It is prohibited to use or enable the use of the Platform by persons under the age of 18. If you are under 18 years of age, please stop using the Platform immediately.

As a rule, Users who have not registered to use the Services have a limited range of rights on the Platform and are allowed to navigate the Platform and view the Content to a limited extent. Such Users do not have access to all content published on the Platform.

If you are a Registered user, you will be notified of changes to the Terms and significant changes in the provision of Services (information on promotions, updates and making new options available under the existing subscription model) via the email address associated with your User account no later than 15 (fifteen) days before the effect of amendments to the Terms. If you continue your subscription or continue to use the Services, you will be deemed to have agreed to the changes to the Terms, and upon entry into force, the new version of the Terms will apply to you. If you do not agree with the amended terms of the Terms, you may exercise the right to terminate the Terms before the amended Terms become effective. In such event, the applicable Terms will continue to apply until the end of the subscription period (if applicable).

It is our legal obligation to notify you of such changes so that you can decide whether you wish to continue with your subscription. Such correspondence does not constitute marketing or promotional messages and the Registered user may not opt out of receiving such messages. In case the Registered user does not wish to receive such notifications, he/she will have to delete the User account.

User must pay any applicable subscription fee applicable to any Subscription model accepted by the User, the fees, any overages, and any other amounts payable by User directly to Native Teams in accordance with these Terms or separate binding contract with Native Teams. Subscription payment plan details are set forth on our Pricing page.

User must pay to us:

  • The fee amount by the due date as specified via the Platform or a separate binding contract with Native Teams;

  • Any costs and expenses set out in the Terms or a separate binding contract with Native Teams (including, taxes, and other charges) by the payment method and currency stipulated via the Platform or applicable invoice (which may be updated from time to time);

  • Native Teams may modify your Subscription fees at any time and in its sole discretion upon at least 30 (thirty) days advance notice to you before the end date of your next billing cycle or based on the terms of your contract with Native Teams; in case of conflict pursuant to this clause the terms of your contract with Native Teams shall prevail;

  • The above changes to Subscription model will become effective at the end of the next billing cycle following your receipt of notice of the change. If you do not agree to the fee change, you must terminate your Subscription model at least 7 (seven) working days prior to the end of your next billing cycle by sending a notice of termination or based on the terms of your contract with Native Teams; in case of conflict pursuant to this clause the terms of your contract with Native Teams shall prevail;

  • If User fails to make any payment due under the Terms or a separate binding contract with Native Teams by the due date for payment, then, without limiting our remedies, User agrees to pay interest on the overdue amount at the rate of 2% per annum above our primary bank's standard overdraft rate or based on the terms of your contract with Native Teams; in case of conflict pursuant to this clause the terms of your contract with Native Teams shall prevail. Such interest shall accrue on a daily basis from the due date until actual payment of the overdue amount. User agrees to pay the interest together with the overdue amount;

If any such withholding or deduction is required by law, User agrees to, when making the payment to which the withholding or deduction relates, pay to us such additional amount as will ensure that we receive the same total amount that we would have received if no such withholding or deduction had been required. In addition, where required to be paid by law, the User must provide to us a copy of the certificate of withholding (or analogous document).

User acknowledges that:

  • The payments under the Terms payable to Native Teams are exclusive of taxes which, if applicable, shall be payable by User;

  • We have no responsibility whatsoever in relation to the impact of exchange rate variations or payment gateway fees and charges;

  • In the event a User determines that it is required to withhold any taxes from any sums payable to us, the User is obligated to notify us in advance, setting out the legal basis for the withholding of these sums.

Your payment obligations under your Subscription plan for each billing cycle may not be cancelled after a billing cycle has commenced, and you will not receive a partial refund if you stop using the Services and terminate your Subscription plan before the end of a billing cycle. All fees paid by you to Native Teams are non-refundable and there are no credits for partially used Subscription plan periods. We may consider certain refund requests on a case-by-case basis in our sole discretion.

Free account. Native Teams may, at its sole discretion, offer a Subscription plan with a Free account option. If you have opted for a Free account, you may upgrade it to a payable Subscription plan or cancel the Free account at any time by emailing us at: support@nteams.com.

At any time and without notice, Native Teams reserves the right to: (i) modify the terms of any Free account offer, (ii) withdraw any Free account offer, or (iii) cancel any Free account Subscription plan at any time.

Payment service providers. Native Teams may use various payments partners, technologies, licenses etc. to enable payments services on its Platform. If you make or receive payments using a Payment service provider, you acknowledge and agree that you will comply with any Payment service provider terms of service or other agreement between you and the Payment service provider. We will not be held liable for any losses or damages, direct or indirect, pecuniary or non-pecuniary, resulting from the actions or omissions of any Payment service provider, and we expressly disclaim any responsibility in this regard. Any fees for use of a Payment service provider to make payments or receive payments will be borne by you.

Contract dashboard. Users can use the Platform to create and manage Employment contracts. Each Employment contract is assigned a unique contract ID. Users can organize Employment contracts on the Native Teams dashboard according to Employment contract type, Legal employer/Client, employee and ID.

Contract generation. Users can set Employment contract terms by selecting from pre-set parameters using Native Teams’s contract generation form. Parameters include Legal employer/Client and employee names and addresses, Employment contract type, payment type, special clauses and jurisdiction. Users can also use the web form to input job positions, working hours, annual leave entitlements and other Employment contract details.

Pre-existing agreements. Users can also use the contract dashboard to upload and manage agreements created and executed by Legal Employer/Client and employees outside the Platform.

Contract management. Users can securely store and manage multiple Employment contracts in their User accounts organized by type, counterparty and their status. Users can limit access to Employment contracts and Employment contract information to specific persons, companies, or groups.

10. Native Vault

Native Vault feature. Native Vault feature is an easy way to upgrade your Wallet experience. Users can open their Native Vault(s) with no additional account fees, and no transfer fees.

Users determine their return percentage based on the time they choose to reserve their money in the Native Vault. The User can choose between 30, 60 or 90 days. Depending on how long they choose to reserve their funds, they will receive a percentage of the return that reflects the time their money has been invested or held in the Native Vault:

  • 30 days: 0.5%,

  • 60 days: 1.1%, or

  • 90 days: 2%.

The minimum amount required to activate the Native Vault is 100 EUR/100 USD.

After the reservation (loan) period, the User's funds and additional rewards will be immediately deposited into the User's Wallet and available for use.

Native Vault agreement. This agreement governs the relationship between you and us. It applies when you use the Native Vault feature on the Native Teams Platform. In addition to the Native Vault agreement and the Terms, we may, at our sole discretion, provide you with additional agreements and terms that are tailored to the way you use Native Vault.

With the Native Vault feature, the User (“Lender”) reserves (i.e. lends) part of their Wallet balance for a certain period and receives additional financial rewards when the lending period ends. When repaying the principal, the User receives interest on the loan paid by Native Teams (“Borrower”).

By accepting these Terms, you also accept the Native Vault agreement and its terms.

Withdrawal. There are no fees associated with making an early withdrawal. However, you accept that you will not be able to receive any financial benefits if you decide to withdraw before the collection date.

Changes of interest rate. We will give you reasonable notice if the interest rate is going to go up or down. Although the interest rate may change from time to time, the interest rate you receive will always be as stated on the Native Teams Platform and/or in Terms, with no hidden fees or deductions.

You may have to pay tax on any interest. We cannot advise you on this, and will not collect any tax for you, make any payments on your behalf, or provide you with any tax certificates.

Rejection and suspension. Sometimes we might refuse your instruction to send money to Native Vault. If we do, we will not be responsible for any losses you suffer as a result. For example, we may refuse your instruction if:

  • the particular Native Vault feature is no longer available;

  • we have good reason to suspect receipt of incomplete, unauthorised, revoked or fraudulent instructions, or your instruction was for an illegal purpose; or

  • we have good reason to believe that your instruction could badly affect our reputation or goodwill.

You cannot cancel any instruction to send money to Native Vault once it has been submitted.

We’ll do as much as reasonably possible to make sure that access to Native Vault through the Native Teams Platform is not interrupted, is secure and virus-free, and is accessible at a reasonable speed. However, we can’t promise that this will always be the case.

Sometimes we’ll suspend access to Native Vault so that we can make technical changes, add new features, or make sure they run smoothly. We’ll try to give you notice before we do this, although we might not be able to do so in an emergency. We’ll also try to keep any suspension as short as possible.

We will not be responsible to you for losses that arise:

  • if access to Native Vault isn’t available;

  • if we don’t meet our obligations under these terms and conditions because of a legal or regulatory requirement; or

  • because there were unusual or unexpected events outside our respective controls.
