If the impediment is definitive, the contract is resolved by operation of law under the conditions provided for in Articles 1151 and 1151-1 of the French Civil Code, if it seems appropriate to the party that is impeded.

SafeBear guarantees compliance with tax and social legislation, being up to date with social contributions, and being able to provide proof of compliance with the various applicable obligations in this matter at the first request of the Subscriber. 11.7. Unless expressly authorized in writing by SafeBear, the Subscriber may not sell, rent, transfer, share or grant access to the rights associated with the Contract to anyone else, including, but not limited to, charging anyone for access to the administrator rights of your account. SafeBear reserves all rights and legal remedies available to prevent unauthorized use of the Services & Content, including, but not limited to, technological barriers, IP mapping, and, in serious cases, contacting your internet service provider (ISP) regarding such unauthorized use. 11.8.
