3. FINTESK SERVICES
3.1 Use of Fintesk Services
Subject to these Terms and applicable Supplemental Terms, and payment of the applicable Fee for the selected Subscription, Fintesk grants the Client and its Users a non-exclusive, non-transferable, and non-sublicensable license to use Fintesk Services to:
- collect, store, and organize Client Data;
- modify and delete Client Data; and
- customize standard Features or functionality of Fintesk Services.
3.2 Modifications to Fintesk Services
Fintesk reserves the right to modify Fintesk Services or any part or element thereof from time to time without prior notice, including, but not limited to:
- Rebranding, repackaging, or changing the price (including adjustments to current Fees that will apply on the next subscription renewal date) of Fintesk Services at its sole discretion;
- Ceasing to provide or discontinuing the development of any particular Service, Feature, or part or element of the Fintesk Platform, temporarily or permanently;

As applicable, the Client may be notified of such modifications upon logging into the Account.
If the Client does not accept a modification, the Client must notify Fintesk or the Reseller (if the Client purchased access to Fintesk Services from a Reseller) prior to the effective date of the modification, and the Client's Account will terminate on the effective date of the modification. However, the Client's continued use of Fintesk Services, or any part or element thereof, after the effective date of a modification will indicate their consent to the modifications. Fintesk shall not be liable to the Client or any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation of Fintesk Services, or any part or element thereof.
3.3 Credentials
The Client is responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of all Credentials and is solely responsible for all activities that occur under such Credentials. These Credentials must not be shared or used by multiple individuals but may be reassigned to a new User replacing a former User who has ceased working (or changed job roles) and no longer uses Fintesk Services. Fintesk reserves the right to terminate any User Credentials that Fintesk reasonably determines may have been used by an unauthorized third party or in an unauthorized manner, as determined solely by Fintesk, and will strictly notify the Client of such termination.
The Client must immediately notify Fintesk:
- of any actual or suspected unauthorized disclosure, loss, or use of any Credentials;
- of a User's departure from the Client's organization;
- of a change in a User's role within the Client's organization; or
- of any termination of a User's right for any reason.
3.4 Changing Subscriptions
The Client may upgrade or downgrade a current subscription at any time by selecting a new subscription from the collection of subscriptions defined by Fintesk. In such case, the Client's credit card on file with Fintesk will automatically be charged a Fee for the next payment interval at the rate stipulated in the new subscription. If the Client chooses to upgrade their Subscription, the unused portion of any prepaid Fee will be applied to the upgraded Subscription Fee. If, after the commencement of a Subscription Term, the Client chooses to downgrade their Subscription, this may cause the loss of Features, functionality, Account capacity, as well as the loss of Client Data. The Client will not be refunded any prepaid or outstanding Fee for the price difference between Subscriptions in the event the Client decides to downgrade after the commencement of the Subscription Term.
3.5 Client Account Management
The Client acknowledges that they retain administrative control over whom they grant access to Client Data hosted on Fintesk Services. The Client may specify a User to be the billing owner and, depending on the Subscription, one or more Users to be Administrators to manage their account, and Fintesk is entitled to rely on communications from an Administrator when servicing the Client's Account. Client Administrators may have the ability to access, monitor, use, and/or export Client Data.
3.6 Technical Support
Fintesk will provide reasonable technical support to the Client and its Users through the following options, as described below, as soon as reasonably possible.
- Chat: available to all users via their Fintesk account
- Phone: users of certain Subscriptions may request a support callback via their Fintesk account
If you have trouble logging in or do not have a Fintesk account, you can contact us at contacto@fintesk.com.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, for any Fintesk Service purchased from a Reseller, first-line technical support will be provided by the Reseller and not by Fintesk.
3.7 User Verification
The Client understands and agrees that we may require them to provide information that may be used to confirm their identity and help ensure the security of their Account and/or User. In the event the Client loses access to an Account or requests information about an Account, we reserve the right to request any verification from the Client we deem necessary before restoring access or providing information about such Account.
3.8 Features
Fintesk may, from time to time, make Features available through Fintesk Services, which may be subject to Supplemental Terms. The Client's use of any such Features is subject to the applicable Supplemental Terms.
3.9 Free Trial
A new Client may be entitled to a Free Trial and is not required to provide any credit card or payment information during the Free Trial period. Upon expiration of the Free Trial period, the account will be automatically deactivated. To avoid deactivation or reactivate the Account, the Client must select a Subscription and pay the Fee for the first payment interval of the Subscription. If the Client does not pay the Fee for the first payment interval within 2 weeks after the expiration of the Free Trial period, Fintesk has the right to permanently delete the Account, including all Client Data. In addition to the current collection of Subscriptions, Fintesk may offer special discounts and promotions from time to time at Fintesk's sole discretion, which may be subject to additional terms and conditions.
3.10 Beta Services
Fintesk may offer Clients certain Features for testing and evaluation purposes referred to as Beta Services. Fintesk reserves the right to fully or partially discontinue, at any time and from time to time, temporarily or permanently, any of the Beta Services, with or without prior notice to the Client. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY PROVISION TO THE CONTRARY IN THESE TERMS, THE CLIENT AGREES THAT FINTESK SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO THE CLIENT OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY DAMAGES RELATED TO, ARISING FROM THE CLIENT'S USE OF BETA SERVICES, OR CAUSED BY THE MODIFICATION, SUSPENSION, OR DISCONTINUATION OF ANY OF THE BETA SERVICES, FOR ANY REASON.
3.11 Non-Fintesk Applications
Fintesk or third parties may make available third-party applications that are not Fintesk applications (including a potential "Marketplace" directory) and offer a listing of certain external providers ("External Providers") that the Client engages for integration services, software development, or other services in connection with the use of Fintesk. If the Client chooses to acquire a Non-Fintesk Application or engage an External Provider, the terms and conditions regarding their use or receipt of the Non-Fintesk Application or External Provider services are between the Client and the provider of those Non-Fintesk Applications or the External Provider, and any data exchange between the Client and such external provider is solely between the Client and the relevant provider. Any questions, concerns, or disputes arising based on the Client's use of Non-Fintesk Applications or External Provider services must be addressed with the provider of such Non-Fintesk Application or External Provider and not with Fintesk.
Fintesk does not warrant, support, or maintain Non-Fintesk Applications or services or materials provided by External Providers, whether designated by Fintesk as “certified” or not. Fintesk does not recommend any particular External Provider, and the existence of a directory or search functionality should not be construed as Fintesk recommending an Application or External Provider. Fintesk is not responsible for any disclosure, modification, or deletion of Client Data resulting from access by such Non-Fintesk Application or its provider. The Client should be aware that Non-Fintesk Applications may allow users to have access to Client Data normally reserved for Administrators.
Integration with Non-Fintesk Applications. Fintesk Services may contain Features and functions designed to interoperate with Non-Fintesk Applications. However, Fintesk cannot guarantee the continued availability of such Features or functionalities, and may cease providing them without prior notice and without entitling the Client to any refund, credit, or other compensation, if, for example and without limitation, the provider of a non-Fintesk service ceases to make the Non-Fintesk Application available to interoperate with the corresponding Features or functionalities in a manner acceptable to Fintesk.
FINTESK SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY WHATSOEVER FOR ANY CLAIMS ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO NON-FINTESK APPLICATIONS OR EXTERNAL PROVIDERS.

5. FINTESK RESPONSIBILITIES
5.1. Provision of Fintesk Services
Fintesk (a) will make Fintesk Services, Content, and Client Data available to the Client pursuant to these Terms, (b) will provide support as described in Section 3.6 for Fintesk Services to the Client in accordance with the Client's Subscription, (c) will make commercially reasonable efforts to make Fintesk Services available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, except for: (i) planned downtime (of which Fintesk will provide advance electronic notice), and (ii) any unavailability caused by circumstances beyond Fintesk's reasonable control, including, for example, an act of Force Majeure, act of government, flood, fire, earthquake, civil unrest, act of terror, pandemic, strike or other labor problem, Internet service provider failure or delay, or denial of service attack.

For additional information regarding such transfers with Sub-processors, please refer to Fintesk's Privacy Notice and the current list of Sub-processors.
5.2. Protection of Client Data
Fintesk will maintain administrative, physical, and technical safeguards to protect the security, confidentiality, and integrity of Client Data. Those safeguards will include, but are not limited to, measures to prevent unauthorized access, use, modification, or disclosure of Client Data. Furthermore, Fintesk will only access, use, modify, or otherwise disclose Client Data: (a) to provide Fintesk Services and prevent or address technical or service issues, (b) as required by law in accordance with Section 7.6 (Mandatory Disclosure) below, (c) as permitted by these Terms, (d) as expressly permitted by the Client or User in writing.
6. FEES/PAYMENT
The provisions of this Section 6 are applicable only if the Client accesses Fintesk Services directly from Fintesk. If the Client purchases access to Fintesk Services through a Reseller, payment conditions will be established in the Client's agreement with such Reseller.
Use of Fintesk Services, other than through a Free Trial, is subject to a Fee. Upon registering for an Account, the Client must select a Subscription. Different fees apply to different subscriptions. The applicable Fee is charged in advance on a monthly or annual basis. Fintesk reserves the right to modify the Fees of any Subscription, at its reasonable discretion, at any time after the commencement of the Subscription Term, with at least one month's prior notice to the Client; such modification will not take effect until the commencement of any Subscription immediately following the Subscription Term in which Fintesk notified the Client of the modification.
The Client authorizes Fintesk to automatically charge the Client the applicable Fees starting on the Renewal Date, unless the Subscription has been terminated or canceled in accordance with these Terms. If a Client wishes to reduce the number of Users, they must do so before the Renewal Date. Clients may cancel their Subscription at any time as described below; however, they must do so before the Renewal Date to avoid billing of Fees for the next Subscription Term. If the Client chooses to cancel their Subscription during the Subscription Term, the Client may use the Service until the end of the Client's then-current Subscription Term, but will not be refunded the most recently charged Fees (or previous ones).
All fees are non-refundable. For clarity, there are no refunds or credits for periods where the Client did not use an activated Account, used it only partially, deactivated the Account, or canceled these Terms during an ongoing payment interval, or when an Account is terminated or suspended by Fintesk in accordance with Section 13.
All Fees exclude all taxes, levies, or duties applicable under any applicable law, unless otherwise stated herein. The Client is solely responsible for payment of such taxes, levies, or duties.
In the event the Client fails to pay all Fees due within 29 days of the invoice date, Fintesk will suspend all access to the Client's Account. The Client will have 180 days to provide an authorized payment method to reactivate a subscription and their Account; otherwise, Fintesk has the right to permanently delete the Account, including all Client Data contained therein.
6.1 Payment Card Authorization
Fintesk (LibroContable SpA) and its Affiliates may request pre-authorization of the Client's payment card account prior to the purchase of Fintesk Services to verify that the payment card is valid and has the necessary funds or available credit to cover any purchase. The Client agrees to approve such card pre-authorization and to pay the Subscription amounts described on the Website, and authorizes Fintesk to charge all Fees to such card account. The Client agrees to provide Fintesk with updated information regarding their payment card account upon Fintesk's request and at any time the previously provided information is no longer valid.
6.2 Direct Debit Payments
If the Client agrees, Fintesk may choose for the Client to complete a bank debit mandate to enable bank debit payments. In such cases, Fintesk will comply with all applicable national rules and regulations related to direct debit payments.
6.3 Payment Service Providers
Fintesk uses Flow to process Client bank debit payments. More information on how Flow processes Client personal data and Client data protection rights, including the Client's right to object, is available at https://www.flow.cl/faq.php
6.4 Payment Service Providers
The Client acknowledges and agrees that Fintesk may use a third-party payment service provider (e.g., Adyen, Stripe, or similar) to process Subscription Fee payments. The Client is responsible for complying with the terms and conditions of such payment service provider. Fintesk is not responsible for errors, failures, or additional charges imposed by the payment service provider or the Client's financial institution, and the Client shall indemnify Fintesk for any payment dispute or chargeback. Fintesk assumes no liability in connection with the security of the Client's payment information or information the Client provides to the payment service provider.
6.5 Taxes
Unless otherwise stated, Subscription Fees do not include any taxes, levies, duties, assessments, or similar charges (including, but not limited to, value-added taxes, sales taxes, goods and services taxes, transaction taxes, consumption taxes, or excise taxes, collectively known as 'Taxes') imposed by any tax authority. The Client is responsible for paying all Taxes associated with Client purchases pursuant to these Terms, with the exception of taxes based solely on Fintesk's income.
6.6 Electronic Invoice
If Fintesk has not requested pre-authorization of the Client's payment card, then, before the end of each payment interval, an electronic invoice will be issued to the Client for payment of the Fee for the next payment interval. The Client must pay the invoice before the due date indicated on the invoice.
6.7 Late Payment Charges
In the event of delay in any payment, Fintesk may require the Client to pay interest on the delay (late payment penalty) for the period such payment is overdue. The late payment interest rate shall be 3% per month or the maximum permitted by local law, whichever is greater.
6.8 Right of Set-off
In addition to other rights and remedies Fintesk may have, if legally permitted, Fintesk may set off any payment obligation to the Client that Fintesk may incur under the Terms against any fees owed to Fintesk and which the Client has not yet paid under the Terms, or any other agreement between the Client and Fintesk.
6.9 No Refund
The Client agrees that, with the exception of any refund expressly permitted in these Terms, all paid Fees are non-refundable. Fintesk is not obligated to issue a refund or credit for unused Subscription time, loss of features or functionality due to Subscription downgrade, or for any early termination or cancellation by the Client.

The Client is solely responsible for the accuracy, quality, legality, reliability, integrity, and correctness of all Client Data. The Client represents and warrants that they have the authority and necessary rights to use Fintesk Services and upload Client Data as contemplated by this Agreement, without violating third-party rights or applicable laws.
If the Client uploads Client Data to Fintesk Services, such Client Data and any processing of such Client Data must comply with these Terms and applicable law.
All rights, title, and interest in Client Data belong to the Client or their respective owners (including Users, individuals, and organizations), whether posted and/or uploaded by the Client or made available on or through Fintesk Services.
By uploading Client Data to Fintesk Services, the Client grants Fintesk a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid right and license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, display, and distribute Client Data (i) as necessary to provide Fintesk Services and its functionalities to the Client, (ii) as required by law, and (iii) as otherwise permitted by this Agreement (including to generate aggregated or anonymized Fintesk Data, if permitted in Section 1.1).
The Client is responsible for ensuring that:

- Client Data is not harmful (for example, viruses, worms, malware, and other destructive codes), offensive, threatening, abusive, harassing, tortious, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, invasive of another's privacy, hateful, or illegal; and
- The Client and all Users associated with the Account have the necessary rights to use Client Data, including to insert it into Fintesk Services and process it through the Account.
7.3 No Liability for Client Data
Fintesk does not guarantee any accuracy with respect to information contained in Client Data and recommends that the Client carefully consider what they transmit, send, or post through Fintesk Services. The Client understands that all information contained in Client Data is the sole responsibility of the person from whom such Client Data originated. The Client is solely responsible for the accuracy, quality, legality, reliability, integrity, and correctness of all Client Data. The Client represents and warrants that they have the authority and necessary rights to use Fintesk Services and upload Client Data as contemplated by this Agreement, without violating third-party rights or applicable laws.
7.4 Sensitive Information and Illicit Client Data
The Client shall not use the Fintesk Service in any way to process:
- (a) Sensitive Information or
- (b) Client Data that is, in any way, prohibited by law or violates these Terms.
Fintesk is not obligated to pre-screen, monitor, or filter Client Data, or its processing by the Client, to determine if it is Sensitive Information or of an illegal nature.
However, if Fintesk, at its sole discretion, has reason to believe that the Client is processing any illegal Client Data or Sensitive Information, or if the action of its processing is of an illegal nature, Fintesk has the right to:
- (a) notify the Client of such illegal Client Data or Sensitive Information;
- (b) deny its use in Fintesk Services;
- (c) require the Client to bring their use of Fintesk Services into compliance with these Terms and applicable law;
- (d) temporarily or permanently remove illegal Client Data or Sensitive Information from Fintesk Services, restrict access to it, or delete it.
If Fintesk is presented with convincing evidence that Client Data is not Sensitive Information or illegal, Fintesk may, at its sole discretion, restore such Client Data or Sensitive Information, which was previously removed from Fintesk Services or the Account or access to which was restricted.
Fintesk Services are not designed to comply with industry-specific regulations, such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) or the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA). As such, the Client may not use Fintesk Services where their communications would be subject to such laws. Furthermore, the Client may not use Fintesk Services in a manner that violates the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA).
THE CLIENT ACKNOWLEDGES THAT FINTESK SERVICES HAVE NOT BEEN DESIGNED TO PROCESS OR MANAGE SENSITIVE INFORMATION AND, ACCORDINGLY, THE CLIENT AGREES NOT TO USE FINTESK SERVICES TO COLLECT, MANAGE, OR PROCESS SENSITIVE INFORMATION. FINTESK SHALL NOT HAVE, AND FINTESK SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS, ANY LIABILITY THAT MAY RESULT FROM THE CLIENT'S USE OF FINTESK SERVICES TO COLLECT, PROCESS, OR MANAGE SENSITIVE INFORMATION.

11. INDEMNIFICATION
11.1 Indemnification by the Client
The Client will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Fintesk, its Affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, employees, and agents (collectively, the "Fintesk Parties"), against any claim, loss, damage, liability, or expense, including attorney's fees ("Claim") arising from or related to:
- The use or misuse of Fintesk Services or Materials by the Client or its Users.
- The breach by the Client or its Users of these Terms or any applicable law.
- Any Claim by a third party alleging that Client Data infringes the intellectual property rights of such third party.
- Any breach or inaccuracy of the Client's representations or warranties under these Terms.
Fintesk reserves the right, at its expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by the Client, and the Client agrees to cooperate with Fintesk in such defense.
11.2 Indemnification by Fintesk
Fintesk will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Client, its Affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, employees, and agents against any Claim by a third party alleging that Fintesk Services (excluding Non-Fintesk Applications and Client Data) directly infringe the Intellectual Property Rights of such third party.
Fintesk shall have no indemnification obligation under this section if the Claim arises from: (i) the Client's use of the Services contrary to these Terms; (ii) use of the Services in combination with software or data not provided by Fintesk; (iii) any Client Data; or (iv) Non-Fintesk Applications.
If Fintesk reasonably believes that an infringement claim related to Fintesk Services may arise, Fintesk may, without limiting Fintesk's indemnification obligations herein, procure the right for the Client to continue using Fintesk Services or modify Fintesk Services in a functionally equivalent manner to avoid such infringement claim. If the foregoing options are not available on commercially reasonable terms and conditions (as determined by Fintesk), Fintesk may immediately terminate these Terms and refund the Client a pro-rated amount of prepaid Subscription Fees for access to Services actually paid by the Client for the remainder of the Subscription Term.
The Client Parties receiving notice, or becoming aware, of a claim that Fintesk has agreed to defend under this Section must give Fintesk immediate written notice of such claim or allegation, setting forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances surrounding the claim. The Client Parties shall not make any payment or incur costs or expenses regarding such claim, except as requested by Fintesk or necessary to comply with this procedure. The Client Parties shall not make any admission of liability or take any other action that limits Fintesk's ability to defend the claim. Fintesk shall have the right to assume full and complete control of the defense or settlement of such claim or allegation. The Client Parties shall cooperate fully in the defense or settlement of the claim as reasonably requested by Fintesk.
12. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

- the application of any remedy against the Client or Users by Fintesk; for example, if the Client or User has committed a crime or infringed applicable law when using Fintesk Services or any part or element thereof;

- provide Fintesk with accurate information regarding the Client, Users, or the Account;
- notify Fintesk of any reason why a User is not entitled to use the Account on behalf of the Client;

- ensure the legality of Client Data;
- obtain necessary rights to use Client Data; or
- comply with any of the restrictions described in these Terms.
12.2 Limitation of Liability
IN NO EVENT SHALL THE TOTAL LIABILITY OF FINTESK AND ITS AFFILIATES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS, WHETHER RESPECTING A SINGLE OCCURRENCE OR A SERIES OF OCCURRENCES, EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAID BY THE CLIENT HEREUNDER FOR THE SPECIFIC FINTESK SERVICES GIVING RISE TO THE LIABILITY IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE FIRST INCIDENT FROM WHICH THE LIABILITY AROSE. THE FOREGOING LIMITATION WILL APPLY WHETHER AN ACTION IS FOR NEGLIGENCE, CONTRACT OR TORT, MISREPRESENTATION, OR OTHERWISE, AND REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY, BUT WILL NOT LIMIT THE CLIENT'S PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS SET FORTH IN SECTION 5 “FEES/PAYMENT.”
12.3 Exclusion of Consequential and Related Damages
EXCEPT FOR THE CLIENT'S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS SET FORTH IN SECTION 11 “INDEMNIFICATION,” IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY OR ITS AFFILIATES HAVE ANY LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, GOODWILL, OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, COVER, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, WHETHER AN ACTION IN CONTRACT OR TORT AND REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY, EVEN IF A PARTY OR ITS AFFILIATES HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES OR IF A PARTY OR ITS AFFILIATES' REMEDY OTHERWISE FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. THE FOREGOING DISCLAIMER SHALL NOT APPLY TO THE EXTENT PROHIBITED BY LAW.
12.4 Applicability of Limitations

12.5 Acknowledgement of Risk Allocation
THE DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES AND LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY CONTAINED IN THESE TERMS ARE FUNDAMENTAL PARTS OF THE BASIS OF FINTESK'S AGREEMENT HEREUNDER, AND THE CLIENT ACKNOWLEDGES THAT SUCH PROVISIONS REPRESENT A REASONABLE ALLOCATION OF RISK. Since some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations or exclusions of warranties or liability, some or all of the limitations and exclusions set forth in this Section 12 may be considered inapplicable as applied to the Client Parties. In such cases, FINTESK's liability will be limited to the greatest extent permitted by applicable law.

Fintesk shall have no obligation to provide the Client with any credit or refund of prepaid Subscription Fees due to suspension in accordance with these Terms.

Unless specifically limited otherwise in these Terms, the arbitral tribunal shall have the power to grant any remedy or relief it deems appropriate, whether provisional or final, including, without limitation, injunctive relief and any measure ordered by the arbitral tribunal, to the extent permitted by applicable law, shall be considered a final award on the subject of the measures and shall be enforceable as such.
Each party retains the right to apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for provisional and/or interim measures, including attachments or injunctions prior to arbitration, and such request shall not be deemed incompatible with the arbitration agreement or a waiver of the right to arbitrate.
The parties and the members of the arbitral tribunal shall maintain the confidentiality of the existence and content of the arbitration proceedings and any ruling or award, except
- (i) to the extent disclosure is required of a party to comply with a legal duty, protect or pursue a legal right, or enforce or challenge an award in bona fide legal proceedings before a state court or other judicial authority,
