Conditions of sale
The subscription itself: what it costs, when it renews, how it is cancelled, and what happens to the plugin if you stop paying.
Version 3, in force since 27 September 2026. These conditions are drafted in French and the French text is the one that governs; the English below is a translation for information. They apply to every Pro Plugin order placed from that date.
Version 3 (27 September 2026).
Article 1 – Publisher
These terms of sale are offered by MarcoPlot, a société par actions simplifiée unipersonnelle (single-shareholder simplified joint-stock company) with a share capital of EUR 1, registered with the Nancy Trade and Companies Register (R.C.S. Nancy) under number 102 825 239, having its registered office at 25 avenue du Vingtième Corps, 54000 Nancy, France, intra-EU VAT number FR15102825239 (the “Publisher”). The Publisher's contact details are given in the legal notice of the marcoplot.com website.
Article 2 – Scope
2.1. These terms govern the subscription to the Pro Plugin and the Services the Publisher provides under it, as defined in the MarcoPlot terms of use (the “Terms of Use”). Capitalised terms have the meaning given to them in the Terms of Use. They do not govern the checkout, payment, tax or invoicing of the order, which are handled by Stripe/Link as described in Articles 3, 5 and 6.
2.2. These terms are published on the marcoplot.com website and shown to the User before any order. They can be saved and printed. The version accepted is the one in force on the date of the order. The Publisher keeps every version and sends the accepted one to the User on request.
2.3. These terms and the Terms of Use apply together. For the price, duration, renewal and cancellation of the subscription, these terms prevail.
2.4. In accordance with article 1119 of the French Civil Code, where these terms conflict with the User's own general terms, the incompatible clauses have no effect.
Article 3 – Persons to whom the subscription is offered
3.1. The Services described in Article 4 are offered by the Publisher to persons acting for purposes within their trade, business, craft or profession. By ordering, the User represents that it is acting in that capacity.
3.2. The order is placed and paid for through Stripe Checkout under Stripe's Managed Payments programme. For that transaction, Link, a Stripe affiliate, is the merchant of record and the seller to the User; the checkout page shows the order as “Sold through Link”. The User accepts Link's own terms of service and privacy policy when checking out. Any right the User may have as a consumer in connection with that payment, including a right of withdrawal, is a matter for Link's terms, not for these terms of sale. Link's terms are published at link.com/terms and stripe.com/legal/link.
Article 4 – What the subscription includes
4.1. During the subscription, the User receives: a licence key for one website; the updates to the Pro Plugin the Publisher publishes during the subscription; and support; as described in the Terms of Use.
4.2. The Pro Plugin is distributed under the GPL. The subscription does not restrict any right granted by the GPL.
Article 5 – Ordering
5.1. Ordering follows these steps:
a) choosing an offer on the marcoplot.com website;
b) accepting these terms and the Terms of Use by ticking the box provided, which links to the Terms of Use; the Terms of Use refer to these terms and link to them;
c) proceeding to Stripe Checkout, where the User reviews the order summary (offer, price excluding tax, tax, total price), can correct any input error, enters billing details, accepts Link's own terms of service and privacy policy, and pays;
5.2. The contract for the Services is concluded when payment is confirmed. Stripe/Link sends a receipt and, where applicable, a tax invoice, without delay, to the email address given when ordering.
5.3. The licence key is made available on the order confirmation page.
5.4. The Publisher keeps the order and the accepted version of these terms, and sends them to the User on request. The invoice and receipt for the payment are issued and kept by Stripe/Link; the User can also find them in the User's Link account.
Article 6 – Price and tax
6.1. The subscription price is the price shown on the marcoplot.com website when ordering, in US dollars, excluding tax.
6.2. The tax applicable to the order is calculated, collected, invoiced to the User and remitted to the competent tax authorities by Stripe/Link, as merchant of record, under Stripe's Managed Payments tax compliance policy (see docs.stripe.com/payments/managed-payments/tax-compliance). The Publisher takes no part in this and issues no invoice for the price or the tax.
Article 7 – Payment
7.1. The price, plus applicable tax, is payable in advance, through Stripe Checkout: on ordering for the first period, then on each renewal date under Article 8. Stripe/Link charges the payment method the User provides or has saved with Link, under Link's own terms. The Publisher does not hold the User's payment details and does not itself charge the User.
7.2. If a renewal payment fails, Stripe/Link makes further charge attempts and informs the User, under Link's own terms.
Article 8 – Duration and renewal
8.1. The subscription is concluded for a fixed term of one year from the conclusion of the contract.
8.2. At the end of the term, the subscription is renewed for a new fixed term of one year, on the terms of sale in force on the renewal date, unless the User cancels before that date under Article 9. The same applies at each later renewal date.
8.3. Any change to the price or to these terms that applies at renewal is notified to the User by email at least thirty days before the renewal date. A User who does not accept the change cancels the subscription before that date; otherwise the change applies from the renewal.
8.4. By way of exception to Articles 8.2 and 8.3, where the subscription was taken out under the founding offer — the first 100 subscriptions to that Pro Plugin, at the founding price shown on the marcoplot.com website when ordering — the founding price applies at each renewal and is not affected by a change to the standard price, for as long as the subscription is renewed without interruption. If the subscription ends for any reason, a new subscription is concluded at the price in force on the date of the new order. Changes to these terms other than the price remain governed by Article 8.3.
Article 9 – Cancellation by the User
9.1. The User may cancel the subscription at any time by writing to [email protected]. Where Stripe/Link offers the User its own self-service cancellation from the User's Link account, the User may use it instead of, or in addition to, writing to the Publisher.
9.2. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the period already paid for. No further charge is made for a later period. The Services continue until the end of that period, subject to Article 11.
9.3. As the subscription is for a fixed term, cancellation by the User does not give rise to a refund of the period already paid for, in whole or in part; refunds are governed by Article 10.
Article 10 – Refunds and disputes
10.1. Refunds of amounts paid, and any dispute or chargeback relating to payment, are handled by Stripe/Link under their own policies. The User can request a refund from Link's support (support.link.com/topics/sold-through-link); see also docs.stripe.com/refunds.
10.2. Independently of Article 10.1, the Publisher can itself decide, on request, to have a given order refunded.
Article 11 – End of the subscription
When the subscription is not renewed, whether following cancellation under Article 9, a refund under Article 10, a failed renewal payment, or any other reason:
a) the Services stop at the end of the period paid for;
b) the features of the Pro Plugin that require a valid licence key remain available for a grace period of seven days after that date, then are automatically disabled;
c) the settings and data recorded through the Pro Plugin are kept; if the subscription is later renewed, they are restored;
d) existing bookings remain viewable;
e) the Free Plugin is not affected;
f) the rights granted by the GPL over copies of the Software already received are not affected.
Article 12 – Breach by the User
If the User seriously breaches these terms or the Terms of Use, including by ordering as a consumer or by payment fraud, the Publisher may, fifteen days after a formal notice referring to this Article has gone unheeded, automatically terminate the contract for the Services, without prejudice to its other rights under article 1217 of the French Civil Code.
Article 13 – Liability
The Publisher's liability in connection with the subscription is governed by Articles 9 to 12 of the Terms of Use.
Article 14 – Force majeure
Neither party is liable for a failure caused by force majeure within the meaning of article 1218 of the French Civil Code. If the impediment is temporary, performance of the obligation is suspended, unless the resulting delay justifies terminating the contract. If the impediment is permanent, the contract is automatically terminated and the parties are released from their obligations as provided in article 1218 of the French Civil Code.
Article 15 – Personal data
Data given when ordering is processed by Stripe/Link, as merchant of record, to perform the payment, calculate and collect tax, issue the invoice and receipt, and provide support for the transaction, under Link's own privacy policy. The Publisher processes the data described in its privacy policy, published on the marcoplot.com website, to provide the Services, to keep the record described in Article 5.4, and to meet its own legal obligations.
Article 16 – Evidence
The electronic records of the Publisher and of Stripe/Link relating to the order, acceptance of these terms and payments are evidence between the parties unless proven otherwise.
Article 17 – Severability
If any provision of these terms is deemed unwritten or held invalid, the remaining provisions continue to apply.
Article 18 – Changes to these terms
A new version of these terms applies to orders placed after its publication, and to current subscriptions from their next renewal under Article 8.3.
Article 19 – Language
These terms are drafted in French. Translations are provided for information; in case of discrepancy, the French version prevails.
Article 20 – Governing law and jurisdiction
20.1. These terms, and the Publisher's own obligations under them, are governed by French law. They do not govern the User's payment contract with Link, which is governed by Link's own terms referred to in Article 3.2.
20.2. WHERE THE USER HAS CONTRACTED AS A MERCHANT (COMMERÇANT), ANY DISPUTE RELATING TO THESE TERMS FALLS WITHIN THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF NANCY.
