These Terms govern the access to and use of products and services offered by FINALEADS LLC (operating as “French Corpus LLM”). For how we handle personal data, see the Privacy Notice. For what our datasets contain, see the Dataset Data Sheet.

1. About these Terms

These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) form a binding agreement between FINALEADS LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company with registered office at 30 N Gould St, Ste R, Sheridan, WY 82801, United States of America (“FCL”, “we”, “us” or “our”), and the legal entity that accesses or uses our products and services (the “Customer”, “you” or “your”). By signing an order form, executing a statement of work, or accessing a Product through a Marketplace, the Customer accepts these Terms in their entirety.

If a specific commercial agreement (an “Order Form”, “Statement of Work” or “SOW”) is signed between FCL and the Customer, the terms of that agreement supplement these Terms. In the event of conflict, the signed Order Form or SOW prevails over these Terms for matters specifically addressed therein.

2. Definitions

• “Data Product” means any dataset offered by FCL on a packaged basis, including without limitation Sample, Standard, Premium and Enterprise tiers.
• “Custom Engagement” means any bespoke data, pipeline, audit or advisory work commissioned by the Customer and scoped in a Statement of Work.
• “Release” means a specific versioned snapshot of a Data Product, identified by its dataset card and pipeline integrity hash.
• “Marketplace” means a third-party data marketplace through which a Release is made available to the Customer, such as the Snowflake Marketplace.
• “Documentation” means the dataset card, schema dictionary, licence chain, statistics and any other documents shipped with a Release.
• “Upstream Sources” means the public authorities and registers from which the underlying text in a Data Product originates, as listed in the licence chain of the Release.

3. Our services

FCL offers three categories of service:

• Licensing of Data Products — the Customer receives a limited licence to access, store, process and use a specific Release under the terms of Section 6.
• Custom Engagements — FCL builds bespoke data, pipelines or evaluation sets according to a Statement of Work. Ownership and licensing of the deliverables are governed by Section 7.
• Advisory and audit services — FCL performs assessments (such as AI Act readiness audits) and produces written deliverables. Unless otherwise specified, the deliverables are licensed to the Customer for its internal use only.

4. Eligibility and accounts

Our products and services are intended for legal entities entering into B2B transactions. The Customer represents that it is a legal entity duly organised under the laws of its jurisdiction, that the individual accepting these Terms has authority to bind the Customer, and that the Customer is not located in, organised under the laws of, or owned or controlled by a person or entity in any country subject to comprehensive trade sanctions administered by the United States, the European Union or the United Kingdom.

Where access to a Release is provided through a Marketplace, the Marketplace’s own terms (including, where applicable, the Snowflake Provider and Consumer Terms) apply in addition to these Terms.

5. Ordering, fees and payment

Fees for Data Products and Custom Engagements are stated in the applicable Order Form, Statement of Work or Marketplace listing. Unless otherwise specified:

• Fees are exclusive of value-added tax, sales tax, withholding tax and any other applicable tax or duty, which the Customer is responsible for paying in addition to the fees.
• Invoices issued directly by FCL are payable within thirty (30) days of the invoice date, by wire transfer to the account designated on the invoice, in the currency stated on the invoice.
• Late payments accrue interest at the lesser of one and a half percent (1.5%) per month or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, from the due date until paid in full.
• Marketplace transactions are billed through the Marketplace operator under its own billing terms; the Marketplace may retain a service fee or commission from the amounts collected.
• Fees are non-refundable except where these Terms or the applicable Order Form expressly provide otherwise.

6. Licence to use Data Products

Subject to payment of the applicable fees and compliance with these Terms, FCL grants the Customer a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable (except as expressly permitted by the applicable Order Form) licence to access, store, process and use each Release of the Data Products for the Customer’s internal business purposes during the term specified in the Order Form or for the duration applicable to the tier purchased.

Internal business purposes include without limitation: training, fine-tuning, evaluation and benchmarking of artificial-intelligence models; the operation of those models in production for the Customer’s own business; the conduct of compliance, regulatory or AI Act assessments; and internal research, analysis and reporting.

The licence is granted as a layer above the upstream open licences identified in the Documentation of each Release (such as Licence Ouverte 2.0 or CC-BY-4.0). The Customer must observe the attribution requirements of those upstream licences and may not remove or alter the per-document attribution metadata shipped in the Release. Where the upstream licence permits broader uses than this Section 6, the Customer may rely on the upstream licence directly for those broader uses.

Outputs generated from the Customer’s models trained on a Release are owned by the Customer. FCL claims no rights in such outputs and does not require attribution from the Customer for the outputs themselves.

7. Custom Engagements

Each Custom Engagement is governed by a Statement of Work executed by both parties, which specifies the scope, deliverables, milestones, fees, timeline and any specific intellectual-property arrangement. Unless the SOW expressly provides otherwise:

• The Customer owns the deliverables specifically built for that SOW, including any bespoke dataset and any bespoke pipeline code, upon full payment of the fees due under the SOW.
• FCL retains ownership of its pre-existing tools, internal libraries, methodologies and know-how. To the extent any of these are embedded in the deliverables, FCL grants the Customer a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free licence to use them as integrated in the deliverables.
• FCL does not aggregate or resell the Customer’s data, the Customer’s sources or the bespoke deliverables to third parties.
• Post-delivery support of three (3) months is included by default. Additional support requires a separate support agreement.

8. Marketplace transactions

Where the Customer accesses a Release through a Marketplace (for example, the Snowflake Marketplace), the Marketplace operator’s terms apply in addition to these Terms. In the event of conflict between these Terms and the Marketplace operator’s terms regarding subjects within the operator’s exclusive remit (such as the operator’s billing flow, data-sharing mechanics or platform-level security), the Marketplace operator’s terms prevail with respect to those subjects.

FCL remains the licensor of the Data Product and the legal counterparty for any matter relating to the content of the Data Product, the Documentation, intellectual-property representations and warranties, and post-acquisition support.

9. Restrictions

The Customer shall not, and shall not allow any third party to:

• Resell, redistribute, sublicense or otherwise make available a Release to a third party as a stand-alone product;
• Remove or alter the per-document attribution, source identifiers, licence terms or pipeline integrity hash shipped with a Release;
• Use a Release to identify, profile or target individuals named incidentally in the published official text;
• Use a Release for any unlawful purpose, or for a purpose that would cause FCL or an Upstream Source to breach a law applicable to it;
• Use a Release in a manner that breaches any upstream open licence applicable to the Release;
• Attempt to reverse-engineer or replicate FCL’s internal tools or methodologies from the deliverables of a Custom Engagement, except to the extent such tools were granted to the Customer under Section 7.

10. Intellectual property

Each Release is the result of FCL’s selection, curation and engineering applied to publicly available Upstream Sources. FCL represents that it holds the rights necessary to share and sell each Release under the licence stated in the Documentation, and that, to the best of its knowledge, no Release infringes a valid third-party intellectual-property right.

FCL retains all right, title and interest in its trademarks, branding, internal libraries and methodologies, except for the specific licences expressly granted to the Customer under Sections 6 and 7.

Subject to Section 7, the Customer retains all right, title and interest in its own data, its own models and its own derivative works produced by training on the Releases.

11. Confidentiality

Each party will treat as confidential any non-public information disclosed by the other party that is identified as confidential or that a reasonable party would understand to be confidential given the nature of the information. The receiving party will use the disclosing party’s confidential information only for the purposes of these Terms and will protect it with the same degree of care it uses for its own confidential information, but in no event less than a reasonable standard of care. Confidentiality obligations survive termination of these Terms for three (3) years.

The Data Products themselves are not considered confidential information of FCL as between the parties, given the public nature of the Upstream Sources; however, the Documentation, statistics and FCL methodology embedded in a Release are confidential to FCL and may not be shared with third parties without prior written consent.

12. Privacy and data protection

The Privacy Notice published at /privacy/ describes how FCL handles personal data of the Customer’s representatives and of website visitors. Each Release is built from publicly available Upstream Sources and is not designed to contain personal data, as described in the Dataset Data Sheet. The Customer remains responsible for compliance with data-protection laws applicable to the Customer’s own use of the Release, including where the Release is integrated into a product that processes personal data of the Customer’s users.

A Data Processing Agreement is available on request at compliance@frenchcorpus.com for engagements where FCL processes personal data on behalf of the Customer (for example, certain Custom Engagements).

13. Warranties and disclaimers

FCL warrants that: (a) it has the authority to enter into these Terms and to grant the licences described in them; (b) it will perform Custom Engagements in a professional and workmanlike manner; (c) the Documentation shipped with each Release fairly describes the composition and origin of the Release; and (d) to the best of its knowledge, the Releases do not infringe the intellectual-property rights of any third party.

EXCEPT FOR THE EXPRESS WARRANTIES SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION, THE PRODUCTS AND SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, FCL DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, NON-INFRINGEMENT AND ANY WARRANTY ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE. FCL DOES NOT WARRANT THAT A RELEASE WILL BE FREE OF ERRORS, OR THAT A MODEL TRAINED ON A RELEASE WILL ACHIEVE A SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE LEVEL.

14. Indemnification

FCL will defend the Customer against any third-party claim alleging that a Release, as delivered, infringes a valid intellectual-property right of that third party, and will pay any damages finally awarded against the Customer in such claim, provided that the Customer (a) promptly notifies FCL in writing, (b) gives FCL sole control of the defence and any settlement, and (c) provides reasonable assistance at FCL’s expense. FCL has no obligation under this Section for claims arising from: the Customer’s use of a Release outside the scope of these Terms, the Customer’s combination of a Release with other material not supplied by FCL, or the Customer’s failure to use an updated Release made available by FCL to address an infringement claim.

The Customer will defend FCL against any third-party claim arising from the Customer’s use of a Release in breach of these Terms or in violation of applicable law, and will pay any damages finally awarded against FCL in such claim, subject to mirror procedural conditions.

15. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUES, LOST DATA, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION OR COST OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

EACH PARTY’S TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNTS PAID OR PAYABLE BY THE CUSTOMER TO FCL FOR THE PRODUCT OR SERVICE GIVING RISE TO THE LIABILITY IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.

The limitations in this Section do not apply to: a party’s indemnification obligations under Section 14; a party’s breach of its confidentiality obligations; the Customer’s payment obligations; or liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law.

16. Term and termination

These Terms become effective on the date the Customer first accepts them and continue for the duration of any Order Form, Statement of Work or Marketplace subscription, unless earlier terminated as set forth below.

Either party may terminate these Terms for material breach by the other party that remains uncured thirty (30) days after written notice describing the breach. Either party may terminate immediately on written notice if the other party becomes insolvent, files for bankruptcy or has a receiver appointed.

On termination: (a) all licences granted under these Terms terminate; (b) the Customer must cease use of and, on FCL’s written request, destroy or return all copies of the Releases in its possession, except for archival copies retained in routine backups, which will remain subject to these Terms until overwritten; (c) the Customer must pay any fees accrued but unpaid as of the termination date; (d) Sections that by their nature survive termination (including 9, 10, 11, 13, 14, 15, 17 and 18) survive.

17. Compliance with laws

Each party will comply with all laws and regulations applicable to its performance under these Terms, including without limitation export-control laws, economic-sanctions regulations, anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws, and data-protection laws.

The Customer acknowledges that the Releases may be subject to export-control laws of the United States, the European Union, or other jurisdictions, and will not export, re-export, transfer or release a Release in violation of those laws.

The Customer is solely responsible for compliance with regulations governing its own use of the Releases, including the EU AI Act where applicable, sectoral regulations (for example, banking or healthcare regulation) and any local rules governing the deployment of AI systems.

18. Governing law and dispute resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, United States of America, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

The parties will attempt in good faith to resolve any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms through informal negotiation between authorised representatives within thirty (30) days of written notice of the dispute. If the dispute is not resolved within that period, it will be submitted to binding arbitration administered by the International Chamber of Commerce under its Rules of Arbitration, by a single arbitrator, in English, with the seat of arbitration in Sheridan, Wyoming. The arbitral award will be final and binding, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing in this Section prevents a party from seeking injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect its intellectual-property rights or confidential information.

19. General provisions

• Entire agreement. These Terms, together with any Order Form, Statement of Work and applicable Documentation, constitute the entire agreement between the parties regarding their subject matter and supersede all prior or contemporaneous agreements on the same subject.
• Assignment. Neither party may assign these Terms without the prior written consent of the other party, except that either party may assign these Terms to an affiliate or to a successor by way of merger, acquisition or sale of substantially all of its assets.
• Force majeure. Neither party is liable for failure to perform caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, civil unrest, government action, internet or cloud-platform outages, provided the affected party uses reasonable efforts to mitigate the effects.
• Notices. Notices to FCL must be sent to contact@frenchcorpus.com with a copy to compliance@frenchcorpus.com. Notices to the Customer may be sent to the address designated in the Order Form or to the email address of the Customer’s authorised representative.
• Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force; the unenforceable provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable.
• No waiver. A party’s failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of that provision.
• Independent contractors. The parties are independent contractors; nothing in these Terms creates an agency, partnership or employment relationship.
• Third-party beneficiaries. These Terms do not create any third-party beneficiary rights, except for Upstream Sources whose attribution requirements are preserved on each row of a Release.

20. Changes and contact

FCL may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be posted on this page with a new version number and last-updated date, and existing customers will be notified by email at least thirty (30) days before the change takes effect for them. The Customer’s continued use of the Products or Services after the effective date of a change constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

For any question about these Terms, write to contact@frenchcorpus.com.
