3.4 Service Modifications
PaperOffice reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to modify, enhance, replace, restrict, or discontinue any feature, function, model, AI Tier, API endpoint, MCP tool, or component of the Services at any time, provided that such modifications do not materially diminish the core functionality available under Customer's then-current Plan during the then-current Subscription Term.

(a) Different AI Tiers have different capabilities, reliability characteristics, and cost profiles; (b) Selecting a lower Tier for a complex Workflow or Tool Flow may result in unreliable, incomplete, or unexpected output; (c) PaperOffice may provide non-binding recommendations regarding Tier selection, but the final selection and all consequences thereof are Customer's responsibility; (d) The behavior of agentic AI, large language models, and Tool Flows is inherently probabilistic and cannot be deterministically guaranteed.

4.5 Customer Data Backup
Customer is responsible for maintaining its own backups of Customer Data outside the Services where such backups are required by Customer's business or regulatory obligations. While PaperOffice maintains industry-standard backup and redundancy procedures, the Services are not a substitute for Customer's independent backup strategy.
5. Customer Data and Intellectual Property
5.1 Customer Data Ownership
As between the Parties, Customer retains all right, title, and interest in and to Customer Data. PaperOffice claims no ownership of Customer Data.
5.2 License to Customer Data
Customer hereby grants PaperOffice a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, process, transmit, display, and otherwise use Customer Data solely to the extent necessary to: (a) provide, maintain, and improve the Services; (b) perform the obligations and exercise the rights under this Agreement; (c) comply with applicable law and valid legal process; (d) prevent fraud, abuse, security incidents, and violations of the AUP; and (e) generate aggregated, anonymized statistics that do not identify Customer or any individual.
5.3 No Use for Model Training Without Consent
PaperOffice will not use Customer Data to train, fine-tune, or otherwise improve general-purpose AI models made available to other customers, except: (a) with Customer's express prior written consent; (b) where Customer Data has been irreversibly de-identified and aggregated such that no individual or Customer can be identified; or (c) to the extent strictly necessary to provide a feature explicitly requested by Customer (such as Customer-specific fine-tuning).
5.4 PaperOffice Intellectual Property
The Services, including all software, models, weights, documentation, branding, and underlying technology, are and shall remain the exclusive property of PaperOffice and its licensors. All goodwill arising from use of the PaperOffice trademarks inures exclusively to PaperOffice. Customer acknowledges that PaperOffice has been continuously developing document management technology since 2002 and holds significant proprietary know-how, trade secrets, and intellectual property rights.
5.5 Feedback
If Customer provides feedback, suggestions, ideas, or improvements regarding the Services ("Feedback"), Customer hereby grants PaperOffice a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, fully paid-up, sublicensable license to use, modify, and incorporate the Feedback into the Services without any obligation of compensation, attribution, or confidentiality.
5.6 AI Output Ownership
As between the Parties, Customer owns the AI Output generated specifically in response to Customer's prompts and inputs, subject to: (a) the underlying intellectual property rights of PaperOffice and its licensors in the models, infrastructure, and algorithms; (b) the limitation that AI Output may not be unique to Customer (similar prompts from other customers may yield similar output); (c) Customer's obligations under Section 4.1 regarding lawful use; and (d) the disclaimers in Section 9 and the AI Acceptable Use and Output Disclaimer.
6. Fees, Payment, and Wallet
6.1 Fees and Pricing
Customer shall pay all Fees applicable to its selected Plan and consumption of the Services as set forth in the Pricing and Billing Terms, the applicable Order Form, or the published price list at https://paperoffice.ai/en/pricing/ or any successor URL. All Fees are stated and payable in Euros (EUR), exclusive of all applicable value-added taxes (IVA / USt. / VAT) and other taxes, which shall be added at the rate applicable on the date of invoice.
6.2 Payment Terms
Subscription Fees are billed in advance on a monthly or annual basis depending on the selected billing cycle. Usage-based charges, support charges, and other consumption-based Fees are deducted from Customer's Wallet in accordance with the Pricing and Billing Terms. All amounts are due upon issuance of invoice or upon deduction from the Wallet, as applicable.
6.3 Wallet and Auto-Recharge
Customer maintains a prepaid Wallet (Account Balance) used to settle consumption-based Fees, including but not limited to Workflow execution, AI processing, MCP tool usage, API calls, and Support Fees. The Wallet operates as follows:
(a) Customer may load funds into the Wallet manually (via SEPA bank transfer, credit card, or redemption code) or automatically via Auto-Recharge, as configured in the Account settings.
(b) Auto-Recharge triggers automatic top-up when the Wallet balance falls below a Customer-defined threshold. Customer authorizes PaperOffice to charge the configured payment method in the configured top-up amount when the threshold is reached.
(c) Wallet balances are denominated in Euros and may be converted to Credits at the prevailing rate of one (1) Credit equals zero point zero zero one Euros (€0.001).
(d) No Refund of Wallet Balance. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Wallet balances are non-refundable. Wallet balances may only be used to consume Services and may not be redeemed for cash, transferred to another customer, or exchanged for any other value. This applies regardless of the reason for non-use, including upon termination or expiration of the Agreement, except where mandatory law requires otherwise.
(e) Expiration of Inactive Wallet Balances. Wallet balances expire and are forfeited if the Account remains inactive (no successful authentication, no Service consumption, and no top-up) for a continuous period of twenty-four (24) months. PaperOffice will provide reasonable advance notice to the Account Owner's registered email before expiration.
(f) Suspension on Insufficient Balance. If Customer's Wallet balance is insufficient to cover ongoing consumption and Auto-Recharge is disabled or fails, PaperOffice may suspend the consumption-based portion of the Services until the Wallet is replenished. Subscription Plan access continues subject to subscription Fees being current.
6.4 Late Payment
Any amount not paid when due shall accrue interest at the rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month, or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is lower, calculated from the original due date until the date of full payment. Customer shall reimburse PaperOffice for all reasonable costs of collection, including attorneys' fees and court costs. PaperOffice may suspend or terminate Customer's access to the Services if any amount remains unpaid for fifteen (15) days or more after the due date.
6.5 Disputed Charges
Customer must provide written notice of any disputed charge to billing@paperoffice.ai within thirty (30) days of the invoice date or the date of Wallet deduction, whichever applies. Charges not disputed within this period shall be deemed accepted and final. Customer's obligation to pay undisputed amounts is not affected by the dispute of other amounts.
6.6 Price Changes
PaperOffice may modify the Fees applicable to any Plan with at least thirty (30) days' advance notice for monthly Plans and at least sixty (60) days' advance notice for annual Plans, with effect from the next renewal. Customer's continued use of the Services after the effective date of the price change constitutes acceptance of the new pricing.
6.7 Taxes
Customer is responsible for all taxes, duties, levies, and similar governmental assessments associated with Customer's use of the Services, except for taxes imposed on PaperOffice's net income. Where Customer is established in a Member State of the European Union and provides a valid VAT identification number, Spanish IVA may be reverse-charged in accordance with the EU VAT directive. Customer is responsible for the validity and currency of its VAT identification number.

(c) If required by applicable law, regulation, or valid legal process;
(d) If Customer becomes insolvent, files for or has filed against it any bankruptcy or similar proceeding, makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or ceases doing business;

The Party seeking indemnification shall: (a) promptly notify the indemnifying Party in writing of the claim; (b) tender sole control of the defense and settlement to the indemnifying Party (provided that no settlement requiring an admission of liability or non-monetary obligation may be made without the indemnified Party's consent, not to be unreasonably withheld); and (c) provide reasonable cooperation in the defense at the indemnifying Party's expense. Failure to provide prompt notice does not relieve the indemnifying Party of its obligations except to the extent the indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced.
13. Data Protection and Privacy
13.1 Compliance with Data Protection Laws
Each Party shall comply with all applicable data protection and privacy laws, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR — Regulation (EU) 2016/679), the Spanish Organic Law on Data Protection (LOPDGDD), and equivalent laws of other jurisdictions where the Parties operate.
13.2 Data Processing Agreement
Where PaperOffice processes personal data on behalf of Customer in connection with the Services, the Parties shall enter into a Data Processing Agreement ("DPA") in accordance with Article 28 GDPR. PaperOffice provides a self-service Compliance Package generator within the Services that produces a complete, customer-specific, multi-page PDF document containing: (i) a cover sheet with Customer's contact and contractual data; (ii) the Data Processing Agreement under Article 28 GDPR; and (iii) the Technical and Organizational Measures (TOM) under Article 32 GDPR. Customer may generate this Compliance Package in any of thirty-five (35) supported languages, with the English version being legally binding.
The generated and accepted DPA is hereby incorporated into and forms an integral part of this Agreement. In the event of any conflict between this MSA and the DPA with respect to the processing of personal data, the DPA shall prevail.
13.3 Sub-Processors
PaperOffice may engage sub-processors to provide the Services. The list of current sub-processors is included in the Compliance Package and is updated from time to time. PaperOffice shall: (a) impose contractual obligations on sub-processors equivalent to those imposed on PaperOffice under the DPA; (b) remain liable to Customer for the acts and omissions of its sub-processors to the extent set forth in the DPA; and (c) provide notice of new sub-processors as set forth in the DPA, allowing Customer to object on reasonable grounds.
13.4 International Data Transfers
Where personal data is transferred outside the European Economic Area, PaperOffice shall ensure an adequate level of protection through one of the legally recognized transfer mechanisms (Adequacy Decision, Standard Contractual Clauses, Binding Corporate Rules, or equivalent), as further detailed in the DPA.
14. Compliance with the EU AI Act
14.1 EU AI Act Allocation of Roles
The European Union Artificial Intelligence Act (Regulation (EU) 2024/1689, the "EU AI Act") establishes a regulatory framework for AI systems placed on the EU market. The Parties acknowledge that compliance obligations under the EU AI Act depend on the role each Party plays in relation to a given AI use case.
14.2 PaperOffice as Provider of General-Purpose Components
PaperOffice acts as a provider of general-purpose AI tools, building blocks, and infrastructure (including but not limited to OCR, document understanding, classification, extraction, generative AI capabilities). PaperOffice does not market the Services as a high-risk AI system within the meaning of Annex III of the EU AI Act and disclaims any representation or warranty that the Services are suitable for high-risk use cases without additional assessment, configuration, and human oversight by Customer.
14.3 Customer as Deployer
Where Customer integrates the Services into its own workflows, products, or business processes, Customer assumes the role of "deployer" (and, where Customer materially modifies, fine-tunes, or rebrands the Services, Customer may assume the role of "provider") within the meaning of the EU AI Act. Customer is solely responsible for: (a) determining whether its use case constitutes a high-risk AI system under the EU AI Act; (b) implementing all required risk management, human oversight, transparency, accuracy, robustness, cybersecurity, and documentation measures; (c) registering high-risk systems in the EU database where required; (d) conducting fundamental rights impact assessments where applicable; (e) compliance with prohibited AI practices under Article 5 of the EU AI Act; and (f) all other obligations applicable to deployers or providers of high-risk AI systems.
14.4 Prohibited Practices
Customer shall not use the Services for any practice prohibited under Article 5 of the EU AI Act, including without limitation: subliminal manipulation, exploitation of vulnerabilities, untargeted scraping of facial images for biometric databases, social scoring by public authorities, predictive policing based solely on profiling, emotion recognition in workplaces or educational institutions (except for medical or safety reasons), biometric categorization to deduce sensitive attributes, and real-time remote biometric identification in publicly accessible spaces by law enforcement (except as permitted under strict conditions).
14.5 Cooperation
The Parties shall reasonably cooperate to allocate, implement, and document compliance obligations under the EU AI Act in connection with Customer's specific use case. PaperOffice may, from time to time, publish technical documentation, model cards, system cards, or transparency information regarding the AI components of the Services, which Customer may use as part of its own compliance documentation.
15. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
15.1 Governing Law
This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Kingdom of Spain, excluding its conflict-of-laws principles. The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) is expressly excluded.
15.2 Exclusive Jurisdiction
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Pamplona (Navarra), Spain, for any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or related to this Agreement, including its interpretation, performance, breach, or termination.

15.4 Equitable Relief
Notwithstanding Section 15.2, either Party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect its intellectual property rights, Confidential Information, or other rights for which monetary damages would be inadequate.
15.5 Mandatory Pre-Litigation Notice
Before commencing any action (other than for equitable relief under Section 15.4), the claiming Party shall provide written notice of the dispute to the other Party at the addresses specified in Section 16.5 and shall use good-faith efforts to resolve the dispute through senior-level negotiation for a period of at least thirty (30) days.
16. Miscellaneous
16.1 Force Majeure
Neither Party shall be liable for any delay or failure to perform (other than payment obligations) caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including without limitation acts of God, natural disasters, pandemics, epidemics, war, armed conflict, terrorism, civil unrest, government actions, embargoes, sanctions, strikes, labor disputes, internet or telecommunications failures, third-party service provider outages (including cloud, AI model, or payment provider outages), denial-of-service attacks, or cyber incidents. The affected Party shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate the impact and resume performance.
16.2 Assignment
Customer may not assign or transfer this Agreement, in whole or in part, without PaperOffice's prior written consent. Any attempted assignment in violation of this Section is void. PaperOffice may assign this Agreement, in whole or in part, to an affiliate, successor, or acquirer (including in connection with a merger, acquisition, sale of assets, or corporate reorganization) without Customer's consent. This Agreement is binding upon and inures to the benefit of the Parties and their permitted successors and assigns.

The Parties are independent contractors. Nothing in this Agreement creates a partnership, joint venture, agency, fiduciary, or employment relationship between the Parties.

Notices are deemed received: (i) upon successful delivery, if by email; (ii) upon receipt confirmation, if by courier; (iii) five (5) business days after dispatch, if by registered mail.
16.6 Severability
If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to render it valid and enforceable, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. If modification is not possible, the invalid provision shall be deemed deleted, and the remainder shall remain enforceable.
16.7 Waiver
No waiver of any provision of this Agreement is effective unless in writing and signed by the Party against whom it is asserted. No failure or delay by a Party in exercising any right under this Agreement constitutes a waiver of that right.
16.8 Entire Agreement
This Agreement, together with the Agreement Documents and any executed Order Form, constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements, communications, proposals, representations, and warranties, whether oral or written. No purchase order, vendor portal, or similar document submitted by Customer shall vary the terms of this Agreement, and any conflicting terms therein are expressly rejected.
16.9 Headings
Headings are for convenience only and shall not affect interpretation.

Customer shall not permit access to the Services from any country, region, or person subject to applicable embargoes or sanctions.

16.13 Language of Agreement
The English-language version of this Agreement is the legally binding original and shall prevail in the event of any conflict, ambiguity, or discrepancy with any translation. Translations into other languages, where provided, are convenience translations only and have no legal force in case of conflict with the English version.
16.14 Order of Precedence Within This MSA
In the event of conflict within this MSA, the more specific provision shall prevail over the more general. Where two provisions of equal specificity conflict, the provision more protective of PaperOffice's interests shall prevail, except to the extent applicable mandatory law dictates otherwise.
