4. Description of the Services

myUpcyclea® features

myUpcyclea® is a hosted SaaS software, available through the Internet, that allows the creation and management of circular ecosystems.

The myUpcyclea® features available from upcyclea.cloud allow you to:

To the “needs manager”, to characterize free of charge his needs in reuse or secondary raw materials, to create new circular passports, and to validate/refuse offers.
The needs entered by the “needs manager” will be submitted for validation by the Upcyclea supervisor in order to guarantee the quality of the published needs. The supervisor can refuse certain needs, in particular if their contents prove to be obviously incomplete, or of a racist, homophobic or offensive nature, without the person in charge of the needs being able to oppose it.

The “manufacturer” can create as many circular passports as he wishes, free of charge, and, depending on the subscription plan chosen, request Upcyclea to rate his passports,

To the transformations manager, to publish his transformations for free, and to accept/refuse requests.

Circular passport bookstore

By registering to the passport library on the upcyclea.cloud homepage, Users can view all circular passports published by manufacturers.

Manufacturers can declare as many passports as they wish for free and all published passports will be visible in the library. On the other hand, the pictograms associated with the passports, and resulting from the passport rating action by Upcyclea, will only be visible if the manufacturer has subscribed to a “basic”, “standard” or “premium” subscription, and has requested a rating for his passports from Upcyclea.

When the User enters Data in myUpcyclea® to benefit from the Services, he/she accepts that these :

Be visible to other Users, under the “visibility conditions” in effect in myUpcyclea® and detailed below.
Be processed by myUpcyclea®’s algorithms, for the purpose of executing these Terms and Conditions,
Be accessible by Upcyclea people specifically assigned the role of “Administrator” for maintenance purposes, to correct problems, to check consistency or efficiency of myUpcyclea® and upcyclea.cloud.

Visibility rules

The visibility conditions are as follows. For a given User account:

The circular passports created by a manufacturer are visible to anyone who has opened an account to access the circular passport library on upcyclea.cloud, the requirements managers on upcyclea.cloud and anyone who subscribes to the myUpcyclea® SaaS. For this, the passports must have been previously published by the Upcyclea supervisor. The passport creation function is free and unlimited on upcyclea.cloud.
On the other hand, the pictograms of the passports will only be visible if the manufacturer has subscribed to a Basic, Standard or Premium subscription with Upcyclea, under the conditions defined by the subscription plan, i.e. for a given brand:

Basic” subscription plan: visible ratings for up to 10 passports,
Standard” subscription plan: visible ratings for max. passports
Basic” subscription plan: visible ratings for all published passports.
The requirements created by a requirements manager are visible to all users who subscribe to the myUpcyclea® SaaS, once these requirements have been accepted by the Upcyclea supervisor (and therefore published). On the other hand, on upcyclea.cloud, requirements created by a requirements manager are not visible to other requirements managers. The requirement creation feature is free and unlimited on upcyclea.cloud. Note that, for a requirement to be public, the requirements manager must check the “public requirement” box.
Transformations created by a transformation manager are visible to all users who subscribe to the myUpcyclea® SaaS, once these transformations have been accepted by the Upcyclea supervisor (and thus published). However, on upcyclea.cloud, transformations created by a transformation manager are not visible to other transformation managers. The transformation creation function is free and unlimited on upcyclea.cloud.
The Personal Data of each User are visible and modifiable only by the Administrator (except the password which is not accessible to any User). In addition, an Administrator has the functionality to connect directly to an account that he manages.
The User is fully responsible for the quality, accuracy and updating of the Data entered in myUpcyclea® and upcyclea.cloud. Upcyclea shall not be held liable for this. It is therefore the responsibility of Users to make all verifications that seem necessary or appropriate before using the Services, or making their Data available.

In case of proven inconsistencies, problems detected by Upcyclea or reported by Users, Upcyclea may verify, and if necessary, refuse the Data provided by the User. The User undertakes to take into account any modification or deletion requests from Upcyclea (e.g. concerning the modification of the Data or their completeness, or the deletion of inconsistent Data), with a view to the proper use of the Services.

The role of myUpcyclea® and the upcyclea.cloud website is to connect Users to each other. Upcyclea is not responsible for Contributions delivered (or not delivered) by the User, nor for any dissatisfaction or claim relating to a Contribution. The use of the Services shall not have the effect of diminishing, modifying or sharing (in particular with Upcyclea) the responsibility and obligations of the Users among themselves. Each User exercises his professional practice according to his own legal and regulatory obligations, his own ethical rules, his own norms and standards, and any other rules that may be applicable to him.

Scheduling a Contribution on myUpcyclea® and upcyclea.cloud constitutes a firm commitment by the User to one or more other Users. For the proper use of the Services, each User is invited to provide all the required information and undertakes to deliver the Contributions scheduled for his or her attention. In the event of a problem encountered by a User in delivering a Contribution, the User must at the very least notify the other Users concerned and, if possible, reschedule the making of the Contribution. The User acknowledges and agrees to assume exclusively the consequences of any breach committed in the performance or non-performance of a Contribution.

5. Network and access

Upcyclea puts in place the means necessary for the proper functioning of the Services. Upcyclea shall take the necessary measures to maintain the continuity and quality of the Services.

The costs of accessing and using the telecommunications network (Internet access costs, telephone costs, etc.), as well as the costs related to the User’s equipment (computer, telephone, software, etc.) for accessing the Services are to be paid by the User, according to the terms and conditions set by his access providers and electronic communications operators.

It is the User’s responsibility to ensure that he/she has the necessary technical and computer resources to use myUpcyclea® and upcyclea.cloud: an ADSL connection or higher as well as a computer with the latest version of Chrome, Firefox or any other compatible web browser.

The User must also ensure that the computer configuration of his hardware/equipment is in good working order and free of viruses.

Furthermore, it is strongly recommended to use the “Google Chrome” web browser, as myUpcyclea® has been optimized for use via this browser. Upcyclea shall not be held responsible for malfunctions that may occur if the client uses another web browser.

The procedure to access myUpcyclea® is detailed in the User Help.

6. Securing access to myUpcyclea® and upcyclea.cloud

To access the circular passport library for free, the user will have to register directly on upcyclea.cloud. He will automatically receive emails that will help him in his connection process.

In order to access myUpcyclea®, you need to have a login for your needs/manufacturers/transformations. These Identifiers are provided to the User by Upcyclea via an activation email sent by myUpcyclea®.

The purpose of the Identifiers is to reserve access to myUpcyclea® and the Services for the Administrator and Users, to protect the integrity and availability of myUpcyclea®, as well as the integrity, availability and confidentiality of the Data as transmitted by Users.

The User is entirely responsible for the use of his User profile and the Identifiers that have been given to him. It is the User’s responsibility to keep his/her Credentials confidential, and to ensure that no unauthorized person has access to myUpcyclea®.

Any use of the Services, connection or transmission of Data carried out via a User with his or her Identifiers, will be presumed to have been carried out by this User, under his or her exclusive responsibility, unless a written and duly motivated denunciation is transmitted to Upcyclea.

Upcyclea shall not be held responsible for the loss of one or more Identifiers and, in the absence of prior and regular written opposition to Upcyclea, for the harmful consequences of the use of the User Profile by an unauthorized person. In case of loss or theft of one of the Identifiers, the User shall follow the procedure set up by the Upcyclea administrator, allowing him to recover his Identifiers and renew his password.

Upcyclea has no power to control the veracity of the information transmitted by Users for the creation of a User Profile. Consequently, Upcyclea shall not be held responsible for any false declaration or usurpation of identity made by the Users. Users agree to provide Upcyclea with accurate information and to update it as it changes over time.

The User assumes responsibility for the protection of the equipment allowing him/her to access myUpcyclea®, upcyclea.cloud and the Services.

Upcyclea is not responsible for damage caused to the User’s equipment and/or Data via the Internet or through other means that do not depend on Upcyclea or are beyond its control.

The User is aware of the technical hazards inherent in the Internet, and of the access interruptions that may result.
