Introduction
The software provided by Accounda
enables a fast and secure integration of a centralized login system for
websites and applications that meets modern security standards. The software
supports flexible and convenient login via Google, Microsoft and other
providers.
The login system combines high security through MFA
with user-friendliness of Open Authorization (OAuth2). End users benefit from
centralized account management via the dashboard and a login process for
websites and applications that does not require the creation of multiple
accounts. Developers can easily integrate the comprehensive login system using
clear APIs and detailed documentation. This creates a modern, secure and
flexible login experience.
Multi-factor authentication (MFA) ensures the
protection of user accounts. This initially includes the verification of
identity by means of e-mail confirmations. Moreover, authenticator apps (such
as Google Authenticator or Microsoft Authenticator) can be connected for additional
security. These generate time-limited one-time passwords (OTPs) that provide a
high level of security while being easy to use.
Applicability
of the General Terms and Conditions (GTC)
The following terms and conditions shall apply to all
services provided by the Contractor under this contract through the software
systems provided. The Client's terms and conditions of purchase are hereby
excluded for the legal transaction in question and the entire business
relationship. Offers are always subject to change.
Unless expressly agreed otherwise, our GTC notified to the contractual
partner shall apply. Our contractual partner agrees that in the event of the
use of GTC on his part, our terms and conditions must be assumed in case of
doubt, even if the contractual partner's conditions remain uncontradicted. In
this respect, acts of contract fulfillment on our part shall not be deemed to
be acceptance of contractual terms that deviate from our conditions.

Services provided and general terms of use
Accounda
provides free services and services as part of subscriptions. In this context,
a distinction is made between two user groups:
(a)
"App
Owners": Are providers of applications such as websites, programs, etc.
After creating an account (free of charge) as part of our free services, app
owners can (i) create "Apps" (= reference
to applications) and (ii) test authorization locally, on their own computer.
Paid subscriptions allow the app owner to publish the apps. This enables
authorization for end users via our centralized login system.
(b)
"End
Users": After creating an account (free of charge), End Users can use our
free services as a central login system. To do this, end users can authorize
apps in order to log in to the app owner's
applications flexibly and conveniently via Google, Microsoft and other
providers, among others.
The use of
free services is only permitted for app-owners and end users in the context of
their business activities or for private purposes. Subscribers may use the subscription
service during the subscription period solely for their business or private purposes.
The functionalities of the subscription can be found on our website.
The free
service is activated when an account is opened. If a subscription with
functionalities that go beyond the free services is chosen, the activation is
made by paying for the selected subscription.
You take
note that our services are not designed to store or process protected
information in any way, and therefore no special protection is provided with
respect to transmitted data. You further acknowledge that if you transmit
protected information, you do so at your own risk and that no liability
(damages) may arise for Accounda from such
transmission.
Support
Accounda provides technical support for the Services. You can contact our online
support at accounda.com/dashboard/support/.
You can submit support requests at any time via the link above. We will answer
your request as soon as possible.
Accounda provides updates to the Services automatically. The maintenance tasks
required for this purpose (except for urgent updates) are carried out outside
of peak periods of use, to minimise the impact on
users.
Subscription
Prices
The services
under a paid subscription are accessible in the form of a monthly or
annual subscription. The prices for Accounda's
services are stated on our website. All prices on our website are quoted in
euros including VAT (Austrian VAT: 20%). When you sign the contract, you will
receive an invoice in which the VAT/VAT rate is explicitly stated in addition
to the gross price.
Accounda
may change the prices for renewal periods upon written notice. If you do not
accept the price change, you may waive the use of your paid account in
accordance with the „Cancellation of Subscription“
section.
Subscription Period
By subscribing, you sign up
for a tariff with recurring payments. After each subscription period, your
subscription service will automatically renew with the current products, for
the same time period (one month if you have opted for
a monthly plan, or one year if you have opted for an annual plan).
The
"subscription period" begins with payment of the fee and ends after
one month or year. The subscription is renewed on the last day of the
subscription period. Where required by law, Accounda
will inform you in advance of the automatic renewal of your subscription.
You authorize
Accounda to charge you the price applicable to your
paid subscription at the beginning of each new subscription period and to
charge you through the payment method provided (via Stripe). You agree to
promptly notify Accounda in writing of any changes to
your billing information during the period of a subscription.
In
the event that the agreed payment method fails, we
will inform you of this. In this case, the service will be switched to the
status of a "free service". Your data will be preserved completely,
but access (by the end user) to your applications (through
the use of apps) will no longer be possible. When you contract a new
subscription, the services can be used again completely.
Cancellation of Subscription
Subscriber may cancel the subscription at any time prior to the
end of the current subscription period. After canceling, you can use all the
features of your subscription until the end of the current subscription period.
Accounda reserves the right to block access to the Services if

vulnerability, (b) interferes with others' use of the Services, or (c)
infringes the intellectual property or copyrights of Accounda

Disclaimer
Liability for damages or

damages for which it is demonstrably responsible in the event of gross
negligence. This shall also apply mutatis mutandis to damage attributable to
third parties engaged by the Contractor.

properly due to force majeure, such as war, terrorism, natural disasters, fire,
strike, lockout, embargo, sovereign intervention, failure of the power supply,
failure of means of transport, failure of telecommunications networks or data
lines, changes in the law affecting the services after conclusion of the
contract or other non-availability of products, this shall not constitute a
breach of contract.

arising from this contract that cannot be settled by mutual agreement the
contracting parties shall agree by mutual consent to consult registered
mediators (ZivMediatG) specialising
in commercial mediation and recorded in the list of the Ministry of Justice on
the out-of-court settlement of the conflict. If no agreement is reached on the
choice of business mediators or the content of the agreement, legal steps shall
be initiated at the earliest one month from the date of the break-down

shall entitle the contracting parties to prematurely terminate the contract
without notice.

one or more provisions of the contract be or become invalid or unenforceable in
whole or in part, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining
provisions. The invalid or unenforceable provision shall be replaced by a valid
provision that comes as close as possible to the economic purpose of the
invalid or unenforceable clause.

Contractor (Accounda) shall be entitled to use third
parties in whole or in part to fulfill its obligations.

Conditions“ are effective as of the date set out
