Terms & Conditions- Refers to the terms and conditions in the current agreement.

Agreement Period- Refers to the period on which Paloma and the Customer have reached agreement for the use of the Service.

Credits- Refers to a pot of credits i.e. a pot consisting of the number of attendees in Magnet, the number of responses in Kurios and the number of mailings in Postman, which the Customer has purchased pursuant to agreement.

The Customer- Refers to the natural or legal person with whom Paloma has entered into a Customer Agreement for licence of the Service.

The Service- Refers to Paloma’s products: Magnet, Kurios and Postman.

Recipient- Refers to the natural or legal person to whom the Customer sends newsletters, invitations and other services via the Service.

Intellectual property rights- Refers to all intellectual property rights of the Service to which Paloma has an exclusive right, including related rights, as well as the further development and updating of the Service.

User rights- Refers to the limited right granted to the Customer through the Customer Agreement and the Terms & Conditions to use the Service during the agreed Agreement Period.

Section 1 General information

Together with the Customer Agreement, these Terms & Conditions regulate the contractual relationship between Paloma and the Customer regarding the Service. In the event of discrepancies between the Terms & Conditions and the Customer Agreement, the Customer Agreement shall take precedence. Paloma and the Customer are hereinafter jointly referred to as the Parties and individually as Party.

Section 2 Entering into the Customer Agreement

An order for the Service can be placed using a form on Paloma’s website, via email or verbally. In order to facilitate full use of the Service, someone who wishes to become a user of the Service shall give Paloma the details requested by Paloma in connection with the registration. The Customer is obligated to sign a written agreement in conjunction with the order if Paloma so requests. If a Customer Agreement has not been entered into in writing, the

Customer Agreement shall be deemed to have been entered into when Paloma has confirmed the order or when the Service has been opened for use.

The Customer selects a username and a password of his own choosing. Paloma reserves the right to change the Customer’s identification data for technical reasons, for operational reasons or for other reasons, for example on account of a decision by a competent authority.

Section 3 Cancellation of the Customer Agreement

Notice of cancellation shall be provided in writing via email. Failure to pay an invoice is not deemed to constitute cancellation of the Customer Agreement. Paloma does not pay refunds of previously made payments, compensation for the unused part of the Agreement Period or Credits in any circumstance other than circumstances whereby the cancellation has been made on account of a fault or delay in the Service that depends on a circumstance on the part of Paloma, and such circumstance is not of insignificance to the Customer.

Cancellation of the Customer Agreement must be made prior to the commencement of a new Agreement Period. It is the Customer’s responsibility to be aware of when a new Agreement Period starts. Paloma is entitled to invoice the Customer for each Agreement Period that has started. Paloma does not pay a refund as compensation for any time remaining in the period that has started in accordance with the Customer Agreement. This applies even if there is still a pot with Credits.

If the Customer Agreement has been cancelled, the Service is closed down automatically on the day after the final day of the current Agreement Period. It is up to the Customer to export the data the Customer wishes to keep prior to the day on which the Service is automatically closed down. Paloma cannot guarantee that the Customer’s data from the Service will be saved, or that a backup of such data will exist, after the expiry of the Agreement Period.

The Customer Agreement is automatically extended if it has not been cancelled prior to the commencement of a new Agreement Period. A Freemium account or an account with Credits is closed down automatically if the Customer has not been logged onto the account for a period of twelve (12) months.

Paloma is entitled to cancel the Customer Agreement with immediate effect if Paloma intends to shut down the Service or incorporate it into another service, or if Paloma changes the Terms & Conditions for connection to the Service, e.g. due to an increase in functionality or the imposition of a charge for the Service. In such case, any outstanding payment will be credited to the Customer by means of a credit note.

With exception for the above, the following terms and conditions apply to payment with a credit or debit card. If there are insufficient funds to cover the automatic card payment, Paloma reserves the right to make further attempts to process the payment during the following ten (10) days. If there are still insufficient funds to cover the payment after this ten-day period, the Customer Agreement is cancelled with immediate effect. However, in such a situation the Service does not cease entirely, but rather continues to run as a Freemium account. In accordance with the above provision, the Freemium account is then closed down automatically if the Customer has not been logged onto the account within a period of twelve (12) months.

Section 4 The Service’s intellectual property rights

Through the Customer Agreement, the Customer is only granted access to a non-exclusive, time-limited right to use the Service. The Customer is also granted a non-exclusive, time-limited right to use further developments, updates or amendments of the Service. The Customer’s user right is limited to that which is specified above and in the Customer Agreement. Otherwise, Paloma retains all rights to the Service, including all Intellectual Property Rights that the Service contains or may come to contain by way of further development, update or amendment of the Service. Paloma’s rights and Paloma’s Service’s rights may not be used in connection with any product or service without Paloma’s written consent.

The Service, or any part thereof, may not be sold, distributed, copied, reproduced or used in any way that is not in compliance with the Customer’s user right pursuant to these Terms & Conditions and the Customer Agreement.

Section 5 Price and payment terms

Payment for the Service takes place in accordance with the applicable pricelist. The price is stated exclusive of VAT or other comparable surcharges and public charges.

The Service is invoiced or paid for via a credit or debit card at the start of the Agreement Period or the extension period. When payment is made against invoice, the payment shall be received by Paloma no later than 15 days after invoice date (unless some other arrangement has been agreed between the Parties). If payment of an invoice is delayed, the Customer is obligated to pay penalty interest to Paloma in accordance with Section 6 of the Swedish Interest Act, calculated from the day on which payment should have been made.

If payment is made by credit or debit card, the amount is immediately charged to the card on purchase of the Service, and thereafter automatically each time the Customer Agreement is extended.

Paloma reserves the right to stop delivery of the Service (or part thereof) if payment is not made on time. It is up to the Customer to inform Paloma of any change of address.

Section 6 Operation, support and customer service

The Service is normally in operation 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Operation of the Service is unsupervised during certain times. Operational downtime may occur during such times. Furthermore, Paloma reserves the right, without prior notice, to restrict or stop the operation of the Service for service-related purposes, e.g. the rectification of bugs, maintenance and upgrades.

In cases where notification is sent to the Customer, such notification will be sent to the email address designated by the Customer for receipt of information concerning the operation of the Service.

Paloma provides the Customer with support if support has been ordered. The support takes place via email concerning questions and enquiries, operational downtime or other problems that arise in relation to the use of the Service. Support cases received during office hours (08.00-17.00 Swedish time) will normally be answered within four hours. Shorter opening hours may apply to the support function during the summer period. For emergency support cases, the Customer is referred to Paloma’s switchboard, +46 (0)225 410 22, to report a case.

Section 7 Processing of personal data

In order to provide the Service, Paloma needs to process certain personal data concerning the Customer’s contact persons, for the purpose of administering the customer relationship and sending marketing to the Customer (e.g. newsletters and special offers). Paloma is the personal data controller in relation to such data, and the data is processed in accordance with Paloma’s privacy policy.

Through provision of the Service, Paloma also processes personal data on behalf of the Customer. Such data may, for example, concern subscribers to a newsletter or attendees at an event.

In relation to such personal data, the Customer is the personal data controller and Paloma is the Customer’s personal data processor. By accepting these Terms & Conditions, the Customer also accepts the Personal Data Processor Contract below.

In its role as personal data controller, the Customer must comply with the requirements imposed by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). It is therefore required of the Customer to have lawful grounds for all personal data that is processed, and to ensure that the personal data is processed in accordance with the principles of GDPR.

Section 8 Technical conditions for the Service

In order to use the Service, the Customer’s technical conditions must satisfy the minimum requirements for the Service as specified on Paloma’s website.

Section 9 Restrictions and refusal to deliver

Paloma reserves the right to examine the material that the Customer communicates via the Service, in order to ensure that the Customer is in compliance with its undertakings pursuant to these Terms & Conditions. However, Paloma undertakes no responsibility or liability for closely examining the Customer’s use of the Service.

The Customer is only entitled to use the Service with observance of applicable legislation.

Paloma also reserves the right to immediately stop delivery of the Service if the Customer’s use of the Service represents a breach of these Terms & Conditions or other reasonable written restrictions from Paloma. Paloma also reserves the right to immediately stop delivery of the Service in the event of some other use that is harmful to Paloma, the Service or the Recipients of the Service in some other manner.

Examples of restrictions in the use include:

  • offensive content such as racism, Nazism/fascism, slander, insults, persecution, threats and pornography;
  • chain letters and pyramid schemes;
  • creating a false identity with the aim of misleading others;
  • sending, or in some other way making available, material that is protected by intellectual property rights, without having acquired the rights to the material or having obtained all necessary permissions to utilise the material;
  • infringing Paloma’s or other parties’ intellectual property rights;
  • or in some other way making available, material that contains a virus, Trojan horses, worms, delayed-action bombs, cancelbot files, hazardous files or other similar software which may damage the operation of another party’s computer or property;
  • falsifying or removing author attributions, legal or other types of appropriate notification or ownership indications regarding the origin of transferred material or messages;
  • breaching rules of conduct, good practice or other guidelines that may be applicable to the Service;
  • seeking, without permission, to gain access to, disrupt or discontinue the accounts, computers or networks that are related to the Service;
  • preparing access to, or attempting to prepare access to, information or data via Service, except for information that Paloma intends to make available to the Customer;
  • utilising the access to the Service for the purpose of obtaining information to design, develop or update other software;
  • charging others for using the Service directly or indirectly;
  • circumventing, in some manner, the applicable charge policy for the Service, for example by systematically importing and exporting one and the same address or all or large parts of the list of Recipients; or
  • the Customer sends emails in such a way that it entails, or may come to entail, some form of blacklisting, spam filtering or blocking of the Service’s IP address.

If the Service (or part thereof) has been stopped due to use that is in breach of the provisions in this Section 9, this does not provide entitlement to any refund to the Customer. The Customer’s right to use the Service ceases with immediate effect when the Service has been stopped. Paloma accepts no liability in relation to the Customer for the loss of data as a consequence of the Service having been stopped.

Section 10 The Customer’s responsibility

The Customer is responsible for ensuring that the Service is used in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, both in Sweden and internationally. The Customer undertakes to indemnify Paloma for all financial or other loss or damage that is related to the Customer’s use of the Service.

The Customer undertakes not to reveal his password to any unauthorised person and to ensure that documents containing details of the password are stored in such a way that no unauthorised person can gain access to the password. The Customer shall immediately ask Paloma to block the password if it is suspected that an unauthorised person has become aware of the Customer’s password.

The Customer is solely responsible in relation to Paloma for the information that is transferred, stored or provided through the Service.

The Customer undertakes to use the Service in accordance with the permission marketing principle. This means that the Service will be used to further develop existing relations. A Recipient of a mailing must have directly or indirectly consented to receiving information from the Customer. The consent from the Recipient may arise, for example, through an existing customer relationship, personal contacts or a request/application to receive information from the Customer via the Service.

A Recipient of information via the Service shall always be offered the opportunity of deregistering from further mailings through the use of a clearly visible, clickable link in each individual mailing. It shall be easy to de-register, and a Recipient’s desire to do so must always be respected. Sending invitations to launch a newsletter is acceptable on condition that they are one-off invitations to each Recipient and are sent to a relevant target group that can be supposed to have an interest in the content.

The Service is otherwise used in accordance with the industry organisation SWEDMA’s ethical guidelines regarding email marketing.

Paloma does not permit the Customer to enter purchased addresses or address lists into the Service.

Section 11 Provisions regarding Paloma account

The Customer understands that there may only be one registered sender per account. A Customer is entitled to open an account on behalf of a client. However, there may only be one such registered client/sender per Paloma account.

Section 12 Limitation of Paloma’s liability

Paloma is not liable for inconvenience, damage or loss that is due to circumstances beyond Paloma’s control or that Paloma could not reasonably have known about or predicted.

Such circumstances, constituting “Force Majeure” shall be deemed to include, but are not limited to: accidents, war, riots, severe weather, labour market conflict, faults in an operator’s, a business partner’s or a supplier’s IT service, data network, payment solution or similar event that is beyond Paloma’s control. Under no circumstances is Paloma liable for indirect loss or damage or consequential loss or damage. Consequently, Paloma is not liable for loss of profits or any other kind of indirect damage or loss.

Paloma’s liability as a consequence of the Customer Agreement is always limited to a total amount not in excess of an amount that equates to the payments made by the Customer during the previous twelve (12) months prior to the occurrence of the loss or damage.

Section 13 Paloma’s liability

In the event of a fault or delay on the part of Paloma which is not insignificant to the Customer, the Customer may receive an adjustment through a free-of-charge extension of the Agreement Period in relation to the relevant part of service loss. Under no circumstances are damages payable for loss of service in accordance with the above.

If no claim for compensation is made within one month of the date on which the Service should have opened or the fault should have ceased, the Customer forfeits his right to compensation if the claim could have been made at the right time.

Section 14 Amendments to the Terms & Conditions

Paloma has the right to revise these Terms & Conditions by publishing an updated version on the website. The amended Terms & Conditions are applicable as of the date/time they are published on the website.

Section 15 Changes to charges

A change to charges is made by entering the change onto the pricelist that applies at any given time. If the Customer does not approve the change or surcharge, the Customer is entitled to cancel his Customer Agreement in accordance with Section 3. If such cancellation does not take place, the Customer is deemed to have approved the new terms.

The new terms are applied as of the start of the next Agreement Period, although always at least one (1) month after Paloma has informed the Customer of the impending increase. The information is sent to the email address designated by the Customer for receipt of information concerning the operation of the Service.

Section 16 Transfer of agreement

The Customer is not entitled to transfer this agreement to a third party without written consent from Paloma AB.

Paloma has the right, without having to obtain the Customer’s consent, to entirely or partially transfer the Customer Agreement, or its rights and obligations under the Customer Agreement, to companies that are part of the same group as Paloma. Paloma has the right to engage the services of subcontractors for fulfilment of its undertakings pursuant to the Customer Agreement.

Section 17 Confidentiality

Each Party undertakes not to disclose to a third party, confidential information that a Party receives from the other Party, or which comes to light during the use of the Service.

Section 18 Information to a third party

Paloma is not entitled to give out address lists to a third party without the Customer’s approval.

Section 19 Changes to the Service

Paloma is entitled to change the design of the Service without prior notification, and irrespective of its reasons for doing so. Such a change becomes valid with immediate effect.

In connection with all changes that may conceivably affect the Customer’s use of the Service, the Customer shall receive, within a reasonable period of time, an e-letter containing the relevant information, sent to the email address designated by the Customer for receipt of information concerning the operation of the Service.

 

Section 20 Transfer of the Service

The Customer is not entitled to transfer the Service to a third party.

Section 21 Interpretation precedence

Paloma enters into agreements with customers in several countries, and translates the Customer Agreement and the Terms & Conditions into various languages as necessary. If an agreement is open to varying interpretation due to language-related differences, the Swedish version of the agreement shall always be afforded precedence when it comes to interpretation.

Section 22 Applicable law

The formalities for entering into an agreement and the matter of the validity of the agreement between Paloma and a Customer shall be settled in accordance with Swedish law.

An agreement that has been entered into between Paloma and a Customer shall be interpreted and have the legal effects pursuant to Swedish law.
