1. General
ReceiptHero Oy has developed an open ReceiptHero ecosystem for receipts that enables the transmission of electronic receipts and thereto related services ("ReceiptHero Service"). The ReceiptHero Service is provided by ReceiptHero Oy.
The ReceiptHero Service can be utilised by merchants who produce receipts ("Merchants"), application developers who process receipts and offer thereto related services ("Application Developers", in relation to their applications "Partner Applications"), business customers along with their representatives ("Business Customers"), as well as consumers who have reached the age of majority ("Consumers"). Business Customers and Consumers are hereinafter jointly and separately referred to as "End Users".
These terms and conditions define the terms in accordance with which End Users may utilise the ReceiptHero Service.
2. Summary
ReceiptHero transmits electronic receipts and offers thereto related services. With the ReceiptHero Service, End Users can receive electronic receipts for their purchases with Merchants using the ReceiptHero Service. Additionally, if End Users activate the ReceiptHero Service in connection with Partner Applications, End Users can receive from Application Developers services based on the End User’s electronic receipts.
End Users use the ReceiptHero Service at their own risk. The use of the ReceiptHero Service is free of charge, but the services offered by Application Developers may entail separate fees.
3. Agreement
In order to use the ReceiptHero Service, each End User is required to accept these terms and conditions. This document will form the entire agreement concerning the use of the ReceiptHero Service between ReceiptHero and the End User ("Agreement").
The Agreement is concluded when the End User has accepted these terms and conditions, or, at the latest when the End User has commenced using the ReceiptHero Service.
The Agreement between a Business Customer and ReceiptHero may also include other appendices in addition to these terms and conditions. In case of conflicts between these Terms and Conditions for End Users and any other agreement documents between ReceiptHero and the Business Customer, if any, the other agreement documents shall take precedence over Terms and Conditions for End Users.
The Business Customer is responsible for that it has obtained the necessary permissions and consents from its employees and representatives for ReceiptHero to provide the ReceiptHero Service to the Business Customer as agreed in the Agreement.
The potential agreements concluded by the End User with the Application Developers or Merchants are not a part of the Agreement.
4. Activating the ReceiptHero Service and personal identifiers
The ReceiptHero Service is activated through registration as an End User. The registration is available at ReceiptHero’s website, at ReceiptHero’s mobile application and in connection with certain Partner Applications integrated with the ReceiptHero Service.
In connection with the registration, the End User gives his/her contact details as well as his/her personal identifiers used in connection with the transactions, such as payment card information or email address. Business Customer may also arrange for the delivery of its employees’ or representatives’ personal identifiers to ReceiptHero through a third party, for example by requesting or authorizing the bank that has issued the Business Customer’s corporate payment cards to provide the personal identifiers to ReceiptHero. The End User can use the said identifiers to activate the ReceiptHero Service in connection with new Partner Applications.
As an alternative to separately registering as an End User of the ReceiptHero Service and giving personal identifiers to ReceiptHero directly, End User may also start using the ReceiptHero Service through a Partner Application. In such case, the End User accepts these Terms and Conditions for End Users in connection with the Partner Application and agrees that the Partner Application and/or ReceiptHero arrange for the delivery of the End User’s personal identifiers to ReceiptHero for the purposes of providing the ReceiptHero Service.
The End User acknowledges that the End User’s payment card information may, for the purposes of the ReceiptHero Service, need to be shared with payment card schemes, payment services providers and other partners participating in the provision of or otherwise contributing to the ReceiptHero Service.
The End User is responsible for the accuracy of the personal identifiers they have provided and that the End User has obtained the necessary authorisations to utilise the provided identification information for the purposes of the ReceiptHero Service. The End User shall notify ReceiptHero without undue delay should any of the identification information change. Using a third party's identification information without authorisation is strictly prohibited and may lead to criminal liability.
ReceiptHero has the right to prevent such End User’s access to the ReceiptHero Service whose personal identifiers ReceiptHero suspects are misused, or which are no longer employed by the Business Customer in question.
5. Provision, Transmission and Inspection of Electronic Receipts
The electronic receipts transmitted by ReceiptHero are available from Merchants which utilise the ReceiptHero Service. In order to receive an electronic receipt, the End User must use the payment card or other personal identifier registered with ReceiptHero in connection with the transaction. Thereafter, the electronic receipt is created, transmitted, and may be used as described in more detail in the ReceiptHero Privacy Notice.
An electronic receipt transmitted by ReceiptHero contains such basic information that is also included in a regular receipt, such as the seller's contact details, the purchased items or services and the price of the purchase including taxes, date of the issuing of the receipt and the identifier of the receipt. In addition, the electronic receipt generated by the ReceiptHero may contain advertisements, feedback functions, loyalty elements, CO2 tracking and compensating, or other interactive or value added features or services as detailed in ReceiptHero Privacy Notice.
The electronic receipts produced by ReceiptHero can be inspected at ReceiptHero's online service and mobile application as well as in certain Partner Applications. Also, if so requested by the End User, the electronic receipts are forwarded to the End User's personal communication tools (such as email address or Facebook Messenger application). The forwarding times, views, and archiving times of the electronic receipts may vary between applications. Also, since certain Merchants may have prohibited the transmission of electronic receipts to certain Partner Applications, it is possible that certain electronic receipts are not available or usable in all Partner Applications.
6. Application Developer's Services and Partner Applications
In connection with the Partner Applications, the Application Developers may offer to End Users receipt inspection and viewing services, and other services based on the electronic receipts. The services provided by Application Developers to End Users may be subject to a fee and may require a separate agreement with the Application Developer. The details of the services provided by Application Developers are defined in the agreement between the End User and the Application Developer.
7. ReceiptHero's Maintenance and Defects
ReceiptHero makes reasonable efforts to ensure that the ReceiptHero Service is available 24 hours per day every day of the year, excluding the development and service windows of which ReceiptHero endeavours to communicate well in advance.
In case of fault-related queries such as questions concerning delayed or missing electronic receipts, the End User may contact ReceiptHero directly. If the fault concerns a Partner Application or only appears in connection with a Partner Application, or relates to the services of an Application Developer, the End User must contact directly the Application Developer in question.
8. Modifications
ReceiptHero may develop and modify the ReceiptHero Service. ReceiptHero has the right to modify these terms and conditions by notifying the End User at least 90 days in advance if ReceiptHero chooses to make changes to the ReceiptHero Service, to its business model, or to the ways in which the ReceiptHero Services is provided, or changes are necessary in light of changes in legal obligations or other regulations that ReceiptHero is bound by. If the End User uses the ReceiptHero Service thereafter, such use is considered to be an acceptance by the End User of the updated terms and conditions.
9. Charges and Expenses
The ReceiptHero Service is provided free of charge to Consumers. The fees applicable to Business Customers, if any, have been specified in the Agreement.
