ARTICLE 5 — SUBSCRIPTION AND ACCESS TO THE SERVICE
Subscription is completed on the website https://www.simplywoodplan.com by following these steps: select the subscription on the sign-up page, enter your email address and payment information, expressly accept these Terms and Conditions, and for individual Users (non-professionals), expressly accept the waiver of the right of withdrawal (see Article 7), then confirm the payment.
Access to the service is granted immediately after payment is confirmed, by sending a login link to the User's email address. Authentication is performed using a magic link or a one-time code (PIN).

The subscription is for a one-month term and is automatically renewed at the end of each term, in accordance with Article L215-1 of the Consumer Code.
The User may cancel their subscription at any time, free of charge and without providing a reason, through the Stripe customer portal accessible via the "Manage My Subscription" link on the website.
The cancellation takes effect at the end of the current monthly period. The User retains access to the service until the end of the monthly cycle for which payment has already been made.

For Users who are consumers within the meaning of the Consumer Code (individual Users), a fourteen (14)-day right of withdrawal generally applies from the date of subscription, in accordance with Article L221-18.
However, Users acting as consumers expressly acknowledge that, by checking the box provided for this purpose during the subscription process, that they request immediate performance of the service upon confirmation of payment, expressly waive their right of withdrawal in accordance with Article L221-28-1° of the French Consumer Code, and understand that once the service has been fully and immediately performed, no withdrawal may be exercised.
This express waiver is retained by the Publisher as proof of the User's consent.

ARTICLE 8 — INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
All components of the Simplywoodplan service—including the application, calculation engine, templates, interface, text, images, graphic design, and algorithms—are the exclusive property of Michel Guiot and are protected by the provisions of the Intellectual Property Code.
Any reproduction, display, modification, publication, transmission, or alteration—whether in whole or in part—of the service or its components, by any means whatsoever, is strictly prohibited without the prior written consent of the Publisher.
PDF drawings generated by the User as part of their subscription may be used freely by the User for personal or professional purposes (such as creating the corresponding projects, presenting to clients, or archiving). However, their resale, commercial distribution, or incorporation into a competing service is strictly prohibited.
The User agrees not to attempt to extract, copy, or reproduce the calculation engine, standard sections, charts, or any other technical data that forms the basis of the service.
ARTICLE 9 — LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
The structural calculations included in Simplywoodplan comply with Eurocode 5 (NF EN 1995) and have been validated by our partner engineering firm, Egitura Conception.
However, Simplywoodplan is not a substitute for a project-specific structural analysis conducted by a qualified professional on-site. The User acknowledges that the generated PDF plan is a design aid, and that the final implementation—including verification of actual site conditions (wood quality, anchors, soil conditions, local climatic loads, environment)—remains the User’s sole responsibility.
The Publisher shall not be held liable for any direct or indirect damages resulting from implementation that does not comply with best practices, misinterpretation of the provided plan, failure to obtain the necessary administrative approvals (building permits, prior notice of work, local zoning regulations), or from use of the plan in a context not covered by the service (non-standard seismic zone, exceptional snow load not entered, etc.).
The Publisher shall not be held liable for temporary service interruptions resulting from maintenance, failures of third-party services (Glide, Stripe), or force majeure.
In any event, the Publisher’s liability, if any, shall be limited to the total amount actually paid by the User during the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the damage.
ARTICLE 10 — PERSONAL DATA
The processing of the User's personal data is governed by the Privacy Policy, which is available on the website and forms an integral part of these Terms and Conditions.
