1. PARTIES TO THE AGREEMENT AND ACCEPTANCE
This agreement is made between Baydar Slotenmaker, which provides the SmithBuddy application and web-based services ("Platform"), and the user who downloads, installs, or accesses the platform via the web. By creating an account on the Platform, you declare that you have read, understood, and fully accepted all legal terms, restrictions, and obligations contained in this document.
2. GRANT OF LICENSE AND USAGE RESTRICTIONS
Baydar Slotenmaker grants you a worldwide, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and non-sublicensable right to use the platform solely for the purpose of managing your commercial and professional workflow, provided you comply with the terms of this agreement. The user hereby agrees and undertakes not to perform the following actions:
Copying, reproducing, modifying, or engaging in reverse engineering activities to obtain the source code of the software forming the platform's infrastructure.
Using the system as a tool for illegal activities, money laundering, fraud, or actions that violate the rights of third parties.
Using malicious software, viruses, or automated data scraping bots that compromise the security, integrity, or performance of the platform.
3. ACCOUNT SECURITY AND LOCAL DATA OBLIGATIONS
The user is responsible for the currency and accuracy of the information provided when creating an account. The obligation to ensure the security of the password and device used to access the account belongs to the user. Baydar Slotenmaker cannot be held responsible under any circumstances for the leakage or loss of data stored locally on the device due to device loss, theft, intentional removal of operating system security barriers by the user, or physical or virtual access by third parties.
Fiscal & Tax Documents
Smithbuddy is not a fiscal, accounting, or tax-compliance tool. Documents it generates — including POS receipts, estimates, and invoices — are for your internal records and customer convenience and are not certified fiscal documents. Where your country requires certified invoicing software, fiscal devices, or real-time reporting (e.g. e-invoicing or fiscalization mandates), you remain solely responsible for issuing the legally compliant document through the appropriate certified system. You are responsible for meeting all tax and record-keeping obligations in your jurisdiction.
4. SUBSCRIPTION SYSTEM, PRICING, AND CANCELLATION CONDITIONS
Access to the advanced features offered by the Platform is provided through paid subscription packages.
For subscriptions initiated through mobile devices, purchase, renewal, and cancellation processes are entirely subject to the rules and billing systems of the official app store to which the relevant device is connected. The user must manage their subscription through the account settings section of their device.
For subscriptions initiated through web or desktop platforms, payments are taken through authorized payment providers with international security standards, and cancellation can be performed from the settings menu within the platform.
All subscriptions automatically renew for the same period and price unless cancelled at least twenty-four hours before the end of the current usage period. Due to the nature of software and digital services, refunds for used or partially used periods are not provided retroactively, except as required by law.
5. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS
The design, interface, logos, algorithms, and entire software architecture of the Platform are the exclusive property of Baydar Slotenmaker and are protected by copyright laws. The ownership rights of customer lists, invoice contents, and notes related to their own business uploaded by users to the platform belong entirely to the user. Baydar Slotenmaker does not claim any rights over the user's data.
6. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
The Platform is provided as-is and without any warranty of flawlessness. Baydar Slotenmaker:
Does not guarantee that the service will be completely uninterrupted, error-free, or one hundred percent suitable for a specific purpose.
Cannot be held responsible for data losses that may occur due to natural disasters, cyber attacks, infrastructure failures, interruptions caused by internet service providers, or unforeseen system crashes.
Cannot be held liable in any way for loss of profit, customer reputation loss, business interruption, or indirect commercial damages that may arise from the use of the Platform. Regular backup of critical business data is the user's primary responsibility.
7. INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATION
The user is solely responsible for all legal disputes that may arise if they violate applicable laws or the privacy rights of their own customers during the use of the platform. The user agrees to fully cover all claims, penalties, litigation costs, and damages that may be directed at our company by third parties or official institutions, and to hold Baydar Slotenmaker harmless from such claims.
8. AMENDMENTS TO THE AGREEMENT AND TERMINATION
Baydar Slotenmaker reserves the right to make unilateral amendments to the terms of this agreement as required by technical necessities or legal regulations. Significant changes will be notified to users through the platform. The user acknowledges that their account may be suspended or permanently closed without prior notice if they violate these terms. This agreement is deemed unilaterally terminated the moment the user deletes their account and all data through the platform.
9. SEVERABILITY AND JURISDICTION
If any provision of this agreement is deemed invalid by competent judicial authorities, it shall not affect the validity and binding nature of the other provisions. Netherlands law shall apply and the Courts of the Netherlands shall have jurisdiction in resolving any disputes that may arise from this agreement.
