These are likely to be regularly updated, and you are therefore advised to read these pages every time you visit the Website. As of that moment, if you continue to visit the Website, this means that you accept the changes made to these conditions.

Any risk arising from the use of the information on the https://elearning.lectra.com Website is the responsibility of the User of the Website’s services. Lectra will not be held liable for any direct, indirect or material damage.

ARTICLE 3: Definitions

The purpose of this article is to define certain terms found in the TOU.

• Website: The Website is the Internet-based platform https://elearning.lectra.com
• User: The User is any person using the Website or one of the services offered on the Website.
• Participant: A Participant is a user identified on the Website.
• Administrator(s): The Administrators are responsible for the day-to-day operations on the Website.
• Content: User Content is data (of any kind) transmitted by the User in the different areas of the Website.

ARTICLE 4: Access to the Website and to the Services offered

The administration team discourages the use of aliases: The First Name and Last Name entered during registration are each person’s "natural" identifiers on the Website, guaranteeing trust between participants to promote optimal relations.

Aliases are nevertheless allowed as "exceptions" requiring prior individual identification and approval by the Website Administrators. They alone must know the person’s true identity. However, we strongly advise against the use of aliases as it does not inspire trust among the other participants on the Website. Moreover, widespread use of aliases can lead to a high risk of spam. When you register, you agree by default to receive notifications by email of activities on the https://elearning.lectra.com website. No commercial information will be communicated through these email notifications of activities. You can change your preferences at any time in your profile, page preferences or notification preferences.

In principle, any notification meant for you will be sent by email to the address that you provided when registering on the Website. It shall be assumed that you have received the notifications 24 hours after an email has been sent, unless the sender has been notified that the email address is invalid.

The Website is a free service open to all natural persons for the main purpose of learning and sharing knowledge, practices and technologies. The Administrator may, without notice and without prejudice, withdraw any post added by an entity (person, company, organization or similar entity) for direct, indirect or disguised advertising purposes, and exclude the User concerned.

Lectra shall strive to ensure access to the Website 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, except in the case of force majeure or an event beyond its control, subject to any breakdowns or maintenance necessary for the smooth running of the Website and services. As a consequence, Lectra cannot guarantee the availability of the Website and/or Services, the reliability of transmissions or performance in terms of response times or quality. Lectra uses a service provider, Enovation Solutions, which is bound by a contract with Lectra.

Each User of https://elearning.lectra.com undertakes to be discreet and respect the privacy of other users, in order to promote good relations.

When using https://elearning.lectra.com, you must not post ideas of a political, religious or ethnic nature on the network, or any other form of discrimination, so as to make it a sharing tool open to everyone, regardless of their background, origins, or religious or political beliefs. The team of moderators for https://elearning.lectra.com reserves the right to send a warning to anyone who violates this rule, or even to exclude them from the website. This applies to all rules set forth in these Terms of Use, especially those specified under the Article "Responsibilities".

You agree not to copy, reproduce, alter, modify, create derivative works or disclose to the public all or part of the content on our Website without our prior express written consent or that of the third parties concerned, which would constitute an infringement punishable by Articles L.335-2 et seq. of the French Intellectual Property Code.

You agree not to use devices of any kind that could disrupt the smooth running of our Website, in particular through actions that place a disproportionate load on the Website.

You agree to defend and hold Lectra harmless (including for reasonable attorney fees) against any demand or claim by a third party, caused or resulting from a violation by you of these TOU or of any document included herein by reference, or from a violation by you of any law or of any right of said third parties.

ARTICLE 5: Personal data protection

5.1 Data

The personal data requested from Users when registering (first and last names, city, country and email address, language, offer type, company name) are essential to provide the https://elearning.lectra.com services. They enable effective communication between Users and also allow us to verify that the User is eligible to access the Website. You are solely responsible for your personal information; the Website merely acts as a passive intermediary for putting it online.

You guarantee that the personal data transmitted are accurate and consistent with reality. If you need to make any changes, please contact lectra.university@lectra.com. More generally, you can exercise your data privacy rights by writing to LECTRA at the following address: DPO, 16-18 rue Chalgrin 75016 PARIS, France or by sending an email to dpo@lectra.com.

Your email address will never be shared by the website. It is used by the Website for the sole purpose of sending you information about the Website and its members.

For customers: data are kept for 10 years.

If you unsubscribe from the Website (also notify us via the contact email address available on each page of the website: lectra.university@lectra.com), we will do our utmost to ensure that your personal data are immediately deleted. For technical reasons, a maximum period of 7 days may nevertheless be required. We keep certain information in our system for the sole purpose of settling disputes, resolving problems and enforcing our Terms of Use. Hence, for technical reasons or due to the backup of our systems, your personal data will remain in our databases after your request for deletion, in compliance with the legal requirements in this field. However, these data will no longer be accessible online.

5.3 Data exchange and transmission

For Lectra employees: automatic transmission to the HRIS system of some training only; extraction is possible on request by the administrators for training monitoring purposes.

For partners/subcontractors/agents: no extraction, no monitoring.

For customers: no extraction, no monitoring.

Finally, Users can freely and spontaneously share personal (non-commercial) data among themselves during their activities on the Website and can also enter such information in the support areas of the Website (e.g. forums). You are entirely responsible for these inputs and exchanges and there is no obligation on our part. It is each person's responsibility not to post on the Website any information that they wish to keep private.

Any message exchanged by two members is known only to its sender and its recipient. When a comment is posted to content on the website, it is visible to the members of the Website.

The Website Administrators do their utmost to protect the confidentiality of your personal data. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee that your private communications and other personal data will not be made public in ways other than those mentioned here (through interception, malicious acts, etc.). We are also under obligation to respond to judicial and third-party requests to enforce the law and various rights. You therefore authorize us to communicate any of your personal information to law enforcement or government representatives if we deem it necessary or appropriate based on an inquiry into fraud, forgery, piracy, or any other illegal activity or an activity for which we could be liable.

5.4 Website access

For customers: You must always ensure that you have a "strong” password, i.e. that it is sufficiently complex that other Users cannot guess it. The password policy is as follows: your password must consist of at least 8 characters, at least 1 number, at least 1 lower case letter, at least 1 upper case letter, and at least 1 non-alphanumeric character.

Your username and your password must not be shared with others, even temporarily. In the event of loss or possible identity theft, please notify us immediately. By accepting these TOU, you undertake to comply with these provisions, attitudes and precautions.

When you access the Website, you will have access to certain information concerning and/or from other Users.
