2.1 Subject matter of the contract

  1. Upon conclusion of the contract, Commitly grants the Client the non-exclusive and non-transferable authorisation, limited in time to the duration of the contract concluded by the Client with Commitly, to use the Commitly Platform, which the Client accesses via the website www.commitly.com.
  2. The authorisation granted to the Client under the Contract and the services provided by Commitly in accordance with the Contract are referred to as the "Service Package".

2.2 Service package

  1. Within the framework of an account information service, the user has the possibility to link existing bank accounts at German and Austrian financial institutions with Commitly and to prepare his finances according to the entrepreneurial requirements and to create plans for future payment flows on this basis.
  2. The User selects his account-holding bank from which the bank account is to be linked and then logs into his online banking. By registering online as a customer of Commitly and agreeing to these Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy, the User explicitly consents to the storage of the log-in data by the external service provider finAPI GmbH, based in Munich, in order to always be able to view the bank accounts connected with the help of the Commitly software. If the Customer does not agree to this storage, the account information service pursuant to 2.2.1 cannot be used.
  3. With the log-in, an encrypted and secure connection to the user's account-managing bank is established. This connection is made by providing an interface between the account-holding bank and Commitly by the external service provider. If the customer wants to connect several bank accounts, he repeats the described process.
  4. Commitly points out that the transaction history of the implemented bank accounts can only be displayed to the extent that the responsible account-holding bank transmits the data to Commitly. The transmission is fully encrypted and complies with the highest security standards. In addition, the transmission is always updated. Commitly does not guarantee that the account-holding bank will continue to support the application in the future. Commitly relies on the transmission of the data from the account-holding banks, but has no influence on the readiness of the transmission.
  5. The quality, nature and design of the service package selected by the customer are specified as follows:
  • By registering online as a customer of Commitly.
