Legal notice
Last updated: October 8, 2026
Purpose, scope and acceptance
This legal notice (the “Notice”) informs any person who, in any capacity, accesses the website available at https://candidact.com, together with any subdomains, redirections and pages attached to the same service (the “Site”), of the identity of its publisher, the conditions on which the Site is made available to the public, and the rules that govern its consultation. It is drawn up in light of French Act No. 2004-575 of 21 June 2004 on confidence in the digital economy, and more generally of the provisions applicable to an online public communication service published from France.
The Site is operated under the name CandidAct. It presents a service aimed principally at recruitment professionals. Access to the Site, its consultation, browsing, use of its forms, downloading of any item offered on it and, more broadly, any interaction with the content published on it constitute full, complete and unreserved acceptance of the Notice, in the wording in force on the day of that consultation. Acceptance is deemed given even where the user, discouraged by the length of the text, has read no further than the title.
The Notice applies to the exclusion of any other general terms that have not been brought to the user's attention on the Site itself. It is neither an offer to contract, nor a quotation, nor an undertaking to provide the CandidAct service, which, where it is subscribed, is governed by separate terms. If any provision of the Notice is held void, unenforceable or without effect, the remaining provisions keep their full force, and the Notice is then read as if the discarded provision had never appeared.
Website publisher
The Site is published by Fleury Capital, a French single-shareholder simplified joint-stock company (société par actions simplifiée unipersonnelle) with variable share capital, the statutory minimum of which is one thousand euros (€1,000), registered with the Paris Trade and Companies Register under number 980 921 258, with its registered office at 34 avenue des Champs-Élysées, 75008 Paris, France. The SIRET number of the registered office establishment is 980 921 258 00011. The intra-Community VAT number, assigned under the rules of the tax authorities, is FR96980921258.
The principal activity declared in the public registers is fund management, listed under NAF code 66.30Z. For the reader's complete information, the corporate purpose made public when the company was formed also covers holding and managing interests in other companies, providing administrative and financial services to those companies, advisory or assistance services in particular on strategy and management, and computer programming, consultancy and the development of websites and software. That list describes the corporate purpose. It does not, by itself, describe the services actually offered on the Site on the day it is consulted.
Fleury Capital is the publisher within the meaning of Article 6 of the Act of 21 June 2004. No telephone number of the publisher is published on the Site. The chosen means of contact, which is prompt and in writing, is the email address contact@candidact.com, to which any correspondence relating to the Site may validly be sent. The publisher has not appointed, on the Site, a permanent representative distinct from its presidency.
Publication director
The publication director of the Site is Mr Erwan Fleury, in his capacity as president of Fleury Capital. In that capacity he bears editorial responsibility for the content published on the Site, within the limits and according to the distinctions that the law draws between the publisher, the host and third parties whose statements might, where applicable, be reproduced.
Any request relating to published content, any request for correction, any notice concerning content that its author considers unlawful, and more generally any correspondence intended for the publication director, must be sent to the publishing company, for the attention of the president, at contact@candidact.com. Such a request is more useful if it identifies the page concerned, the date of consultation, and a precise statement of what is asked. The publisher is not required to follow up an anonymous request, an abusive request, a request manifestly lacking purpose, or a request so vague that verification is impossible.
Naming the publication director gives third parties no right to use his name for commercial purposes, to present him as endorsing a product that is not the publisher's, or to attribute to him statements that were not published under his responsibility on the Site.
Hosting and infrastructure
Hosting of the Site, meaning the provision of the technical infrastructure that allows access to it over the Internet, is provided by Cloudflare, Inc., a company incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware (United States of America), whose correspondence address is 101 Townsend Street, San Francisco, California 94107, United States of America. Cloudflare, Inc. may be reached at +1 650 319 8930, and at the addresses and forms that this host itself publishes.
The publisher recalls, so that no confusion arises, that the host provides distribution infrastructure and cannot, by that fact alone, be regarded as the author, co-author or guarantor of the editorial content. That content remains the responsibility of Fleury Capital, on the conditions laid down by law. The pages of the Site are prepared and then served through Cloudflare's services. The user acknowledges that the routing of a request, the temporary storage of a copy and the resolution of a domain name may pass through equipment located outside France and outside the European Union.
Fleury Capital remains free to change host, technical provider or distribution zone, without that change amounting to a change in the service presented on the Site and with no formality other than an update of this Notice. The identity of the host that is binding is the one shown on the Site on the day it is consulted.
Access, availability and use
The Site is in principle accessible twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. That availability is a best-efforts objective, not an obligation of result. It is interrupted, without the list being exhaustive, by maintenance, updates, incidents, action by the host, network failures, power cuts, acts of third parties and any event beyond the publisher's reasonable control. Fleury Capital may, at any time, without notice and without compensation, modify, suspend, restrict or interrupt all or part of the Site, including a form, a page, a language or a navigation element.
The user is solely responsible for their equipment, connection, browser configuration, the security of their device and the software they use to access the Site. It is for the user to take every useful step to protect their data, credentials and hardware against viruses and other malicious agents. The publisher cannot be answerable for damage whose cause lies in the user's equipment, in an intermediate network, or in a use of the Site contrary to its purpose.
The user shall not access or use the Site in a manner that would harm its operation, its security, its image, or the rights of third parties. In particular, and without the list being exhaustive, abusive automated exploration, mass extraction of content, introduction of malicious code, deliberate saturation of resources, identity theft and any attempt to reach an area that is not public are prohibited. The publisher may take any useful measure, including blocking an address or deleting a submission, to stop a use it considers abnormal.
Intellectual property
All elements that make up the Site, whether visual, textual, graphic, sound, software, structural or documentary, and in particular the texts, titles, the name CandidAct, the logo, the visual identity, the organisation of the pages, the interface mock-ups, the product illustrations and, where applicable, any databases displayed, are protected by intellectual property law. Depending on their nature, those elements are covered by copyright, trade mark law, design law, or the rights of database producers. They are the exclusive property of Fleury Capital, or are used under a licence granted for its benefit.
Any reproduction, representation, adaptation, translation, arrangement, extraction, reuse, distribution, making available or exploitation, in whole or in part, of any of those elements, by any process, on any medium and for any purpose, is prohibited without the prior, express written authorisation of Fleury Capital. The prohibition covers commercial use and use presented as private where it goes beyond mere consultation of the Site. It also covers mass indexing, the building of datasets and the training of automated systems, which cannot rely on an exception that has not been recognised by a final judgment or by a text binding on the publisher.
The user has a private, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable right of use, strictly limited to consulting the Site for their own information. That right includes no assignment, no implied licence and no right to modify the content. Any unauthorised use may constitute infringement, parasitic use or a fault, and may engage the civil and, where applicable, criminal liability of its author. Trade marks and distinctive signs mentioned on the Site that belong to third parties remain their owners' property. Mentioning them grants no right to use them.
Accuracy of information and liability
Information published on the Site is provided for general information. It describes, in the terms chosen by the publisher on the day it is posted, the CandidAct service, its principles, its steps and its commercial conditions as then presented. That information is not legal advice, not recruitment advice tailored to a particular situation, and not a promise of a hiring outcome. Fleury Capital endeavours to keep it accurate and up to date. It does not warrant that the Site is, at every moment, free of omission, inaccuracy, typographical error, broken link or information that has become out of date between two updates.
It is for the user, before any professional, commercial or legal decision, to check the points they need and to ask the publisher where a clarification would help. Prices, quotas, durations and plan descriptions shown on the Site may change. Only the contractual documents that may be given to the user, or the pages in force on the day of their order, govern the scope of the service subscribed. A screenshot, an isolated extract or a translation does not prevail over the published French version where the applicable law requires that reading.
To the fullest extent permitted by mandatory law, Fleury Capital excludes liability for direct or indirect damage, whether material or immaterial, foreseeable or not, including any loss of opportunity, loss of data, loss of business, commercial loss or harm to image, resulting from consultation of the Site, inability to access it, an interruption, a delay, use of the information on it, or reliance placed on that information. This limitation does not apply where the law forbids it to be set aside, in particular in the case of fraud or gross negligence, or where a public-policy rule imposes a liability that this Notice cannot reduce.
Hyperlinks
The Site may contain links to websites, pages or services operated by third parties, offered solely for the user's convenience. The existence of a link implies neither approval, nor control, nor monitoring, nor recommendation of the content, offers, privacy policies or practices of those third parties. Fleury Capital is not liable for damage, direct or indirect, resulting from consulting them, from a virus encountered there, or from information read there. The user leaves the Site at their own risk.
Creating a hyperlink to the Site from a third-party site is tolerated where it does not harm the image of CandidAct or Fleury Capital, does not suggest any association, partnership, sponsorship or certification that has not been agreed in writing, and does not use framing, embedding, mirroring or extraction that would hide the origin of the content or present it as that of the linking site. The publisher reserves the right to require, at any time and without having to show a loss already suffered, the removal of a link that does not meet these conditions. The absence of an immediate objection is not permission.
It is forbidden to use the name CandidAct, the logo or any element of the Site in a commercial link, an advertisement, a comparison service or an acquisition campaign, without prior agreement. The prohibition applies even where the link does point to the Site and even where the announcement presents itself as informational.
Personal data
Personal data collected through the Site, and in particular data the user chooses to provide through the trial request form, are processed by Fleury Capital, as controller, whose registered office is at 34 avenue des Champs-Élysées, 75008 Paris. The processing is described, with the detail required by Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and the French Data Protection Act, on the Site's Privacy and GDPR page. That page states the categories of data, the purposes, the legal bases, the recipients, the rights of individuals and how to exercise them.
For messages from the trial request form, the retention period is a maximum of one year from the last exchange, after which those messages are deleted, subject to longer periods that a legal obligation, a pending claim or the establishment of a right would require. This Notice does not replace the information on the Privacy page. If they diverge on personal data alone, that page prevails.
Any data subject may write to contact@candidact.com to exercise rights of access, rectification, erasure, objection, restriction and portability, on the conditions and within the limits laid down by law. They may also lodge a complaint with the French data protection authority, the CNIL (cnil.fr), without that option being conditional on a prior approach to the publisher, although it is sensible to contact the publisher first.
Trackers and cookies
The Site may store or read, on the user's device, information strictly necessary for its operation, for the security of browsing, for remembering the chosen language, the display theme, or a technical session state. Those trackers, where their only purpose is to enable or facilitate electronic communication, or where they are strictly necessary to provide a service the user has expressly requested, do not, as the law now stands, require prior consent.
If the publisher were to use trackers that are not strictly necessary, in particular for audience measurement that is not exempt, for advertising or for sharing with third-party networks, those trackers would be stored only after clear information and, where the law requires it, after the user's consent. That consent could be withdrawn as easily as it was given. Until such a mechanism is published on the Site, the user may take it that the trackers in use are those described in the previous paragraph.
The user may configure their browser to refuse some or all trackers, to delete them, or to be warned before they are stored. Such a configuration may impair, or even prevent, functions that depend on that information, in particular remembering the language or the theme. The publisher is not required to restore a function that the user's refusal makes technically impossible.
Governing law, language and jurisdiction
The Notice is governed by French law, without prejudice to mandatory rules of another State that would apply to a consumer and of which that consumer cannot be deprived. The Site is aimed principally at professionals acting for the needs of their recruitment activity. Whether the user is a professional is assessed on the circumstances, not on a statement alone.
The Site is offered in French, English, German, Spanish and Italian. Those versions are prepared in good faith for the convenience of readers. If interpretations diverge, the French version prevails, unless a mandatory rule provides otherwise. A translation creates no right that would not exist in the French version, and does not erase an obligation written there.
Failing a mandatory rule of jurisdiction, and in particular a consumer's right to sue in the courts of their home, any dispute relating to the Site, its access, its content or this Notice shall be submitted to the competent courts within the jurisdiction of the Paris Court of Appeal, to which the parties give exclusive jurisdiction. The publisher remains free to bring proceedings in any other court that would have jurisdiction over the user, where its interest in suing so justifies. Failure to rely, at a given time, on a provision of the Notice is not a waiver of the right to rely on it later.
Contact and notices
For any question about the Site, its content, this Notice, an intellectual property right or the exercise of a right over personal data, the user writes to contact@candidact.com. They are asked to state, in plain language, the subject of the request, the pages concerned and, where they act for someone else, the capacity in which they write. An incomplete request may be met with a request for clarification, in which case the time for a reply runs only from receipt of the useful particulars.
The publisher endeavours to reply within a reasonable time, having regard to the nature of the request and the checks it calls for. That time is not a contractual commitment, nor a limitation period, nor an admission of liability. Email exchanged at the address indicated has, as between the parties, the value of a writing, subject to the rules of evidence that the law imposes and that this Notice cannot set aside. The publisher is not required to reply on a channel other than the one it has published.
A notice sent to the host does not relieve its author of informing the publisher, where the law allows that information and the content in question is editorial content of the Site. Conversely, a notice sent to the publisher cannot bind the host, which assesses its duties under its own law and the texts that govern it.
Changes to this notice
Fleury Capital may amend this Notice at any time, to reflect a change in the Site, its organisation, its hosting, its providers, its offer or the applicable law. The amendment takes effect on publication on the Site, for the future. It does not unsettle uses already completed under the previous version, which remain governed by that version, subject to legal provisions that apply immediately.
The version that binds is the one published on the Site on the day it is consulted. The date of the last update is shown at the top of this page. It is for the user, particularly when they intend to rely on a provision, to consult the version in force and, if they wish, to keep a copy. The publisher is not required to archive, for the public, every successive version, or to notify each reader personally of a change.
Continued use of the Site after publication of an amended version constitutes acceptance of that version. If the user does not accept the Notice as amended, they should stop using the Site. No compensation is due because of that cessation, the Site being made available for information.
