General Terms and Conditions
Below is the contractual document that will govern the hiring of products and services through the website revi.io, owned by WEE ECOMMERCE SL, NIF/CIF B98656275, with its registered office at C/ Grabador Enguidanos 47-10, 46015, Valencia (hereinafter Revi). By accepting this document, the user acknowledges that they have read, understand, and comprehend the following terms, have sufficient capacity to contract, and assume all obligations incurred on their part.
1. Identity of the Parties
On one side, revi.io, and on the other side, the user, who is registered on the website with a username and password, for which they have full responsibility for use and custody, being responsible for the accuracy of the personal data provided to revi.io.
2. Purpose of the Contract
Revi develops and manages intelligent software solutions for ecommerce, through which Revi's client companies (both online and offline goods and services companies) can request real opinions or ratings from their end customers for the products and services they offer.
This contract aims to regulate the purchase-sale contractual relationship arising between Revi and the administrator or manager of the ecommerce when they accept the corresponding checkbox during the online hiring process.
The purchase-sale contractual relationship involves the provision of a service in exchange for a specified price publicly displayed on the website. The following sections regulate the availability of the Revi customer rating system and the obligations of the company implementing this system.
3. Hiring
To access the services offered by Revi, the user must register on the revi.io website by creating a user account. For this, the user must freely and voluntarily provide the personal data required.
The user will select a username and password, committing to use them lawfully and diligently, and not to make them available to third parties. The user must also notify revi.io of any loss or theft of these credentials or any potential unauthorized access by a third party so that the account can be immediately blocked.
Revi offers several plans with different features, with the 'Free' plan being the basic plan upon registration. The client can choose to subscribe to a higher plan with specific conditions and durations (monthly or annual). This new plan will auto-renew once the end date arrives for the same period it was contracted unless the contracting company manually cancels the subscription (an option available from the account panel).
Although the plan can be changed at any time, there is no partial or full refund for payments already made for the current period. If any paid plan is canceled, the account status will revert to 'Free' once the contract period expires at no additional cost.
3.1 Conclusion of the Contract
These general commercial conditions (hereinafter 'GCC') are exclusively valid for legal entities, individuals with sufficient capacity to perform legal acts, and with economic activity, independent professionals, or companies in the sense of Art. 14 of the Spanish Civil Code.
The company requests the use of the Revi customer rating system through an online order form and, by doing so, declares that it is engaging in economic or independent professional activity. Furthermore, it accepts these GCC of Revi by signing or ticking the checkbox in the designated field. The data requested during registration (general company data, email address, store system, payment details if this type of subscription was chosen, etc.) must be correctly provided. By accepting the GCC online, a binding contract is formed between the company and Revi, whereby the company provides its data on products and sales to Revi, but never personal information about customers.
3.2 Duration and Termination of the Contract
The contract will be considered initiated once both the Terms and Conditions and the Revi Registration Form have been confirmed. The technical implementation of the Revi service is the responsibility of the company, following the technical instructions provided by Revi. Revi is not responsible for any failure of the company to technically install the Revi service and provides a customer support service for technical assistance.
There is no minimum duration period for Revi services. The active subscription can be canceled at any time, provided it is done before the next month's billing. Cancellation can be done from the user control panel, in the subscriptions area. The cancellation simultaneously terminates the agreement for using the Revi rating system. The right to extraordinary cancellation for just cause remains unaffected. Specifically, there is just cause for Revi to cancel the contract extraordinarily if the company repeatedly fails to meet any obligations stated in point 5 of this document despite being previously warned of such non-compliance, if the fulfillment of these obligations is seriously and definitively rejected, or if there is a delay in the monthly payment.
If, during the contract period, the company opts for an upgrade to a higher-value Revi service (Pro, Premium), an immediate charge for the new subscription amount will be applied, and the billing period will change to the same day of each month.
4. Services
4.1. Revi provides integration modules configured for major CMS platforms (Wordpress, Prestashop, Magento, among others) that allow for autonomous integration.
If the client does not have a compatible CMS, Revi offers an API for manual integration by the client through programming. For paid subscriptions, technical support is provided to assist with autonomous integrations.
Revi cannot guarantee compatibility with every system. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure compatibility with the review system before contracting.
4.2. Revi offers various service packages with different features available to companies during the contract period. It includes a free version and three paid versions (Pro, Premium, and Unlimited).
4.3. After the contract is concluded, Revi grants the company access during the period stipulated in the contract for using the Revi rating system. Revi provides software with which ratings from customers can be collected, managed, and visualized.
4.4. The complete and current scope of functions of the service provided by Revi can be consulted at any time on the Revi website (https://revi.io/es/precio).
4.5. Through customer review managers, Revi verifies the validity of the wording of ratings provided by customers. Valid comments are included on the company’s Certification Page.
4.6. The company authorizes the use of Revi Widgets and Seal, which are granted based on certain quality criteria and are available for download in the Client Area of the Revi website. Various types of widgets are available depending on the area of the website and the client’s choice.
4.7. All server and system components of the Revi service operate in a network with redundant computers. The data configured by the company is stored using Revi technology. Generally, Revi performs scheduled maintenance work on the Revi service at night, at regular intervals.
4.8. Registration with Revi involves the creation of a customizable store page where opinions about the business are collected. This public page is indexable by default unless the client prefers that the page be invisible to Google.
4.9. Revi includes a review moderation service where the company is contacted by customers who have left a negative review. This mediation service only facilitates communication between the parties to reach an agreement, and if possible, achieve customer satisfaction with a subsequent modification of the review content at the customer’s discretion.
4.10. Revi also offers a public Q&A service aimed at improving knowledge about the product and company. These questions are also subject to a moderation process regarding their content.
5. Prices, Billing, Payment, and Refunds
5.1. For the establishment of the Revi rating system, the company does not have to pay a setup fee at the start of the contract period, only the chosen monthly fee. If the company upgrades to the Pro, Premium, or Unlimited version, it must cancel the current service and then subscribe to the higher (or lower) value service. In this case, the comment history from the previous version remains intact. If there is a software change within the company that is not attributable to Revi and the software is supported by Revi, no additional payment will be required. If the software is not supported by Revi, we cannot guarantee full functionality of the service, and it will be the responsibility of the contracting company.
5.2. For the use of the Revi rating system, the company will pay the agreed fee each month, exactly on the same day of the month as the first payment, unless an advance annual payment has been agreed upon.
5.3. Accepted payment methods: for the payment of the contracted monthly fees, credit cards and PayPal payments are accepted. For annual subscriptions, in addition to these payment methods, Bank Transfer is also accepted.
5.4. In addition to the agreed fee, if the company requires exceeding the agreed volume of ratings, the company will pay a supplement for a package of ratings that varies in number and price, invoiced exactly on the same day of the month as the extension is made. This also applies to companies that have agreed to an annual payment. The amount of the fee and the order volume are based exclusively on the agreed volume of services according to the requested Revi service.
5.5. By concluding the contract, the company irrevocably authorizes Revi to charge the payments due at the expiry of each subscription to the account via direct debit or credit card payment, unless otherwise agreed in writing. If the bank account does not have sufficient funds, the credit institution holding the account has no obligation to pay. In the direct debit process, partial payments are not made.
5.6. To cover the risk of credit collection, Revi reserves the right to restrict the choice of payment methods.
5.7. The setup fee is payable immediately after receipt of the invoice, with a due date according to the designated payment deadline. Monthly fees are due 30 days after each payment, unless otherwise agreed in writing. Payment will be formalized upon receipt of the funds.
5.8. In case of delayed payment, Revi is authorized to reduce the subscription and temporarily convert it to a Revi Free subscription.
5.9. Revi expressly reserves the right to block the company's rating profile and to withhold services while the company is in arrears with payment of the accrued fees.
5.10. Cancellation period for validly canceling the purchase of the service: You may cancel the purchase and receive a full refund within 14 days from the date of purchase. However, please note that if you start receiving customer reviews within this 14-day period, you will no longer be entitled to cancel or annul the purchase. Additionally, after this 14-day period, you will no longer be entitled to cancel your purchase for that month or receive a refund even if no reviews have been received for your store.
6. Obligations of the Company
6.1. If the data provided by the company during registration changes, the company is obligated to immediately notify Revi of these changes.
6.2. The company must not misuse the Revi rating system, particularly by creating a false impression with positive reviews, whether done personally or by request. The company must not undertake any actions that result in negative reviews being excluded from the system. At the same time, the company must not modify or falsify the reviews obtained from customers due to the review control system used by Revi, where only one review per actual customer purchase can be submitted.
6.3. The company will refrain from engaging in activities intended to disable, manipulate, or hinder the use of the Revi rating system.
6.4. The company is required to protect and maintain the confidentiality of access data to Revi (username, account password, and interface password) against unauthorized use by third parties. It must immediately inform Revi if it reasonably suspects that there has been unauthorized use.
6.5. The company is not authorized to deposit, offer, or distribute any content for download on websites associated with the Revi rating system that is illegal or immoral, especially discriminatory, racist, inciting violence, or pornographic content.
6.6. The company is personally responsible for how it addresses customers regarding the possibility of rating, as well as for obtaining consent from its end customers and for its data protection statement. Revi assumes no responsibility in this regard.
6.7. Revi commits to reflecting real reviews about the store or products without any censorship, and only when these come from real purchases verified through the Revi control system. These reviews can only be modified by the author of the review, either independently or with the help of an open mediation process.
6.8. Each review is linked to a real user who can be contacted. In the case of a negative review, Revi will mediate between the store and the consumer to resolve the conflict, always anonymously and without disclosing personal data beyond what is included in the review itself.
6.9. Reviews and their content must not violate applicable laws or regulations. In particular, it is illegal to use racist, sexist, defamatory, or offensive language that infringes on someone's privacy, reproduces private conversations, or uses copyrighted works. Reviews should also not address topics unrelated to the review itself.
6.10. Revi and its system are not responsible for situations resulting from its use, including failure to open review requests, or losses of traffic or sales due to poor ratings from reviews.
6.11. Revi cannot guarantee the perfect functioning of the platform due to the inherent nature of computer systems and failures resulting from the various technical segments that make up the Revi system.
6.12. A review about a brand may be rejected if it is considered inappropriate, defamatory, or unacceptable in terms of assault on honor, if there is evidence that it may be a false review, if it does not refer to the brand itself, is biased, or has the intention of manipulating values.
Reviews may also be rejected if they contain personal data, mention competitors, evidence lack of product testing, are spam, or violate publishing laws that Revi must adhere to.
Finally, a review may be rejected if the author contacts Revi to retract, modify, or delete the published review.
7. Client Obligations
At the time of signing the contract, the client agrees to these terms of service and obligations.

7.2. The client is responsible for the use and security of their username, password, and access codes, and for any misuse by third parties.
