# Legal terms

> Contractual obligations, GDPR, confidentiality and compliance

## Contractual framework

Access to the Pylote API is provided **free of charge** in exchange for the partner's
commitment to implement [profile-view tracking](/en/tracking-obligations).
This tracking is an essential element of the contract's balance.

The contract is for an **indefinite term**. Either party may terminate it with 30 days'
written notice.

<Warning>
  Pylote may terminate the contract **immediately and without notice** in the event of a breach:

  * Of the tracking obligation (Article 6)
  * Of the upkeep of the Whitelist (Article 4)
  * Of the data protection obligations (Article 12)
</Warning>

## Documentation compliance

The technical documentation at `https://documentation.client-p.pylote.io/`
constitutes the **technical reference** for the API. It may evolve
to reflect API updates.

In the event of a substantial change (endpoints, data formats, authentication),
Pylote will notify you by email within a reasonable time before it goes live.

<Warning>
  You have **15 days** after notification to bring your integration
  into compliance with the documentation in force. Beyond this deadline, Pylote may
  suspend access to the API without compensation, or terminate the contract.
</Warning>

## Personal data and GDPR

Pylote Profiles contain **personal data** within the meaning of the GDPR
(EU Regulation 2016/679).

### Responsibilities

Each party acts as an **independent data controller**:

| Party       | Responsibility                                               |
| ----------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Pylote**  | Initial collection of Pylote Profile data                    |
| **Partner** | Any processing carried out by it or by its recruiter clients |

<Info>
  There is **no processor relationship** between Pylote and the partner.
  Each party applies the GDPR independently.
</Info>

### Your GDPR obligations

* Process the data **exclusively** to connect recruiters with freelancers
* Refrain from any unsolicited commercial prospecting, resale or unlawful profiling
* Grant access to the Profiles only to recruiters who **comply with the GDPR**,
  under a contract materializing their obligations
* **Indemnify Pylote** against any claim, penalty or judgment resulting
  from unlawful processing by you or your clients

### DPO contact points

| **Email** | [ronan@pylote.io](mailto:ronan@pylote.io) | To be provided |

<Note>
  Pylote reserves the right to verify compliance with your GDPR obligations,
  directly or through an authorized third party.
</Note>

## Confidentiality

The API key, the technical specifications of the API and the Pylote Profiles are
**confidential information**.

You commit to:

* Disclose this information only to people strictly necessary for performing the contract
* Enforce this obligation on your staff, advisors and subcontractors

The confidentiality obligation applies throughout the term of the contract
and **for 5 years after its termination**.

## Terms of use

### Prohibitions

You may not:

* Resell, sublicense or transfer access to the API without Pylote's written consent
* Use the Profiles for purposes other than connecting recruiters with freelancers
* Store data disproportionately to your operational needs
* Exploit any security vulnerability of the API
* Build a competing database from Pylote data
* Present the Profiles in a way likely to harm the freelancers' image

### Recruiter whitelist

Only recruiters listed on the Whitelist may access Pylote Profiles.
The partner commits to:

* Provide the named email, the company name and any information requested by Pylote
* Keep the Whitelist up to date and notify Pylote of any addition/removal
* Ensure that no non-whitelisted recruiter accesses the API
* Inform each recruiter about the use of the Pylote API and the tracking

<Warning>
  The `company` field in the Whitelist must match the name of the **recruiter's company**
  (e.g. "Lutessa"), never the partner's name (e.g. "Agrega"). This is the name
  visible to the freelancer.

  Pylote reserves the right to refuse or request the removal of any recruiter,
  without justification.
</Warning>

## Liability

* Pylote Profiles are provided **as is**, without warranty of accuracy or completeness
* Pylote's liability is limited to **direct damages** and capped at **EUR 500**
* The partner **indemnifies Pylote** against any third-party claim related to use of the API
