Article 10: Legal warranties

Article 11: Updates
For the purposes of this article, " Updates " means any Update or modification intended to maintain, adapt or develop the Plans offered, including security updates, whether or not such updates are necessary to maintain the conformity of the digital content or service, i.e. the conformity of the Plans ordered.
11.1. Updates necessary to maintain the conformity of the Plans
KOLET undertakes to inform the Customer of the Updates necessary to maintain the conformity of the Plans and to ensure that the Customer receives them during the period that the Customer may legitimately expect, having regard to the type and purpose of the product and taking into account the circumstances and the nature of these GTC, in the case of a one-off supply operation or a series of separate supply operations.
KOLET will specify to the Customer, for each Update required, the availability of the Update, the procedures for its installation and the consequences in the event of failure by the Customer to install it.
KOLET shall not be held liable for any lack of conformity caused by the Customer's failure to install or incorrect installation of the Update, unless such failure to install results from KOLET's failure to provide the above information or from significant deficiencies in the installation instructions.
11.2 Updates not required to maintain conformity of the Plans
The Customer is hereby informed that KOLET undertakes to inform the Customer of any Updates which are not necessary to maintain the conformity of the Plans and which allow, for example, the improvement or modification of the Plans or adaptation to technical developments.
These Updates and the date of their entry into force will be the subject of prior information, provided in a clear and comprehensible manner, reasonably in advance and by e-mail (or on any other durable medium).
Unnecessary Updates are carried out at no additional cost to the Customer.
Any Customer may refuse the non-necessary Update in question or, where applicable, uninstall it at a later date if it has a negative impact on their access to, or use of, the Plans.
Unless the Update has only a minor impact on the Customer, or KOLET allows the Customer to retain the Plans without the unnecessary Update, and provided that the Plans remain compliant, as defined in Appendix 1 of the GTS, the Customer may terminate these GTS by operation of law and at no cost to the Customer. However, the Customer must do so within a maximum of thirty (30) days.
Termination of the GCS terminates the Customer's access to the Plans concerned.
Article 12 : Liability
KOLET undertakes to do everything in its power to enable the Customer to use Kolet in the chosen destination country. The Customer is expressly informed that for the delivery of Plans, KOLET relies on local telecommunication operators in the destination chosen by the Customer. In this respect, KOLET ensures the activation of a telecommunication plan with a local operator, but cannot guarantee the quality of the connection in all the destination countries available on the Site, since this availability depends on the said operators and not on KOLET. KOLET's role is limited to providing access to the services offered by local operators in order to use the Plans ordered on the Site.
KOLET does not guarantee the conditions of availability of the network in the country of destination chosen by the Customer.
KOLET may not be held liable in the event of non-execution or poor execution of contractual obligations attributable to the Customer, in particular when entering his/her Order.
KOLET may not be held liable in the event of errors made by the Customer when configuring the settings of his/her device and in particular when these errors give rise to additional roaming charges with another Internet access provider other than KOLET.
The Customer accepts that the Plan will not be used to carry out a fraudulent operation. The Customer undertakes not to divert the services from their intended purpose, not to commit fraud and, more generally, not to undermine public order, and to comply with the laws and regulations in force. In the event of abnormal use of the Plan or illicit exploitation of the Plan, the Customer is solely responsible for damages and the consequences of any actions that may result. In this case, KOLET may be obliged to suspend use of the Plan and to initiate any procedure aimed at repairing the damage suffered.
You are also reminded that KOLET cannot be held responsible if the Customer's device is not eSIM compatible.
KOLET may not be held responsible, or considered as having failed to comply with the present terms and conditions, for any delay or non-performance of one of its obligations described in the present terms and conditions, when the cause of the delay or non-performance is linked to a case of force majeure as defined by the jurisprudence of the French Courts and Tribunals.
KOLET has no control over websites linked directly or indirectly to the Site. Consequently, KOLET accepts no responsibility for the information published on these sites. Links to third-party websites are provided for information purposes only, and no guarantee is given as to their content.
Article 13: Unexpected Events Beyond Control
KOLET's liability cannot be engaged if the non-performance or delay in the performance of any of its obligations described in these General Terms and Conditions (GTC) results from a case of force majeure.
Unexpected Events Beyond Control in contractual matters occurs when an event beyond the control of the obligated party, which could not reasonably have been foreseen at the time the GTC were concluded and whose effects cannot be avoided by appropriate measures, prevents the obligated party from performing its obligation.
If the impediment is temporary, the performance of the obligation is suspended unless the resulting delay justifies the termination of the GTC. If the impediment is permanent, the GTC are automatically terminated, and the parties are released from their obligations under the conditions provided in Articles 1351 and 1351-1 of the Civil Code.
In the event of an occurrence qualifying as force majeure, KOLET will endeavor to inform the Client as soon as possible.
Article 14: Personal data

In the event of difficulty of interpretation between any of the titles appearing at the head of the clauses, and any of the clauses, the titles will be declared non-existent.
Article 19 : Jurisdiction and applicable law
THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS AND THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE CUSTOMER AND KOLET ARE GOVERNED BY FRENCH LAW.

If no agreement is reached, or if the Customer justifies having previously attempted to resolve his/her dispute directly with KOLET by means of a written complaint, an optional mediation procedure will be proposed, conducted in a spirit of loyalty and good faith, with a view to reaching an amicable agreement in the event of any dispute relating to the present contract, including those concerning its validity.
In application of article L.616-1 of the French Consumer Code, KOLET also informs the consumer of the contact details of the consumer mediator to which he/she belongs.
Consumers may also use the European platform for online dispute resolution, accessible at the following address
The Party wishing to initiate the mediation process must first inform the other Party by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt, stating the details of the dispute.
Since mediation is not compulsory, either Party may withdraw from the process at any time.
IN THE EVENT THAT MEDIATION FAILS OR IS NOT ENVISAGED, THE DISPUTE WHICH MAY HAVE GIVEN RISE TO MEDIATION WILL BE REFERRED TO THE COMPETENT COURT DESIGNATED ABOVE.
ANNEX 1 - LEGAL GUARANTEES
ANNEX 1 - LEGAL GUARANTEES
In addition to any commercial warranties KOLET may offer, every Client benefits from "legal" guarantees for all ordered Plans, as detailed below, in accordance with Article L221-5 of the Consumer Code:
The consumer has two years from the delivery of the digital content or service to enforce the legal guarantee of conformity in case of a non-conformity issue. For one year from the delivery date, the consumer only needs to prove the existence of the defect, not the date it appeared.
The legal guarantee of conformity includes the obligation to provide all updates necessary to maintain the conformity of the digital content or service.
This guarantee gives the consumer the right to have the digital content or service brought into conformity without undue delay, free of charge, and without significant inconvenience.
The consumer may receive a price reduction while keeping the digital content or service or may terminate the contract with a full refund in exchange for surrendering the digital content or service if:
The provider refuses to bring the digital content or service into conformity;
The conformity adjustment is unduly delayed;
The conformity adjustment cannot occur without cost to the consumer;
The conformity adjustment causes significant inconvenience to the consumer;
The non-conformity persists despite an unsuccessful attempt by the provider to bring it into conformity.
The consumer is also entitled to a price reduction or contract termination when the non-conformity is severe enough to justify immediate action. In this case, the consumer does not have to first request conformity adjustments for the digital content or service.
In cases where the non-conformity is minor, the consumer can only terminate the contract if no payment was agreed upon in the contract.
Any period during which the digital content or service is unavailable for conformity adjustments pauses the guarantee period until the compliant digital content or service is restored.
The rights mentioned above are derived from Articles L. 224-25-1 to L. 224-25-31 of the Consumer Code.
A provider who, in bad faith, hinders the enforcement of the legal guarantee of conformity is subject to a civil fine of up to 300,000 euros, which may be increased to 10% of the average annual turnover (Article L. 242-18-1 of the Consumer Code).
Additionally, the consumer benefits from the legal guarantee against hidden defects under Articles 1641 to 1649 of the Civil Code, for two years from the discovery of the defect. This guarantee entitles the consumer to a price reduction if they retain the digital content or service, or to a full refund in exchange for surrendering the digital content or service.
