The licence of use is un-transferable and free, excluding internet connection costs according to the chosen operator, which must be paid for by the user.

The user will be held responsible for the non respect of the conditions of use.
Use of this software is subject to a prior written agreement (via the names of the users communicated by Lacaze Energies), who reserve the right to suspend use without warning and without being required to justify the reasons. The provided software and products may be modified at any time, without prior warning and without any indemnity whatsoever.
