The services we make available to you through the Platform are subject to these Terms and Conditions. In any case, anyone who does not accept these Terms and Conditions should refrain from using the Platform and/or acquiring the services offered.

1. ZapSign Services

  1. Services: ZapSign is a company focused on providing electronic signature services and document management software (the "Services"). Additionally, each User may acquire complementary services to add layers of security to the electronic signature, such as: (i) facial validation; (ii) document validation; (iii) email validation; (iv) phone number validation, among others. ZapSign offers its Services through various subscription plans (the "ZapSign Plans") obtained via the Platform as indicated in Section 2.

  2. ZapSign makes the Services available to be purchased by the User through the ZapSign Plans as established in the following link: https://zapsign.co/pricing

  3. Transactions: Each of the Services described in this Clause 1 will be measured in transaction volume. Therefore, one (1) Transaction means the use of one (1) operation corresponding to the Services. Each operation of the Service will count as a separate Transaction.

 

2. ZapSign Plans

ZapSign offers Users various Service plans, which will have variable costs depending on the volume of Transactions they include and the type of Services. The cost derived from the use of the Platform will depend on the type of Plan chosen by the User and any additional services they decide to add. Only the Services expressly mentioned in each Plan will be considered included for the specified price.

  1. Additional Transactions: In the event that the User consumes all the Transactions of their ZapSign Plan, the price of the additional Transactions will be subject to the conditions of the purchased ZapSign Plan.

  2. Additional Services: Each User has the option to add additional services to their ZapSign Plan, such as additional users, batch signing, credits for authentication methods, or extra documents, among others. The price of each Additional Service is not included within the ZapSign Plan, and the User acknowledges that if they use the Additional Services, this will result in an additional charge on their invoice.

  3. Validity of ZapSign Packages: ZapSign Plans will be valid for the period specified in the terms of each ZapSign Plan. The User acknowledges that unused Transactions will expire upon the expiration of their ZapSign Plan. ZapSign Plans will be automatically renewed on the anniversary date.

3. Platform Registration

  1. ZapSign Account: To use the Services, you must create an account on the Platform (the “ZapSign Account”). When registering, the Platform will ask you to enter the email address you wish to use for access, as well as your full name.

  2. Activation of ZapSign Account: Once you have entered the data, ZapSign will send you an email to confirm your ZapSign Account. After confirming the data, your ZapSign Account will be activated, and you can start enjoying the services available to you.

  3. The ZapSign Account refers to the credentials that allow the User to access the Platform, and only one ZapSign Account will be enabled per User. Users will have access to the Services when they have an active ZapSign Account. The Services can be accessed on tablets, phones, and computers with Android or iOS operating systems.

  4. You must select the type of Plan you wish to purchase. To do so, you will need to choose the Plan that best fits the Services you want to obtain. You will then need to fill out a payment form to activate the benefits of your ZapSign Plan. The requested information may include, among other details: full name or company name, identification document number, email address, mobile phone number, billing address, and credit card information.

  5. Accuracy of Information: The User must provide accurate and complete information in response to the Platform’s questions and keep this information updated. You are fully responsible for all activity that occurs under your ZapSign Account, including any actions taken by individuals to whom you have granted access to the ZapSign Account. We reserve the right to suspend or delete the ZapSign Account and deny you current and/or future use of the Platform if we suspect that the User has provided information that is false, inaccurate, outdated, and/or incomplete (or has become false, inaccurate, outdated, or incomplete).

  6. Activation of Additional Users: Depending on the specific conditions of the ZapSign Plan, the ZapSign Account may be associated with several Users who have access to the Platform.

ZapSign reserves the right to reject any registration request or cancel a previously accepted registration without being required to communicate or explain the reasons for its decision, and without it generating any right to compensation or indemnification.

4. Payment for the ZapSign Plan

  1. Payment Method: ZapSign will invoice the User for the value of the selected ZapSign Plan through one of our allied platforms at the time the User selects their ZapSign Plan. The payment will be made via automatic debit from the credit card that the User has provided in the allied platform. The User expressly authorizes the debit of the credit card for the payment of the ZapSign Plan and agrees to the chosen payment method, which will be processed by the financial entity designated by the User.

  2. Automatic Renewal: The User acknowledges and agrees that their ZapSign Plan subscription will be automatically renewed for the same period initially selected. Therefore, the User agrees that ZapSign will automatically debit the registered cards for the payment of the ZapSign Plan.

  3. The User acknowledges, accepts, and authorizes ZapSign to charge all amounts due by the User (including any applicable taxes or subsequent fees) that correspond to or are associated with their ZapSign Account.

  4. Each User is responsible for ensuring the availability of funds on the designated cards to ensure that payments to ZapSign can be charged, deducted, or debited as applicable. Payments made are non-refundable except as provided by law.

  5. In the event that, for any reason beyond ZapSign's control, the automatic debit from the User's card cannot be processed, the User agrees to provide an alternative payment method within a maximum of 15 days from the notification of the payment failure. If the error has not been resolved after this time and the User remains in arrears, they will lose access to the benefits of the ZapSign Plan. If the User does not make the payment within two (2) calendar weeks, ZapSign will cancel the ZapSign Plan.

  6. ZapSign reserves the right to modify, change, add, or remove the price of the offered Plans at any time, which will be notified to the User through the means that ZapSign deems appropriate.

5. Cancellation Policy

The User may request the termination of their ZapSign Plan at any time they wish. However, the Services will remain available until the termination date agreed upon in the Plan, and after this date, the ZapSign Plan subscription will be considered canceled. Therefore, the User acknowledges and agrees that under no circumstances will ZapSign refund the money paid for the Plan.

6. Modifications, Suspension, and Notifications

  1. Modifications: We reserve the right to modify and review the Terms and Conditions at any time and without prior notice. When a modification is implemented, ZapSign will publish the updated Terms and Conditions ("Updated Version") on the Platform so that Users can review the corresponding changes. Additionally, ZapSign may notify its Users via the email address provided or by any other means ZapSign deems appropriate, about the Updated Version. The Updated Version will become effective upon its publication and will not apply retroactively. Users have the option to expressly accept the Updated Version. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the continued use of the Services by the User after the publication of an Updated Version will constitute tacit acceptance of that Updated Version.
    Likewise, ZapSign reserves the right to modify, without prior notice, the design, presentation, and/or configuration of the Platform, as well as some or all of the Services, and/or to add new services.

  2.

You are responsible for managing your email account and providing ZapSign with your most updated email address.
