Terms of use

The Consultants du Sud - 2 VIES platform allows suppliers to view open projects, download their documents and submit quotes.

Access is restricted to professionals. Any use by private individuals is excluded.

Any new account must be approved by the publisher before it can access projects. The publisher may refuse or suspend an account without having to give reasons.

You are responsible for keeping your password confidential and for all actions carried out from your account.

Amounts are stated EXCLUDING VAT (intra-EU reverse charge).

You may submit several successive quotes for the same project: the full history is kept and no submission overwrites the previous one.

Submitting a quote does not constitute any commitment by the publisher to award the work. The publisher is free to award the project to the supplier of its choice, or not to award it at all.

Project documents are provided solely for the purpose of preparing your quote. Any disclosure, reproduction or use for other purposes is prohibited.

You have no access to the quotes, amounts or identity of the other suppliers consulted. No price indicator of competing offers is disclosed to you, even in anonymised or aggregated form.

This obligation continues after the project is awarded and after your account is closed.

Documents are made available for information purposes, as is. It is your responsibility to check that they are consistent and complete, and to request any clarification before submitting your quote.

The publisher cannot be held liable for any error, omission or outdated information in the documents, nor for the consequences of a quote prepared on the basis of them.

You are responsible for the accuracy of the amounts and information you submit. The publisher carries out no prior verification.

The platform is provided as is, with no guarantee of continuous availability, freedom from errors or fitness for a particular purpose.

The publisher may interrupt the service, temporarily or permanently, in particular for maintenance, without notice or compensation.

It is your responsibility to keep a copy of the quotes and documents you submit.

The publisher is only liable for direct damage directly attributable to it. Indirect damage is excluded, in particular loss of opportunity, contracts, turnover, profit or data.

In particular, the publisher is not liable for the non-receipt, loss or late receipt of a quote, whatever the cause.

To the extent permitted by law, the publisher's total liability may not exceed 1,000 euros, all causes combined.

The platform is neither a call for tenders nor a formal procurement procedure. Nothing in these terms confers any right to be consulted, to receive a volume of tenders, or to be awarded a project.

The publisher may close a tender, change its scope or decide not to award it, at any time and without giving reasons.

The publisher may suspend or close your account at any time, without notice, in particular in the event of a breach of these terms, inaccurate information or misuse.

Suspension results in the immediate loss of access to ongoing projects. Quotes already submitted are kept for evidential and accounting purposes.

The quotes you submit remain your property. You authorise the publisher to keep, consult and use them to analyse tenders and for its internal management and evidential needs.

Quotes and their history are kept even after the project or your account is closed, in accordance with the periods set out in the privacy policy.

The processing of your data is described in the privacy policy, which forms an integral part of these terms.

The publisher may amend these terms at any time. The applicable version is the one published on the platform at the time of your use.

Continued use after an amendment constitutes acceptance of the new version.

These terms are governed by French law. In the event of a dispute, and failing an amicable settlement, the French courts shall have jurisdiction.
