Sharework aims to provide the means for a company to communicate its data to partner companies in a secure and selective manner, in order to identify business opportunities and possible synergies with each of these partners.
Todo this, Sharework has developed services to process the Customer Data of two or more companies that wish to collaborate, in order to identify and select theRelevant Data to be shared.
Sharework therefore positions itself as a trusted third-party standing between two or more companies that wish to collaborate and communicate Relevant Data to each other, while ensuring the security and confidentiality of the rest of their data.
In accordance with the obligation set forth in article 1112-1 of the French Civi lCode, Sharework's functionalities and services were presented on Sharework's website (business.sharework.co) or made available on the platform (partners.sharework.co), so that the latter acknowledges and declares:
The User is generally a natural person, acting on behalf of his employer, his instructing party, his partner, his management company, his executive bodies.
In order to avoid any misunderstanding, the User makes the following statement, as far as he is concerned, to Sharework:
(i) For Users who are legal entities:
(ii) For Users who are natural persons:
The purpose of these Terms and Conditions is to define the terms and conditions applicable to the services developed and provided by Sharework.
These General Terms and Conditions are similar in nature to a contract between Sharework and the User.
These General Terms and Conditions operate as law to the parties and shall form part of all Special Agreements that may be concluded between the User and Sharework.
In this event and in the event of a contradiction between one or more provisions of the contractual documents which constitute the Contractual Basis, the provisions of the Special Agreement, as defined, shall prevail, even if this agreement was prior to the current version of these General Conditions.
These General Terms and Conditions are subject to change.
TheParties expressly agree that all future updates shall be automatically enforceable against the User as soon as they have been disclosed, by any means, at least 7 calendar days before they take effect, for the entire duration of the contract.
Given that the current online version of the Application developed by Sharework is aBeta version, Sharework reserves the right to change its pricing policy(article 6).
In such a case, the updating of price conditions will be specially notified, as detailed above, and will give the User who no longer wishes to adhere to theseGeneral Conditions the possibility of revoking the contract under special conditions.
These General Terms and Conditions become effective on the date of their acceptance by the User.
The Application developed by Sharework is available at the following address: partners.sharwork.co
To access the Application, the User must first create a dedicated account by entering an exact e-mail address, which may be used by Sharework to send legal notices or notices relative to the services, and define a personal and confidential password of a sufficiently secure level and comprising at least 8characters of his choice.
To finalize the creation of his account, the User must have read and accepted these General Terms and Conditions.
Then, the User must connect his CRM to Sharework, it being specified that at this stage only "Salesforce" and "Hubspot" CRMs are compatible.
The connection of the User's CRM to Sharework has several effects :
At this stage, and in order to guarantee the User absolute confidentiality and the greatest possible protection of the data present in his CRM, Sharework commits to use irretrievable encryption of all personal data.
Thereafter, if the Designated Third Party responds to the User's invitation, it becomes, in turn, a User within the meaning of this Agreement, i.e. it follows the same use process and also connects its CRM for standardization and analysis purposes.
It is only in this case, and after obtaining the express consent of each of theUsers concerned, that their Common Relevant Data will be extracted from theirCustomer Data and communicated to them according to the sharing terms they have set.
The solutions offered by Sharework are hosted on Google's servers, via its GoogleCloud offer.

In order to continuously improve the services offered, Sharework reserves the right to update or install new versions of its Application.
The User acknowledges that he/she is informed that maintenance operations may be likely to make access to Sharework services temporarily unavailable.
Sharework implements a continuous development process, and should, in principle, be able to update the Application without any interruption of service.
However, in the event that Sharework should interrupt its services to deploy a new version of the software, the company will endeavor to do so under the following conditions:
In either case, these possible service interruptions will not give rise to any compensation.
Sharework keeps all of its data and customer data by applying “at-rest” encryption to it.
Access to the production databases is strictly limited to Sharework personnel in order to enable them to deliver the service covered by this agreement.
Sharework services are available only via the HTTPS communication protocol, which guarantees point-to-point encryption of communication via the Internet.
All code developed by Sharework is subject to extensive review before it can be used in production environments.
An important aspect of this review is to ensure compliance of the code with Sharework's security policy, and to apply good security practices.
In addition, external dependencies (open source or commercial) are continuously monitored in order to detect security breaches that may be present in these dependencies, and to be able to apply appropriate patches as soon as possible.
A technical support service is available at team@sharework.co, free of charge, as soon as the questions asked relate to the use of Sharework services.
The Parties agree that Sharework may, at its discretion, develop services, the elements of which they are composed and their annexes, especially since, at the date hereof, the online version is a beta version and is therefore, by nature, subject to change.
These evolutions will be enforceable against the User as soon as they are launched into production.
In the event that the User refuses these changes, the User shall retain the right to terminate the contract under the conditions provided for in Article 10.
Since, as of the date hereof, the online version of the Application is a Beta version, Sharework services are available free of charge.
If a Special Agreement, prior to or subsequent to this Agreement, should provide otherwise, the terms of such Special Agreement shall apply, in accordance withArticle 1119 of the Civil Code.
This free service is subject to change depending on the development of Sharework's services, which means that the pricing policy as defined herein is also subject to change.
In such a context, Sharework will notify each User who has consented to thisAgreement of its new pricing policy, which will be effective at the end of the second month following the notification.
(Example:notification on 10 June 2020, entry into force on 1 September 2020)
