Effective Date: June 12, 2026

These Terms of Service (these “Terms”) are entered into between you (“Customer”) and Graphical Playground, a student project association co-founded by five EPITECH students (“GP” or “Graphical Playground”), and govern access to and use of websites owned or operated by GP (“Websites”), and GP offerings provided under Starter and Professional plans (the “GP Platform”) (Websites, the GP Platform, and GP’s published documentation found at docs.graphical-playground.com (the “Documentation”) are collectively referred to as the “Services”).

By indicating your acceptance of these Terms or by using the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you are accessing or using the Services on behalf of an entity (such as your employer), then you agree to these Terms on behalf of yourself and that entity, you represent that you are authorized to accept these Terms on behalf of that entity, and all references to “Customer” reference that entity. If you do not have the authority to bind such entity or do not agree with these Terms, you (and the entity) are not authorized to access or use the GP Platform.

1. GP Obligations

1.1. Access to the Services. Subject to the terms and conditions of these Terms, GP hereby grants Customer a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable right for Customer (and, where applicable, Authorized Users) to access and use the Services for Customer’s internal, educational, or personal purposes, depending on Customer’s account type. If Customer has a free account, Customer may use the Services for educational or personal purposes. Paid accounts unlock additional features such as cloud computing resources and certificates of course completion. “Authorized User” means employees, contractors, students, and other persons associated with Customer who access or use the GP Platform through your account.

1.2. Data Protection. GP implements and maintains physical, technical, and administrative security measures designed to protect the applications and materials that Customer (or Customer’s Authorized Users) develop on or upload to the Services (“Customer Content”) from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure.

GP processes personal data in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (the “GDPR”) and, where applicable, French data protection law (Loi n° 78-17 du 6 janvier 1978, as amended, the “Loi Informatique et Libertés”). GP acts as data controller for account data and as data processor for Customer Content processed on behalf of Customer, in accordance with the data processing addendum available at graphical-playground.com/legal/data-processing, which is incorporated into these Terms. Any categories of personal data or processing operations not set out in that addendum will be processed and protected in accordance with GP’s Privacy Policy found at graphical-playground.com/legal/privacy.

Under the GDPR, you have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict, and object to the processing of your personal data, as well as the right to data portability. You may exercise these rights by contacting GP at privacy@graphical-playground.com. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the French supervisory authority, the Commission Nationale de l’Informatique et des Libertés (CNIL), at www.cnil.fr.

1.3. Infrastructure and Third-Party Hosting. The GP Platform is hosted using infrastructure provided by third-party service providers, including but not limited to Cloudflare, IONOS, Vercel, Supabase, and Clerk (collectively, “Infrastructure Providers”). Customer Content and account data may be processed and stored on servers operated by these providers, which may be located outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”). Where such transfers occur, GP ensures appropriate safeguards are in place in accordance with applicable data protection law, including the use of Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission. A current list of Infrastructure Providers and sub-processors is available at graphical-playground.com/legal/subprocessors.

1.4. Non-GP Resources. Applications and materials developed or provided by a party other than GP, including design files, plugins, component libraries, services, products, platforms, integrations, and code components (collectively, “Non-GP Resources”) are not part of the Services. Non-GP Resources that are shared on GP Community are subject to the Product-Specific Terms applicable to GP Community.

2. Service Terms

2.1. Who May Use the Services. Customer may use the Services only if Customer is of legal age to enter into a binding contract under the laws of their country of residence. In France, this means being at least 18 years of age, or at least 15 years of age with verifiable parental or guardian consent for the processing of personal data pursuant to Article 8 of the GDPR and Article 7-1 of the Loi Informatique et Libertés.

2.2. Use Restrictions. Except as otherwise expressly authorized in these Terms, Customer will not, and will not encourage or assist third parties to: (i) reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to discover the source code, object code, or underlying structure, ideas, know-how, or algorithms relevant to the proprietary components of the Services (except to the extent that such restriction is impermissible under applicable law, including Article L. 122-6-1 of the French Intellectual Property Code regarding software interoperability); (ii) provide, sell, resell, transfer, sublicense, lend, distribute, rent, or otherwise allow others to access or use the Services; (iii) copy, modify, create derivative works of, or remove proprietary notices from the proprietary components of the Services; or (iv) use the Services in violation of applicable export control or sanctions laws.

For the avoidance of doubt, the GP engine and educational platform contain open-source components licensed under their respective open-source licenses. Nothing in these Terms restricts Customer’s rights under such open-source licenses with respect to those components.

2.3. Acceptable Use Policy. Customer will comply with GP’s Acceptable Use Policy available at graphical-playground.com/legal/acceptable-use.

2.4. Account Management.

(a) As part of the registration process, Customer will appoint one or more administrative users for Customer’s GP account. Each administrative user has the capacity, and Customer hereby confirms they have the authority, to manage Customer’s GP account, add or remove users, approve purchases, and take binding action relating to the Services and these Terms on Customer’s behalf.

(b) Each Authorized User’s account is personal to the individual to whom it is issued. Account credentials may not be shared or used by anyone other than the individual to whom they were provisioned. Customer will ensure that its Authorized Users comply with these Terms. Customer is responsible for all activities of its Authorized Users and for any failure on their part to comply with these Terms.

(c) Customer will provide accurate and complete account information and maintain the accuracy and completeness of such information. Customer will maintain control over Authorized Users’ accounts, including the confidentiality of usernames and passwords. GP supports login using two-factor authentication (“2FA”), which is known to reduce the risk of unauthorized access. GP will not be responsible for damages, losses, or liability that would have been prevented by the use of 2FA.

2.5. Customer Content. Customer authorizes GP and its service providers to use Customer Content for the sole purpose of providing the Services and performing activities contemplated by these Terms (such as maintaining, securing, debugging, and otherwise performing quality control for the Services). GP does not use Customer Content to train machine learning models.

2.6. Feedback. Customer may voluntarily provide GP with feedback, comments, or suggestions concerning the Services (collectively, “Feedback”). To the extent Customer provides Feedback, Customer hereby grants GP the right to use such Feedback to maintain, improve, and enhance GP’s products and services.

2.7. Usage Data. GP will have the right to collect and analyze data and other information relating to the access, use, and performance of the Services (“Usage Data”) and GP will be free (during and after the Term) to use Usage Data in de-identified and aggregated form to maintain, improve, and enhance GP’s products and services. Examples of Usage Data include technical logs, metadata, telemetry data, and anonymized usage information. Usage Data excludes Customer Content itself and will not be processed in a manner that identifies an individual unless permitted under applicable data protection law.

2.8. Reservation of Rights. As between Customer and GP, Customer retains all right, title, and interest in Customer Content, and GP owns or holds all right, title, and interest in the proprietary elements of the Services. Open-source components of the Services remain subject to their respective open-source licenses. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms, each party retains all right, title, and interest in and to its intellectual property rights. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

3. Billing

3.1. Subscription Fees. The GP Platform is offered under different pricing plans, the details of which are available at graphical-playground.com/pricing. Paid subscriptions unlock additional features including cloud computing resources and certificates of course completion. If you subscribe to a GP Professional plan, you may choose either a monthly or annual subscription. Your subscription will automatically renew on the applicable basis at the then-current rate and seat quantity unless cancelled. Each individual monthly or annual period is referred to as a “subscription term.” Subscription fees for the applicable subscription term are due and payable in advance in full, unless stated otherwise at the time of purchase.

Seats added mid-subscription term will be charged from the date of approval, prorated at a daily rate until the end of your subscription term, and added to your next invoice.

3.2. Renewals. YOUR SUBSCRIPTION WILL AUTOMATICALLY RENEW ON A MONTHLY OR ANNUAL BASIS AS APPLICABLE, AT THE THEN-CURRENT RATE AND SEAT QUANTITY, UNLESS YOU CANCEL IT BEFORE THE END OF THE THEN-CURRENT SUBSCRIPTION TERM.

3.3. Cancellation. You may elect not to renew a subscription by giving notice of cancellation to GP before the end of the current subscription term through your GP account settings. Any cancellation will take effect at the end of the then-current subscription term.

In addition to the foregoing, if you are a consumer resident in the European Union or France, you have the right to withdraw from a distance contract within 14 days of its conclusion without giving any reason, in accordance with Articles L. 221-18 et seq. of the French Consumer Code (Code de la consommation). To exercise this right, you must notify GP at legal@graphical-playground.com before the expiry of the withdrawal period. Please note that for digital content or services that have begun to be performed with your prior express consent and acknowledgment that you thereby lose your right of withdrawal, this right may not apply.

3.4. Authorization for Automatically Recurring Payments. When you purchase a subscription, you expressly authorize GP (via its third-party payment processor) to charge the payment method you provide for the initial payment, subscription renewals, and any other purchases you make within the GP Platform. You represent and warrant that you have the legal right to use the payment method provided. You are solely responsible for any bank fees, interest charges, or other fees arising from charges billed by GP. In the event of non-payment, GP may terminate or suspend your access to the Services.

3.5. Credits & Refunds. Unless otherwise specified in these Terms or required by applicable law, fees paid are non-refundable and quantities purchased cannot be decreased during the relevant subscription term. Any credits provided by GP expire after 1 year, unless otherwise specified by GP at the time of issuance. Nothing in this section limits any statutory refund rights you may have under French consumer law or EU consumer protection regulations.

3.6. Changes to Pricing. GP reserves the right to change its fees at any time. Changes to pricing that apply to an existing recurring subscription will take effect at the next order or renewal, and GP will provide reasonable advance notice (at least 30 days for material changes affecting consumers) via email or through the GP Platform. If Customer objects to a pricing change during a then-current subscription term, Customer may terminate the affected subscription within 30 days of the modification notice, and GP will refund any pre-paid fees for the terminated portion of the applicable subscription term.

3.7. Taxes. Subscription fees displayed exclusive of taxes may be subject to applicable VAT (Taxe sur la valeur ajoutée) or other indirect taxes in accordance with French and EU tax law. Where GP is required to collect VAT, it will be added to the applicable fees and shown at checkout. Each party is responsible for its own income taxes and other taxes imposed on it by applicable law.

4. Confidentiality

4.1. Confidential Information. GP (the “Discloser”) has disclosed or may disclose proprietary or non-public business, technical, financial, or other information (“Confidential Information”) to you (the “Recipient”). GP’s Confidential Information expressly includes non-public information regarding features, functionality, and performance of the Services, including security-related information.

4.2. Obligations. The Recipient will use the Discloser’s Confidential Information only for the purpose of evaluating whether to use (or continue to use) the Services. The Recipient will not disclose the Discloser’s Confidential Information to parties other than its employees, contractors, affiliates, agents, or professional advisors (“Representatives”) who need to know it and who are subject to no less restrictive confidentiality obligations than those herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Recipient may disclose Confidential Information: (a) if directed by the Discloser; or (b) to the extent required by applicable legal process, provided that the Recipient uses commercially reasonable efforts to (i) promptly notify the Discloser in advance, to the extent permitted by law, and (ii) comply with the Discloser’s reasonable requests regarding its efforts to oppose the disclosure.

5. Warranties and Disclaimers

5.1. Mutual Warranties. Each party represents and warrants to the other that: (a) the performance of these Terms does not violate the terms or conditions of any other agreement to which it is a party; and (b) it will perform its rights and obligations under these Terms in accordance with applicable law.

5.2. GP Warranties. GP represents and warrants to you during the applicable subscription term that: (a) GP will provide access to the GP Platform and any applicable support services in substantive conformity with the Documentation; and (b) GP will employ applicable industry-standard measures to protect the GP Platform against software viruses, trojans, worms, or other similar malicious programs or code.

5.3. Disclaimer. EXCEPT FOR THE EXPRESS REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES STATED IN THIS SECTION 5, GP PROVIDES THE SERVICES “AS IS” AND MAKES NO FURTHER REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED (INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, QUALITY, ACCURACY, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT), TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

NON-GP RESOURCES ARE PROVIDED BY THIRD PARTIES, NOT GP. ANY USE OF NON-GP RESOURCES IS SOLELY BETWEEN CUSTOMER AND THE APPLICABLE THIRD-PARTY PROVIDER. GP DOES NOT WARRANT OR SUPPORT, AND WILL NOT HAVE ANY RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY FOR, NON-GP RESOURCES.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any statutory rights you may have as a consumer under French or EU consumer protection law that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

6. Indemnity

6.1. You will indemnify, hold harmless, and, at GP’s option, defend GP from any third-party claims, disputes, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, and costs and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, arising out of or related to: (a) your Customer Content; or (b) your violation of these Terms.

7. Limitations of Liability

7.1. LIMITATION OF INDIRECT LIABILITY. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, AND UNDER NO LEGAL THEORY (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, WARRANTY, OR OTHERWISE), WILL GP, ITS FOUNDERS, CONTRIBUTORS, CONTRACTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OR THIRD-PARTY PARTNERS, LICENSORS, OR SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES (INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR USE, OR COST OF COVER) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICES, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

7.2. LIMITATION ON AMOUNT OF LIABILITY. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE TOTAL LIABILITY OF GP AND ITS REPRESENTATIVES FOR ANY AND ALL DAMAGES AND CAUSES OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICES WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF: (a) €100; OR (b) THE SUBSCRIPTION FEES PAID BY YOU TO GP IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO SUCH LIABILITY.

7.3. Consumer Rights. NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 7 LIMITS OR EXCLUDES ANY LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE LAWFULLY EXCLUDED OR LIMITED UNDER APPLICABLE FRENCH OR EU CONSUMER PROTECTION LAW, INCLUDING LIABILITY FOR DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY CAUSED BY NEGLIGENCE, FRAUD OR FRAUDULENT MISREPRESENTATION, OR ANY LIABILITY THAT ARISES UNDER MANDATORY CONSUMER PROTECTION PROVISIONS.

8. Term and Termination

8.1. Term. These Terms take effect the first time you access the Services and continue in full force and effect until: (a) if you are a paid subscriber, the termination, discontinuation, or cancellation of your subscription; or (b) if you are using a free GP offering, when your account is deleted or terminated. For visitors without an account, these Terms apply for any period of access to the applicable Services.

8.2. Termination.

(a) GP may terminate your access to and use of the Services at GP’s sole discretion, at any time. If GP cancels your subscription and the termination is not due to your breach of these Terms, GP will provide a pro rata refund of pre-paid unused fees.

(b) Upon any termination, discontinuation, or cancellation of Services or your GP account, the following provisions will survive: Sections 2 (Service Terms), 3 (Billing, to the extent any fees remain outstanding), 4 (Confidentiality), 5 (Warranties and Disclaimers), 6 (Indemnity), 7 (Limitations of Liability), 8.2(b), and 9 (Miscellaneous). Upon termination, GP will make all Customer Content then held by GP available to you for electronic retrieval for a period of 30 days, after which GP may delete stored Customer Content in accordance with its data retention policy and applicable law, including GDPR obligations.

9. Miscellaneous

9.1. Changes to these Terms. GP may modify these Terms at any time. GP will post the most current version at graphical-playground.com/legal/terms-of-service and will endeavor to provide reasonable advance notice of any material change via the GP Platform, on GP’s website, and/or by email to the address associated with your account. For consumers, where required by applicable law, GP will provide at least 30 days’ notice of material changes. By continuing to use the Services after revised Terms become effective, you agree to be bound by the updated Terms.

9.2. Changes to the Services. GP may, in its sole discretion, add, change, or remove features or functionality of the Services; modify or introduce limitations to storage or other features; or discontinue the Services altogether. If you are on a paid subscription and GP discontinues the Services you are using during your subscription term, GP will (a) migrate or make available to you a substantially similar service (if commercially reasonable to do so), or (b) if not, provide a pro-rata refund of fees prepaid for the remaining period of your subscription.

9.3. Product-Specific Terms. Certain GP offerings are subject to Product-Specific Terms (such as optional beta features, free trials, APIs, and certificate programs). Product-Specific Terms are incorporated into these Terms by reference and available at graphical-playground.com/product-specific-terms.

9.4. Force Majeure. GP will not be liable for, or be considered to be in breach of or default under these Terms on account of, any delay or failure to perform as required by these Terms as a result of any cause or condition beyond its reasonable control, so long as it uses commercially reasonable efforts to avoid or remove those causes of non-performance.

9.5. Notices. Any notices or communications provided by GP under these Terms will be given through the GP Platform, on GP’s website, and/or by email to the address associated with your account. Notices to GP may be sent to:

9.6. Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of these Terms will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision. In such case, the parties agree that these Terms will be deemed amended by modifying the affected provision to the minimum extent necessary to render it valid and enforceable while preserving its intent, or if not possible, by substituting another provision that is legal and enforceable and achieves the same objective.

9.7. Assignment. These Terms (and your access to any of the Services) are not assignable or transferable by you without GP’s prior written consent. Any purported assignment in violation of this section is null and void. GP may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets, provided that the assignee assumes all obligations herein.

9.8. Service Providers and Sub-processors. GP may engage third-party service providers, including the Infrastructure Providers listed in Section 1.3, to support its performance of these Terms.

9.9. No Partnership. No agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment is created as a result of these Terms, and neither party has any authority to bind the other party in any respect whatsoever.

9.10. Governing Law. These Terms and all claims arising out of or relating to them will be governed by the laws of France, without regard to its conflict of laws provisions. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is specifically disclaimed.

9.11. Dispute Resolution. In the event of a dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services, the parties agree to first attempt to resolve the dispute amicably. If you are a consumer, you also have the right to use a European online dispute resolution platform available at https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr, as well as the right to refer your dispute to a certified mediator in accordance with Articles L. 611-1 et seq. of the French Consumer Code.

If the dispute cannot be resolved amicably or through mediation, the sole jurisdiction and venue for any claims will be the competent courts of Lyon, France, unless mandatory consumer protection law grants you the right to bring proceedings before the courts of your place of residence.

For business customers (non-consumers), any dispute that cannot be resolved amicably within 60 days of written notice will be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Commercial Court of Lyon (Tribunal de commerce de Lyon).

9.12. Export Control. The GP Platform is subject to applicable export control and sanctions laws and regulations, including, where applicable, French, EU, and US export regulations. You represent that you are not subject to any applicable sanctions list or restriction that would prohibit your use of the Services. You will not use, export, or re-export the GP Platform or Customer Content in violation of applicable export control laws.

9.13. Anti-Corruption. Neither party has received or been offered any illegal or improper bribe, kickback, payment, gift, or thing of value from an employee or agent of the other party in connection with these Terms. Reasonable gifts and entertainment provided in the ordinary course of business do not violate the above restriction.

9.14. Open Source. The Graphical Playground engine and certain platform components are made available as open-source software. Where applicable, such components are licensed under their respective open-source licenses, which take precedence over these Terms with respect to those components. Nothing in these Terms modifies or restricts rights granted under any open-source license applicable to open-source components of the Services.

9.15. Trademark Guidelines. GP’s Trademark Guidelines apply to any use of words, logos, graphics, designs, and other indicators that identify GP as the source of a product or service (“GP’s Marks”). You may use GP’s Marks only as set forth in GP’s Trademark Guidelines available at graphical-playground.com/brand-guidelines.

9.16. Interpretation. Whenever the words “including,” “include,” “includes,” or “such as” are used in these Terms, they will be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation.” Section headings are for convenience only and will not affect the interpretation of these Terms.

9.17. Entire Agreement. These Terms supersede all other agreements between the parties relating to their subject matter. In the event of any conflict among any online orders, any Product-Specific Terms, and these Terms, the order of precedence will be: (a) the Product-Specific Terms; (b) these Terms; and (c) the orders (from newest to oldest), unless such order expressly overrides the foregoing terms.
