This is a contract between You (later; “Customer”, “You”, “Your” or “User”) and us, Seidat Ltd. (later; “Company”, “We”, “Us”, “Seidat”). The contract summarizes the Terms of Service (later; “Terms and Conditions”) of using our product (later; “Service” or “Seidat Platform”).

Seidat reserves the right to update and change these Terms and Conditions without prior notice. Users will be notified about the updates and changes via email or in-app notification. By continuing the use of the Service You accept the latest Terms and Conditions.

Seidat has the right to terminate any account based on violations of these Terms and Conditions.

Account Terms

During registration (signup process) you must provide your full legal name, valid email address, and any requested information to complete the signup. Creating an account is limited to persons over 16 years old.
To register for and use the Seidat Platform, you are required to (1) be 16 or older, (2) have the power to enter a binding contract with us, and not be barred from doing so under any applicable laws. You also promise that any registration information that you submit to Seidat is true, accurate, and complete, and you agree to keep it that way at all times.
Your Account is personal and may not be used by others. You are required to keep your login details safe and private. An account can be used in up to three different browsers or devices at the same time.
You are responsible for maintaining the security of your Account and password. We will not and cannot be liable for any loss from a User’s failure to keep their Account and password safe.
You have to be human. Accounts created by “bots” or through other automated ways are not allowed and will be terminated.
It is the responsibility of the User and/or the Team Owner to make sure that any content or material created, uploaded, posted, or shared through the service is legal and legally used. Seidat is not responsible for and cannot be held liable for User or Team content.
Illegal material and activity are strictly forbidden. The User is always required to obey all local, state, and international laws in the jurisdiction they are in when using the Service (including but not limited to copyright laws).
The User is ultimately responsible for all content posted, shared, and any activity that occurs under the User’s account. Seidat will never ask for the User’s login credentials (other than through the Service to ascertain Account ownership), and will never act through the User’s Account.

Team Terms

A Seidat Team is a “loginless group account” intended for collaboration. To access, modify or share Team content or settings, team members have to connect through their own, personal Accounts. Any content created for or uploaded to a Team is held by the team and visible and editable by any team member who has the necessary permissions. The Team Owner(s) will always have access to all team content. A Team can have several owners.
Team Subscriptions (later; “Subscription Plan”) are currently only available to registered organisations (companies, charities, governments, universities, etc.).
The Team Owner can assign permissions to other Team members to act on behalf of the team. These include but are not limited to managing team members, content, settings, and billing.
Each User can be part of multiple teams. A User’s account can be added to a team by the Team Owner or Team Admin. If a User is removed from a team they will lose access to the Team and its content, including any content created or uploaded by the User to the Team. Being removed from a team does not affect the content of other Teams where the User is a member.
The amount of team members, including the Team Owners, is limited by the amount of seats that the Team owns. Each seat can only hold a single Account. If a team has 3 members (Accounts), they require 3 seats. If a User is part of multiple Teams, they will occupy a seat in each Team. Free users (Seidat employees and selected partners) do not occupy seats.
New teams are normally granted a free trial period of their first 14-days. The Team Owner or admins must provide the necessary payment details, through the Service or as instructed by Seidat, to continue using the service at the end of the trial period. The Team Owner will be notified either by email or in-app that the trial is coming to an end. The trial is intended for new customers, and may not be granted multiple times to a single organisation.

Payment, Refunds, Upgrading and Downgrading Terms

Use of the service as an individual user is free. Subscriptions are billed based on the specific plan and the amount of seats unless otherwise agreed through a separate agreement.
Current pricing for Team Subscriptions can be found on our pricing page or by contacting sales.
The Billing Cycle (later; “Billing Period”) is a month, a year or any other length agreed by Seidat and Customer, according to your chosen Subscription Plan, starting from the moment you subscribed. Billing is done at the start of a Subscription Period.
Currently accepted payment methods are credit and debit cards, as well as invoicing.
Customers paying by card will be charged as the new subscription period starts.
Customers who have chosen invoicing as their payment method will be billed up to one (1) month before a Billing Period starts. All amounts are payable within ten (10) days, from the date of the invoice, unless otherwise specified in the contract.
The Customer authorizes Seidat to store all invoicing details on our servers if invoicing is chosen as the billing method. Customers are responsible to ensure that the right billing information is filled in their Team.
Seidat’s bank accounts are located in Finland and prices are set in euros. Seidat is not responsible for any fees Your bank or credit card company may charge for currency conversion or payments abroad.
If a subscription is not paid for on time, the account or team will be frozen until the outstanding charges have been paid. The Account or Team and all its content remain, but content access will be blocked.
We use Stripe as a third-party partner to handle all debit and credit card charges. Stripe is a fully certified payment service provider and has verified PCI level 1 security status. Sensitive card information (number, CVC) will be sent directly to Stripe and stored by them. We only store the last four digits and the expiration date.
The Customer authorizes Seidat to use Stripe as a third-party partner to handle credit card details and charges based on your Subscription Plan. Customers also accept that Seidat stores the last four digits and expiration date on our servers.
Upgrades and changes to a Subscription can be done by the Account or Team Owner at any time through the Seidat Platform.
Changing the subscription plan will start a new billing period. Any unused time on the old plan will count towards the new subscription. Any customization to the basic plan (such as added seats) will not affect the billing period. These additional extra seats are invoiced after the change or charged immediately .
An exception to 13. are discontinued per-seat plans where a change in the subscription will not change the billing period. In the case of discontinued per-seat plans, billable changes and upgrades (such as added seats) are prorated from the following day. On monthly plans, the proration is added to the following charge or invoice. On yearly plans, the proration is charged or invoiced within a billing day.
No refunds are issued on downgrades. Negative prorations (credit) will count towards future charges. Subscription downgrades can be done at any time. Downgrades done after the billing period has already been changed, will not affect already generated invoices or charges.
Downgrading your Service may cause the loss of features or capacity of your account. Seidat has no liability for such loss.
Seidat will inform customers of changes in their pricing at least one month before the change. The information will be made available either at the website or in the Service and by email. Customers will have the possibility to change their subscription before the change in prices through the service or by contacting sales. The fees remain fixed for each Billing Cycle.
All fees are exclusive of all taxes, levies, or duties imposed by taxing authorities in your local jurisdiction. The Customer is responsible for payment of all such taxes, levies, or duties, excluding only Finnish Value Added Tax (VAT or ALV). The Company will collect these taxes on behalf of the customer’s company and pay them to the tax authority.
Customers in the EU VAT area must provide a valid VAT number to Seidat.

Cancellation and Termination

Seidat has the right to block, suspend (deactivate) or terminate (delete) any account based on violations of these Terms and Conditions. Seidat also has the right to deny any future use of the Service for such reason.
Seidat has the right to cancel the free use of the Service at any time for any reason and any paid subscription by the end of paying period by giving prior notice.
Accounts and Teams that are frozen or otherwise lacking activity (login, access, or payment) for one (1) year are deemed inactive. Any inactive account or team may be permanently removed. The Account Owner(s) will be notified by email before any action is taken.
Account deletion can be made on request, by emailing support@seidat.com. When an account is deleted all content (presentations, pictures, etc.) will be permanently erased. Cached content may temporarily remain on some servers.
The user is free to cancel their Subscription Plan at any time. Cancellation does not result in immediate removal of content from the Service but will result in access to content being blocked, at the end of the current Billing Period.
Customers can cancel their Subscription Plan through the app or by contacting support@seidat.com. Neglecting any bills from the Company is not considered a cancellation of the Subscription Plan. Outstanding payments will still be charged or billed despite a subscription being canceled.
Customers paying by invoice have a 14 day termination period. Any cancellations done less than 14 days before the new Billing Period will not prevent a charge for the upcoming period. Customers with card as payment method have no termination period and can cancel at any time before the billing period changes to avoid being charged for the next period.
