This document and the other documents that we reference below make up TIPO rules, or what we officially call our Terms of Use (the “Terms” for short). The Terms are a legally binding contract between you and TIPO.

This contract sets out your rights and responsibilities when you use any services (including, in particular, our software applications) provided by TIPO (we’ll refer to all of these collectively as our “Services”), so please read it carefully. If you need any clarifications regarding the Terms, please contact us by email to the following address: hi@tipo.io. Within the limits provided by law, TIPO reserves the right to select merchants. In this respect, TIPO may refuse to provide the Services to anyone, at any time, for any permitted reason.

Any use of our Services (even just browsing one of our websites), is subject to this Terms irrespective if you are a Premium User of Shopify or not. If you don’t agree with the Terms, you may not use our Services.

We know your personal data is important to you, so it’s important to us. Our Privacy Policy details how your information is used when you use our Services.

You’ll need to create an account with TIPO to use some of our Services. Here are a few rules about accounts:

A. You must duly represent a legal entity or act within the scope of a legally organized economic activity and be 18 years or older to use our Services. You are responsible for any and all account activity conducted by a minor on your account. You are solely and fully responsible for the payment of any tax due, under the applicable law, for any income derived as a result of the use of our Services.

B. Be honest with us. Provide accurate information about yourself and/or the entity you represent. By accepting the Terms, you guarantee that you are not registered on behalf of another person or on behalf of an entity you do not represent. It’s prohibited to use false information or impersonate another person or entity through your account.

C. You’re responsible for your account. You’re solely responsible for the information you provide to create your account and for any activity on your account. If you’re sharing an account with other people, then the person whose financial information is on the account will ultimately be responsible for all activity. Also, your accounts are not transferable.

D. Protect your password. As we mentioned above, you’re solely responsible for any activity on your account, so it’s important to keep your account password secure. Here’s a Help article on how to make your account more secure. TIPO will not be liable for any loss that you may incur because of someone else using your username and password, or account, either with or without your consent.

E. Let’s be clear about our relationship. These Terms don’t create any agency, partnership, joint venture, employment, or franchisee relationship between you and TIPO. The Terms represent the agreement concluded by the parties and it governs the contractual relationship between us.

Store Content that you post using our Services is your content (so let’s refer to it as “Your Content”). We don’t make any claim to it, which includes anything you post using our Services (like shop names, profile pictures, listing photos, listing descriptions, reviews, comments, videos, usernames, etc.).

A. Responsibility for Your Content. You understand and agree that you are solely responsible for Your Content. You represent that you have all necessary rights to Your Content and that you’re not infringing or violating any third party’s rights by posting it.

B. Permission to Use Your Content. By posting Your Content through our Services, you grant TIPO a license to use it in order to offer you the services you requested. We don’t claim any ownership to Your Content, but we have your permission to use it in order to improve functionalities of the Services. That way, we won’t infringe any rights you have in Your Content and we can help promote your stuff.

C. In other words. By posting Your Content, you grant TIPO a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, irrevocable, sub-licensable, perpetual license to use, display, edit, modify, reproduce, distribute, store, and prepare derivative works of Your Content. You agree not to assert any moral rights or rights of publicity against us for using Your Content. You also recognize our legitimate interest in using it, in accordance with the scope of this license, to the extent Your Content contains any personal information.

E. Inappropriate, False, or Misleading Content. This should be common sense, but there are certain types of content we don’t want posted on TIPO Services (for legal reasons or otherwise). You agree that you will not post any content that is abusive, threatening, defamatory, obscene, vulgar, or otherwise offensive or in violation of our Terms or the applicable law. You also agree not to post any content that is false and misleading or uses the Services in a manner that is fraudulent or deceptive. If you breach this article, we may delete Your Content without any indemnification or prior notice.

F. Enforcement

TIPO reserves the right but does not assume the obligation to strictly enforce these Terms, including without limitation by issuing warnings, suspension, or termination of access to the website and/or Services, and/or by removing, screening, or editing of Content, or by engaging in self-help and active investigation, litigation and prosecution in any court or other appropriate venue.

TIPO may access, use, and disclose transaction information and any Content provided by you to comply with the law (e.g., a lawful request) or based on our reasonable judgment that disclosure is necessary, or to enforce or apply our agreements (including these Terms), to initiate, render, bill, and collect for Services, to protect our rights or property, or to protect users of our Services, the website and other persons or entities from fraudulent, abusive, or unlawful use of the website or any such Services.

Except as set forth below, you are also solely responsible for collecting and/or paying any applicable taxes for any purchases or sales you make through our Services.

Termination By You. We’d hate to see you go, but you may terminate your account with TIPO together with your access to our Services at any time by deleting the application from your Shopify list of apps. The termination will affect Your Content that you posted through the Services prior to termination, as TIPO manages that content and TIPO is no longer functioning. Your settings of our applications will be stored for no more than 1 (one) month after deleting them.

Termination By TIPO. We may terminate or suspend your account (and any related accounts) and your access to the Services at any time, without having to justify our decision. If we do so, it’s important to understand that you don’t have a contractual or legal right to continue to use our Services. In this case, we will reimburse the fees corresponding to remaining period of time between termination and the already paid period.

If you or TIPO terminate your account, you may lose any information associated with your account, including Your Content and your settings of our applications.

We will not be liable to you for the effect that any termination of the Services may have on you, including your income or your ability to generate revenue through the Services. We May Discontinue or Suspend the Services. TIPO reserves the right to suspend or discontinue any of the Services at any time without prior notice, if you breach any of the provisions of this Terms. We will not be liable to you for the effect that any interruption of the Services may have on you, including your income or your ability to generate revenue through the Services and you will not be entitled to any refund.

We offer free of charge support services by e-mail and chat for troubleshooting purposes or if you need our support to customize your use of our applications. If you use inappropriate language or have an impolite or otherwise inappropriate conduct towards our employees, we may refuse your request for support.

You acknowledge that TIPO does not provide any data back-up services, including any Content or any other data that you or third parties upload, post or use.

WARRANTIES. TIPO IS DEDICATED TO MAKING OUR SERVICES THE BEST THEY CAN BE, BUT WE’RE NOT PERFECT AND SOMETIMES THINGS CAN GO WRONG. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT OUR SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS”. WE ARE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMING ANY WARRANTIES OF TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AS WELL AS ANY WARRANTIES IMPLIED BY A COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, COURSE OF DEALING, OR USAGE OF TRADE.

WE DO NOT GUARANTEE THAT:

(I) THE SERVICES WILL BE SECURE OR AVAILABLE AT ANY PARTICULAR TIME OR LOCATION,

(II) ANY DEFECTS OR ERRORS WILL BE CORRECTED, (III) THE SERVICES WILL BE FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL MATERIALS OR THE RESULTS OF USING THE SERVICES WILL MEET YOUR EXPECTATIONS;

(IV) THERE WILL BE NO BREACH OF security leading to accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to, ANY data transmitted, stored or otherwise processed THROUGH OUR SERVICES. YOU USE THE SERVICES SOLELY AT YOUR OWN RISK.

TIPO IS NOT RESPONSIBLE TO YOU OR TO ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY DAMAGE, LOSS OF PROFITS, BUSINESS, CONTRACTS, REVENUES, GOODWILL, PRODUCTIONS AND ANTICIPATING SAVINGS OR ANY DIRECT OR INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR ECONOMIC LOSS OF ANY KIND AS A RESULT OF: ANY FAULTS, OMISSION, TECHNICAL PROBLEMS AND MALFUNCTIONING ATTRIBUTED TO THE PLATFORMS TIPO IS USING FOR THE PROVISION OF THE SERVICES, INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDERS OR DELAYS IN THE TRANSMISSION OR STORAGE OF ANY DATA PROVIDED TO TIPO; ANY DELAY AND/OR FAILURE ON BEHALF OF TIPO TO PROVIDE ITS SERVICES DUE TO FORCE MAJEURE CASES, WHICH INCLUDE GOVERNMENTAL BANNING OF THE AGREED SERVICES; FOR TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT; FOR ANY NEGLIGENCE ON OUR SIDE.

WE DON’T WARRANT THAT THE APPLICATION WILL OPERATE WITHOUT DISRUPTIONS, ERRORS OR INTERRUPTIONS, OR THAT IT WILL BE ACCESSIBLE OR AVAILABLE AT ALL TIMES OR IMMUNE FROM GLITCHES OR UNAUTHORIZED ACCES. YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE ANY COMPENSATION OR REFUND FOR SUCH INTERRUPTION.

IF THE USE OF THE SERVICES IS SUSPENDED/INTERRUPTED BECAUSE OF ANY NEGLIGENCE ON OUR SIDE, FOR MORE THAN 7 CALENDAR DAYS, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO TERMINATE THE AGREEMENT AND YOUR ACCOUNT, AND WE WILL REFUND THE FEES YOU PAID, PRORATED WITH THE PERIOD REMANING UNTIL THE TERMINATION OF THE PREPAID SERVICE IN THIS RESPECT, YOU SHALL PROMPTLY INFORM US BY SENDING AN EMAIL TO HI@TIPO.IO.

WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO WITHDRAW APPLICATIONS OR FUNCTIONALITIES OF OUR APPLICATIONS WITH A PRIOR WRITTEN NOTICE SENT TO YOU WITH 15 (FIFTEEN) CALENDAR DAYS IN ADVANCE. THIS DOES NOT ENTITLE YOU TO ANY REFUND. HOWEVER, IF YOU NO LONGER WANT TO USE OUR SERVICES AS A RESULT OF THESE CHANGES, YOU CAN TERMINATE YOUR ACCOUNT AND DELETE OUR APLLICATIONS, NO LATER THAN 30 DAYS AFTER WE HAVE IMPLEMENTED THE ANNOUNCED CHANGES. WITHIN THE SAME 30-DAY TERM, YOU MAY ALSO ASK FOR A REFUND OF THE FEES YOU PAID, PRORATED WITH THE PERIOD REMANING UNTIL THE TERMINATION OF THE PREPAID SERVICE.

IN EXCEPTIONAL SITUATIONS, TIPO HAS THE RIGHT TO WITHDRAW APPLICATIONS OR FUNCTIONS WITHOUT ANY PRIOR NOTICE. THE ABOVE SHALL APPLY MUTATIS MUTANDIS. THIS AGREEMENT TERMS AND CONDITIONS THAT BY THEIR NATURE SHOULD SURVIVE TERMINATION SHALL SURVIVE TERMINATION, INCLUDING WITHOUT BEING LIMITED TO WARRANTY AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY CLAUSES.

During the term of the agreement under which TIPO has agreed to give you the right of use of the Services, TIPO will provide a Monthly Uptime Percentage to the customers (the “Service Level Objective” or “SLO”) of 99.9%.

If TIPO does not meet the SLO, and if the Customer meets its obligations under this Terms of Use, the Customer will be eligible to receive a refund as described below. This SLA states the Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy for any failure by TIPO to meet the SLO.

Monthly Uptime PercentagePercentage of monthly bill to be refunded99.0% – < 99.9%10%95.0% – < 99.0%25%< 95.0%50%

In order to receive any refund described above, the Customer must notify TIPO’s technical support within 10 days from the time Customer becomes eligible to receive a refund. Failure to comply with this requirement will forfeit Customer’s right to receive a refund. The SLA does not apply to any errors or failure on our side to comply with the thresholds mentioned above (i) caused by factors outside of TIPO’S reasonable control or negligence or (ii) that resulted from your software or hardware or third-party software of hardware or both or (iii) that resulted from abuses or other behaviours that violate this Terms or the law. Section 8 of this Terms shall apply mutatis mutandis.

TIPO shall not be responsible for any failure to perform its obligations under the Terms if such failure is caused by force majeure or unforeseen circumstances such as, cyberattacks, war, strikes, revolutions, laws or governmental regulations, other causes that are beyond the reasonable control of such party or other similar events.

In such event, our obligations shall be suspended until termination of the event referred above. If such force majeure/unforeseen circumstance lasts for more than 30 (thirty) calendar days, we may terminate our agreement at any time. A case of force majeure or unforeseen circumstance shall be notified to the other party by e-mail within 3 (three) calendar days after its occurrence.

We hope this never happens, but if TIPO gets sued because of something that you did, you agree to defend and indemnify us. That means you’ll defend TIPO (including any of our employees) and hold us harmless from any legal claim or demand (including reasonable attorney’s fees) that arises from your actions, your use (or misuse) of our Services, your breach of the Terms, or your account’s infringement of someone else’s rights.

We reserve the right to handle our legal defence however we see fit, even if you are indemnifying us, in which case you agree to cooperate with us so we can execute our strategy.

If you find yourself in a dispute with another user of TIPO’S Services or a third party, we encourage you to contact the other party and try to resolve the dispute amicably.

If you’re upset with us, let us know, and hopefully we can resolve your issue. But if we can’t, then these rules will govern any legal dispute involving our Services:

A. Governing Law. The Terms are governed by the laws of Vietnam, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. These laws will apply no matter where in the world you live. For avoidance of doubt, as merchant, you do not qualify for the consumer protection that some states recognize. Any dispute arising out of or in connection with this contract, including any question regarding its existence, validity or termination, shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Vietnam Courts.

We may update these Terms from time to time. In this case we will definitely let you know by posting the changes through the Services and/or sending you an email or message about the changes. That way you can decide whether you want to continue using the Services. Changes will be effective upon the posting of the changes unless otherwise specified. You are responsible for reviewing and becoming familiar with any changes. Your use of the Services after 5 days following the changes, constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms.

The Terms, including all of the policies that make up the Terms, supersede any other agreement between you and TIPO regarding the Services. If any part of the Terms is found to be unenforceable, that part will be limited to the minimum extent necessary so that the Terms will otherwise remain in full force and effect. Our failure to enforce any part of the Terms is not a waiver of our right to later enforce that or any other part of the Terms. We may assign any of our rights and obligations under the Terms. You are allowed to assign your rights and obligations established under the Terms only without our prior written consent.

If you have any questions about the Terms, please email us athi@tipo.io.
