Terms of Service

1. Scope

1.1 These Terms of Service (“ToS”) by Digital Purchase Order (LeBog Software GmbH, the “Company” or “DPO”) apply to all contracts between the Company and its customers as entrepreneurs , “Customer”, Company and Customer jointly referred to as “Parties”) regarding the use of the 'the Company' Software (“Software”) as described in detail under https://www.digitalpurchaseorder.com/ (“Website”) and all related services (the Software and related services jointly the “Service(s)”). The provided scope of the Services depends on the Customer’s subscription plan. The Services are exclusively offered to entrepreneurs.

​1.2 The Company does not accept any Terms and Conditions of the Customer, unless otherwise agreed in writing.

​1.3 The Customer shall be notified in advance of any changes to these ToS by e-mail. If the Customer does not object to such changes within six weeks after receipt of the change notification, the changes shall be deemed agreed. The Customer shall be informed separately of the right to object and the legal consequences of silence in the event of an amendment to the ToS.

2. Registration / Contract
2.1 The use of the Services requires a valid contract that can be concluded between the Parties either via the Website or offline (“Contract”). In case of an offline Contract DPO will create a Customer Account (“Customer Account”) and provide the Customer with the technical option to create personal log-in data. Via the Account the Customer may invite the amount of users (“User”) licensed under the Contract. The Users will receive an invitation email in which they will be asked to set-up a personal user account (“User Account”) and to choose a password.

​In order to conclude a contract via the Website the Customer may choose between a free trial period (“Trial Period”) or a direct purchase of one of the following subscription plans: “Basic”, “Standard”, “Executive” and “Premium” or “Enterprise” (Custom License Packages) (together the “Subscription Plans”). Each Subscription Plan runs for the subscription Period indicated on the website (https://www.digitalpurchaseorder.com/pricing-small-business-corporations) or in the Custom Contract (“Subscription Period”). The features included in the Service depend on the chosen Subscription Plan and are indicated for each Subscription Plan on the website (www.digitalpurchaseorder.com/pricing-small-business-corporations). After the Customer has chosen a Subscription Plan, the Customer has to fill in personal and billing data. The Customer must fill in the sign-up form truthfully and completely and accept these ToS. A natural person registering the Account for a legal entity confirms with the registration to be duly authorized to act on the legal entity’s behalf.

​By clicking on the “Proceed”-button the Customer will be forwarded to an overview page on which the Customer may check and alter the purchase order. By clicking on the button “Purchase now” submits a binding offer on the conclusion of the contract. The Contract is concluded when the Customer receives a confirmation email on the email address provided. In this confirmation email the Customer will also be asked to verify the email address and to choose a new password for the Customer Account. The Customer may up- or downgrade the current Subscription Plan to another Subscription plan at any time. In case of an upgrade, the Customer will be charged with the price difference between the current and the upgraded Subscription Plan upon activation of the upgraded Subscription Plan. In case of a downgrade, the reduced remuneration will be charged on the starting of the new Subscription Period. The Customer is not entitled to any pro rata refunds for the current Subscription Period.

​2.2 The Customer may also sign-up once for a Free Trial (“Free Trial”). To use the Free trial the Customer has to fill in the form by inserting personal details, including name, phone number and an email address. By clicking on the button “Register for Free” the Customer submits a binding offer for the conclusion of a renumeration free Contract with DPO on the use of Services for the duration of two (2) weeks (“Free Trial Period”). DPO may accept this offer by sending a confirmation email to the Customer containing a link for the completion of the registration. The Free Trial terminates automatically upon expiry of the Free Trial Period. During or after the Free Trial Period the Customer may swap from the Free Trial to any of the Subscription Plans at any time.

​2.3 Depending on the Subscription Plan Customer may invite a certain amount of Users (minimum: 3) via email to use the Service. In case of offline contracts DPO will invite the first Users on behalf of the customer. Further Users can be then invited by the Customer. The invited Users will receive a confirmation email and will be asked to confirm the email address and to complete the registration of the User Account. The Customer shall be solely responsible for such User Accounts and ensure that the Users use the Service only in accordance with these ToS.

​2.4 Customer or User Accounts must not be transferred to any other third party.

​2.5 The contractual language is English; DPO does not store the contractual information.

3. Renumeration

The Software is kept available via this Data Centre along with the data that is recorded, elevated, used and held, saved onto the open platform and kept available for remote data access in the interest of intended polling. Use of the Software will be made available to the Customer by the Company from the router output via the Data Centre. The establishing and maintaining of the data connection between the Customer’s end device and the delivery point operated by the Company is subject to the Customer's responsibilities.

​4.4 Access to the Service and the stored data are possible at all times, except during maintenance, unless the Company is required to carry out emergency support works or take other urgent measures in order to maintain the Service.

Any use of Third Party Applications with the Services will be at the Customer’s sole risk.

5. Invoice automation
Customers may use the Software to scan and digitalize invoices. The invoices are automatically digitised with the help of OCR Technology, Artificial Intelligence (“AI”)- and Machine Learning (“ML”)-driven solutions to enhance the usability of the Software and to provide a fully automated user experience for the Customer. In the course of the invoice automation process the Software will recognize the invoice information and enable the Customer to link invoices to certain purchase orders and/or to match without any PO. The Customer then has the option of approving the invoices via an adjustable approval chain. Despite the use of state-of-the-art technologies and AI, the possibility of transmission errors during the digitization process cannot be entirely eliminated. It remains the sole responsibility of the Customer to verify the accuracy of the content extracted before validating a transaction.

Company is also offering third party integrations to accounting packages for AP Automation. Although those integrations have been tested it is important to note that there is still a possibility of errors occurring during data transmission. Company makes no guarantees regarding the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of the integration with third-party software. Customer is advised to exercise caution and regularly review the performance of the integration in order to address any potential issues that may arise.

6. Textract
DPO uses Amazon Textract, a cloud service provided as part of Amazon Web Services (“AWS”) (website: https://aws.amazon.com/de/textract/ ), to extract printed or handwritten text from documents, images or PDF files scanned by the Customer. Amazon Textract uses AI and ML methods to extract texts and recognizes structures or relationships in the documents. Customer acknowledges that DPO cannot take any responsibility with regard to the accuracy and completeness of Textract results. If the Customer chooses to use Textract it is the Customer’s sole responsibility to review and verify any extraction results. In no event DPO can be held liable for damages resulting from inaccurate extraction results.
