SupaPass was born out of a desire to enable creators to get paid a fair deal for the content they create. With that in mind, we’ve listed out some of our key principles below (though please refer to the terms of use).
We trust and empower you to:
MBASO LTD (trading as SUPAPASS) has developed a set of Software as a Service (SaaS) applications (“Platform”) which enable brands to market and sell their content over the Internet to their customers (“Purpose”) and may offer certain consultancy services and make certain parts of the Platform available for the Purpose (“Service”).
We may prepare a front-end app and/or website for you (the “App” which forms part of the Services) to allow your End Users to access your Client Content (capitalised terms are defined below).
The Service is built upon existing and future software, most of which we “white-label” (meaning the software and your App are already developed, then skinned with your logo and colour) to let you take advantage of our technology and expertise without having to build functionality yourself. As such, features, frameworks, layouts, and other aspects of the App functionality are fixed and generally the same across all of our clients. As a result, we’re able to save you costs.
In addition, we can sometimes offer certain Feature Project software development services on request, and subject to any applicable fees. If you would like further information please let us know.
If there are new standard features you’d like to suggest we incorporate, we invite you to let us know, so we can consider these in our roadmap planning and aim to prioritise improvements that are more important to our users. Please note we are under no obligation to create such features, and we will prioritise features according to our strategic objectives in our sole discretion, which aim to take popularity of a feature request into account alongside other factors for consideration. While we may discuss features with you from time to time, only those features agreed as part of your Order are included within the scope of your Client SaaS Fee. These terms (together with the documents and materials referred to in them) set out the terms and conditions (“Terms of Use”) upon which you may use this Service, the Platform and any Outputs produced as a result.

We shall provide you with such information and cooperation as may reasonably be required for the purposes of submitting such a mobile application to Apple or Google play app store operators through your own account with those operators, and we may do this on your behalf, but we shall not be responsible for its acceptance or rejection. You will provide us with full access to your developer or other accounts with app stores and Stripe and all such other assistance as we reasonably require to manage submission, deployment and operation of Apps on your behalf.

You shall reimburse us for any Deductions borne by us, if any.
4.2.3 Within 30 days of the end of each Accounting Period, we will invoice, and you shall pay to us, or we may deduct from sums we owe to you, an amount equal to the SupaPass Revenue Share.
4.3 Where we receive payments from your End Users on your behalf:
4.3.1 subject to your payment of the Fees (which we may recoup from the Net Revenue) we shall pay you 100% (or such other percentage as may be specified in the Order) of Net Revenue (as defined below) which has actually been received by us in full and final consideration of all rights granted by you to us under this Agreement (“Client Revenue Share”).
4.3.2 “Gross Revenue” means all gross income arising for you directly from and identifiably attributable to your App(s). “Deductions” means all of the following paid or payable by us directly, or on your behalf in respect of the Gross Revenue: applicable taxes and duties, third party platform costs (including without limitation Apple or Google Play App Store fees), all relevant returns, or chargebacks, transaction fees, server costs and costs incurred and borne by us in relation to processing, promoting and/or exploiting your Client Content under this Agreement. “Net Revenue” means the Gross Revenue less the Deductions.

4.3.4 Payment of your Revenue Share shall be inclusive of applicable VAT or equivalent tax (if any) and subject to deduction of any applicable withholding tax. If your total aggregate Revenue Share due in any Accounting Period is less than £100 it shall carry forward and be paid in the next Accounting Period (and any subsequent Accounting Period(s), if applicable).
4.4 For the avoidance of doubt, we shall not be responsible for any payments to third parties in connection with any of the rights granted by you hereunder in and to Client Content and you shall be solely responsible for the payment of any royalties, fees or payments due to any party for the exploitation of any of the rights granted to us hereunder. To the extent that any such payments are demanded from us you shall indemnify us from and in respect of any such demand. We shall be entitled to withhold and deduct any sums due to us in accordance with the foregoing indemnity or otherwise from any amounts payable by us to you.
5.1 The Fees for the Services will be calculated in accordance with the Usage of the Services as set out in the Tiers and Fees page and the development and consultancy fees set out in the Order or otherwise agreed between the parties, if any.
5.2 Where Fees depend on your Usage, if your Usage exceeds what’s included within your current Tier you will charged a Usage Bolt-On Fee for the new Usage tier, in accordance with the Tiers and Fees page (for the then-current payment period and subsequent payment periods) and we will charge you the difference in the applicable Fees via your usual billing method, or may limit access by you or End Users unless or until you have paid those Fees.
5.3 We may review and amend fees payable in respect of the Services by notifying you. We will give you at least 30 days’ notice. Should you reject such increase in writing before the end of the aforementioned 30 day period, we shall have the option, by notice to you in writing, to either terminate the Agreement or to disapply the increase in respect of the Agreement, otherwise the increase shall be effective immediately following the expiry of that 30 day period. Save in respect of additional charges based on Usage in accordance with clause 5.2, no fee change will be implemented in respect of any period for which we have received Client SaaS Fees paid in advance. Unless expressly stated otherwise, all fees are exclusive of VAT and/or any other applicable sales tax, which you may be able to reclaim. We will provide you with an invoice itemising the amount of the VAT.
5.4 On-Boarding fees (where applicable) are payable in full on or before our acceptance of your Order. Fees for consultancy and/or development shall be payable in accordance with the Order. You will be charged your Client SaaS Fee for the Services from the earlier of the date we provide Services or the Commencement Date set out in the Order unless the Services have not been made available to you by that date wholly as a result of our breach of this Agreement in which case you may either: (i) agree to our proposal for a reasonable extension of the Commencement Date; or (ii) terminate this Agreement without further liability to us save for those sums validly invoiced up to the effective date of termination in respect of On-Boarding; and this shall be your exclusive remedy in respect of such delay. You may be liable to pay Client SaaS Fees in respect of Services which are not available if such non-availability arises from your delay or default, including, without limitation, your failure to comply with or support the On-Boarding (or a failure of any app to be approved by any applicable app store operator other than as a result of our breach of this Agreement).
5.5 Payment of Client SaaS Fees must be made in accordance with the Tiers and Fees page by such method as we shall require from time to time. Where your Client SaaS Fee is dependent upon a selected Tier or your Usage, it will be based on either your selected Tier or on your Usage (whichever is the higher).
5.6 All fees are payable either within 30 days of the date of invoice or by calendar month (or other period agreed by us in the Order) in advance by direct debit, credit or other payment card (in which case you authorise us to charge your bank or card for the sums referred to in this clause, agree to keep your bank or card details with us up to date, and agree that you shall be responsible for payment of any third party bank or other charges incurred in the course of payment), or such other payment mechanism as is agreed in your Order.
5.7 Failure to pay fees when due shall be a material breach of these Terms of Use which entitles us to suspend or terminate (pursuant to Clause 12.3.1 of these Terms of Use). This, in turn, will affect your access to the Services. Fees remain chargeable at our standard rates during the suspension. If we terminate these Terms of Use for your material breach, we will require you to pay, without delay, all fees and costs accruing before the termination date, all unpaid Client SaaS Fees and any other amounts you owe us under these Terms of Use.
5.8 If you fail to pay any amount due under these Terms of Use, we may charge you interest on the overdue amount, payable by you on demand, from the due date up to the date of actual payment, after as well as before judgment, at the rate of 8% per annum above the base rate for the time being of the Bank of England. Such interest shall accrue on a daily basis and be compounded quarterly.
5.9 All overcharges or billing disputes must be reported within 90 days of date of invoice. Failure to do so will mean you have accepted our invoice.
5.10 We may use various payment service providers from time to time to accept payments on your behalf and transfer payments to you or integrate payment service providers on your behalf. You agree that we may request, and require before supplying the Service, certain information from you or End Users in order to comply with our regulatory obligations or our obligations to those third parties and that we shall not be responsible for any delay or failure in performance arising from any delay or failure of you or End Users to supply such information. Depending upon the payment service provider we use, or with whom you request us to integrate the Services, you may be required to agree to additional terms, including, without limitation, the terms of service of such third party payment processor.
6.1 You warrant, represent and undertake you shall:
6.1.1 comply with all laws, regulations, regulatory policies, guidelines or industry codes (and shall be responsible for obtaining all licences, clearances and consents) which apply to your use of the Service, and acknowledge that we are merely a provider of access to the Platform and accept no responsibility for your use thereof or compliance with applicable law or regulation or to any End User (other than to the extent we are required by applicable statutory law);

6.2.4 we have the authority and right to license all rights to and in the Service as set out in these Terms of Use.

6.4.2 obtain such clearances, licences and consents at our cost as may be necessary to enable you to use the Services; or
6.4.3 return Client SaaS Fees paid for such Services for the period that they failed to conform (excluding any unavoidable third party costs incurred by us in providing the Services during that period); and
6.4.4 this shall be your exclusive remedy for any breach of such warranties under this Agreement.
6.5 We shall have no liability under this Agreement for any breach of this Agreement, if any claim relates to:
6.5.1 a modification of the Services, or use of the Services in combination with any third party service, software or data, by you or your agents; or
6.5.2 your use (or use by your End Users) of the Services in a manner contrary to the instructions given to you by us or any claim relating to Client Content or End User Data; or

Accordingly, we recommend that you have your own local anti-virus, anti-spam and anti-spyware programs, that they are of good quality and that they are kept up to date. You are therefore advised to implement and operate your own commercially reasonable and up-do-date virus prevention precautions and measures when accessing the Service. You agree to communicate the aforementioned recommendations to your End Users.
6.7 We do not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted, error-free or entirely secure.

7.3.3 any other liability which cannot be excluded by law.

This may include backing up any locally held data that is also Client Content.
7.5 We shall accept liability for reasonably foreseeable losses arising as a direct result of breach by us of our statutory duty. However we shall not be liable where the causes or potential causes of the loss:
7.5.1 arose from the use of the Services for purposes other than for the Purpose;

7.7 Our total aggregate liability to you arising under or in connection with this Agreement or otherwise (whether in contract, tort, including negligence or otherwise, or for breach of statutory duty), whether foreseeable or not will not exceed a sum equal to 100% of the amount actually paid by you to us in connection with the provision of the Service to you in the 12-month period preceding the date upon which the claim arose.

8.4 Neither party shall be responsible for any loss, destruction, alteration or disclosure of Confidential Information caused by any third party without the participation and/or knowledge of a party hereto.

10.5 You shall include in any App or communication through the Service an acknowledgement in the form: “powered by SUPAPASS” (or in such other form as shall be mutually agreed between us from time to time during the Term) unless otherwise specified in the Order.
You shall defend, indemnify and hold us, our Affiliates and their (and our) respective directors and employees harmless against claims, actions, proceedings, losses, liabilities, damages, expenses and costs (including, without limitation, court costs and reasonable legal fees) arising out of or in connection with: (a) your use (or that of your End Users) of the Services; (b) claims from a third party that the Client Content infringes the intellectual property rights or other rights of a third party; (c) any breach of your warranties or representations under these Terms of Use; (d) any breach by you of applicable data protection, consumer protection, employment or other law or regulation; and/or (e) any claim for compensation, refund or other reimbursement by End Users (whether or not such claim arises from termination of the Agreement or suspension of the Services by us, in which case you shall be responsible for satisfying any such claims directly).
12.1 The Agreement will come into effect on the date of the Order, subject to clause 4.1, and shall remain in effect for the longer of the initial term or billing period specified in the Order (or, for one calendar month where no such period is specified in the Order) (“Initial Term”) and shall automatically renew for a period equal to the Initial Term upon the expiry of any Subscription Period (where each of the Initial Period and any such renewal period shall constitute a “Subscription Period”) at the fee then listed on the Tiers and Fees page at the Tier that is applicable at the time of renewal (or subject to such other fees as are agreed in the Order in respect of renewal periods) unless and until terminated in accordance with its terms.
12.2 Unless agreed otherwise in writing between you and us (for example where an alternative “Notice Period” is agreed in the Order), the Agreement may be terminated for convenience by either party giving notice at least 35 days prior to the expiry of any Subscription Period, provided that such notice shall not expire earlier than the expiry of the then current Subscription Period and, unless we approve such termination in writing, any such termination by you shall not be effective in respect of any consultancy or development Services until such Services have been completed, accepted and all applicable Fees received by us.

12.3.1 immediately on giving notice in writing to you if you fail to pay any sum due under the Agreement (otherwise than as a consequence of any default on our part) and such sum remains unpaid for 14 days after written notice from us requiring such sum to be paid;
12.3.2 immediately on giving notice in writing to you if you are in material breach of any term of the Agreement (other than any failure by you to make any payment hereunder, in which event the provisions of Clause 12.3.1 shall apply) and, in the case of a breach capable of being remedied, shall have failed to have remedied, within 30 days of receiving notice requiring you to do so.
12.4 If you choose to cancel pursuant to the terms of Clause 12.2 you are not entitled to a refund in respect of the remainder of any period in respect of which your Client SaaS Fee or other fee was paid in advance (if applicable). If we cancel without cause (which we may do on 90 days’ written notice), then we will refund to you (to the extent you have already paid it to us), on a pro-rata basis, the amount of unused Client SaaS Fee remaining right before the cancellation.
12.5 Notwithstanding the above, we may suspend access to any part of the Platform and/or the Services immediately without notice if: (a) you are in breach of this Agreement; (b) your use of the Platform, Outputs or Services has or is likely to have an adverse impact on us, our clients, or any other third party. Suspension in accordance with the foregoing shall not relieve you of any of your liabilities or obligations under this Agreement. We may remove Apps or Client Content from the Platform where, in our sole discretion, we believe it may adversely impact us, our clients or any third party, or cause offence or be contrary to any law or regulation or contractual obligation or right of any third party (for example, we may remove content to comply with the terms of third party social networks or similar).
12.6 Without prejudice to any other rights or remedies which the parties may have, either party may terminate the Agreement without liability to the other immediately on giving written notice to the other if:
12.6.1 the other party commits a material or persistent breach of any of its obligations under these Terms of Use and (in the case of a breach capable of being remedied) does not remedy such breach within 30 days of receiving from the other party written notice of the breach and a request to remedy the breach; or
12.6.2 the other party suspends, or threatens to suspend, payment of its debts, is unable to pay its debts as they fall due, admits inability to pay its debts or (being a company) is deemed unable to pay its debts within the meaning of section 123 of the Insolvency Act 1986 or (being a natural person) is deemed either unable to pay its debts or as having no reasonable prospect of so doing, in either case, within the meaning of section 268 of the Insolvency Act 1986 or (being a partnership) has any partner to whom any of the foregoing apply; or
12.6.3 the other party commences negotiations with all, or any class of, its creditors with a view to rescheduling any of its debts, or makes a proposal for, or enters into any compromise or arrangement with, its creditors other than for the sole purpose of a scheme for a solvent amalgamation of that other party with one or more other companies, or the solvent reconstruction of that other party; or
12.6.4 any event occurs, or proceeding is taken, with respect to the other party in any jurisdiction to which it is subject that has an effect equivalent or similar to any of the events mentioned in clauses 12.6.1 to 12.6.3 (inclusive).
12.6.5 Any termination of the Agreement howsoever occasioned shall not affect any accrued rights or liabilities of either party nor shall it affect the coming into force or the continuance in force of any provision hereof which is expressly or by implication intended to come into or continue in force on or after such termination.
12.6.6 Following termination or expiry of this Agreement we may but shall not be obliged to retain all Client Content and End User Data.

13.2 Our performance under the Agreement is deemed to be suspended for the period that the Force Majeure Event continues, and we will have an extension of time for performance for the duration of that period.
13.3 We will use our reasonable commercial endeavours to mitigate the effect of any Force Majeure Event and to carry out our obligations under the Agreement in any way that is reasonably practicable despite the Force Majeure Event and to resume the performance of our obligations as soon as reasonably possible.
14.1 Subject to clause 14.2, we may revise and amend these Terms of Use from time to time to reflect changes in, but not limited to, market conditions affecting our business, changes in technology, changes in payment methods, changes in the options available in relation to the Services, changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements, changes in our capabilities and changes in what we are able to obtain from our third party licensors, contractors and other suppliers.
14.2 We may amend these Terms of Use from time to time but only to the extent reasonably necessary to comply with any requirement under or change of applicable law or any regulatory requirements affecting rights and/or obligations arising from or connected with these Terms of Use, and after giving to you as much as advance written notice as reasonably possible of such amendment and the date upon which it is to be effective. If such amendment materially prejudices your interests under these Terms of Use, you may notify us that you wish to terminate these Terms of Use, and such termination shall be effective on the date upon which such amendment to these Terms of Use would otherwise be effective between you and us, unless we notify you before that date that such amendment shall not be effective between you and us.
14.3 In addition, you acknowledge that from time to time during the Term we may apply upgrades to the Platform, and that such upgrades may, subject to Clause 14.4, result in changes to the appearance and/or functionality of the Platform.
14.4 We endeavour for upgrades to not disable, delete or significantly impair the existing functionality of the Platform. However, we may, in our discretion, need to discontinue some features and functionality or make wider changes to these Terms of Use or our Agreement from time to time. If we do so, we will give you at least 30 days’ notice, and you will have a right to request termination of this Agreement, and we will either accept that request or continue providing the feature. Following acceptance of the termination request, then we will refund to you (to the extent you have already paid it to us), on a pro-rata basis for the date your App ends, the amount of unused Client SaaS Fee remaining.
14.5 Software Updates and New Functionality and Features:
14.5.1 Software Updates to the Platform, defined as compatibility with new browsers, devices, and operating systems, shall be rolled out from time to time at our discretion and are included in the Service and shall not be subject to any additional charges.
14.5.2 New functionality and feature upgrades may be rolled out from time to time at our discretion. On occasion some of these features may automatically be applied to your Service by us and as such shall not be subject to any additional charges.
14.5.3 Typically new functionality and products shall be offered for additional charges. You shall be given the opportunity whether or not to add such new functionality or products to your Order and Client SaaS Fee.

15.2.2 A notice sent by email will be deemed to have been received when sent (or, if despatch is not in Business Hours, at 9am on the first Business Day following despatch).
15.3 No failure by either party to enforce any rights under the Agreement shall constitute a waiver of such right then or in the future. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by an authorised representative of the waiving party.
15.4 If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of the Order or these Terms of Use, or portion thereof, to be unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible so as to give effect to the economic intent of the parties, and the remainder of these Terms of Use and the Order will continue in full force and effect.
15.5 Other than our Affiliates, a person who is not a party to the Agreement has no right or benefit under or to enforce the Agreement whether under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 or otherwise.
15.6 These Terms of Use, including the Schedules, and the Order constitute the sole and entire understanding of the parties in relation to the subject matter of the Agreement and supersede all previous agreements, representations and arrangements between the parties (either oral or written) with regard to the subject matter of the Agreement. The parties confirm that they have not entered into the Agreement on the basis of any representations that are not expressly incorporated in these Terms of Use or the Order. Each party irrevocably and unconditionally waives any rights it may have to claim damages and/or to rescind the Agreement for any misrepresentation in relation to the subject matter of the Agreement whether or not contained in these Terms of Use or the Order or for breach of warranty not contained in these Terms of Use or the Order unless such misrepresentation or warranty was made fraudulently. The Agreement may only be amended or supplemented in writing and signed by an authorised representative of both parties.
15.7 We are an independent contractor and neither we nor any of our personnel assigned to provide Services to you under this Agreement will be, or be deemed to be for any purpose, an employee or agent of yours, save to the extent that we may process payment for you as described in these Terms of Use and, for the avoidance of doubt, you acknowledge and agree that any agreement for the supply of Client Content to End Users is between you and those End Users directly.
15.8 We may use subcontractors to provide the Services provided that we remain solely responsible for the Services of such subcontractors.
15.9 Throughout the Term and for 6 months thereafter you shall not, and shall procure that those Affiliates, employees or officers of yours who have used the Service in the preceding 12 months shall not, directly or indirectly develop, contribute to, or have a financial interest in, a service, platform or business which competes with or is likely to compete with, the Platform.
