Version 1.0, 14 July 2026
Strictly professional (B2B) scope. Document prepared in good faith in accordance with European Union and French law in force. It will be reviewed by legal counsel upon incorporation of the company.
These Terms of Sale govern exclusively the relationship between SealTrust SAS and professional Brand clients subscribing to SealTrust's SaaS software offerings.
They do not apply to consumers. Use of the Service by consumers is free of charge and governed by the Terms of Use and the Privacy Policy. Obligations regarding returns, warranty and withdrawal towards consumers rest with the selling Brand and are described in the Return and Warranty Policy.
The 14-day right of withdrawal (Directive 2011/83/EU, Articles L.221-18 et seq.) does not apply between professionals. By exception (Article L.221-3), it benefits a professional employing at most five employees where the contract is concluded off-premises and outside its main field of activity, an exception not applicable to online subscriptions to the platform.
SealTrust SAS is a simplified joint-stock company (SAS) being formed and not yet registered with the French trade and companies register; until that registration it has no legal personality. These Terms are therefore entered into by Nordine Bouchelia, co-founder, acting in the name and on behalf of the company being formed, who is personally bound by them until the company, once registered, takes over the commitments (Article L.210-6 of the French Commercial Code). Address: Lyon, France. Contact: contact@sealtrust.io. Legal notices in the Legal Notice.
The Terms of Sale define how SealTrust provides the Client with access to its authentication platform in SaaS mode: product and model registration, issuance of certificates and Digital Product Passports (DPP), NFC and QR media generation, dashboard, fraud detection, ERP connectors, API keys and SDK, and associated services.
The contract is formed by signature of a quote, a purchase order or online subscription, constituting acceptance without reservation of these Terms of Sale. They prevail over the Client's general purchasing conditions, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
A free trial access, of limited duration and scope, may be offered. At the end of the trial, access ends automatically unless a paid offering is subscribed. The trial is currently sales-led.
Offerings are provided as a subscription (monthly or annual) and, where applicable, usage-based pricing. The details of offerings, features, limits and tiers appear on the order form or the applicable price list, which prevail.
Prices are stated in euros and exclusive of tax; VAT and taxes are added. For professional Clients established in another EU Member State with a valid intra-EU VAT number, VAT is reverse-charged by the Client.
Invoicing follows the subscription frequency. Payments are processed via Stripe; card data is not stored by SealTrust (Stripe tokenisation).
In accordance with Articles L.441-10 and D.441-5 of the Commercial Code, any late payment between professionals gives rise as of right to penalties at the ECB reference rate plus 10 points and a fixed indemnity of EUR 40, without prejudice to compensation for costs actually incurred. SealTrust may suspend access after formal notice remains without effect.
The contract takes effect on subscription for the duration of the chosen subscription.
Unless otherwise stated in the order form, the subscription is renewed by tacit renewal for equivalent periods. Either party may object by notice at the latest thirty (30) days before the end of the current period. Article L.215-1 of the Consumer Code (information on renewal) targets only consumers and non-professionals and is inapplicable here.
Either party may terminate for a serious breach not remedied within thirty (30) days of formal notice.
On expiry, access is deactivated. Before that date, the Client may export its data via the export functions and the API. Upon written request within thirty (30) days following the end of the contract, SealTrust makes available a copy of the data in a structured, commonly used format. On-chain data remains public and permanent.
The Client warrants it holds the rights necessary over the products, trademarks, content and data registered, and that it registers no counterfeit or unlawful products. It is responsible for the accuracy of the product information, in particular in the DPP, and undertakes to comply with applicable regulations, in particular Regulation (EU) 2024/1781 (ESPR) and its delegated acts.
SealTrust implements reasonable means to ensure availability and security. In the absence of a quantified SLA expressly stipulated in the order form, the Service is provided under a best-efforts obligation. Where a quantified SLA is agreed, its terms appear in the order form and prevail.
SealTrust grants the Client, for the term of the contract, a non-exclusive, non-assignable and non-transferable right to use the platform. The SDK and API are provided under a private licence. The Client retains ownership of its data and grants SealTrust a limited licence to host and process it for the purpose of the Service.
SealTrust acts as a processor (Article 28 GDPR) for data processed on behalf of the Client, and as a controller for its own purposes (account, billing, security). A Data Processing Agreement (DPA) specifying these roles is concluded and, once signed, forms an annex to the Terms of Sale. Failing a separate signed DPA, this article and the Privacy Policy apply.
Within the limits permitted by law, SealTrust's total liability is limited to the amounts paid by the Client during the twelve (12) months preceding the triggering event. SealTrust is not liable for indirect damages. These limitations do not apply in the event of wilful misconduct, gross negligence, personal injury or infringement of rights that cannot be limited by law.
Each party preserves the confidentiality of the other's confidential information for the term of the contract and two (2) years thereafter.
Neither party is liable for a failure resulting from an event of force majeure within the meaning of Article 1218 of the Civil Code.
These Terms of Sale are governed by French law. Any dispute relating to their validity, interpretation or performance will be submitted, failing amicable resolution, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Commercial Court of Lyon, in the district of SealTrust's registered office, including in the event of multiple defendants or third-party proceedings, subject to applicable mandatory rules.
