PREAMBLE AND LEGAL NOTICE
These Terms and Conditions of Use and Sale, hereinafter referred to as the “TCU/TCS,” govern access to, use of, and commercial transactions carried out on the website zeroeffortpeak.com, hereinafter referred to as the “Site.”
The Site is published by Holding Euthenia, a simplified joint-stock company (SAS) registered with the Lyon Trade and Companies Register (RCS), whose registered office is located in Lyon, France, represented by its President, Ms. Bénédicte SATRE, hereinafter referred to as the “Company.”
Use of the Site and subscription to the Services, as defined below, imply the user’s express, full, and unconditional acceptance of these TCU/TCS.
SECTION 1 – DEFINITIONS
“User”: Any natural or legal person browsing the Site, whether as a simple visitor, Free Member, or Premium Pro Member.
“Member” or “Account Holder”: Any User who has created an account on the Site.
“Site Listing”: A directory page listing public and/or Artificial Intelligence (AI)-generated information concerning a third-party website.
“Legitimate Owner”: The User who has successfully validated ownership of a website linked to a Site Listing according to the claim procedure defined in Section 3.2.
“Premium Pro Subscription”: The paid service providing access to exclusive features and benefits on the Site.
“Referrer”: A Member who sends their affiliate discount coupon to a third party.
“Referred User”: A new User who registers and subscribes to the Premium Pro Subscription using a Referrer’s coupon.
SECTION 2 – PURPOSE AND SERVICES OF THE SITE
The Site offers an automated website directory service and an affiliate program. Its features include:
Automated listing of websites through descriptions generated by Artificial Intelligence (AI).
A property claim tool (“Claim”) allowing Legitimate Owners to modify their information free of charge and add a hyperlink (“Backlink”).
A paid annual subscription (“Premium Pro”) providing access to a private area listing third-party affiliate opportunities.
A one-level referral and affiliate program.
SECTION 3 – SPECIFIC CLAUSES RELATING TO SITE LISTINGS AND AI CONTENT
3.1 Full Disclaimer of Liability Regarding AI-Generated Content
The Site uses Artificial Intelligence technologies to collect, summarize, and automatically generate descriptions of third-party websites in order to build its directory. The User expressly acknowledges and accepts that:
The content is generated in a purely automated manner and is provided “as is,” without any guarantee of truthfulness, accuracy, completeness, updating, or relevance.
The Company shall not be held liable for errors, omissions, outdated data, misleading, inappropriate, or potentially defamatory content generated by AI on a Site Listing.
The presence of an unclaimed Site Listing shall under no circumstances constitute endorsement, partnership, or sponsorship by the Company in relation to the third-party website concerned.
3.2 Strict Site Claim Procedure (“Claim”)
To take control of a Site Listing, the User must prove that they are the Legitimate Owner.
Technical method: Verification is carried out exclusively through the automated deployment of a text-format record (TXT field) within the DNS (Domain Name System) configurations of the domain concerned.
Automation: Once the DNS TXT field has been deployed by the User, the Site’s system carries out an automated technical verification. If the token matches, management of the Site Listing is transferred to the Member.
Security and Fraud: The User is solely responsible for the technical configurations of their domain. The Company disclaims all liability in the event of a security breach on the User’s DNS servers that allows a fraudulent claim by a third party.
3.3 Removal Notice (“Take Down Policy”)
In accordance with regulations on hosting provider liability, any request for deletion, correction, or reporting of unlawful or erroneous content on a Site Listing must be made through the Site’s official Contact Form.
For compelling security reasons and in order to prevent any malicious attempt to delete or sabotage the listing of a competing website, the Site will only process requests for major modification or deletion once the site has first been successfully claimed using the DNS TXT procedure described in Section 3.2.
However, in the event of manifestly unlawful content, such as a criminal offense or a blatant copyright violation, the Company will remove the content as soon as possible after receiving a reasoned and documented notice via the contact form, subject to verification of the notifier’s identity.
SECTION 4 – MODERATION AND CLASSIFICATION OF MODIFIED CONTENT
4.1 No Prior Moderation
Once control of a Site Listing has been obtained, the Legitimate Owner is free to modify the description texts and add a backlink. The Company carries out no prior moderation, meaning no validation or human review before publication. Modifications are published instantly under the Member’s sole responsibility.
4.2 After-the-Fact Moderation and Reporting
The Site applies an after-the-fact moderation system. Any internet user may report inappropriate, unlawful, or non-compliant content under these terms. The Company reserves the right, at its discretion and without prior notice, to suspend, modify, or delete any Site Listing that is the subject of a justified report.
4.3 Classification of Sensitive or Restricted Content (“NSFW”)
Sites offering legal but sensitive content, including, without limitation, adult content, gambling, cryptocurrency platforms, and digital assets, must be claimed by their Legitimate Owner.
The Site has a technical warning and restriction mechanism, using an activation button similar to the “NSFW” / Not Safe For Work mechanism.
Activation of this option results in the automatic and complete blurring of the Site Listing page.
Visual and textual access to such content is strictly reserved for logged-in Members who have formally certified and declared that they are aged 18 or over.
SECTION 5 – FREEMIUM MODEL AND FINANCIAL TERMS — PREMIUM PRO SUBSCRIPTION
5.1 Price and Billing
Basic access to the Site and site claims are free of charge. Subscription to the Premium Pro Subscription is billed at a rate of USD 25 per year. Payments, storage of banking data, and billing management are fully delegated to and secured by the third-party platform Stripe.
5.2 Tacit Renewal and Termination
Tacit renewal: The Premium Pro Subscription is entered into for an initial period of one (1) year and renews automatically and tacitly for successive one-year periods on the anniversary date, at the rate then in force.
Termination: The Member may cancel and terminate their subscription at any time from their customer area or through the Stripe interface made available to them. Termination will take effect at the end of the current annual billing period. No pro rata refund will be made for the remaining period.
5.3 Legal Right of Withdrawal (B2C)
In accordance with European legislation and the French Consumer Code:
A User acting as a consumer (B2C) has a period of fourteen (14) calendar days from the date of subscription to the Premium Pro Subscription to exercise their right of withdrawal, without having to provide reasons or pay penalties.
To exercise this right, the consumer must send an unambiguous statement via the Site’s Contact Form before the expiry of the period. Stripe will issue a full refund within a maximum period of 14 days.
Professionals (B2B): Users subscribing to the service in the context of their professional, commercial, craft, or liberal activity do not benefit from any right of withdrawal, in accordance with French law.
SECTION 6 – DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY REGARDING THIRD-PARTY OFFERS — PREMIUM AREA
The Premium Pro Subscription provides access to a private area listing opportunities, offers, or affiliate programs proposed by third-party partners, for example 10% commissions on third-party services.
The Company acts solely as a technical intermediary for connection and as a publisher of partner advertisements.
The Company is not a party to any contracts, transactions, or commercial relationships entered into between the Premium Member and third-party advertisers.
Consequently, the Company disclaims all liability and may not be held responsible in the event of non-payment of commissions by a third-party partner, contractual dispute, fraud, bankruptcy, judicial liquidation, or technical malfunction of third-party platforms.
SECTION 7 – ZEROEFFORTPEAK AFFILIATE PROGRAM
The Site offers a simple affiliate program, with only one level of direct remuneration, intended to promote the Premium Pro Subscription. The technical management and payments of this program are interfaced with the Stripe platform.
7.1 Operation of the Referral Program
The Referrer has a unique discount coupon worth USD 10 to offer to third parties.
The Referred User receives an immediate USD 10 discount on their first annual Premium Pro subscription by using this coupon.
If and only if the Referred User validates their payment and their Premium Pro Subscription becomes active, the Referrer receives a cash commission of USD 10, paid into their Stripe account.
7.2 Progression Scale and Benefits
The program includes a linear progression scale based exclusively on the cumulative volume of direct and active Referred Users sponsored by the same Referrer, with tiers ranging from 10 to 1,000 Referred Users. Reaching these tiers unlocks:
Benefits in kind, in the form of access to professional training courses published by the Company or its partners.
Higher commission rates per new Referred User, according to the pricing schedule in force on the Site.
7.3 Anti-Fraud Measures and Self-Referral
To preserve the integrity of the program, strict anti-fraud measures are implemented:
Cookie duration: Affiliate tracking is ensured by cookies with a maximum validity period of thirty (30) days.
Prohibition of self-referral: It is strictly prohibited to use one’s own discount coupon or to create alternate fictitious accounts (“self-referral”) in order to subscribe to one’s own Premium Pro subscription for the purpose of receiving the USD 10 commission or artificially increasing one’s progression tiers.
Any attempt at self-referral, traffic manipulation, use of bots, or fraudulent accounts detected by the Company will result in the immediate cancellation of pending commissions, forfeiture of acquired tiers, and the permanent, unilateral suspension of the Referrer’s account without compensation.
7.4 Tax Status and Affiliate Invoicing
Tax responsibility: The Referrer is solely and exclusively responsible for ensuring that their tax, legal, and social status complies with the amounts received through the affiliate program. It is their responsibility to declare all earnings, including cash commissions and valued benefits in kind, to the tax and social authorities of their country of residence.
Issuance of invoices: Since commissions are paid automatically via Stripe, if the Referrer’s legal status, such as company, micro-enterprise, or otherwise, requires the issuance of an invoice to regularize their accounting, they must send invoice or supporting document requests directly to the Company via the dedicated form. The Company does not make any withholding at source or nominative tax declaration on behalf of Referrers.
SECTION 8 – PERSONAL DATA (GDPR) AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
8.1 Personal Data
The Company processes Users’ personal data in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the French Data Protection Act. The data collected, including emails, login data, and Stripe information, is necessary for account management, subscription billing, and affiliate commission tracking. Users have a right of access, rectification, deletion, and objection, which they may exercise by contacting the Company by email.
8.2 Intellectual Property
Platform elements: The Site architecture, proprietary algorithms, logos, designs, and trademarks are the exclusive property of Holding Euthenia.
AI-generated data: Raw AI-generated texts that have not been claimed belong to the Site as part of its database.
Modified data: By modifying a Site Listing, the Legitimate Owner grants the Site a worldwide, free, non-exclusive license to reproduce and distribute such content on the directory. The Owner guarantees that they hold the intellectual property rights to the trademarks and logos they integrate into their listing.
SECTION 9 – APPLICABLE LAW AND COMPETENT JURISDICTION
These TCU/TCS, their validity, interpretation, and performance are governed exclusively by French law.
IN THE EVENT OF A DISPUTE arising from the use of the Site, or from the validity, interpretation, or performance of these TCU/TCS, and after an unsuccessful attempt at amicable resolution, EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION IS GRANTED TO THE COMPETENT COURTS WITHIN THE JURISDICTION OF THE CITY OF LYON, FRANCE, notwithstanding multiple defendants or third-party claims, including for Users, Referrers, or customers located internationally.
