OVERVIEW
For the correct performance of the services rendered by TOQIO FINTECH LIMITED, a company registered in United Kingdom with corporate address at Harwood House, 43 Harwood Road, London, United Kingdom, SW6 4QP and company number 11760343 (“Supplier”), it is necessary that you agree to use this platform (the “Platform”), which is an integrated cloud computing solution for providing fintech services including banking, payment, expense and card services, analysis of financial and business data, and other financial products accessible through online and mobile banking (the “Fintech Services”).
This End User License Agreement constitutes a legally binding contract (the“EULA”) between you and the Supplier and aims to regulate the conditions of access and use of the Platform by you as an end user (the“End User”). The Supplier offers the Fintech Services through the Platform as part of the broader fintech services package it currently renders to you. Each End User must accept this EULA for the correct provision of the Fintech Services through the Platform.
The developer of the Platform is Toqio Fintech Limited, a company registered in England and Wales with corporate address at Harwood House, 43 Harwood Road, London, United Kingdom, SW6 4QP and company number 11760343 (the “Service Provider”). Service Provider provides the Platform to the End User by virtue of a contractual relationship between the Service Provider and the Supplier.

PROVISION OF THE FINTECH SERVICES THROUGH THE PLATFORM
The Fintech Services provided through the Platform will be provided in accordance with Annex I.
CHARGES AND PAYMENT
The use of the Platform by the End User and the Fintech Services provided through it may be subject to usage and transaction fees (the “Fees”) as set forth in Annex II.
END USER DATA
“End User Data” means files (documents of any kind, including images, receipts, invoices, transactions, additional users, text files, etc.) and any other digital data and information which is used to provide the Fintech Services or otherwise uploaded into or communicated to the Platform by the End User, including the specific accounts, transactions, and other data associated with the End User.
If the End User uploads End User Data to the Platform, the End User represents and warrants that it complies with the applicable laws and the provisions of this EULA.
As between the End User and the Supplier and the Service Provider, all rights, title and interest in and to the End User Data uploaded to the Platform belong to the End User, without prejudice to the Service Provider’s rights to use the End User Data as set forth in this EULA.
No warranty.
The Service Provider does not provide any specific warranty in connection with the End User Data.
The Service Provider does not warrant any accuracy with respect to the End User Data which is processed by or uploaded to the Platform. The End User is responsible for ensuring the accuracy of the End User Data before transmitting, submitting, processing or uploading it to the Platform.
When processing or uploading End User Data to the Platform, the Platform will automatically generate a code for each piece of End User Data, determining the exact date and time when the End User Data was processed or uploaded. Neither the Supplier nor the Service Provider warrant that the contents and the legal implications of the End User Data processed or uploaded to the Platform have been reviewed and verified. Such code does not entail the assumption of any liabilities by the Supplier or the Service Provider with regard to that document.
The End User acknowledges that the Platform is hosted in the cloud and that therefore the Service Provider cannot provide any warranty as to uptime and that, in the event of any loss or damage to End User Data, the End User’s sole and exclusive remedy will be to request the Supplier that the Service Provider use reasonable commercial endeavours to restore the lost or damaged End User Data from the latest back-up of such End User Data. Neither the Supplier nor the Service Provider may be held liable for any loss, destruction, alteration or disclosure of End User Data caused by any thirdparty.
Unlawful End User Data.
When transmitting, submitting, processing or uploading the End User Data to the Platform, neither the Supplier nor the Service Provider have any obligation of pre-screening, monitoring or filtering any End User Data. However, if the Supplier or the Service Provider have reasonable reasons to believe that the End User Data or any actions of an End User regarding the Platform are unlawful, they are fully entitled to:
If the End User presented adequate means of evidence proving that the End User Data is compliant with the applicable laws and this EULA, the Supplier will provide the Service Provider with such adequate means of evidence, and the Service Provider may, at its own discretion, unblock it and permit its integration on the Platform.
PERSONAL DATA PROCESSING
Personal Data (sub)processing.
For the correct provision of the Fintech Services it is necessary for the Service Provider to access and process the personal data contained in the End User Data which is transmitted, submitted or uploaded to the Platform (the “Personal Data”). These processing activities will be in compliance with the applicable laws on data protection, and particularly, with Regulation 2016/679, of April 27, 2016, on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data (the “GDPR”) and the Organic Act 3/2018, of December 5, on Personal Data Protection and guarantee of digital rights.
The End User will be acting as a data controller (the“Controller”) in charge of the Personal Data and the Supplier will be acting as a data processor on its behalf (the “Processor”). In turn, the Processor relies on the Service Provider to process the Personal Data for the provision of the Fintech Services through or in connection with the Platform and will therefore act as a data sub-processor (“Sub-processor”).
By means of this EULA, the Controller authorizes the Sub-processor to have access and process the Personal Data for the provision of the Fintech Services. The processing of Personal Data by the Sub-Processor does not qualify as a data transfer, but as an ancillary limited access on behalf of the Controller (through the Processor) in the terms set out in article 28 GDPR and any other applicable laws on data protection.
The processing of Personal Data carried out by the Processor and the Subprocessor, includes the following activities:
The Controller acknowledges that the processing activities carried out by the Processor and the Sub-processor may be the object of changes or modifications. Consequently, the End User authorizes the modification of this EULA so to reflect the processing activities applicable to the Personal Data. The eventual changes or modifications will be considered an integral part of the EULA.
The Processor and Sub-processor may process the following types of Personal Data:
The Processor (and Sub-processor vis-à-vis the Processor) will comply with the following provisions:
The Controller must comply with the following obligations:
Subcontractors.
The Sub-processor is expressly authorized to subcontract other companies for the correct execution of its obligations under this EULA.
The Sub-processor is expressly authorized to share the Personal Data with those other subcontractors, as requested by the Processor, that will also be considered sub-processors. The Sub-processor must enter into a data processing agreement by virtue of which the subcontractors must assume the same data protection obligations in respect of the Personal Data as the ones set forth in this EULA. At the time of subscription of this EULA, the Subprocessor has appointed the subcontractors listed in Annex III.
The End User acknowledges that the Sub-processor may rely on subcontractors which are located in the United Kingdom or in countries outside the European Economic Area. In this regard, the Sub-processor will observe and comply with the requirements set out in the applicable laws on data protection in force at the time of performing the data transfer, particularly, on the requirements of Chapter V GDPR, and will implement the security measures, technical and organizational measures to ensure compliance with them (including, among others, the subscription of standard contractual clauses with the subcontractors).
Ancillary uses of the End User Data (including Personal Data).
The Fintech Services and the Platform are based on technology and statistical information owned by the Service Provider, that leverages the End User input and delivers relevant financial information and analysis.
The End User accepts and agrees to the following uses of the End User Data:
The End User understands those uses and by checking the boxes at the end of this EULA agrees to them.
General
Each party must comply with all applicable laws on data protection in force at any given time, in relation to the processing of Personal Data to which the Processor or the Sub-processor have access in the framework of this EULA. The Controller hereby represents and warrants that it complies with the applicable laws on data protection and is entitled to upload into or otherwise communicate to the Platform the End User Data in general, and the Personal Data in particular, in accordance with this EULA. The Controller must ensure that the relevant third-parties have been informed of, and, if applicable, have given their consent to such use, processing, and transfer as required by the applicable laws on data protection.
INTEGRATION OF THIRD-PARTY SERVICES IN THE PLATFORM
The Platform may integrate, enable or assist the End User to access third party services. Those third parties may be either other service providers selected by the Supplier to render services to the ultimate benefit of the End User (“Other Providers hired by the Supplier”) or, in some cases, service providers selected directly by the End User (“Other Providers hired by the End User”).
Other Providers hired by the Supplier.
The Platform allows connections to a wide range of service providers of financial products and services including core banking, cards, accounting, insurance, FX, lending, payment, KYC and KYB, amongst others.
Albeit provided through or integrated with the Platform, each Other Provider hired by the Supplier is solely responsible vis-à-vis the Supplier and ultimately the End User for its own service. The Service Provider will devote reasonable commercial efforts to ensure that those services are provided seamlessly through the Platform, but assumes no liability for them or for errors, interruptions, discontinuances, suspensions or other type of unavailability of those services or the Platform resulting or derived from those services.
Likewise, the Platform may connect with content, products or services from Other Providers hired by the Supplier via their websites. Access and use of that content, products or services is carried out at the End User’s own risk and convenience and may be subject to additional terms and conditions, rules and regulations.
The Service Provider does not make any representation or commitment, endorse, or assume any liability or obligation whatsoever in relation to the content, information, materials, products, services or transactions the End User enters into with Other Providers hired by the Supplier
From a personal data processing perspective, the Other Providers hired by the Supplier will be subcontractors acting on behalf of the Supplier, and therefore sub-processors of the Personal Data. The Service Provider is expressly authorized to share the End User Data, including the Personal Data, with those other subcontractors, as requested by the Supplier in its condition as Processor.
Other Providers hired by the End User.
The Platform allows connections via API with third-party accounting and ERP solutions (e.g. Xero, SAGE).
The Service Provider will devote reasonable commercial efforts to ensure that the services provided by Other Providers hired by the End User are connected seamlessly through the Platform, but assumes no liability for them or for errors, interruptions, discontinuances, suspensions or other type of unavailability of those services or the Platform resulting or derived from those services.
From a personal data processing perspective, the Other Providers hired by the End User will be contractors acting on behalf of the End User, and therefore processors of the Personal Data. The Service Provider is expressly authorized to share the End User Data, including the Personal Data, with those Other Providers hired by the End User, as requested by the End User in its condition as Controller.
CONFIDENTIALITY
The End User and the Supplier agree to keep confidential the terms of this EULA, the content of the Platform and the Service Tools, as well as any other information provided as a result of this EULA which should in good faith be considered confidential (the“Confidential Information”). The End User Data (including Personal Data) will also be generally considered Confidential Information, without prejudice to the Service Provider’s rights to use the End User Data as set out in this EULA.
The receiving party may not disclose any aspect of the Confidential Information to any person, entity, body or institution without the disclosing party’s consent, and may not use it for any purpose other than in connection with the execution of this EULA.
A party’s Confidential Information must not be deemed to include information that:
In the event that the receiving party is required by law to disclose all or part of the Confidential Information:
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS
The Platform, the Service Tools, and particularly the Software, and all title, rights and interest, especially, without limitation, any intellectual property rights embodied therein are the sole and exclusive property of the Service Provider or its licensors. Therefore, except as permitted in this EULA, the End User is not entitled to copy, modify, duplicate, create derivative works from, frame, mirror, republish, download, display, transmit, distribute or communicate to the public (including making available to the public) all or any part of them in any means, support, form or media, or attempt to decompile, disassemble, reverse engineer or otherwise reduce to humanperceivable form all or any part of the Software or the rest of the Service Tools.
The End User may not copy the printed materials accompanying the Platform or the Service Tools, nor print copies of any of them if provided in an electronic form.
Ownership of the Results.
All right, title and interest in and to the result of the Fintech Services (the“Results”), including the intellectual property rights that may derive from them, belong to the Service Provider. The Service Provider’s rights do not extend to the End User Data that may be included as part of the Results.
Subject to the Supplier and the End User’s compliance at all times with the terms of this EULA, the Service Provider will grant the End User and the Supplier a non-exclusive, non-transferrable, non-sublicensable right to use the Results exclusively for their internal, non-commercial uses.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
The Platform and the Service Tools are provided to the End User on an “as is” basis. All warranties, representations, conditions and all other expressed or implied guarantee of any kind whatsoever resulting from the applicable laws are excluded from this EULA to the fullest extent permitted.
Except as expressly and specifically provided in this EULA, to the maximum extent legally permitted the End User assumes sole responsibility for the application of the Results obtained from the execution of the Fintech Services and from the use of the Platform and other Service Tools, and the decisions made by the End User based on those Results.
The Service Provider must not be held liable for any damage caused by actions undertaken by the Service Provider following the Supplier’s instructions or guidelines.
To the maximum extent legally permitted, the Supplier, the Service Provider and its licensors will not be held liable:
TERM AND TERMINATION
Term.
This EULA will commence of the date of subscription and continue for 24 months from the date on which the Platform has been delivered to the End User and the End User has accepted such delivery. Afterwards, this EULA will be automatically renewed for successive periods of 3 months, unless terminated pursuant to the following section.
Termination.
Either party may terminate this EULA by serving written notice to the other at least 30 calendar days before the expiration of the 24-month term set out in the “Term and Termination” section under the “Term” subsection above. Termination will be effective upon the expiry of the 30-calendar day notice period from the receipt of the notification.
On termination of this EULA:
In connection with the last paragraph of the “Conditions of the license and the use of the Platform” section of the EULA, the Supplier or the Service Provider may have the right to suspend access to all or any part of the Platform, other Service Tools, or the execution of the Fintech Services, including removing content, at any time for violation of this EULA or to protect the integrity, operability, and security of the Fintech Services, the Platform and the Service Tools, effective immediately, with or without notice. Unless prohibited by law or legal process or to prevent imminent harm to the End User or any third party. The Supplier (or in certain situations the Service Provider) will typically provide notice on or before such suspension. This suspension, using good faith, will be tailored as needed to preserve the integrity, operability, and security of the Fintech Services, the Platform or, generally, the Service Tools.
This EULA may be amended from time to time by the Supplier. Amendments will be notified to the End User through the Platform and will be effective at the end of the next calendar month. If the End User does not agree to the amendments, then the End User will be entitled to terminate this EULA pursuant to the first paragraph of the “Termination” clause above. If the End User keeps on using the Platform and the Service Tools, as well as receiving the Fintech Services without giving the Supplier a proper termination notice, it will mean that it accepts the amendments. For the avoidance of doubt, no amendments may me imposed on the Service Provider without its prior, express, and written consent.
