2. PURPOSE
The purpose of the Terms and Conditions is to define the terms of access and use of the Platform, as well as to define the rights and obligations of Users in connection with the use of the Platform.
The purpose of the Platform is to connect:
- Individuals or Merchants with Co-transporters, in order to carry out Transport on a non-professional and non-commercial basis, except for cost sharing, as part of a journey made on their own account; and
- Individuals or Merchants with Transporters in order to carry out Transport on a professional and commercial basis.
The Terms and Conditions do not govern the contractual relationship formed between Users in respect of a Transport. In its capacity as an online platform operator, Cocolis assumes no obligation or responsibility in respect of contractual relationships formed between Users, Cocolis's role being limited to operating the Platform and creating and maintaining the database it contains.
3. REGISTRATION, ACCEPTANCE AND MODIFICATION OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS
3.1. Registration and Acceptance of the Terms and Conditions
Any natural or legal person wishing to register on the Platform may register through the Site or the Application, either by choosing to provide an email or telephone number and password, or by choosing to connect through a third-party application.
When creating the Account, the prospective User undertakes to read the Terms and Conditions and to accept them by ticking the corresponding box appearing on the Platform at the time of Account creation.
The User guarantees to Cocolis that the natural person responsible for creating the Account is of age, has the power and legal capacity to create the Account on behalf of the User and that the information provided is accurate. In particular, the User undertakes to choose the category of User that is actually applicable to their activity and/or the use they intend to make of the Platform (Merchant, Individual or Transporter).
3.2. Access to Platform functionalities
Creating an Account does not give access to all Platform functionalities. The User understands and accepts that access to all Platform functionalities and their full use is subject to providing the required documents, according to the category of User to which they belong.
In particular, the use of the Platform and receipt of payments as a Transporter is notably subject to providing all documents required by the legal framework applicable to goods transport and anti-money laundering rules, which notably includes the transport licence and goods transport insurance certificate, as well as, for commercial companies, identity document of the manager of the registered legal entity, a Kbis extract less than 3 months old, the company statutes of the Transporter and the declaration of beneficial owners.
Regarding documents required by our payment service provider in the context of anti-money laundering and fraud prevention, the list of documents required by User category is available at this address:
https://docs.mangopay.com/guide/kyc-further-information#france
Each User undertakes to provide the required documents and to keep these documents up to date and their situation in order as long as they use the Platform.
3.3. Evolution and modification of the Terms and Conditions
To improve its operation and quality and due to the constant evolution of the digital sector, Cocolis regularly evolves the characteristics and functionalities of the Platform. Thus, Cocolis is notably likely to add, remove or replace certain functionalities at any time and the Platform is updated regularly automatically.
The User is informed of substantial modifications to the Terms and Conditions within a minimum period of 15 days before the new version of the Terms and Conditions comes into force. This period may vary depending on the extent of the modifications and their substantial nature.
During this period, any User may terminate the Terms and Conditions by any means (for example, by sending an email expressing their wish to no longer use the Platform), subject, for each User, to completing ongoing Transports or honouring any commitment for which the User would have given their agreement before termination.
4. ACCESS, USE AND SECURITY OF THE ACCOUNT
Access and use of the Platform is exclusively reserved for Users who have accepted the Terms and Conditions. Each User understands and accepts that they are responsible for access as well as use of their Account and must make personal use of it.
Except for technical failure attributable to Cocolis or force majeure, each User is responsible for the confidentiality and security of their connection data and payment data.
It is strongly recommended that the User change their password at regular intervals, through their Account, and use a secure password, avoiding easily identifiable combinations. Cocolis may impose an expiry date for the User's password beyond which they will be invited to modify their password.
If they have reason to believe that their connection data (in particular, their username or password) or payment data has been lost, stolen, misappropriated or compromised in any way, or in case of unauthorised use of their Account, the User must immediately notify Cocolis by email at [email protected]. In the absence of such notification, any use of the Account or Platform is deemed to have been made by the User.
In such a situation and/or in the presence of a potential or proven threat to the security or confidentiality of the Account and associated data, particularly payment data, the User authorises Cocolis to take all appropriate measures to prevent any unauthorised access to the Account (for example, reset the password and username, block ongoing and/or subsequent payment operations or suspend access to the Account).
5. PLATFORM OPERATION
5.1. Posting a Listing or Journey
The Poster may post a Listing by providing the information required by the Platform, including information relating to the characteristics of the Good as well as the maximum budget they intend to pay for the Transport. The Poster is free to set the maximum budget of their choice. The Poster undertakes to provide accurate and error-free information (particularly regarding the weight and dimensions of the Good) in order to optimise the operation of the Platform.
Transporters or Co-transporters may post Journeys by providing the information required by the Platform, including their type of vehicle as well as their transport capacity. The Transporter or Co-transporter undertakes to provide accurate and error-free information about the Journey (particularly regarding transport capacity) in order to facilitate the connection enabled by the Platform technology.
Once the Listing is published, the Poster may receive Transport offers from Transporters or Co-transporters and has access to Journeys corresponding to the Listing through their Account. The Poster understands and accepts that Transport offers may appear and come from professionals or non-professionals, which is indicated on the Platform (for example, by affixing the "PRO" symbol on the Transporter's profile).
5.2. Connection
Following the posting of a Listing or Journey, Users may use the Platform functionalities to negotiate and set the conditions of the Transport.
In the case of a prepaid Listing, Co-transporters or Transporters may make Transport proposals including a collection time slot and a delivery time slot.
The proposed collection time slot is communicated to the person designated by the Poster as sender (departure point). The sender has a maximum period, communicated by email, to accept or refuse the time slot. If they do not respond within this period, the time slot is considered refused. The sender is entitled to a maximum of five (5) successive refusals.
If the time slot is accepted, the proposed delivery time slot is then communicated to the recipient, who follows the same acceptance or refusal process, with the same time limit. If the time slot is not accepted or refused within the time limit, it is also considered refused. The recipient also has a maximum of five (5) successive refusals.
This procedure ensures service flexibility whilst avoiding blocking Transporters and Co-transporters for an excessive duration.
In accordance with Consumer Code requirements, the Transporter has relevant functionalities to make their contractual conditions available to the Poster.
In accordance with the legal and tax framework for parcel co-transport, the Co-transporter undertakes to negotiate and set an amount compatible with the notion of cost sharing.
Prices appearing on the Platform (for example, when a budget is set by a Poster or in the negotiation module between Users) are inclusive of all taxes and include Connection fees, details of which appear at the time of payment.
5.3. Booking
Once the Transport conditions have been negotiated between the Poster and the Transporter or Co-transporter or at the time of publishing the Listing in the case of a prepaid Listing, the Poster confirms the Booking by making an online payment.
Payment confirmation obtained from the Poster's bank constitutes confirmation of the Booking and commitment by each User to comply with the conditions freely agreed for the Transport.
5.4. Transport Cancellation
Cancellation attributable to a Transporter or Co-transporter
In case of cancellation attributable to a Transporter or Co-transporter (for example, if the Transporter or Co-transporter cancels a journey or does not show up at the meeting point), the Poster is refunded the total amount paid for the Transport and Connection fees.
In case of repeated cancellations or unjustified cancellations by a Transporter or Co-transporter, Cocolis will apply penalties equal to the Connection fees corresponding to the relevant Booking.
Repeated cancellations or unjustified cancellations by a Transporter or Co-transporter may also result in suspension of access to the platform or termination of the Terms and Conditions under the conditions provided for in articles 10.2 and following.
Cancellation attributable to a Poster
In case of cancellation attributable to a Poster:
- If the cancellation occurs due to the Poster, more than 24 hours before the Transport date as indicated in the Booking or less than 2 hours after the Booking, the Poster is refunded the total amount paid for the Transport. Connection fees remain acquired by Cocolis and the Transporter or Co-transporter receives no amount.
- If the cancellation occurs due to the Poster, less than 24 hours or 24 hours before the Transport date as indicated in the Booking, the Poster is refunded half of the amounts paid for the Transport during the Booking. Connection fees remain acquired by Cocolis and the Transporter or Co-transporter receives 50% of the amounts paid.
- If the Poster cancels after the scheduled Transport date or does not show up at the meeting place within 30 minutes, the Transporter or Co-transporter may be compensated up to the amounts paid for the Transport as part of the Booking and Cocolis will retain the Connection fees.
If the Transport cannot be carried out or causes additional costs due to a non-compliant Listing (for example, if the Good subject to Transport does not correspond to the specifications in the Listing) or particular circumstances (for example, if the Good's packaging is insufficient, if the person handing over the Good does not respond or if the shop holding the Good is closed) Users are invited to contact Cocolis customer service.
In the case of a prepaid Listing, if the number of refusals of time slots by the sender or recipient reaches the limit of five (5) refusals, the Listing is automatically cancelled and deleted. The Poster is then refunded the total amount paid for the Transport. Connection fees paid by the Poster or Partner remain acquired by Cocolis and the Transporter or Co-transporter receives no amount.
5.5. Transport Confirmation
Once the Transport has been carried out, Users use the functionalities offered by the Platform to confirm its proper execution.
The amounts due are then transferred in accordance with the payment terms and financial flow operation specified below.
If a Transport is not confirmed more than 10 (ten) months after the Booking date, it is considered as not carried out. The corresponding Listing is cancelled and deleted and the Poster is refunded the total amount paid for the Transport. Connection fees remain acquired by Cocolis and the Transporter or Co-transporter receives no amount.
5.6. Main parameters determining the ranking of Listings and Journeys
Listings and Journeys are published and ranked in chronological order, from most recent (at the top) to least recent.

The rights thus granted include the right to reproduce, represent, extract, reuse, disseminate, exploit, adapt, modify, create a derivative work, translate all or part of the User's content by all processes, in any form whatsoever and on all media (including digital, such as on the Internet or in the context of API use and on physical media, such as commercial documents, etc.) known or unknown to date, in the context of Platform use or in relation to Cocolis's activity, and this for commercial or non-commercial purposes and notably advertising, as well as in the context of dissemination on social networks on which Cocolis is present and notably Cocolis's Facebook, Instagram and Twitter pages.
In particular, photographs and Listing content may be reproduced and integrated into advertising formats disseminated on the Site and Application. The User thus grants their consent to the reproduction of content they publish on social networks, notably Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
Under this licence and having regard to Cocolis's rights in this context, Cocolis may oppose, without this creating an obligation to act on its part, the reproduction and exploitation by unauthorised third parties of content published on the Platform.

16.1. Assignment of Terms and Conditions
Users authorise Cocolis to assign all its rights and obligations under its contractual relationships with Users to any third party and without their prior agreement.
In particular, in case of merger by creation of a new company, contribution, merger-absorption, division or any change of control affecting Cocolis, contractual relationships will continue without it being necessary for Cocolis to inform or obtain User consent.
16.2. Non-waiver
The fact that Users or Cocolis do not require application of a Terms and Conditions provision, whether permanently or temporarily, is not considered as waiver of rights arising from this provision.
16.3. Entirety
The Terms and Conditions provisions express the entirety of the agreement between Users and Cocolis. They prevail over any proposal, exchange of prior and subsequent letters to conclusion of the present and over any other provision exchanged between the parties relating to the object.

16.4. Nullity
In the event that one of the Terms and Conditions clauses is declared null or void by a change in legislation, regulation or by court decision, this shall under no circumstances affect the validity of other clauses and compliance with the Terms and Conditions, unless the clause declared null or void has an essential character, modifies the interdependence of certain provisions or modifies the general economy of the Terms and Conditions.
Where applicable, the contentious clause will be deleted and replaced by a lawful clause.
17. DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND MEDIATION FOR NON-PROFESSIONAL USERS
