6. Payment and billing

Chargeable Services

Certain Services are currently (or will in future) be subject to a charge. An overview of the chargeable Services, together with a description, can be found at https://dyneum.io/pricing.
The Terms of Payment to be observed within the scope of registration and use of said chargeable Services form part of these General Terms and Conditions.

Billing

We use an external payment service provider to bill for chargeable Services. Billing is done via a payment account (billing account) that is linked to your account with Dyneum. When processing payments, the respective terms and conditions and data protection guidelines of the respective payment service provider apply in addition to these General Terms and Conditions. We are not responsible for any errors made by the payment service provider. By registering for and using chargeable Services, you agree to pay us, through the Payment Provider, all fees (at the then prevailing rates) for the use of chargeable Services in accordance with the applicable payment terms. You authorise us to debit your chosen payment method via the payment service provider.

Payment method

The terms of your payment will depend on your payment method and may be determined by agreements between you and the financial institution, credit card issuer or other provider of your chosen payment method, including cryptocurrencies. In the event that we do not receive payment from you through the payment service provider, you agree to pay all amounts due on your billing account upon demand.

Cryptocurrencies

With regard to cryptocurrency payments relating to the Services, Dyneum hosts and manages every blockchain and cryptocurrency node offered. All our clients retain full control of their personal wallets used to collect cryptocurrencies received directly from their clients in exchange of the goods and services sold through Dyneum Services. All Dyneum’s clients are aware and acknowledge that Dyneum (i) will only be allowed to collect its fees for the chargeable Services directly from their personal wallets, and (ii) does not intermediate by any means any cryptocurrency payment from/to their customers for the goods and services sold through the Services.

Recurring billing

For some chargeable Services (you can view these at https://dyneum.io/pricing), you will either pay no fees initially or there will be a one-off fee. We will bill you a recurring amount at regular intervals (monthly, annually). By choosing a fee-based service that provides for recurring payments, you hereby agree to pay the initial amount due at the time the contract is entered into and the recurring fees as they become due.

Change of the authorised amount

If the amount to be debited from your billing account is different from the amount you have pre-authorised (other than due to the collection or change in the amount of statutory VAT), we will notify you of the amount to be debited and the date of the debit in good time before the scheduled date of the transaction. You hereby agree that we may accumulate accrued fees and submit them to your payment service provider as one or more aggregate fees during (or at the end of) each billing cycle.

Reconfirmation of authorisation

By not cancelling (or continuing) to use a chargeable Service, you hereby acknowledge that we are entitled to debit your payment method for said chargeable Service. We are entitled to claim our chargeable fees relating to Dyneum Services from your payment service provider. You are responsible for ensuring that your account with the relevant payment service provider is sufficiently funded, in order that we can collect the fees. This does not mean that we waive our right to claim payment directly from you. With specific regard to cryptocurrency payments, we are entitled to claim our chargeable fees relating to Dyneum Services from the personal wallet you will use in relation to payment from/to your customers for the goods and services sold through the Service.

Free trials and other promotions

Free trials and other promotions that provide access to a Chargeable Service may only be used within the specified trial period. If you continue to access a chargeable Service after the expiry of this period, you thereby implicitly agree to continue using the service and to pay the fee charged for it (you can find this in the price list https://dyneum.io/pricing). If you cancel the chargeable Service before the end of the trial period, you will not be charged. If you cancel before the end of the trial period and are inadvertently charged for a chargeable Service, please contact us at support@dyneum.io.

7. Termination of Services

We may terminate your access to all (or part of) the Dyneum Services for any of the following reasons without notice and with immediate effect:

  • In the event of serious breaches of these General Terms and Conditions.
    (in particular, in the event of a breach of the Rules of Conduct), as well as applicable
    laws, rules and regulations;
  • In the event of minor breaches of these General Terms and Conditions, applicable laws, regulations and ordinances.

In order to cancel your account, please follow the instructions on the website or contact Dyneum Support.

To the extent that one party terminates the contractual relationship, this shall entail the following consequences:

  • Dyneum will block your access to the data. Dyneum will no longer provide its services.
  • Dyneum will not have to reimburse you for fees lawfully charged.
  • If you owe Dyneum fees, they shall become due immediately and in full.
  • Dyneum will take the shop website offline.

All provisions of these General Terms and Conditions which, by their nature, survive the process of termination – including (but not limited to) ownership provisions, warranty exclusions, indemnities and limitations of liability – shall survive the termination of the business relationship.

8. Warranty

We have no special relationship with you or fiduciary duty vis-a-vis you. You hereby acknowledge that we are not obligated to take any action in respect of the following:

  • Which users are granted access to the Services;
  • What content you access through the Services; or
  • How you can interpret or use the content.

The Services and content are provided “as is” and without warranty of any kind, either express or implied. We shall not assume any liability with regard to the following:

  • That the Services will be secure or available at a particular time or place;
  • That any defects or errors are corrected;
  • That any content or software available on (or through) the Services is free from viruses or other harmful components; or
  • The results of the use of said Services will meet your requirements. The use of the Services is exclusively at your own risk. Some states do not allow limitations on implied warranties, so the above limitations may not apply to you.

We do not guarantee that the Services will operate without interruption or error. In particular, the operation of said Services may be interrupted due to maintenance, updates or system or network failures, and such failures may result in errors or loss of data.

9. Disclaimer/Limitation of liability

In case of damages caused in any other way (damages not resulting from injury to life, body or health) Dyneum shall be liable in case of intent and gross negligence, including that attributable to its vicarious agents, in accordance with the statutory provisions. The same shall apply in the event of damage caused negligently as resulting from injury to life, limb or health. In the event of negligently caused damage to property and pecuniary loss, Dyneum and its vicarious agents shall only be liable in case of a breach of an essential contractual obligation, but limited in terms of amount to the damage foreseeable at the time of the conclusion of the contract and typical for said contract; essential contractual obligations are those, the performance of which characterises the contract and on which the customer may rely.

Dyneum shall not be held liable for any damage caused by the access (e.g.: hacker attack) of a third party to your account and your content, unless the damage is due to an intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty by Dyneum, one of its legal representatives or vicarious agents.

Dyneum shall not be liable for any damage caused by an interruption or loss of data and information, and said interruption or loss is due to causes beyond Dyneum’s control (e.g. a network failure). In addition, we hereby exclude any liability for malfunctions, inaccessibility or poor functionality of the Services due to unsuitable equipment, malfunctions related to internet service providers, saturation of the internet network or for any other reason.

10. Compensation

You hereby agree to indemnify and hold us, our affiliates, our employees, contractors, directors, suppliers and agents harmless from any claim or demand (including reasonable legal representation fees) asserted by any third party due to your unlawful conduct or unauthorised user account content. Unlawful conduct or unauthorised account content may exist, in particular, if you violate these General Terms and Conditions (see Rules of Conduct) or the documents incorporated by reference herein, any law or the rights of any third party, respectively.

11. Applicable law and place of jurisdiction

These General Terms and Conditions shall be governed by (and construed in accordance with) the laws of the European Union, including its conflict-of-laws rules, and the laws of Italy. You hereby agree that any dispute arising out of (or in relation to) these General Terms and Conditions shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the courts of Italy.

12. Modification

We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to modify or replace these General Terms and Conditions or to modify, suspend or discontinue the Services at any time by posting a notice on the website, or by sending you a notice by email or other appropriate electronic means of communication. In addition thereto, we reserve the right to restrict certain features and services upon becoming aware of unlawful conduct or unlawful account content, or to restrict your access to parts or all of the Services without notice or the assumption of liability. Although we will notify you of any changes in a timely manner, it is also your responsibility to check these General Terms and Conditions periodically for any changes. Should you continue to use the Services after we have notified you of changes to the General Terms and Conditions, you shall be deemed to have accepted the changes we have made. Your use of the Services shall be subject to the General Terms and Conditions in force at the time of use. Should you refuse to grant your consent, you will not be allowed to use said Services.

Entirety of the Agreement and separability

These General Terms and Conditions (including the Data Protection Policy and, where applicable, the EU Data Processing Supplement) constitute the entirety of the Agreement between you and us vis-a-vis the Services, including use of the website, and supersede all prior (or contemporaneous) communications and proposals (whether verbal, written or electronic) between you and us in relation to said Services.

Any failure of Dyneum to exercise any right provided for herein in any respect shall not be deemed a waiver of any further rights.

Force majeure

We shall not be held liable for any failure to perform our obligations under this contract if said failure is deemed to be due to causes beyond our reasonable control, including (without limitation) to mechanical, electronic or communications faults or failures, and we could not have known or prevented the causes at the time of entering into the contract.
