1. Creating your SumUp account

To use the Services, you must be at least 18 years old and register an account with us (“SumUp Account”, “Profile” or “Account”). By accepting these Terms you confirm that you are an entrepreneur, freelancer, or business owner and use the services exclusively for business use. Minors are prohibited from registering.

You may only register for one SumUp Account, unless we explicitly approve the opening of additional Accounts. You may create or cause the creation of sub-accounts for your authorised employees or other representatives and/or give access to other users, part of your team (“Authorised User”). Through such sub-accounts and/or authorized access your Authorised Users can access your SumUp Account and use the Services on your behalf. Any Authorised Users must be separately registered with us, and it is your responsibility to ensure that they comply with these General Terms and any applicable Additional Terms. We reserve the right to limit the number of your sub-accounts and to refuse the registration of your Authorised Users. 

In connection with registering for and using your Account, you may be asked to provide your name, e-mail address, and other information. We will use the information for a number of purposes, including to verify your identity, perform credit checks and to meet our legal and regulatory obligations. You can read more about how we use your data in our Konfidencialitātes politikā. You must provide complete and accurate information to SumUp and keep the information in your SumUp Account up-to-date. You can inform us of any changes by contacting SumUp Klientu atbalsta centru. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your Account, and/or limit access to any of the Services, if you do not provide complete and accurate information or if you fail to meet any Account registration or verification requirements.

2. Data privacy

Data privacy is important to us. By accepting these General Terms and creating a SumUp Account, you acknowledge that you have read SumUp’s Konfidencialitātes politikai, which explains how SumUp and its affiliates process and protect your personal data when they act as a data controller. Any questions relating to data protection should be directed to [email protected].

3. Securing your SumUp account

SumUp has adopted various measures designed to keep your information secure, but you also play an essential role in preventing unauthorised access to your Account. You are responsible for safeguarding your Account password and login information. Do not write down your password or store it electronically in an unsecured manner. Do not store your password on or with your computer or mobile device. Never share your password with anyone and when entering it ensure that no one else can see it. You must change your password and immediately notify SumUp Klientu atbalsta centram, if your password or login information is lost or stolen, if there is unauthorised access to your Account, or if you discover or suspect any other potential security breach.

4. Product, services & fees

SumUp and its affiliates may offer various products or services as part of the Services, governed in part by Additional Terms. By using such Additional Services you agree to any relevant Additional Terms, and those Additional Terms will apply between us (or our affiliate) and you with respect to the Additional Services. These General Terms also will apply to the Additional Services unless otherwise provided for in the Additional Terms. 

SumUp and its affiliates may offer certain Services to be paid by you on a recurring basis or on an as-used basis (“Fees”). By using such Services, you agree to pay the fees and any applicable taxes in accordance with the terms of the relevant Additional Terms. Fees may be paid by various payment methods made available by SumUp. You agree and authorise that SumUp, on its own behalf or as an agent for its affiliates, may collect fees for Services via any available method, including charging a debit card or credit card linked to your Account or deduction from your transaction proceeds. Current Maksas can be found on our Website.

Fees charged on a recurring basis (“Subscription Fees”) will be charged upon purchase, as well as on the relevant renewal date until cancelled. Your Subscription Plan will renew automatically unless cancelled. You can cancel your Subscription Plan at any time, and you will continue to have access to the relevant product or service until the end of your current subscription period, when the next Subscription Fee is due to be paid. Subscription Fees are non-refundable, and we do not provide refunds or credits for any partial subscription periods or unused services.

If a payment is not successfully settled, due to expiration, insufficient funds, or otherwise, and you do not cancel your subscription plan, we may suspend your access to the relevant product or service until we have successfully received a payment of the Subscription Fee. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, in the event of non-payment of the Subscription Fee, even if such non-payment occurs on a singular occasion, SumUp shall be  entitled to either terminate this Agreement forthwith or suspend the provision of services to the party, without necessitating any prior notification. SumUp reserves the right to charge you a fee for any related additional costs (such as banking fees) incurred by SumUp in relation to investigating or mediating any failed Subscription Fee payments. 

SumUp reserves the right to bill fees from any entity in the SumUp Group and to change billing entities as it deems appropriate.

Notice on the right of withdrawal

SumUp provides all its services and products exclusively to entrepreneurs and businesses as stated above. Accordingly, there is no right of withdrawal. 

5. Notices and communication

We may need to reach you from time to time regarding your Account or use of the Services. You agree that we can provide written notice and other information to you by sending it via email to the primary email address associated with your Account or via text message to the primary mobile telephone number associated with your Account, pushing it via the Services, and/or by publishing it on our App or Website. Any such electronic communication will be considered received by you within 24 hours of transmission, so please make it a habit to check your Account and email regularly. Please also be sure to keep the email address and other contact information in your Account accurate and up-to-date, as we will not be responsible if a communication does not reach you because you failed to do so. We also reserve the right to contact you by mail or by telephone, as necessary. Any communication or notice sent by mail will be deemed received by you 7 days from the date of mailing.

To the extent we are able, we will communicate to you using the language of the country you choose during registration; however, we reserve the right to communicate to you in English as necessary, and you agree that communication in English is adequate for all purposes under these General Terms and any Additional Terms.
