Where this feature is available, the Customer may change all or part of the Services subscribed to from their Personal Area.
A change may concern, in particular, a plan, a line, a user, an option or any other component of the Subscription.
Changing part of the Services does not automatically change or terminate the other Services retained by the Customer.
Depending on its nature, a change may take effect immediately or from the start of the following Contracted Month.
The applicable rates are those displayed at the time of the change.
The Customer may request the termination of all or part of the Services subscribed to from their Personal Area, according to the features offered by ippi.

Unless otherwise provided for a particular Service, any termination requested by the Customer takes effect at the end of the current Contracted Month, regardless of the date on which the request is made.

Amounts due for the current Contracted Month remain payable in accordance with the applicable billing conditions.
The Customer may request the deletion of their account under the conditions offered in their Personal Area.

Where the nature of the breach or the circumstances allow, ippi may ask the Customer to remedy the situation before suspending or terminating.
In the event of a serious breach, fraud, a risk to the security of the network or the Services, or any situation requiring immediate action, ippi may suspend all or part of the Services without notice, within the limits permitted by the applicable regulations.
Termination does not release the Customer from paying the amounts owed to ippi.
The Customer may subscribe to the Services directly from the Website or from their Personal Area.
ippi may make the subscription subject to validation of the Customer's email address, payment details, identity or any other necessary information.
The subscription becomes effective once validated by ippi under the conditions provided for the Service concerned.
The Customer may change their Services from their Personal Area where this feature is available.
Depending on its nature, a change may take effect immediately or from the start of the following Contracted Month.
The applicable rates are those displayed at the time of the change.
ippi may offer the Customer virtual numbers in various countries and categories.
The allocation of a number is subject to its availability and to compliance with the regulations applicable in the country concerned.
Depending on the type of number, ippi may ask the Customer to provide an address, an identity document, proof of address, proof of activity or any other document required by the regulations or by the provider concerned.
The Customer undertakes to provide accurate information and to inform ippi of any change affecting the conditions of use of the number.
A virtual number does not constitute a property right of the Customer. It is allocated under the conditions laid down by the regulations and the operators concerned.
ippi may have to change or withdraw a number for regulatory or technical reasons, for reasons of availability, or at the request of an authority or operator concerned.
ippi may offer a porting service enabling the Customer to transfer an existing number to ippi.
Porting is subject to the applicable regulatory and technical conditions and to validation by the operator concerned.
The Customer undertakes to provide accurate information and to follow the porting procedure communicated by ippi.
A porting request may be refused, in particular where the information provided is incorrect or where the regulatory or technical conditions are not met.
Any porting fees are those indicated at the time of subscription or in the applicable Rates.
The Customer may request that their number or numbers be ported out to another operator.
To obtain the information needed for this porting, in particular the RIO (Relevé d'Identité Opérateur, the French operator identification code), the Customer must contact ippi.
ippi will provide the Customer with the information needed to carry out the porting request, subject to prior verification of their identity and of their rights to the number concerned.
Outbound porting is then carried out in accordance with the rules and procedures applicable to telecommunications operators.
The Customer undertakes to use the Services in accordance with:
The Customer is responsible for the use of the Services made from their account and for the use of their equipment and credentials.
It is prohibited, in particular, to use the Services:
This list is not exhaustive.
The unlimited plans offered by ippi entitle the Customer to included communications to the destinations and under the conditions stated in the offer subscribed to.
The included destinations may change according to the applicable technical, regulatory and pricing conditions.
The list of included destinations is available on the Website and may be updated by ippi.
The term "unlimited" refers to the communications included within the scope and conditions of the offer concerned. It does not mean that the Service may be used without restriction or irrespective of its normal purpose.
Unlimited plans are intended for normal and reasonable use of telephony, corresponding to human communications made in the course of ordinary personal or business use, according to the plan subscribed to.
For the Unlimited Elite and Unlimited Centrex plans, communications to the first 100 distinct telephone numbers called per month and per plan are included in the plan.
This limit concerns the number of distinct numbers called, not the total number of communications made to those numbers.
Several calls to the same number therefore count as a single distinct number.
Beyond 100 distinct telephone numbers called in the same month and per plan, additional communications are not blocked and remain possible. They are then billed on a usage basis at the ippi rate in force for the destination concerned.
Exceeding this limit therefore results neither in automatic blocking of communications nor in suspension of the Service.
For the Centrex plan, use by several authorised users in the normal course of the Customer's business does not in itself constitute abusive use.
The following, in particular, are considered non-compliant or liable to constitute abusive use of unlimited plans:
This list is not exhaustive.
In order to guarantee the quality of its Services, protect its network and prevent abuse and fraud, ippi may monitor the technical and statistical characteristics of the use of the Services, in compliance with the applicable regulations.
The number of distinct numbers called may, in particular, be taken into account to determine which communications are included in the plan and which are to be billed on a usage basis.
Where the use of a plan shows characteristics incompatible with normal and reasonable use, ippi may ask the Customer for any information or supporting document enabling it to understand the nature of that use.
The Customer undertakes to respond fully and truthfully to any request from ippi.
Beyond the limit of 100 distinct telephone numbers called per month and per plan for the Unlimited Elite and Unlimited Centrex plans, additional communications remain permitted and are billed on a usage basis at the ippi rate in force for the destination concerned.
This usage-based billing is the pricing consequence of exceeding the distinct-number limit and does not, in itself, constitute grounds for suspending or terminating the plan.
However, irrespective of the number of numbers called, fraudulent, abusive, automated or diverted use, or use manifestly incompatible with the purpose of the plan, may result, depending on the nature and seriousness of the situation, in:
These measures may be taken in particular where use of the Service poses a risk to the security, availability or quality of the network, or where it is manifestly incompatible with the purpose of the plan.
Exceeding the limit of 100 distinct numbers in the course of normal and compliant use of the Service is not in itself considered abusive or non-compliant use.
ippi offers a prepaid communications service enabling the Customer to purchase Communications Credit and use it to pay for the Services billed on a usage basis.
The amount of available Credit can be viewed from the Personal Area.
Where the available credit is insufficient, chargeable communications may be interrupted.
Prepaid Communications Credit is valid for 365 days from the date it is made available, unless specific conditions are displayed at the time of purchase.
The Customer can view the validity conditions of their credit from their Personal Area.
ippi offers various telephony services, including:
The availability of each Service depends on the offer subscribed to and on the applicable technical and regulatory conditions.
ippi may offer a cloud-based phone system that allows, in particular and depending on the offer subscribed to, the management of several users, greeting messages, call queues, an interactive voice response system, hold music, call recording and time slots.
The available features are those stated in the Centrex offer subscribed to.
Use of Centrex must remain consistent with its purpose as a business telephony solution.
ippi may offer the ippi Softphone application for compatible devices.
Use of the application requires credentials and settings compatible with the Customer's account.
The available features may vary depending on the version of the application, the operating system, the device used and the technical conditions of third-party networks.
ippi may offer a call forwarding feature enabling calls to be transferred to another number.
Communications resulting from call forwarding may be billed outside the plan at the ippi Rates in force.
ippi may offer a voicemail feature enabling voice messages to be received and stored and, depending on the features available, forwarded by email.
The applicable technical conditions and limits are those stated in the Personal Area.
ippi may offer a feature enabling certain incoming or outgoing calls to be blocked or allowed according to the settings defined by the Customer.
The Customer is responsible for the rules they configure in their Personal Area.
ippi may offer a callback feature from a website.
In this context, operation and billing are as stated when the feature is activated and in the Personal Area.
Communications generated by this feature may be billed outside the plan at the ippi Rates in force.
The number displayed to the other party depends on the features activated on the Customer's account and on the rules applicable to caller ID presentation.
Where the Customer does not have a virtual number configured, ippi may display a default service number, in particular +33 1 76 600 700, subject to the applicable technical conditions.
The display of a number may be subject to the regulatory and technical rules applicable to operators and to the destination networks.
The rates applicable to the Services are those displayed on the Website or in the Personal Area at the time of subscription to or use of the Service.
Unless otherwise stated, rates are shown exclusive of taxes for business Customers where this is specified.
The rates applicable to out-of-plan communications are those in force at the time of the communication.
Communications made exclusively between ippi users or to certain open SIP networks may be free of charge where this is stated in the conditions of the offer.
The conditions under which communications are free may change according to the applicable technical or commercial conditions.
Communications are billed on the basis of the technical data recorded by ippi, in particular call detail records.
These data constitute the elements on which billing is based.
Communications are generally billed per second. In rare cases, certain communications may be billed per indivisible minute. The billing method applicable to each destination is stated in the ippi rate schedule in force.
Certain communications or features are not included in plans and are billed on a usage basis.
This applies in particular, where relevant, to call forwarding, certain destinations or features, and communications made beyond the conditions included in a plan.
For the Unlimited Elite and Unlimited Centrex plans, communications to distinct numbers beyond the first 100 distinct numbers called in the month are billed on a usage basis at the ippi Rates in force.
The Customer can view information about their usage from their Personal Area, where available.
This information is updated regularly and may be provided with a slight delay compared with actual usage.
The billing data recorded by ippi are the reference for determining the amounts due.
Any dispute concerning an invoice must be sent to ippi as soon as possible and, unless otherwise provided by law, within ninety (90) days of the invoice being made available.
The Customer must provide the information needed to identify the invoice and the dispute.
A dispute does not release the Customer from paying the undisputed amounts.
The payment methods available depend on the type of Service and on the Customer's status.
For prepaid services, ippi may accept, in particular, Visa and Mastercard bank cards and PayPal, where these methods are offered.
For postpaid services, ippi may offer, in particular, payment by bank card or by direct debit from an eligible bank account, according to the conditions displayed at the time of subscription.
In rare cases, ippi may also allow payment by bank transfer, in particular where the Customer has previously paid a deposit and with ippi's agreement.
Other payment methods may exceptionally be accepted by ippi, subject to its prior agreement. A flat-rate handling fee of €20 may then be charged, in particular where processing the payment requires specific intervention or a specific administrative procedure.
Subscriptions are billed monthly and in advance.
Where a subscription starts mid-month, the applicable billing conditions are those stated at the time of subscription. The first debit may, in particular, cover the current month, followed by a pro-rata adjustment according to the subscription date and the conditions of the offer.
The exact billing arrangements are stated to the Customer at the time of subscription.
In the event of a rejected or failed payment, ippi may ask the Customer to remedy the situation.
A flat-rate fee of €15 may be charged for a rejected payment, according to the conditions applicable to the Service.
In the event of persistent non-payment, ippi may suspend or terminate the Services under the conditions set out herein.
Suspension or termination of the Services does not deprive ippi of the right to claim payment of the amounts already owed by the Customer.
ippi uses the means reasonably available to ensure the proper functioning of the Services.
However, the Services rely in particular on telecommunications networks, internet connections, equipment, operators and infrastructure that may be independent of ippi.
ippi therefore does not guarantee uninterrupted availability or quality of Service.
The Services may, in particular, be temporarily unavailable in the event of:
Where possible, ippi endeavours to inform the Customer of maintenance operations liable to affect the Services.
ippi uses the means reasonably necessary to provide the Services.
ippi cannot be held liable in the event of misuse of the Services by the Customer, fraudulent use of their credentials, incompatibility of their equipment, malfunction of their internet connection or any event beyond ippi's control.
ippi cannot be held liable for indirect damage resulting from the use or unavailability of the Services, in particular loss of turnover, loss of profit, operating loss, loss of data or commercial harm, within the limits permitted by the applicable regulations.
Where ippi's liability is legally established, the total amount of compensation for which ippi may be liable in respect of a single event or series of events may not exceed the amount of the monthly subscription actually paid by the Customer for the Service concerned.
These limitations do not apply where the law prohibits limiting or excluding ippi's liability.
The Customer is responsible for their use of the Services and of their equipment.
The Customer undertakes to use the Services in accordance with these General Terms and Conditions and with the applicable laws and regulations.
The Customer is responsible in particular for the consequences resulting from:
The Customer undertakes to indemnify ippi, within the limits permitted by law, for the direct consequences of any breach attributable to them.
The texts, images, logos, trademarks, software, interfaces, databases, content and other elements making up the Website and the Services are protected by the applicable intellectual property laws.
Unless expressly authorised by ippi, any reproduction, representation, adaptation, modification, distribution or exploitation of all or part of these elements is prohibited.
Subscribing to the Services does not transfer any intellectual property rights to the Customer.
Commercial reference
A Customer that is a professional legal entity authorises ippi to mention its company name and reproduce its logo as a commercial reference on the Website, in its marketing materials and on its social networks. This authorisation is free of charge and non-exclusive; it grants ippi no other right over the Customer's trademarks and logos.
The Customer may withdraw this authorisation at any time, without giving reasons, by simple email to customer service. ippi will then remove the reference from its online materials within thirty (30) days, without being required to withdraw documents already printed or distributed.
Any other use, in particular the publication of a testimonial or a case study, requires the Customer's prior express consent.
ippi processes the Customer's personal data in accordance with the applicable personal data protection regulations, in particular the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the applicable French legislation.
The detailed conditions for the collection, processing and retention of data and for the exercise of the Customer's rights are set out in the Privacy Policy available on the Website.
Data may be processed in particular in order to:
ippi may be required to disclose certain data to the competent authorities where such disclosure is required or permitted by law.
The Customer has the rights provided for by the applicable regulations concerning their personal data.
The Customer acknowledges that telephone numbers are allocated within the framework of the applicable numbering rules and regulations.
A number allocated to the Customer does not constitute a property right in that number.
ippi may be required to change or withdraw a number for regulatory or technical reasons, or at the request of a competent authority or an operator.
The Customer undertakes to comply with all regulatory obligations applicable to them in connection with the use of the Services.
In order to protect its network, its Customers and its partners, ippi may implement fraud detection and prevention measures.
ippi may, in particular, analyse the technical and statistical characteristics of communications and of account usage in order to detect unusual behaviour or behaviour likely to present a risk.
In the event of suspected fraud, hacking, account compromise or non-compliant use, ippi may immediately take any measure reasonably necessary to protect the Customer, the network or the Services, in particular:
These measures may be taken irrespective of the number of distinct numbers called under an unlimited plan.
ippi provides the Customer with a support service and help resources accessible in particular from the Website and the Personal Area.
To facilitate the handling of a request, the Customer must provide the information needed to identify their account and describe the problem encountered precisely.
Requests are handled as quickly as possible, taking into account their nature and complexity.
ippi may assign or transfer all or part of its rights and obligations under these General Terms and Conditions to any company of its choice, in particular in the context of a restructuring, a sale of business or a transfer of a line of business, subject to compliance with the applicable legal provisions.
The Customer may not assign their Agreement or the rights arising from it to a third party without ippi's prior agreement, unless otherwise provided by law.
ippi cannot be held liable for a failure to perform its obligations where such failure results from an event of force majeure within the meaning of French law or from an event reasonably beyond its control.
Events that may be concerned include, in particular, events affecting telecommunications networks, internet infrastructure, data centres, third-party suppliers or operators and electricity networks, as well as natural, social, administrative or regulatory events preventing or disrupting the provision of the Services.
If any provision of these General Terms and Conditions is declared null, unlawful or unenforceable, the other provisions shall remain fully applicable.
The Parties shall endeavour, as far as possible, to replace the provision concerned with a valid provision having an economic and legal effect as close as possible to the original intention.
These General Terms and Conditions are governed by French law.
In the event of a dispute relating to the formation, interpretation, performance or termination of the Agreement, the Parties shall first seek an amicable solution.
For consumer Customers, the legal provisions relating to jurisdiction and, where applicable, to the mediation schemes available to consumers remain fully applicable.
For business Customers, subject to the applicable mandatory rules, any dispute relating to these General Terms and Conditions falls within the jurisdiction of the competent French courts and, where the rules on jurisdiction so permit, of the courts with jurisdiction over ippi's registered office.
These General Terms and Conditions come into force on publication and replace the previous versions applicable to new subscriptions.
The version applicable to the Customer is the one accepted at the time of subscription, subject to any subsequent changes validly made in accordance with these General Terms and Conditions and the applicable regulations.
