Octobat, with a share capital of 400 Euros, registered with the Trade Registry of Pontoise under number 820 567 501, whose registered office is located 230 Rue du General Leclerc, 95120 Ermont, FRANCE. (“Octobat,” “We,” or “Us”) provides solutions through Our website accessible at https://www.octobat.com and other locations to enable sellers on online marketplaces to calculate taxes and fees associated with ecommerce transactions, create invoices and tax records and perform related serves (the “Services”). These detailed Terms of Service (“TOS”) and any other terms You are provided with in connection with Your access to and use of the Services, govern Your use of the Services. It is therefore important that You read and understand these TOS. These TOS supersede all previous terms of service available on the Services.

Acceptance of the TOS

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT, BY ACCESSING OR USING THE SERVICES OR BY UPLOADING OR POSTING ANY CONTENT ON THE SERVICES, YOU, YOUR HEIRS, AND ASSIGNS (COLLECTIVELY, “YOU”) ARE INDICATING THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTAND AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TOS, WHETHER OR NOT YOU HAVE REGISTERED ON OR THROUGH THE SERVICES. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE TOS, THEN YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO ACCESS OR USE THE SERVICES.

Modifications to the TOS

Octobat reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to modify its Services at any time and without prior notice. In the event that any modifications to Our Services constitute material changes to scope or functionality, We will notify You by sending You an e-mail to the last e-mail address You provided to us and/or providing notification on Our website. You will be deemed to have accepted Our material changes to any Services, unless You terminate your purchase of ongoing Services within ten (10) days of our notice. In such case, You shall be entitled to request, as full and sole compensation, the pro rata refund of any prepaid subscription fees paid to Us and corresponding to the period after the date of the termination. Payment of such compensation constitutes Your sole and full remedy for termination by You of the ongoing Services. Please note that You are responsible for updating Your email address with us.
