Terms of Sale

These Terms of Sale apply to the sale, by Equ'un to the customer (the "customer"), of a paid subscription to the Equ'un platform. They define the plans, prices, and the terms of ordering, payment, renewal, and cancellation, as well as the customer's rights. No transaction related to the breeding services themselves is covered: those payments remain settled off the platform, directly between users.

Equ'un offers a free plan and two paid subscriptions. Each subscription raises usage caps and unlocks customization options, without ever restricting access to core features, which remain available to everyone:

• Free plan: 1 active stallion listing, up to 5 photos per stallion, no video, and 10 cross simulations per month. Price: €0.
• Pro subscription: up to 3 active listings, unlimited photos, up to 2 videos per stallion, 100 cross simulations per month, and the sharing and export customization options. Price: €22.80 including VAT per month (€19 excluding VAT), or €214.80 including VAT per year (€179 excluding VAT).
• Elite subscription: unlimited listings, photos and videos, unlimited cross simulations, and the same customization options as the Pro plan. Price: €46.80 including VAT per month (€39 excluding VAT), or €438 including VAT per year (€365 excluding VAT).
• Two limits apply identically to every plan, paid ones included: 3 foals declared per stallion, and 2 photos per foal.

The prices including VAT shown above incorporate French value added tax at 20 %. If you reside in another European Union member state, the applicable rate is the one in your country, and the corresponding amount is shown to you on the payment page. If you are a business established in the European Union and hold a valid intra-EU VAT number, the reverse charge applies and you pay the amount excluding VAT. The prices in force are those displayed on the Pricing page at the time of the order.

Subscribing to a plan is done online through the following steps:

• You must have an Equ'un account and be signed in.
• You select the plan (Pro or Elite) and the billing period (monthly or annual).
• A confirmation screen shows you the details of your order: the plan chosen, the billing period, and the date of the next renewal. On that screen you confirm that you request immediate performance of the service and that you have understood the consequences of that request for your right of withdrawal, under the conditions set out in article 8.
• You are then redirected to our provider's secure payment page, where you enter your card details and definitively confirm the order. Confirming payment constitutes acceptance of these Terms of Sale and entails an obligation to pay.
• An electronic invoice is made available to you after you subscribe, and again at every renewal. You can view it and download it from the Subscription tab of your profile.

Payment for subscriptions is processed by our payment provider, Stripe. Accordingly:

• Payment and subscription management are handled by Stripe, the payment provider.
• Payment is made by bank card or by any other means offered by Stripe.
• Your card details are entered directly with Stripe and never pass through Equ'un's servers.
• Payments are denominated in euros and charged automatically at each renewal date.

The applicable value added tax is determined according to your country of residence and your status, and its amount is shown to you on the payment page, before any charge is taken. For business customers in the European Union holding a valid intra-EU VAT number, the reverse charge applies. Invoices are issued in electronic format by our invoicing provider, and you can view and download them at any time from the Subscription tab of your profile.

The subscription is taken out for the chosen period, monthly or annual. Regarding duration:

• The subscription takes effect as soon as payment is confirmed and covers the chosen period.
• The subscription renews automatically at the renewal date, for an identical period, by charging the amount in force, until it is cancelled.
• On a monthly subscription you can cancel at any time, with no notice period and no fee, to prevent the next renewal. There is therefore no deadline you could miss.
• On an annual subscription, article L.215-1 of the French Consumer Code requires us to inform you, between three months and one month before the deadline for declining renewal, of your right not to renew. We send you that information in a dedicated email, around 45 days before the renewal, stating the deadline you must not miss. If that information has not been sent to you within that window, you may end the contract free of charge at any time from the renewal date, and any amount charged after that date is refunded to you.
• The date of your next renewal is also shown at all times in the Subscription tab of your profile.

The subscription may end under the following conditions:

• You can cancel your subscription at any time from your subscription management area (our payment provider's portal). Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current, already-paid period; you keep paid access until that date.
• Equ'un may suspend or cancel a subscription in the event of a breach of these Terms of Sale or the Terms of Use, or of a payment failure.
• When the subscription ends, your account automatically switches to the free plan. Content exceeding the free-plan caps is then hidden as described in article 10.

If you are a consumer, meaning a natural person subscribing outside of any professional activity, you have a fourteen (14) day right of withdrawal from the date of subscription. Since the subscription is a digital service whose performance begins immediately, this right applies on the following terms:

• You may withdraw within 14 days of subscribing, without having to give a reason and without penalty.
• By subscribing, you expressly request immediate performance of the service, meaning immediate access to the subscription's features, before the end of the withdrawal period.
• If you withdraw after requesting that immediate performance, you remain liable for the service already provided, calculated pro rata for the days during which you had access to the subscription (article L.221-25 of the French Consumer Code). The balance is refunded to you.
• The right of withdrawal is lost entirely only where the service has been fully performed before the end of the 14 days (article L.221-28 of the French Consumer Code), which is not the case for a subscription that continues beyond that period.
• To withdraw, send us an unambiguous statement by email to [email protected], or use the model form below. The refund is made no later than 14 days after we receive your request, using the same means of payment as the one used to subscribe.

Model withdrawal form (copy and return it to us only if you wish to withdraw):

Using this form is not mandatory: any clear statement expressing your decision to withdraw is sufficient.

Two situations must be distinguished, because they do not follow the same rule. If you exercise your right of withdrawal under the conditions of article 8, you are refunded the balance after deduction of the service already provided, and that refund is owed to you. Outside that case, an ordinary cancellation part-way through a period gives rise to no pro rata refund: you simply keep paid access until the end of the period already paid for. The rights the law otherwise gives you, in particular where the service does not conform, remain untouched.

If a charge fails at the renewal date, the following mechanism applies:

• Our payment provider automatically makes several further charge attempts.
• If payment remains impossible, the subscription is treated as unpaid and your account switches to the free plan.
• Content that exceeds the free-plan caps (extra listings, photos, and videos) is then hidden, meaning made not visible, but it is not deleted.
• As soon as the payment is settled or a new subscription is taken out, that content becomes visible again. If you notice that hidden content has not been restored, write to us at the address given in article 16 and we will restore it.

Equ'un may offer a referral program rewarding the recommendation of new users. Its rules are as follows:

• The referrer receives a reward in the form of one free month of the Pro subscription.
• The reward is granted once the person you referred meets three conditions: their email address is confirmed, their first stallion listing was published at least 14 days ago, and they have a listing online at the moment the reward is granted. A referral that has not met these conditions within 90 days of sign-up expires.
• The number of free months per referrer is capped per calendar year.
• The form the reward takes depends on your situation at the time it is granted. If you have no paid subscription running, it takes the form of a free trial period, with no payment commitment for as long as you provide no payment method, and at the end of which your account simply returns to the free plan. If you are already a paying subscriber, it takes the form of a discount applied once to your next invoice, equal in amount to one month of the Pro subscription.
• Any fraudulent or abusive use of the program (fake accounts, self-referral, etc.) results in cancellation of the rewards and may lead to suspension of the account.

Equ'un uses its best efforts to ensure the availability and reliability of the platform. The service is nonetheless provided on an "as-is" basis and may experience interruptions, in particular for maintenance or for reasons beyond our control. Such interruptions do not give rise to compensation, without prejudice to the rights the law grants consumers.

Equ'un may change its prices and these Terms of Sale. The prices applicable to a running subscription remain those in force at the last renewal: a price change can therefore only apply to you from a renewal onwards, and you remain free to cancel at any time if you do not accept it, under the conditions of article 7. Any substantial change to these Terms of Sale requires a fresh acceptance from you at your next order: the version you accept is recorded, and an order referring to an outdated version is refused.

In connection with the sale of subscriptions:

• Equ'un is responsible for providing the features of the subscribed plan, in accordance with their description.
• Equ'un is not responsible for the relationships between users or for breeding transactions, which remain off the platform.
• Equ'un cannot be held liable in the event of force majeure or the act of a third party, in particular a failure of the payment provider.
• Nothing in these Terms of Sale limits the rights the law grants consumers, in particular the statutory guarantees of conformity applicable to digital content and services.

These Terms of Sale are governed by French law and the law of the European Union. If you are a consumer, you keep the benefit of the mandatory provisions of the law of your country of residence and may bring proceedings before the courts of your domicile.
