1.4. Effect

Smart Send ApS’s general terms and conditions apply to The User as from the date the terms and conditions are updated. The terms and conditions and/or specific conditions can only be deviated from if this has been agreed upon in writing between The Provider and The User.

2. SERVICE AND USE

2.1. The Service

The Provider provides a service that communicates and relays information between The User’s system and the freight companies’ systems (hereinafter “the Service”). The use of the Service thus requires The User to have a prior agreement with at least one of the freight companies supported by The Provider and access to their online TA system.

2.2. Use of the Service

The Service may only be used on the domain(s) that is/are linked to The User’s account and specified in accordance with the subscription agreement (hereinafter “the Subscription”) between The Provider and The User. The use of the Service thus requires a valid Subscription.

2.3. Delimitation

The Provider is not a carrier or freight forwarder as The Provider does not handle the physical freight. The Provider only provides a service that facilitates data transfer between The User’s system and the freight company’s TA system.

2.4. Shipping Cost

The Provider’s price only includes the services and modules offered by The Provider. Therefore, the price is exclusive of all freight costs and any service fees that may be charged by the freight company.

2.5. Storing user data

The Provider reserves the right to store and use data in connection with, for example, statistics and marketing. User data means information about the use of The Provider’s service and not personal data in accordance with the Danish Data Protection Act.

3. THE CUSTOMER’S DATA AND THE GENERAL DATA PROTECTION REGULATION (GDPR)

3.1. Shipping data

The data (hereinafter “Shipping Data”) that is transferred to and processed by The Provider contains personal data regarding The User’s customers. The User’s Shipping Data is transferred to third parties such as freight companies, TA systems, etc., only at the request of The User and in connection with the delivery of the Service.

3.2. Data Controller

The parties agree that The User is the data controller for any personal data The User uploads and processes in the Service and that The User owns and can freely manage their own data in the Service. The Agreement also regulates the processing of personal data carried out by The Provider in connection with the provision of the Service and, at the same time, thus constitutes the Data Processing Agreement that governs the processing of The User’s data.

3.3. Exporting

As far as is possible, the Service allows The User to export all indexes, data, etc., via the Service’s export function. Data that cannot be exported via the Service by The User on his/her own can be exported by The Provider at the request of The User. The User accepts that such exports must be completed by The User prior to the termination of the subscription. In the event that the subscription expires or is terminated by The User, The Provider, where appropriate and commercially viable, will aim to give The User a period of 10 days after termination in which the export function can be used.

3.4. Deletion of data

The Provider reserves the right to delete The User’s data 14 days after the end of the subscription for whatever reason, and The Provider has no obligation to retain data after this time.

3.5. Data storage

The Provider is entitled to retain The User’s data after termination in order to use this data in an anonymised form for statistical purposes and analysis of the Service.

3.6. Access to The User’s data

In exceptional cases, and if considered justifiable and reasonable by The Provider, The Provider may - for example, in the event of a value loss assessment - provide third parties and authorities with access to The User’s data, but only in accordance with the relevant data protection legislation, in connection with a court ruling, regulatory requirements, The User’s bankruptcy, death or the like.

3.7. Subcontractors

In connection with the operation of the Service, The Provider is entitled to use third-party subcontractors such as IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) suppliers and other technical third-party suppliers. The Provider is also entitled to transfer Shipping Data to such third-party suppliers. The Provider must enter into agreements with subcontractors whereby they agree to comply with the provisions of this Agreement.

3.8. Provider as Data Controller

In addition to processing Shipping Data as described above, The Provider will process personal data about buyers, users and other customer personnel that are in contact with The Provider in relation to The Agreement. Personal data is the registered parties’ names and contact information (phone numbers, email addresses, IP addresses, etc.) and information about the contact between each individual and The Provider.

The processing is performed in order to provide the Service to the Customer and for general business development purposes, including sales and marketing. The processing of said personal data is necessary for The Provider to deliver the Service in accordance with The Agreement.

The Provider will store personal data during the term of The Agreement and is permitted to store personal data for a reasonable time thereafter. However, in all cases, the data must be deleted once it is no longer necessary to store the data in relation to the above purposes unless the law obliges The Provider to continue to store the data in order to comply with statutory obligations applicable at the time such as tax or accounting rules.

4. ESTABLISHMENT OF SUBSCRIPTION AND INVOICING

The injured party must provide details of the breach in the written notice. Notwithstanding the above, The Provider reserves the right to suspend The User’s access to the Service with immediate effect in the event that The Provider, at its own discretion, determines that The User is in material breach of The Agreement.

7.3. Termination

The User is entitled to terminate the Subscription at any time, but no later than 1 day prior to the expiration date of the current period, cf. section 6.1. If The Provider has received notice of termination at least 1 days prior to the expiration date, The User’s Subscription will not be automatically renewed.

In the event of termination in the middle of a subscription period, The User will still have access to the features that the Subscription entitles to, until termination, in the remaining Subscription Period.

7.4. Refunds

If The User terminates the Subscription og deletes the account, cf. section 6.3, The User is not entitled to any form of refund. Therefore, The User has no claim to a refund of the remaining invoiced period.

8. COMPLAINTS

8.1. Claims

The User is obliged to immediately and no later than 14 days after receipt of the service perform a check on the service and examine the service for any defects or shortcomings. If The User finds or should have found defects or shortcomings in the service that were present at the time of delivery, The User shall immediately make a claim to The Provider regarding such defects or shortcomings. If the claim is not received in due time according to the above, the right to make a claim lapses.

8.2. Remedies

In the event of a timely claim being made, cf. section 7.1, The Provider can choose to remedy the shortcoming or provide a replacement.

8.3. Installation

The Provider is not responsible for any damage to The User’s system in connection with the installation, updating or configuration of the Service. The User is thus responsible for ensuring that The User’s system is compatible with an installation of the Service and that the necessary precautionary measures, such as performing a backup, have been carried out prior to installing, updating or configuring the Service. The Provider is not responsible for lost sales as a result of The User experiencing a system failure.

8.4. Compatibility

It is The User’s responsibility to ensure that the installed version of the Service is compatible with The User’s system. The Provider endeavours to continuously update the Service but does not commit to ensuring compatibility with future versions of The User’s system or changes to the shipping companies’ TA systems. It is the responsibility of The User to ensure compatibility between The Provider’s system and The User’s system.

8.5. Consequential and indirect losses

The Provider is not liable for direct or indirect losses arising from the use of the service. This applies regardless of the basis on which a claim is made and regardless of the degree of negligence.
