5. eBooks Order
5.1. Essential Features, Functionality and Interoperability of eBooks
Glose is available on iOS, Android and all web browsers, on computer,
tablet and mobile devices.
Every eBook that has been opened can then be read with or without an
internet connection.
5.2. Price
5.2.1 Free eBooks
The first 10% of each eBook are free to read, except for those which
are fully free to read (“Free” category). To access them, the User
simply needs to click on "Read" on the page of the eBook concerned.
5.2.2 Paid eBooks
The confirmation of the Order entails the User's obligation to pay the
price indicated.
The sale prices are indicated, for each eBook, in euros, all taxes
included. The total amount due by the User is recalled on the Order
confirmation page.
The sale price of the product is the one in effect on the day of the
Order.
In the event of a price promotion, GLOSE undertakes to apply the
promotional price to all Orders placed during the period of
advertising for the promotion.
GLOSE reserves the right to modify its prices at any time, while
guaranteeing the User the application of the price in force on the day
of his Order.
5.3 Processing of the Order
To place an Order, the User clicks on the "Buy Now" button. The User
is invited to fill in his credit card information, which is necessary
for us to set the price of the eBook (eBook prices vary depending on
the User's country). No payment is made at this stage.
Thereafter, the User has the opportunity to check the details of his
Order and its total price and to return to the previous pages to
correct any errors or possibly modify it. He then confirms his Order.
Acceptance of the eBook offer by the User is validated, in accordance
with the double-click process, by confirmation of the Order which
implies acceptance of the Terms of Use and forms the eBook contract of
sale.
The confirmation of the Order also implies, in accordance with the
Article L. 121-21 13° of the French Consumer Code, a request for
immediate access to the eBook ordered and waiver by the User of his
right of withdrawal.
The price is due in full upon confirmation of the Order which is
accompanied by an obligation to pay.
An e-mail acknowledging receipt of the Order and its payment is sent
by GLOSE to the User shortly after.
5.4 Payment
Payment shall be made immediately upon confirmation of the Order, by
credit card. The User is required to provide the name of the
cardholder, the number of his bank card, its expiry date and its
cryptogram.
The User guarantees that he is fully entitled and authorized to use
said card and that the card gives access to sufficient funds to cover
all costs resulting from his Order. In order to limit the risks of
fraud and to protect the interests of the Users, GLOSE may be led to
refuse payment by credit card.
The Website and the Application offer a secure payment system
(encryption, encryption of bank data and transmissions via the STRIPE
payment service provider).
5.5 Delivery
Delivery means the transfer to the User of access to the entire eBook
ordered.
5.6 Withdrawal
The User is informed that, in accordance with the Article L. 121-21-8
13° of the French Consumer Code, the right of withdrawal is not
applicable to eBooks ordered on the Platform insofar as this right
cannot be exercised for digital content not provided on a physical
medium whose execution has begun after prior express agreement of the
User and express renunciation of his right of withdrawal.
5.7 Legal guarantees
Every eBook provided by the Platform benefits from the legal guarantee
of conformity provided by Articles L.217-4 and following of the French
Consumer Code, and the guarantee for hidden defects provided by
Articles 1641 to 1649 of the French Civil Code.
5.7.1 Guarantee of conformity
GLOSE shall provide the User with an eBook compliant with the Order
and shall be liable for any lack of conformity existing at the time of
delivery.
The User is informed that, by virtue of the law, in order to comply
with the Order, a product must:
• Be fit for the use normally expected of a similar good
and, where applicable:
- correspond to the description given by the seller and possess
the qualities that the seller has presented to the buyer in the
form of a sample or model;
- have the qualities that a buyer can legitimately expect in view
of the public statements made by the seller, particularly in
advertising or labelling;
• Or present the characteristics defined by mutual
agreement between the parties or be suitable for any special purpose
sought by the buyer, brought to the knowledge of the seller and
accepted by the latter.
Defects of conformity that appear within twenty-four months of
delivery of the eBook are presumed to exist at the time of delivery,
unless proven otherwise.
The User who wishes to implement this guarantee of conformity must
address a complaint to GLOSE under the conditions of article 11.1 in
order to obtain the replacement of the eBook or possibly the
cancellation of the sale. In this case, it shall be incumbent upon the
User to demonstrate non-compliance.
5.7.2 Guarantee for hidden defects
The User may decide to implement the guarantee against hidden defects
of the eBook sold, within the meaning of Article 1641 of the French
Civil Code. In this case, he can choose between cancellation of the
sale or a reduction of the sale price, in accordance with Article 1644
of the French Civil Code.
6. Personal account and Content deletion
6.1. Personal account deletion
6.1.1 Cases of Personal account deletion
The User may delete his User account at any time at the User’s
discretion in the "Account Settings" section.
GLOSE may also delete the User's account in the event that the User
has not complied with the Terms of Use. Unless the User’s breach is of
such gravity that it justifies the immediate deletion of the User's
account, GLOSE will notify to the User the upcoming deletion of the
User’s account with a seven-day prior notice allowing the User to
submit his comments.
6.1.2 Consequences of Personal account deletion
The deletion of the User's account will prevent the User from
accessing all of the Services and will result in the deletion of the
User's name from all Contributions and Content generated by the User
on the Platform.
GLOSE undertakes to destroy all personal data relating to the User
whose account has been deleted within seven (7) days.
6.2. Content deletion
GLOSE will remove, without any delay, prior notice or formality, any
Content published on the Application and the Website that violates
these Terms of Use or contravenes the law in force in France.
7. Account transfer and content export
In certain circumstances, it may be necessary or desirable to transfer a
User's account of the “Glose Education” platform to the standard "Glose"
Platform (for example, in the case of a User who graduates and is no
longer registered in a school). In this respect, a transfer may be
preferable to deletion of the User's account so that the User can retain
his or her rights to his or her eBooks, his or her content and his or
her data.
GLOSE will make its best efforts to allow transfers of accounts of Users
concerned by such circumstances at the request of the User or the User’s
school.
8. Intellectual Property
8.1. Intellectual property related to the eBooks
The works made available to Users by GLOSE on the Website and the
Application in the form of eBooks may be the exclusive property of
their publisher(s) and/or author(s). Each of the works thus made
available by GLOSE on the Super Reader is either GLOSE’s proprietary
content or has been authorized by the author, the publisher or their
rights holders, allowing its publishing on the Platform. GLOSE has
validly obtained, when applicable, the authorization to use, under the
conditions set forth herein, the eBooks and the Content associated
with them that is displayed on Glose (authors’ biographies, packaging
visuals, etc.)
GLOSE grants the registered User, for the duration of the User’s
registration, a limited, personal, revocable, non-exclusive,
non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to display and adapt the
eBooks on the Super Reader. Under the right of display, the User is
authorized to read eBooks by displaying them on his device (computer,
tablet or smartphone). Under the right of adaptation, he is authorized
to annotate the eBook, comment on it, highlight it, and react to it by
inserting Content.
Any reproduction, representation or modification of eBooks, whether
total or partial, by any means whatsoever, outside of the
above-mentioned limits, and in particular outside the Website and/or
the Application, is prohibited and would constitute an infringement of
intellectual property rights punishable by Articles L. 335-2 et seq.
of the French Intellectual Property Code.
The User acknowledges that the eBooks made available to him on the
Website and the Application are protected by technical protection
measures specifically designed by Glose to prevent uses of eBooks that
are not expressly permitted by these Terms of Use.
The User undertakes not to circumvent, in any way whatsoever, said
technical protection measures in order to download the eBooks or more
generally in order to use said eBooks for purposes not authorised by
these Terms of Use.
The fact of knowingly infringing a technical protection measure is
punishable by a fine of 3750 euros under Article L. 335-4-1 of the
French Intellectual Property Code, and the fact of knowingly providing
means to infringe a technical protection measure is punishable by a
prison term of six months and a fine of 30,000 euros.
8.2. Intellectual property related to the Website, the Application and their elements
GLOSE is the exclusive owner, worldwide, of the intellectual property
rights relating to the Website and the Application as well as to all
their visual elements (texts, images, user interface, graphic
charter), their software (Super Reader, proprietary DRM system,
content processing programs, reading analytics etc.), their databases
(Glose library, Users’ Contributions, Content, etc.) (hereinafter,
collectively, the "Proprietary Elements"). These
rights are either initially vested to GLOSE , or validly acquired from
the initial owner.
GLOSE does not grant any assignment, license or rights on the
Proprietary Elements except the right to use the Services on the
Application and the Website solely in accordance with these Terms of
Use and during the term of the User’s valid personal User account.
Any reproduction and representation, in whole or in part, of the
Website or the Application and/or the elements composing them by any
means whatsoever, without the express authorisation of GLOSE is
therefore prohibited and would constitute a breach of these Terms of
Use and an infringement of intellectual property rights under
applicable law.
The reproduction, the representation and/or the modification of any
element of the Application or Website that exceeds the functionalities
of the Services as described in these Terms of Use is strictly
prohibited.
No license to or right in any trademarks, corporate names, logos,
domain names and distinctive signs, patents, trade secrets, or
processes of GLOSE, its affiliates and/or other parties that the
Platform may contain or refer to is granted to or conferred upon you.
Any use by the User of the foregoing is strictly prohibited except
with the express prior consent of GLOSE. If necessary, the request for
authorisation should be sent to the following address: contact@glose.com.
GLOSE reserves the right to take legal action against any act of
infringement of intellectual property rights, counterfeiting, unfair
competition against it and, more generally, any act violating its
rights.
8.3. Intellectual property of the Users
Users acknowledge, represent and warrant that they own all the
intellectual property rights to the Content they publish on the
Platform, either because these rights were originally vested in them
(e.g. an original Contribution of a User) or because they have validly
acquired the rights thereto from their legitimate owner (e.g.
reproduction of the image or text of a third party). The Users
guarantee GLOSE in this respect.
Users grant GLOSE, on a non-exclusive basis, for the entire world and
for the duration of copyright protection, the right to reproduce,
display and adapt the Content they publish on the Application and the
Website. Under this license, GLOSE is authorized to publish the
Content on the Platform, to share it with other Users, and to make any
technical modifications, but also to distribute it as part of the

whether online or offline.

Use or to a criminally reprehensible act that caused direct damage to

performance of all or part of the Services which may originate from
the User or from the acts or omissions of a third party.

effect.
No failure or delay in enforcing any provision, exercising any option,
or requiring performance, shall be construed to be a waiver of that or
any other right in connection with the Agreement.

be permitted by law.
