IT AND TECHNOLOGY POLICY
- Introduction
This paragraph constitutes WOJO policy concerning internet connectivity under which the Beneficiary may use the Centre’s Telecommunication and Internet services and equipment.
As a Service Provider, WOJO undertakes to supply an Internet connection which is managed and protected by a firewall for interconnection with dark fibre for encrypting and securing of all information leaving WOJO.
Under reserve of the general and specific conditions of the internet access supplier, the level of internet services is as follows:
- WOJO provides the Beneficiary with an internet connection allowing them to continue with their regular activities such as surfing the web, sending, and receiving electronic communications and accessing business applications as well as similar content.
- WOJO‘s internet connection relies on a rented symmetrical connection or a similar technology shared with other WOJO Beneficiaries within the same WOJO office building.
- The Beneficiary thereby has a symmetrical connection in compliance with the bandwidth selected by the Service Provider of 2 x 100Mb with a burst of 1Gb (“Internet Bandwidth”).
- The standard service does not supply a public IP address but does provide the possibility of buying one and deploying it.
- The internet availability level is 99.95%.
- WOJO‘s Network Operations Centre (“NOC”) is available twenty-four (24) hours a day and seven (7) days a week upon request to one of the Centre’s teams.
- The internet access guarantee consists of an Intervention Guarantee Time (“IGT”) of two (2) hours and a Restoration Guarantee Time (“RGT”) of four (4) hours for each of the double adduction dark fibre connections.
To complement this standard service, the Beneficiary may subscribe to paid services, notably:
- The option of deploying public IP addresses.
- The option of using solutions based on a server requiring incoming connectivity (such as an FTP, Web ore-mail server, for instance).
- The option of using VPN connections “site to site”.
- Provision of UCaaS (“Unified Communication as a Service”) telephone lines.
The Service Provider does not supply any assistance or technical support service.
Internet connection interruptions may occur for maintenance or updates, in case of urgent repair work or in case of a telecommunications system outage or other technical problems which are outside the remit of the Service Provider. The Service Provider cannot be held responsible for cases of force majeure, cyberattacks (pirating, hacking, etc.), of telecommunications and computing networks (notably internet) or power cuts, etc., notably when these events cause lateness, errors which is not due to its own actions.
- WOJO’s internet and telecommunications policy
The Beneficiary acknowledges that WOJO only represents a simple channel for the internet transmissions carried out by the Beneficiary, much like an internet service provider, and WOJO takes no responsibility for the content transmitted by the Beneficiary.
The Beneficiary uses WOJO’s internet service under their own exclusive responsibility. WOJO’s internet connection should only be used in accordance with applicable legislation and its usage should in no way infringe national or international criminal or civil law or any other governmental standards. Such violations include, but are not restricted to, theft or violation of copyright, of commercial trademarks, commercial secrets or any other kind of intellectual property; fraud; counterfeit; theft or embezzlement of funds, credit cards or personal data; infraction of legislation and regulations pertaining to export control; calumny and defamation; threats of physical attacks or harassment; or any other behaviour which constitutes a criminal or civil offence.
The Beneficiary undertakes to ensure the security and basic protection of their systems against viruses to prevent use by any third parties which does not comply with the Contract for provision of coworking or private office space. The Beneficiary is required to take the necessary correctional measures on any systems which have weaknesses, or which can easily be taken advantage of in order to prevent any illicit usage. It is also down to the Beneficiary to take all necessary measures to protect their data and the software stored on their computer, notably against infection by viruses or spyware which may be introduced by third parties via the internet and the Service Provider cannot be held responsible for in case of damage or deletion of data for such a reason.
The Beneficiary guarantees that the use of the network and of the internet will be exclusively for the purposes of their activity and for their corporate aims as described in the Specific Conditions. They and their associates or users are forbidden from participating in any illegal downloading, hacking, and pirating. The Beneficiary will forbid their users from visiting any propaganda or terrorist websites, as well as any website containing child pornography or pornography of any kind. The Service Provider reserves the right to implement security measures and firewalls to restrict access to these illicit sites, as well as to contact the Beneficiary’s representative, the police, or any relevant authority to inform them of any illicit activities by a user, should the Service Provider become aware of it.
WOJO’s range of services includes the provision of UCaaS telecommunications lines to its Beneficiaries. The Beneficiary is not permitted to avoid using WOJO’s telecommunications lines by setting up their own lines. Conversely, WOJO reserves the right, on a case-by-case basis, to authorise the Beneficiary to install direct telecommunication lines after receipt of a written request. Such authorisation will only be granted after the Beneficiary has accepted payment of the monthly fees which arise from use of direct access. The level of these fees will be set on a prior written estimate by WOJO and presented to the Beneficiary for acceptance and implementation.
The Beneficiary is not permitted to infringe the security of systems or the network. WOJO’s internet service cannot be used in the aim of attempting to violate the security of a network, a service, or any other system. Such unauthorised activities include but are not restricted to attempts to do the following: pirating, penetration, spying or unauthorised use of systems; port scanning; denial of service attacks and diffusion of viruses or any kind of malware. WOJO reserves the right to suspend access to the internet as soon as it receives a report of such abusive activities from an internet access provider. WOJO may disconnect the Beneficiary’s equipment and suspend the services if the company judges that the Beneficiary’s equipment or software are not or are no longer fit for connection with the WOJO network. The Beneficiary must ensure their own protection against viruses on their systems and all their equipment.
WOJO’s internet services are only available at WOJO Centres and connection to the WOJO network is only authorised at these Centres or via the services supplied by WOJO. The Beneficiary is not permitted to create links between the WOJO network and any other network or telecommunications service without WOJO’s consent.
WOJO reserves the right to modify this policy at any time, with ten (10) days prior notice except force majeure.
Specific requirement:
The Beneficiary must not use their own wireless access points. Use of a wireless router belonging to the Beneficiary will bring about termination of the Contract as specified in Article 6 of the General Conditions.
WOJO will not supply any service level contract to the Beneficiary concerning the service or the loss of service as part of its internet services. WOJO cannot be held responsible for direct or indirect damage, notably the loss of usage arising or resulting from the WOJO services contract and/or the loss of service or the degradation of connectivity/internet access stipulated in the service Contract, even if WOJO has been informed of the possibility of such damage. This provision will apply within the limits authorised by the law, independently of any negligence or fault on the part of one or other of the Parties.
