Fleepit Terms of Service

1. The Fleepit Service

Fleepit allows users to upload PDF files and other supported content and convert them into online interactive publications (“Flipbooks”).

Depending on the Service used, Fleepit may allow you to:

• upload a PDF or other supported file;
• convert it into an online Flipbook;
• obtain a URL through which the Flipbook can be accessed and shared;
• obtain a separate administration link (“Admin Link”);
• modify or delete a Flipbook through the Admin Link;
• use additional free or paid features made available by Fleepit.

Certain Services may be available without creating a user account.

The availability, functionality, storage duration, file-size limits and other technical characteristics of the Services may vary depending on the Service or subscription used.

2. Minimum Age

You must be at least 16 years old to use the Services.

If you use Fleepit on behalf of a company, organisation or other legal entity, you represent that you have authority to accept these Terms on its behalf.

3. Your Content

“Content” means any PDF, document, image, text, graphic, photograph, data or other material that you upload, submit, store, publish or make available through Fleepit.

Your Content remains yours

Fleepit does not claim ownership of your Content.

You retain all intellectual property rights and other rights that you hold in your Content.

Permission necessary to operate the Service

By uploading Content, you grant Fleepit a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence, for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the Services, to host, store, process, reproduce, convert, display and technically distribute your Content solely for the purpose of operating, securing, maintaining and providing the Services.

This licence does not transfer ownership of your Content to Fleepit.

You are responsible for your Content

You are solely responsible for the Content that you upload, publish or share using Fleepit.

You represent and warrant that you have all rights, permissions and authorisations necessary to upload the Content and allow Fleepit to process, host and display it as described in these Terms.

4. Flipbook Links and Public Accessibility

When a Flipbook is created, Fleepit may generate a URL through which the Flipbook can be viewed.

Unless an access-control feature offered by Fleepit is expressly enabled, anyone who obtains the Flipbook URL may be able to access the associated Content without creating an account or authenticating their identity.

A Flipbook URL should therefore not be considered a confidential storage mechanism.

You are responsible for deciding with whom you share a Flipbook URL.

You must not publish or share through Fleepit confidential, sensitive, personal or restricted information unless you have the necessary rights and permissions to make that information accessible in this manner.

A Flipbook URL may be forwarded or shared by its recipients. Fleepit cannot control how third parties redistribute a URL once it has been shared.

The fact that a Flipbook may not be indexed by a search engine does not make that Flipbook private or confidential.

5. Admin Links

For Flipbooks created without an account, and for certain other Services, Fleepit may provide a unique administration URL (“Admin Link”).

The Admin Link may allow its holder to perform actions relating to the Flipbook, including modifying settings or deleting the Flipbook.

The Admin Link must be kept confidential.

Anyone who obtains a valid Admin Link may be treated by Fleepit as authorised to administer the corresponding Flipbook.

You are responsible for:

• keeping the Admin Link secure;
• not publishing or unintentionally sharing it;
• storing it if you wish to retain control over the Flipbook.

Fleepit is not responsible for actions performed through an Admin Link that has been disclosed, transferred, intercepted or otherwise obtained by another person, except where liability cannot lawfully be excluded.

If you lose your Admin Link, Fleepit may not be able to verify that you created or control the relevant Flipbook. Fleepit does not guarantee that an Admin Link can be recovered or replaced.

6. Prohibited Content

You must not use Fleepit to upload, store, publish or share Content that:

• is illegal under applicable law;
• contains child sexual abuse material or otherwise sexually exploits or endangers minors;
• unlawfully promotes or facilitates violence, terrorism or criminal activity;
• constitutes unlawful hate speech or unlawful discrimination;
• unlawfully threatens, harasses or abuses another person;
• infringes copyright, trademarks or other intellectual property rights;
• infringes privacy, data protection, confidentiality or other rights of third parties;
• contains malware, viruses, ransomware or other harmful code;
• is intended to facilitate fraud, phishing, impersonation or other deceptive or unlawful conduct;
• contains information that you are not legally entitled to publish or distribute; or
• otherwise violates these Terms.

Fleepit may also restrict Content or uses of the Services that materially threaten the security, integrity or proper operation of Fleepit or its users.

7. Prohibited Use of the Service

You must not:

• interfere with or disrupt the Services;
• attempt to bypass security, access restrictions or technical limitations;
• probe, scan or test Fleepit systems without authorisation;
• introduce malicious software or harmful code;
• use the Services for spam, phishing or fraudulent activity;
• impersonate another person or organisation;
• access non-public systems or information without authorisation;
• reverse engineer the Services except where applicable law expressly permits it;
• use automated systems to abuse or overload the Services;
• resell or commercially exploit the Services without Fleepit’s permission; or
• use Fleepit in violation of applicable law.

8. Reporting a Flipbook

Each Flipbook may include a “Report this Flipbook” feature allowing any person to report Content that they believe violates applicable law or these Terms.

A report may request information including:

• identification or URL of the relevant Flipbook;
• the reason for the report;
• information explaining why the Content is believed to be illegal or contrary to these Terms;
• contact information where appropriate; and
• a confirmation that the report is submitted in good faith.

Reports should be sufficiently precise and substantiated to allow Fleepit to identify and assess the Content concerned.

Fleepit reviews reports in a diligent, objective and non-arbitrary manner and may request additional information where necessary.

Submitting a report does not automatically result in removal of the Content.

Abuse of the reporting system, including knowingly false, fraudulent or malicious reports, may result in restrictions on further use of the Services.

9. Automated Content Detection and Human Review

Fleepit may use automated systems to assist in identifying Content that may violate these Terms or applicable law.

These systems may analyse or process uploaded Content and generate alerts or flags when potentially prohibited or inappropriate Content is detected.

Automated detection does not, by itself, constitute a final determination that Content violates these Terms or applicable law.

Content flagged by our automated systems may be referred to a human reviewer for assessment.

The human reviewer may consider the Content, the context in which it appears, applicable law, these Terms and other relevant information before determining whether action should be taken.

Depending on the circumstances, Fleepit may:

• take no action;
• request additional information;
• restrict access to the Content;
• temporarily disable a Flipbook;
• permanently remove a Flipbook; or
• take other measures required or permitted by law.

Where appropriate and legally required, Fleepit will provide information about the use of automated means in connection with a moderation decision.

10. Moderation and Removal of Content

Fleepit may investigate Content:

• following a user report;
• following an automated detection or alert;
• following a notice from a rights holder, authority or other third party;
• following a court or administrative order; or
• on Fleepit’s own initiative.

Fleepit may restrict access to or remove Content where we reasonably determine that the Content violates these Terms, applicable law or third-party rights, or poses a material security risk to the Services or their users.

Where required by applicable law and where Fleepit has suitable electronic contact information for the affected user, Fleepit will provide information about the decision and the reasons for it, together with available means of contesting the decision.

Fleepit may act without prior notice where immediate action is reasonably necessary or legally required, including in cases involving serious illegal Content, security threats, risk of harm or binding orders from competent authorities.

11. Notice and Action

If you believe that Content available through Fleepit is illegal, you may notify us using the “Report this Flipbook” function available on the relevant Flipbook or another reporting mechanism made available by Fleepit.

To enable us to assess a notice efficiently, it should, where applicable, contain:

• an explanation of why you believe the Content is illegal;
• the exact URL or other information allowing us to locate the Content;
• your name and email address, except where applicable law permits anonymous reporting;
• any relevant supporting information; and
• a statement confirming your good-faith belief that the information provided is accurate and complete.

Fleepit will process sufficiently precise and substantiated notices in a timely, diligent, objective and non-arbitrary manner.

Where contact information has been provided, Fleepit may acknowledge receipt and communicate its decision in accordance with applicable law.

12. Intellectual Property Complaints

Fleepit respects intellectual property rights.

If you believe that Content hosted through Fleepit infringes your copyright, trademark or other intellectual property rights, you may use the reporting mechanism available on the relevant Flipbook or contact Fleepit.

Your notice should identify:

• the protected work or right concerned;
• the allegedly infringing Content;
• the exact location of that Content;
• your contact details;
• the basis on which you claim the relevant rights; and
• a good-faith statement that the information provided is accurate.

Fleepit may request additional information before taking action.

13. Storage and Deletion

Fleepit is a publication and hosting service and should not be used as your sole backup or archival storage system.

You should retain your own copy of all original files uploaded to Fleepit.

Storage periods may depend on the Service or subscription used.

Fleepit may delete Content:

• at the request of a person controlling the relevant Admin Link or account;
• after expiry of an applicable storage period;
• following termination of a paid subscription where applicable;
• where Content violates these Terms or applicable law;
• where deletion is required by a competent authority; or
• where reasonably necessary for security or operation of the Services.

Deletion may be permanent and irreversible.

Fleepit does not guarantee that deleted Content can be recovered.

14. Accounts

Some Services may require an account.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for activity performed through your account.

You must provide accurate information and keep relevant account information reasonably up to date.

You must notify Fleepit if you reasonably believe that your account has been compromised.

15. Paid Services

Certain Fleepit features may require payment or a subscription.

The applicable price, billing period and features will be displayed before purchase.

Subscriptions may renew automatically where indicated at the time of purchase.

You may cancel a subscription in accordance with the cancellation mechanism provided by Fleepit.

Mandatory consumer rights under applicable law remain unaffected by these Terms.

Nothing in these Terms excludes statutory rights relating to digital content or digital services that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

16. Changes to the Services

Fleepit may update, modify, add or remove features from the Services.

We may also introduce or modify technical limits, including file-size, storage, bandwidth or usage limits.

Where a change materially affects a paid Service, we will provide information or notice where required by applicable law.

Fleepit may discontinue all or part of a Service, subject to applicable mandatory law.

17. Availability and Backups

We aim to provide reliable Services, but Fleepit does not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free availability.

The Services may occasionally be unavailable because of maintenance, technical failures, security incidents or circumstances beyond our reasonable control.

You remain responsible for retaining copies and backups of your original Content.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, Fleepit is not responsible for loss resulting solely from your failure to retain a copy of Content uploaded to the Services.

18. Third-Party Services

Fleepit may contain links to or integrations with third-party websites, applications or services.

Fleepit does not control those services and is not responsible for their content, availability, security or practices.

Your use of third-party services may be governed by separate terms and privacy policies.

19. Fleepit Intellectual Property

The Fleepit Services, software, interface, design, trademarks, logos and other materials provided by Fleepit are owned by or licensed to Fleepit and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws.

These Terms do not grant you ownership of Fleepit’s intellectual property.

You may use the Services only as permitted by these Terms.

20. Disclaimer

The Services are provided subject to applicable mandatory law.

Fleepit does not guarantee that the Services will always be available, uninterrupted, secure or free from errors.

Fleepit does not review or endorse all Content uploaded by users and does not guarantee the accuracy, legality or reliability of user Content.

Nothing in these Terms excludes warranties, remedies or other rights that cannot lawfully be excluded under applicable consumer law.

21. Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Fleepit will not be liable for indirect or consequential losses resulting from use of the Services.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability where such exclusion or limitation is prohibited by law, including liability arising from fraud, wilful misconduct or other liability that cannot legally be excluded.

For paid Services, any contractual limitation of liability applies only to the extent permitted by mandatory consumer and commercial law.

22. Your Responsibility and Indemnification

You are responsible for your use of the Services and your Content.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, if your unlawful use of Fleepit or your violation of these Terms causes a third-party claim against Fleepit, you agree to indemnify Fleepit against reasonable losses, costs and expenses arising directly from that claim.

This provision does not limit rights granted to consumers under mandatory law.

23. Suspension and Termination

Fleepit may suspend or terminate access to all or part of the Services where reasonably necessary because of:

• a material or repeated violation of these Terms;
• illegal activity;
• security threats;
• fraudulent or abusive activity;
• non-payment of applicable fees; or
• a legal obligation or binding order.

Where appropriate and legally required, we will explain the reason for the restriction and any available means of contesting it.

24. Changes to these Terms

Fleepit may update these Terms to reflect changes to the Services, applicable law, security requirements or business practices.

The current version will be published on the Fleepit website together with its effective date.

Where required by applicable law, we will provide advance notice of material changes.

Continued use of the Services after the effective date of updated Terms constitutes acceptance of those Terms, except where applicable law requires another form of consent.

25. Privacy

Our processing of personal data is governed by the Fleepit Privacy Policy.

The Privacy Policy explains, among other things, what personal data we process, why we process it, how long it may be retained, with whom it may be shared and the rights available to individuals under applicable data protection law.

26. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect to the extent permitted by law.

Failure by Fleepit to enforce a provision of these Terms does not constitute a waiver of that provision.

27. Applicable Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by French law.

If you are a consumer residing in the European Union or another jurisdiction whose mandatory consumer laws apply, you retain the protections and rights granted to you by those mandatory laws.

Any dispute will be submitted to the competent courts determined in accordance with applicable law.
