You acknowledge that Duda shall not be responsible or liable to You, Your Clients or End Users for any of Your or Your Clients breaches of applicable law.

Duda does not have a relationship with your clients or site visitors, so we’re not responsible for how you handle their information.

B. Duda’s Privacy Obligations.

Duda shall be entitled to use the Personal Data for statistical and financial purposes; provided, however, that any personal attributes shall be removed from such data or otherwise if such is maintained on an aggregated basis.

Duda implements appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security of Personal Data, appropriate to the risk, as deemed appropriate by Duda.

Duda was certified under the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework (“Privacy Shield”), before the Privacy Shield was invalidated by the European Court of Justice in 2020. For any information that Duda collected under the Privacy Shield Duda will continue to apply the same level of protection of such information. Duda will only retain Personal Data for as long as Services are provided to You in accordance with this Agreement or as otherwise permissible under applicable laws. Following expiration or termination of the Agreement, Duda will delete or return to You all Personal Data in its possession as provided in the Agreement except to the extent Duda is required by applicable law to retain some or all of the Personal Data (in which case Duda will implement reasonable measures to prevent the Personal Data from any further Processing). The terms of this agreement will continue to apply to such Personal Data.

You must have an Authorized Card on file at all times to access the Services. Failure to maintain an Authorized Card may result in termination of Your Account or Sites. Your Authorized Card will be charged per the payment processor terms each month, and each month thereafter until termination. If You upgrade or purchase services in the middle of the month, You may be charged a prorated fee.

You understand and agree that if You elect to download Duda Apps from the Duda App Store, the fees for these Duda Apps will be billed separately in accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable Duda App.

You understand and agree that We will charge all Services Fees that are due or past due (including from previous billing periods) and all expenses that are due or past due (including from previous Billing Period and including any expenses related to the failure of Your original payment method) and all late fees incurred to the alternate payment method. You expressly authorize these charges.

You are and shall be fully responsible for the payment of any taxes that apply to Your use of the Services.

The Services, including without limitation payment processing, may be handled directly by Us or by online third parties. Where a third party handles a payment, the payment is subject to the terms of use and privacy policy of such third party (including among others payment methods, tax liability, collection and use of Your Personal Data, and support levels). We recommend that You review the terms of use and privacy policy of such third parties before submitting any Personal Data and using such third parties' services.

We will charge the credit card you use when you sign up to pay for the Services and taxes based on the plan you choose. If You Purchase Duda Apps, or third party services, those will be billed separately. If you change credit cards, please update Your info with us as soon as possible.

In order to ensure that You do not experience any interruption or loss of services due to the lapse of any particular subscription period, the Services operate with automatic renewal, on a recurring-fees basis (except where explicitly stated otherwise). Accordingly, where applicable, Duda will attempt to automatically renew the applicable Services for a renewal period equal in time to the original subscription period for such Service, and automatically charge You the applicable fees using Your Authorized Card.

Duda reserves the right to establish the price for every Service We offer. We may change the price of any Service at any time, in Our sole discretion. We reserve the right to charge a price for a Service that was previously offered for free. If We decide to increase the price of Service for which You are subscribed, We will make every effort to communicate this pricing change to You via email. We do not need to notify You if We decide to raise the price of a Service for which You are not subscribed.

To prevent interruptions, we automatically renew our services at the end of the subscription period, unless you cancel your plan through the Platform. Prices may change so please pay attention to any notifications we send via email.

For most subscription Services, We generally offer a full, thirty (30) day money-back guarantee. If You provide written notification of Your request for cancellation of the subscription Services within the first thirty (30) days of Your original purchase of a subscription-based Service, the fees that Duda has received from You will be refunded. No refunds will be provided for subscription-based Services after the thirty (30) day guarantee period. For monthly subscription Services, You are welcome to cancel at any time without obligation to pay for additional monthly payments.

Algunos productos y servicios no son elegibles para reembolso; a menos que la ley disponga lo contrario, todas las compras de este tipo de productos y servicios son finales y no reembolsables:

• All set-up fees, one-time or annual, in connection with Services, including but not limited to hire an expert and custom website design services;
• Imágenes premium; y
• Any other product or service marked with a designation such as “Non-Refundable.”

For most monthly subscription services you purchase directly from Duda, you can request a refund within the first 30 days of your purchase. Check the terms of purchase carefully, because some products aren’t refundable.

If We do not receive Your full and complete payment by the due date, We may charge You a late fee on the unpaid balance and may also terminate or suspend Your Service. The fee will be calculated at the maximum percentage permitted by applicable law, not to exceed 1.5 percent per month. In the event We utilize a collection agency or resort to legal action to recover an unpaid balance, You agree to reimburse Us for all expenses incurred to recover such unpaid balance, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs. If You fail to pay on time and We refer Your account(s) to a third party for collection, a collection fee will be assessed and will be due at the time of the referral to the third party.

You may be subject to late fees if we don’t receive payment on time.

Grounds for such termination may include, but are not limited to, extended periods of inactivity, non-payment, loss, theft or unauthorized use of Your Registration Data, violation of the letter or spirit of this Agreement, violation of the USER CONDUCT guidelines (Section 9), providing content that is inappropriate or offensive in Our discretion, or if We have reasonable grounds to suspect any of the Registration Data that You provided is inaccurate, not current or incomplete.

If You build a Site on the Platform and fail to publish or edit that Site for six months or longer, Duda may, at Duda’s discretion, delete such Site with or without notice to You. If You delete Your account but still have published Sites, Duda reserves the right, but is under no obligation, to delete Your Sites.

We can terminate your services for any reason. If you build sites and abandon them for a period of six months, those sites may be deleted.

11. RELEASE & DISPUTES WITH OTHERS

You are solely responsible for Your interaction with Your Clients, the End Users, other users of the Services and other parties with whom You come in contact through Your and their use of the Platform, Sites and Services. We reserve the right, but have no obligation, to monitor and/or manage disputes between You and other users of the Services. If You have a dispute with one or more third parties (including, but not limited to, Your employees, Your Clients, or End Users), You release Us (and Our officers, directors, agents, subsidiaries, joint ventures and employees) from claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes. If You are a California resident, You waive California Civil Code §1542, which says: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.”

We aren’t responsible nor are we obligated to get involved in any disputes you have with third parties such as your employees, customers, or website visitors. We don’t have a direct relationship with your customers or website visitors, so any complaints from third parties will be handled directly by you.

12. DISCLAIMERS OF ALL WARRANTIES

DUDA'S CONTENT, THE PLATFORM, AND THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS. WE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, SATISFACTORY QUALITY AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

WITHOUT LIMITING THE ABOVE, (I) WE MAKE NO WARRANTY THAT THE PLATFORM, YOUR SITES, THE SERVICES OR THE CONTENT WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS, OR WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, CONTINUOUS, TIMELY, SECURE, ACCURATE, CORRECT, COMPLETE, OR AVAILABLE; (II) WE DO NOT ENDORSE OR APPROVE ANY OF YOUR CONTENT OR CONTENT PROVIDED BY ANY THIRD-PARTY AND DISCLAIM ALL LIABILITY WHATSOEVER THERETO; AND (III) WE DO NOT WARRANT OR MAKE ANY REPRESENTATIONS REGARDING THE USE OR THE RESULTS OF YOUR SITE(S), THE SERVICES, OR THE CONTENT IN TERMS OF ITS CORRECTNESS, COMPLETENESS, RESULTS, AVAILABILITY, ACCURACY, RELIABILITY OR OTHERWISE.

Our platform is provided as is and we don’t make any legal warranties regarding the quality of our services.

13. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL WE BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT OR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF ANY (I) USE OR THE INABILITY (FOR ANY REASON) TO USE ANY PART OF THE PLATFORM OR THE SERVICES (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE USE OF ANY CONTENT, INACCURACIES OR ERRORS OF INFORMATION AS A RESULT OF ACCESSING THE PLATFORM OR THE SERVICES), (II) ACTION OR INACTION IN CONNECTION WITH THE AGREEMENT OR FOR COST OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE SERVICES, OR (III) STATEMENTS OR CONDUCT OF YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY ON THE DUDA WEBSITE OR YOUR SITE, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY SUBMISSIONS THEREON; IN EACH CASE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE.

All of the above limitations shall apply notwithstanding any failure of essential purpose of any limited remedy and are fundamental elements of the bargain between Us and You. You agree that any claim or cause of action arising out of or in connection with the Platform, the Services, the Content or the Agreement must be filed within thirty (30) days after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred.

En el caso de que esta limitación de responsabilidad sea por cualquier motivo considerada inaplicable o inaplicable, usted acepta que nuestra responsabilidad agregada no excederá el monto que nos pagó de conformidad con este Acuerdo.

We won’t be liable for damages unless required by law.

14. INDEMNIFICATION

YOU RELEASE, AND AGREE, AT YOUR OWN EXPENSE, TO INDEMNIFY, DEFEND AND HOLD HARMLESS US, OUR OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS AND AFFILIATES, FROM ALL CLAIMS, LIABILITIES, LOSS AND DAMAGES (OF EVERY KIND, WHETHER KNOWN OR UNKNOWN AND SUSPECTED OR UNSUSPECTED) RELATED TO IN ANY WAY TO: (I) YOUR USE OF, ACCESS TO OR RELIANCE ON THE SERVICES OR THE DUDA CONTENT, (II) YOUR CONTENT, (III) YOUR SITES (IV) YOUR CLIENTS’ SITES OR (III) YOUR VIOLATION OF ANY OF THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY APPLICABLE LAWS OR REGULATIONS.

We will provide You with written notice of such a claim. You will not enter into any settlement or compromise of any such claim without Our prior written consent. We may assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by You. In all events, You shall cooperate fully in the defense of any claim.

If someone brings a claim against us related to your use of our services, you will pay the cost of any of our damages and expenses.

15. THIRD PARTY SERVICES

In connection with Your use of the Site or the Services, You may be made aware of services, products, offers and promotions provided by third parties. Portions of the Services provided by third parties shall be subject to such entity’s terms and conditions, and Your use of such entity’s services is subject to and conditioned upon Your acceptance of such additional terms and conditions. If You decide to use such third-party services, You are responsible for reviewing and understanding the terms and conditions governing such third-party services, and acknowledge that the third party is responsible for the performance of such services.

You acknowledge and agree that regardless of the manner in which Third Party Services may be offered to You (bundled with certain Duda Services, offered separately by Duda or otherwise offered anywhere on the Services), Duda merely acts as an intermediary platform between You and the Third Party Services, and does not in any way endorse the Third Party Services, or shall be in any way responsible or liable with respect thereto. Duda will not be a party to, or in any way be responsible for monitoring, any interaction or transaction between You and any Third Party Services.

Duda’s Services allow You to import or link certain Content hosted on third-party websites into the Services (“Third Party Content”). Third Party Content isn’t owned by Duda, and thus if it is no longer available or accessible to a user, then those portions of Your creation that reference such Third Party Content will not work.

The Services provide You with the ability to embed images, animations, videos, audio, fonts, and other Content owned or provided by You or other third parties into the Services. The Use of such Third Party Content shall be subject to the compliance with the provisions of these Terms and if applicable, the terms of use and/or end user license agreement provided by the third party owning or providing the Third-Party Content.

Duda does not warrant that any Content embedded in a website, either generated via automatic import, or placed manually by You, is licensed for use in Your jurisdiction. You are responsible for ensuring You have the appropriate licenses, usage rights or meet the requirements for Fair Use, and/or other laws and rights in Your jurisdiction, that may be required for using any of Your Content.

Duda shall have the right, at any time, at its sole and exclusive discretion to remove any Third-Party Content from the Services and/or disable access to Third-Party Content.

The following restrictions apply to all images made available to You via the Service. You shall not use any image:

• presented together with pornographic, defamatory, or unlawful content or in such a manner that it infringes upon any third party’s trademark or intellectual property rights;
• portraying any person depicted therein (a "Model") in a way that a reasonable person would find offensive, including but not limited to depicting a Model:
• in connection with pornography, "adult videos", adult entertainment venues, escort services, dating services, or the like;
• in connection with the advertisement or promotion of tobacco products;
• as endorsing a political party, candidate, elected official, or opinion;
• as suffering from, or medicating for, a physical or mental ailment; or
• engaging in immoral or criminal activities.
• como marca registrada, marca de servicio o logotipo.

While we hope to avoid such instances, Duda may, at any time and at its sole discretion, suspend, disable access to or remove from Your account and/or the Services, any Third Party Services – whether or not incorporated with or made part of Your account and/or website(s) at such time – without any liability to You, Your Clients, or to any End Users.

You may see offers from third parties through our service (for example Apps, images, or experts). These third party services are offered for your convenience and we aren’t responsible for them, so please do your own vetting. The third party services are governed by their own terms, which are separate from ours.

16. COPYRIGHTED MATERIALS, INFRINGEMENT NOTICES AND TAKEDOWN

YOU SHALL NOT USE THE SERVICES TO TRANSMIT, ROUTE, PROVIDE CONNECTIONS TO OR STORE ANY MATERIAL THAT INFRINGES COPYRIGHTED WORKS OR OTHERWISE VIOLATES OR PROMOTES THE VIOLATION OF THE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OF ANY THIRD PARTY.

We have adopted and implemented a policy, stated below, that provides for the termination in appropriate circumstances of Duda users who infringe or are believed to be infringing the rights of copyright holders:

If You believe that any material contained on a Site infringes Your copyright, You should notify this Site's Designated Agent listed below by mail or email with the following information required under 17 U.S.C. § 512:
A la atención de:
Cuestiones legales de Duda

We respect the IP rights of others. If you suspect copyright violations, please follow these instructions.

17. COMPLAINTS HANDLING; MEDIATION; GOVERNING LAW AND EXCLUSIVE COURTS

If You have a complaint regarding Our Services You can lodge Your complaint by emailing legal@duda.co.

We attempt to resolve all complaints as swiftly and as effectively as possible, and try to address any issues raised to the best of Our ability, taking into account the importance and complexity of the issue raised. Once We have reviewed Your complaint, We will communicate to You the outcome of the review.

In case of any dispute which remains unresolved, the parties will first attempt in good faith to negotiate a written resolution of the matter directly. If the matter remains unresolved for sixty (60) days it will be deemed a “dispute” and each party shall first refer the dispute to proceedings under the ICC Mediation Rules, or the JAMS Mediation Rules, as mutually agreed. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing, the parties shall conduct the mediation in Santa Clara County California, USA and select a mutually agreeable mediator. If the parties are unable to agree upon a mediator, the parties agree that ICC or JAMS, as applicable, shall select a mediator from its panels consistent with its mediation rules. The mediation shall be conducted in English and each party shall bear its own fees, costs and expenses. Each party shall designate a business executive to have full and complete authority to resolve the dispute and to represent its interests in the mediation, and each party may, in its sole discretion, include any number of other representatives in the mediation process.

Este Acuerdo se regirá por las leyes del Estado de California, independientemente de su elección de ley o principios de conflicto de leyes. Por la presente, usted acepta la jurisdicción exclusiva y el lugar de los tribunales en el condado de Santa Clara, California, EE. UU., Excepto que cualquier corte puede solicitar un alivio temporal para prohibir la violación de los derechos de propiedad intelectual.

If you have a complaint about our services, contact legal@duda.co so we can try to resolve it internally. If that doesn’t work, we will go to mediation. This agreement will be governed by California law.

18. MISCELLANEOUS

No waiver of any term of this Agreement shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other term, and any failure to assert any right or provision under the Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such term. This Agreement, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by You, but may be assigned by Us without restriction. You agree that no joint venture, partnership, employment, franchise or agency relationship exists between You and Us as a result of the use of the Site or the Services.

This Agreement comprises the entire agreement between You and Us, states Our and Our suppliers' entire liability and Your exclusive remedy with respect to the Site and Services, and supersedes all prior agreements pertaining to the subject matter thereof. If any provision(s) of this Agreement is held to be contrary to law, then such provision(s) shall be construed, as nearly as possible, to reflect the original provision and the other provisions remain in full force and effect.

The section titles in this Agreement are solely used for convenience and have no legal or contractual significance. Any explanation or summary under the “#InPlainEnglish” heading is provided for convenience, and in no way defines any section or legally binds either party.

No provision of the Agreement shall be construed against Us but rather shall be construed in a neutral and fair manner as terms entered into by a fully-informed party on a voluntary basis after opportunity to confer with advisors and legal counsel about the meaning and effects of the terms of this Agreement.

Survival. Any provision of the Agreement that contemplates performance or observance subsequent to termination or expiration of the Agreement (including, without limitation, confidentiality, limitation of liability and indemnification) will survive termination or expiration of the Agreement and continue in full force and effect thereafter.

These terms and the polices are the final and complete agreement between us. If one section of these terms is invalid, it doesn’t invalidate the whole agreement. The headings and “InPlainEnglish” sections are for convenience only and are not legally binding.
