Terms of Service

We, Stopgap AB, a Swedish company (company no. 559387-9264), bring you services under the “currently” brand via our website available on https://currently.one (the “Website”), related social media accounts, mobile applications and services (collectively, the “Services”). The Services are made available to you subject to these Terms of Service (the “Terms”) and in accordance with our Privacy Policy (the “Privacy Policy”). More information about the Services may be found at the Website. You agree to comply with these Terms as well as with any supplemental terms which we make available to you. By accessing, using, or uploading or downloading any information or materials to or from the Services, or by indicating your assent to these Terms by creating an account, clicking “sign up” or any similar mechanism, you are agreeing to these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not access or use the Services.

The Services cannot be provided, and the agreement described in these Terms of Service cannot be performed, without our processing of data about you. Processing of the data you share with us, is essential to the Services which we provide and a necessary part of our performance of the agreement we have with you.

Background

The purpose of the Services is to give you a better way to understand and manage your electricity consumption. By creating an account with us and installing our hardware solutions in your home or work place, we aim to give you the ability to access and analyze your electricity usage data via the Services. These Terms set out our respective rights and obligations in relation to your usage of the Services.

Accounts

To use the Services, you must create an account. You agree to: (a) provide true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself (“User Data”), and (b) maintain and promptly update the User Data. You agree that we may use your User Data to provide Services that you access or use and as otherwise set forth in these Terms. If you provide any User Data that is inaccurate or not current, or we have reasonable grounds to suspect that such User Data is inaccurate or not current, we have the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse current or future use of the Services.

You accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your account or from your computer and mobile devices. We endeavour to use reasonable security measures to protect against unauthorized access to your account. We cannot, however, guarantee absolute security of your account, your Content (as defined below), or the personal information you provide, and we cannot promise that our security measures will prevent third parties from illegally accessing the Services or its contents. You agree to immediately notify us of any unauthorized use of your account, or any other breach of security, and confirm that you understand all risks of unauthorized access to User Data and any other information or content you provide to us.

You may create your account via a third-party network, such as Apple, Facebook, or Google. If you do so, you hereby authorize us to pre-populate the relevant information fields of your account, and to use such third-party credentials to log you into your account. If you connect your account to a third-party network, you agree to comply with the terms and conditions and policies applicable to such third party.
