#13. Pillow’s Obligations and Liability
Without prejudice to the other obligations set forth in the Agreement, Pillow undertakes to comply with the following obligations:
13.1 Pillow undertakes to provide the Services with due diligence, it being specified that it is bound by a best-efforts obligation.
13.2 Pillow shall use its best efforts to provide the Client with quality Services. To this end, it regularly carries out checks to verify the operation and accessibility of its Services and may thus perform maintenance under the conditions specified in the article "Maintenance".
Pillow shall not, however, be liable for temporary difficulties or inability to access its Services arising from:
Circumstances external to its network (including partial or total failure of the Client’s servers),
Failure of equipment, cabling, services or networks not included in its Services or not under its responsibility,
Interruption of Services by telecommunications operators or internet service providers,
The Client’s intervention, in particular through an incorrect configuration applied to the Services,
A case of force majeure.
13.3 The Client acknowledges that Pillow entrusts the hosting of the Solution to specialised third-party service providers. Since Pillow does not have physical control over the servers, it shall not be held liable for unavailability, slowdowns or breakdowns originating in the infrastructure of such third-party providers.
Furthermore, it does not guarantee that the Services:
Subject to constant research to improve performance and progress, will be entirely free from errors, faults or defects,
Being standard and in no way offered in accordance with the Client’s personal constraints, will specifically meet its needs and expectations.
13.4 The Client acknowledges that the quality, relevance and accuracy of the Studies are intrinsically linked to the quality of the Content provided by the Client and/or the quality of responses provided by the End-Users and/or publicly available information concerning the Client’s company and/or its products and/or services.
Consequently, Pillow shall not be held liable for the poor quality, incompleteness or inconsistency of the Studies and/or any Results deriving therefrom, in the following cases:
Poor quality of End-Users written answers and/or recordings (background noise, overlapping voices, microphone issues, inarticulate diction);
Factually incorrect, incomplete, outdated or contradictory information present in the Content provided by the Client to launch the Studies;
Incorrect public information of the Client, notwithstanding all the care taken by Pillow in the selection of external sources for retrieving information related to the company and/or products and/or services marketed by the Client;
Use of technical terms, company jargon, specific acronyms or proper nouns not recognized by standard models. The Client accepts that the Solution analyses Conversation "as is" and has no autonomous capacity to verify the truthfulness of statements made by End-Users.
13.5 The Client acknowledges that the integration features with third-party applications constitute ancillary features dependent on technical environments external to Pillow. Pillow does not guarantee the sustainability, stability or continuous operation of such connections. Accordingly, Pillow’s liability is expressly excluded in the event of malfunction, disconnection, non-synchronization or inability to connect the Solution to a third-party tool, regardless of the cause (API modification, network timeout, token expiry, firewall block, third-party tool update, etc.). The Client accepts that the Solution may operate in "degraded mode" and undertakes in such case to proceed by manual import/export of files, without this constituting a fault on the part of Pillow or giving rise to any right to compensation.
13.6 The Client acknowledges that the Solution is based on artificial intelligence technologies (LLM, voice recognition). Accordingly, Pillow does not guarantee the truthfulness, completeness or absolute relevance of the Results generated from the analysis and/or processing of the Corpus. The Services constitute a decision-support and productivity tool, and cannot substitute the Client’s judgment, expertise and human verification. It is exclusively the Client’s responsibility to verify the accuracy of such Results before any operational, commercial or legal use. Pillow disclaims all liability for the consequences of any decision made solely on the basis of the Results provided by the Solution.
13.7 The Client is informed that the Solution is based on statistical language models (LLM) and generative artificial intelligence technologies. By virtue of its probabilistic nature, the Solution may generate "hallucinations", meaning content that may appear plausible and syntactically coherent but is factually inaccurate or bears no relation to the Results. Pillow does not guarantee the absence of errors, omissions or misinterpretations in the Results. The use of the Solution does not guarantee results free from biases or reasoning errors.
13.8 Pillow shall use its best efforts to back up all data produced and/or entered by/on the Solution. Save in the event of proven fault on the part of Pillow, it shall not be held liable for any data loss during maintenance operations.
13.9 Pillow shall provide sufficient storage capacity for the operation of the Services. Pillow shall use its best efforts to ensure data security by implementing measures for the protection of infrastructure and the Solution, detection and prevention of malicious acts, and data recovery.
13.10 Pillow acts as a hosting provider for the Content to which the Solution has access. Accordingly, it shall not be held liable for such Content. If Pillow receives a notification concerning unlawful Content, it shall promptly act to remove it or render it inaccessible and may take the measures described in the article "Penalties for Breach".
13.11 Pillow may engage sub-contractors in connection with the performance of the Services, who are subject to the same obligations as Pillow within the scope of their involvement. Pillow shall nonetheless remain solely responsible for the proper performance of the Services. Pillow may substitute any person who will be subrogated to all its rights and obligations under its contractual relationship with the Client. In such case, it shall inform the Client of such substitution by any written means.
#14. Limitation of Pillow’s Liability
Pillow’s liability is limited to direct and proven damages suffered by the Client as a result of the use of the Services.
With the exception of personal injury, death and gross negligence, and subject to the submission of a claim by recorded delivery letter with acknowledgement of receipt within one (1) month of the occurrence of the damage, Pillow’s liability shall not exceed the amounts it has received during the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to liability, or the duration of the provision of its Services if such duration is less.
#15. Admissible Evidence
Proof may be established by any means.
The Client is informed that messages exchanged through the Solution, as well as data collected on the Solution and Pillow’s systems, constitute one of the admissible means of proof, in particular for demonstrating the reality of the Services performed and the calculation of their price.
