Terms of use
Last updated: 28 August 2026
1. What this document is, and what it is not
These terms govern your use of the Outfold Systems pages at /ai on alexandrecorne.com, the enquiry forms on them, and the client area behind the sign-in link. By using any of that, you accept them.
They are not the contract for an engagement. Nothing is sold on this website. There is no cart, no checkout and no payment page. An engagement begins from a written proposal agreed between Ether's and the client, and that document, not this page, sets the price, the scope, the schedule, the payment terms and what happens if either side stops. Where the two ever disagree, the signed document wins.
Several things that belong in such a contract are listed below as open, and marked as open, rather than filled in with a formula. Alexandre Corne is not a lawyer and neither is the tool that drafted these pages.
2. Who you are dealing with
Outfold Systems is a trading name of Ether's, a French sole proprietorship registered under SIREN 879 425 049, represented by Alexandre Charly Corne, at Paperboy 6372, 20 quai de Lorraine, 11100 Narbonne, France. Contact: [email protected]. Full details in the Legal notice.
3. Who may use this site
The site is for adults, 18 and over, with the capacity to enter into a contract. If you write to us on behalf of a company, you confirm you may do so. Whatever you put in a form should be accurate, since it is what an answer will be based on.
4. Using the site properly
Do not:
- Use the forms for spam, harassment, unlawful content or unsolicited commercial messages.
- Request sign-in links for an address that is not yours, or try to sign in as someone else.
- Probe, scan or test the site or its infrastructure, or work around the rate limits.
- Scrape or bulk-copy the pages, or reuse their content without written permission.
Rate limits apply to the forms and to sign-in. Hitting one is not an error to report, it is the limit doing its job.
5. The client area
Access is by a single-use link sent to your email address, valid for fifteen minutes, and a session that lasts seven days. The link is personal. Anyone who can read your inbox can open it, so treat it as you would a password and tell us if you lose control of that inbox.
You are responsible for what is submitted from your session, including the intake answers and the files you upload. Upload only material you have the right to use. Access can be suspended if the account is being used in a way that breaks these terms.
The client area is a working surface, not an archive. Keep your own copy of anything that matters to you.
6. What the service is
Outfold Systems installs and sets up AI systems that produce and publish content, for content creators and for businesses. The delivery is work, done by a person using tooling, and is a best-efforts obligation (in French law, an obligation de moyens), not an obligation to reach a particular result. No result is promised: no audience figure, no revenue, no reach, no ranking. See the Disclaimer.
7. Intellectual property
The content of this site, including its text, layout, graphics, diagrams and code, belongs to the publisher. Reproduction, distribution, modification or exploitation without written permission is not permitted. The examples shown on the landing page are published work from Alexandre Corne's own brands.
What the client owns at the end of an engagement, and what stays with Ether's: the content produced, the systems and automations installed, the prompts and the method behind them, and what the client may keep running, copy or hand to another provider afterwards. This has to be decided once and then written into the engagement documents, because the answer is different for a deliverable and for the machinery that produced it.
8. What you send us
Comments, suggestions and testimonials sent through the forms may be used to improve the service. Nothing identifying you, and no material from your intake, is published without your agreement.
9. Availability
The site is provided as it is. It can be interrupted for maintenance, by a provider outage or by something outside our control, and no uptime is guaranteed. Pages and endpoints can change or be removed.
10. Liability
Nothing here removes or limits liability that French law does not allow to be removed or limited, including liability for wilful misconduct, gross negligence and personal injury, and including the protections available to a client who qualifies as a consumer.
Whether an engagement carries a liability cap, and at what level. A cap is normal in this kind of contract, but writing one here without advice would be inventing a clause, and a badly drafted cap is worth less than none.
11. The commercial terms, which are not settled here
These are real decisions with legal consequences. They are listed openly rather than filled in.
Consumer or professional. Whether an individual creator buying an engagement is a consumer under French law. Almost everything below depends on that answer, and it may differ from one client to the next.
Right of withdrawal. If a client is a consumer, the fourteen day withdrawal period of the French Consumer Code applies, together with the express request needed to start work inside that period and what is owed if the client then withdraws. byCaliber already runs this pattern; whether it transfers to an engagement of this shape is the question.
Payment and cancellation. The currency of the contract, whether the fee is due in full before work starts or in instalments, what is refundable and when, and the late payment terms. VAT status has to be stated too: Ether's operates under the French VAT exemption for small businesses, and whether that holds for cross-border clients is not a guess to make here.
Responsibility for what is published. Content produced through the system goes out under the client's name, on the client's accounts. Who is the publisher of it, who answers for a third-party rights claim, a takedown or a platform suspension, and who reviews a piece before it goes out. This is the single most consequential open point on this page.
Third-party AI providers. Whether client material passes through AI providers during delivery, and if so whether they are sub-processors requiring a data processing agreement, a named list, and a mention in the Privacy notice. This site sends nothing to an AI provider; the delivery work is a separate question and has to be answered on the facts.
Consumer mediation. If clients can be consumers, French law requires a named consumer mediator to be available free of charge. byCaliber names CM2C. Whether that affiliation covers Outfold Systems engagements needs to be confirmed rather than assumed.
12. Personal data
Handled as described in the Privacy notice, which lists every field that is stored and where.
13. Complaints
Write first to [email protected], or by post to Ether's, Paperboy 6372, 20 quai de Lorraine, 11100 Narbonne, France. A written complaint gets a written answer.
14. Governing law
These terms are governed by French law. Any dispute about this website goes to the courts of Paris, France, without prejudice to the mandatory protections available to a client who qualifies as a consumer, which include the right to bring a claim before the court where they live.
The law and the forum for a client engagement, in particular for a client outside France, and whether an amicable step or mediation comes first. Ether's is French and its other brands all point to French law and French courts; the operator works from Vietnam, which does not change the entity but is worth putting in front of whoever drafts the engagement contract.
15. Severability and changes
If one provision here turns out to be unenforceable, the rest still stands. These terms can change; the date at the top is the last revision, and the version that applies to an engagement is the one in force when the engagement documents were signed.
