The GTC are available to the customer, who may consult and download them at the time of subscription. Likewise, to facilitate access to them, these GTC are available on the website owned by Quipu https://getquipu.com (hereinafter, the “Website”).
Accept cookies. This notice will not be shown again when accessing any page of the portal during this session.

The GTC that apply to the customer are those in force on the date of the Subscription or on the date of renewal by the customer.

3. Contracted QUIPU Services and scope of acceptance of the GTC

3.1. Through the Website, customers are offered a license to use software specialized in invoicing, accounting, and treasury management for small and medium-sized enterprises (hereinafter jointly the ‘Quipu Services’). The remaining services advertised and promoted by Quipu are entirely provided and offered by third-party companies unrelated to Quipu (hereinafter, the ‘Third-party Final Provider’), and consequently Quipu’s only involvement therein shall be the mere advertising and promotion of the services offered and provided by said Third-party Final Provider.

3.2. By accepting these GTC, Quipu grants its customers, on a non-transferable and non-exclusive basis and under the terms and conditions set out in these GTC, a right to use its web platform and its various features (hereinafter, the ‘Platform’), without granting said customer any right to exploit the intellectual and industrial property thereof, a fact which the customer declares to be aware of.

3.3. To this end, given that the users of the Quipu Services (hereinafter, and as referred to throughout these conditions, the “customers”) are exclusively legal entities or companies that implement them internally to be used by their employees, it is hereby stated that in such cases the customers are entirely responsible for the proper use of the Quipu Services by any person under their charge who has access, undertaking to ensure that all their employees use them correctly and comply with what is set out herein. Evidently, the aforementioned services may also be contracted by individuals carrying out a professional or commercial activity under the self-employed regime or any other applicable one.

3.4. If the Client is a legal entity, these GTC are accepted on behalf of the Client, and you therefore declare that you have sufficient legal capacity to accept them and bind the Client to them. Quipu does not verify the existence of powers of representation, nor the sufficiency of any existing powers for the User to act on behalf of the Client, nor the existence or identity of the User. Therefore, each User must make diligent and prudent use of Quipu's Services and of access to the Platform. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in cases where the client wishes the invoicing records to be submitted to the Electronic Office of the Tax Agency by Quipu or a third party, it will be necessary to first sign the corresponding authorization for this purpose, with the obligation falling on the Client to provide the supporting documentation of the power under which the signatory acts.

3.5. These GTC govern the conditions for contracting and accessing the Platform, and therefore Quipu's Services, by the client, all without prejudice to the general terms of use (hereinafter, the "GTU") of the Platform accepted by the client or those of the third-party final Provider that the client may have accepted or signed directly with the latter. In all cases, these GTC shall prevail over any other document signed between Quipu and the client.

4. Acceptance and possible modification of the GTC

4.1. The customer’s use of and access to the Platform implies acceptance of these GTC. Likewise, in order to contract the provision of the Quipu Services, customers are required to complete a form with their identifying details and to expressly accept these GTC, the General Terms of Use (“GTU”), as well as the Privacy and Cookies Policy. In case of any doubt regarding this document, the customer may contact us using the identifying details mentioned in these General Conditions. You can consult the following documents by clicking on the following links GTC, GTU and Privacy and Cookies Policy, which may likewise be consulted on our Website.

4.2. Quipu reserves the right to modify the content of the GTC at any time, so the customer is invited to review the conditions applicable at any given moment. In any case, this will not affect the customer, who will be subject to the GTC in force on the Website at the time of contracting the Services.

4.3. These Conditions may be formalized in any of the languages in which the GTC are available on the Website, at the Customer’s choice.

5. Process for Contracting the Services

5.1. In order to contract the Quipu Services, the customer must accept these GTC.

5.2. Access to the Platform is provided via the internet and requires the client to have previously registered and accepted the GTU. To do so, the client must enter the personal data marked as mandatory on the main page of our Website and click the 'Try it for free' button, thereby creating a Free Trial Account. If the client already has a personal account, they can log in by clicking 'Sign in' and entering their email address and password.

5.3. This Free Trial Account is made available to clients for a period of fifteen (15) days from the date of subscription, so that they can test the Platform's features before possibly subscribing to a paid Service Plan, whose features and prices are clearly set out on the Website.

5.4. Once the paid Service Plan has been confirmed by the client, a message will appear on their screen indicating that the operation has been completed successfully, and we will send them by email our confirmation of the service subscription, along with the corresponding invoice (hereinafter, the “Contract Confirmation”), provided that the client has given us their email address in their personal data form. Quipu is not responsible for errors or the non-functioning of the email address provided by the client.

5.5. Once the client or their authorized employees have logged in, they may select on the Platform the Quipu Services or those of the third-party Final Provider that they wish to contract. If they select the services of a third-party provider, the client will access the latter's Website directly, which is hereby noted is not operated by Quipu and over which Quipu exercises no control. As previously stated, the terms of any contract that may be entered into between the client and the third-party Final Provider of the service will be governed by the provisions of the aforementioned contract and/or terms they sign, in which Quipu neither intervenes nor is a party.

5.6. In any case, the client's contracting of Quipu Services shall entitle all of their authorized employees to access said Services.

6. Limitation of Quipu's liability

6.1. Quipu shall in no case be liable for:

  • The content hosted on the Platform regarding third-party Final Providers or their services;
  • Any potential damage to clients' equipment due to improper use;
  • Damage caused by a virus infection on clients' equipment;
  • Errors caused by access providers;
  • Any unlawful interference by a third party;
  • The possible consequences of entering faulty or incorrect information into the Platform;
  • Faulty configuration by the client.

In any of the cases where Quipu incurs liability and where such liability has been sufficiently proven, the total compensation that Quipu must pay the client, on any grounds, as a result of its actions, shall in no case exceed the amount equivalent to the last twelve (12) monthly payments made by the client to Quipu. Likewise, in the event of a client claim, the latter must bring it within 12 months from the occurrence of the event giving rise to said claim; after that period the client may not bring it.

6.2. Quipu cannot guarantee and therefore is not liable for the client having such access to the Platform at all times, whether due to unforeseeable circumstances or circumstances that, even if foreseeable, prevent the performance of the Quipu Services for reasons beyond Quipu's control or that cannot be avoided (natural disasters, power supply failures, terrorist attacks, accidents, cyberattacks, etc.). In any of these cases, Quipu is not liable for fulfilling its obligations set out in these GTC and the GTU, nor for direct or indirect damages caused to the client due to such circumstances or others of a similar nature. Indirect damages shall be understood to mean, without this list being exhaustive, any loss of profit, loss of business opportunity, loss of data, or increase in coverage.

6.3. For the services provided by the third-party Final Provider, the latter shall be the sole and direct party responsible for the provision of said services, with Quipu remaining entirely uninvolved and assuming no liability whatsoever for the consequences that may arise from the provision of the services offered by the third-party Final Provider. Nevertheless, Quipu always expressly requests all third-party Final Providers to correctly provide their services, in full compliance with the standards of the relevant sector. The client expressly accepts this limitation of Quipu's liability, which is essential for all purposes. The services of third-party Final Providers will be provided under the conditions set out in the latter's General and Specific Terms of Contract (hereinafter the 'General Terms of the third-party Final Provider'), which must be accepted by the client at the time of contracting them. In any case, the third-party Final Provider is the sole and direct party responsible for its General Terms, so Quipu assumes no liability regarding them.

6.4.- Although the third-party Final Providers are companies with extensive experience and recognised prestige, Quipu cannot verify or guarantee that the information contained in the Platform or on the third-party Final Provider's own website is accurate, complete and correct. However, Quipu uses all means at its disposal to ensure that third-party Final Providers only offer real services under precise conditions. This is why the third-party Final Provider is solely responsible for the information (prices, configuration, features, extras, accuracy, correctness of descriptions, including images, etc.) included in the Platform or on their own websites regarding their services. The client accepts that any claim in this regard shall be made directly and exclusively against the third-party Final Provider of the service, since Quipu merely performs a function of promoting the services of the third-party Final Providers.

7. Price and method of payment

7.1. The Price of the Quipu Services shall be that subscribed to by the client at the time of subscribing to the paid Account; the aforementioned prices and features are detailed at the time of subscription.

7.2. Quipu will issue an annual/monthly invoice to the Company based on the plan it has contracted.

7.3. The Company undertakes to pay said invoice in cash.

7.4. Quipu only invoices for the licence to use the Platform; it does not invoice or manage the collection of the third-party Final Provider's services.

7.5. Quipu reserves the right to pass on any collection costs that may have been generated due to the client's non-payment and that result from the latter, as well as any late payment interest that may apply.

7.6. The price will be subject to the indirect tax rate corresponding to the agreed period, which may be increased, where applicable, as a result of changes to the applicable legal regulations.

8. Duration and termination of the contract

8.1. In the event of an annual contract for the service, should the client so decide, said contract will have a duration of one year from its signing unless a specific contract is in place. This contract will be tacitly renewed for equal periods if neither Party, by means of a notification in the Settings > Subscription > Cancel section and with a minimum of 1 month's notice before the expiry of the initial duration period or any of its extensions, communicates its wish not to renew it. Should you wish to terminate the contract during the contracted period, no refunds will be made for the remaining period due to non-use of the Platform.

8.2. In the event of a monthly contract, should you so decide, you will have the right to terminate this contract freely and without penalty with a minimum notice period of 1 month. This contract will be tacitly renewed for equal periods if neither Party, by means of a notification in the Settings > Subscription > Cancel section and with a minimum of 1 month's notice before the expiry of the initial duration period or any of its extensions, communicates its wish not to renew it." Should you wish to terminate the contract during the contracted period, no refunds will be made for the remaining period due to non-use of the Platform.

8.3. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties may terminate the contractual relationship entered into and bring it to an end, releasing themselves from their respective obligations, in the event that either of them repeatedly breaches any obligations to which they are subject, and without prejudice to the legal consequences of termination for the breaching party.

8.4. Likewise, the parties may terminate the contractual relationship entered into by mutual agreement.
