Date updated: 3 Nov 2022

We have drawn up these Terms of Use (the “Terms”) so that you are aware of the rules governing our relationship with you, as an employee, member or collaborator of the legal entity that holds the licence for the Platform (or programme). These Terms and Conditions constitute a legally binding contract between you (hereinafter, “USER“) and DoGood People, S.L. (hereinafter, “DoGood“), as well as other entities that are party to the contractual relationship, (hereinafter all referred to as the “Parties“).

These Terms of Use also apply to our relationship with you if you access as an individual user as part of a demonstration, testing or temporary “demo” of the Programme. In such a case, references to the relationship with THE CUSTOMER shall not apply.

INTRODUCTION

As a USER of the Programme distributed by DoGood, you have accessed a programme for the information, awareness and participation of your members and collaborators in the corporate sustainability strategy of your organisation (THE CUSTOMER).

The Programme is operated as a Software as a Service (SaaS) or in the cloud by DoGood People, S.L. and the designated SaaS service provider AMAZON AWS (hereinafter referred to as AWS). This document regulates the conditions of use of the Platform and its express acceptance is necessary for access to the service by the USER.

FIRST – GRANTING OF A LICENCE TO USE THE PLATFORM

As the exclusive owner of all intellectual property rights of the Software, which includes the Software itself, the technical documentation of the Software and the user manuals, excluding, therefore, the related legal technical documentation, DoGood grants to the USER, through the CLIENT, a personal, revocable, non-transferable, non-exclusive and non-sublicensable licence to use the Software, with the powers established under the contract signed between DoGood and the CLIENT.

The duration of this licence shall be as set out in the contract between DoGood and THE CUSTOMER.

The Programme is hosted on servers owned by AWS, DoGood’s service provider, located in its Data Centre in Germany. DoGood and AWS will allow the USER to access the programme by means of instructions sent to the USER by e-mail, with the URL determined for this purpose, by means of a user name and password that will be communicated in writing by DoGood to the USER.

The use of the Programme shall be made under the conditions and for the purposes set out in the contract between DoGood and the CLIENT.

In case of access as an individual user as part of a demonstration, testing or temporary “demo” of the Software, DoGood grants the USER a personal, revocable, non-transferable, non-exclusive and non-sublicensable licence to use the Software for the period necessary for the purpose of learning how the Software and the application work as agreed between the parties, under the conditions established between DoGood and the USER through the commercial relationship, and under the conditions set out in this document.

THE USER may not alter or transform the program, its technical documentation or user manuals, nor apply reverse engineering techniques, decompile or disassemble the Program, or perform any other operation that tends to discover the source code.

The licence of use is non-transferable and THE USER may not transfer, in any form, any right to exploit THE PROGRAMME nor may he/she lease it or allow it to be exploited by any third party.

The Programme is protected by the provisions of applicable intellectual property law. Accordingly, the USER shall use the Programme in accordance with the provisions of applicable law and these Terms and Conditions. In the event of any violation of the aforementioned legislation, or any other violation that prevents or limits its legitimate rights, both DoGood and AWS may take any action it deems appropriate in defence of its interests, as well as seek damages.

THE USER may use the Programme and the functionalities available through the Internet connection, but may not make any copy of the same, not even a backup copy, without prejudice to the maintenance of ownership of the information entered and processed by and the backup copies that may be made of the same.

SECOND. – ACCESS TO THE PLATFORM AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.

Access to the Programme is by means of a login and a password. An entity and user profiles will be created for the USER after successful completion of the order registration process. The identification codes and access codes provided to the USER are of a personal nature and are non-transferable, and the USER is obliged to inform DoGood of any changes or modifications that may occur in their data.

It is the responsibility of the USER to exercise due diligence to prevent access or use by third parties who access or use the identification codes or passwords on their behalf. Likewise, THE USER is solely responsible for the choice, loss, theft or unauthorised use of any identification code or password and for the consequences that may arise from this. THE USER agrees to:

1. a) Diligent use of access codes.
2. b) To maintain the secrecy and confidentiality of the same, not to cede their use to third parties, either temporarily or permanently, nor to allow access to them to outsiders.
3. c) Immediately notify DoGood of any loss, theft, misplacement, unauthorised access or breach of security of the passwords as soon as possible. As long as such facts are not communicated, DoGood is exempt from any liability that may arise from the misuse of identifiers or passwords by unauthorised third parties.
4. (d) be accountable for the activities carried out through the use of the access key. In accordance with the provisions of Law 34/2002, of 11 July, on Information Society Services and Electronic Commerce (hereinafter LSSI) and to the extent applicable to the contract between DoGood and THE CLIENT.
5. e) The USER acknowledges and agrees that DoGood does not control the USER’s use of the Software and has no actual knowledge as to whether the activity or data or information submitted by the USER for processing by the Software and storage on AWS servers located in its Data Center in France is unlawful or injurious to the property or rights of any third party. For this purpose, THE USER declares and guarantees that the data and information are his property or that he has an authorisation or licence that allows him to process the data and information and transmit them over the Internet.

Therefore, the responsibility for this information and the activities carried out are exclusively that of the USER, who exempts DoGood from any liability arising from this information or the activity related to its processing by the Programme and the temporary and transitory storage on the servers of DoGood’s provider.

In accordance with the provisions of the LSSI, in relation to the liability of providers of data hosting or storage services, providers of an intermediation service consisting of hosting data provided by the recipient of this service shall not be liable for the information stored at the request of the recipient, provided that:

1. (a) they do not have actual knowledge that the activity or information stored is unlawful or that it harms the property or rights of a third party subject to compensation; or
2. (b) If they have it, act diligently to remove the data or make it inaccessible. The service provider shall be deemed to have the actual knowledge referred to in paragraph. (a) where a competent body has declared the data to be unlawful, ordered their removal or made access to them impossible, or where the existence of the damage has been declared, and the provider is aware of the corresponding decision, without prejudice to the procedures for detecting and removing content that providers apply by virtue of voluntary agreements and other means of effective knowledge that may be established.

According to the provisions of article 11 of the LSSI, DoGood has the obligation to collaborate with the competent authority, so DoGood will interrupt the provision of the service and the use of the Programme when a competent body, by reason of the matter, orders it in the exercise of the functions legally attributed to it, as well as providing the data that may be required by the security forces and bodies by judicial order.

DoGood shall not be liable for any damages, expenses or losses, whether special, direct or indirect (including, but not limited to, lost profits, business interruption or loss of information) arising out of the use or inability to use the Programme for any reason attributable to DoGood, whether for maintaining the level of service stipulated in the contract or for any other reason for which DoGood is responsible.

In the event that use of the Software (or portions thereof) within the scope of the licence would be a cause of suit or legal action for alleged infringement of the rights of third parties and such use would result in such infringement, DoGood, on its own initiative and at its own expense, may make such modifications or changes as are necessary to enable the USER to continue to use the Software (or parts thereof), replace it with software of equivalent functionality and effectiveness that does not infringe the rights of such third parties, or pay a reasonable portion of the royalties paid in order to compensate the USER for the termination of the use of the Software (or part thereof).

Furthermore, DoGood cannot guarantee the usefulness of the information and/or services of the Programme.

DoGood does not guarantee and is not responsible for: (i) the absence of viruses and/or other harmful components in the Programme or the server that provides it; (ii) the invulnerability of the Programme and/or the impregnability of the security measures adopted therein; (iii) lack of usefulness or performance of the Programme; (iv) failures of the Programme caused by any attack on the servers of DoGood and AWS’s third party service providers, as well as technical or system security failures of any such third party service providers that prevent the operation of the Programme; (v) any technical failure of any kind that hinders, delays or prevents the proper functioning of the Programme, and (vi) any damage or harm caused, either to himself or to a third party, by any person who violates the conditions, rules and instructions set out in the Programme or through the violation of the Programme’s security systems.

Nevertheless, DoGood declares that it has taken all necessary measures, within its means, to require the provider to ensure the functioning of the Programme and to prevent the existence and transmission of viruses and other harmful components to users’ computer systems.

If the user becomes aware of the existence of any content that is illicit, illegal, contrary to the law or that could involve an infringement of intellectual or industrial property rights, of the applicable regulations on the protection of personal data and/or any other right, he/she must notify DoGood immediately so that it can proceed to adopt the appropriate measures.

The use of the Programme by the USER does not guarantee the USER’s compliance with all its obligations in terms of compliance that are attributed to it by the applicable regulations, and under no circumstances shall DoGood be held responsible for the USER’s failure to comply with any of these obligations.

In any case, DoGood reserves the right to suspend, modify, restrict or interrupt, either temporarily or permanently, the access, browsing, use, hosting and/or downloading of the content and/or use of the Programme, with or without prior notice, to USERS who contravene any of the provisions detailed in these Conditions, without the possibility of the user being able to claim any compensation for this cause.

THIRD.- OWNERSHIP OF THE INFORMATION ENTERED ON THE PLATFORM

DoGood acknowledges that the information that the USER enters into the Programme is the exclusive property of the USER and, where applicable, the CLIENT.

DoGood may access data and information owned by the USER and/or CUSTOMER entered into the Programme solely for the purpose of providing maintenance and support services for the Programme.

DoGood undertakes to maintain the utmost confidentiality and secrecy regarding the data entered by the USER in the Programme. Information and data that was in the public domain or in the possession of DoGood prior to the commencement of the provision of its services and obtained by lawful means shall not be considered confidential.

DoGood undertakes not to disclose, transfer, assign or otherwise communicate the data contained in the application, whether verbally, in writing, by electronic means, on paper or by computer access, even for storage purposes, to any third party. To this end, DoGood may only grant access to the data to those employees who need to know the data in order to provide the contracted services.
