Terms of use

smart-contract.com is a platform published by BME Consulting SARL, 113 Rue Marietton, 69009 Lyon, France (the "platform"). It connects businesses that have a smart contract project (the "clients") with development and audit companies (the "vendors").

These terms of use set the rules for accessing and using the platform. Creating an account means accepting these terms in their current version.

Request: the need described by a client, with a brief. Quote: a vendor's answer to a request, in the format imposed by the platform. Contract: the agreement signed directly between a client and a vendor, outside the platform, then declared on it. Introduction: the invitation of a vendor to a request, or any exchange between a client and a vendor made possible by the platform.

The platform is reserved for professionals acting on behalf of a company or an organization. By creating an account, you declare that you are authorized to commit the organization you represent.

You agree to provide accurate and up-to-date information and to keep your credentials confidential. Any action taken from your account is deemed to be yours.

The platform is free for clients. The client describes the project, reviews the brief, then submits the request, which the platform may approve, send back for correction or reject (incomplete request, unrealistic budget, suspected fraud).

The client has no obligation to accept a quote. When the client signs with a vendor met through the platform, the client declares the contract on the platform or confirms the declaration made by the vendor.

Vendors are also bound by the vendor terms, which cover in particular the verification of companies, the format of quotes, the declaration of contracts and the commission due to the platform.

A vendor holding a development contract on a project can never be invited to, or engaged for, the audit or re-audit of that project, and an auditor cannot be engaged to develop the project it audits. The platform applies this rule automatically; no user can waive it.

The platform is an intermediary. It is not a party to the contracts signed between clients and vendors, receives no payment under these contracts and performs no development or audit work.

The platform checks the legal existence of vendors, the authority of their representatives and their stated references, within the limits of the information available. This check is not a guarantee of the quality, security or outcome of the work, which remain the sole responsibility of the vendor. An audit reduces risk but never guarantees the absence of vulnerabilities.

The platform uses artificial intelligence to draft briefs, assess the seriousness of requests and compare quotes. This content is a decision aid: it may contain errors and must be reviewed. It is neither legal, financial or regulatory advice, nor a security opinion.

You keep the rights to the content you publish (briefs, quotes, messages). You allow the platform to host, reproduce and transmit it to its intended recipients (invited vendors, the client concerned), only as far as the service requires.

Briefs are shared only with invited vendors, who undertake to keep them confidential. Directory listings are based on public information; any company can ask for its listing to be corrected or removed.

It is prohibited in particular to: provide false or misleading information; publish a fictitious request or one without a real intention to contract; bypass the platform to avoid declaring a contract; collect other users' data for purposes other than the project concerned; harm the security or operation of the service; publish unlawful content or content linked to fraud.

The platform strives to provide an available and secure service, without guarantee of continuous access. It can only be held liable for its proven fault, and only for direct damage. It can in no case be held liable for the performance of contracts between clients and vendors, nor for losses linked to the operation of a smart contract (theft or loss of digital assets, vulnerability, code error).

You can delete your account at any time from the My account page. The platform may suspend or close an account in case of breach of these terms, inaccurate information or suspected fraud, after informing the user except in an emergency.

The processing of your personal data is described in the privacy policy.

The platform may change these terms. The new version is published on this page with its date; in case of a significant change, you are asked to accept it at your next sign-in.

These terms are governed by French law. In case of dispute, the parties first seek an amicable solution by writing to contact@smart-contract.com. Failing that, the competent courts of Lyon, France, have exclusive jurisdiction, including where there are several defendants.
