4.User Accounts and Organizations
4.1 Account Registration
Administrators must register an account using a valid email address and authenticate via the Application's supported identity provider (currently AWS Cognito). You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials and for all activities that occur under your account.
4.2 Organizations
An Administrator may create an Organization within the Application. The Administrator assumes full responsibility for all Users added to the Organization, the data those Users generate, and ensuring that all Users comply with this Agreement.
4.3 Operator Access
Operators may access specific Projects without a full account by using an invitation code or QR code issued by an Administrator. Operator access is scoped solely to the invited Project and does not confer broader rights within the Application. The Administrator is responsible for managing and revoking Operator access.

You must notify Licensor immediately of any suspected unauthorized use of your account or security breach. Licensor shall not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to keep your credentials secure.
5.Project Types and Functionality
The Application supports the following project types, each designed for distinct inspection workflows:
- Suspicious List (SL): Records items suspected of defects or irregularities, with status tracking (OK / NOK / Not Found), comments, and photographic evidence.
- Serial Number Recording (SN): Logs serial numbers of inspected items along with their verification status and supporting documentation.
- Black List (BL): Maintains a database of rejected serial numbers against which operators can perform real-time checks to determine whether a scanned item is banned.
All project types support barcode and QR code scanning (including Code 128, Code 39, EAN-13, EAN-8, DataMatrix, Aztec, and PDF417 formats), manual serial number entry, CSV bulk import, and data export to Excel (.xlsx) format. Photo capture (up to the limit of the applicable Subscription tier) is supported for SL and SN projects.
6.Free Trial
Licensor may offer a free trial period for each Subscription tier as specified below. During the free trial, you will have access to all features of the relevant tier without charge. At the end of the free trial period, the Subscription will automatically convert to a paid Subscription unless you cancel before the trial expires. Licensor reserves the right to modify or discontinue free trial offerings at any time.
- Individual and Individual Pro plans: 10-day free trial.
- Company and Company Pro plans: 30-day free trial.
You may be required to provide valid payment details to activate a free trial. You will not be charged until the trial period ends.
7.Subscription Plans and Billing
7.1 Subscription Tiers
The Application is offered under the following Subscription tiers. All prices are net (exclusive of applicable taxes).
| Plan | Monthly (net) | Annual (net) | Active Projects | Items / Project | Operators / Project | Free Trial |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Individual | € 3 | € 30 | 1 | 100 | 2 | 10 days |
| Individual Pro | € 10 | € 100 | 10 | 100,000 | 10 | 10 days |
| Company | € 30 | € 340 | 50 | 100,000 | 30 | 30 days |
| Company Pro | € 100 | € 1,000 | 200 | 1,000,000 | 200 | 30 days |
Additional per-tier limits on picture storage and project data retention apply as set out in the then-current Subscription details page within the Application, which may be updated from time to time.
7.2 Billing and Renewal
Subscriptions are billed on a monthly or annual basis, as selected at the time of purchase. Subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the renewal date. Licensor reserves the right to change Subscription prices upon not less than 30 days' prior written notice.
7.3 Taxes
Subscription fees are exclusive of all applicable taxes, levies, and duties. You are responsible for paying all such taxes arising in connection with your use of the Application.
7.4 Refunds
Except as required by applicable law, Subscription fees are non-refundable. If you cancel mid-period, your access will continue until the end of the paid period and will not renew thereafter.
7.5 Tier Downgrades
If you downgrade to a lower Subscription tier, limits applicable to the new tier take effect at the start of the next billing period. If your existing data exceeds the limits of the new tier, Licensor will not delete your data immediately but will restrict creation of additional items, projects, or operators until usage falls within the new tier's limits.
7.6 Merchant of Record (Paddle)
The order and payment process for all Subscriptions is conducted by Licensor's online reseller, Paddle.com Market Limited and/or its affiliates ("Paddle"). Paddle is the Merchant of Record for every Subscription transaction made through the Application. As Merchant of Record, Paddle is responsible for:
- Processing your payment and securely storing payment-method details in compliance with PCI-DSS;
- Calculating, collecting, and remitting applicable sales tax, VAT, GST, and similar taxes based on your billing location;
- Issuing invoices and receipts (which will be issued in Paddle’s name on behalf of Licensor);
- Handling chargebacks, payment disputes, and customer-service inquiries that relate to billing.
Your Subscription purchase is therefore a transaction with Paddle, acting on Licensor's behalf. By completing a Subscription purchase you also accept Paddle's Buyer Terms and Paddle's Privacy Policy, each of which is incorporated into this Agreement by reference solely with respect to the purchase, payment, and invoicing process.
7.7 Statement Descriptor and Currency
Charges from Paddle will typically appear on your bank or card statement as "PADDLE.NET* SORTINGEASY" or a similar identifier referencing Paddle. Subscription fees are listed in EUR (€); if your payment method is denominated in a different currency, your bank or card issuer may apply a currency-conversion rate and/or a foreign-transaction fee that is outside Licensor's and Paddle's control.
7.8 Cancellation and Refunds via Paddle
You may cancel your Subscription at any time from within the Application (Settings → Billing) or via the secure customer portal link included on every Paddle invoice. To request a refund, please contact Licensor first using the details in Section 18; refunds, where granted in accordance with Section 7.4 or required by applicable law (including the EU/UK statutory 14-day right of withdrawal for new consumers, where applicable), will be processed by Paddle back to the original payment method.
8.Data Collection, Privacy, and Security

8.6 Payment Data
Payment-card details, billing address, and related financial information are collected, processed, and stored solely by Paddle in its capacity as Merchant of Record (Section 7.6). Licensor does not receive, store, or have access to your full payment-card details and is not a recipient of your payment information under applicable data-protection laws. Paddle's processing of payment data is governed by Paddle's Privacy Policy.
9.Intellectual Property
The Application, including its source code, design, architecture, user interface, graphics, text, and all other content (excluding User Content), is and remains the exclusive property of Licensor and its licensors, protected by applicable intellectual property laws.

11.Updates and Modifications
Licensor may, at its sole discretion, release updates, patches, or new versions of the Application. Such updates may be required for continued use of the Application. Licensor reserves the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any feature or the Application as a whole at any time, with or without notice.
Licensor may also amend this Agreement from time to time. If material changes are made, Licensor will notify you via the Application or by email. Your continued use of the Application after the effective date of the amended Agreement constitutes your acceptance of the changes.

Licensor's total aggregate liability to you for all claims arising under or related to this Agreement shall not exceed the total Subscription fees paid by you to Licensor in the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or EUR 100, whichever is greater.
14.Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Licensor and its officers, directors, employees, agents, and licensors from and against any and all claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your use of or access to the Application; (b) your User Content; (c) your violation of this Agreement; or (d) your violation of any third-party right, including any intellectual property or privacy right.
