Access to the Solution by the User is done by means of his Logins. For this purpose, DataGalaxy will send by e-mail the URL allowing the User to connect and create his password.

Furthermore, in case of an infringement action by a third party, DataGalaxy may, under its sole responsibility and at its own expense, (i) modify the Solution so that it can no longer be considered as infringing, (ii) replace the Solution or the infringing element with a non-infringing element with globally equivalent functionalities, or (iii) obtain the rights of use so that the User may continue to use the Solution in accordance with the terms of the GTU. If DataGalaxy considers that it is not commercially reasonable to implement one of these alternatives, it may immediately terminate the License Agreement and refund the amounts paid by the Customer for the current License(s).

DataGalaxy does not guarantee that the Solution or the Services are free of defects, errors or malfunctions, but guarantees the conformity of the Services to the Documentation under the conditions of article 6 above.
