  • access to the home page ;

  • newsletters ;

  • creation of a personal space

  • access to the pages of projects currently being financed;

  • access to comments; and

  • more generally, access to the content published on the Site.

These general terms and conditions of use may be supplemented by special terms and conditions which will be presented to the Investor in advance for acceptance before access to certain information and services is possible.

Any registration on the Site implies unreserved acceptance of these general conditions of use.

The Enerfip Group may modify these general conditions of use at any time. All Investors must therefore refer to the only version online at the time of consultation, which will automatically be the latest version of the said general terms and conditions of use.

In the event of modification of these general terms and conditions of use, the Investor shall receive notification of the new general terms and conditions of use. He may not refuse them if he is engaged in a financing transaction on the Site. If they are not involved in a financing transaction on the Site and wish to refuse them, they have a period of five (5) working days to notify the Enerfip Group by e-mail at the following address: investisseurs@enerfip.eu After this period, the Enerfip Group will consider that the Investor has tacitly accepted the new general terms and conditions of use.

Similarly, the Investor who registers on the Site accepts the general terms and conditions of use of Lemonway, a payment service provider approved by the ACPR under number 16568 (the "Banking Partner"). The Banking Partner may be modified at any time, including in the event of a change of Banking Partner.

In the event of a change in the general terms and conditions of use of the Banking Partner or in the event of a change in the Banking Partner (which has its own general terms and conditions of use), the Investor will receive notification with the new general terms and conditions of use of the Banking Partner or with the general terms and conditions of use of the new Banking Partner. They cannot refuse them if they are involved in a financing transaction on the Site, as the Banking Partner's general terms and conditions of use form a contractual whole with the Enerfip Group's general terms and conditions of use, whose service cannot operate without a Banking Partner. If they are not involved in a financing transaction on the Site and wish to refuse them, they have a period of five (5) working days to notify the Enerfip Group by e-mail at the following address: investisseurs@enerfip.eu. After this period, the Enerfip Group will consider that it has tacitly accepted the Banking Partner's new general terms and conditions of use.
