These TERMS AND CONDITIONS apply to the Walor system (hereinafter the “System”) that Walor ApS, Danish reg. no. 44961040, Købmagergade 67 4. th., 1150 København K, Denmark (hereinafter “Walor”) provides to the customer (hereinafter the “Customer”).

The order confirmation through online sign-up together with its appendices and these TERMS AND CONDITIONS constitute the agreement (hereinafter the “Agreement”) between Walor and the Customer. The relationship between Walor and the Customer shall only be governed by these TERMS AND CONDITIONS and the order confirmation, to the exclusion of any other or different terms and conditions.

In case the Customer is a part of a group of associated companies, these TERMS AND CONDITIONS shall apply concurrently to all such companies. The group companies are jointly referred to as the Customer in these TERMS AND CONDITIONS.

Where a Customer has entered into an agreement on the use of the System through an administrator(s) that are associated through the system (hereinafter the “Partner”), these TERMS AND CONDITIONS will apply to the Customers use of the System, regardless of the agreement with the Partner.

Walor reserves itself the right to change these TERMS AND CONDITIONS at any time, by respecting a notice period of 2 months.

The System is a solution that enables a whistleblower to report matters of a serious nature. Walor hereby grants the Customer the right to use the System based on these TERMS AND CONDITIONS. The right of usage is restricted to the Customer's personnel and its Partner. Other users may only be granted rights of usage to the System subject to written agreement between Walor and the Customer.

The Customer’s right of usage is non-exclusive and limited to the Term, in accordance with paragraph 5.1.

In case that the Customer has chosen to make use of a trial period, the Customer’s right of usage to the System is limited to this trial period, and the Customer’s access to the System will be blocked on expiry of the trial period, unless the Customer registers a payment method.

All rights granted under the order confirmation between the Customer and Walor and these TERMS AND CONDITIONS are non-exclusive and non-transferable. Accordingly, if not expressly permitted in writing, the Customer may not distribute, sublicense, rent, lease, lend, resell or transfer its right of usage of the System, in whole or in part. This is without prejudice however to paragraph 1.3.

The Customer shall, at all times, act with due care and lawfully towards third parties, particularly by respecting the intellectual property rights and other rights of third parties and the privacy of third parties, by refraining from disseminating information in a manner that is contrary to the law and from granting unauthorized access to the System.

The Customer may use the System only in accordance with these TERMS AND CONDITIONS and the order confirmation, and the Customer may particularly not reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the System, or attempt to do so, work around any technical limitations in the System or against restrictions in System documentation.

Walor reserves its rights to verify eligibility with paragraph 3 at any time and suspend the Customer's access to the System if the eligibility requirements are not met. Walor is further entitled to suspend the Customer’s access to the System if the Customer fails to pay its subscription after the first reminder of late payment.

Without prejudice to the possibility of a trial period, the Customer shall pay the prices as set out in the price list of Walor, as referred to on its Pricing Page. Walor reserves itself the right to change its price list, respecting a notice period of two months. For the purpose of calculating the number of employees as referred to in the price list, the total number of employees at the date of acceptance of these TERMS AND CONDITIONS will be decisive. Before each renewal of the Term in accordance with paragraph 5.1, the total number of employees will be reassessed for the purpose of calculating the price in accordance with the price list. In case the Customer is a part of a group of associated companies, the total number of employees for the purpose of calculating the applicable price, will be calculated by the sum of employees of each company of the group of associated companies.

The payment is made for a Term, in accordance with paragraph 5.1. The payment for the System will be invoiced annually prior to the commencement of a Term. However, the first Term is invoiced upon the acceptance of these TERMS AND CONDITIONS. In any subsequent terms, these terms and conditions will continue to apply.

Payments shall be made no later than 14 days following the Customer’s receipt of invoice from Walor in the case that the Customer is billed by Walor directly. In case of late payment, Walor charges interest for default on the amount owing at the time in question, corresponding to 10 percent per year. Interest will be calculated on the outstanding balance due.

If it is agreed that the Customer is billed through a Partner, the Partner determines the terms of payment.

The subscription term is twelve months (hereinafter the “Term”), calculated from the date of the Customers acceptance of these TERMS AND CONDITIONS. The Term will automatically be renewed with a new Term every year, unless terminated in advance by either the Customer or Walor pursuant to paragraph 5.2.

The Customer may terminate its subscription and right of usage to the System with a notice period of one month prior to the end of a Term. Notice of termination must be given in writing. Walor may terminate the Customer’s subscription and right of usage to the System with a notice of at least 6 months prior to the end of a Term. A party is further entitled to terminate the Customer’s right of usage of the System, if the other party is in material breach of its obligation under the order confirmation between the Customer and Walor or these TERMS AND CONDITIONS unless such material breach has been remedied by the other party within a period of no less than 30 days. Lack of payment is considered a material breach. Next to this, Walor may terminate the Agreement in accordance with 3.4 of the Data Processing Agreement between the Customer and Walor.

The Customer is entitled to receive its data on an accessible media format on expiry of the Term. Further, Walor is obliged to erase the Customer's data, including personal data, no later than two months following the expiry of the Term, unless otherwise prescribed by law. Walor is entitled to payment for its services rendered to the Customer in connection with the expiry of the Customer's usage of the System. Walor is, however, entitled to use anonymised data including, but not limited to, amount of cases, case categories and amount of users in the system, for statistical or research purposes in order to enhance the performance of the System in accordance with paragraph 10.2.

If the Customer has a Partner, the expiry of the Partner’s right of usage to the Module shall have no effect on the Customer’s right of usage to the System which shall continue subject to these TERMS AND CONDITIONS. However, any agreements that determine that the Customer shall be invoiced by the Partner shall cease on the expiry date and future invoices shall be sent directly from Walor to the customers.

In the event Customer has signed up for a trial period, paragraphs 5.1 and 5.2 of these TERMS AND CONDITIONS shall be of no effect. The duration of the trial period shall instead be 14 days, unless agreed otherwise in writing. Both Walor and Customer can terminate a trial period without prior notice.

The Customer may forward wishes to change in the scope or content of the System. Walor is, however, not obliged to change the System to accommodate the wishes of the Customer.

This Data Processing Agreement shall take priority over any similar provisions contained in other agreements between the Parties, including the Agreement or any Terms and Conditions. The parties maintain that in their relationship Walor is the “Data Processor” and the Customer is the “Data Controller” within the meaning of the applicable personal data legislation.

Walor and the Customer shall, unless the disclosure of this information is required by law, not forward Confidential Information to any third party, both during the Term and after termination of the Agreement, irrespective of the cause hereof.

”Confidential Information” includes any information about either Walor or the Customer disclosed in the context of the Agreement, with the exclusion of information:

In the event that the Customer is met with claims pertaining to its use of the System and/or documents, images, tools, videos and guides contained in the System, the Customer shall immediately inform Walor in writing about the existence and content of the claim and leave the settlement of the claim, including any arrangements made in this regard, entirely to Walor.

The Customer shall collaborate with Walor in the defence and any related settlement negotiations by providing Walor with appropriate information and any assistance required for said defence or settlement. The Customer is entitled to reimbursement of legal cost in this context. In the event of an infringement claim, Walor shall be entitled either to procure the Customer the right to continued use of the System, bring the infringement to an end by modifying or replacing the System with other software, websites, data files, designs, documentation etc. which has essentially the same functionality as the material in contention, or terminate the Customer's right of usage to the System with immediate effect and reimbursing the Customer its paid subscription fee deducting a reasonable amount for the value of the Customer's use of the System.
