1. General
ReceiptHero Oy has developed an open ReceiptHero ecosystem for receipts that enables the transmission of electronic receipts ("ReceiptHero").
ReceiptHero can be utilised by merchants who produce receipts ("Merchants"), application developers who process receipts ("Application Developers", in relation to their applications ("Partner Applications"), business customers along with their representatives ("Business Customers"), as well as consumers who have reached the age of majority ("Consumers", Business Customers and Consumers also referred to hereinafter as "End Users"). The Application Developer may request ReceiptHero to process also the electronic receipts of those Application Developer's customers who have no contractual relationship with ReceiptHero (“Application Developer's Customers”).
These terms and conditions define the terms in accordance with which ReceiptHero will be integrated as part of the Partner Application and under which the Application Developer may use ReceiptHero in his business.
2. Agreement
These terms and conditions, together with the Privacy Notice available on ReceiptHero's website, as well as any other contractual appendices separately identified by ReceiptHero and the Application Developer, form the entire agreement concerning ReceiptHero between ReceiptHero and the Application Developer ("Agreement").
The Agreement is concluded when the Application Developer has approved the Agreement in writing. In case of conflicts between the Agreement documents, the ReceiptHero's Privacy Notice and the other contractual appendices provided by ReceiptHero, complementing one another without any order of precedence, will take precedence over these terms and conditions.
3. Integration
ReceiptHero is integrated into the Partner Application under a separate integration project (“Integration”). Integration is executed through interfaces provided by ReceiptHero and in accordance with ReceiptHero's requirements and specifications.
The Application Developer performs the Integration at its own expense and in its desired schedule, unless otherwise agreed in the Agreement. The Application Developer keeps ReceiptHero aware of the progress of the Integration and answers ReceiptHero's questions about Integration without undue delay.
The Application Developer may begin to utilise ReceiptHero when ReceiptHero has approved the Integration in writing.
4. Principal Tasks of the Application Developer
The principal tasks of the Application Developer are (i) to provide End Users with inspection and viewing services of electronic receipts ("ReceiptHero Receipt") and other added value services based on ReceiptHero Receipts; (ii) to provide End Users with so called first level support services in case of faults or defects in ReceiptHero, (iii) 1 (9) to, for their own part, maintain the Integration, Partner Application and other operational environments or network connections that are necessary for the functioning of ReceiptHero, and (iv) to, for their own part, strive to ensure that End Users do not misuse ReceiptHero.
The Application Developer is also responsible for ensuring that its own staff, who are in contact with ReceiptHero, are familiar with the basic features and operating principles of ReceiptHero, and are committed to confidentiality in the processing of data.
Upon request of ReceiptHero or a Business Customer, the developer shall promptly prevent Business customer representatives from accessing ReceiptHero in connection with the Partner Application, who are no longer employed by Business Customer.
In addition, the Application Developer shall, at the request of ReceiptHero or the End User, delete the data of End Users for which the deletion or termination of processing has been requested by the End User under data protection legislation, and otherwise provide reasonable assistance in the fulfilment of other obligations arising from data protection legislation.
5. Partner Application and Services of the Application Developer
The Application Developer is obligated to include ReceiptHero's Terms and Conditions for End Users and ReceiptHero's Privacy Notice as part of the Partner Application so that the End User, who activates ReceiptHero through the Partner Application, approves the above mentioned terms in connection with the activation process. The execution of these features will be defined in detail and accepted in connection with the Integration.
The Application Developer defines the exact content of the services offered by the Application Developer to End Users as well as the applicable terms and fees, and is solely responsible for the production of the services.
6. Maintenance, Faults and Support Services of ReceiptHero
ReceiptHero makes reasonable efforts to ensure that ReceiptHero and its interfaces are available 24 hours per day every day of the year, excluding the development and service windows of which ReceiptHero endeavours to communicate well in advance.
In case of a fault or a defect, the Application Developer must notify ReceiptHero without delay. The Application Developer must also provide End Users so called first level support in case of faults or defects.
ReceiptHero delivers the Application Developer the necessary instructions and materials for the provision of first level support services. The Application Developer may escalate an End User's support request to ReceiptHero for so called second level support, if the support request cannot be solved with the help of the instructions and materials provided by ReceiptHero.
7. Modifications
ReceiptHero may develop and modify ReceiptHero. ReceiptHero has the right to modify these Terms and Conditions, ReceiptHero Terms and Conditions for End Users as well as the ReceiptHero Privacy Notice by informing of this for at least 90 days in advance. If the Application Developer uses ReceiptHero thereafter, such use is considered to be an acceptance of the updated Terms and Conditions, Terms and Conditions for End Users or Privacy Notice. Application Developer must provide the updated terms as part of the Partner Application.
The modifications of other agreement documents must be separately agreed in writing in order for them to be valid.

The parties agree that a void or invalid term will be replaced by a corresponding term agreed by both parties and the purpose of such a term shall be as equivalent as possible to the economic objectives of the void or invalid term.
