Timely completion of each project is of utmost importance to us. To facilitate this, we kindly request that the customer, as our designated point of contact, sets aside dedicated time, preferably on a daily basis, to review completed tasks and provide feedback. The customer must approve all delivery procedures. It is essential that all delivery processes receive the customer’s approval.

Approval is considered valid when the customer officially approves a process, task, or change in our project management software. If approval is mistakenly given, we encourage you to notify your advisor immediately. Please note that only our designated point of contact at your location has the authority to approve delivery processes, provide feedback, and make changes.

Your active participation and feedback are highly appreciated as they significantly contribute to the successful completion of our projects.

3.4

We strongly advise against disclosing your login credentials to third parties to enhance security. We recommend creating and regularly updating passwords in the form of a passphrase containing various characters and symbols. Please refrain from manually acquiring, implementing, and updating plugins, extensions, and solutions. In case you encounter errors or deficiencies, please contact our support team for assistance instead of attempting to resolve them on your own. Your thoroughness in implementing these security measures is greatly appreciated.

3.5

As a customer, you are obligated to notify us if you intend to launch a campaign or engage in activities that will significantly increase traffic to the website or online store. This allows us to monitor the website continuously and ensure it is always available. Set file size limits for uploaded images, documents, and other file types. If you have concerns regarding size, please contact us.

Uploading videos to the website is prohibited. Upload the video to a service like Vimeo or YouTube, and then integrate the URL on your website. Reduce the number of inactive posts, pages, and items. Routine maintenance of the infrastructure is recommended.

3.6

In the event a customer discovers an error or identifies deficiencies in MooCommerce AS’s products or services, please contact our support team as soon as possible.

We appreciate your prompt communication and cooperation as we work together to find a solution.

In the event a client becomes aware that a user is violating the terms outlined in the agreement, we kindly request that the client promptly takes action to terminate the user’s access to the services. Your swift response in such cases is greatly appreciated as it helps maintain compliance with the terms and conditions of our agreement.

3.10

Rapid Error Reporting and Resolution Protocol: MooCommerce AS prioritizes the rapid identification and correction of any errors or deficiencies. To this end, we employ comprehensive procedures and monitoring systems to swiftly detect and resolve issues. We commit to addressing any errors or omissions resulting from significant negligence or deliberate misconduct on our part within a period of 30 days. Upon completion of this period, if MooCommerce AS has addressed the errors and requested client confirmation, an additional 30-day grace period is provided to rectify any persistent issues. Technical challenges can often be complex, with root causes that are not immediately apparent. In situations involving dependence on third parties, the resolution timeframe is extended to three months. This extension accounts for the potential need to explore alternative providers and test different solutions to ensure a thorough and effective resolution of the issue.

Under no circumstances are customers entitled to compensation for service interruptions, suspensions, or closures. We appreciate your patience during the error correction process, as such periods are normal and handled with the utmost care. Your patience and cooperation in this matter are greatly appreciated.

Third-party server providers are responsible for delivering our services. In the event of issues or concerns related to these service providers, we must be given adequate time to investigate and resolve the situation, including the possibility of switching to alternative services if a solution is not feasible.

Please note that MooCommerce AS cannot be held responsible or liable for any associated costs or obligations in such situations. Your cooperation and patience in allowing us to address and rectify these situations effectively are highly valued.

3.11

Customers are respectfully reminded that it is their responsibility to maintain accurate and updated contact information that accurately reflects their current status. In the context of MooCommerce AS’s consumer relationship, we strictly follow written communication. The customer is responsible for maintaining the accuracy and timeliness of all information, including MooCommerce AS’s mailing address, designated contact person (the individual authorized to manage services and place orders), email address, and phone number. Your initiative in this matter is highly appreciated and contributes to our effective communication.

3.12

The customer acknowledges and admits that the allocated storage space and number of hosted websites are predetermined. Specifically, website traffic, bandwidth, and storage space are all predetermined. In the event that usage exceeds these predetermined limits, MooCommerce AS reserves the right to either charge the consumer for the additional bandwidth or restrict it. In such cases, the consumer will be advised to consider upgrading to a service level or solution that provides greater capacity to meet their needs. Your understanding and cooperation in adhering to these terms are greatly appreciated as it enables us to maintain efficient service delivery.

3.13

The customer is responsible for preventing unauthorized access to their username and password for the e-commerce or CMS solution. MooCommerce AS cannot be held liable for any losses or damages incurred as a result of an unauthorized person gaining access to usernames and passwords.

To enhance security, we strongly recommend implementing reliable protection measures, such as robust security systems, multi-level authentication procedures, and regular password changes. Additionally, MooCommerce AS assumes that the designated contact person(s) have the necessary authority to monitor service management tasks such as deletion, relocation, and placement of additional orders, as described in point 1. Your dedication to these security measures is highly appreciated as it contributes to the reliability of our services.

3.14

Unless a separate agreement is entered into with MooCommerce AS, the customer is solely responsible for backing up the content on their pages. Under no circumstances is MooCommerce AS liable for any loss of customer data. Therefore, we strongly recommend that consumers regularly back up their uploaded content. Your thoroughness is highly appreciated in this regard as it contributes to the protection and preservation of your data.

3.15

The customer is responsible for obtaining all necessary licenses and permits. As part of this agreement, the customer undertakes to indemnify MooCommerce AS against any claims resulting from failure to fulfill this obligation. We greatly appreciate your cooperation and compliance with these requirements.

3.16

In the event the customer chooses to procure services from third parties that we may recommend, it is important to emphasize that the responsibility for these decisions rests entirely with the customer. It is worth noting that the customer, as a business entity, bears full responsibility for any choices and actions taken independently. This distinction underscores the autonomy and decision-making authority of the customer as a company. We are committed to providing guidance and recommendations, but it is the customer’s responsibility to exercise due diligence and make informed choices that align with their specific needs and goals.

4. Orders, Payment, and Service Availability

A contract with MooCommerce AS is established only when we confirm your purchase via email (order confirmation). It is crucial that you carefully review the order confirmation for accuracy and completeness. In case of any discrepancies, we encourage you to notify us immediately. Please note that MooCommerce AS is not responsible for errors or inaccuracies in the ordering process. By proceeding with a purchase, you agree to receive an email with transaction confirmation details (order confirmation).

Your attentive review and immediate communication about any discrepancies in the order confirmation are critical to ensuring accurate and efficient fulfillment of our agreements.

4.3

Compliance with Payment and Service Availability

Timely payment for rendered services is crucial. In cases where a payment is overdue and remains unpaid after reminder (reminder), MooCommerce AS reserves the right to take necessary actions. This includes, but is not limited to, suspending access to the website, displaying a message on the website indicating closure or restricted access due to outstanding payments, and terminating any ongoing integrations. Furthermore, if a client utilizes services or technologies without fulfilling payment obligations, especially if such usage involves licensing aspects or grants access to competitors, MooCommerce AS reserves the right to seek compensation for unauthorized use. It is essential for customers to adhere to the agreed-upon payment schedules to maintain uninterrupted access to our services and avoid any legal consequences or service interruptions.

Any non-functioning functionality on the website must be reported to support and does not constitute legal grounds for failing to pay outstanding invoices. It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that any technical issues are addressed through the proper channels and that payment obligations are maintained regardless of such issues.

Customers are not allowed to conduct business at the expense of MooCommerce without fulfilling their payment terms. If payment is not made within 60 days, and if a payment plan is not entered into or adhered to, the supplier has the right to delete the website, online store, or other solution operated for the customer. This means that even if the solution is deleted, the customer must still pay for their unpaid invoices to ensure fairness and accountability in all our business relationships.

The risk of such unauthorized access or security breaches is inherent in the use of technical solutions online. Furthermore, MooCommerce AS is not liable for any claims brought by third parties against MooCommerce AS in connection with products or services transmitted via MooCommerce AS’s services by the customer or the customer’s users.

The client acknowledges its role as a data processor and emphasizes their decision to use our services for processing personal data to third parties. In this capacity, they retain discretion over the manner and purpose of such data processing.

9.3 

Transfer of Personal Data between MooCommerce AS and Third Parties

Here, «limited transfer» refers to the transfer of personal data from a client to a developer and/or third parties, originating from the client and intended for a developer located outside the European Economic Area via MooCommerce AS.

Most importantly, all standard contractual clauses established in accordance with the preceding sentence shall be legally binding.

(ii) If at any time an alternative data transfer solution is drafted and implemented between the client and any other relevant developer regarding limited transfers (for example, if the developer’s home country becomes subject to a satisfactory decision from the European Commission), the following provisions shall apply:

9.4

Although such circumstances could be considered unforeseen events that neither the customer nor MooCommerce AS could have anticipated at the time the agreement was entered into, no compensation or price reduction will be provided. This is a typical risk that consumers should be prepared for. If such revisions are necessary, consumers may be billed at prevailing rates at our discretion.

If any provision of the contract is found to be invalid, unenforceable, or illegal, that specific provision shall be eliminated, but all other provisions shall remain in full force and effect, ensuring the continued validity and enforcement of the remaining terms.

19.3

Without prior written consent from MooCommerce AS, the customer may not transfer the contract, delegate its responsibilities, or sublicense any of its rights under the contract.

20. Protection of Intellectual Property Rights

20.1

The protection of intellectual property rights is of paramount importance to MooCommerce AS. This includes software code, proprietary algorithms, user interfaces, and any creative or innovative components integrated into MooCommerce AS’s functionality. To preserve the integrity and exclusivity of their intellectual property, MooCommerce AS companies often rely on comprehensive terms and conditions agreements.

20.2

Through these contracts, MooCommerce AS establishes the framework for its engagement with customers. They define the scope of permitted use, ownership of data, confidentiality measures, and assignment of intellectual property rights. By precisely delineating these terms, MooCommerce AS not only safeguards its intellectual assets but also ensures smooth and secure operation of its services.

In this context, standard terms and conditions agreements address crucial aspects of intellectual property, such as:

– Ownership: MooCommerce AS informs about the ownership of the software, content, and other intellectual property integrated into their services. This clarifies that users do not acquire ownership of these assets but are instead granted access and usage rights. Any unauthorized use of MooCommerce AS’s intellectual property may result in immediate termination of services and legal action.

MooCommerce AS allows users to generate content or data while using the platform. The agreements typically stipulate that users retain ownership of such user-generated content while granting MooCommerce AS a license to use and archive it for service-related purposes.

The protection of intellectual property rights extends to safeguarding sensitive business information and trade secrets. Typical terms and conditions agreements include confidentiality clauses to prevent unauthorized disclosure or use of confidential information.

MooCommerce AS specifies its policies for handling claims of intellectual property infringement, which may include mechanisms for reporting alleged infringements and procedures for responding to such claims.

Effective and timely communication from the client’s side is crucial for the efficient resolution of any problems that may arise.

21.2

Active Client Participation

The client is required to actively participate in communication and provide prompt responses to any inquiries or requests for information from MooCommerce AS. This active participation is critical to facilitating MooCommerce AS’s efforts in resolving any issues and ensuring the smooth functioning of the services.

21.3

Extension of Resolution Period

Each time MooCommerce AS communicates with the client regarding corrections or updates, an additional period of 30 business days is granted to MooCommerce AS to continue working on resolving the issues. This extended period provides MooCommerce AS with sufficient time to thoroughly address and rectify any issues, considering the complexities that may be involved.

21.4

Disclaimer for Delayed Communication

MooCommerce AS is not liable for any failure or delay in resolving issues that may be attributed to the client’s delayed response or lack of cooperation. The responsibility for maintaining consistent and prompt communication lies with the client, and any delays on the client’s part may affect the timeline for resolution.

21.5

Disclaimer

MooCommerce AS refers to Section 8, «Limitation of Liability,» regarding its disclaimer for any claims for damages related to delays or issues in resolving problems under the SLA. MooCommerce AS shall not be liable for any form of compensatory damages arising from delays or issues in service delivery or issue resolution covered under this section.

The SLA, along with these additional client responsibilities, constitutes a comprehensive framework governing the relationship between MooCommerce AS and its customers. It is designed to clarify the expectations and obligations of both parties, thereby ensuring a productive and mutually beneficial partnership.

MooCommerce AS reserves the right to immediately terminate services, without notice, in the event of a customer’s non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

In the dynamic world of technology and business, unforeseen events may occasionally affect the delivery of our services. At MooCommerce AS, we acknowledge that unforeseen circumstances, often referred to as «force majeure» events, can derail even the most carefully laid plans. Our commitment to transparency and fairness extends to these circumstances as well. We have included a Force Majeure clause in our Terms and Conditions to provide our company and our valued customers with a structured approach to handling such circumstances.
