Without the list being exhaustive, Client's failure to fulfill their obligations stipulated in the following Sections: “Client Obligations” and “Prohibited uses” of these Terms and Conditions as well as a Subscription Fee payment that is delayed by more than 90 calendar days constitute a material breach by the Client, which the Client acknowledges and accepts.
4.1.2 Agreement Termination for convenience

Exhibit 1 - DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES
According to the provisions stipulated in the relevant Purchase Orders, NFINITE may provide the Client with the following Services:
- Solution Services include:
- Installing the Solution, which is limited to creating a Client Account for the Client in conformity with the Purchase Order;
- Access to the Solution called nfinite™ which, notably allows to:
- Create Product Visual for the Products
- Download Product Visuals
- Integrate Visuals on third-party websites.
- Professional Services for creating 3D Models of Products, customized Sets, training, consulting, account management, artistic direction, technology implementation, and analysis.
The following are conditions of use for the Solution Services:
- The Solution allows for the creation of Product Visuals in two cases:
- The Client can directly create Product Visuals from Client 3D Models, Products, and their own Sets: this option is only possible if these elements meet the prerequisites defined by NFINITE in its Documentation;
- Client may ask NFINITE as part of their Professional Services to create specific 3D Model(s) and Sets for them.
- Product Visuals are provided in a format established in the Documentation.
- Creating a 3D Model of the Product is an indispensable prerequisite for creating a Product Visual.
All elements of NFINITE’S Solution and Professional Services are defined in this contract as Services and can be modified from time to time at NFINITE’s the sole discretion provided that such modifications do not materially reduce the Solution’s functionality.
The Client acknowledges that the Services are in continuous development and evolution to adapt to the retail industry’s technology and needs. Therefore, the Services’ functional scope is not permanent but informative on the condition that no modifications materially reduce the Services’ functionality.
Exhibit 2 – SLA
Definition of incident types
As part of the Agreement, the term Incident refers to any of the Solution or Services’ malfunctions or anomalies regarding their functionality or availability. Incidents are classified according to two levels of severity, which are described below:
NFINITE is the only Party capable of determining an Incident’s level of severity.
Notification of Incidents
In case of an Incident, the Client commits to notifying NFINITE of its occurrence by using the ticketing tool provided to the Client by NFINITE as soon as the Incident is detected.
Incident Response and Resolution
Upon being notified of the Incident by the Client, NFINITE will confirm its receipt and open an Incident ticket with an assigned unique identification number that will be sent to the Client. For technical timestamping reasons, commitments to Incident responses are only valid for Incidents that NFINITE has been notified of and confirmed with a unique Incident ticket number. NFINITE will make commercially reasonable efforts to respond to their incident within the following timeframes for Incidents that the Client has notified NFINITE of:
The following are excluded from the calculation of timeframes:
- Client’s unavailability or lack of response regarding requests whose resolution require their participation.
- Client's failure to comply with the procedures (e.g. incomplete notifications, failure to comply with the notification procedure.)
Recovery time
The following are excluded from the calculation of timeframes:
- Timeframes defined in this contract as the Client’s infrastructure non-conformities
- Timeframes attributable to errors or negligence made by the Client, their staff, or their Users
