    PREAMBLE

    Orchesia (hereinafter “Orchesia” or the “Publisher”) operates a web application available at https://app.orchesia.com/app as well as a marketing website available at https://www.orchesia.com.

    Orchesia is a visual and collaborative project management software designed for businesses, freelancers, students and any person wishing to structure and manage their projects.

    The Orchesia service relies on an innovative project management approach combining:

    • a “Mind map” interface based on the WBS (Work Breakdown Structure) method, allowing projects to be structured in a clear hierarchical way;
    • a “Dependencies” interface inspired by network diagrams, making it easier to understand and manage links between tasks.

    By combining these two methods, Orchesia automatically generates the main project management tools expected by any project manager: Gantt chart, calendar, lists, Kanban and summary dashboard.

    Access to the service requires the creation of a user account. When signing up, the user benefits from a free trial period of two (2) weeks, after which full access to their workspaces requires the purchase of an active seat.

    Users can collaborate together within shared workspaces. The website www.orchesia.com and the articles published on it are freely accessible without creating an account.

    Use of the Orchesia service implies full and unconditional acceptance of these Terms of Use.

    Article 2.1 — Purpose of the Terms of Use

    These Terms of Use (the “Terms”) are intended to define the conditions under which:

    • users access and use the website www.orchesia.com;
    • users access, create an account and use the web application https://app.orchesia.com/app;
    • Orchesia provides its visual and collaborative project management services.

    They govern the contractual relationship between Orchesia and any individual or legal entity (hereinafter the “User”) using the service, whether acting in a professional capacity or not.

    Article 2.2 — Scope

    These Terms apply to:

    • any browsing on the www.orchesia.com website;
    • any use of the Orchesia application at app.orchesia.com/app;
    • any creation, management or participation in a workspace within the software.

    Access to the service is open to any user, subject to:

    • creating a user account;
    • express acceptance of these Terms;
    • compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

    Use of the service implies full and unreserved adherence to these Terms, which prevail over any prior or conflicting document.

    Article 2.3 — Applicable Version and Changes

    Orchesia reserves the right to amend these Terms at any time to adapt them to changes in the service, applicable law or operating conditions. Any amendment takes effect upon publication on the site.

    Users are invited to regularly consult the latest version available at: https://app.orchesia.com/app.

    SECTION 3 — USER ACCOUNT AND ACCESS TO THE SERVICE

    Article 3.1 — Account Creation

    To access the main features of the Orchesia application, the user must create a personal account on https://app.orchesia.com/app.

    When creating an account, the following information is required:

    • Last name,
    • First name,
    • Email address,
    • Phone number,
    • Password (encrypted).

    The user may also choose to sign up and log in via a Google account. Creating an account implies full and unconditional acceptance of these Terms of Use.

    Article 3.2 — Account Management

    The user has access to a personal area from which they may:

    • view and modify their information (name, first name, password);
    • manage the workspaces to which they have access.

    The email address used when creating the account is the primary identifier. The user undertakes to provide accurate, up-to-date information and not to impersonate any third party.

    Each user account is personal, unique and non-transferable. A single user may only have one main account but may collaborate in multiple workspaces depending on the rights granted to them.

    Article 3.3 — Trial Period

    When creating an account, the user benefits from a free trial period of two (2) weeks. During this period, they may create and manage as many workspaces as they wish.

    At the end of this period, the workspaces become inaccessible. Access to a workspace is restored as soon as the user has at least one active (paid) seat associated with their account, allowing them to collaborate within that workspace.

    Each seat grants access to one or more workspaces depending on the rights granted by the workspace owner. When the user is the sole member of a workspace, they must hold an administrator seat in order to regain access.

    Article 3.4 — Access Without Active Seat

    The home page https://app.orchesia.com/app and the account management interface remain accessible to any user with an Orchesia account. However, the user will only have access to workspaces for which they hold an active seat.

    Features associated with inactive workspaces remain locked and inaccessible.

    Article 3.5 — Suspension and Termination of Account

    Orchesia reserves the right to suspend or terminate a user account without prior notice in the event of:

    • fraud, abuse or unauthorised use of the service;
    • breach of these Terms;
    • attempted unauthorised access or security breach;
    • conduct causing harm to Orchesia or another user.

    In the event of suspension, access to the account is temporarily blocked. In the event of termination, the account and related data are permanently deleted, with no right to compensation.

    Article 3.6 — User Responsibility

    The user is fully responsible for:

    • all actions performed from their account;
    • the confidentiality of their login credentials;
    • the content they import, create or share via Orchesia.

    The user undertakes to inform Orchesia immediately in case of unauthorised access or compromise of their credentials. Orchesia cannot be held liable for fraudulent use of the account resulting from the user’s negligence.

    SECTION 4 — RULES OF USE AND PROHIBITED CONDUCT

    Article 4.1 — Proper Use and Shared Content

    Users undertake to use Orchesia in compliance with the law, good practice and these Terms of Use. The application must be used only for legitimate personal or professional purposes and may in no case be used for illegal, fraudulent, harmful or unlawful purposes or contrary to public order.

    Users remain solely responsible for the data, files, projects and information they create, store or share via Orchesia. Orchesia does not exercise prior control over such content but reserves the right to remove, without prior notice, any content that is manifestly unlawful or contrary to these Terms once it becomes aware of it.

    It is each user’s responsibility to maintain an external backup of important data. Orchesia cannot be held liable for any loss, alteration or deletion of data resulting from misuse of the service or from the user’s failure to meet their obligations.

    Article 4.2 — Security and Integrity of the Service

    • circumvent security measures in place or exploit a technical vulnerability;
    • deliberately disrupt the operation of the service or harm other users’ experience.

    Any attempt at intrusion or security breach may give rise to civil and/or criminal proceedings.

    Article 4.3 — Fair Use and Respect for the Service

    The user undertakes to behave fairly and respectfully towards the service and other users. In particular, it is forbidden to:

    • use Orchesia to develop, test, promote or distribute a competing service, directly or indirectly;
    • resell, assign or share their account with third parties without Orchesia’s written consent;
    • reproduce, imitate or misappropriate the concept, design, code or any other component of the software without written permission.

    The usage rights granted to each user are strictly personal, non-exclusive and non-transferable.

    In the event of a breach of these Terms, Orchesia may, at its sole discretion:

    • issue a warning to the user concerned;
    • temporarily suspend access to their account;
    • or permanently delete the user account, without notice, in the event of a serious breach.

    Article 4.5 — Limitation of Liability

    Orchesia cannot be held liable for:
