Website Terms of Use

Last updated

1. These terms

https://www.trustline.id and its subdomains (the "Website") are operated by TRUSTLINE DIGITAL ASSET LTD ("Trustline", "we", "us", "our"), registered in England and Wales under company number 17356174, whose registered office is at The Barn, c/o Integral Associates Limited, Rear of 3-5 Church Street, Ampthill, Bedford, England, MK45 2PJ, United Kingdom. Contact legal@trustline.id.

By using the Website you accept these terms (the "Terms"). If you do not accept them, do not use the Website.

The Terms govern your use of the Website only. The supply of Trustline's services is governed by the separate signed contract between Trustline and its customer, which prevails over these Terms in respect of those services. Our Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy and Legal Notice also apply.

We may amend these Terms by posting an amended version here. The version that applies is the one in force when you use the Website.

The Website is directed at professional users. It is not intended for anyone under 18.

2. Availability

The Website is provided free of charge. Trustline undertakes to use reasonable efforts (obligation de moyens) to keep it available, but does not guarantee that it will be uninterrupted, error free or secure, and may suspend, withdraw or change it without notice.

You are responsible for the arrangements needed to access the Website, and for ensuring that anyone accessing it through your connection complies with these Terms.

3. Credentials

Any user identification code, password, API key or private key issued to you as part of our security procedures is confidential and must not be disclosed. We may disable it where you have breached these Terms or where necessary to protect the security of the Website, our services or another user. Notify us at legal@trustline.id if you suspect anyone else has obtained it; you remain responsible for its use until you do.

4. Acceptable use

You must not:

  • use the Website in breach of any applicable law, or for any unlawful or fraudulent purpose;
  • upload or transmit material that is unlawful, defamatory, obscene, deceptive or infringing of another person's rights;
  • attempt to gain or maintain unauthorised access to the Website or to any server, computer or database connected to it, or obstruct or distort its functioning;
  • introduce any virus, trojan, worm, logic bomb, spyware, ransomware or other harmful material, or fraudulently alter or delete data;
  • attack the Website by means of a denial-of-service attack;
  • reproduce, resell, scrape or systematically extract any substantial part of the Website or its content;
  • reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble any part of the Website, except as expressly permitted by law;
  • use the Website to develop a competing product or service, or to benchmark it for publication without our written consent;
  • use robots, spiders or scrapers to send more requests than a person could reasonably produce in a browser, or to harvest personal data.

Conduct of this kind may be a criminal offence, in particular under Articles 323-1 to 323-7 of the French Penal Code and under equivalent provisions where you access the Website. We may report it to the competent authorities and cooperate with them.

If you believe you have found a security vulnerability, report it to legal@trustline.id and give us a reasonable opportunity to respond before disclosing it. Good-faith testing that is responsibly reported, and that does not access another person's data, degrade the service or exfiltrate information, will not be treated as a breach of this section.

5. Intellectual property

The Website, its structure, source code, databases, text, images, graphics, logos and other elements are protected by the French Intellectual Property Code and international conventions, and remain the exclusive property of Trustline or of those who licensed them to it.

Trustline is the producer of the databases accessible on the Website within the meaning of Articles L.341-1 and following of that Code. Extraction or re-utilisation of a substantial part of their contents, and repeated extraction of insubstantial parts, is prohibited.

You may view the Website and print or download extracts for your own internal business reference, without modifying them and acknowledging Trustline's authorship. Any other use requires a licence from us. Unauthorised reproduction is an infringement (contrefaçon) punishable under Articles L.335-2 and following of that Code.

"Trustline" and the Trustline logo are trade marks used by Trustline. Other trade marks appearing on the Website belong to their owners.

6. No reliance

Content on the Website is general information and has no contractual value. It is not advice and you should take professional advice before acting on it. Nothing on the Website constitutes financial, investment, tax, accounting, security or legal advice, an offer or invitation to buy or sell any asset, or a recommendation to enter into any transaction. Trustline is not authorised or regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.

We make no warranty that the content is accurate, complete or up to date. Technical descriptions, specifications, integration patterns, roadmaps and performance characteristics are indicative and may change. The definitive scope of any Trustline service is set out in the signed contract for that service.

Links to third-party sites are provided for information only, do not imply approval, and Trustline accepts no responsibility for them.

7. Liability

Trustline is bound by an obligation of means (obligation de moyens) in relation to the Website. Trustline is not liable for any interruption or malfunction arising from the internet, your equipment or software, or any other cause beyond its control; for damage caused to your equipment by accessing the Website; for the content of linked sites; for your use of information published here; or for force majeure within the meaning of Article 1218 of the French Civil Code.

In accordance with Articles 1231-3 and 1231-4 of the French Civil Code, Trustline is liable only for direct damage that was foreseeable when these Terms were accepted. Trustline is not liable for indirect damage, including loss of profit, turnover, business, data or opportunity, or damage to image or reputation.

Nothing in these Terms excludes Trustline's liability for bodily injury, for dol or fraud, for gross negligence (faute lourde), or in any other case where liability cannot lawfully be excluded. In accordance with Article 1170 of the French Civil Code, no provision of these Terms shall be construed as depriving Trustline's essential obligation of its substance.

You are responsible for the consequences of your use of the Website and shall indemnify Trustline against any third-party claim arising from your breach of these Terms.

We do not guarantee that the Website is free from bugs or viruses. You are responsible for configuring your own equipment and using your own virus protection.

8. Breach

Where Trustline reasonably considers that these Terms have been breached, it may take such action as it deems appropriate, including withdrawing your right to use the Website, legal proceedings for the costs resulting from the breach, and disclosure of information to the competent authorities where necessary.

9. General

Entire agreement. These Terms and the documents referred to in them constitute the entirety of the agreement between you and Trustline about your use of the Website.

Severability. If any provision is held invalid, it shall be deemed unwritten (réputée non écrite) where the law so provides and, failing that, annulled, without affecting the remainder, in accordance with Article 1184 of the French Civil Code, unless it was a determining element of the parties' consent.

No waiver. Not requiring performance of a provision, or not enforcing a right, is not a waiver of it.

Transfer. You agree in advance, for the purposes of Article 1216 of the French Civil Code, that Trustline may transfer these Terms to a third party in connection with a reorganisation, merger or sale of business, such transfer to be recorded in writing. You may not transfer your rights or obligations without our prior written consent.

Language. These Terms are drawn up in English. Where a translation is provided, the English version prevails.

10. Applicable law and jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by French law.

In the event of a dispute, the parties shall first make reasonable efforts to reach an amicable solution. Failing that, and where you are acting for the purposes of your trade or business, any dispute shall be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Commercial Court of Paris (Tribunal de commerce de Paris), notwithstanding plurality of defendants, third-party proceedings or incidental claims, including in interim or emergency proceedings.

Where you are a consumer, the choice of French law does not deprive you of the protection of the mandatory provisions of the law of the country where you habitually reside, and you may bring proceedings before the courts of that country.
