Terms of Use


Last updated: July 10, 2023

1. Introduction

Welcome to the terms of use ("Terms of Use") for the priora demo (“Priora Demo”), a software developed by Salt Edge Inc. for testing purposes and offered to you (“You”, “Your”, “Your’s”). These Terms of Use are entered into by and between You and Salt Edge Inc. ("Salt Edge," "we," "our," or "us") and govern Your access to and use of the Priora Demo. The functionality of this software includes a simulated Third-Party Provider (“TPP”) with a self-signed certificate and a simulated customer provided by Salt Edge. In order to utilize the Priora Demo, You are required to create an account to simulate the actions of a customer (“Priora Demo Account”).

Please note that Priora Demo is provided free of charge without any liability on part of Salt Edge for Your use. It is crucial to acknowledge that Priora Demo may contain errors, and You are advised strongly against using personal data and encouraged to utilize the Priora Demo at Your own risk. While these incidents are rare, it is important to acknowledge that they may occur so that You may use caution in using it. Furthermore, it is important to clarify that this functionality is expressly excluded from the "Services" definition as outlined in any agreement that may have (or will have) entered into with Salt Edge. It is provided as a courtesy to You without any payment requirement.

By using the Priora Demo, You agree to comply with these Terms of Use. It is recommended that You read and understand these terms thoroughly before proceeding. If You have any questions or concerns, please reach out to our support team for further assistance.


2. Your Acceptance of these Terms of Use

If You are a new user of Priora Demo, by clicking to accept or agree to the Terms of Use, You accept and agree to be bound and abide by these Terms of Use. If You do not want to agree to these Terms of Use, You must not access or use the Priora Demo. If You have an account in Priora Demo before the date of the first publishing of these Terms of Use, You will receive an email at the date of publishing containing these Terms of Use. If You disagree with these Terms of Use, you must contact us at compliance@saltedge.com within 30 days requesting us to delete Your account. By continuing using the Priora Demo after an elapse of 30 days from the first date of publishing of these Terms of Use, You accept and agree to be bound and abide by these Terms of Use.


3. Updates to the Terms of Use

We may revise and update these Terms of Use from time to time in our sole discretion. If we decide to change this Terms of Use, we will post an appropriate notice on the Priora Demo website. The changes to this Terms of Use will not apply retroactively and will take effect upon the expiry of fifteen (15) days from being posted, except that changes addressing new functions of the Priora Demo and changes made for legal reasons shall become effective immediately upon being posted. The date of the last update of this Terms of Use is set out at the top of this page.

Continuing to use the Priora Demo following the posting of revised Terms of Use means that You accept and agree to the changes.


4. Your Responsibilities

In order to access the testing functionality of Priora Demo, You must be an account servicing payment service provider (“ASPSP”) who has entered into a certain compliance service agreement (“Agreement”) with Salt Edge and wishes to access another tool for testing of Salt Edge’s services (“Services”) than that already provided as part of the Agreement.

Priora Demo incorporates a simulated TPP with a self-signed certificate, and a simulated end user (“Fake End User”) who holds a simulated account for executing payment transactions held in the End User’s name by the ASPSP using the Priora Demo.

You are strongly advised against using real end users (“Real End Users”) who hold a real account for executing payment transactions held in the Real End User’s name by the ASPSP using the Priora Demo. If you decide on using Real End Users and their personal data (as defined in the jurisdiction of Real End User, “Real End User Personal Data”) in Priora Demo, You must send a formal request (email to suffice) to Salt Edge indicating the name of the Real End User and period of time for testing with Real End Users, and at all times You acknowledge that (i) use of Priora Demo with Real End Users is at your own responsibility and risk, (ii) Section 10 will apply in relation to protection of Real End User Personal Data, and (iii) agree to keep Salt Edge indemnified for any liabilities arising under Your use of Real End Users in testing via the Priora Demo as set out in Section 14.

You are required to ensure that all persons who access and use the Priora Demo are aware of this Terms of Use and comply with it. It is a condition of Your use of the Priora Demo that all the information You provide on the Priora Demo is correct, current, and complete.

You are solely responsible for all activities and actions carried out by You or any authorized staff or representatives using your credentials. Any such activities and actions of any of Your authorized staff or representatives shall be deemed performed by You. You understand and acknowledge that, insofar as you use the Priora Demo the safety of your credentials may affect the security of your Real End User’s Payment Accounts. If you suspect that an unauthorized access to the Priora Demo has occurred or that your credentials have been stolen, compromised or became known to others, you must change them immediately.

You must immediately notify Salt Edge at compliance@saltedge.com , if you suspect or become aware of an instance of unauthorized access to the Priora Demo or of any loss, theft or unauthorized use or disclosure of your credentials.

YOU ARE SOLELY AND ENTIRELY RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR USE OF THE PRIORA DEMO AND YOUR COMPUTER, INTERNET AND DATA SECURITY.

Principles of Real End User Personal Data Processing:

In providing the Priora Demo Salt Edge shall process any Real End User Personal Data in accordance with this Terms of Use and any applicable data processing agreement (if executed between the Parties). Furthermore, Salt Edge shall adhere to the following general principles:

Salt Edge’s Use of Anonymized Aggregate Data:

Salt Edge shall have the right to generate anonymized data (“Anonymized Data”) derived from, or based on, Real End User Personal Data so that Real End Users are no longer, directly or indirectly, personally identifiable from such data, and combine or incorporate such Anonymized Data with or into other similar data or information acquired from other users or derived from other users’ use of Salt Edge’s products and/or services (“Anonymized Aggregate Data”).
