3.2 Accounting is subject to usage limits. Unless otherwise specified, a User’s password must not be shared. Sage Accountants may link to their client’s Accounting account for the purposes of inputting, transferring and analyzing data and documents on behalf of such clients (where the client permits this) and for making the Accounting service available to them. Not all Accounting features and functionality may be available on compatible mobile devices.

You also acknowledge that we may be provided access to your Non-Sage Application account to enable us or the third party provider of a Non-Sage Application to properly perform our obligations to you.
5.3 Accounting may contain features designed to interoperate with Non-Sage Applications. If the provider of a Non-Sage Application ceases to make the Non-Sage Application available for interoperation with the corresponding Sage Service features on reasonable terms, we may cease providing those Sage Service features without entitling you to any refund, credit or other compensation.

You are hereby informed that use of the service offered by Perspecteev is subject to your unconditional acceptance of these General Terms and Conditions of Use.

1. Purpose of these General Terms and Conditions of Use

1.1. Description of the Service

You acknowledge that the Service offered by Perspecteev is solely intended to provide You with an application that assists with personal finance management, and that any management decisions You make will be made autonomously and independently from the Service provided by Perspecteev. Perspecteev does not provide any asset or portfolio management advice or investment recommendations.

The Service offered by Perspecteev does not in any way consist in carrying out banking, payment or stock exchange transactions. The Service’s functionalities do not permit these types of transactions to be carried out.

You are hereby informed that Perspecteev is a commercial company that does not offer any banking, payment or investment services or any ancillary services within the meaning of the French Monetary and Financial Code.

Perspecteev is not authorized to provide such services and has not been licensed by the relevant authorities to provide them. Accordingly, You are hereby informed that Perspecteev cannot be considered to be a credit or payment institution.

1.2. Characteristics of the Service

The Bankin application offers a tool for online bank account, which is reserved for the personal use of each User.

It enables You to use a secure application to view all of the bank accounts You hold with different banks and the transactions registered on these accounts.

The Service offered by Perspecteev utilizes raw, unenhanced data. The Bankin application can be used to reorganize the data according to a structure that is specific to the application. Bankin Users are the sole owners of the data. Users have lawful access to the data and are freely entitled to exploit it.

2. Enrollment and Access to the Service

Acceptance and Enforcement of the General Terms and Conditions of Use
To create a user account and access the Bankin application, You must accept these General Terms and Conditions of Use, which constitute a contract between You and Perspecteev.

You can accept these General Terms and Conditions of Use through a process designed to ensure the integrity of your consent. You will first be invited to read these General Terms and Conditions of Use.

Perspecteev reserves the right to modify these General Terms and Conditions of Use as it deems necessary and useful. You will be invited to review the modified General Terms and Conditions and accept or reject them as set out in section 11.

In any event, your use of the Service indicates your unconditional acceptance of the General Terms and Conditions of Use in force at the time of use.

If any of the clauses of these General Terms and Conditions of Use are held to be invalid, never to have been written, or without effect, for any reason whatsoever, the other clauses will not be affected by such defects in any way and will remain in full force and effect.

3. How the Bankin Application Works

3.1. Bank Account Registration and Synchronization of Banking Data
The Bankin application provides You with a simple and convenient overview of all your bank accounts. You simply register the accounts You hold with different banking institutions and synchronize your bank statements.

The Bankin application can be used to register and update accounts automatically and all at once. This functionality is available only for certain banking institutions. You can consult the list of eligible institutions via the drop-down synchronization menu.

To register a bank account, You must select the name of the banking institution that holds your bank account(s) and then register your login(s) or account number(s) and password(s) for the banking institution(s).

Once You have provided this information and your account(s) have been synchronized with the Bankin application, your data will be updated automatically.

Perspecteev may decide, as of right and with no entitlement to compensation, (i) to withdraw a banking institution from the list of eligible banking institutions or (ii) to discontinue the option for automatic bank account synchronization and updating. Perspecteev will make an effort to give You reasonable advance notice of such withdrawals or discontinuations.

In order to improve the application’s functionalities, Perspecteev reserves the right to suspend access to the application for a set period of time. In that case, Perspecteev will make an effort to give You reasonable advance notice that access will be suspended.

Perspecteev will not under any circumstances be liable for the bank information and data obtained from the websites of your banking institutions, and in particular for the updating of such data.

You are solely responsible for the banking data that is synchronized with your banks and You agree to grant access to said personal data for the purpose of using the Bankin application.

In order to automatically update each User’s bank accounts and collect the corresponding banking data from different online banking services, passwords for these services must be entered automatically. You therefore accept the automated entry of the different passwords associated with the online banking services in which You enroll, and You are responsible for verifying that such operations are compatible with your contractual obligations to the banking institutions that hold your bank accounts.

3.2. Management of Personal Data

3.2.1. Disclosure of Personal Data

You expressly agree to allow your personal data relating to the accounts You hold with the banking institutions to be disclosed to Perspecteev (login and password for access to the bank’s web interface, account number, bank card number, account balance and account transactions), and to waive banking secrecy in favor of Perspecteev so that it can provide the Service, conduct maintenance operations and provide online assistance.

Accordingly, You authorize Perspecteev to access, in your name and on your behalf, each of your registered bank accounts for the purpose of carrying out all of the actions required in order to provide the Service.

3.2.2. Confidentiality of Personal Data

Perspecteev protects the confidentiality of the data it collects and attaches the utmost importance to ensuring that its web hosts and technology suppliers do the same. In this regard, Perspecteev takes all necessary precautions to preserve the confidentiality of said data and represents that it works with trustworthy web hosts and technology suppliers that are known for their reliable services and for the high degree of protection they provide for the confidentiality of personal data.

You are hereby informed that the disclosure of your authentication information (logins, passwords, etc.), in particular to Perspecteev, could constitute a violation of the general terms and conditions of use of your banking institution’s(s’) online banking service. You are aware that this may entail a full or partial waiver of your banking institution’s(s’) liability for the potentially harmful consequences of such disclosure, particularly in the event of fraudulent use of the data disclosed to Perspecteev. You represent that You are fully aware of this possibility and accept it in full knowledge of the consequences. You accordingly agree not to hold Perspecteev liable for any loss or damage relating to any use of the disclosed data.

The personal data and authentication information that is disclosed will be used solely for the purpose of providing the Service.

3.2.3. Processing of Personal Data

You expressly agree that, for the purpose of automatically updating the bank accounts You hold with banking institutions, the authentication data used for synchronization (logins, passwords, etc.) may be encrypted and anonymized and then be transmitted as necessary to Perspecteev’s web hosts and technology suppliers, which are based in the European Union and which will then synchronize the data with each of your registered banking institutions.

Perspecteev provides You with access to an appendix specifying the territory where the recipients of such data operate and explaining how the data is used (available on request).

You can also access Perspecteev’s cookies policy.

3.2.4. Protection of Personal Data

In order to provide adequate protection for your personal data, Perspecteev has ensured that its web hosts and technology providers offer all possible safeguards to ensure the protection of said data, as prescribed by the European Commission.

In this regard, its web hosts and technology providers take all necessary measures to protect data that can be used to identify You, and they use such data solely for the purposes of providing the Service.

You are hereby informed that your personal data will not be processed by Perspecteev’s web hosts unless Perspecteev instructs them to do so. In that case, Perspecteev will take all necessary precautions with regard to the nature of the data and the risks that its processing presents, with a view to maintaining the security of your personal data.

3.2.5. Statistical Processing

You recognize Perspecteev’s right to use the data for statistical purposes and, once the data has been anonymized, to transfer or assign the corresponding statistical results to any third party.

3.2.6. Protection of Privacy

This section is devoted to Perspecteev’s privacy protection policy. It provides You with details regarding the collection and use of your personal data, as well as your rights in this regard, in the aim of ensuring You have a positive and confident experience with the Service. This section is thus important for You as a User.

3.2.6.1. User Rights

The French Data Protection Act of January 6, 1978 (Loi Informatique et Libertés), as amended by the Act of August 6, 2004 relating to the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data, provides that information processing must be used for the benefit of each citizen. It must not violate human identities, human rights, privacy, individual freedom, or civil liberties.

You have the right to object, for legitimate reasons, to the processing of your personal data.

You have the right to access and correct data that concerns You. You can exercise this right by contacting Perspecteev’s User Relations Department: Service Relations Users, Perspecteev, ESSEC Ventures Campus, ESSEC, 1 Avenue Bernard Hirsch, 95000 Cergy, France, providing proof of your identity by attaching a copy of your valid identity document to your request and indicating your email address. Because individuals who wish to exercise this right are required by law to prove their identity, for security reasons Perspecteev reserves the right to request other supporting documents in case of doubt about the value and authenticity of the proof You provide.

You have the right to opt out of allowing your data to be used for marketing purposes.

3.2.6.2. Perspecteev’s Policy

Perspecteev attaches the utmost importance to respecting your privacy and complies with the provisions of the Act of January 6, 1978 as amended in 2004.

Perspecteev is responsible for the processing of personal data provided by Bankin application Users and has reported this processing to the French data protection authority, Commission Nationale de l’Informatique et des Libertés (CNIL).

Collected data is subject to computer processing for the purpose of managing your personal finances via mobile phones and the web and generating anonymous statistics, and for solicitation and marketing-related activities.

Your personal data is intended for transmission to Perspecteev and its business partners, with the exception of data covered by bank secrecy, which is never disclosed to said partners.

Subject to this proviso, Perspecteev will not transmit your data without your consent.

As provided in section 9, Perspecteev may use your personal data for direct or indirect marketing.

In this regard, Perspecteev attaches the utmost importance to obtaining your consent before your personal data is used for direct marketing by Perspecteev’s business partners. This is done by means of a checkbox, as prescribed by CNIL.

In any event, You can opt out of allowing your personal data to be used for marketing at any time by sending an email to the following address: [email protected].

4. Intellectual Property Rights

In accordance with the provisions of the French Intellectual Property Code, Perspecteev is the exclusive owner of the intellectual property rights in the Service and each of its constituent parts (i.e. associated trademarks and the Bankin application and each of its constituent parts, including the related database and documentation). As such, Perspecteev is the exclusive owner of intellectual property rights in the software, interfaces, know-how, data, text, articles, newsletters, press releases, presentations, brochures, illustrations, photographs, computer programs, animations, and all other information that it provides to You.

These General Terms and Conditions of Use do not grant You any proprietary rights in the Service or any of its components, which are and shall remain Perspecteev’s exclusive property.

The provision of the Service as provided for under these General Terms and Conditions of Use shall not be construed as a transfer of ownership to You.

Accordingly, You agree not to carry out any act or activity likely to directly or indirectly violate Perspecteev’s intellectual property rights. You will be personally responsible for handling, and agree to indemnify and hold Perspecteev harmless against any third-party claims against Perspecteev based on the grounds that the data that can be downloaded, stored, or reconstituted via the Service is subject to intellectual property rights which have been violated by said functionalities.

You are not authorized to reproduce, display, modify, translate and/or adapt any of the Service’s constituent parts, in part or in full, or to reproduce or display such translations, adaptations and/or modifications, in part or in full, without Perspecteev’s prior written authorization.

Any trademarks of products or services contained in or associated with the Service that do not belong to Perspecteev belong to their owners. References to the names, trademarks, products or services of third-party banking institutions do not constitute recommendations of their products or services.

5. Security

User accounts constitute an automated data processing system. Fraudulent access and any alterations to said system are prohibited and subject to criminal prosecution.

Sage and Perspecteev agree to do their utmost to ensure the security of user accounts. Considering the complex nature of the Internet and mobile telephone environment, Sage and Perspecteev are not bound by any obligation to achieve a specific result in this regard.

Perspecteev represents that it uses 256-bit encryption algorithms, as SSL and TLS protocols constitute a high standard of proven data security. The Service is also audited by independent external companies.

You are aware and acknowledge that data that circulates on the Internet or on mobile phone networks is not necessarily protected, particularly against potential misuse.

You represent that You are familiar with the nature and technical characteristics of Internet and mobile telephone networks, and You accept their technical constraints and the response times necessary to consult, retrieve or transfer data relating to the Service.

You are solely responsible for the use and implementation of measures to secure, protect and safeguard your hardware, software and data. In this regard, You agree to take all appropriate measures to protect your own data.

You agree not to do anything that could compromise the security of the system.

As a general matter, You are strongly advised (i) to ensure that the password You choose contains both numbers and lowercase and capital letters, in order to make the password sufficiently complex, (ii) to back up your data regularly, and (iii) to update the software You use to directly or indirectly use the Service.

You are strongly advised not to use the service on a mobile phone or computer that You do not own or which is subject to shared use with others. In these cases, Perspecteev will not under any circumstances be liable for any loss or damage You incur.

You must notify Perspecteev immediately (at the following address: [email protected]) if the banking data disclosed to Perspecteev is lost, stolen or misused, or, more generally, if the data’s confidentiality has been compromised in any way.

You will be personally responsible for ensuring, with regard to your banking institution(s), that Perspecteev and its web hosts and technology providers are able to connect to the banking institution’s(s’) website(s) and access your bank account data for the purpose of providing the Service. Accordingly, You agree to indemnify and hold Perspecteev harmless against any third-party claims against Perspecteev on the grounds that access to automated processing systems for third-party data is not authorized.

6. Illegal Content

You agree not to use the Service other than for its intended purpose, including but not limited to by accessing data that You have no right to access, downloading data that is illegal or violates the rights of third parties, or using the Service for unlawful purposes.

If this occurs, Perspecteev will not under any circumstances be held liable for the harmful consequences of such misuse of the Service. Perspecteev further reserves the right to delete any content that is illegal or violates third-party rights as soon as it is brought to Perspecteev’s attention.

7. Liability

In fulfilling its obligations under these General Terms and Conditions of Use, Perspecteev is bound by an obligation to use its best efforts.

You agree to use the Service in compliance with all of the requirements set out in these General Terms and Conditions of Use. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in these General Terms and Conditions of Use, Perspecteev and its web hosts and technology providers shall never be liable for any loss or damage if You have not fulfilled your own obligations.

Should You fail to comply with the provisions and requirements of these General Terms and Conditions of Use, You agree to compensate Perspecteev in the event of a complaint, legal action, lawsuit or judgment against it which is initiated by any third party for any reason whatsoever.

You expressly accept that You are liable for the use of the Bankin application and the information and tools included in or accessible via the Service.

You are personally and solely liable for the computer and phone equipment, software, browser, modem and in general any material You need and which is not supplied by Perspecteev in connection with the use of the Service.

Perspecteev cannot guarantee that the Service will satisfy your specific needs and requirements or that it will be provided without interruption.

As Perspecteev cannot guarantee that all of the banking institutions that hold your accounts are covered by its offer, and it has no control over the data relating to your bank accounts, Perspecteev or, as the case may be, its web hosts and technology providers, will not be liable for any loss or damage resulting from:

the unsuitability of the Service for a specific use or for your requirements and expectations, as the Bankin application is offered “as is”;
the inaccuracy or non-compliance of the information, products or other content, including in particular the information You provide, concerning your accounts, budget, or assets;
your use of or inability to use the Bankin application;
the inaccuracy or non-compliance of the results obtained through the use of the Bankin application from the bank accounts;
your use of the information or decision support tools made available to You via the Service, as You are and shall remain solely liable for the decisions and choices You make;
the temporary or permanent inaccessibility of all or part of the Service or your user account, problems relating to response times and, in general, defective performance.

Moreover, Perspecteev or, as the case may be, its web hosts and technology providers, will not be liable for any loss or damage resulting from:

a fault on your part;
your failure to comply with these General Terms and Conditions of Use;
third-party access to your data;
fraudulent use or misuse of the Service;
compromised password confidentiality;
any products, data, information or services purchased or obtained, or any messages received or transactions carried out by or via the Service provided by Perspecteev, its web hosts and technology providers, or third-party service providers;
the statements or conduct of any person in connection with the Service provided by Perspecteev and its web hosts and technology providers.

You expressly accept and acknowledge that You are responsible for any content obtained through the Bankin application, and that You are fully liable for any damage or harm caused to your computer or mobile telephone system and for any loss of data that might result from the downloading of such content.

As specified in section 3.2.2. above, with regard to the processing of the personal data that relates to your accounts with the banking institutions and is disclosed to Perspecteev, Perspecteev will not be liable in any way for any loss or damage relating to violations of the confidentiality of said data or any harmful consequences thereof.

In any event, Perspecteev’s liability will be limited solely to direct damages incurred by You, to the exclusion of indirect damages, and shall be limited to the sums collected by Perspecteev during the previous 12 months or, failing this, 100 euros, as a combined single limit for all covered events and damages. You must initiate any proceedings within 12 months following the covered event.

8. Representations of Bankin Users

You represent and warrant that the information You provide, reflects your personal situation and does not in any way misrepresent your identity. You agree to ensure that said information is and continues to remain correct and up to date.

You represent and warrant to Perspecteev that You hold the bank accounts used with the service and that You have all of the necessary powers and/or authorizations to authorize Perspecteev to access all data concerning said bank accounts.

You represent and warrant to Perspecteev that You are and will remain solely and exclusively responsible for access to and the use of the Service.

You represent that You are fully aware of the characteristics, constraints, limits and risks of the Service and You accept them.

9. Modifications of the General Terms and Conditions of Use

Perspecteev reserves the right to modify all or part of these General Terms and Conditions of Use if it deems this necessary and useful, particularly for the purpose of adapting them to changes in operation, and/or legislative changes and/or changes in its service offerings.

You will be notified whenever a new version of these General Terms and Conditions of Use is posted online. You will be invited to read and then accept them in accordance with the process described in section 2.

If You refuse to accept the new General Terms and Conditions of Use, You agree not to use the Service in any way. You cannot under any circumstances hold Perspecteev liable for any loss or damage of any kind, for any reason, if You continue to use the Service despite having refused to accept the new General Terms and Conditions of Use.

In any event, if You use the Service in any way following a modification of the General Terms and Conditions of Use, You will be deemed to have accepted the new General Terms and Conditions.

10. Phishing

Identity theft and phishing practices are key concerns for Perspecteev. One of Perspecteev’s top priorities is to protect information in order to help You guard against identity theft. Perspecteev will never, under any circumstances, ask You for your social security number or national identification number by phone, email, text message or any other means.

11. Term

This contract is entered into for the same duration as the contract entered between You and Sage.

12. Termination

Perspecteev may terminate your user account immediately if You fail to comply with any of the provisions of these General Terms and Conditions of Use.

13. Assignment

These General Terms and Conditions of Use may be assigned by Perspecteev in full or in part, for a fee or free of charge, without your consent, provided that such assignment does not reduce your rights under these General Terms and Conditions of Use.

14. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These General Terms and Conditions of Use and all matters resulting from or relating to these General Terms and Conditions of Use or the application hereof, including their content, are governed by French law, irrespective of the place of performance of the material or ancillary obligations.

If You have questions or complaints concerning these General Terms and Conditions of Use, You may contact Perspecteev at the following address: ESSEC Ventures Campus, ESSEC, 1 Avenue Bernard Hirsch, 95000 Cergy, France.

Any disagreement or dispute with non-consumers that cannot first be settled amicably will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the French courts in the district where Perspecteev’s principal office is located.
