Article 3 Characteristics of the Services offered by SOONDER

The SOONDER Application is a mobile contact management solution that allows users to benefit from the exchange, centralisation, unification and automatic and instantaneous updates of their contacts.

Any person may access the Services using a standard internet connection. Each User must first download the SOONDER mobile application.

The User must then fill in the registration form (first name and surname), provide a valid e-mail address and a password. Registration implies acceptance of these general conditions of use.

The combination of the e-mail address and the password constitutes the identifier required for each access to the service.

The password must have a sufficient level of security during the registration process. If the User loses or forgets the password, he/she can regain access to his/her account by following a hypertext link allowing him/her to regenerate the password.

In case of loss or forgetfulness of all his identifiers, the User must make a request by e-mail to the following address: contact@soonder-app.com.

 

SOONDER is an application for smartphones that allows, after creating a user account :

– Create one or two contact records,

– Add or delete SOONDER contacts,

– Share SOONDER contact records,

– Make phone calls,

– Send messages (SMS or MMS),

– Send emails,

– Search for contact records,

– Add a personal memo to a received contact record,

– Close your account.

– For IPhone users only: create an SOS Widget that allows emergency services to contact a person in case of emergency.

The use of the Service requires the User to fill in the information form for the SOONDER application by completing the information concerning him/her, in particular the first and last name as well as the e-mail address.

After registration and when using the services for the first time, SOONDER will request access to the contacts, camera and photo gallery of the phone. SOONDER will not send any notification to the contacts and will not use any photo of the User without his prior validation.

As these accesses are necessary for the proper functioning of the application services, the User must authorise these accesses. SOONDER will not be held responsible for any malfunctioning of the application if these accesses have not been authorised by the User.

 

Article 4 Conditions of use

The Application may be modified according to improvements or updates made without prior notice; these modifications will be communicated to Users either by e-mail or by notification.

SOONDER reserves the right to cease marketing the Application, provided that the Customer is informed by any means, and that the Customer may continue to access the Application which he has already downloaded or will be given at least one month’s notice before access to the Application is definitively interrupted. The cessation of the marketing of a SOONDER product or service shall not give rise to any compensation or reparation whatsoever to the Customer.

 

Article 5 Personal data and data storage

In accordance with the law n°7817 of January 6, 1978 (modified), the processing of personal data of members has been declared to the Commission Nationale de l’Informatique et des Libertés (CNIL).  SAS WRK undertakes to update the CNIL declaration if necessary.

Article 6 Security of services and data

The security of SOONDER Users’ data is WRK’s priority. To this end, the security measures put in place for SOONDER Services are of a high level. WRK also uses data encryption to enhance IT security.

WRK therefore undertakes to do its utmost to ensure the security of Users’ data. However, given the complexity of the Internet environment and information systems, WRK cannot be held to an obligation of result in this respect.

The User is therefore solely responsible for the use and implementation of security, protection and backup measures for his equipment, data and software. In this respect, the User undertakes to take all appropriate measures to protect them. The User also undertakes not to commit any act that could jeopardise the security of WRK’s information systems.

 

Article 7 Availability of Maintenance Services

The User acknowledges that the techniques used by SOONDER are in the complex field of computer technology. SOONDER’s commitment is an obligation of means, SOONDER having to limit as far as possible in time and number the interruptions of the Services necessary for their maintenance or improvement.

The SOONDER Services are accessible 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Nevertheless, SOONDER shall not be held responsible for interruptions caused by the occurrence of an event beyond SOONDER’s control, possible breakdowns or a case of force majeure.

It is therefore up to the User to take precautions against these risks.

For maintenance purposes, SOONDER reserves the right to interrupt access to the Application from time to time, while endeavouring to warn the User and to make its best efforts to restore access to the Services as soon as possible.

SOONDER shall not be held liable to Users for any malfunctioning of the Services or of the technical means used, for the total or partial unavailability, whatever its duration, of all or part of the Services or of access to the Application, nor in the event of modification, degradation, alteration or loss of all or part of SOONDER Content.
