5.3. – The client acknowledges that the software used on the server platform is a particularly complex area of computer technology and that, given the current state of knowledge, it is not possible to test or experiment with it in all its possible applications. The client, therefore, agrees to accept the risk of imperfections or unavailability of the server platform within reasonable limits, without this constituting a tolerance on the part of djm digital AG. djm digital AG shall always endeavour to remedy malfunctions as quickly as possible and to make the necessary corrections accordingly, as well as to improve the performance of the existing software in accordance with the development of computer technology.
5.4. – Given the high level of technology involved in the provision of the hosting service under this agreement, djm digital SA is bound by an obligation of means and undertakes to take all reasonable care in the performance of the hosting service. djm digital SA only guarantees that it will perform its hosting service in accordance with the technical specifications of each software program, within the limits of proven computer technology and having been sufficiently tested and experienced to date, of which the client acknowledges being aware.
5.5. – Due to the nature and characteristics of the Internet, which the client declares to be fully aware of, djm digital SA cannot be held responsible for, in particular – the content of the information transmitted, distributed or collected, their use and updating, as well as all files, in particular address files, but also sound, text, images, elements of form, data accessible on the site and this for any reason whatsoever. – difficulties in accessing the hosted site due to total or partial non-compliance with an obligation, failure and/or saturation at certain times of the operators of the transport networks to the Internet and in particular of its access provider(s). – contamination by viruses of the client’s data and/or software, the protection of which is the responsibility of the latter. – malicious intrusion by third parties on the client’s site, despite the reasonable security measures put in place by djm digital SA. – damage to equipment connected to the server platform, which is the sole responsibility of the client. – possible misappropriation of passwords, confidential codes and, more generally, of any information of a sensitive nature for the client. – Indirect damages, i.e. all those that do not result directly and exclusively from the partial or total failure of the service provided by djm digital SA, such as commercial prejudice, loss of orders, damage to brand image, any commercial disturbance whatsoever, loss of profits or clients (for example, untimely disclosure of confidential information concerning them as a result of a defect or hacking of the system), for which the client will be its own insurer or may take out appropriate insurance. Any action brought against the client by a third party constitutes indirect damage and therefore does not give rise to a right to compensation.
5.6. – The compensation owed by djm digital SA in the event of a failure of the hosting service resulting from a fault established against it shall correspond to the direct, personal and certain loss linked to the failure in question, to the express exclusion of indirect damage.
5.7. – In any event, the amount of damages that djm digital SA may be held liable for, if it is found liable, shall be limited to the amount of the sums actually paid by the client to djm digital SA and/or invoiced to the client by djm digital SA and/or to the amount of the sums corresponding to the prices of the hosting formulas and options, for the part of the service for which djm digital SA has been held liable.

In such cases, the client agrees to pay the remaining sums due on the date of termination, less the sums already invoiced and collected.
