Terms of Service – Brevius
Effective date: 14/04/2023
Brevius is an online service owned and operated by MPK Technologies Ltd (“Brevius”, “we” and “us”). Please familiarise yourself with the rules and restrictions that govern your use of our website (breviusapp.com) and any sub-domains of this site unless expressly excluded by their own terms and conditions (“Website), products, services and applications (collectively the “Services”).
The term “you” or “User” refers to a “Visitor” (which means that you simply browse the breviusapp.com website), or “Member” (which means that you have registered with breviusapp.com or any of the Services).
These Terms of Use (the “Terms”) are a binding contract between you and Brevius. By accepting electronically (for example, clicking “I Agree”), installing, accessing or using the Services, you agree to be bound by the Terms and Brevius Privacy and Security Policy, as they may be amended from time to time in the future (see “Modifications” below). If you do not agree to this Agreement, then you may not use the Services.
You may not use the Services and you may not accept these Terms if you are not at least 18 years of age and, in any event, of a legal age to form a binding contract with Brevius.
1) Description of the Services
Brevius offers a personal finance information management service that allows you to consolidate and track your financial information. Brevius offers a free app which will assist you in managing your finances.
2) Modifications
Brevius is constantly trying to improve the Services so these Terms may need to change along with the Services. We reserve the right at any time and from time to time to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Website or Services with or without notice. Brevius reserves the right to change the Services, including applicable fees, in our sole discretion and from time to time. In such event, if you are a paid user to the Services, we will provide notice to you. If you do not agree to the changes after receiving a notice of the change to the Services, you may stop using the Services. Your use of the Services, after you are notified of any change(s) will constitute your agreement to such change(s). You agree that Brevius shall not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspensions, or discontinuance of the Services. Similarly, we reserve the right to remove any Content from the Services at any time, for any reason (including, but not limited to, if someone alleges you contributed that Content in violation of these Terms), in our sole discretion, and without notice.
We also reserve the right to change the Terms at any time, but if we do, we will bring it to your attention by placing a notice on the breviusapp.com website, by sending you an email, and/or by some other means. In addition, the Agreement will always indicate the date it was last revised. If you do not agree with the new Terms, you are free to reject them but this means you will no longer be able to use the Services. If you use the Services in any way after a change to the Terms is effective, that means you agree to all of the changes.
3) Privacy and your Personal Information
Brevius takes the privacy of its users very seriously. You can view Brevius’ Privacy Policy here and on the Website.
