SumUp Kiosk Terms
Effective 16 January 2023
Note: Please print a copy of this document and retain it for future reference.
By using SumUp’s Kiosk service as described herein below ("Kiosk Service", “SumUp Kiosk” or the “Software”), you agree to be bound by SumUp’s General Terms, these Kiosk Terms, and all other terms and policies applicable to specific Services that you may use. These Kiosk Terms are Additional Terms and, with the General Terms and the Payment Terms, are part of the legal agreement between you (“Merchant”, “your”) and SumUp Payments Limited (“SumUp”, “we”, “us”, “our”). Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalised terms have the same meaning as in the General Terms.
1. Kiosk Service
SumUp Kiosk is a self-ordering point-of-sale (POS) terminal that enables Merchant’s end customers (“Customer(s)”) to place their orders and make card payments. For the avoidance of doubt, SumUp Payment Services are separate services provided by SumUp along with the Kiosk Service.
SumUp Kiosk comprises an end-user software application owned by SumUp providing a touch screen interface that guides Customers through the various tasks that can be performed (SumUp Kiosk Application). These tasks include accessing Merchant’s digital catalogue of items presented on the screen, ordering of items, check-out and redirecting to card payments through SumUp Payment Services. An order is considered completed via SumUp Kiosk when the Customer has paid it via SumUp Payment Services. Once a Customer has placed an order, the latter will be required to collect the ordered items directly from the Merchant at the location specified in the SumUp Kiosk Application (the “Pick-up Location”). The hardware along with the Android operating system on which SumUp Kiosk is deployed (together referred to as the “Hardware”) can be purchased from our SumUp Shop. SumUp’s Terminal Purchase Terms shall apply to your purchase of the Hardware. Please see Section 6 for more details about the Hardware.
The Software may enable the Merchant to link to, or otherwise access applications, or create integrations with other services, including but not limited to point-of-sale systems and services (“Integration”).
“Dashboard” shall refer to the software operating a platform-based dashboard allowing the Merchant to remotely customise the locations of the Hardware embedding SumUp Kiosk and the items to be presented to Customers through SumUp Kiosk, manage the Integration, and monitor the orders processed through SumUp Kiosk. The Dashboard is accessible through the SumUp App and Merchant’s SumUp Account.
2. Your responsibilities
You warrant that your use of our Kiosk Services will comply with all applicable laws and regulations, including consumer and related laws. We are not liable for your non-compliance with any laws or regulations and you will hold harmless and indemnify SumUp against any and all loss, cost, damages or liabilities which SumUp may incur or sustain as a result of your non-compliance. We do not warrant, endorse, guarantee, or assume responsibility for goods or services that you may offer on the Kiosk or for claims made against you.
In particular, you agree that you are solely responsible for the following in connection with your use of the Kiosk Services:

3. Rights of use
SumUp grants you for the territory where you offer your products and services via Kiosk a limited, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, non-transferable and revocable right during the term of your subscription period to access, use and, as applicable, install and run the Software, and its accompanying documentation, as part of the Kiosk Service as made available by us in accordance with this Kiosk terms and any additional Use restrictions (including any limitations on the number of authorised users identified by your administrator and approved by us).

In addition, any Third Party Materials not embedded in the Software may be subject to separate license agreements or terms directly between you and the third party licensor. You agree to, and will take all actions necessary or required by such third party licensor in connection with, any such third party agreements or terms. Except as expressly stated otherwise in these Kiosk Terms, (i) we are not responsible for providing any Third Party Materials to you and (ii) licenses, warranties and support for Third Party Materials, if any, will be given by the relevant third party licensors in their license agreements, and not by us. For Third Party Materials embedded in the Software, if any, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, revocable, non-transferable, non-sublicensable sublicense to use such Third Party Materials, solely as embedded in the Software, solely to the extent necessary and for the purpose to properly use the Software in accordance with these Kiosk Terms.
