Terms of service

Article 1 — Scope and enforceability

These terms of service govern all commercial relationships between HOLDING DEMONCHAUX SARL, trading under the name Stringer Network (hereinafter "the Provider"), and any legal entity or individual ordering the services on offer (hereinafter "the Client").

Placing an order implies the Client's full and unreserved acceptance of these terms, which prevail over any other document from the Client. Any contrary condition set by the Client shall be unenforceable against the Provider unless expressly accepted.

Article 2 — Description of services

The Provider operates a network of thematic editorial media on which it offers the following services:

• Purchase of editorial backlinks on network sites
• Publication of sponsored articles written by the Provider's team
• Managed netlinking campaigns
• Digital PR operations on the network
• Monthly placement packs
• Custom services defined on a case-by-case basis

The detail of each service, its exact scope, and pricing are specified in the quote or order validated by the Client.

Article 3 — Pricing and payment terms

Service prices are stated in euros excluding tax. Applicable VAT is added at the rate in force on the invoice date.

For one-off orders, payment is due upon order. For recurring accounts (monthly packs, agency contracts), invoicing is monthly with payment due within 30 days of the invoice date.

Any late payment automatically triggers penalties calculated at the legal interest rate plus five points, together with a fixed recovery indemnity of 40 euros, in accordance with article L441-10 of the French Commercial Code.

Article 4 — Delivery times

Stated delivery times are given for guidance only. For a single editorial placement, the typical timeframe is 5 to 10 business days from brief approval. For a monthly pack, publications are spread across the month according to the agreed schedule.

If a delay attributable to the Provider exceeds 30 days, the Client may request cancellation of the unfulfilled portion of the order and a pro-rata refund of sums already paid.

Article 5 — Content approval

The Provider submits the editorial brief and then the article draft to the Client for approval before publication. The Client has 5 business days to approve or request modifications. Beyond that period, the article is deemed tacitly approved.

A request for major modifications falling outside the initial scope of the brief may give rise to additional invoicing, subject to the Client's express agreement.

Article 6 — Warranties and limits of liability

The Provider undertakes to publish the article or link on the agreed site, under the editorial conditions approved by the Client. Content remains live for as long as the host site exists.

The Provider does not guarantee any specific Google ranking, click-through rate, traffic volume, or return on investment. SEO performance depends on hundreds of external factors beyond the Provider's control, including Google's algorithmic changes.

In the event of a serious editorial removal of a published article for reasons unrelated to the Client, the Provider offers a free replacement placement on another site of the network.

Article 7 — Cancellation and refund

Before the writing brief is sent to the writer, the Client may cancel the order at no cost and obtain a full refund.

After the brief has been sent but before publication, cancellation entails the retention of production costs already incurred (typically 30% of the order amount).

After publication, since the content is live and the editorial work has been performed, no refund may be requested. Reasonable editorial modifications to the published article remain possible.

Article 8 — Personal data

Personal data collected as part of the commercial relationship is processed in accordance with our privacy policy. The Client has the rights of access, rectification, erasure, objection, and portability provided for by the GDPR.

Article 9 — Intellectual property

Articles written by the Provider's team and published on network sites remain the property of HOLDING DEMONCHAUX SARL. The Client benefits from a right of use over published content for the duration of its presence online, with no transfer of intellectual property.

Article 10 — Disputes and applicable law

These terms are governed by French law. In the event of a dispute, the parties undertake to seek an amicable solution first. Failing agreement, the Lille Métropole commercial court shall have sole jurisdiction.

In accordance with article L612-1 of the French Consumer Code, consumers have the right to refer to a consumer mediator to resolve any dispute relating to a contract concluded with the Provider.
