Terms & Conditions for
Application Developers


1. General
ReceiptHero Oy has developed an open ReceiptHero ecosystem for receipts that enables the transmission of electronic receipts and thereto related services ("ReceiptHero Service").The ReceiptHero Service 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 are also referred to hereinafter as "End Users". The Application Developer may request ReceiptHero to also process the electronic receipts of those Application Developer's customers who have no contractual relationship with ReceiptHero (“Application Developer's Customers”).

A number of co-operation partners of ReceiptHero, such as point-of-sale or cash register providers, payment service providers, payment card schemes, or other trusted service providers operating within the payment networks (hereinafter jointly “Co-Operation Partners”) also contribute to the provisioning of the ReceiptHero Service. Our Co-Operation Partners, Merchants and Partner Applications have been listed out at ReceiptHero's website (https://www.getreceipthero.com...) and in the ReceiptHero Service.These terms and conditions define the terms according to which the ReceiptHero Service will be integrated as part of the Partner Application and under which the Application Developer may use the ReceiptHero Service in its business.

2. Agreement
These terms and conditions, together with any other agreement documents separately agreed by ReceiptHero and the Application Developer, form the entire agreement concerning the ReceiptHero Service 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 other agreement documents and these terms and conditions, the other agreement documents will prevail.

3. Integration, Relationships with End Users
The ReceiptHero Service is integrated with 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 the ReceiptHero Service when ReceiptHero has approved the Integration in writing.As a part of the Integration, the parties shall agree how contracts with end-customers are to be concluded. The end-customers may be End Users of ReceiptHero and also users of the Partner Applications.

Unless otherwise agreed, ReceiptHero and the Application Developer shall each conclude their respective agreements with the end-customers, and thus ReceiptHero and Application Developer will each act as the independent data controller for said end-customers. In such case, the Application Developer is obligated to include the latest versions of ReceiptHero's Terms and Conditions for End Users and ReceiptHero's Privacy Notice as part of the Partner Application, so that the end-customer who registers with, or otherwise activates or uses, the ReceiptHero Service through the Partner Application approves the above mentioned Terms and Conditions and confirms having read and understood the Privacy Notice. The execution of these features will be agreed in further detail in connection with the Integration.

If ReceiptHero does not conclude its own agreement with the end-customer, the Application Developer shall act as the sole data controller and be responsible for concluding all necessary agreements and/or obtaining the necessary consents from the Application Developer’s Customers in a manner which allows ReceiptHero to act as the data processor as set out in these Terms and Conditions.

4. Use of Electronic Receipts and Transaction Data
ReceiptHero will transmit electronic receipts to the Partner Application in the manner agreed with the Application Developer. ReceiptHero only transmits to the Partner Application such electronic receipts that pertain to the Application Developer’s Customers or End Users that have activated the Partner Application in the ReceiptHero Service.

The Application Developer acknowledges that Merchants, at their discretion and at any time, may prohibit the transmission of electronic receipts into certain Partner Applications. The fact that electronic receipts from a particular Merchant have previously been provided to the Partner Application is no guarantee that electronic receipts are also provided in the future.

The Application Developer may use the electronic receipts, and the data included therein, transmitted via the ReceiptHero Service only for the purpose(s) specified in the Agreement (“Permitted Purpose(s)”). Unless otherwise agreed, the Application Developer shall not (i) share, disclose, resell, redistribute, lease, or sublicense the electronic receipts, or any information contained therein, to third parties (including on an aggregated level); (ii) create derivative works from the electronic receipts, or the information contained therein; (iii) use the electronic receipts, or the information contained therein, for targeting, reporting, product features, profiling, analysing customer behaviour patterns, categorizing, price comparisons, or other marketing; (iv) use the electronic receipts, or the information contained therein, for any other purpose that, at ReceiptHero’s discretion or interpretation, is unlawful or otherwise detrimental to the ReceiptHero Service; or (v) assign, sell, sublicense, lease, or otherwise transfer Application Developer’s right to use the electronic receipts, or any information therein, to third parties.

To the extent the Application Developer is provided with payment transaction data from ReceiptHero’s Co-Operation Partners for the purposes of the Integration, the related terms have been agreed under a separate appendix.

5. Principal Tasks of the Application Developer
The principal tasks of the Application Developer are (i) to provide End Users and Application Developer’s Customers with inspection and viewing services of electronic receipts, and other separately agreed value added services based on ReceiptHero Receipts; (ii) to provide End Users and Application Developer’s Customers with so called first level support services in case of faults or defects in the ReceiptHero Service, (iii) 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 Service, and (iv) to, for their own part, strive to ensure that End Users and Application Developer’s Customers do not misuse the ReceiptHero Service.

The Application Developer is also responsible for ensuring that its own staff, who are in contact with the ReceiptHero Service, are familiar with the basic features and operating principles of the ReceiptHero Service and are committed to confidentiality in the processing of data.

Upon request of ReceiptHero or a Business Customer, the Application Developer shall promptly prevent Business Customer’s representatives, who are no longer employed by the Business Customer, from accessing the ReceiptHero Service in connection with the Partner Application.

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 (as defined below), and otherwise provide reasonable assistance in the fulfilment of other obligations arising from data protection legislation.

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 said services.

6. Maintenance, Faults and Support Services of ReceiptHero
ReceiptHero makes reasonable efforts to ensure that the ReceiptHero Service 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 and Application Developer’s Customers so called first level support in case of faults or defects.

ReceiptHero delivers the Application Developer with the necessary instructions and materials for the provision of first level support services. The Application Developer may escalate a 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 the ReceiptHero Service. ReceiptHero has the right to modify these Terms and Conditions by informing of this for at least 90 days in advance. If the Application Developer uses the ReceiptHero Service thereafter, such use is considered to be an acceptance of the updated Terms and Conditions. The modifications of other agreement documents must be separately agreed in writing in order for them to be valid.

If ReceiptHero Terms and Conditions for End Users as well as the ReceiptHero Privacy Policy have been made available in connection with the Partner Application for the purposes of End Users’ activation or use of the ReceiptHero Service, and ReceiptHero notifies the Application Developer of modifications to the same, the Application Developer shall replace the old Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy with the new ReceiptHero Terms and Conditions for End Users as well as the ReceiptHero Privacy Policy.
