Terms of Use

The following terms and conditions for use (“Terms of Use”) constitute a legal agreement between you and Britefame Ltd. (“us”, “we” or “Trust Vega”) and governs all use of the trustvega.com website (the “Website”) and all content, services, features, activities and products available at or through the Website, (the “Services”).

Please read these Terms of Use carefully before using the Services. If you do not agree to all the terms and conditions of this Agreement, you may not use the Services.

Modification Of These Terms of Use

The Website and Services, which are owned and operated by Trust Vega, are offered conditional on your acceptance without modification of these Terms of Use, and related Policies and Notices (including our Privacy and Cancellation Policies). Your use of the Services constitutes your agreement to all such terms, conditions, policies and notices.

Trust Vega reserves the right to change these Terms of Use and the conditions under which the Services is offered, including but not limited to the charges associated with the use of them. All changes shall be effective and deemed accepted by all users upon posting of such changes on the Website. That version of these Terms of Use will then apply to all use by you following the date of publication. Each access of the Website and Services will be a separate, discrete transaction based on the then prevailing terms. These Terms of Use and the license granted by it may not be assigned or sublet by you without advance written consent from Trust Vega.

Fees

As an express condition of your use of and access to the Services, you agree to maintain accurate account information and pay all applicable fees and taxes (the “Service Fees”). Trust Vega may change the Service Fees from time to time and such changes will be effective immediately upon posting on our Website for all orders (including renewals) that occur after the effective date of the Service Fee change. Prices shown on our website do not include sales tax or value-added tax.

Failure to pay applicable Service Fees within 7 days will result in suspension of services and termination of account.

Data Processing

For the period in which you maintain an active Trust Vega account, you expressly authorise us to operate as your Data Processor within the meaning of the European General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), and agree that this Terms of Use reflects our entire agreement under Article 28(3).

The subject matter of the processing is to provide you with the collection, management and publication of client reviews, which includes followup with your clients by email. The personal data (“Review Data”) processed includes: client contact information (such as name, email) provided by you; review information intended for the public domain provided by the client; private additional information to support negative feedback; and security related personal data (such as IP Address) provided automatically.

We will not process Review Data for any other reason without your documented instructions, unless required to do so by law. In such cases, we will inform you before any such processing, unless that law prohibits us on important grounds of public interest.

You agree that submitting your client’s contact information via our secure dashboard or API constitutes your express documented instruction to process their Review Data on web servers based in the USA, and you warrant that you have a) obtained consent or have some other legitimate legal basis for this processing and b) the client is over the age of 18.

We will ensure that persons authorised to process Review Data or access your account have committed themselves to confidentiality or are under an appropriate statutory obligation of confidentiality.

To maintain the integrity and credibility of Review Data, you expressly agree to submit only the details of bona fide customers. In your capacity as the Data Controller, you also expressly instruct us to take all steps as required to prevent you from editing, deleting or otherwise tampering with the Review Data, so that all words published via our systems are exactly as written by your customers, and the aggregate ratings reflect the true picture of your overall feedback, and you confirm that THIS INSTRUCTION CANNOT BE COUNTERMANDED.

We have made necessary technical and organisational safety measures to protect the Review Data to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk, taking into account the factors specified in Article 32 of the GDPR.

At your request – and subject to remuneration of our reasonable costs in advance – we will submit to audits and inspections, provide you with whatever information you need to ensure compliance with Article 28, and assist you in ensuring compliance with your obligations pursuant to Articles 32 to 36 of the GDPR, taking into account the nature of the processing and the information available to us.

We will not engage a sub-processor for the Review Data without your prior consent, and will ensure that the data protection obligations set out in Article 28(3) of the GDPR are imposed on any sub-processor.

We will assist you as far as possible (taking into account the nature of the processing) to enable you to fulfill any obligations to respond to requests for the exercise of data subject rights by a data subject under GDPR.

We will give you 30 days from the date your account becomes inactive to download all Review Data. After this time, the data will be irretrievably deleted from our systems.

Nothing in these Terms of Use will require us to disclose any information that may infringe the privacy of any other customer, compromise the security of our systems, reveal any trade secrets or financial information, compromise the authenticity or credibility of your reviews or disclose any information other than in the good faith fulfilment of your obligations under the GDPR.

Term, Termination and Removal

You may cancel your Trust Vega account at any time by giving us notice as prescribed in our Cancellation Policy. Your account will then terminate at the end of the already paid up subscription period.

We may suspend our Services to you at any time with or without cause. We will refund a pro rata portion of any prepayment if we terminate your account without cause. If you violate any of these Terms of Use, we reserve the right to terminate your account immediately with cause. In the event of termination of your account with cause, you understand that no refund will be given.

Once terminated, your access to the Services and all related data will be revoked and all data processing will cease.

We operate a fair refund policy, and provide email support to resolve issues. Opening a payment dispute with our payment gateway or your bank/card provider is considered an abuse of this policy, which will result in a lifetime ban. You further agree to pay us a $50 chargeback fee for any payment disputed in this way.

All files, information and data under your account will be preserved for 30 days from the date of termination. If the payment to reactivate your account is not received within 30 days, all files, information and data under your account will be deleted.

You agree that we have the right to delete all data, files or other information that is stored in your Trust Vega account if your Trust Vega account is terminated, for any reason, by either you or us and you accept full responsibility for ensuring you have a viable backup of any data you wish to keep before such deletion takes place.

Restrictions On Use

You acknowledge that we, or our suppliers, own and retain all proprietary rights in the Website and the software used to provide the Services, including, but not limited to, any patents, trademarks, service marks and copyrights.

You agree to use the Services only as a bona fide customer acting in good faith and to maintain accurate and sufficient account information so that we can identify you as such.

You may not attempt to decipher, decompile, disassemble or reverse engineer the Services.

You will not cause or permit to be published, printed, downloaded, transmitted, distributed, reengineered, or reproduced in any form any part of the Website or Services whether for resale, republishing, posting on a web site, redistribution, viewing, or otherwise without express written permission from us.

Nothing herein shall authorize you to create any database, digital copy, directory or hard copy publication of or from the Website or Services, whether for internal or external distribution or use.

Trust Vega reserves the right to terminate your access to any or all of the Communication Services at any time without notice for any reason whatsoever.

Always use caution when giving out any personally identifying information about yourself or your children in any Communication Service.
