The basic features of each Product offered via the Website are set out in a corresponding factsheet, which may be viewed on said Website, in accordance with Article L111-1 of the French Consumer Code.
5.2. Specific features of the Products and Services
5.2.1. Free use subject to conditions
Use of IMAGIFY is free up to 20MB of compression per month.
This use remains conditional on the creation of a Customer Account by the User. WP MEDIA collects the data that the Client provides when registering and may use them later for commercial purposes.
In this context, WP MEDIA complies with the Applicable Regulations, as detailed in article 22 of these GTC.
5.2.2. Paid plans
WP MEDIA offers a range of “Monthly” Plans. These Plans depend on the compression quota granted against monthly payment (either for a period of one month or for a period of twelve months) as described on the Site imagify.io.
The Infinite plan offers unlimited use of IMAGIFY. WP MEDIA specifies that the unlimited use granted in this context remains subject to reasonable and normal conditions of use. WP MEDIA may contact the Client in order to jointly discuss a solution more suited to its needs, if an excessive use is detected.
Under the terms of the Infinite Plan, the creation of sub-accounts is permitted, subject to the condition that such usage remains within the bounds of Fair Use. Accounts that exceed the creation of 50 sub-accounts will be deemed to exceed reasonable use and are, therefore, subject to review. In the event that an account surpasses this threshold, WP Media will contact the account holder for further discussion regarding their usage and propose a customized plan offer.
In any event, WP MEDIA reserves the right, in case of excessive or abusive use, to charge additional fees and/or to limit or suspend the use of the Product and Service.
