1.4. Each Account creates a Team in the Platform (“Team”). The Platform serves unique spaces within a Τeam where Projects are housed (“Workspaces”). The versatility of Useberry allows Teams to create multiple Workspaces, each one potentially dedicated to a particular Project or aspect of a Study. Workspaces can either be public, allowing access to all Users invited as Team members, or private, limiting access to some Team members only.

1.5. You can choose Testers either from Your own database/ lists of users and/or a third party of our choice outside of the Platform (“Own Database”) or by a Testers’ database provided through Useberry’s third party contractors, companies, partners etc via the Platform (“Partners” or “Third Party Database”) under the terms and conditions further laid down below. A list of this/those Partner(s) would be available in the Platform.  When We refer to Testers in general in the text below, We mean any Tester from any Database.

a) Studies are created by the Clients, and/or the appointed Users, as laid down below in article 2, using the tools provided by the Platform, at the Client’s discretion and by setting his/her own criteria, attributes, characteristics and content. A collection of Studies is called “Project”.

1.10. Feedback and Results for each Study:

a) After accessing a Study by activating the respective link, Testers visit temporarily the Platform and are allocated via your browser with a Technical Session Identifier to allow us to set technical specification to be able to complete the Study. Also, a random Session Name is created in the Team that can be visible by the Client. In case that the Tester is from the Third Party Database, a random Partner ID is also visible by the Client (It is noted that the Platform does not collect eponymous data of the Testers, and only keeps those random identifiers for technical and procedural reasons for each participation, that is not linked nor connected with any database or other eponymous data). Client may opt to change the Session Name – that is visible in the Client Account (rename it) for each Tester at their discretion.
b) Testers can provide their responses and feedback at a Study under the criteria and the process specified by the Client for each Study(i.e. indicatively by providing only written feedback, and/or oral and/or video and/or session registration, and/or any other interaction at the Client’s discretion and/or the Tester’s consent if so requested by the Client). Also information is collected from events related to the participation of the Tester to the Study (such as indicatively from heatmaps, timespan analysis, conversion funnels, user flows and others) – overall all the above the “Feedback”). It is noted that Useberry uses APIs of FIGMA (3rd party provider please see its T&Cs here) in order to have Tester’s interaction data (clicks, interactions, transitions) with the design or prototype that the Client has entered in a Study. Having this data Useberry can provide the Feedack to the Client with graphs, heatmaps and statistics. Clients must take measures that the Feedback requested meets also the provisions set in the applicable laws as well as the provisions of Our Platform set in the present T&Cs. Access of the Testers to the Platform stops as soon as their participation in a Study ends.
c) The Platform is not a participant to the Studies; it only collects and hosts the Feedback as well as process part of this Feedback to provide to the Client with aggregated quantitave and/or statistic results (the “Results”) – it is noted that the Results do not include information exported/extracted from the Video or the oral recordings of the Tester.
d) All Testers’ Feedback is stored in the Platform as long as Clients use the Platform (unless the Clients requests their deletion prior to that period and/or not withstanding article 3.2. f) regarding the freezing period).

Client bears its own responsibility on how to use the Feedback and the Results, including but not limited to extract the appropriate information for its own business and needs, at its discretion. Platform is not providing any consulting services and used merely as a technical tool to extract Results based on the above parameters.

1.11. Billable Answers per Tester Feedback

a) Regarding Testers invited from Your Own Database:
As Billable Answer is considered the acceptance of a Tester to participate at a Study after connecting with the link received and accepting to start a Study. In case that a Client deletes a Testers Feedback this is deducted from the Billable Answers of the Client’s Subscription Plan.

3. Charges & Payments

3.1. Free trial: By choosing to open a Account You have the right to use the Platform for a free trial.

As soon as You opt for a Subscription Plan, the trial phase is over for Your Account.

3.2. Provisions Regarding Subscription Plans: The provision of the Services is subject to the purchase of a Subscription Plan. Subscription plans are the ones available to the Clients via the Platform at the time a Client opts to purchase a Plan. The following provisions apply to any Subscription Plan

a) A Subscription Plan provides a Client with the license to use (as further specified in article II 10.3 below) those tools of the Platform that are allocated to each Plan, for a specific period and under specific conditions, that deviate depending the Plan. Those conditions are set specifically in each Plan such as: the number of Billable Answers a Client can have per month/year, the number of Seats occupied as Users a Client’s Account/ Team, the number of Projects and/or other variables indicated by the Platform in each Subscription Plan from time to time (“Variables”);
b) The term of a Subscription Plan is either one month or one year.
A Subscription plan might terminate earlier if a Clients consumes all the Variable available for that Plan prior to the term of that Plan. In that case the Client must either wait for the automated renewal of the Subscription Plan (at the end of its term) or opt for an upgraded Subscription Plan. If the Client opts for an upgraded Subscription Plan, the new term shall be calculated based on the new subscription date.
c) The billing cycle in relation to a Subscription Plan is either monthly or annual (as chosen upon subscription to that Plan), starting on the day the Subscription Plan commences (“Subscription Date”) and ending at the termination of each Plan; payment for the Subscription Plan is due the corresponding date of the following month or year of the Subscription Date, depending on whether the agreed Subscription plan is monthly or annual e.g a Client with a monthly subscription set to cycle on the 2nd of the month will always be billed on the 2nd. If a month doesn’t have the anchor day, the subscription will be billed on the last day of the month. For example, a subscription starting on January 31 bills on February 28 (or February 29 in a leap year), then March 31, April 30, and so on. The same applies to calculate the term of any Subscription Plan.
d) A Client can change the Subscription Plan at any time, even prior to its termination or consumption of its Variables; Every time the Client opts for another Subscription Plan the term and the billing cycle are calculated based on the new Subscription Date (new billing cycle is created). Note that You cannot revert to a free Plan. i) If a Client wishes to upgrade to another Subscription Plan (with more Variables) within the duration the term of another Subscription Plan, the amount paid for the previous Subscription Plan, that has not been already consumed by the previous Plan, will be set off with the amount for the new Subscription Plan (and Client will pay the remaining fee for the new upgraded Subscription Plan). ii) If a Client wishes to downgrade to another Subscription Plan (with less Variables) within the duration of the term of another Subscription Plan, the outstanding amount paid for the previous Subscription Plan, shall be kept to be set off with any future payment of the Client for any future Subscription Plan.
e) Subscription Plans are automatically renewed at the termination of their term for an equal term as the previous Plan, unless a Client or Useberry requests that a Plan is not renewed. Such a request (for non renewal) can be submitted via the Client Account (applying to the button Cancel my Plan) at any time during the term of a Plan and up to the last day; the Plan will be terminated at the end of its terms (without automated renewal).
In order to terminate the Subscription Plan immediately the Client must request it in specific via email to the Company.
Note that fees paid for a Subscription Plan are non-refundable (in whole or in part).
Only in case Client closes his/her Account he/she can submit a request within the latest 1 month from closure to receive money back if there is any money kept due to a Subscription Plan downgrade referred in par. d) ii) above (and that amount was not already set off with another payment of the Client)
f) In case that a Client opts not to renew a Subscription Plan, his/her Account is set to freezing status (“Freezing Period”). Client cannot access the information stored in the Client Account, nor use any of the Platform Services, nor spend any remaining Credits. Client can purchase again a new Subscription Plan at any time. In that case, his/her Account shall become active again and he/she can continue to have access to the information previously stored (We remind You in case an Account is set freezed, information is stored only for 2 years and then will be deleted automatically) and to all the Services and the remaining Credits. In case that the freezing status remains for more than 2 years, Useberry reserves the right to delete Your Account. In that case, all termination results laid down in II. 4.2 below shall apply.

You shall accept these documents when opening an Account in Our Platform and shall be deemed applicable as soon as You order us to process any personal data on Your behalf (either on the trial phase or at any other stage thereof and for as long as You have an Account in Our Platform).

b) It is clarified also that You act as Controller when you instruct the Platform to invite Testers from The Third -Party Database. Your relationship with the third party who is the owner of the Third -Party Database is Controller to Controller and You have an independent stand-alone relationship between you two, bearing both your own responsibility regarding the lawfulness of processing. We only act as your agent, merely in order to transfer Your instructions in order to invite Testers from the Third-Party Database (and not as a Processor).

c) We only act as Controllers in the following occasions:

i) of the personal data of the Users registering to open an Account in our Platform and/or to participate in Your Account depending on the roles You allocate to them.

i) You understand that the Tester’s personal data will be pseudonymized by our Platform (as laid down above in the present T&Cs). Here’s more information about the difference between anonymised and pseudonymised data . You shall not attempt to re-identify any Tester through the pseudonymised data nor combine it with any other data available to you, with the use of the Platform tools.
ii) Where You consider it is strictly necessary for your Study to collect any media materials such as audio, video or images (“Media Materials”) from Testers as an essential part of the Study, You should not use those Media Materials to seek to re-identify any Tester and should not combine that information with any other information which you hold in such as manner as to facilitate the re-identification of any Tester. In any case if You are conducting a Study which will involve the collection of any Media Materials You must ensure that you choose the appropriate legal basis, and that the Testers are made aware that this may impact upon their anonymity, so that Testers can make an informed decision as to whether they want to take part in your Study.
iii) You shall not in the context of any Study or otherwise request any direct identifiers from Testers. Whilst it may be possible to identify a Participant from Media Materials collected (if any) you should ensure that any such Media Materials do not include direct identifiers and that you take all reasonable steps to maintain the anonymity of the Tester as far as possible. For example, if you are collecting audio or video samples as part of your User Study you should ensure those audio and video samples do not include the individuals name, address or other direct identifiers.
iv) If and when you correspond directly with any Tester for any reason this can be done outside of the Platform, by using Your own means and tools at your discretion and responsibility. In any case we note that You do not receive any contact information or other identified personal data by the Third Party Database and that you are not allowed to attempt to directly contact any Tester.
v) You are responsible to determine the lawfulness of the processing of those data and to abide by all the applicable privacy rules at your jurisdiction, by using appropriately the tools and the functionalities provided in our Platform, as well as regarding the instructions you provide to us to act on your behalf.
