It is to be understood that making the contracted Service available and carrying out maintenance on it are provide in return for the User and his Authorised Users undertaking to strictly comply with the Contract Terms & Conditions or, where relevant, any others that might supersede them as a result of their modification. To be specific, as a general rule, the User, and by extension, the Authorised Users, are required to comply with the following where the Services are concerned:

  1. To invariably act in compliance with the Law, good codes of practice and the requirements of good faith, using due diligence adapted to the nature of the contracted Service, refraining from using the Service in any way that might prevent, jeopardise, damage or deteriorate its normal operation or the rights of Samoby Technologies SL, the rest of the latter’s Users and/or in general, any third parties.

    • Ignore or break any security or authentication measures;
    • Access, alter or use non-public areas of the Service or shared areas of the Service;

6.1 Cancellation of the Service

Samoby Technologies SL reserves the right to cancel, suspend or automatically block the provision of the contracted Service in the event of the User having infringed any of the activities described in the preceding Clause or any others of a similar meaning. However, this does not mean that Samoby Technologies SL is required to monitor the correct use of the Service.

If Samoby Technologies SL finds itself required to cancel the Service for any other reasons given above, it will not return any amount whatsoever. Furthermore, the User will have to pay Samoby Technologies SL for the services provided (totally or partially), until the date on which that cancellation took place.

6.2 Modification to the Service

As long as the economic terms are not modified and the levels of provision agreed to for the Service are not substantially altered, Samoby Technologies SL reserves the right to unilaterally modify and without prior notification, the terms and conditions that are contained in these Use of Service Conditions, as a result of: (a) the technical development of the market; (b) any technical, functional or operational improvement that enables the Service to be provided in a better way; (c) new economic circumstances and/or commercial circumstances that make it advisable to do so, or (d) changes in the Law, regulations and standards that apply to the provision of the Service and/or aspects associated with them.

In any cases not envisaged in the preceding paragraph, Samoby Technologies SL will inform the Client, at least one month before the change comes into effect, via the email address provided by the Client for providing the Service, about the new conditions of the Service. If the User does not agree with the notified modification, he may let Samoby Technologies SL know that he wishes to terminate the contract without any penalty. If the aforementioned period elapses without the User having indicated in writing his disagreement with the modification, it will be understood that he accepts the new Service conditions.

7. Payment in return and method of payment

The Client shall pay Samoby Technologies SL the price for the Service contracted.

7.1 Cancellation and deletion of data due to non-payment for the Service

If the User fails to pay for the Service, this will lead to either suspension or blocking of the User’s account (and that of his Authorised Users) in such a way that the User and his Authorised Users cannot access their data. Samoby Technologies SL will automatically and irreversibly delete the data stored in Locategy.

8. Duration and Termination

8.1 Period of Validity

This contract will be valid for an unlimited period of time, coming into force on the same day that Samoby Technologies SL provides the User with the Service. However, the Client may unsubscribe, by making his intention known to Samoby Technologies SL by any of the means indicated in the Contract Conditions. Unsubscribing from the Service will be dealt with in a maximum of two (2) days.

Unsubscribing from the Locategy Product will only take place if the Client expressly requests the deletion of his account of Locategy from:

  • The settings page of Locategy website
  • The settings screen of Locategy app, if you have linked the device as a supervisor (parent)
  • The permissions screen of Locategy app, if you have the device linked as a supervised (child)

By deleting the account, Samoby Technologies SL will proceed to delete the information about the User stored in its equipment.

Under no circumstances will the early termination of the contractual relationship lead to the return of the Service payments paid by the User to Samoby Technologies SL and neither will it exempt the User from paying the amounts prorated for the Service that has actually been provided.

8.2 Early Termination

The User may cancel his Premium or Freemium account at any time. There are no refunds for any unused time on a subscription, any license or subscription fees for any portion of the Service, any content or data associated with the account, or for anything else. Upon cancelling any Subscription, the subscription will be valid until the paid period is completed.

Samoby Technologies SL may terminate its contractual link that associates it with the User at any time by merely informing the User at least ten (10) days in advance.

Samoby Technologies SL may also withdraw or suspend the contracted Service at any time and without need for prior notification, or put an end to the current contractual relationship, in any of the following cases: (a) if it comes to their justified knowledge that the User or any of his Authorised Users of the contracted Services is illegal or that he is damaging goods or rights of third parties or (b) if it comes to their knowledge that the User or any of his Authorised Users of the contracted Services could be taking part in an illegal activity according to the legislation din the country of origin of the issuer of the notification, regardless of whether or not such activity constitutes an illegal activity in Spanish Law.

Furthermore, the User is aware of the fact that Samoby Technologies SL might retain any types of evidence about the information, the recorded data and the contents of the information stored and/or managed when this is officially required by any Authority with powers in the matter. In such cases, the cancellation of the Service could involve deactivating the account and the loss of all the information stored.

If the commercial agreement were to be terminated with the owner of the Software and provider of the Service, Samoby Technologies SL would inform the Client sufficiently well in advance with a view to going ahead with the transfer of the Service that is provided via the Software, to the Software of a new provider. In order to do this, Samoby Technologies SL would grant to the User the sub-licence concerned and, when in order, would make available to the User for his acceptance, the new conditions associated with the Service. If the User were not to accept the new Service conditions, it would be understood that the User had terminated the contractual relationship.

Under none of the aforementioned and hypothetical early termination circumstances affecting the current contractual relationship, would it be in order to return any of the amounts for the Service paid by the User to Samoby Technologies SL for any unused time on a subscription.

In the case of free, freemium or test accounts the Samoby Technologies SL may terminate its contractual link that associates it with the User at any time by merely informing the User at least ten (10) days in advance. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the user of a free account does not login at www.locategy.com for ninety (90) days, Samoby Technologies SL may delete the account and all the associated data without providing additional notice.

All the communication with the end user will be through the email provided by the user to use the service, being the user the only responsible of the validity an access to the email provided.
