4. Acceptance of the general conditions
The general conditions are displayed both on the Website but also in the Quotation sent by Wisembly to the Client.
The signature of the Quotation by the Client constitutes full and unreserved acceptance of the general conditions’ provisions by the Client.
The acceptance of the Contract by the Client can only be full and unreserved. Any acceptance subject to conditions will be considered null and void.
5. Taking out a License subscription
Access to the Solution and to the Services is conditional upon the Client taking out a licence (hereafter referred to as the “Licence”).
A Client wishing to take out a License should submit a quotation request to Wisembly, either by e-mail, sent to the following address: contact@wisembly.com, or by calling 01 85 73 27 47 (hereafter referred to as the “Order”).
The same Client has the option of taking out several Licenses. The Client acknowledges that he has been informed that a License is taken out on behalf of a natural person, whether this is the Client himself or a person designated from among his staff to benefit from the Services (hereafter referred to as the “Beneficiary”). A Licence is taken out on behalf of a single Beneficiary. The Client acknowledges and accepts that he must take out a number of Licenses equivalent to the number of Beneficiaries he wishes to authorise to access the services.
The Order must mention the Client’s contact details, including his last name, first name and contact e-mail address, the desired License(s), in addition to the last name, first name and e-mail address of the Beneficiary for each License ordered. The Client guarantees that all information mentioned on the Order is accurate, up-to-date and truthful and is in no way dishonest or deceptive.
Upon receipt of the Order, Wisembly agrees to send the client a Quotation by e-mail to the e-mail address entered when placing the Order, within a maximum period of seven (7) working days.
If no quotation is sent to the Client within this deadline, the Order will be considered as not having been accepted by Wisembly, which the Client acknowledges and accepts.
If the Client accepts Wisembly’s proposal, he must send the Quotation back to Wisembly, duly signed by his legal representative, at the latest by the deadline stated on the Quotation and if no such deadline is mentioned on the Quotation, then at the latest within fifteen (15) working days.
Wisembly reserves the right to refuse any Quotation which has not been returned within the above-mentioned deadline, with no possibility for the Client to claim any compensation as a result.
Once the License subscription has been validly taken out, Wisembly authorises the Client to modify the Beneficiary of the License a maximum of once per year during the lifetime of the License, on condition that this modification is justified by a change of post affecting the former Beneficiary within the company if he/she has changed company.
The actions performed on the Website by the former Beneficiary are considered to have been approved by the Client and will be considered binding upon him vis-a-vis Wisembly, which he expressly acknowledges and accepts.
6. Means of accessing the Solution and Services
Once the License has been validly taken out, the Client acknowledges that he has been informed that the Beneficiary/Beneficiaries must open an account on the Website in their own name (hereafter referred to as the “Account”) by following the procedure described in the Website’s general terms of use.
The person whose personal information matches that which was supplied by the Client in the Order will be considered as the Beneficiary for Services requiring prior registration, to the exclusion of any other third parties.
Opening an Account automatically results in the allocation of a personal area enabling the Beneficiary to manage his use of the Solution and of the Services, in a form and using the technical resources which Wisembly considers most appropriate to supply the said Services (hereafter referred to as the “Personal Area”).
The Client is informed and agrees to inform the Beneficiary or Beneficiaries that the Account must imperatively be opened in the last name, first name and e-mail address entered by the Client in the Order in order to be attached to the subscribed License. Otherwise, the Client acknowledges and accepts that the Beneficiary or Beneficiaries will be unable to access the Services subscribed to in the License, but only the Solution’s free services.
The Client acknowledges that he has been informed that the Beneficiary may access his Personal Area at any time after having logged in using his username and password, in accordance with the conditions described in the Website’s general terms of use.
The Client acknowledges and accepts that the Beneficiary must use the Services personally and not allow any third party to use them in his or her place or on his own behalf, including by another Beneficiary, subject to the provisions of the article “Description of the Services”. As such, the Client acknowledges that he has been informed that each Beneficiary is solely liable for maintaining the confidentiality of his Account pursuant to the details described in the Website’s general terms of use.
7. Software license on a SaaS basis
Access to the Solution is provided on a SaaS basis (software as a service), with no prior installation of the Solution on the Client’s hardware or devices.
The technical documentation concerning the use of the Solution is supplied to the Client by any means considered appropriate by Wisembly, including through its availability on the Website’s homepage.

The Beneficiary may invite any persons of his choice to participate in a Wiz and to interact with him (hereafter referred to as the “Participant(s)”).
With this in mind, the Beneficiary has the possibility to open up a Wiz to any Participant wishing this, without limitation. The Wiz is made accessible to any Participant on the Website by using a keyword search.

● Supply the Participants he wishes to invite with the keyword assigned to the Wiz in order that they may find it directly on the Website, by any means he considers appropriate;
● Enter the e-mail addresses of the Participants he wishes to invite to the Wiz via his Personal Area. The Participant will then receive an e-mail offering him the possibility to access and participate in the Wiz by means of a link.
Each Participant has the option to connect to and participate in the Wiz as many times as he wishes and at any time during the Wiz.
The number of Participants authorised per Wiz is limited according to the License taken out and the options chosen by the Client, as stated on the Quotation.
The calculation of the number of Participants is performed simultaneously and in real time, according to the number of different devices (computers, smartphones, tablets) connected to the Solution at the same time.

Wisembly provides the Beneficiary with the possibility to assign the administration of a Wiz to one or several Administrators, to assign the moderation of a Wiz to one or several Moderators and finally to confer the organisation of a Wiz upon one or several Organisers.

Furthermore, if Wisembly is required to transfer data to a third-party country or to an international organisation, under the terms of EU law or the law of the member state to which it is subject, it must inform the Client of this legal obligation before the processing takes place, unless the law concerned prohibits the provision of such information on serious public interest grounds;

3. Throughout the Wiz, the connected Participants (via a simple URL, accessible by smartphone, tablet and PC) follow the presentation while the Beneficiary displays each of the different slides in turn.
It should be noted that only ppt, pptx, pdf, jpeg and png formats can be viewed.
4. At the end of the Wiz, the Beneficiary may access the download statistics (for example, the number of downloads for each of the documents).
● Statistics
The “statistics” feature enables the Beneficiary to access all statistics related to the use of the Solution after a Wiz, with no time limit, and to download this information in Excel format for subsequent analysis.
The available statistics are the following:

● Display the content generated on Wisembly in different rooms from the conference rooms (for example on screens in the Cafeteria).
The documentation making it possible to integrate and use this widget is available at the following address: https://github.com/Wisembly/widget-doc
● Multi-sessions
The “multi-sessions” feature makes it possible to have several Wisembly sessions running simultaneously. These sessions are independent and managed as separate Wizs (Single solution).
● Archives
The “Archives” feature enables the Beneficiary to archive the content in order to “classify” it by session.
In doing so, the Beneficiary can quickly find all questions and comments posted during each presentation or roundtable session, and thereby analyse this information in greater detail at the end of the event.
● Multilingual interface
This feature enables the Participants to post their messages in all desired languages.
For its part, the Wisembly interface is available in French, English, German and Italian. 2. Special features
These are the following features:

● User without account
With some licenses, it is impossible for Participants to access the Solution without logging in first. This feature avoids the need for the Participant to log in before accessing a Wiz.
● Exporting content
The content generated by the Participants via the messaging, vote or questionnaire features may be exported from the Solution in the form of Excel or PDF documents according to the license type.
● Interaction by Twitter
This feature makes it possible to locate all tweets associated with a keyword chosen beforehand. ● Interactions by text message
This feature makes it possible for Participants to participate in a Wiz by text message, via a free number, for which call charges do not apply, depending on the provider.
Various numbers are available for this purpose according to the Participants’ countries (France, UK, Belgium, Italy, Russia, USA, Hong Kong).
● Semantic analysis
This feature makes it possible to group the Participants’ messages together by theme.
