The expert terms

General terms and conditions for dilmind experts

Effective date: 8 November 2026

This English text is dilmind's translation of the French text, which prevails (article 11.4).

These general terms and conditions (the "Expert Terms") govern Experts' access to the Service, contributing to Topics, giving and recording Interviews, and the Exploitation Authorisation granted to dilmind over each submitted Interview. Annex A and Annex B form an integral part of them.

1. The company and acceptance

1.1 Operator. The Service is run by Dilmind SAS, a company with a share capital of €2,000, registered with the Rennes trade and companies register under number 101 338 150, whose registered office is at c/o WHOORKS, 28 boulevard du Colombier, 35000 Rennes ("dilmind").

Contact: contact@dilmind.com.

1.2 Acceptance. The Expert accepts the Expert Terms when signing up. Each Interview is then the subject of a Submission from their Account, which carries the Exploitation Authorisation and, where applicable, the Subsidiary Assignment provided for in article 6. Signing up is not an assignment of any right in a future Interview.

1.3 Contract documents. The Expert Terms and their annexes form the contract between dilmind and the Expert. Where they conflict, each annex prevails over the Expert Terms in the matter it governs. The economic terms shown before an Interview and accepted at its Submission govern the exploitation of that Interview. The privacy policy, the cookie policy and the legal notice are for information and have no contractual force.

1.4 Proof. Acceptances are collected from the Expert's signed-in Account, by a box that is not pre-ticked at sign-up and then, for each Interview, by the Submission confirmation, preceded by a summary that identifies the Interview, the flagged passages when they are available, the economic terms that apply depending on the outcome, and the Exploitation Authorisation granted. For each acceptance, dilmind keeps the identifier of the Account and, where applicable, of the Interview, the exact texts accepted, their version and their fingerprint, the economic terms and the timestamp, in conditions able to guarantee their integrity and their link to the Expert, for as long as the Interview is exploited and until the applicable limitation periods expire. A summary and a copy of the terms accepted are sent to the Expert without delay, on a durable medium that lets them keep and reproduce them. The evidential value of these records is assessed under Articles 1366 and 1367 of the French Civil Code, without depriving the Expert of proof to the contrary.

1.5 Notices and time limits. Notices under the Expert Terms are sent to the Expert by email, to the address associated with their Account, and where relevant within their Account. They are deemed received on the day they are sent, unless a technical failure is proved. The Expert keeps that address up to date. Notices to dilmind go to contact@dilmind.com, or to the dedicated address where the Expert Terms give one. Unless stated otherwise, time limits are in calendar days.

2. The Account and freedom to take part

2.1 Signing up. Signing up, by email address or with LinkedIn, is open to individuals who are of age and have capacity to contract. The Expert gives accurate information, keeps a professional profile true to their identity, and keeps their sign-in details confidential. An established professional profile is required to contribute to a Topic. The Account is strictly personal; the Expert may not let anyone else use it.

2.2 Being shown by name. Clients see the Expert's name and photo only once the Expert's identity has been checked, either by the identity verification provider dilmind appoints, at the first payout request or, at the Expert's request, at any time, or by signing in with a LinkedIn account in the same name. Until then, an Account opened with an email address and a password is shown to Clients without a name or photo, even if the Expert chose to be shown by name. If the LinkedIn account's name stops matching the profile, the Expert is shown without a name again until a new check. The conditions of the processing are set out in the privacy policy; the provider is identified before the check.

2.3 Freedom to take part. The Expert freely chooses their Topics and when they are available. They may ignore an invitation, turn down a request, not answer a question, not start an Interview or stop one, and none of this alone leads to a sanction or any consequence for their Account. No hours, minimum volume, reputation score, exclusivity or non-compete obligation is imposed on them.

2.4 Contributions. An Expert can contribute to the same Topic only once. The Expert may hold at most five contributions not yet started; a contribution not started within thirty days is released. The only consequence of these rules is the loss of the contribution concerned, to the exclusion of any sanction.

2.5 Independence. The Expert works fully independently, organises their own means and fulfils their own reporting, tax and social security obligations as their status requires. If they are an employee, they warrant that this activity is compatible with their commitments and, where needed, authorised by their employer. The parties organise their relationship with no subordination, no exclusivity and no non-compete obligation. Only a breach of contract or of the law can justify the measures restricting access to the Service in article 9; declining to take part, or the outcome of an assessment, cannot.

2.6 dilmind's reporting duties. The Expert is informed that dilmind may be required, as a platform operator, to give them information on their tax and social security obligations and a yearly summary of the sums they received through it, and to report those sums and the Expert's identification details to the tax authorities. The Expert gives dilmind, on first request, the information needed, in particular their tax identification number, their address and their date of birth. Failing that, dilmind may suspend payment of the sums due until it is given, without prejudice to the other measures the law imposes. Sums are paid less any withholding at source that dilmind would be legally required to make. A tax treaty applies only on production of the proof of residence provided for in Annex A for each category of sums. If a withholding becomes payable because of an inaccurate statement by the Expert, dilmind may deduct it from the sums later due to the Expert.

2.7 dilmind's Service and prohibited uses. dilmind holds, or is licensed, all rights in the Service, in particular its software, databases, trademarks, interfaces and editorial content, except the Interviews, which are subject to the Exploitation Authorisations and Subsidiary Assignments defined in article 6 and to the rights reserved to the Expert. It grants the Expert, for as long as they are signed up, a personal, non-exclusive and non-transferable right to use the Service in accordance with the Expert Terms.

In particular, the Expert shall not:

(a) extract or reuse, by automated means or otherwise, all or a substantial part of the Service's content or databases;

(b) copy, decompile or disassemble the Service's software, except where the law allows it;

(d) use the Service for purposes contrary to the law or to the Expert Terms.

3. Before and during the Interview

3.1 Information beforehand. Before the call, dilmind tells the Expert the Topic, the assessment criteria, the economic terms, the recording and transcription, and the Agent's involvement. Any Expert may contribute to a Topic, whatever their country of tax residence. Sums earned are paid only in a country where the payment provider appointed by dilmind can make a local transfer, excluding countries subject to sanctions measures; otherwise, they stay on the Expert's balance. The sums shown are before any withholding at source that may apply depending on the country of tax residence, under article 2.6 and article 6 of Annex A. The Expert declares their tax residence at the latest when they first ask for a payout and tells dilmind without delay of any change. The payment arrangements and the supporting documents required are stated before any participation.

3.2 Consent to recording. The Expert authorises dilmind to record their voice in order to conduct, record, transcribe and check the Interview and, if they submit it, to exploit it within the limits of the uses in article 6. This consent includes neither the right to imitate their voice nor the right to use their voice, photo, name, title or words for advertising. Any use for public communication requires a separate written agreement, given for each use.

3.3 Conduct of the Interview. The Interview consists of guided questions calling for factual answers and practitioner views. The Expert answers from their own experience and their own judgement. They shall not record the Interview themselves, have someone else stand in for them, or read out answers prepared by an artificial intelligence. They may decline to answer a question. The Agent is set to remind them aloud of the disclosure restrictions in article 4, and to ask for no internal documents, no non-public figures and no confidential information about a current or former employer or client. The Expert may speak of their professional experience, including with a current or former employer, in compliance with article 4. Information being numerical or operational does not take it outside these restrictions.

4. What must not be shared

4.1 Prohibitions. The Expert shall not disclose any trade secret, any information covered by a confidentiality undertaking or by professional secrecy, any data that could identify a third person, any inside information about a listed company, or any defamatory or disparaging statement. They shall not give an analysis of their current employer's non-public performance. They comply with their employment contract, their commitments to their clients and their professional obligations, including when dilmind proposed the Topic to them.

4.2 Warranties. The Expert warrants that they hold the rights and permissions needed in what they provide, and that its exploitation under the Expert Terms infringes neither the rights of third parties nor their commitments to an employer, a client or any other contracting party. They indemnify dilmind against any third-party claim based on a breach of these warranties, including awards made and reasonable defence costs, except for the share of the damage due to dilmind's own fault.

4.3 Calling on the warranty. dilmind tells the Expert of any claim, lets them take part in the defence, and shall not, without their agreement, settle on terms that put on them an admission of liability or a non-monetary obligation.

5. Outcome and Submission

5.1 Assessment. The Interview is assessed automatically on the Expert's participation, on how substantive and first-hand their answers are, and on the Interview's length. The assessment ends in one of the following outcomes, shown to the Expert with its main reasons:

(a) "fee and additional remuneration" (in the app: "strong, €100 + royalties"), when the Interview lasted at least fifteen minutes and the Expert gave precise answers, relevant to the Topic and based on their own professional experience, assessed against the assessment criteria given before the call under article 3.1; (b) "additional remuneration only" (in the app: "not strong enough, royalties only"), when the Interview contains answers relevant to the Topic without meeting all the conditions in (a);

(d) "interrupted" (in the app: "Interrupted"), when the call stopped through no fault of the Expert, who can start again;

(e) "not a fit" (in the app: "Not a fit"), when the Agent ended the call before fifteen minutes because the Expert had no relevant experience of the Topic. This outcome leads to neither pay nor penalty; the recording and the transcript are deleted when the time for a second look in article 5.2 runs out or, if there is a second look, after the answer.

Only outcomes (a) and (b) give effect to the Submission. At the Expert's request, an authorised person looks at the outcome again under article 5.2 and may correct it. No outcome leads to a public reputation score or a sanction on the Account.

5.2 A second look by a person. On an "additional remuneration only" (in the app: "not strong enough, royalties only"), "not kept" (in the app: "Not kept") or "not a fit" (in the app: "Not a fit") outcome, the Expert may, within fourteen days of the outcome and after Submission too, ask for a second look by a person with the button provided for it on the outcome screen and in the email. They may set out why they contest the outcome and obtain an explanation of the criteria applied. An authorised person at dilmind examines the information available and, where they are still kept, the transcript and the recording, and answers in writing within two weeks, with a signed decision that gives its reasons. The second look can raise the outcome, never lower it. If the second look earns the Fee, it is credited at Submission, or as soon as the decision is made if the Interview has already been submitted. During the second look, the time to submit and the reminders are suspended; a new period of fourteen days runs from the answer, and a "not kept" (in the app: "Not kept") Interview whose outcome is raised can be submitted. The material still available that is needed for the challenge is kept until the answer; an Interview classed "not a fit" (in the app: "Not a fit") remains subject to the deletion in article 5.1.

5.3 When to submit, and the cut. The Expert can submit the Interview as soon as the call ends, before knowing the outcome, or within fourteen days of the outcome. The Interview joins the Library as soon as the Submission takes effect. The Expert reads the transcript and the flagged passages with their reasons before the Submission when they are available and, at the latest, with the outcome; they may decide not to submit the Interview. The compliance check is separate from the assessment and applies to both outcomes that give effect to the Submission. By submitting the Interview, the Expert accepts the removal of the flagged passages. These passages are removed before segmentation and indexing, and the earlier version of the transcript is destroyed. The matching passages of the recording are deleted or made inaccessible in the same conditions. If a passage cannot be removed, the Interview stays out of the Library until it is examined. Without a Submission within the time allowed, or if the whole Interview is withdrawn, the recording and transcript are deleted, except only for the material needed for a pending challenge.

5.4 What the Submission does. A single final confirmation submits the cut version of the identified Interview and forms the Exploitation Authorisation and, where applicable, carries the Subsidiary Assignment in article 6. When it is made before the outcome, the Submission is made on the condition precedent of an outcome (a) or (b) as referred to in article 5.1, where applicable after the second look in article 5.2; it takes effect when that outcome is shown and has no effect on an outcome (c), (d) or (e). For fourteen days from when the outcome is shown, the Expert may ask for passages of the Interview to be withdrawn and, for a confidentiality reason only, for the whole Interview to be withdrawn; this period is suspended during the second look. Withdrawing the whole Interview ends the Exploitation Authorisation and the Subsidiary Assignment granted over it. A withdrawal applies from then on: the withdrawn passages or Interview leave the Library, and answers already given to Clients are not taken back. The Fee is earned when the Submission takes effect if the criteria in article 5.1 (a) are met; it is not due if the whole Interview is withdrawn. The Expert remains free not to submit; in that case, no Fee is due and the Interview is not exploited. The reporting procedures and the Expert's legal rights still apply.

6. Exploitation of each submitted Interview

6.1 Exploitation Authorisation. On Submission, the Expert authorises dilmind to exploit the recording and the cut transcript of the identified Interview, worldwide, within the limits of article 6.3 and subject to articles 9.4 and 10. This Exploitation Authorisation is granted for ten years from the Submission. At the end of that term, it continues for an indefinite period, and the Expert may end it at any time on six months' notice given under article 1.5, with no effect on answers already delivered or on copies already exported. The parties consider that the factual answers and practitioner views gathered in the Interview are not, in principle, works protected by copyright; if they were, the corresponding rights are assigned under the conditions of article 6.3. The Interview, its cut version and its economic terms are identified in the acceptance and the summary.

6.2 Reserved rights. The Expert keeps their knowledge, their experience, their know-how and the personality rights attached to their voice and image, as well as their moral right where it applies. The Exploitation Authorisation creates no monopoly on facts, ideas or methods. The Expert undertakes, for five years from the Submission, not to republish, assign or commercialise to a third party the recording or transcript submitted. This undertaking does not limit the Expert's use or communication of their knowledge, experience and know-how, including to third parties or in another Interview. Where the Expert acts through their company, the company grants the Exploitation Authorisation and, where applicable, the Subsidiary Assignment jointly with the Expert, under the conditions of Annex B.

6.3 Authorised uses and Subsidiary Assignment. The Exploitation Authorisation allows dilmind:

(a) to keep the recording and the cut transcript, to make segments, technical copies, indexes and vector representations of them, and to reproduce all or part of their content in the answers and transcripts made available on the Service;

(b) to make these answers, quotes and transcripts available to Clients, under their plan, Clients on the Free Plan reading the answers without the Experts' names, and to Experts, under the conditions of article 8.6, the full submitted transcript being, from when this feature opens, readable by Clients holding a Paid Plan whether the Interview is shown with or without a name and photo;

(c) to select, summarise, combine and rephrase what the Expert said to produce the answers of the Service and of the Digital Mind, without presenting them as words the Expert actually said;

(d) to translate this content for the same purposes.

These uses have the sole purpose of professional research and analysis. They are made exclusively on the Service, in the authorised exports and through the API. Excluded are publishing the Interviews in open access on the internet, any advertising use, imitating the Expert's voice and training artificial intelligence models. Being shown without a name does not bring the masking of all identifying details, and does not make reading the full transcript subject to a further agreement.

If all or part of the Interview is protected by copyright, the Expert assigns to dilmind, exclusively, on the date of that Interview's Submission, the rights of reproduction, communication to the public, adaptation and translation needed for the uses defined above, within the same limits, worldwide and for the legal term of protection. The Additional Remuneration in Annex A is the proportional remuneration for this assignment; the Fee is not set against it. The assignment extends to digital forms of exploitation not foreseeable at the date of the Submission, for the same purpose and within the same limits; exploiting them entitles the Expert to a share in the resulting profits, at the Additional Remuneration rate that applies to the Interview. Accepting the Expert Terms does not, by itself, assign any right in a future Interview.

6.4 Licence to Clients. dilmind may grant Clients a licence limited to using the answers, quotes and transcripts in their professional work and deliverables, including for their own clients, with the attributions shown. This licence excludes any republication or resale of the Interviews or transcripts, in particular as a stand-alone collection.

6.5 Artificial intelligence. dilmind does not use or sell the Expert's words to train, fine-tune or improve artificial intelligence models, and forbids its Clients to do so. The privacy policy sets out the providers' processing and the information on earlier data.

6.6 Transfer. dilmind may transfer the Expert Terms, the Exploitation Authorisations and the Subsidiary Assignments to a successor in a merger, a restructuring or a sale of the Service, provided the successor takes on the obligations of payment, attribution and respect of rights attached to the Interviews. The Expert agrees to this in advance; they are told of the transfer. dilmind remains bound by obligations that arose earlier and were not performed, unless the Expert expressly releases it.

6.7 If the Service stops. If the Service stops, the sums earned remain due, and the Additional Remuneration ends only for the exploitations that end. The Exploitation Authorisations, Subsidiary Assignments and licences of use validly granted survive within their limits, with no obligation on dilmind to keep the Service running, subject to justified withdrawals and the Expert's mandatory rights.

6.8 dilmind's own rights. These terms do not affect the rights dilmind holds as producer of the recordings it makes and as producer of the database formed by the Library.

7. Attribution and Digital Mind

7.1 How the Expert is shown. On Submission, the Expert chooses for each Interview to be shown with their name and photo or without them. Being shown by name is subject to the conditions in article 2.2. In an answer based on an Interview shown without a name, the Expert's first initial, exact title and company may remain visible. This choice has no effect on the Fee, the Additional Remuneration rate or the rules of calculation and selection. It does not take the Interview out of the Library, and its full transcript remains, from when this feature opens, available to Clients holding a Paid Plan, under their plan. No general masking of identifying details is done before Submission; the withdrawal of confidential passages still applies. The choice can be changed before and after the Submission. The Digital Mind stays active whatever presentation is chosen, including for a profile without a name. The career and role information may allow the Expert to be recognised; this choice is not anonymisation.

7.2 Digital Mind. The Digital Mind gives answers generated by artificial intelligence from the Expert's Interviews. Each conversation opens with the words "AI answer from the interviews of", followed by the Expert's first name, then "not their own words." (in the app: "AI answer from [first name]'s interviews, not [first name]'s own words.") When the Interview is shown without a name, the words refer to "this expert". The Digital Mind has no on or off setting and is turned off only when the Account is closed. The Expert controls the content their Digital Mind rests on: they decide, for each Interview, whether to include it. When no Interview is included, the Digital Mind is not available; the Expert's profile stays until their Account is closed. Group chats use only the Interviews shown under the names of their authors. Withdrawing a piece of content hides its quotes under article 9.4.

7.3 Reporting a wrong answer. The Expert can report to dilmind, from their Account or at contact@dilmind.com, any answer of the Digital Mind or of the search engine that distorts their words or attributes to them a view they did not express. dilmind looks at the report within fourteen days. If the report is well founded, it removes or corrects the answer in the conversations it keeps and takes reasonable steps to keep it from happening again. This article does not affect the Expert's right to have their words respected.

7.4 Clients' questions. The questions asked in a Conversation are passed on, in full, with the answers given to them, to the Experts whose Interviews are quoted in the answers and, where the Conversation is held with a Digital Mind, to the Expert it is associated with. The Expert also learns the User's name and photo and the Client's name, unless the User chose to ask their questions anonymously; this choice, which can be changed at any time, applies to all the questions in the Conversation, including those already asked. If the Conversation is deleted, the User is withdrawn or the Client's space is closed, the questions already passed on remain available to the Expert, without the User's name or photo or the Client's name, until the Expert's Account is closed. The Expert keeps these questions and the identity of those who asked them confidential, uses them only for the use of the Service and passes them on to no third party, unless the law requires it. They shall not contact a User or a Client on the basis of this information, nor try to identify the author of a question asked anonymously. The Additional Remuneration does not depend on the Client's identity, and the statements sent to the Expert do not allow the Client to be identified.

7.5 Questions between Experts. When the Expert questions the Library or another Expert's Digital Mind, their questions are passed on in full to the Experts whose Interviews are quoted in the answers and, in a conversation with another Expert's Digital Mind, to the Expert it is associated with. A setting for each conversation, on by default, shows them the name, photo, title and company of the Expert asking the question; if it is switched off, only that Expert's title and company are shown to them. The questions the Expert asks their own Digital Mind are passed on to no third party. After the conversation is deleted or its author's Account is closed, the questions already passed on remain available to their recipients, without the author's name or photo, until each recipient's Account is closed. The Expert who receives these questions keeps them confidential under the conditions of article 7.4.

8. Remuneration and Direct Calls

8.1 Remuneration. Annex A sets the Fee, the Additional Remuneration and how they are paid. An Interview classed "fee and additional remuneration" (in the app: "strong, €100 + royalties") under article 5.1 (a) earns a €100 Fee when its Submission takes effect under article 5.4, or at the favourable second look if it has already been submitted. This Fee pays for the Interview service. The Submission is the Expert's approval of the cut version of their service and is the condition for the Fee to become payable; the Fee is not the consideration for the Exploitation Authorisation, nor an advance, nor the price of the Subsidiary Assignment, and is not set against the Additional Remuneration. Every eligible submitted Interview earns proportional Additional Remuneration from its first paid exploitation, on the base and terms in Annex A, at the rate set in article 2.3 of Annex A, in force at the Submission. If copyright exists, this Additional Remuneration pays for it under article 6.3. Reducing the rate of an Interview already submitted requires the Expert's express agreement. Where payment of a sum is suspended pending the supporting documents required by Annex A, that sum remains the Expert's and is paid to them as soon as they are received, with no forfeiture and no expiry date.

8.2 Custom Interview. A custom Interview is conducted by the Agent on a Topic ordered by a Client, without the Client present. It follows the same rules of exploitation and remuneration as other Interviews. Any inclusion in the Library earns the Additional Remuneration attached to paid exploitations.

8.3 Direct Call. When this feature is open, the Direct Call is a separate service, for which dilmind contracts in its own name with the Client and with the Expert, with no contract between them. The Expert freely sets their rate, with no imposed range; the pay and the length are accepted before the call. The Fee pays for the service; it is not an advance and is never set against the Additional Remuneration. dilmind may suggest an indicative rate; the suggestion is optional, and choosing another rate has no adverse consequence. The Expert learns the Client's identity and the agenda before accepting; they remain free to decline, to stop the call or not to answer. Both parties accept the disclosure rules and are told of the recording and transcription. Where the Expert has granted, for the call, the Exploitation Authorisation and, where applicable, the Subsidiary Assignment in article 6 and Annex A, at the rate shown before the call, the content is reserved for the Client for three months, and may then join the Library once the Client's identity, company and voice are effectively removed and its questions neutralised. Without the cut or an Exploitation Authorisation, it stays out of the Library.

8.4 Commitments specific to the Direct Call. For each Direct Call, the Expert undertakes to share no inside or confidential information about a current or former employer. dilmind obtains from the Client an undertaking to seek no non-public information and to apply its own compliance rules. The Expert keeps the Client's identity, the agenda and the non-public information received confidential, and uses them only for the call, unless the law requires otherwise or the information has become public through no fault of theirs.

8.5 Non-solicitation. For six months from the first introduction, the Expert shall not approach the Client directly for a service that comes directly from that introduction. Relationships that existed before, and services unrelated to the introduction, are excluded. This obligation does not stop the Expert from working for other clients or using their own expertise.

8.6 Experts' free access. Each Expert has 250 free chat credits a month, renewed on the first day of the month, with no contribution required; dilmind may grant them more. These credits are not sold, not transferable and not convertible into money, and do not come from their earnings. Each submitted Interview opens the Topic concerned and gives a Topic credit to open another Topic, in any landscape. An Expert who has not opened a Topic reads, on that Topic's page, one point, one quote and one line where its Experts disagree, with only the first letter of the quoted Expert's first name. Access to content depends on the Topics opened and on the presentation settings. Group chats use the Interviews, shown by name, of their members. Answers an Expert reads for free earn no Additional Remuneration. Reading rights exclude republication, resale and training models. Access ends when the Account is closed. A substantial reduction of the quota or of the scope is announced thirty days in advance, with no effect on remuneration already earned.

8.7 Referrals. Any Expert can act as a Referrer, even if they have not submitted any Interview themselves. The referral is validated when the Referee submits a first Interview admitted to the Library. The Referrer then receives a commission equal to 20% of the Fees and Additional Remuneration paid to the Referee for the Referee's own Interviews, from the first euro, under the conditions and within the limits in article 4.3 of Annex A. When the Referee submits their first Interview, whatever its outcome, the Referrer also receives one Topic credit, once per Referee, usable on any Topic in any landscape, a closed one included; this credit is not money and does not reduce the commission. This commission is paid by dilmind and does not reduce the sums due to the Referee. It pays for bringing in business and gives the Referrer no right in the Referee's Interviews. It covers only the Referrer's direct Referees and is subject to the residence conditions in article 3.1. The Referrer shares their link in their own name, without presenting themselves as dilmind's representative, without mass unsolicited messages and without promising earnings. No commission is due for referring oneself, for multiple Accounts or for a fictitious referee.

9. Reports, suspension and exclusion

9.1 Reports. Any content that is unlawful or breaches the Expert Terms can be reported to report@dilmind.com, reachable from the Service's pages. The report states the facts and why the content is unlawful, the exact location or identifier of the content, the name and email address of the person reporting, save where the law provides otherwise, and a statement that the information given is accurate, made in good faith.

9.2 Handling. dilmind acknowledges the report within two working days and handles it without undue delay; a serious report leads, as soon as it is received, to a precautionary restriction of the content. The Expert is told of the relevant complaints and has fourteen days to give their observations, subject to the immediate measures the law imposes. The decision is made within fourteen days of those observations or, failing them, of the end of that period. It states the facts, the contractual or legal grounds, the measure taken and how long it lasts, any use of automated tools and how to contest it, and it is sent to the people concerned. It can be contested at report@dilmind.com for review by a person, without prejudice to court action and the other routes the law opens.

9.3 Breaches by the Expert. At the second Interview reported for an established breach of the disclosure rules, dilmind sends the Expert a warning. At the third, an authorised person decides, after examining the facts, to suspend the ability to contribute to new Topics, by a notice that gives its reasons, the Interviews concerned and the effects of the measure; the Account, the balance, the validly submitted Interviews, the Additional Remuneration and cashing out stay available. The Expert has fourteen days to give their observations, after which an authorised person at dilmind confirms or lifts the measure.

Creating a fake profile, having someone else take part instead of the Expert, reading out answers written by an artificial intelligence, or the Expert recording the Interview, can justify an immediate suspension, decided by an authorised person at dilmind, then an exclusion with reasons, after fourteen days left to the Expert to give their observations. The Interviews concerned are withdrawn for want of a valid Exploitation Authorisation, and the sums for them not yet paid are cancelled; sums already paid are not claimed back.

Sanctions and restrictions imposed by law are applied as the law provides, including as to the limits on what the Expert must be told.

9.4 Withdrawing a submitted Interview. The "Delete" button takes the Interview off the profile and out of new searches and conversations, without cancelling the Fee earned or, by itself, erasing the quotes already delivered or the material needed to prove the rights. This functional withdrawal is separate from a legal withdrawal, which can be requested for one of the following reasons: a well-founded report, an exclusion for fraud that affects its Exploitation Authorisation, a well-founded erasure request, the author exercising their right of withdrawal, a court decision, or the end of the Exploitation Authorisation under article 6.1. Withdrawing a passage or an Interview blocks its search, its extracts and its vectors, and any new answer or use by the Digital Mind. In the conversations dilmind keeps, the quotes concerned are replaced by the words "passage withdrawn" (in the app: "This passage has been withdrawn."); the rest of the answer stays, unless more must be removed. Erasure, or the exercise of the right of withdrawal, also deletes the recording and transcript concerned, providers' copies included, as the applicable obligations require. Copies already exported are beyond dilmind's technical control; Clients are told of any withdrawal for unlawfulness and are bound, under the Client Terms, to stop using the passages concerned. Withdrawing a passage does not reduce the remuneration already earned; a withdrawn Interview stops earning Additional Remuneration, the Fee for the service remaining earned, unless there is fraud affecting the service itself. This procedure may be carried out by hand, with the same time limits and effects.

10. Closing the Account and rights requests

10.1 Closing the Account. Closing their Account is, subject to articles 6.1, 9.3 and 10.8, the Expert's only way to leave the contract; inactivity is not closure, subject to article 10.3. Closing, done from the settings, is final; signing up again does not reattach the old Interviews. It deletes the profile, the photo and the personal conversations, turns the Digital Mind off, and removes the Expert's name from the Interviews and quotes, including in earlier answers dilmind keeps. Validly submitted Interviews can still be exploited without a name and stop earning Additional Remuneration from the closing, whatever its cause; the balance earned by then remains due. Going on exploiting them without a name is neither irreversible anonymisation nor the refusal of a separate erasure request. Copies already exported cannot be recalled by dilmind.

10.2 Sums due. The Fees earned and the Additional Remuneration remain due, with no set-off between them. The balance earned can be paid out at closure, with no minimum, less the fixed transfer fee shown before confirmation; the Expert can also expressly give it up. A balance that cannot technically be paid out stays due; dilmind applies no contractual expiry date to it, and the Expert can claim it through support. The identity and email address needed for that payment are kept until it is made. Accounting and tax records, and the proof of rights, are kept for their own periods.

10.3 Inactivity. An Account with no Interview in the Library and no balance is closed after three years without a sign-in, after a warning email sent one month before.

10.4 Death. If the Expert dies, the Account is closed and the Interviews follow the rules on removing the name in article 10.1, unless the successors ask otherwise. The balance earned by the date of death is due to the heirs, on presentation of the necessary proof of succession.

10.5 Erasure of data. Closing the Account, asking for personal data to be erased, and exercising the moral right to reconsider or withdraw are separate. A well-founded erasure request covers the recording, the transcript, the extracts, the vectors and the quotes dilmind still holds, subject to the exceptions in law, and the recipients are informed as required.

10.6 The right to reconsider or withdraw. Where content is protected by copyright, the right to reconsider or withdraw is exercised by a written request, Interview by Interview. The prior compensation provided for by law is the loss dilmind actually suffers, shown by documents; it is capped at the total the Expert actually received for the Interview concerned, Additional Remuneration and other sums paying for the rights included, excluding the Fee for the service. This mechanism does not make an erasure that the law grounds conditional on paying compensation.

10.7 Contacts. Requests about personal data go to privacy@dilmind.com, and those about the contractual relationship to contact@dilmind.com.

10.8 Termination by dilmind. dilmind may terminate the Expert Terms for an Expert, without giving a reason, on three months' notice given under article 1.5, without prejudice to the measures in article 9. The decision is made by an authorised person at dilmind. During the notice period, the Expert can no longer contribute to a new Topic, but can submit the Interviews already given within the time allowed.

When the notice period ends:

(a) the Exploitation Authorisations and Subsidiary Assignments validly granted survive, and the Interviews stop earning Additional Remuneration from that date, the balance earned remaining due;

(b) the Interviews keep the presentation the Expert chose, and the Expert can ask for their name to be removed;

Termination does not affect the exercise of the rights in articles 9.4, 10.5 and 10.6.

11. Changes and governing law

11.1 Changes. Any substantial change to the Expert's rights, costs or obligations is notified to them thirty days before it takes effect and requires a new acceptance. Corrections of form are published with the new version, with no new acceptance. An Expert who does not accept the new version can close their Account under article 10. Each Interview remains governed by the version of the Expert Terms accepted at the Interview's Submission; a change cannot reduce the rights or the remuneration attached to Interviews already submitted without the Expert's new agreement.

11.2 Governing law. The Expert Terms are governed by French law, subject to the mandatory provisions that apply.

11.3 Jurisdiction. The courts of Paris have jurisdiction, within the limits of Article 25 of Regulation (EU) No 1215/2012 and the protective rules that apply, in particular for a consumer, or for an employee if the relationship is recharacterised. For an Expert who is not a trader and is domiciled in France, jurisdiction follows the mandatory rules of French law.

11.4 Language. The Expert Terms are offered in French and in English; the French version prevails.

11.5 Severability. If a provision of the Expert Terms is held void or unenforceable, it is deemed unwritten, without affecting the validity of the other provisions. The parties will try to replace it with a lawful provision whose effect is as close as possible.

11.6 No waiver. A party's failure to rely on a breach by the other party is not a waiver of the right to rely on it later.

11.7 Entire agreement. The Expert Terms and their annexes are the entire agreement of the parties on their subject and replace any earlier exchange on that subject.

12. Liability and force majeure

12.1 Liability. To the extent the law allows, dilmind is liable only for direct and proven damage that results from a breach attributable to it; indirect damage and the loss of hoped-for future income are excluded. Its liability is capped at the sums paid or due to the Expert in the twelve months before the event that gave rise to it. This cap applies neither to paying sums earned, nor to mandatory intellectual property or personal data protection rights, nor where the law forbids limiting liability, and it cannot empty an essential obligation of dilmind of its substance.

12.2 Force majeure. A case of force majeure within the meaning of Article 1218 of the French Civil Code suspends only the obligations it prevents, from when the other party is told. If it lasts more than sixty days, either party may end the future services concerned, without prejudice to rights already earned.

Annex A remuneration of dilmind experts

Effective date: 8 November 2026

This annex ("Annex A") forms an integral part of the general terms and conditions for dilmind experts (the "Expert Terms"). Capitalised terms that are not defined by Annex A have the meaning given to them in the preliminary article of the Expert Terms. It sets the conditions on which the Fees, the Additional Remuneration and the other sums due to the Expert are earned, calculated and paid.

1. The Interview's outcome and the Fee

1.1 Applicable conditions. The Fee that applies to an Interview is the one shown before it. The rate of Additional Remuneration is the one set in article 2.3, in force at its Submission, in accordance with article 1.3 of the Expert Terms.

1.2 Fee. An Interview classed "fee and additional remuneration" (in the app: "strong, €100 + royalties") under article 5.1 (a) of the Expert Terms earns a Fee of €100 when its Submission takes effect, on the terms of article 5.4 of the Expert Terms, the Submission amounting to the Expert's approval of the redacted version of their service. This Fee pays for the Interview service and is credited on that date; on a favourable review of an Interview already submitted, it is credited as soon as the decision is made. No Fee is due without a Submission or where the whole Interview is withdrawn under article 5.4 of the Expert Terms. The Fee is neither the consideration for the Exploitation Authorisation, nor an advance on the Additional Remuneration, nor the price of the Subsidiary Assignment.

1.3 Other outcomes. An Interview whose outcome is "additional remuneration only" (in the app: "not strong enough, royalties only") can be submitted and earn Additional Remuneration, without earning the Fee. An Interview whose outcome is "not kept" (in the app: "Not kept") or "not a fit" (in the app: "Not a fit") cannot be used, and any Submission of it has no effect, unless its outcome is raised after the review under article 5.2 of the Expert Terms. An "interrupted" (in the app: "Interrupted") Interview is not used; the Expert can start it again. The audio and the transcript of a "not a fit" (in the app: "Not a fit") Interview are deleted when the review period ends or, where a review is asked for, after the answer.

1.4 Finality. Subject to the withdrawal of the whole Interview under article 5.4 of the Expert Terms, the Fee earned is set against no Additional Remuneration, from this Interview or another. It is not refundable, in particular where the Interview is not used, where it is withdrawn or where the Account is closed. In the event of fraud affecting the service, the Fee not yet paid out is cancelled on the terms of article 9.3 of the Expert Terms.

2. The base and rate of Additional Remuneration

2.1 Reference Revenue. For each paid request, the "Reference Revenue" is the number of credits that request used, multiplied by the unit price of the credit the Client actually paid, excluding tax and after commercial discounts, including those given under a Subscription within the meaning of the Client Terms. For credits included in a Subscription, the unit price equals the price excluding tax of the Subscription Period divided by the number of credits it includes.

2.2 Net Base. The "Net Base" is the Reference Revenue minus only the cost billed to dilmind by its artificial intelligence model providers for processing that request. It cannot be negative. No other cost, in particular staff, infrastructure, data collection, building the Library or operations, is deductible.

2.3 Rate. The Additional Remuneration pays for the Exploitation Authorisation of the Interview under article 6 of the Expert Terms; if the Interview is protected by copyright, it is the proportional remuneration of the Subsidiary Assignment under article 6.3 of the Expert Terms. For each request, the Additional Remuneration equals the rate that applies to the Interview multiplied by the Net Base, then split under article 2.4. This rate is a single rate for every kind of use. The rate in force at the Submission is kept for the Interview; no Interview can be submitted without a set rate. dilmind may raise this rate at any time. Any reduction of the rate that applies to an Interview already submitted requires the Expert's express agreement.

2.4 Calculation and split. The Additional Remuneration is calculated request by request, with no pooling across requests. Where an answer rests on several Interviews, the Additional Remuneration is split between them in proportion to the part of the answer each one grounds; a passage the system looked at but did not use in the answer is not counted. Where those parts cannot be measured, the Additional Remuneration is split equally between the Interviews quoted.

2.5 Exclusions. The Experts' free consultations and answers, including those of their own Digital Mind, earn no Additional Remuneration. Nor do requests not billed to a Client. These exclusions authorise no use outside the rights and purposes agreed.

3. Kinds of use

3.1 Scope. Articles 1 and 2 apply to every kind of use billed in credits, in particular the search engine's quotes and answers, exchanges with the Digital Mind, and providing datasets, reports or transcripts.

3.2 Digital Mind. The Additional Remuneration arising from an exchange with an Expert's Digital Mind, bought by a Client holding a Paid Plan, goes in full to that Expert.

3.3 Actual use. Additional Remuneration is due only once Clients holding a Paid Plan consume the content. dilmind guarantees no volume of requests.

4. Custom Interviews, Direct Calls and referrals

4.1 Custom Interview. A custom Interview conducted by the Agent is paid under articles 1 to 3; its entry into the Library does not exclude Additional Remuneration on later paid uses.

4.2 Direct Call. When this feature is open, a Direct Call is paid by a Fee the Expert sets freely, with no imposed range, accepted before the call together with its length. This Fee is earned for the service actually given. It is not an advance and is not set against Additional Remuneration. dilmind may suggest an indicative rate; the suggestion is optional, and choosing another rate has no adverse consequence for the Expert. Where the Expert has granted, for this call, the Exploitation Authorisation and, where applicable, the Subsidiary Assignment under article 6 of the Expert Terms, and the content has been redacted under article 8.3 of the Expert Terms, this content can join the Library when the Client's three-month reserved period ends; it then earns Additional Remuneration under articles 2 and 3.

4.3 Referral. The referral commission under article 8.7 of the Expert Terms equals 20% of the Fees and Additional Remuneration paid to the Referee for their own Interviews, from the first euro, up to €240 per Referee. It is credited to the Referrer's earnings account on the date of each payment to the Referee and paid out on the terms of article 5. It is borne by dilmind, does not reduce the sums due to the Referee and is shown separately from the Referrer's Fees and Additional Remuneration.

5. The Account, the statement and payouts

5.1 Earnings account. The "Earnings" page shows the Fees, the Additional Remuneration and the referral commissions separately. Where supporting documents are required under article 6.1, the calculated Additional Remuneration is shown as "pending" (in the app: "on hold") until they are validated; it is then neither entered in the available balance nor payable. Pending sums remain the Expert's, with no forfeiture or expiry date, and are entered in the available balance as soon as the supporting documents are validated, with no Fee set against them.

5.2 Payouts. The Expert can ask for their available balance to be paid out once it reaches €50, and with no minimum when they close their Account. dilmind handles requests every working day and makes the payout within ten working days, subject to the required identity checks, legal restrictions, and the payment provider designated by dilmind being able to make a bank transfer to the Expert's country of residence on the day of the request. The tax supporting documents are those set out in article 6.1; the Additional Remuneration being pending does not prevent the payout of Fees and referral commissions. The balance of an Expert who lives in a country not served stays due; dilmind applies no contractual expiry date to it. As long as payouts through the payment provider are not open, or where they are unavailable for a cause specific to the provider, dilmind pays the balance due by direct bank transfer, within thirty days of the request. The identity of the payment provider is shown to the Expert on the payout request screen, before they confirm.

5.3 Currency and fees. Conversion into the currency of the Expert's bank account is done by the payment provider at the exchange rate announced before confirmation; an estimate of the amount is shown before confirmation. dilmind pays the ordinary payout fees. When the Account is closed, a fixed fee of €5, shown before confirmation, applies to the payout. Where the balance is below that fee or cannot be transferred, it stays due and can be claimed later through support, who pay it out with no fee. The Expert can expressly give up their balance when closing their Account; giving it up is never presumed.

5.4 No conversion. Earnings are entered and paid in euros, subject to the bank's currency exchange. They cannot be converted into chat or Topic credits. The free access under article 8.6 of the Expert Terms is separate from the earnings account.

5.5 Yearly statement. By 31 January each year, dilmind sends the Expert a statement, as a PDF, of the past calendar year's transactions. For each Interview, the statement shows the Reference Revenue and the Net Base of the requests concerned, the rate applied, the amount of Additional Remuneration by kind of use, the Fees and referral commissions shown separately, as well as the available balance, the pending sums, the sums earned and the sums paid. The first statement is sent in the January after the first year in which Fees or Additional Remuneration are earned. Transactions from use show the item bought and the share attributed to each Interview, without revealing the Client's identity. The Expert can report any error to contact@dilmind.com. Nothing here takes away the rights to information, remuneration and revision the law gives the Expert.

5.6 Events affecting the Account or the Service. Suspending the ability to contribute to new Topics affects neither the balance nor the Additional Remuneration from validly submitted Interviews. The justified withdrawal of a passage does not reduce sums already earned; a withdrawn Interview stops earning Additional Remuneration. Closing the Account and the Expert's death are governed by article 10 of the Expert Terms. If the Service is sold, the buyer takes on the payment obligations; if it stops running, the sums earned remain due. Any compensation due under the author's right of withdrawal is the one in article 10 of the Expert Terms, capped at the loss actually suffered and the sums received; it is not a repayment of the service Fee.

6. Tax and the Expert's company

6.1 Obligations and supporting documents. The Expert, or the company acting under Annex B, alone remains responsible for their tax and social security obligations. They declare their tax residence, their address and their tax identification number from their Account. Where a certificate of tax residence lowers the tax withheld at source, a sworn declaration of their tax residence, made from their Account, takes its place for the payout of Fees, sums due for Direct Calls and referral commissions, up to €2,500 a calendar year; beyond that, each payout that year requires the certificate of tax residence for the year. Neither is asked of an Expert who lives in France or in a country where the certificate does not change what is withheld. These rules apply subject to the required identity checks and to article 2.6 of the Expert Terms. For the payout of Additional Remuneration to a beneficiary whose tax residence is not in France, the beneficiary provides the proof of residence that the applicable tax rules require to benefit from the tax treaty, as set out in their Account. Where the applicable rules allow it, in particular for limited amounts, a declaration of residence made from their Account takes its place. Until they are validated, these sums are "pending" (in the app: "on hold") on the terms of article 5.1.

Any change of tax residence or of beneficiary is declared without delay and, in any event, before the next payout. The Expert also provides the information needed for the reports the law requires of dilmind, in accordance with article 2.6 of the Expert Terms.

6.2 Eligible countries and withholding. Any Expert may contribute to a Topic, whatever their country of tax residence; sums earned are paid to them only in a country where the payment provider designated by dilmind can make a local transfer, which is checked at each payout request, excluding countries subject to sanctions. Before contributing, the Expert is told that withholding tax may apply depending on their country of tax residence; the sums shown are before that withholding. Where a country stops meeting these conditions, the sums its residents have earned stay on their balance.

dilmind withholds tax at source and makes the reports required by law and, where applicable, by the applicable tax treaty, in accordance with article 2.6 of the Expert Terms. A zero or reduced rate applies only if the conditions of the treaty are met and the supporting documents under article 6.1 have been provided.

6.3 Invoicing. An Expert who does not act as a taxable person for value added tax issues no invoice; dilmind gives them a statement of the sums paid. A taxable Expert gives dilmind, which accepts, a mandate to issue in their name and on their behalf the invoices for the sums paid to them, under article 289, I-2 of the General Tax Code. Each invoice bears the mention "Self-billing" and the other legal mentions that apply; it is made available to the Expert in their Account and deemed accepted unless disputed within fifteen days. Where the Expert is established outside France, any tax due is paid by dilmind under article 283, 2 of the same code and the invoice bears the mention "Reverse charge". The Expert remains responsible for their own tax obligations and tells dilmind without delay of any change in their situation as regards the tax.

6.4 The Expert's company. Payment to the Expert's company is governed by Annex B. It changes neither how the Additional Remuneration is calculated nor the rights attached to the author in person.

Annex B experts working through their own company

Effective date: 8 November 2026

This annex ("Annex B") forms an integral part of the general terms and conditions for dilmind experts (the "Expert Terms"). Capitalised terms that are not defined by Annex B have the meaning given to them in the preliminary article of the Expert Terms. It allows the Expert to work through a company in which they hold, directly or indirectly, the majority of the share capital and of the voting rights and of which they are the legal representative; the sums for their Interviews are then due to that company, on the terms of article 3. It applies neither to the Expert's employer nor to a structure in which several people work; those cases need a separate agreement.

1. Parties and identification

1.1 Parties. This annex is made between:

(a) the Expert holding the Account, identified by the name, address and identifier entered in their Account;

(b) the company designated by the Expert in their Account, identified by its company name, its legal form, its registered office, its registration number and, where it has one, its intra-EU VAT number, and meeting the conditions of the preamble with regard to the Expert (the "Company");

1.2 Declarations. The Expert declares, by selecting the options offered in their Account: (i) whether or not they are an employee of the Company; (ii) whether they have transferred rights in their Interviews to the Company by a written deed and, if so, the extent of that transfer. Without such a deed, any copyright in their Interviews is deemed to belong to them personally. The Expert, as legal representative, declares they have the power to bind the Company. The Company gives its registration number and its payment details. The Expert declares that they control the Company, within the meaning of the preamble, in the acceptance box of this annex.

1.3 Sole traders. An Expert who works as a sole trader, with no separate legal person, contracts in their own name under their professional identity and need not sign this annex.

2. The person who speaks, and the rights

2.1 Joint authorisation and Subsidiary Assignment. At the Submission of each identified Interview, the Expert and the Company jointly grant dilmind, each within the limits of the rights they hold, the Exploitation Authorisation under article 6 of the Expert Terms and, if the Interview is protected by copyright, the Subsidiary Assignment under article 6.3 of the Expert Terms. The Expert acts in their own name and in the name of the Company they represent. This annex does not, by itself, assign any right in a future Interview; the Exploitation Authorisation and, where applicable, the Subsidiary Assignment are formed at the Submission of each Interview.

2.2 Rights attached to the Expert in person. The Expert keeps their moral right. They personally consent to their voice being recorded, to its authorised uses and to how they are presented; the Company cannot act in their place.

2.3 Warranties. The Expert and the Company jointly and severally warrant to dilmind that they hold the rights needed for the Exploitation Authorisations and Subsidiary Assignments granted and that no third party, in particular an employer or a client, holds incompatible rights. They declare any transfer of rights between them. They jointly and severally indemnify dilmind against any third-party claim based on a breach of these warranties, under articles 4.2 and 4.3 of the Expert Terms.

2.4 Chain of rights. The joint Exploitation Authorisation and Subsidiary Assignment imply no transfer of rights by a third party. If the chain of rights in an Interview cannot be shown, that Interview stays out of the Library until it is put right.

2.5 Proof. For each Interview, dilmind keeps the Interview's reference (its identifier and the fingerprint of the redacted transcript), the version of the Expert Terms that applies, the Expert's Submission and the statement, in the Submission summary, that they also act in the name of the Company, the exact texts accepted, the times and the identification details. No general mandate removes the need to identify each Interview and to show the chain of rights. These items are kept on the terms and for the period set in article 1.4 of the Expert Terms.

3. Payment and the Company's obligations

3.1 Services and sums paid. The Company provides dilmind, through the Expert, with the Interview services and, where applicable, the Direct Call services. The Fees, the Additional Remuneration and, where applicable, the referral commissions are due to it under Annex A and invoiced under article 3.2. By choosing "My company" from their Account and accepting this annex, the Expert assigns to the Company, which accepts, all their payment claims on dilmind under the Expert Terms and their annexes, including copyright royalties and the sums earned before that choice and not yet paid, as well as the claims that arise while this annex applies. This assignment takes effect when this annex comes into force; dilmind consents to it. All these sums are paid into the Company's bank account, for its own account, with no split with the Expert. The sums stay itemised by Interview. This assignment of claims transfers no copyright to the Company: the Expert remains the author and personally grants, at each Submission, where applicable, the Subsidiary Assignment under article 6.3 of the Expert Terms. The Company must have its tax residence in a country meeting the conditions of article 6.2 of Annex A. The Company provides the supporting documents under article 6.1 of Annex A, subject to the tax requirements that apply to the beneficial owner of the sums. The assignment of claims does not prejudge the tax treatment of these sums.

3.2 Invoicing. The Company gives its invoicing details and the supporting documents required. It sends dilmind its own invoice for the sums due to it, before they are paid.

3.3 Changes. The Expert and the Company tell dilmind, without delay and, in any event, before the next payout, of any change in the Company's control or management, in who holds the rights, or in bank details.

3.4 No conversion. No earnings are converted into access or credits. The Expert's free access stays personal and gives the Company no access.

4. Limits and end

4.1 Limits. The Company has no access to the Expert's personal conversations, and no power to put another speaker in their place or to submit an Interview without their personal agreement.

4.2 End of the annex. The Expert can end this annex at any time, for the future, from their Account. It also stops applying, for the future, if the Company stops meeting the conditions of the preamble with regard to the Expert; payouts are then suspended while this is checked. In both cases, the sums earned by the Company stay due to it, the sums arising afterwards are due to the Expert under the Expert Terms, and the Exploitation Authorisations and Subsidiary Assignments already granted survive under article 4.3.

4.3 Survival of the rights granted. The Exploitation Authorisations and Subsidiary Assignments already granted survive within the limits and for the period set by the versions of the Expert Terms accepted, subject to the law and to justified withdrawals. The obligations to render accounts and to pay remuneration follow any continued use.

4.4 The Expert Terms apply. The provisions of the Expert Terms apply to the Company where relevant, in particular articles 1.5 (notifications), 2.6 (declaration obligations), 3.1 (residence conditions), 4 (warranties), 6.6 (transfer), 8.4 (confidentiality), 9 (reporting and suspension), 11 (governing law and jurisdiction), 12 (liability) and article 6 of Annex A (tax).

Signatures. This annex is entered into electronically from the Account of the Expert, who accepts it in their own name and, as legal representative, in the name of the Company, by a separate box that is not pre-ticked and a final validation, on the terms of article 1.4 of the Expert Terms. The acceptance box carries the following declaration: "I accept Annex B in my own name and in the name of the Company I represent. I declare that I hold, directly or indirectly, the majority of its share capital and voting rights. I assign to the Company all the payment claims referred to in article 3.1 and accept this assignment in the name of the Company." dilmind accepts it by the confirmation sent to the Expert on a durable medium; the annex takes effect on the date of that confirmation.
