MOBIDYS CANADA provides a digital platform called BIBLIODYSSEE for municipal libraries (BM) of all types (communal, intercommunal, networked, regional, etc.), departmental libraries (BDP), and private or associative libraries (outside the school and educational sector), welcoming Users with reading difficulties or learning disorders (dyslexia, dysphasia, dyspraxia, etc.). The platform provides access to a collection of digital books in the FROG format (“Free your Cognition”), designed for cognitive accessibility.

BIBLIODYSSEE is accessible to the Subscriber via a web interface and/or mobile application for iOS and Android, enabling Users to consult the Books in exchange for payment of an annual platform subscription fee.

4 – Access to the Platform

MOBIDYS CANADA offers the Subscriber:

A local selection of 40 books (BIBLIODYSSEE Local) for reading on PCs or iOS/Android tablets of the Subscriber, on-site or for lending.
An online selection of 115 books (BIBLIODYSSEE Online) for remote reading via web interface, in streaming or offline mode via the mobile applications.

For each local selection ordered, the Subscriber receives login credentials for 1 to 5 distinct devices (PC, iOS or Android tablet), accessible via the Subscriber’s account. Each login is valid for a single Subscriber account only.

Upon order confirmation, MOBIDYS CANADA estimates a delivery time to provide the Platform to the Subscriber’s Administrators and Users and make the Books available.

Local access: The Subscriber logs in via the web application “BiBliOdyssée” on a desktop or installs the dedicated “BiBliOdyssée” app on mobile devices and opens a session using credentials provided by MOBIDYS CANADA. Books can be downloaded for offline reading.

Online access: Integration of the resource can be carried out via a connector to the Subscriber’s Integrated Library System (ILS), allowing single sign-on (SSO) and, optionally, federated search services.

The Subscriber may not grant direct or indirect access to BIBLIODYSSEE to educational institutions without a specific contract with MOBIDYS CANADA or its subsidiaries.

All access and use of the Platform are subject to the rights granted by MOBIDYS CANADA. The Subscriber is responsible for all acts performed with Administrator and User credentials and releases MOBIDYS CANADA from any liability. The Subscriber must immediately notify MOBIDYS CANADA of any unauthorized access.

5 – Platform Availability and Corrective Maintenance

MOBIDYS CANADA commits to a satisfactory level of platform availability.

Subscribers can report malfunctions via email to support.bibliodyssee@mobidys.fr, providing a detailed description, date, time, and reproducibility.

MOBIDYS CANADA will address all reports during business hours and use reasonable efforts to resolve documented malfunctions, either through workarounds or corrective updates.

If an ILS connector is developed, an operational maintenance contract will be attached, covering necessary adjustments due to changes by the Subscriber. Maintenance costs are included in the subscription.

MOBIDYS CANADA manages preventive, corrective, and evolutionary maintenance of the Platform, excluding Subscriber-reported malfunctions. It may temporarily suspend access for maintenance, minimizing disruption, and notifying the Subscriber when possible.

Disputes must be notified within 15 calendar days.

Non-conforming use;

Peaceful enjoyment guarantees apply only if the Subscriber uses the Platform and Books according to the Terms.

Data includes email (login), name, first name, and affiliated media library. Data retention: Administrators’ data for subscription duration, others for 3 years after subscription, then archived as required by law. Data is stored on EU-based servers.

Users may exercise rights to access, correct, delete, limit, or transfer data, or provide posthumous instructions. Requests must be sent to support.bibliodyssee@mobidys.fr with proof of identity.

MOBIDYS CANADA may suspend service or terminate subscriptions if required data is unavailable due to rights exercised. Users may file complaints with CNIL or other authorities.

12 – Confidentiality

The Subscriber must keep MOBIDYS CANADA’s confidential information strictly confidential for subscription purposes only, including cognitive accessibility know-how, FROG functionalities, and related expertise.

13 – Liability

The Subscriber is solely responsible for misuse or non-compliant use of the Platform and indemnifies MOBIDYS CANADA against all claims.

MOBIDYS CANADA is liable only for direct damages caused by proven breaches of essential contractual obligations, limited to the subscription fee for the calendar year in which the damage occurred. Liability claims must be made within 1 year of the event or subscription termination.

14 – Applicable Law and Disputes
