The execution of a transaction, including registration on our Site, ordering of any service, your activity is governed by our Terms of Use and its annexes and our legal documents. The User has the possibility to design the actual look and feel of the chosen appearance and decide how the bercode should be displayed in this form.
4.1. Pricing

By creating a bercode issuer profile, you declare that you have read and agree to be bound by the "Data transfer agreement" applied by Benefit Barcode, Inc. pursuant to Section 46 (2) (c) of the GDPR for the purpose of transferring data to the United States. It is not possible to use the “Bercode issuer services” without the approval of the “Data transfer agreement”.
The bercode(s) may be issued by a bercode issuer. Actual bercode issuance means that the Site randomly generates a unique numeric sequence of 18 digits generated by a specific method. Any design, pattern or form that violates the law will be rejected and the bercode issuer will be notified of the rejection. However, the bercode issuer may choose to order a limited number of bercodes, without requesting the Site to print them on media, and instead send them to a partner it deems appropriate for printing.
4.3. The plastic-based bercode carrier can be produced by two different manufacturing methods.
4.3.1. Retransfer Technology
In the case of a plastic card or keytag produced using retransfer technology, all the data is printed on the plastic base at the same time.

In the case of offset plastic cards or keytags, the data will be printed on the plastic base in two steps (production of base cards or key fobs and subsequent personalization).
4.4. Bercode issuers may sell the bercode in accordance with Benefit Barcode's pricing or they may sell the bercode using their own pricing, taking into account the prices set as the minimum mandatory price for bercode issuers. Bercode issuers may not publish a price other than the minimum price on their own Bercode webshop or on their own websites. Bercode issuers may sell the bercode as a stand-alone item, on a virtual or plastic card, on a plastic keytag or sticker, or on another format or medium produced for displaying the bercode. Benefit Barcode currently offers virtual and plastic cards, plastic keytags or stickers as a service to fulfill orders submitted through the "Order Bercodes from the Bercode credit" submenu. Bercode issuers may also use other formats from providers other than Benefit Barcode to display the bercode in other formats. Benefit Barcode assumes no responsibility for transmitting bercode in a format other than the format originally used by Benefit Barcode to display the bercode. Bercode issuers may sell bercodes online or offline.
4.5. Parties acknowledge and agree that the damages suffered by Benefit Barcode as a result of a breach by the bercode issuer of the covenant set forth in Section 4 hereof or in Annex 1 of these Terms and Conditions, governing the mandatory minimum price, may be difficult to determine with certainty and in an expeditious manner. In order to effectively cure the breach, as the alternative to other dispute resolution options set forth in Section 17, Parties agree that liquidated damages in the amount of $100,000.00 (One Hundred Thousand US Dollars) shall be awarded to Benefit Barcode in addition to any injunctive relief available under Section 17 hereof. The bercode issuer shall have the obligation to pay the aforementioned amount of liquidated damages to Benefit Barcode within ten business days from the receipt of Benefit Barcode’s notice regarding the breach, being sent via e-mail and dispatched on the same day as the e-mail via an overnight courier service. Parties acknowledge and agree that the aforementioned sum payable under this Section 4 shall constitute liquidated damages and not penalties, and are in addition to all other rights of the Parties available to them under the dispute resolution options set forth in Section 17.
4.6. The charges of using Classic, Extra or Business bercode varies and depends on the quantity and the validity of bercodes issued by the bercode issuer.

The Platform enables Users to order a customized Product.
Customized Products can be ordered in two ways:

The Issuer has the option to create dedicated events and upload them into the Platform, while the User has the option to design and order customized cards linked to such events.
Such a dedicated event can be, e.g., a meet-and-greet with a celebrity, where the fans have the opportunity to take a selfie with the fave. The Platform provides an opportunity to do this and the photo can be immediately placed on a card or key fob, which can also be seen through the Bercode mobile application.
The Issuer will have specified the key details of the dedicated event on its issuer’s administration interface (location, time) and the bercode levels, card types and validity ranges that the User can select when placing an order for a specific product.
• Through the Bercode Webshop
Customized cards and key fobs can also be ordered via the Bercode Webshop. When customizing the card, the bercode level and the validity can be selected together with the name to be placed on the card. Using the Bercode Webshop graphic design software, the Buyer can zoom in, rotate and mirror the photo they uploaded.
In all cases, the photo uploaded by the Buyer is printed on the back of the card. The uploaded customized cards will be judged by the Issuer depending on the settings of the Issuer. An order for a customized card can only be finalized if it has been approved by the Issuer through the Platform.
The User can finalize the order for the customized card they uploaded and which was approved by the Issuer following the approval. The Platform sends a notice to the Buyer concerning approval by the Issuer.
3.2. Placing an order for non-customized Products
3.2.1.

The Buyer can view the chosen products by clicking on the “Shopping Cart” icon. The content of the shopping cart can, of course, be modified. If the Buyer wishes to add additional products to the Shopping Cart, they should choose the “Back” button. If they do not wish to buy any more products, they should check the quantity of the products they intend to buy. The contents of the shopping cart can be deleted by clicking on the “Delete ‒ X” button. The contents of the basket will be automatically updated after the quantity is finalized. Alternatively, the User can click on the “Refresh” button. When the Buyers have finished collecting the products, they enter their data and can register or modify such data entered during their registration and then enter the method of delivery and payment, and finally enter the delivery data, which is followed by the verification of the data entered. The Buyer can also send comments to Benefit Barcode Inc. in the order. When placing an order, the Buyer accepts the ToU and the Privacy Policy each time. The Buyers can order the Products they have selected by clicking the “Order” button. The system automatically displays the order number, which can be used to identify the offer.
3.2.2. Cascading technical steps necessary to conclude the sale and purchase contract are automatically offered by the system to the Buyer. The Buyer can interrupt the process at any time until the order is sent. Before placing the order, the Buyer has the option to check the data they entered and correct any data input errors.

If the confirmation is not received by the Buyer within an expectable time depending on the nature of the service not exceeding 48 hours from sending the User’s order, the Buyer shall be released from their commitment to maintain the offer or their contractual obligation. The order and the confirmation thereof is considered received by Benefit Barcode Inc. and the Buyer, respectively, when it becomes accessible for them. Benefit Barcode Inc. excludes liability for the confirmation if the confirmation is not received on time because the Buyer has entered incorrect or false information during the registration or they are unable to receive notices because the storage space provided to the Buyer in the Platform is full.
3.2.6. Before sending the order, the Buyer can obtain information about the essential data of the Issuer of the Product and the services provided by the Issuer, as well as the discounts available with the Product by clicking on the image of the Product.

3.6.1. Benefit Barcode Inc. delivers the physical product(s) (e.g. card, sticker, key fob) ordered by the Buyer through the Bercode Webshop to the Buyer through its logistics partners. Digital Products (e.g. bercodes) are delivered by the Provider to the Buyer online through the Platform.
3.6.2. When placing an order for physical Products, the Buyer must select the delivery mode and, if a pick-up point is selected, choose the pick-up point where they wish to receive the delivery, or, in the case of home delivery, enter the accurate delivery address. Benefit Barcode Inc. starts delivery within 8 working days from the date the full purchase price of the Product(s) is credited on its bank account, except where the order can be fulfilled by producing the raw material. Since Benefit Barcode Inc. does not operate any commercial premises or shops, it is not possible to pick up the goods and products ordered personally.
3.6.3. Benefit Barcode Inc. does not accept any responsibility for any delay or failure of delivery caused by the inaccuracy or error of the delivery data provided by the Buyer when placing the order.
3.6.4. The cost of delivery is shown as a separate item on the invoice sent electronically to the Buyer.
3.6.5. The cost of delivery depends on the pricing of our logistics partner chosen by the Buyer.
3.6.6. The Buyer can add requests concerning the fulfillment of the order in the “Remarks concerning the order” box of the order form, which Benefit Barcode Inc. tries to take into account as much as possible. By default, our logistics partners are unable to undertake delivery at a defined point in time (hour). On the expected delivery date, the Buyer is obliged to allow the deliveryman to deliver the ordered products. Delivery normally takes place between 8.00 am and 17.00 am on weekdays.
3.6.7. Where products are ordered, the Buyer must carry out an itemized inspection of the shipment in the presence of the carrier at the time of the delivery. In the event of any problems, the Buyer may request that minutes be drawn up, refuse to accept the shipment or must immediately notify Benefit Barcode Inc. Following receipt, we cannot accept any complaint claiming damage or that anything is missing in the absence of the minutes.
3.7. Right of Withdrawal
3.7.1. Withdrawal without cause
Pursuant to Government Decree the Buyer shall have the right to withdraw within 14 (fourteen) days of the receipt of the Product or voucher.
The Buyer may not exercise the right of withdrawal:
- in the case of non-prefabricated goods produced based on the instruction or at the express request of the consumer, or of products clearly tailored to the consumer’s person;
- in the case of digital data content stored on non-tangible media, if the company started the performance of the contract at the consumer's express prior consent and the consumer simultaneously declared that they understand that they lose their right of withdrawal under Section 20 after the performance has started.
Owing to the above, the Provider informs the Buyer that the bercode is a “customized digital data content provided on non-tangible media” sold through the Bercode Webshop, which is created expressly at the Buyer’s order, and the bercode carriers are in all cases tailor-made and manufactured at the Buyer’s request in such a way that they are dedicated or contain the serial number and validity period of the bercode carrier. If carrying a name, the bercode carrier may only be used by the holder of the name shown and within the validity period indicated on it. In view of this fact, the Buyer may not withdraw from the sale and purchase contract without justification.
3.7.2. Withdrawal or cancellation for a breach of contract
3.7.2.1. If, as a result of a breach of contract, the claimant’s interest in the performance of the contract has ceased, they may withdraw from the contract until the performance thereof, i.e. the manufacturing of the Product starts, or cancel the contract after the manufacture of the Product has started. To make their declaration valid, the claimant must state the reason for the withdrawal or cancellation if they can exercise this right for multiple reasons. The claimant may switch from the indicated reason of withdrawal or cancellation to another.
3.7.2.2. Each Party should send their declaration containing the withdrawal or cancellation to the other Party with a notice through the Platform, which the other Party must confirm within 3 days of the receipt of the notice. If the other Party fails to confirm the receipt of the declaration containing the withdrawal or cancellation within 3 days of the receipt thereof, the notice shall be considered received on the 10th (tenth) day of the date of sending.
3.7.2.3. If the Buyer withdraws from the contract on grounds of a breach of contract by Benefit Barcode Inc., the Parties shall settle accounts within 30 days of the receipt of the declaration on the Buyer’s withdrawal or cancellation.
3.7.2.4. If Benefit Barcode Inc. withdraws from the contract on grounds of a breach by the Buyer, the Parties shall settle accounts within 30 days of the receipt by the Buyer of the declaration on the withdrawal or cancellation.
3.7.2.5. The Provider undertakes a warranty for defective performance.
Based on their warranty claim, the Buyer has the option
- to demand repair or replacement, unless compliance with the chosen warranty right is impossible or if it would result in disproportionate expenses on the part of the Benefit Barcode Inc. compared to the alternative remedy, taking into account that the value the service would have had if there had been no lack of conformity, the significance of the non-performance, and the harm caused to the obligee upon compliance with the warranty right; or
- to ask for a commensurate reduction in the consideration or withdraw from the contract if the obligor refuses to provide repair or replacement or is unable to fulfill that obligation or if repair or replacement no longer serves the obligee’s interest.
Withdrawal due to insignificant errors is not permitted.
3.7.2.6. The warranty of Benefit Barcode Inc. does not apply if the User’s name, which was incorrectly or wrongly specified by the Buyer, appears on the card and Benefit Barcode Inc. cannot be held responsible if the name specified by the Buyer for being placed on the card infringes rights relating to personality or other rights.
3.7.2.7. In the case of withdrawal by the Buyer, Benefit Barcode Inc. will not refund to the Buyer the cost of delivering the Product to the Buyer. All costs associated with returning the goods are borne by the Buyer. Benefit Barcode Inc. does not accept cash-on-delivery shipments.
3.7.2.8. In exercising the right of withdrawal or cancellation, the Buyer must act in good faith and exercise the right of withdrawal or cancellation as intended and the exercising of such rights shall not lead to any abuse of right by the Buyer.
3.8. Customer service, complaint handling
3.8.1. Buyers can submit complaints relating to their purchases through the Bercode Webshop with a notice sent to Benefit Barcode Inc. through the Platform.
3.8.2. Benefit Barcode Inc. will examine the complaint within 15 days and remedy it if possible.

3.3. If the balance of the Priority Merchant is less than the amount of the acquisition commission to be deducted and our Partner has provided their bank card details under Clause 1.4 of this Appendix 5, then Benefit Barcode Inc. will attempt to deduct the necessary amount and top up the balance to the necessary level once a day.
3.4. If the balance of the Priority Merchant cannot be topped up in the manner detailed in Clause 3.3, Benefit Barcode Inc. will send a notice through the Platform on the obligation to top up the balance to a minimum of zero as the sum.

The data subject shall have the right to receive the personal data concerning him / her made available to the Data Controller in a structured, widely used, machine - readable format and to transfer such data to another data controller without being hindered by the data controller; data management based on consent; and data management is automated. In exercising the right to data portability, the data subject shall have the right, if technically feasible, to request the direct transfer of personal data between data controllers. The exercise of this right shall not prejudice the right of cancellation.

The exercise of the right must not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others. [Right to data portability]
6.

[Right to object]
7. The consent of the data subjects to the processing of the data may be revoked at any time without justification. Withdrawal of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of the data processing prior to withdrawal. However, some data cannot be deleted for mandatory data management.

Exercise of the rights of the data subject in the event of the death of the data subject
In the event of an unexpected death, the data subject's rights in his or her life shall be exercised within five years of his or her death by a person authorized by the data subject by an administrative order or a public document or a private document of full probative value. If the data subject does not make a legal declaration in accordance with the above during his/her lifetime, his/her close relative according to the Civil Code is entitled to enforce his/her right to rectification or protest against the data processing, and - if the data processing was illegal or the purpose of the data processing has ceased with the death of the data subject - his/her close relative is entitled to exercise the right to delete the data or to restrict the data processing within five years after the death of the data subject. The right to exercise the rights of the data subject under this paragraph shall be granted to the close relative who first exercises that right. In the event of the death of the data subject, the person exercising the rights of the data subject shall certify the fact and time of the data subject's death with a death certificate or court decision and his/her identity and, in the case of the previous paragraph, his/her close relatives.

The data subject may be obliged to reimburse the costs related to the exercise of his/her rights only if the Data Controller has informed the data subject in writing after receiving his/her request about the circumstance that his/her request is excessive and at the same time informed the amount of the administrative cost, but the person concerned maintained his/her claim in writing despite all these circumstances. The data controller shall not start administration on the subject until the clear written feedback of the data subject.
The person liable for the costs shall pay the costs within 8 days of receipt of the request for payment issued by the controller.

Data transfer agreement
DATA TRANSFER AGREEMENT
General terms and conditions
According to Commission Decision of 27 December 2004 amending Decision 2001/497/EC as regards the introduction of an alternative set of standard contractual clauses for the transfer of personal data to third countries.
The following terms and conditions apply to contractual partners as data exporters of Benefit Barcode, Inc. (headquarters: 8 The Green, Ste B, Dover, Delaware 19901 USA; company registration number: 6045923, represented by: László Jáger) under the territorial scope of GDPR as well as to Benefit Barcode, Inc. as data importer who applies these terms and conditions as binding to itself.
I. Definitions
For the purposes of these clauses:
(a) “personal data”, “special categories of personal data”, “data process/processing”, “data controller”, “data processor”, “data subject” and “supervisory authority/authority” shall have the same meaning as in Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, and repealing Directive 95/46/EC (General Data Protection Regulation; hereinafter: GDPR) (whereby “the authority” shall mean the competent data protection authority in the territory in which the data exporter is established);
(b) “the data exporter” shall mean the controller who transfers the personal data;
(c) “the data importer” shall mean the controller who agrees to receive from the data exporter personal data for further processing in accordance with the terms of these clauses and who is not subject to a third country’s system ensuring adequate protection;
(d) “clauses” shall mean these contractual clauses, which are a free-standing document that does not incorporate commercial business terms established by the parties under separate commercial arrangements.
The details of the transfer (as well as the personal data covered) are specified in Annex A, which forms an integral part of the clauses.
II. Obligations of the data exporter
The data exporter warrants and undertakes that:
(a) The personal data have been collected, processed and transferred in accordance with the laws applicable to the data exporter.
(b) It has used reasonable efforts to determine that the data importer is able to satisfy its legal obligations under these clauses.
(c) It will provide the data importer, when so requested, with copies of relevant data protection laws or references to them (where relevant, and not including legal advice) of the country in which the data exporter is established. In this regard, data importer declares that the provisions of the GDPR and the provisions of Act CXII of 2011 on the right to information self-determination and freedom of information and the provisions of Act CVIII of 2001 on certain issues of electronic commerce services and information society services are known to the data importer.
(d) It will respond to enquiries from data subjects and the authority concerning processing of the personal data by the data importer to the extent reasonably possible and with the information reasonably available to it if the data importer is unwilling or unable to respond. Responses will be made within a reasonable and legally set time.
(e) It will make available, upon request, a copy of the clauses to data subjects who are third party beneficiaries under clause IV. The data exporter shall also provide a copy of the clauses to the authority where required.
III. Obligations of the data importer
The data importer warrants and undertakes that:
(a) It will have in place appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect the personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction or accidental loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure or access, and which provide a level of security appropriate to the risk represented by the processing and the nature of the data to be protected.
(b) It will have in place procedures so that any third party it authorizes to have access to the personal data, including processors, will respect and maintain the confidentiality and security of the personal data. Any person acting under the authority of the data importer, including a data processor, shall be obligated to process the personal data only on instructions from the data importer. This provision does not apply to persons authorized or required by law or regulation to have access to the personal data.
(c) It has no reason to believe, at the time of entering into these clauses, in the existence of any local laws that would have a substantial adverse effect on the guarantees provided for under these clauses, and it will inform the data exporter if it becomes aware of any such laws.
(d) It will process the personal data for purposes described in Annex A, and has the legal authority to give the warranties and fulfill the undertakings set out in these clauses.
(e) It will identify to the data exporter a contact point within its organization authorized to respond to enquiries concerning processing of the personal data, and will cooperate in good faith with the data exporter, the data subject and the authority concerning all such enquiries within a reasonable time. In case of legal dissolution of the data exporter, or if the parties have so agreed, the data importer will assume responsibility for compliance with the provisions of clause II(e).
(f) At the request of the data exporter, it will provide the data exporter (for example: declaration of representative) with evidence of financial resources sufficient to fulfill its responsibilities under clause IV (which may include insurance coverage).
(g) Upon reasonable request of the data exporter, it will submit its data processing facilities, data files and documentation needed for processing to reviewing, auditing and/or certifying by the data exporter (or any independent or impartial inspection agents or auditors, selected by the data exporter and not reasonably objected to by the data importer) to ascertain compliance with the warranties and undertakings in these clauses, with reasonable notice and during regular business hours. The request will be subject to any necessary consent or approval from a regulatory or supervisory authority within the country of the data importer, which consent or approval the data importer will attempt to obtain in a timely fashion.
(h) It will process the personal data, in accordance - with regard to the regulations of the GDPR – with the regulations of the country where the data exporter has its registered seat.
(i) It will not disclose or transfer the personal data to a third party data controller located outside the European Economic Area (EEA) unless it notifies the data exporter about the transfer and
(1) the third party data controller processes the personal data in accordance with a Commission decision finding that a third country provides adequate protection, or
(2) the third party data controller becomes a signatory to these clauses or another data transfer agreement approved by a competent authority in the EU, or
(3) data subjects have been given the opportunity to object, after having been informed of the purposes of the transfer, the categories of recipients and the fact that the countries to which data is exported may have different data protection standards, or
(4) with regard to onward transfers of sensitive data, data subjects have given their unambiguous consent to the onward transfer
IV. Liability and third party rights
(a) Each party shall be liable to the other parties for damages it causes by any breach of these clauses. Liability as between the parties is limited to actual damage suffered. Punitive damages (i.e. damages intended to punish a party for its outrageous conduct) are specifically excluded. Each party shall be liable to data subjects for damages it causes by any breach of third party rights under these clauses. This does not affect the liability of the data exporter under its data protection law.
(b) The parties agree that a data subject shall have the right to enforce as a third party beneficiary this clause and clauses II(b), II(d), II(e), III(a), III(c), III(d), III(e), III(h), III(i), IV(a), VI, VII(d) and VIII against the data importer or the data exporter, for their respective breach of their contractual obligations, with regard to his personal data, and accept jurisdiction for this purpose in the data exporter’s country of establishment. In cases involving allegations of breach by the data importer, the data subject must first request the data exporter to take appropriate action to enforce his rights against the data importer; if the data exporter does not take such action within a reasonable period (which considered to be maximum one month), the data subject may then enforce his rights against the data importer directly. A data subject is entitled to proceed directly against a data exporter that has failed to use reasonable efforts to determine that the data importer is able to satisfy its legal obligations under these clauses (the data exporter shall have the burden to prove that it took reasonable efforts).
V. Law applicable to the clauses
These clauses shall be governed by the law of the country in which the data exporter is established. Each party shall perform its obligations under these clauses at its own cost.
VI. Resolution of disputes with data subjects or the authority
(a) In the event of a dispute or claim brought by a data subject or the authority concerning the processing of the personal data against either or both of the parties, the parties will inform each other about any such disputes or claims, and will cooperate with a view to settling them amicably in a timely fashion.
(b) The parties agree to respond to any generally available non-binding mediation procedure initiated by a data subject or by the authority. If they do participate in the proceedings, the parties may elect to do so remotely (such as by telephone or other electronic means). The parties also agree to consider participating in any other arbitration, mediation or other dispute resolution proceedings developed for data protection disputes.
(c) Each party shall abide by a decision of a competent court of the data exporter’s country of establishment or of the authority which is final and against which no further appeal is possible.
VII. Termination
(a) In the event that the data importer is in breach of its obligations under these clauses, then the data exporter may temporarily suspend the transfer of personal data to the data importer until the breach is repaired or the contract is terminated.
(b) In the event that:
(i) the transfer of personal data to the data importer has been temporarily suspended by the data exporter for longer than one month pursuant to paragraph (a);
(ii) compliance by the data importer with these clauses would put it in breach of its legal or regulatory obligations in the country of import;
(iii) the data importer is in substantial or persistent breach of any warranties or undertakings given by it under these clauses;
(iv) a final decision against which no further appeal is possible of a competent court of the data exporter’s country of establishment or of the authority rules that there has been a breach of the clauses by the data importer or the data exporter; or
(v) a petition is presented for the administration or winding up of the data importer, whether in its personal or business capacity, which petition is not dismissed within the applicable period for such dismissal under applicable law; a winding up order is made; a receiver is appointed over any of its assets; a company voluntary arrangement is commenced by it; or any equivalent event in any jurisdiction occurs
then the data exporter, without prejudice to any other rights which it may have against the data importer, shall be entitled to terminate these clauses. In cases covered by (i), (ii), or (iv) above the data importer may also terminate these clauses.
(c) Either party may terminate these clauses if any Commission positive adequacy decision under Article 45(1) of GDPR is issued in relation to the country (or a sector thereof) to which the data is transferred and processed by the data importer.
(d) The parties agree that the termination of these clauses at any time, in any circumstances and for whatever reason (except for termination under clause VII(c)) does not exempt them from the obligations and/or conditions under the clauses as regards the processing of the personal data transferred.
In the event of termination of these clauses, the data importer must return all personal data and all copies of the personal data subject to these clauses to the data exporter forthwith or, at the data exporter’s choice, will destroy all copies of the same and certify to the data exporter that it has done so, unless the data importer is prevented by its national law or local regulator from destroying or returning all or part of such data, in which event the data will be kept confidential and will not be actively processed for any purpose. The data importer agrees that, if so requested by the data exporter, it will allow the data exporter, or an inspection agent selected by the data exporter and not reasonably objected to by the data importer, access to its establishment to verify that this has been done, with reasonable notice and during business hours.
VIII. Variation of these clauses
The parties may not modify these clauses except to update any information in Annex A. This does not preclude the parties from adding additional commercial clauses where required.
IX. Description of the Transfer
The details of the transfer and of the personal data are specified in Annex A. The parties agree that Annex A may contain confidential business information which they will not disclose to third parties, except as required by law or in response to a competent regulatory or government agency, or as required under clause II(e).
