assistEU SAS (“assistEU,” “we,” “our”) offers productivity, and data visualization tools available online, as subscription services (each, a “Subscription Service”) as well as support and professional services (all collectively, the “Services”), and website, including but not limited to assisteu.eu (the “Website”).
1. Your Relationship with assistEU
assistEU has three different types of end users:
- We call users of the Websites “Site Visitors.”
- We call users who use the free version of the Services “Free Users.” While Free Users can access and use the Services, they have access to a more limited set of features and functionality than Subscribers.
- We call users who use the Services as part of a paid subscription plan (regardless of the subscription tier) “Subscribers.” The features and functionalities available to Subscribers are determined by the subscription tier.
We refer to these three types of end users collectively as “Users” or “you” for purposes of these Terms of Service (the “Terms”). Regardless of what type of User you are, these Terms create a legally binding agreement between you and assistEU and explain all rules governing the use of the Services and Website. If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not access or use the Services and Website.
2. Accepting the Terms
2.1 You acknowledge and agree that you have read, understood and agree to be legally bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy by clicking or tapping on a button indicating your acceptance, by accessing or using the Services and Websites, or by executing or making a payment based on an ordering document, statement of work or invoice (an “Order”) that relates these Terms.
2.2 By accepting these Terms, you represent that you have the legal power to do so. If you accept these Terms on behalf of an organization, (a) “you” and “your” will refer to that organization and any individual accessing the Services through your account will be referred to as a “User”; and (b) you understand and agree that the organization will be responsible for ensuring that each of its Users complies with these Terms.
2.3 You may not use the Services and may not accept the Terms if you are barred from receiving the Services under the laws of the country in which you are a resident or from which you use the Services. If you represent an organization, you will ensure that: (a) your Users do not use the Services in violation of any export restriction or embargo; and (b) you do not provide access to the Services to persons or entities on any restricted lists.
2.4 If you are under 18 years old, you are not allowed to create an assistEU account or use the Services unless (a) you have received access to the Services through your school; or (b) your legal guardian has reviewed and agreed to these Terms. If you are a parent or legal guardian permitting a person under 18 years of age (a “Minor”) to create an account and/or use the Services, you agree to: (i) supervise the Minor’s use of the Services and their account; (ii) assume all risks associated with, and liabilities resulting from, the Minor’s use of the Services and their account; (iii) ensure that the content in the Services and on the Websites are suitable for the Minor; (iv) ensure all information submitted to us by the Minor is accurate; and (v) provide the consents, representations and warranties contained in the Terms on the Minor’s behalf.
3. Provision of the Services by assistEU
3.1 You and each User may access and use the Services, including the software provided as part of the Services, during the applicable subscription term and subject to these Terms. You may not assign or grant a sub-license of your rights to use the Services, grant a security interest in or over your rights to use the Services, or otherwise transfer any part of your rights to use the Services.
3.2 assistEU may provide implementation, consulting, configuration, integration, training, advisory, development, and other professional services (“Professional Services”) as described in, and subject to payment of the fees specified in, an Order. Any material changes requested or required to be made to the Order will require a change order agreed and signed by the parties. assistEU hereby grants you a right to access and use the goods, products, or other deliverables identified in an Order for Professional Services (“Deliverables”) for your internal business purposes, pursuant to these Terms.
3.3 assistEU provides technical support through requests submitted to contact@assisteu.eu.
3.4 If you choose a trial subscription, during the trial period the Subscription Service is provided with no warranties. assistEU will not be liable for any damages related to your use of the Subscription Service during the trial period.

3.5 assistEU warrants that: (a) during the applicable subscription term, the Subscription Service will operate substantially as described in the online documentation; (b) the Support and Professional Services will be performed in a competent and workmanlike manner in accordance with generally accepted industry standards, this Agreement and applicable Order; and (c) the Deliverables will conform to the specifications in the applicable Order. If you believe a Service or Deliverable does not comply with these warranties, you must notify assistEU in writing within 30 days of delivery of the non-conforming Service or Deliverable. As your exclusive remedy and assistEU’s sole liability for breach of these warranties, assistEU will use commercially reasonable efforts to correct the non-conforming Service or Deliverable at no additional charge to Customer within a reasonable time period. These warranties will not apply to any failure caused by a defect in or modification to the applicable Service or Deliverable caused or made by you, any User, or a person acting at your direction.
3.6 The Subscription Service includes the features and functionality applicable to the selected version. assistEU may update the content, functionality, and user interface of the Subscription Service in its sole discretion. Some features and functionality may be available only with certain versions of the Subscription Service. assistEU does not represent or warrant that a particular subscription plan will be offered indefinitely and reserves the right to change or alter the features and options, including volume of transmissions and maximum data requests, in a particular subscription plan without prior notice.
4. Using the Services

4.2 You will obtain, maintain, and support all internet access, equipment, and ancillary services needed to access the Services and Deliverables. Subscriptions are for named individuals and cannot be shared or used by more than one individual at a time. Each User must keep a secure password for accessing the Subscription Service, which must be kept confidential. You will (a) if applicable, obtain from the Users on your account any consents necessary for assistEU to provide the Services; (b) maintain commercially reasonable security standards with respect to use of the assistEU Assets (defined below); and (c) in the event of any unauthorized access to or use of the Services or Deliverables, promptly notify assistEU at contact@assisteu.eu.

5. Associated Accounts
5.1 Some Offers may offer an “Associated account” feature that allows the owner account to share its subscription plan. An associated account is controlled by an owner account and tied to a specific email address. If an email address is not tied to an existing User, a notification will be sent to inform the owner of this email.
5.2 Associated accounts and owner accounts can only be tied to Users from the same European Parliament Member’s office or the same company, unless otherwise specified. assistEU will automatically and regularly check the validity of Associated accounts on the basis of the European Parliament website information and other public or private sources. If an Associated account is considered not to be valid, assistEU reserves the right to downgrade this Associated account to a free account, at any time, after giving notice to the Associated account and the owner account emails.
5.3 If authorized, the owner account can define its associated accounts by adding or deleting the email addresses related to these associated accounts in the Account Settings. If the owner account is unable to modify its associated accounts, the request must be notified to contact@assisteu.eu.
5.4 When an account owner pays for a subscription plan, this plan automatically applies to all the associated accounts. Associated accounts will be provided with the same Services as the owner account.
5.5 When an owner account deletes one of its associated account, the latter will automatically be downgraded to a free account. As a result, the User of this associated account will no longer benefit from the subscription plan paid by the owner account and its related Services.
5.6 If an owner account is suspended for any reason, all associated accounts related to the owner account will be immediately downgraded to free accounts. assistEU will only take this action for as long as it takes to resolve the problem with the owner account.

6.4 All payments are due in Euro unless otherwise indicated on the subscription pricing page, Order or invoice. Credit card, debit card or other forms of payment are due at the beginning of the relevant subscription term. assistEU will charge you for all fees when due. assistEU may enable other forms of payment in the Account Settings page, which may be subject to additional terms. Payments for invoices are due the day of the invoice date, unless otherwise specified, and are considered delinquent thereafter.
6.5 Your subscription will automatically renew at the end of each subscription term and you authorize assistEU to charge the credit card, debit card or other forms of payment for each renewal. If you wish to change your subscription level, number of Users, subscription term, or cancel your auto-renewal, the account owner or the admin must change the settings in the Account Settings page provided in the Subscription Service or contact our customer support team prior to the renewal date.
6.6 Billing disputes must be notified to assistEU in writing before the due date. You will be responsible for all reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by assistEU in collecting delinquent amounts. If delinquent fees are not paid, assistEU will automatically downgrade your account to a free account and/or suspend or terminate your use of the Services. Downgrading your account may cause the loss of features, functionality or capacity. If you require a purchase order, vendor registration form, or other documentation, such requirement will in no way relieve, affect or delay your obligation to pay amounts when due.
6.7 You are responsible for any taxes, duties, and customs fees associated with the sale of the Services (other than assistEU’s income tax) (collectively “Taxes”), and you will pay assistEU for the Services without any reduction for Taxes. If assistEU is obligated to collect or pay Taxes, the Taxes will be invoiced to you, unless you provide assistEU with a valid tax exemption certificate. If you are required by law to withhold any Taxes from your payments to assistEU, you must provide assistEU with an official tax receipt or other appropriate documentation to support such withholding and reimburse assistEU for such withholding tax.
6.8 Except as expressly set forth in these Terms or when required by law, all fees are non-cancellable and once paid are non-refundable, even in the case of unused subscription periods.
7. Confidentiality
7.1 “Confidential Information” means non-public, proprietary, business, technical, security, legal, or financial information that is either marked or identified as Confidential Information or would reasonably be understood to be confidential, including information about products, processes, services, trade secrets, marketing and business plans, client lists, financial information, system architecture, security programs, and intellectual property.

The receiving party may only use this Confidential Information as provided for in these Terms or to exercise its rights hereunder and may only share this Confidential Information with its employees, agents, advisors and service providers who need to know it, provided they are subject to similar confidentiality obligations. The receiving party will use the same degree of care, but no less than a reasonable degree of care, as such party uses with respect to its own Confidential Information to protect the disclosing party’s Confidential Information and to prevent any unauthorized use or disclosure thereof. Neither party will be responsible for any loss, destruction, alteration or disclosure of Confidential Information caused by any third-party. If the receiving party is compelled by law to disclose the other party’s Confidential Information, it will use commercially reasonable efforts to give the disclosing party prior written notice of such compelled disclosure (to the extent legally permitted) and reasonable assistance, at the disclosing party’s cost, if the disclosing party wishes to contest the disclosure.
