Certain additional paid services or features that Taqt may offer (such as additional cloud data storage and other premium subscription Services) may have additional or different terms. Taqt offers only the ability to access and/or use the Services, the Sites and Mobile Apps, and never sells or otherwise transfers ownership to any of them.
2. Subscriber Representation; Registration and User Accounts: You represent and warrant that: (i) if you are an individual, you are at least 18 years old and otherwise legally competent in all respects to enter into and be bound by these Terms; or (ii) if you are an entity, (A) you are a legal entity in good standing, (B) you possess all legal authority and power to enter into and be bound by these Terms, (C) the natural person who clicked “I Accept” to accept these terms had full corporate authority to do so, and you hereby bind your entity and all natural persons employed or engaged by your entity that may use the Services, the Sites and/or the Mobile Apps.

As a part of the registration process used by Taqt for you to create an account to access and use the Services, you must submit certain information as prompted, such as your name, email address, phone number, zip code/post code, and address. You may be prompted to provide additional optional information during setup which is not required to register for an account but may be necessary to provide you with full Services, to provide you with a trial of premium or other subscription-only services, or that might be helpful to Taqt in providing you with a more customized experience. This information could include, for example, payment information.

As part of the registration process, you will create a password that will allow you to log in to the Services. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and for all activities that occur on your account. You agree not to share your password, let others access or use your password, or do anything else that might jeopardize the security of your password. All the information that you provide when registering for an account and otherwise through the Sites and/or the Mobile Apps must be accurate, complete, and up to date. You may change, correct, or remove any information from your account by either logging into your account directly and making the desired changes or contacting Taqt’ support team.

1. Authority to Submit Data from Devices to the Services; License to Such Data: The Services collect, analyze and store data submitted from your IoT-enabled devices, including, without limitation, mobile devices (collectively, “Devices”) that are set up by you and connected to the Services in order to submit such data to the Services. You represent and warrant that you have full legal authority to submit data and information from any Devices that you connect to the Services. By using the Services and submitting such data from any Device, you hereby grant Taqt a worldwide, perpetual, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, distribute copies of, create derivative works of, and publicly display the information in connection with your use of the Services. Taqt is not responsible or otherwise liable for data submitted to the Services from Devices except as expressly set forth in these Terms.

Taqt does not verify the accuracy or ownership of the data or information submitted from Devices to the Services. You alone are responsible for determining: (i) the identity of those to whom you grant access to Devices, and (ii) the type, character, amount and nature of the data submitted from Devices to the Services.

1. Payment:

To the extent to which we sell Products and/or the Services to you for any fee or charge that we collect, you will be required to select a form of payment and provide us information regarding your credit card or other form of payment authorized by us. You represent and warrant that such information is true and correct and that you are authorized to use the selected form of payment. When you make a payment, you authorize us (and our designated payment processor(s)) to charge the full amount to the payment source you designate for the transaction. You acknowledge and agree that you are liable for any and all applicable sales and use taxes for any purchase you make based on the mailing address that you provide, and you authorize Taqt to charge your payment method for any such applicable taxes. You will promptly update your account information with any changes (for example, a change in your billing address or credit card expiration date) that may occur. You will pay us, in Euro or U.S Dollars, all fees and charges incurred in accordance with the authorized form of payment and these Terms. If you dispute any fees or charges, you must let us know within sixty (60) days after the date that we invoice or otherwise charge you, and give us the opportunity to remediate any problem that you believe entitles you to dispute those fees or charges. You hereby grant to us the right to fix any payment processing errors that we may discover, and the right to correct any such processing errors by debiting or crediting the payment method used for the transaction found to be in error.

We may charge your credit or debit card or account for your first fee for a subscription Service on the date upon which we process your order for that subscription Service, and on or about each monthly or annual anniversary thereafter. We may also obtain pre approval for an amount up to the amount of the transaction.  Once your payment method is charged the first fee for a subscription Service, we will send a confirmation email to the email address that you have provided. If you have any dispute with either any such charge or your request that it recur, you must notify us in accordance with Section 5.

You acknowledge and agree that the amounts billed each billing period for subscription Services may vary for reasons that may include differing amounts due to promotional offers or changing subscription Services or prices. You authorize Taqt to charge your payment method for such varying amounts, or provide you a credit, on your next billing cycle.

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT: (I) TAQT RESERVES THE RIGHT TO AUTOMATICALLY RENEW EACH SUBSCRIPTION SERVICE THAT YOU PURCHASE, ON OR ABOUT EACH MONTHLY OR ANNUAL ANNIVERSARY OF THE DATE UPON WHICH TAQT FIRST CHARGES YOU FOR THE SUBSCRIPTION SERVICE; AND (II) TAQT WILL HAVE THE RIGHT TO CHARGE YOU THE APPLICABLE MONTHLY OR ANNUAL SUBSCRIPTION FEE ALONG WITH ANY SALES OR SIMILAR TAXES THAT MAY BE IMPOSED THEREON UNLESS YOU CANCEL PRIOR TO THE RENEWAL DATE.

If Taqt is unable to successfully charge your payment method for any charges due, Taqt reserves the right to revoke or restrict access to the Services, delete your stored content and/or terminate your account. If you want to designate a different payment method, or if there is a change in status for your payment method, you may change your payment method by logging into your account and making all payment-related changes to your account profile. You hereby acknowledge and agree that making such changes may: (i) temporarily disrupt services while Taqt verifies your new payment information; and (ii) may result in a change to your payment billing date.

Your access to subscription Services may begin with a free trial for a limited period of time. If you receive a free trial, the specific offer terms will be as stated in the material describing the free trial offer. Free trials are for new Taqt customers only. You may not combine free trials with any other offers. Taqt reserves the right to determine and limit eligibility for any free trial. Once your free trial period ends, we will begin billing your payment method for the monthly or annual fee for subscription Services corresponding to the subscription you chose at the time of purchase (plus any applicable taxes), unless you properly and timely cancel. For that reason, you may be asked to set up a valid payment method for continuation charges when redeeming a free trial offer. If you wish to avoid charges to your payment method, you must cancel subscription Services prior to the last day specified therefor in the terms applicable to your free trial period.

1. Orders, Returns, Cancellations and Refunds:

Taqt will pack and ship each Product that comprises hardware (“Hardware”) in accordance with our standard practices and the rules of our shipping partners. We will charge you for shipping and handling. Scheduled shipment dates are estimates only, and, while Taqt will use commercially reasonable efforts to meet scheduled shipment dates, in no event will Taqt be liable for any loss, damage, or penalty resulting from any delay in shipment or delivery.

If you wish to cancel an order that Taqt has not yet fulfilled, or if you are not satisfied with the Hardware for any reason within thirty (30) calendar days of the original purchase date and would like to schedule a return (including to receive a refund of a purchase price), contact us via email at [email protected] or telephone at  (+33) 1 80 91 98 67 with your order details.

To qualify for a refund or credit (excluding shipping and handling, duties and taxes) you must:

• Contact Taqt with your order details within thirty (30) calendar days from your original order date, either in writing (via e-mail to [email protected]) or by telephone at (+33) 1 80 91 98 67, and obtain from Taqt a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA);
• Return the Hardware along with all parts/components included with your original shipment, each in its original packaging, to the shipping address set forth below using a shipper that provides you with a shipment tracking number (i.e. FedEx, UPS, DHL); and
• Include with your return shipment the valid RMA number provided by Taqt, plainly visible on the outside of the returned package.

Taqt reserves the right to reject and either dispose of or return to you, at your expense, any return that is sent other than in compliance with the foregoing specified instructions.

Agora Opinion’s GDPR Commitment

The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is in effect, and Agora Opinion is here to support you in meeting its requirements.

What Is GDPR?

GDPR is coming into effect on May 25, 2018. This regulation will set a new standard for how organizations collect, use, and protect EU citizens’ personal information. With the growing concern for data safety, this law is designed to restore the confidence of the public.

GDPR Implications For Your Organization

Whether or not your organization is based in the EU, all business that control or process personal information of EU citizens have to do so in accordance with the GDPR requirements.

As an employer, this means that you are responsible for ensuring that the personal information of your EU citizen employees is processed in accordance with the GDPR requirements.

Because of this, you are also responsible for ensuring that any workplace service providers that you use will process the personal information of your EU citizen employees in accordance with the GDPR requirements.

Agora Opinion’s Commitment Of Support In Your Organization’s GDPR Compliance

Agora Opinion is committed to supporting you in ensuring that your use of our workplace equipment meets the GDPR requirements.
Here are some of the measures that Agora Opinion has put in place to reflect that:

Agora Opinion’s Contractual Terms Reflect GDPR Requirements

Agora Opinion has prepared a Data Processing Addendum that contains the GDPR contractual requirements. Where applicable, this Data Processing Addendum is incorporated into our Terms of Service, available at https://www.agoraopinion.com/cgv.Our contractual commitments relevant to GDPR are that:

• Agora Opinion will be transparent and never use your customers’ and employees’ personal information other than as instructed by you,
• Agora Opinion will maintain appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect your customers’ and employees’ personal information,
• Agora Opinion will assist you with requests from your employees regarding their personal information that is processed using our services.

Agora Opinion Will Continue To Improve Its Security Infrastructures

Agora Opinion is committed to maintaining appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect your employees’ personal information in line with the GDPR requirements.
Our commitments to maintaining our security measures are as follows:

• Agora Opinion ensures that, to the extent possible, your employees’ personal information is pseudonymized,
• Agora Opinion ensures that your employees’ personal information is encrypted, both in transit and at rest,
• Agora Opinion has measures in place to ensure the ongoing confidentiality, integrity, availability, and resilience of Agora Opinion processing systems and services,
• Agora Opinion can restore the availability and access to your employees’ personal information in a timely manner in the event of a physical or technical incident, and
• Agora Opinion is putting in place a process for regularly testing, assessing, and evaluating the effectiveness of technical and organisational measures to ensure the security of your employees’ personal information.
• For more details regarding Agora Opinion’s commitment to invest in its security infrastructures, we invite you to read our Data Processing Addendum.

Agora Opinion Complies With GDPR International Data Transfer Mechanisms

GDPR does not require personal information of EU citizens to be stored in the EU. GDPR does, however, require transfers of EU citizens’ personal information outside of the EU to comply with certain international data transfer standards. One of these standards is that prior to transferring an EU citizen’s personal information to a third country, the European Commission must have decided that the third country ensures an adequate level of protection.

Agora Opinion is committed to ensuring that all transfers of your customers’ and employees’ personal information are and will be in compliance with the required international data transfer standards.

As your data processor, Agora Opinion transfers your customers’ and employees’ personal information to only two third-party subprocessors : our data center provider and our database service management provider. Both of these subprocessors are certified under the E.U.-U.S. Privacy Shield, a framework negotiated and agreed upon by the European Commission and U.S. Department of Commerce as a lawful way of transferring personal data.

Agora Opinion’s Products Are Designed To Help You Meet Your GDPR Requirements

Agora Opinion is committed to making every effort to build product features that help you meet your GDPR requirements.

Agora Opinion ensures that you can meet the GDPR data portability requirements by providing, among others, features that permit you to export some of the employees’ personal information.

Agora Opinion is here for you. Please contact our customer support team if you have any GDPR-specific questions.
