2.2  If you are using the BeLazy business management system APIs to create incoming projects received in BeLazy in your proprietary business management system, besides querying the system, you are required to implement a call to indicate that the creation of projects in your system has been successful. If you fail to indicate success for the majority of these projects, we will restrict your use of BeLazy and contact you. We may also require you to share the relevant part from your software code.

3.   Our Content    

3.1  Unless otherwise indicated, the Site and Services including source code, functionality, software, website designs, audio, video, text, photographs, and graphics on the Site (Our Content) are owned or licenced to us, and are protected by copyright.

3.2  Except as expressly provided in these Terms and Conditions, no part of the Site, Services or Our Content may be copied, reproduced, aggregated, republished, uploaded, posted, publicly displayed, encoded, translated, transmitted, distributed, sold, licenced, or otherwise exploited for any commercial purpose whatsoever, without our express prior written permission.

3.4  You shall not try to gain unauthorised access to the Site or any networks, servers or computer systems connected to the Site.

3.5  We reserve the right at our sole discretion, to (1) monitor the Site for breaches of these Terms and Conditions; (2) take appropriate legal action against anyone in breach of applicable laws or these Terms and Conditions; (3) remove from the Site or otherwise disable all files and content that are excessive in size or are in any way a burden to our systems; and (4) otherwise manage the Site in a manner designed to protect our rights and property and to facilitate the proper functioning of the Site and Services.  

3.6  We do not guarantee that the Site will be secure or free from software defects or viruses.

We also reserve the right to modify or discontinue all or part of the Services without notice at any time.

4. The Data Flow and your Security

4.1  You may only log in to the site using an OAUTH2 authorization account, notably Microsoft and Google account. This means that in order to use the site, you need to have a registered account with these providers. When you log in, you authorize the Site to use the personal data that is presented to you at login time, which includes your name, email address and phone number.

4.2  We do not store a password for you to the Site. As a result, there is no possibility for stealing your password from the Site. Please ensure maximum security in your Google or Microsoft account with phone-based authentication or other two-factor authentication.

4.3  On the Site, you set up connections to the systems of your customers and your own systems. To set up this connection, you need to specify, among other things, the URL of the system, your user name, your password, and your API access token. We do store this information in our database which is hosted in Microsoft Azure, and the passwords are protected by the Microsoft Azure Key Vault. On your profile, you can specify whether you allow us to use this information for error handling. Only three people are able to decrypt such information in the BeLazy organization, and all access to such decryption is logged in a way that cannot be altered. You can always request us to give you proof when your passwords have been accessed, but we reserve the right to charge you for the time it takes. We will never use your password if you don’t give us permission on your profile.

4.4 The site also offers integration with email providers. You explicitly have to register your Microsoft account using your Microsoft login, and then allow us to store and parse your emails if you want to use the Email Assistant. At any time you can stop BeLazy from monitoring the email account. By using the Email Assistant, you explicitly allow BeLazy to store your incoming emails that arrive to the supported address after enabling the Email Assistant. You can stop the email storage at any point in time from the user interface.  

4.5 The Site stores information about the projects that go through it as it manages data flow between your connections. These project records are retained for a period of eight years. Project files are stored temporarily for up to 8 days and are only used to move them between two sites and to manipulate them according to the user’s configuration. We will not sell, transfer or distribute identifiable project information to anyone. We reserve the right to use aggregated information to prioritize our developments, to analyze how the translation and localization industry works, to establish technology gaps and develop new services, and to any other valid reason to improve our business in a way that does not damage your business.

4.6   The Site also stores information about the decisions you make in project management through configuring your connection and resolving red flags. We also reserve the right to use aggregated information to improve our offering and to communicate with our partners (for example in the case of service outage).

4.7  We understand how important the security of your data is to your business. Therefore we do everything to ensure that no data loss or data leakage is possible, from the software design phase through hosting and maintenance and support. We are ISO 27001 certified which is an established information security standard.

4.8  If we become aware of a security incident related to our systems or databases that contain personal information of you or your contacts, we’ll notify you if required by law. In that event, we’ll also provide you with information about that incident so that you can evaluate the consequences to you and any legal or regulatory requirements that may apply to you, unless we’re prevented from doing so by legal, security or confidentiality obligations. Notifying you of a security incident or cooperating with you to respond to one will not be deemed an acknowledgement or assumption of any liability or fault for such incident.

4.8  Although we make reasonable efforts to update the information on our site and keep the integrations all working well, we make no representations, warranties or guarantees, whether express or implied, that the Content on the Site is accurate, complete or up to date.

5. Service Levels

5.1  By using the Site you acknowledge that the Site operates a middleware service. The middleware service offers you the infrastructure that allows multiple connections and integrations with systems of other companies.

5.2   The systems of other companies are operated by these other companies, and we cannot reasonably warrant any availability for these. We make reasonable efforts to notify them of the outages of their service, and support them in getting their software back operational, and we are trying our best to conclude contracts that bind them to certain service levels and penalize excessive outage. However, we do have unguaranteed partnerships as well. You agree that in the case a system is unavailable to the Site, you will continue working with it in a manual way, as you did before using the Site.

5.3   We make reasonable efforts to operate the integrations with these other systems, however, in certain situations we may experience a sudden change of version that render our integrations useless. We make reasonable efforts to keep a relationship with the owners of the other systems and in our contract stipulate times for indicating on time that the change is coming. However, we find that even with contracts in place, some changes may happen unannounced. We continuously monitor broken integrations and immediately prioritize fixing these, but we cannot guarantee how long it takes to fix them. You agree that in the case an integration ceases to work on the Site, you will continue working with it in a manual way, as you did before using the Site. You will immediately see when the system is back operational either by seeing projects appear, or by seeing projects created in your system.

5.4   While we monitor the health of all connections, you are entitled to send us via email a support request if a service is not available to support@belazy.cat. If you do this, please also ensure that your profile allows us to use your credentials for testing. In the case of a system outage, we start working on fixing it within one business day.

5.5   We guarantee a 95% uptime for the Site, but aim for a 100% uptime. The upgrade procedures that we carry out function without stopping the operation of the Site.

5.6   You will only be charged after transactions that are entirely successful. A successful transaction is a transaction where the data from the source system is converted using the configuration that you specified in the configuration/onboarding and appears in your destination system. Please note that if the project is not configured in your target system completely according to your requirements, but is correctly created according to the rules that you have set up, the project is still successful. In case you expect further configuration options, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with support@belazy.cat and describe your workflow. While we are adding further functionality constantly that support your work beyond project creation, the success criteria of a transaction is always the project creation.

5.7   Given that we only charge you after successful projects, by using the Site you also acknowledge that you are not entitled to request any compensation for any downtime of the Site or a connection/integration on the site.
