4. System Usage, Operation, and Development

4.1. It is at the discretion of the subscriber to determine how many words they monitor from the available maximum quantity.

4.2. Subscribers can delete, modify, or, if their subscription plan allows, change notification email addresses at any time. Subscribers can only specify email addresses that belong to their organization, and they cannot set up notifications for individuals who are not in an employment or other contractual relationship with the subscriber, or in an agency relationship. If there is any doubt about the nature of the relationship with the specified email address, the service provider may request verification from the subscriber if it is not unequivocally clear that the email address belongs to the subscriber. Subscribers cannot resell LegisNation services.

4.3. The service provider reserves the right to develop the LegisNation program. The service provider states that it strives to carry out development in a way that does not affect the service provided. If, due to development, the service is temporarily suspended, the service provider will inform subscribers in advance whenever possible, in which case the duration of the suspension will extend the subscription period. Subscribers cannot make any claims (fee reduction, compensation) against the service provider due to the suspension. If the suspension lasts for more than 30 consecutive days for any reason, subscribers may choose to terminate the contract. In this case, the service provider will refund a proportional subscription fee for the remaining subscription period, without paying any late payment interest, and subscribers cannot make any other claims against the service provider.

4.4. The service provider regularly maintains and updates its server in accordance with the latest security requirements, which may require restarting the server. A necessary and/or security maintenance of the LegisNation server within the same day is not considered a suspension.

4.5. Subscribers can view the text of the last 50 informative email messages sent to them and the date of sending within the last 15 days in their personal menu. For the subscriber's agreement, sending the messages is considered proper fulfillment of the contract.

4.6. LegisNation ensures monitoring of new publications, and its services are based on the European Union Official Journal, specifically eur-lex.europa.eu (search, monitoring, report generation). The service provider is not obliged to display the titles and other data of legal acts published more than 90 days ago.

6. Operation of LegisNation and Informative Emails

6.1. The subscriber acknowledges that the notifications sent by email through the LegisNation system are for informative purposes. The service provider accepts no responsibility for the accuracy of the information contained therein. Therefore, no claims can be made against the service provider based on the content of the email notifications or any actions taken as a result. The service provider sends the emails generated by the system but does not assume responsibility for their actual delivery to the subscriber's email address, considering that the service provider has no control over the subscriber's mail server and email client settings. The service provider has made all necessary technical settings to ensure that the emails sent by them are not classified as spam.

6.2. The subscriber acknowledges that the operation of the LegisNation program is dependent on the availability of external data sources (eur-lex.europa.eu). Therefore, if the program cannot access or process this website or the data stored therein (HTML and PDF), the LegisNation program cannot generate and send the informative emails. The service provider will attempt to process any documents that were not automatically processed by the program, in order to send notifications to the subscriber through the LegisNation program.

6.3. The subscriber acknowledges that the monitoring service is based on the automatic processing of large volumes of text. In the text to be processed (HTML, PDF), there may be character sequences (including line breaks and spaces) that may interfere with the monitored word or phrase, causing the program to not report a match for that word or phrase. Additionally, the text to be processed may contain character sequences that are readable to the human eye in their original form but appear as unrecognizable characters during text recognition (especially in the case of printed text that is subsequently read by OCR). In this case, the program cannot report a match for the word or phrase. The text to be processed may also contain text captured as images, formulas, which are not subject to the monitoring service. The text to be processed may include tables, the program may not process the text in the order visible in the table, so it may not report a match for a word or phrase in the program.

6.4. The service provider states that after processing the data from the Official Journal of the European Union, the program will send the informative email(s) to the subscriber based on the monitoring settings within a few working hours, but no later than 3 working days. The subscriber acknowledges that documents or records appearing in an unusual format or in large quantities that require manual intervention may take longer to process, and in such cases, the service provider will send the informative email(s) through the program within 5 working days.

6.5. If the subscriber does not receive the notification email as per point 6.4 within the specified time, and none of the cases described in point 6.3 apply, the service provider will compensate the subscriber with a free extension of the subscription period. In this case, the subscriber may not make any further claims against the service provider.

7. Data Handling, Data Protection

7.1. Based on the subscription, the parties treat the data exchanged between them, including personal, company, and organizational data, as confidential business secrets. These data may only be disclosed to a third party if the other party has given prior written consent or if the disclosure of data is required by law or a court order.

7.2. The parties handle personal data, which they become aware of in connection with the performance of the subscription agreement, in accordance with the provisions of Act CXII of 2011 on the Right of Informational Self-Determination and on Freedom of Information, as well as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

7.3. The service provider handles the following data: the data provided by the subscriber when subscribing, as well as the data related to the services described in points 1.2 and 2. The purpose of this is to enable the service provider to fulfill the contract. The service provider can also view the text of the emails sent from their system to the subscriber.

7.4. The data processing by the service provider extends to the following periods: in the case of a free trial month, the provided data by the user will be stored for 5 years for the purpose of verifying eligibility for the free trial month. In the case of a subscription, the data will be processed for the duration of the subscription, and thereafter, it will be irreversibly deleted.

7.5. The service provider uses the Google Analytics program to measure the statistics of the website. The service provider uses Google Analytics's own cookies and cookies necessary for language settings.

8. Other Provisions and Termination of the Contract

8.1. In case of any disputes related to the subscription agreement, the parties will make efforts to resolve them out of court.

8.2. In the event of a legal dispute arising from the subscription agreement, the parties agree to apply Hungarian law and grant exclusive jurisdiction to the Central District Court of Buda.

8.3. Regarding the fulfillment of the subscription agreement, the parties accept declarations as legally valid if sent from the email address specified in point 3.5 and from the email address provided by the subscriber during registration (or subsequently modified).

8.4. The service provider is obliged to provide the LegisNation service throughout the entire subscription period. An exception is made if the service is affected by technical circumstances or force majeure events that render it impossible for a period longer than 30 days. In this case, the service provider will refund the subscriber a prorated subscription fee for the remaining subscription period, and the subscriber may not make any further claims against the service provider.

8.6. The extent to which the subscriber uses the LegisNation service during the subscription period is based on the subscriber's free choice. If the subscriber chooses not to use the service, they may not claim a refund of the subscription fee (or its prorated portion) under any circumstances.
