5. ORDERS AND APPROVAL
Account Before starting to work and be able to place an Order, the User must register as a Customer and create an account with Pluglin. The Customer agrees to keep all account information up to date and accurate at all times. The Customer cannot create multiple Customer accounts for different jobs. Any personal information the Customer provides will be subject to the Company's privacy policy. Payment During the Creation of the Order, the Customer must proceed to pay for it. The Company will not begin to manage and fulfil the Order until it has received confirmation of payment by the Customer. All payments are non-refundable. Payment to the Company must be made with funds that are readily available, without any deduction or compensation, and free of any taxes, levies, duties, charges, fees, tariffs, and withholdings of any kind now or in the future, imposed by any government, tax authority, or any other authority. If the Customer is required to pay taxes or any other levies, the Customer shall pay the Company any additional amounts necessary to ensure that the Company receives the total amount it would have received. Order Once registered on the Platform, the Customer may initiate an Order, providing all necessary information through the Platform, including the level of quality of service and Customer Materials. Customer Materials The Customer is responsible for providing the Customer Materials for the service hired when placing the order. The Company may make recommendations on which basic materials and in which format these basic materials should be provided. The quality of the results will depend on the quality, accuracy, and completeness of the Customer's basic materials and the instructions provided. Cancelations The Customer may cancel any Order if the project has not yet been assigned to a Collaborator. To cancel an order, the Customer must contact the Company's customer support at hola@Pluglin.com to see if the Order may be cancelled. If the Order has been assigned to a collaborator, the Order cannot be cancelled, and a refund for the order amount cannot be requested. Completed Work The Company does not guarantee that a specific Collaborator may participate in the Customer Order. The Company will return the completed work to the Customer in accordance with the quality level established in the Order. The Company will estimate an expected deadline for completion of the service but cannot guarantee the exact delivery time. The Company will inform the Customer by e-mail when the completed work is ready for review. Approval or Rejection Upon notification of delivery of the Company's completed work, the Customer will have 120 hours to review the completed work. The Customer may approve the completed work through the Platform. If the Customer does not respond within the 120-hour review period, the completed work will be considered “Approved”. Alternatively, the Customer may reject the completed work within the 120-hour review period if they reasonably determine that it does not meet the quality level requested. Due to the nature of any service provided in different languages, or even within the same language, errors will inevitably occur in the services. If the Company determines that the completed work rejected by the Customer does not meet the quality level specified in the Order, then the Company will correct and resubmit the completed work within a reasonable period of time. The Company's liability shall be limited to correcting said errors. Waiver The Customer agrees to review any translated Work before making the content public, and the Customer expressly agrees that the Company shall have no responsibility or be liable for compensating the Customer for the completed work.

The Company is solely responsible for the payment and resolution of all disputes with subcontractors and Collaborators.
7. DISCLOSURE OF CUSTOMER MATERIALS

This commitment makes it possible for the Customers to also comply with part of the regulatory obligations. It is considered that Blarlo shall become the “processor” when it processes personal data on behalf of the data controller. This is true when the Customer uses the software and adds to it third-party personal data for which the Customer is the data controller. Blarlo shall only process the data added to the service according to the Customer’s instructions and on its behalf. As the data processor, Blarlo undertakes to carry out the following actions:

That is why Blarlo applies appropriate technical and organisational means to guarantee an adequate level of security against the risk including, among other things: (i) The ability to guarantee the confidentiality, integrity, availability and permanent resilience of the processing systems and services. (ii) The ability rapidly to restore the availability and access to the personal data in the event of a physical or technical incident. (iii) A process of regular verification, evaluation and assessment of the efficacy of the technical and organisational measures to guarantee the security of the processing.
In particular and without limitation, Blarlo states that:
  • The data are located within the servers hosted in the European Union and it strictly complies with data protection regulations.
  • All data is replicated in at least two geographical areas. If a catastrophe caused a data centre to disappear entirely, the data of which the Customer is the data controller would remain safe.
