Terms and Conditions of Sale

Advertising Space Booking Service — Enerzine

Version in force as at: 1 January 2026

Disclaimer. These Terms and Conditions may be made available in English for convenience only. In the event of any discrepancy, inconsistency, or dispute concerning interpretation, the French version shall prevail.

1. Publisher and subject matter

These general terms and conditions of sale and service provision (hereinafter the ‘GTC’) govern the terms under which Venixxia Technologie SARL with a share capital of 8,000 euros, whose registered office is situated at 15 Grande rue, 92310 SEVRES, registered with the Nanterre Trade and Companies Register (92) under number 47832768700016, with intra-Community VAT number FR90478327687 (hereinafter ‘Enerzine’ or ‘the Publisher’), provides a service for the publication of sponsored articles on the website enerzine.com.

Enerzine can be contacted at the following URL: Formulaire

The service enables a professional advertiser or, where applicable, their duly authorised representative (hereinafter the ‘Client’), to commission the drafting, adaptation, integration, publication and, depending on the options selected, the distribution of sponsored content.

These Terms and Conditions apply to any order placed by the Customer via the order page, the pricing configurator, a quotation, a purchase order, an email exchange or any other means accepted by Enerzine.

2. Scope and acceptance

These Terms and Conditions apply to the relationship between Enerzine and Clients acting in the course of their professional activity.

Validation of an order, acceptance of a quotation, full or partial payment for a service, or written confirmation by the Client constitutes unreserved acceptance of these Terms and Conditions.

The Client’s general purchasing terms or any other document shall only be enforceable against Enerzine if expressly accepted in writing by Enerzine.

In the event of any inconsistency, the following order of precedence shall apply:

1. The specific terms set out in the accepted quotation or purchase order;
2. These Terms and Conditions;
3. Any subsequent written instructions expressly accepted by Enerzine.

3. Description of services

The service ordered is the one described in the pricing configurator, quotation, or accepted purchase order. Depending on the selected options, it consists of making one or more advertising placements available to the Client on Enerzine.com for the display of advertising banners.

The order may specify, in particular:

• The number of banners or advertising placements booked;
• The format, placement, or category of placements, where such options are offered;
• The estimated display period, expressed in number of days;
• The requested launch date or period;
• The redirect URL associated with each banner;
• Any integration, technical adaptation, or reporting services.

Unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing, the service consists of displaying banners for the subscribed period and does not constitute a guaranteed purchase of impressions, clicks, unique visitors, conversions, leads, sales, search-engine rankings, or commercial results.

The placements actually visible may vary according to the version of the site viewed, device used, screen resolution, browser, ad blockers, cookie-consent choices, technical constraints, user navigation behaviour, and website layout changes.

4. Order and contract formation

The price displayed in the configurator is indicative until the order has been confirmed by Enerzine, particularly where the Client requests a specific placement, a particular period, a large volume, a technical adaptation, or a bespoke service.

The contract shall be deemed concluded on the earliest of the following dates:

• Written confirmation of the order or quotation by Enerzine;
• Receipt of the required deposit or payment;
• Commencement of the service with the Client’s consent.

Enerzine reserves the right to refuse any order that does not comply with its editorial policy, technical requirements, legal obligations, advertising policy, or values.

The booking of advertising space becomes final upon Enerzine’s written confirmation and receipt of the required payment. A booking request does not guarantee availability until it has been confirmed.

5. Prices and payment

Prices are stated in euros, excluding VAT and including VAT where applicable. The VAT rate applicable shall be the rate in force on the invoice date.

Unless otherwise specified in the quotation or invoice, payment for the services is due within thirty (30) calendar days of the invoice date, by bank transfer.

In the event of late payment by a professional Client, Enerzine may, automatically and without prior formal notice, apply late-payment penalties at the rate provided for under Article L. 441-10 of the French Commercial Code, together with the statutory fixed recovery fee of EUR 40, without prejudice to additional compensation where justified.

Enerzine may suspend any integration, display, or subsequent order until all outstanding amounts have been paid in full.

6. Advertising materials provided by Client

The Client shall provide, within the agreed deadlines, all materials required for the campaign launch: banner files, optional variants, redirect URLs, tracking parameters, legal notices, credits, supporting documentation, authorisations, contact details of an authorised representative, and any relevant technical instructions.

The Client warrants that all materials submitted are accurate, complete, technically usable, up to date, free from malware, unauthorised tracking mechanisms, misleading redirects, unlawful content, and any component likely to compromise the website’s or users’ security.

Unless otherwise stated, creative materials must comply with Enerzine’s published or communicated technical specifications, particularly regarding:

• Accepted formats;
• Dimensions and aspect ratio;
• Maximum file size;
• Permitted animations;
• Destination URLs;
• Link security and HTTPS protocol;
• No automatically playing audio;
• No pop-ups, forced downloads, automatic redirects, or intrusive behaviour.

The Client shall supply complete materials no later than 5 business days before the requested campaign start date. Failing this, Enerzine cannot guarantee the initially requested launch date, and the display period may be postponed subject to remaining availability.

Any material change to the banner, destination URL, targeting, period, format, or number of placements after approval may result in additional charges and a postponement of the campaign.

7. Display and advertising identification

The banner shall be displayed on Enerzine.com in accordance with the terms specified in the quotation or order, after receipt of the required materials, technical and editorial approval, and payment in accordance with the agreed terms.

Any online advertising must be clearly identifiable as such and must make it possible to identify the person on whose behalf it is carried out. Enerzine may therefore include any notice, label, advertiser identification, or visual distinction necessary to ensure transparent advertising disclosure.

Enerzine may alter the exact placement, display order, responsive layout, rendered size, or technical integration of the banner where necessary to ensure proper website operation, display across different devices, security, regulatory compliance, or user experience.

Unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing, Enerzine does not grant the Client any sectoral, geographical, temporal, technical, or advertising exclusivity. Campaigns from competing advertisers may therefore be displayed on the website simultaneously or successively.

8. Refusal, suspension, removal, and modification

Enerzine may refuse, suspend, disable, remove, or replace a banner without incurring liability where the content or destination page:

• Breaches applicable laws, regulations, third-party rights, or professional standards;
• Contains false, insufficiently substantiated, ambiguous, disparaging, defamatory, or misleading information;
• Infringes intellectual-property rights, image rights, privacy rights, or the reputation of a third party;
• Contains a virus, malicious script, fraudulent mechanism, forced download, or unauthorised redirect;
• Promotes an illegal, dangerous, or prohibited activity, product, or service, or one incompatible with Enerzine’s editorial policy;
• Fails to comply with Enerzine’s technical or security requirements;
• Redirects users to a destination page that materially differs from the page submitted for campaign approval.

Where suspension, removal, or refusal results from the Client’s fault, inaccurate information, lack of rights, or breach of its obligations, sums already paid shall remain payable to Enerzine and services already performed shall remain due.

Where technically and commercially possible, Enerzine may offer a campaign postponement or replacement advertising material, without being obliged to do so.

9. Client liability

The Client shall indemnify and hold Enerzine harmless against any claim, action, judgment, cost, expense, or loss arising from its banners, graphic materials, URLs, destination pages, brands, offers, data, cookies, tracking technologies, commercial messages, or claims.

The Client warrants, in particular, that it:

• Holds all rights to reproduce, display, adapt, and distribute the materials provided;
• Has obtained all required permissions from rights holders, represented persons, authors, photographers, and service providers;
• Complies with all rules applicable to its industry, products, and commercial communications;
• Holds sufficient evidence for any technical, scientific, environmental, health, financial, comparative, or promotional claim;
• Ensures the compliance, security, and availability of the landing page to which the banner redirects;
• Clearly informs users where the destination page collects personal data or uses cookies and other tracking technologies.

The Client undertakes to provide any supporting document requested by Enerzine before or during campaign delivery.

10. Intellectual property

Each party shall retain ownership of its pre-existing rights, including its trademarks, logos, graphic creations, content, software, databases, methods, and know-how.

For the purpose of delivering the service, the Client grants Enerzine a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide licence for the duration of the campaign, allowing Enerzine to reproduce, display, technically adapt, and integrate the advertising materials provided on Enerzine.com.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, Enerzine does not acquire ownership of the Client’s creative materials, and the Client does not acquire any rights in Enerzine’s technical, graphical, editorial, or structural elements.

Where Enerzine creates a banner or graphic adaptation at the Client’s request, the terms for reusing that work outside Enerzine must be the subject of a separate written agreement. Any transfer of copyright must identify separately the transferred rights, their scope, purpose, territory, and duration.

11. Personal data

Contact data collected in connection with an order are processed by Enerzine for the purpose of managing the business relationship, booking, invoicing, service delivery, client follow-up, and, subject to the right to object, B2B marketing.

The full details of data processing and the exercise of data-subject rights are set out in Enerzine’s privacy policy: privacy policy.

Unless a separate written agreement provides otherwise, each party acts as an independent data controller for the data it processes for its own purposes.

The Client remains responsible for all personal-data processing carried out on its destination page, including where it uses tracking parameters, pixels, cookies, forms, analytics tools, or any other data-collection mechanism.

If Enerzine is required to process personal data on the Client’s behalf, the parties shall enter into a data-processing agreement compliant with the GDPR where necessary.

12. Enerzine’s liability

Enerzine is subject to a best-efforts obligation. It undertakes to exercise reasonable care in integrating and displaying the campaign in accordance with the agreed contractual terms.

Enerzine shall not be liable for:

• The compliance of the Client’s advertising materials, commercial offers, destination pages, or services;
• Consequences resulting from inaccurate, incomplete, or non-compliant information supplied by the Client;
• The availability, performance, security, content, or policies of third-party websites accessible through advertising links;
• A banner being blocked by a browser, ad-blocking software, security software, or user settings;
• Changes in browsers, search engines, platforms, devices, algorithms, advertising standards, or third-party services;
• Any campaign performance below the Client’s expectations in terms of displays, clicks, traffic, conversions, leads, or sales;
• Indirect losses, including loss of revenue, data, customers, opportunities, reputation, or anticipated profit.

Subject to mandatory applicable provisions, Enerzine’s total liability, on all grounds combined, shall be limited to the amount excluding VAT actually paid by the Client for the service giving rise to the damage.

13. Campaign duration

The campaign duration shall be the one specified in the order, quotation, or Enerzine confirmation, generally expressed as a number of days.

Display begins on the actual date on which the banner is published, unless a contractual start date has been agreed. It ends upon expiry of the subscribed period, without automatic renewal, unless otherwise agreed in writing.

Temporary website downtime, maintenance, technical changes, security incidents, responsive-display adjustments, or events beyond Enerzine’s control do not necessarily constitute a breach of contract. Where an interruption is material and attributable to Enerzine, Enerzine may, at its discretion, offer a reasonable campaign extension, to the exclusion of any other compensation.

14. Termination and cancellation

Any cancellation request must be submitted in writing before the campaign has effectively started.

If the Client cancels after the advertising space has been reserved or after integration work has begun, amounts corresponding to the booked placements, completed technical work, production time committed, and costs already incurred by Enerzine shall remain due.

If a deposit has been paid, it may be retained up to the amount of those sums.

In the event of a material breach by either party that is not remedied within 30 days of written notice, the other party may terminate the relevant order, without prejudice to any damages it may be entitled to claim.

Enerzine may immediately end a campaign where continued display exposes Enerzine, its readers, or a third party to a legal, technical, reputational, or security risk.

15. Force majeure

Neither party shall be liable for delay or non-performance resulting from a force majeure event within the meaning of Article 1218 of the French Civil Code, including natural disasters, fire, major outages, cyberattacks, widespread network unavailability, administrative decisions, labour disputes, war, or an external event that is unforeseeable and beyond reasonable control.

The affected party shall notify the other party as soon as possible. Performance of the affected obligation shall be suspended for the duration of the event. If the impediment becomes permanent or makes the service devoid of purpose, the parties shall consult each other to determine the applicable consequences.

16. Complaints and evidence

Any complaint relating to a campaign must be sent to [ redac (at) enerzine.com ] after the end of the display period or after the disputed event has been identified. The complaint must include a clear description of the grounds and any relevant supporting evidence.

Electronic exchanges, quotations, invoices, email approvals, order confirmations, screenshots, delivery logs, statistics, and technical archives retained by Enerzine shall constitute admissible evidence between the parties.

Unless otherwise stated in the subscribed offer, any statistics supplied by Enerzine are provided for information only and do not constitute a performance commitment or third-party-certified data.

17. Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms and Conditions shall be governed by French law.

Any dispute relating to their validity, interpretation, performance, termination, or consequences shall first be subject to an attempt at amicable resolution.

If no amicable settlement is reached, exclusive jurisdiction is granted to the competent courts within the jurisdiction of Nanterre (92), including in summary proceedings, in the event of multiple defendants, or third-party proceedings, subject to mandatory applicable jurisdiction rules.

18. Amendments to the Terms and Conditions

Enerzine may amend these Terms and Conditions at any time. The Terms and Conditions applicable are those in force on the date the order is validated, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the parties.

19. Electronic invoicing

Effective September 1, 2026, the Business Customer must be able to receive electronic invoices issued by the Service Provider, in accordance with applicable regulations. To this end, the Customer agrees to provide the Service Provider with all relevant information, including the identifier of its approved receiving platform, as well as any subsequent changes to this information.

Invoices will be transmitted via an approved platform or through any other legally authorized channel. The electronic invoice serves as the original invoice and has the same legal, accounting, and tax effects as a paper invoice, provided that applicable regulatory requirements are met.

The electronic invoicing requirements apply to relevant transactions between VAT-registered entities established in France. Services or transactions not covered by the scope of mandatory electronic invoicing may be subject to data transmission as required by applicable regulations (e-reporting).

For microenterprises and SMEs, the requirement to issue electronic invoices will not take effect until September 1, 2027. However, as of September 1, 2026, all VAT-registered businesses must be able to receive electronic invoices via an approved platform; large enterprises and mid-sized companies must already be issuing them by that date.
