By accepting these Terms, You warrant that you and all Affiliates or any other entities to which You have given access to your account by proxy – e.g., your accountant – will use LUCY in a professional capacity and not as a consumer.
These Terms supersede any other related requests, verbal or in writing, to submit an offer, proposal, proposition, guarantee, warrant, agreement, communication or commitment.

‍

2. SCOPE OF THE SERVICES

LUCY will provide the Services to the User commencing on the Effective Date, or any later date that may be specified in this Agreement for any specified Services or locations and continuing during the term of this Agreement.
The Services are not intended to serve as legal archive for the information and documents uploaded to the Website.
The User agrees that LUCY registers the Company on the Peppol network in order to automate the invoicing flow. The user can cancel the activation free of charge via support.
LUCY shall use its best efforts to perform the Services in material accordance with these Terms. LUCY will use reasonable care and judgment in rendering the Services and all Services will be of professional and technical quality consistent with applicable industry standards. Nevertheless, it may, without being held to any compensation but subject to prior notice to the User, proceed with an interruption of the Services for the purpose of maintaining or improving them, or where according to LUCY, suspension of the Services will prevent or usefully inhibit any illegal or unauthorized activity.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of these Terms, LUCY may make background changes to the manner of its delivery of the Services, standards, operation procedures, accessibility periods, allocation and quantity of system resources used and administrative and operational methods, systems or algorithms, provided, however, that LUCY will implement such background changes so as not to materially and adversely affect the Services. Background changes will not cause an increase to the charges, unless otherwise agreed. If such changes cause a material adverse effect on the Services, the User has the right to terminate the related Service without being due any damages to LUCY.
In order to enjoy the full functionality of the Services, you are required to be connected to the Internet. This may require an Internet subscription with your telecom provider for which your provider may charge you. You acknowledge that Provider has no control over the carrier charges that may apply and does not carry any responsibility in this regard.

‍

3. OBLIGATIONS OF THE USER

Commencing on the Effective Date and continuing throughout the term of this Agreement, the User shall execute its obligations as set forth in this Agreement.
The User remains responsible for the management of the relationship with its own customers. Any contract for the supply of goods and services between the User and its customers is not affected by this Agreement. LUCY is not responsible for the actual supply of any goods or services by the User to his customer. The User, and not LUCY, is responsible for any disputes related thereto, including requests for refund, disputes related to unauthorized transactions or incorrect execution of payment transactions, or fraud attempts by customers of the User. All such disputes are resolved directly between the User and its customer.
User acknowledges and accepts that login credentials for gaining access to the Services are personal and cannot be shared with others. Any unauthorized use of login credentials not resulting from a security breach at the side of LUCY, shall be User’s own responsibility and happen at User’s own risk. If a User suspects that User’s login credentials are being misused, User must contact Provider as soon as possible (info@getlucy.ai) so that access rights for these credentials can be revoked.
LUCY may from time to time issue updates or upgrades. Should this involve an update or upgrade by the User, he shall install any update or upgrade within ninety (90) days of such update or upgrade being made available to the User in accordance with any reasonable instructions given by LUCY.
In order to facilitate LUCY’s performance of the Services, the User will, at its own cost and expense, perform those tasks and fulfil those responsibilities of the User as set forth in this Agreement, including any functions retained by the User that are relevant to the Services.
The User understands that LUCY’s performance of the Services may be dependent on the User’s timely and effective performance of its responsibilities under this Agreement. If the User fails to comply with its obligations under this Agreement, it agrees to bear all costs and charges related to the extra services performed by LUCY to remedy any issues resulting from the User’s shortcoming to comply with its obligations.
The User shall obtain all necessary licenses, approvals, permits and consents required, if any, by any applicable governmental or regulatory authority or body necessary for the User to use the Services. The User shall use the Services in accordance with and subject to all provisions of applicable law.
The User is responsible for all information and content uploaded or provided in connection with the Services. LUCY is not responsible for verifying the accuracy or correctness of the information the User or third parties provide. LUCY can therefore not be held liable for any of the User’s content or information. The User who uploads content or information to the Services that proves damaging to others and results in a claim being brought against LUCY, will defend, hold harmless and indemnify LUCY in any ensuing legal proceedings.
Violation of these terms and conditions by User can result in the immediate termination of the Agreement, without prior notice, and without prior recourse to a judge.

Provider may also suspend the execution of this Agreement, deny or restrict access to the Services at any time:
- if Provider becomes aware of facts that jeopardize the relationship of trust between the User and Provider or that harm or threaten to harm the Provider’s reputation;

- in the event of technical issues; or

Upon termination of the Agreement all personal information and content you uploaded or included into your profile shall be anonymized and/or aggregated and the remainder deleted and destroyed by Provider, unless a legal or regulatory obligation or a judicial or administrative order prevents Provider to do so.

Upon termination of the Agreement you will cease using any and all of Provider’s intellectual property.

‍

5. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

Nothing under Agreement shall entail a transfer of any intellectual, industrial or other proprietary rights to the User, and the charges paid by the User to LUCY shall not include any compensation for a transfer of any intellectual, industrial or other proprietary rights.
Any intellectual, industrial or other proprietary rights with respect to works created by LUCY, its employees, its consultants or its subcontractors, whether or not created in the performance of the Agreement, such as software, the documentation and any materials, documents, drawings, technology, skills, know-how and information related to the software, whether or not preceding the Effective Date of this Agreement, shall be vested exclusively in or licensed to LUCY and/or its respective licensors as the case may be.
LUCY grants to the User during the term of this Agreement, a non-exclusive, non-assignable worldwide license without right to grant sub-licenses to use the LUCY Services for the specific purposes as explicitly set forth in this Agreement.

Unless otherwise agreed between the Parties the User shall not resell or permit the resale directly or indirectly, whether or not for profit, of the Services.
Any intellectual, industrial or other proprietary rights with respect to any adjustments, modifications and updates to the Services or to any materials, documents, technology, drawings, skills, know-how and information related to the Services, or software, that have been made as a result of information, advice or any know-how originating from the User shall be vested exclusively in LUCY. The User shall refrain from claiming any rights related to the aforementioned intellectual, industrial or other proprietary rights or any similar protection, and from taking any steps to obtain a registration, filing or protection of any alleged rights related thereto.
If the performance of the Services entails the supply of licenses for third party software, the User undertakes to strictly comply with the license conditions as supplied by the relevant third-party software suppliers.
The User grants to LUCY during the term of this Agreement, a non-exclusive, non-assignable worldwide license without right to grant sub-licenses to use and display the name and logo of the User on LUCY’s website and in its communication and to mention User as customer.

6. PERSONAL DATA PROCESSING

Personal data processing activities will be conducted in compliance with applicable privacy and data protection legislation including, but not limited to, the General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) and its implementing measures.
LUCY will in some cases act as data controller with respect to the processing of personal data in the context of this Agreement and in other cases as processor. This is further described in the Privacy Policy, available at https://www.getlucy.ai.
The Privacy Policy provides natural persons whose personal data are processed by LUCY with all legally required information regarding the personal data LUCY processes about them, the reasons for which their personal data are processed and their rights in relation to such processing.
All personal data processed in the context of this Agreement will be considered as Confidential Information.
The User recognizes that LUCY has to process certain personal data to be able to provide accounting and billing services, the User explicitly consents that its personal data is processed for the purposes and on the legal grounds set forth in the Privacy Policy.

‍

7. FORCE MAJEURE

Force Majeure Events shall relieve either Party, for so long as such event continues, from those of its obligations under these Terms, provided that such Party promptly notifies the other Party in writing describing the Force Majeure Event and immediately continues the performance of the obligations concerned when and to the extent that the Force Majeure Event is removed. Neither Party shall be entitled to claim damages for any non-performance by the other Party of any of its contractual obligations resulting from a Force Majeure Event.
For the purposes of these Terms, a Force Majeure Event will be regarded as circumstances beyond the control of the party invoking the force majeure and that could not reasonably have been foreseen and that prevent the total or partial performance of any obligation under (i) these Terms, or (ii) any agreement or document further thereto, including acts of God or public enemy, civil war, insurrection or riot, fire, flood, explosion, earthquake, electrical disconnection as a result of any of the above events, national emergency, act or omission of any governmental authority or agency, inability to procure equipment, data or materials from suppliers.

‍

8. CONFIDENTIALITY

Confidential Information means any non-public, commercially proprietary or sensitive information or materials belonging to, concerning or in the possession or control of (i) a Party, or (ii) a third party in respect of which that Party is obliged to keep the information confidential (collectively, the “Disclosing Party”); in each case, which is disclosed to or otherwise made available to the other Party (or entities or persons acting on the other Party’s behalf) (the “Receiving Party”) in connection with this Agreement (including information received during prior negotiations, site visits and meetings) that is either marked or identified in writing as confidential, proprietary, secret or with another designation sufficient to give notice of its sensitive nature, or is of a type that a reasonable person would recognize it to be commercially sensitive.
Confidential Information does not include any particular information of the Disclosing Party (other than personal identifying information) that the Receiving Party can demonstrate: (1) was in the possession of, or was rightfully known by, the Receiving Party without an obligation to maintain its confidentiality prior to receipt from the Disclosing Party; (2) was or has become generally available to the public other than as a result of disclosure by the Receiving Party or its agents; (3) after disclosure to the Receiving Party, was received from a third party who, to the Receiving Party’s knowledge, had a lawful right to disclose such information to the Receiving Party without any obligation to restrict its further use or disclosure; (4) was independently developed by the Receiving Party without use of or reference to any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party; or (5) that the Disclosing Party has disclosed to unaffiliated third parties without similar restrictions.
Each Party acknowledges that it may be furnished, receive or otherwise have access to Confidential Information of the other Party in connection with this Agreement. The Receiving Party will keep the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party confidential and secure and will protect it from unauthorized use or disclosure by using at least the same degree of care as the Receiving Party employs to avoid unauthorized use or disclosure of its own Confidential Information of a similar nature, but in no event less than reasonable care.
If the Receiving Party becomes legally compelled to disclose any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party in a manner not otherwise permitted by this Agreement, the Receiving Party will provide the Disclosing Party with prompt notice of the request (unless legally precluded from doing so) so that the Disclosing Party may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy. If a protective order or similar order is not obtained by the date by which the Receiving Party must comply with the request, the Receiving Party may furnish that portion of the Confidential Information that it determines it is legally required to furnish.
Each Party’s Confidential Information will remain the property of that Party. Nothing contained in this Agreement will be construed as obligating a Party to disclose its Confidential Information to the other Party, or as granting to or conferring on a Party, expressly or by implication, any rights or license to the Confidential Information of the other Party. Any such obligation or grant will only be as provided by other provisions of this Agreement.
As requested by the Disclosing Party during the term of this Agreement, the Receiving Party will return or provide the Disclosing Party a copy of any designated Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party. When Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party is no longer required for the Receiving Party’s performance under this Agreement, or in any event upon expiration or termination of this Agreement, the Receiving Party will return all materials in any medium that contain, refer to, or relate to Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party or, at the Disclosing Party’s election, destroy them.
The Receiving Party’s obligations apply to Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party made available to the Receiving Party before or after the signature of this Agreement and will continue during its term and survive its expiration or termination as follows: (1) The Receiving Party’s obligations will continue in effect until fully performed; (2) As to any portion of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information that constitutes a trade secret under applicable law, the obligations will continue for as long as the information continues to constitute a trade secret; (3) As to any portion of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information that constitutes personal identifying information, the obligation will continue in perpetuity; and (4) As to all other Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, the obligations will survive for two years after the Receiving Party’s return or destruction of all copies of the Confidential Information in question.

10. MISCELLANEOUS

Provider will be entitled to rely at its own discretion on subcontractors for the fulfilment of its obligations under this Agreement.

However, if one or more provisions of these Terms are found to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, in whole or in part, the remainder of that provision and of these Terms shall remain in full force and effect as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein. Moreover, in such an event, Provider shall amend the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision(s) or any part thereof and/or agree on a new provision, in such a way as to reflect insofar as possible the purpose of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision(s).
This Agreement and all respective rights and obligations of the Parties shall be governed by and shall be construed in accordance with the laws of Belgium without reference to its conflict-of-laws or similar provisions that would mandate or permit application of the substantive law of any other jurisdiction. The parties hereby undertake to apply the CEPANI mediation rules to all disputes arising out of or in relation to this Agreement. Any dispute arising out of the implementation or interpretation of this Agreement shall, in the absence of an amicable solution being reached between the Parties or failure of mediation, be finally settled by the courts in Ghent. LUCY always has the right to start legal proceedings before the courts in Ghent for due invoices.
