10. WARRANTY

a. Exclusion of Warranty by Apple or Any Other Application Store

Antescofo is solely responsible for the warranty of the Application, whether express or implied. Apple, Google, or any other application store have no other warranty obligation whatsoever in relation to the Application. Any other claim, loss, liability, damage, cost, or expense attributable to any failure to comply with a warranty will be the sole responsibility of Antescofo.

b. Warranty of Eviction under the French Consumer Code

Antescofo warrants that it holds the necessary authorizations for the execution and performance of the Contract.

When a restriction resulting from the violation of the rights of any third party, particularly intellectual property rights, prevents or limits the use of the digital content or digital service in accordance with the provisions of articles L.224-25-13 and L.224-25-14 of the French Consumer Code, you may seek the nullity of the contract or any other contractual remedy available under the provisions of the French Civil Code.

c. Legal Warranty of Conformity under the French Consumer Code

Antescofo warrants the Application under the legal warranty of conformity for digital contents and services provided in articles L224-25-12 to L224-25-26 of the French Consumer Code.

Antescofo warrants, for the duration of your paid subscription, that the Application is:

Consistent with its description in the FAQ of the "Help" tab of your account, accessible in the Application and on the metronautapp.com website;
Provided with an assistance service described in the Contract;
Provided with updates in accordance with the Contract.

Antescofo also warrants that the Application:

Is fit for the usual expected use of a digital service of the same type;
Possesses at least the qualities presented in its free version and during the trial period;
Is provided according to the most recent version that is available;
Is provided without interruption throughout your subscription in accordance with its characteristics described in article 1;
Corresponds to the quality and other characteristics, including in terms of functionality, compatibility, accessibility, continuity, and security, that a consumer may legitimately expect for digital services of the same type, given the nature of the Application as well as the public statements made by Antescofo, including in advertising.

d. Implementation of the Legal Warranty of Conformity

In case of a lack of conformity, you are entitled to request that Antescofo take any action to assure the conformity of the Application or, failing that, to a reduction in price or to the resolution of the Contract, under the following conditions.

Moreover, you have the right to suspend the payment of your subscription until Antescofo has fulfilled its obligations under this subsection and articles 1219 and 1229 of the French Civil Code.

You may request that Antescofo take any action to bring the Application into conformity, without undue delay following your request, without cost, and without major inconvenience to you.

You are not required to pay for the Application during the period during which the Application was not in conformity.

If it proves impossible or involves disproportionate costs to bring the Application into conformity, particularly in relation to the significance of the lack of conformity and the value of the subscription, Antescofo may provide another remedy (price reduction or contract termination) as stated below.

Antescofo is not responsible for the lack of conformity if it demonstrates that it is directly attributable to the incompatibility between the Application and your digital environment. IN THIS REGARD, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE HAVING BEEN INFORMED THAT THE APPLICATION IS COMPATIBLE WITH iOS OR ANDROID AND ON MAC OS OR WINDOWS FOR ITS WEB VERSION. You are required to cooperate with Antescofo, to the extent that it is reasonably possible, necessary, and the least intrusive for you, in order to determine whether the lack of conformity is caused by an incompatibility.

You can obtain a reduction in price while keeping your subscription, or terminate the contract if:

Antescofo refuses to bring the Application into conformity;
The conformity of the Application is unjustifiably delayed;
The conformity of the Application cannot occur at no cost for you;
The conformity of the Application causes you major inconvenience;
The non-conformity of the Application persists despite an unsuccessful attempt to bring it into conformity. You also have the right to a price reduction or contract termination when the lack of conformity is so serious that it justifies the immediate price reduction or contract termination. You are then not required to request beforehand that Antescofo take any action to bring the Application into conformity.

You do not have the right to terminate the Contract if Antescofo demonstrates that the lack of conformity is minor.

In the event that you decide to notify Antescofo of your decision to terminate the Contract for valid reasons:

You will immediately refrain from using the Application or making it accessible to third parties;
You are entitled to a refund within 14 days of the proportional part of the price of your subscription for the period prior to termination during which the Application was not in conformity;
During this period, you may save your recordings on your device, provided that the audio/video files are downloadable (which is typically the case for pieces of music in the public domain);
After this period, you will no longer have access to the Application, and your account will be deactivated.

ALL REQUESTS FOR REFUNDS UNDER THE WARRANTY MUST BE ADDRESSED TO YOUR APPLICATION STORE FOR THE MOBILE VERSION OR TO ANTESCOFO FOR THE WEB VERSION VIA THE SUPPORT SECTION OF THE APPLICATION.
