights of third parties. The User undertakes, when requested, to provide only complete, accurate and up-to-date information about himself. In order to use the Watch Certificate™ Platform, the User must have suitable equipment: up-to-date software, a recent browser, and a functional internet connection. Costs related to the use of the Watch Certificate™ Platform including fees, various subscriptions, taxes are the sole responsibility of the User.
As part of the Agreement between TRADEE and the User for the distribution of the Watch Certificate™ solution, TRADEE assigns a Professional Account to the User. The Professional Account is used to, among other things:

The information provided by the User must be accurate and truthful. In the event that the information provided is inaccurate and contrary to this Agreement, TRADEE reserves the right to refuse the opening of a User account. If applicable, the User shall provide TRADEE with the details of all of its employees to whom it intends to give access to the Watch Certificate™ Platform. TRADEE creates as many accounts as there are people who have access to the Platform. Account use is strictly individual.
The professional email address provided by the User is used as a login. When logging in for the first time, the User chooses a password to access his professional account. The password consists of a minimum of 12 characters, of the four types (lower case, capital letters, numbers, special characters). The password can be changed online by the User, on his professional account. In case of loss, the User can initiate a password renewal procedure online under the heading "Forgot password?". The connection identifiers are strictly personal and confidential and must not be communicated to anyone. Each User is responsible for the consequences of their use. It is therefore the User's responsibility to take all appropriate measures to ensure the security and confidentiality of his/her login and password. TRADEE shall not be liable for any damages resulting from fraudulent use of the account due to loss or disclosure of passwords by the User. Each User agrees to notify TRADEE of any fraudulent use of his/her login and/or password as soon as he/she becomes aware of such use. TRADEE reserves the right to suspend access to the account in the event of fraudulent use or attempted fraudulent use of the account. TRADEE will notify the User of any such suspension.
The account may be terminated at any time or upon expiration of the Agreement between the User and TRADEE.
