These general terms of services will be applied and are an essential part of all Offers and Services provided to the Client by Advanced Software Production Line, S.L. (hereinafter ASPL), with CIF B-82827932.

These conditions supersede any general terms that will be declared applicable after the formalization of a previous contract.

FIRST.- DEFINITIONS

  • 1.1.- Client: the party that has signed a Contract with ASPL.
  • 1.2.- Service: the service to be provided by ASPL to the Client.
  • 1.3.- Contract: the contract signed between ASPL and the Client, whose purpose is the provision of the ASPL Services.
  • 1.4.- Compensation: reimbursement of (or part of) the recurring price corresponding to the last month of the Service provided.
  • 1.5.- Force majeure: any cause that prevents either of the two Parties from fulfilling any or all of their obligations under the Contract arising out of or attributable to acts, events, omissions or accidents beyond the reasonable control of the Parties for its prevention. Those acts, events, omissions or accidents will include, among others, strike, lockouts or other industrial disputes (whether or not the labour force of the Parties or other parties are involved), unpredictable acts, embargoes, war, terrorism, mutiny, riots social, malicious damage, compliance with any law or government order, rule, regulation, address, accident, equipment breakdown, fire, flood or storm or the subsequent effects of any other event.

SECOND.- PRICE AND METHOD OF PAYMENT

  • 2.1.- The exact price of the Service contracted by the Client will be determined by the type of Service and the duration contracted.
  • 2.2.- Prices may be unilaterally varied by ASPL according to market needs, notifying this change to the Client at least 30 days before the date of renewal of the Service and having the Client the possibility to terminate the contract unilaterally with a 15 days before the date of renewal of the Service, so that ASPL does not renew the Service with the new rates.
  • 2.3.- The Client must pay the amount corresponding to the Service contracted through the available forms of payment established at that moment. A different method of payment may also be agreed as long as the specific conditions of the Client justify it. In the event of a situation of non-payment or a history of non-payments in ASPL –also considering any return of a charge made by ASPL as a non-payment–, the Client will only have at its disposal certain payment methods specific for both new contracts and for the renewal of Services of the Client.
  • 2.4.- The totality of the bank expenses of the transfers issued in favour of ASPL for the payment of contracted services will always be the responsibility of the transferor, generally, the Client.
  • 2.5.- The Client must duly inform the concept of income.
  • 2.6.- For each bank return due to causes attributable to the Client, ASPL will charge an additional fee of 1.00% (one percent) of the amount returned with a minimum amount of 5.00 euros (taxes not included).
  • 2.7.- ASPL reserves the right to temporarily suspend the Service provided due to any incident attributable to the Client in the experienced in the payment procedure and/or non-payment until its resolution. If the Customer does not proceed to pay after 10 days after the notice of the temporary suspension, the Service will be permanently terminated due to a breach of the contract on their side.
  • 2.8.- All the Services in ASPL are activated with an automatic renewal, so that ASPL will proceed to its renewal, as long as the payment data of the Client are correct. The Client may request at any time the deactivation of the automatic renewal. ASPL will always notify and inform the Client that the Service will be renewed prior to its expiration, and the Client may request its cancellation, thus terminating the contract. Once the Service is renewed without any manifestation against it by the Client, in no case there will be a refund of the payment.
  • 2.9.- ASPL may deactivate the automatic renewals for a Client in the event or a history of non-payments in ASPL. In the event that the Client had deactivated these automatic renewals, he assumes that he must proceed to renew the Service before the end of the term of the last contract made –date in which the Service will expire– to avoid last-minute incidents and unexpected consequences. The Client assumes all responsibility for the losses or incidents that may arise from the renewal request after this deadline, limiting the responsibility of ASPL to return, when appropriate, the amount that the Client had paid for a renewal after the deadline that finally could not be done.
  • 2.10.- ASPL will in no case refund the amount of a renewal that was successful.
  • 2.11.- ASPL may inform the Client in the renewal notice and/or in the invoice of the conditions, new or not, that will be applied from the moment of renewal.
    The renewal of the Service will imply accepting these conditions, the Client not being authorized to carry out the renewal without accepting them.
  • 2.12.- On the working day prior to the deadline or expiration of the Service without the Client having made the payment corresponding to the renewal, ASPL will proceed to not renew the Service, with the consequences that this action derives, and will terminate the current contract. In any case, ASPL specifies that it will try to carry out this renewal if the Client so requests until the last day of the deadline, but it does not assume the responsibilities that may occur if it is not carried out on time due to non-compliance of the Client on the early renewal noted above.
  • 2.13.- The Service that is the object of this contract, unless expressly stated against it in its particular conditions, is subject to the free withdrawal of the Client within 15 days after the registration of the Service without any additional cost for this cancellation. After this period, the Client who does not want to continue with the Service may use the resolution indicated in these Conditions.

THIRD.- DURATION

  • 3.1.- The Service will have the duration requested by the Client based on the periods specified for each type of Service. If on the date of the expiration date of the Service the Customer had activated the automatic renewal of the Service, this will be extended for the same period as long as there is no return or incident with the payments made by the Customer in order to make that automatic renewal.
  • 3.2.- ASPL will in advance notify the Client via email that the automatic renewal will be carried out, so that the Client is fully informed of this situation and might, when appropriate, request the deactivation of that automatic renewal. If the Client does not have this option activated and does not want to continue with the Service, they must simply allow it to expire in such a way that if ASPL does not receive a renewal order, the contract expires on the same day as the expiration date of the Service.

FOUR.- SERVICE LEVEL AND NON-COMPLIANCE

  • 4.1.- ASPL will provide the Service to the Customer except when it cannot be due either to the Client or to a Force Majeure Case.
  • 4.2.- The level of service, unless the specific conditions of either the Client or the Service specify otherwise, will be 99.9% of the annual availability.
  • 4.3.- In the event that ASPL does not comply with the levels of service, ASPL must grant to the Customer a Compensation proportional to the time during which the Service was not provided and which in no case will exceed the monthly cost of the Service.
  • 4.4.- The Client and ASPL agree that the aforementioned Compensation is an ideal pre-estimate of the loss suffered by the Client in the event of such breach. ASPL does not guarantee, explicitly or implicitly, to obtain or guarantee any results of the Services.
  • 4.5.- The Client agrees that the Compensation will be by itself and exclusively the remedy to the breach of the Service Levels by ASPL.
  • 4.6.- For the calculation of the corresponding levels of service, performance or availability problems will not be counted:
    • 4.6.a.- Caused by Force Majeure cases.
    • 4.6.b.- Caused by non-ASPL software or hardware (for example, Client’s devices or networks, blacklists).
    • 4.6.c.- Derived from the use of hardware or software not provided by ASPL.
    • 4.6.d.- Caused by not respecting mandatory configurations, not complying with acceptable use policies or due to the use of a Service inconsistent with its characteristics and functionalities.
    • 4.6.e.- Originated by the Client’s attempts to carry out operations that exceed the pre-established quotas or due to limitations of the Service or limitations established by ASPL due to the suspicion of abusive behaviour.

  • 6.7.- ASPL does not guarantee at any time the total replacement of the data which might have changed during the time between the last copy and the deletion of the data.
