Nevertheless, in view of the nature and number of the processed data, Trends Business Information cannot guarantee its total exactitude, nor its exhaustiveness. Trends Business Information assumes an obligation of means. Any claim must, to be admissible, arrive in writing within the 30 calendar days following delivery of the order. After this date, any delivery shall be considered to be in conformity with the specifications of the Order Form. If the Trends Business Information&#8217;s liability were to be invoked, this would be explicitly limited to the amount of the order invoiced to the customer.

He may not sell, rent or transfer it, for free or for money, to any\u00a0third party without Trends Business Information&#8217;s prior written consent. If the customer is led for internal management reasons to transfer the data to a third party,\u00a0he undertakes vis-\u00e0-vis Trends Business Information\u00a0to guarantee that it will not be disseminated, in any shape or form whatsoever, by that third party. In the event of any breach of this provision, Trends Business Information\u00a0reserves the right to claim damages amounting contractually to at least ten times the price of the ordered<br \/>\ndata, unless there is more serious prejudice.<\/p>\n<p>7.b.The customer acknowledges that when they use the personal data provided by Trends Business Information, they comply with the applicable legislation on the protection of privacy (GDPR \u2013 Regulation (EU) 2016\/679 of April 27, 2016)<\/p>\n<p>As for the use of the phone numbers purchased from Trends Business Information, the customer will comply with all aspects of the legislation concerning the &#8220;Do not call me&#8221; list<\/p>\n<div class=\"separator transparent center \"><\/div>\n<h5>PRICE AND INVOICING<\/h5>\n<p>Without written contrary stipulation, all orders are payable cash on delivery. Subscriptions are payable in advance, in cash, at the initial delivery. All the stipulated prices are indicated &#8220;net of tax&#8221;. All applicable duties and taxes are at the customer&#8217;s charge. The prices indicated are dependent on the rate in force at the time of the signature on the Order Form or contract. Trends Business Information reserves the right to change these at any time, except in the case of subscription, where prices can be reviewed annually. In the event of non-payment at maturity, late interest of 1% per month shall be automatically due, without prior formal notification, on the unpaid amounts. Any month that is started shall be considered to be a whole month. In the event of non-payment at maturity, the amount of the invoice shall, automatically and without prior formal notification, be increased by 15%.
