Billwerk+Denmark has and will continue to be PCI compliant and agrees to comply with all applicable state and federal laws and regulations (including those relating to privacy and data security), with regards to its use, access and storage of billing data on your behalf.
By accepting these Terms and Conditions (GENERAL CONDITIONS) The Customer and Billwerk+Denmark also enters into the below “Data Processing Agreement”, which forms part of this Agreement.
E. Following any termination or expiration of this Agreement or your Billwerk+Denmark account, Billwerk+Denmark will retain a copy of your billing data for a period of thirty (30) days. You acknowledge and agree that (i) you are solely responsible for exporting a copy of your billing data prior to any such termination or expiration, and (ii) if you require access to such data following any such termination or expiration, you may be required to pay professional service fees to Billwerk+Denmark to retrieve such data.
2. Term and Termination
The term of this Agreement (the “Term”) shall commence as of the date you first register for, access or use of the Service, and shall continue until terminated as set forth below. You may terminate this Agreement with 3 months notice by notifying Billwerk+Denmark that you wish to terminate your account.

Upon any termination of this Agreement, any amounts owed to Billwerk+Denmark which accrued prior to such termination will become immediately due and payable.
3. Payments

If you need to change your payment card information, for example in relation to a change of payment card, you can send an email to ree-support@billwerk.com.

4. Modifications to Agreement or Service
Billwerk+Denmark reserves the right to amend or modify this Agreement at any time, but if we do, we will bring it to your attention by placing a notice on the Service, by sending you an email (i) as fast as possible if the amendment or modification is a consequence of Billwerk+Denmark’s obligations to comply with relevant laws or regulations, and if this is not the case then (ii) three (3) months prior to the amendment or modification. If you don’t agree with the amended or modified Agreement, you are free to reject it. In this case you can terminate the Agreement with three (3) months prior notice in accordance with clause 2. For the sake of good order, it shall be underlined that you are still able to use the Services during such notice period. If you use the Services in any way after a change to this Agreement is effective, that means you agree to all changes. Except for changes to this Agreement made by Billwerk+Denmark in accordance with this section, no other amendment or modification of this Agreement will be effective unless in writing and signed by both you and Billwerk+Denmark.
Billwerk+Denmark may change, suspend, or discontinue all or any part of the Service at any time, with or without reason (including, without limitation, for any nonpayment of any fees due hereunder).

5. Service Implementation, Registration and Payment Terms
A. You agree to use the Service only through your website or software application that you own and control (the “Site”) and we reserve approval authority as to the implementation and use of the Service on the Site. We may suspend or rate limit the Service in the event we find any implementation issues with the Site. Such suspension or limitation shall remain in effect until you correct any issues specified by Billwerk+Denmark and a suspension or rate limitation shall not relieve you of your payment obligations under the Agreement
B. You agree to provide us with current, complete and accurate registration information as prompted by the Service registration process and to maintain and properly update such information (“Registration Data”).

You further consent and authorize us to verify your Registration Data as required for your use of and access to the Service. Once you subscribe to the Service, you shall receive a unique user ID and password in connection with your account (collectively referred to herein as “IDs”). You agree that you will not allow another person to use your IDs to access and use the Service under any circumstances. You are solely and entirely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your IDs and for any charges, damages, liabilities or losses incurred or suffered as a result of any failure to do so. We are not liable for any harm caused by or related to the theft of your IDs, your disclosure of your IDs, or your authorization to allow another person to access and use the Service using your IDs. Furthermore, you are solely and entirely responsible for any activities that occur under your account including any charges incurred relating to the Service. You agree to immediately notify us of any unauthorized use of your account or any other breach of security known to you.

C. Billwerk+Denmark will submit your customers’ payment information to the applicable payment gateway and will charge you a fee of the transactions processed by the Service. Monthly charges for the Service will be at the rates set forth by Service type and agreed upon by you in the Registration process. Unless otherwise specified on the Services, if any fee is calculated as a percentage of customer billings it shall be calculated based on gross billings (i.e., following the addition of any sales or similar taxes that are applicable to such billings). Payments reflecting charges for the prior month’s use of the Service will be billed by Billwerk+Denmark and deducted from your authorized credit card promptly following the end of each calendar month, or shall otherwise be due and payable in accordance with Billwerk+Denmark’s then-current payment policies. Prices established in this Agreement, and in any schedule, exhibit or related agreement hereto, are exclusive of taxes and other fees which may be imposed on Billwerk+Denmark or you for the provision or use of the Service.
