Codenica Terms of Use and User Responsibilities

The combination of these Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy creates a binding contract (the "Agreement") between Codenica (also referred to as "we", "us", or "the Company") and any individual or organization that registers for or utilizes the services we offer (referred to as "Customer" and "you"), both referred to together as “parties” and separately as a “party”.

By agreeing to this Agreement, you accept the terms under which we provide our services. Completion of the registration process, accessing, or using our services signifies that (I) you have fully read, understood, and accepted the terms of this Agreement; (II) you affirm and warrant your authorization to agree to these terms on behalf of the account owner, binding them to this Agreement; and (III) you acknowledge that your use of our services is strictly for business purposes. If you lack the legal authority to bind yourself or your organization to this Agreement, find any part of the Agreement unclear, or disagree with its terms, we ask that you refrain from registering for or using our services.

By entering into this Agreement, both you and Codenica are committed to its terms, which become effective at the earliest of the following moments: the date you register for our services, begin accessing or using them, or sign an applicable Order Form, hereby referred to as the “Effective Date”.
