<h2>2. Acceptance</h2>
<p>

having read and accepted them prior to any subscription.
</p>
<h2>3. Service description</h2>
<p>FerrLens provides:</p>
<ul>
<li>A suite of free web tools, usable anonymously in the browser at ferrlens.com</li>

<li>For signed-in accounts: tool history and higher rate limits</li>
<li>For Pro subscribers: batch processing and a larger API quota</li>
</ul>
<h2>4. Access tiers and subscription</h2>
<p>
Current pricing is published at
<a href="https://ferrlens.com/pricing">ferrlens.com/pricing</a>. Access is offered at three
levels:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<strong>Anonymous</strong>: free use of the Tools and API, subject to a per-IP rate limit
</li>
<li><strong>Account</strong>: free; adds tool history and higher rate limits</li>
<li>
<strong>Pro</strong>: paid; adds batch processing and an API quota according to the

</li>
</ul>
<p>

the limit resets.
</p>
<h2>5. Payment</h2>
<p>
Payments are made through Stripe Inc. (United States, Data Privacy Framework certified), by
credit card or SEPA direct debit. The Customer expressly authorizes monthly automatic debit.
Each invoice is issued on the subscription anniversary date.
</p>

(termination takes effect at the end of the current billing period). No pro-rata refund.

least as simple as subscription.

<h2>7. Right of withdrawal (consumers only)</h2>
<p>
In accordance with article L.221-18 of the French Consumer Code, a Customer who is a
consumer has a 14-day period to exercise their right of withdrawal.
<strong
>The Customer expressly waives this right by requesting immediate execution of the
Service</strong
>
upon subscription. This waiver is materialized by the checkbox at payment time.
</p>
<h2>8. Acceptable use</h2>
<p>The User undertakes to use the Tools and the API lawfully. In particular, the User must not:</p>

of the web interface)
</li>
<li>
Resell, redistribute or republish the Tools or their output as a competing service
</li>
<li>
Submit input that infringes a third party's rights or that is illegal under French law

They undertake to indemnify FerrLens against any claim, judgment, or defense costs arising
from a misuse of the Tools or the API.
</p>

</p>
<ul>

are informational and depend on third-party data sources (DNS, certificate authorities,
remote servers, etc.)
</li>
<li>
FerrLens may rate-limit, throttle or temporarily suspend access to protect the service
</li>
<li>
To report abuse of the Tools or API, or a security issue, use the procedure published at

</ul>
<h2>11. Personal data</h2>
<p>
Personal data is processed in accordance with the privacy policy published at
<a href="/privacy/">ferrlens.com/privacy</a>. FerrLens is the data controller for account
data and for the limited data processed to run the Tools (such as a transiently used IP
address for rate limiting). Anonymous tool inputs are processed for a single request and are
not retained.
</p>
<h2>12. Intellectual property</h2>
<ul>
<li>
The FerrLens source code, the "FerrLabs" and "FerrLens" trademarks, and all associated
graphical elements remain the exclusive property of Bryan Ferrando — Entrepreneur
individuel.
</li>
<li>
The input you submit to a Tool remains yours. You grant FerrLens only the transient,
non-exclusive license needed to process that input and return the result for the duration
of the request.
</li>
</ul>
<h2>13. Limitation of liability</h2>
<p>
FerrLens is bound by an obligation of means. FerrLens's liability is limited to direct
foreseeable damages and shall not exceed, in any event, the amounts paid by the Customer
over the past 12 months. FerrLens is not liable for indirect damages (loss of revenue,
loss of data not backed up by the Customer, reputational harm).
</p>
<p>
FerrLens is not liable in case of force majeure (infrastructure subcontractor outage, DDoS
attack, network unavailability).
</p>
<h2>14. Modification of terms</h2>
<p>
FerrLens reserves the right to modify these terms. Any modification is notified to the
Customer by email at least 30 days before its entry into force. Failing express opposition
by termination within this period, the new terms are deemed accepted.
</p>
<h2>15. Applicable law and jurisdiction</h2>
<p>
These terms are governed by French law. For any dispute with a professional Customer,
exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Lille.
</p>
<p>
For any dispute with a consumer Customer, in accordance with article L.612-1 of the French
Consumer Code, the Customer may have free recourse to a consumer mediator. Designated
mediator: <span class="placeholder">[À COMPLÉTER — ex : CMAP, Médicys]</span>.
</p>
<h2>16. Final provisions</h2>
<p>
The possible nullity of a stipulation does not entail the nullity of the whole. FerrLens's
failure to exercise a right cannot be interpreted as a waiver.
