This site is made available to you free of charge, however, the functions, features and services offered on or through the site (or all of them, as the case may be) may require you to open a user account, including setting up a username and password, as well as to pay for the services.

In order to create and use your Puls Account you have to create your username and password. Your username is the email address with which you are opening the Puls Account. One user may have multiple Puls Accounts, however, each of these Puls Accounts shall have a unique username. You may have your username changed only by requesting the administration of the site to perform this action, provided that we reserve our right to reject your request at our sole discretion. We have the right to impose certain requirements or limitations to the format of usernames and passwords at any time at our sole discretion.

Our site is designed to provide our users with automated web-based Treasury services:

that will simplify access to your bank accounts in most of German banks thus replacing multiple banking apps with one interface, allowing you to access (including search and filtering) payment transactions made in the past periods (subject to the specifics of various banks), to assign financial categories, your own labels and comments to those transactions, and to simplify financial analysis that you may wish to make on the basis of this information

(the “Account Aggregation Services”);

that calculate a credit limit for you on the basis of the information obtained while using the Account aggregation services including the transactions and end of day balances on a respective bank accounts; that assign and maintain it to your specific entity or to a group of connected companies in your Puls Account,

(the “Credit Limit Maintenance Services”);

that provide brokerage services under §34c GewO by way of granting access to a loan should you choose to take one (the loan will be provided by a German investment fund; BaFin reg. Nr. 70162347),

(the “Brokerage Services”);

that allow you to simplify cash flow management by adding (changing, deleting) your planned financial transactions in every connected bank account and to see how these will be impacting the end of day balances at each bank account every day as Puls recalculates all those balances instantly based on your planned transactions, thus making it easier to know if you have enough money for each account and day eliminating human error, mistakes in formulas or outdated data in spreadsheets; and if you do not have enough liquidity, you will win time to adapt either by reducing costs or by moving the planned payments or by getting financing from your regular source or soliciting a loan from us by using our Brokerage Services,

(the “Planning Services”);

that provide you the functionality of creating payment orders based on your planned transactions while using Planning services and submitting those orders to your banks (for every payment order you submit the bank will always be asking for the consent directly from you),

(the “Payment Services”).

We shall be collectively referring to the Account Aggregation Services, the Credit Limit Maintenance Services, the Brokerage Services, the Planning Services, and the Payment Services as the “Services”.

Please check your Puls Account to see the current list of Services as the list above is not exhaustive and may vary from time to time. The functions, features and Services are distributed across your Puls Account as follows:

The English language version of these Terms shall be a convenience translation only. The binding language of these Terms is German. The German version of these Terms shall prevail.

We do not provide Brokerage Services and related features offered on or through this site to CONSUMERS (also sometimes referred to as the retail customers).

We do not provide Services and features offered on or through this site to the public law bodies, to sovereign and other state bodies, including without limitation municipalities as well as to any government agencies.

The Services are designed for the legal entities and entrepreneurs (Unternehmen) whether registered in the Trade Register (Handelsregister) or not. YOU HEREBY REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT:

The Services provided by means of this web site as well as the legal consequences are dependent on your legal capacity to act on behalf of the entity which bank accounts you connect to our system.

For the purposes of these Terms, the “connection of the bank account to our system” means:

• you are redirected to and directly instructing a licensed and regulated by the Bundesanstalt für Finanzdienstleistungsaufsicht (BaFin) German company - finAPI GmbH (finAPI);
• that you will have to agree to the Terms of Services of finAPI;

• that when you connect your bank account to our system:

  • you provide your Internet bank credentials (usernames (logins) and passwords) of an entity (whether its own or of the entity that the user represents) directly to finAPI; 
  • the data accessed by finAPI in the bank shall be transferred to our system to the relevant Puls Account;
• the Internet access by finAPI to the relevant bank account through dedicated bank interfaces designed to retrieve account data from payment accounts pursuant to the rules provided by the Directive (EU) 2015/2366 (the second Payment Services Directive, also known as “PSD2”);
• that your encrypted data is stored securely in a German data center;
• the processing of data by the applications on the site for the purposes of providing Services.

AT NO TIME DO WE OBTAIN ACCESS TO YOUR ONLINE BANKING SERVICE OR BANK ACCOUNTS. PULS SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SERVICES PROVIDED TO YOU BY FINAPI.

In those cases where you are the borrower of the loan(s) the current status of the operations on your bank accounts is essential for the assessment of your credit limit, for the repayment forecast, for the forecasts to be created by the Planner. Thus, in the event of expiration of your authorization (authentication, login) provided to finAPI for the purposes of retrieving the data from at least one of the connected bank accounts to our system you are obliged to renew the authorization (authentication, login) at least once in three (3) calendar days.

Irrespective of the number of the connected bank accounts and the number of the entities to which these bank accounts belong, the connection of each bank account that belongs to (or is under control of) an entity constitutes your confirmation, representation and warranty that:

• you are the actual and lawful holder of the online bank account credentials (ID, password, 2FA keys) necessary to access and operate that bank account;

• you are duly authorized to act on behalf of that entity at all times and in all matters:

  • either by force of law (as, by way of example only, the managing director) or by a power of attorney; and
  • where the joint action of several directors or officers or representatives is required by force of law or by corporate documents of that entity;
• your consent to and execution of the legally binding relationship (contract) by that entity with us.

The bank accounts of one entity may appear in multiple Puls Accounts.

If you connect only the bank accounts of a consumer(s) no credit limit can be established. We do not take into account and do not analyse bank data of consumers for the purposes of calculating credit limits and do not allow consumers soliciting loans.

If you connect bank account of an entity we are entitled to carry out the Know-Your-Client procedure in respect of the entity, directors, shareholders, and beneficiaries pursuant to the laws and regulations currently in force.

When opening the Puls Account you will be requested to set the scope of your subscription. By default all Services shall appear as enabled.
‍
The list of the Services to which you subscribed is available to you in the Settings section of your Puls Account. Should you choose not to subscribe to any or all of the Services you have to disable them in the Settings section.

The fees you are paying for the chosen Services are available to you in the Settings section.

We may, at our sole discretion, change the subscription fees at any time.

Unless you are a new user in the trial period, you agree to the fees by activating the relevant service when you open your Pulse account or in the Settings section. The fees are valid until the end of your subscription period. If you are in the trial period as a new user, you agree to the fees if you decide to continue using our system after the trial period.

Notwithstanding the fact that we account for your subscriptions live, you pay for the Services provided, not in advance. The fees become payable in the end of each day of use of each relevant Service. Unless we notify you otherwise in your Puls Account we will debit your account in the end of each month.

You will find the invoices for the Services with the description of the Services provided in your Puls Account.

At present, there is only one option to pay for the Services - SEPA direct debit. When opening the Puls Account you will be requested to fill in and consent to SEPA mandate to enable us charging the fees. If at the time of opening the Puls Account we offer the new users a trial period you may cancel filling out the SEPA mandate form but the request to provide it shall appear later at the moment the trial period expires.

After the term of your subscription expires you will be requested to subscribe to the Services again, in which case the fees that are valid at the time of the new subscription shall be applied.

You are free to unsubscribe from any Service at any time:

• by disabling the Services in the Settings section of your Puls Account;
• by terminating your Puls Account,

provided, however, that you will not be entitled for a refund. We accept payments on the premise that the payee is authorized to make payments and there will be no refunds available on the grounds of paying by an unauthorized or unduly authorized party or on the face of the fact that the payment was made from a personal bank account.
‍
Please note that if you chose to turn off the Planner you will not be charged for this Service, however, in the event you upload your data into the Planner, we will automatically recommence charging for the Service.
‍
You will see the subscription fees that are currently applicable to the relevant Services in the subscription dialog with the list of the Services and in your Puls Account page.

If on the basis of your bank data our system qualifies your financial position as valid for incurring a debt it will assign you a credit limit which shall be the maximum amount that is available to you as a loan.

If you wish to take the loan you may request it by setting the amount of the loan within the issued credit limit and pressing the “Apply for a loan” button.

Even though the loans are offered by us, we are not a bank. In the matters of the assessment of your financial situation and provision of the loans we are a broker pursuant to §34c GewO for the lender - Montold SME Lending Fund GmbH & Co KG (HRA 55049 B, Lietzenburger Straße 107, 10707 Berlin), a registered in Germany domestic specialized closed-ended fund in the meaning of §1(6) KAGB (the “Fund”). The Fund is a BaFin registered (Reg. Nr. 70162347) alternative investment fund.

The lender is the Fund that is acting through its external management company Montold Asset Management GmbH (HRB 212227 B, Lietzenburger Straße 107, 10707 Berlin, “Montold”). Montold is also registered by BaFin (Reg. Nr. 10156973).

The calculation and refreshing of a credit limit are operations that consume human and machine resources.

After pressing the “Apply for a loan” button you will be contacted by our manager to arrange for the online video identification pursuant to the requirements of the the Tax Code and identification according to the Anti money Laundering law. Please note that all individuals owning more than 25% of the shares or more than 25% of the voting rights or who exercise control by other means must be identified. In the event the execution on your part is carried out by a representative acting on the basis of the power of attorney that is not notarised, the identification of the individual who signed the power of attorney shall be necessary.

In the event the online video is successful you will receive the draft loan contract which you will have to sign and send back to the sender. You will have the electronic copy of your contract signed by the lender within 24 hours.

You are free to turn off the credit limit. If you turn off the Planner you will not be charged for it.  PLEASE NOTE THAT IN THE EVENT YOU ARE THE BORROWER OF A LOAN FROM THE LENDING FUND THAT IS DUE AND PAYABLE YOU MAY NOT UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THE ACCOUNT AGGREGATION SERVICES, THE CREDIT LIMIT MAINTENANCE SERVICES, THE BROKERAGE SERVICES. The unsubscription from these Services shall become available after the full repayment of the loan.

In the event of the changes of, amendments to, or introduction of the new Terms (the “Changes”) your access to the Aggregation Services, the Credit Limit Services and the Brokerage Services shall be limited until you agree to the Changes. If you disagree with the proposed Changes, you shall be unable to update your bank accounts in the system, which failure to update is an event of default under your loan agreement. Therefore, please consult your loan agreement and get in touch with your sales manager.

By agreeing to these TCS you are hereby granting us:

• non-exclusive, non-transferable, for the time of the provision of Services and for the territory of the EU right and license to access and use the data retrieved by you from your bank account(s) and placed in our system for the purposes of providing the Services; and
• non-exclusive, transferable, irrevocable, unlimited in time and territory right and license to use the data retrieved by you from your bank account(s) and stored in our system for the purposes of creation of and developing the machine learning software and for scientific purposes, provided that any such data is anonymized and disassociated with any specific individual or body corporate.

We are the data controller and operator of this website.
Our purpose is to make sure your personal data (the “PD”) cannot be read, copied, altered or deleted by unauthorized person while it is being processed, used or transmitted or after it has been stored.

If possible at all, we would like to avoid anything that would require:

• us to collect your PD, or 
• you to provide us your PD.

Nevertheless, certain data, their possible combinations, processing, and use may fall within the sphere of data protection rules enforced by applicable laws and regulations.

We are obliged and we are exercising reasonable efforts to make sure that in the event we receive your PD or bits of data that in combination with other data that we already possess qualify them as PD there are terms on which we lawfully receive, store, process, and use them.

For the purposes of this DPP the PD means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person directly or indirectly. Thus, the four elements that make it possible to establish if the information is the PD: 

• “natural person” means that data about legal entities is not PD;

• “any information” means:

  • any:

    • objective information (e.g., weight or colour of the hair of the natural person);
    • subjective information (i.e. any form of evaluation of the natural person), and 
  • in any format (e.g., video, audio, numerical, graphical);

• “an identified or identifiable” means that:

  • any natural person who can be distinguished from others (sometimes the number of data points that provide this possibility matters) is identifiable. This includes:

    • the name;
    • the biometric data (including photograph or video); 
    • online identifiers (IP addresses, cookie identifiers, other identifiers such as radio frequency identification (RFID) tags, any info that can identify a specific device); and
    • characteristics that are specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of the natural person;

  • the identification may be performed:

    • directly - if the natural person can be identified using only the information that is in your possession, and

    • indirectly - if the natural person can be identified:

      • by using other information that is available or can be reasonably accessed from another source (“reasonably” means for example, that since the methods of identification develop the data must be continuously reviewed in order to prevent indirect identification as a result of combination of a new method with the information collected);
      • by a third party using your data in combination with the data in possession of that third party;

• “relating to” (an identifiable natural person) means that the content of the data matters (e.g., if the information is processed to learn something about that specific natural person or if the processing of this information has an impact on that natural person). The records that contain information: 

  • that is clearly points at the specific natural person (e.g., medical history);
  • that describes activities of the natural person (e.g., a bank statement),

  may be considered to be “related to” that natural person.

The majority (if not all) of the Services shall remain or become inaccessible to you if you choose not to provide us with your consent to receive from you, store and process your PD or any bits of information that in combination with other bits of information that we may already have qualify for PD or revoke the consent that you have already granted.

PD IS ANY DATA THAT (I) RELATE TO AN IDENTIFIABLE INDIVIDUAL; (II) ARE USED FOR LEARNING OR MAKING DECISIONS ABOUT AN INDIVIDUAL; (III) WHEN PROCESSED, MAY HAVE AN IMPACT ON AN INDIVIDUAL. BOTH THE DATA AND ITS PROCESSING ARE SUBJECT TO DATA PROTECTION RULES.

OTHER THAN IN THE COURSE OF THE IDENTIFICATION PROCEDURE THAT IS MANDATORY UNDER THE APPLICABLE ANTI MONEY LAUNDERING LAWS FOR THE PURPOSE OF IDENTIFICATION OF THE INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE BEHIND THE CORPORATE VEIL WE DO NOT REQUEST ANY INFORMATION TO LEARN ABOUT SPECIFIC INDIVIDUALS. WHEN YOU PROVIDE YOUR NAME, EMAIL, PHOTOGRAPH, VIDEO IMAGE, VIOCE YOU ARE VOLUNTARY PROVIDING US YOUR PD.

To the extent permitted by law we may disclose any information we have about you (including your identity) if we determine that such disclosure is necessary in connection with any investigation or complaint regarding your use of the site, or to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be causing injury to or interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally) our rights or property, or the rights or property of other users of the site. We reserve the right to disclose any information that we deem necessary to comply with any applicable law, regulation, legal process or governmental request. We also may disclose your information if we determine that applicable law requires or permits such disclosure, including exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection or anti money laundering purposes.

You acknowledge and agree that we may preserve (including, without limitation, in the event of termination of the account) any transmittal or communication by you with us through the site or any Service offered on or through the site, and may also disclose such data if required to do so by law or we determine that such preservation or disclosure is reasonably necessary:

• to comply with legal process;
• to prove the fact of you and us being in the relationship or in order to otherwise enforce these Terms or any part thereof;
• to respond to claims that any such data violates the rights of others, or
• to protect the rights, property or our safety, safety of our employees, users of or visitors to the site, and the public.

YOU MAY NOT TRANSFER YOUR USERNAME AND PASSWORD TO YOUR PULS ACCOUNT TO ANY THIRD PARTY.

You are entirely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of the information you hold for your account, including your login and password. You are thus responsible for any and all activity that occurs under your account as a result of your failing to keep this information secure and confidential.

You may be held liable for losses incurred by us or any other user of or visitor to the site due to someone else using your username, password or account as a result of your failing to keep your account information secure and confidential.

You may not use anyone else’s username, password or account at any time without the express permission and consent of the holder of that username, password or account. We cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with these obligations.

In the event pursuant to these Terms the use of this site by you amounts to your legal status of the representative of a legal entity the information regarding your operations which becomes available to us and our analysis shall be always protected by the following confidentiality provisions.

Any information which is disclosed by one party to these Terms (disclosing party) to the other (receiving party), either directly or indirectly, whether in writing, verbally or otherwise, including, without limitation, any materials, software, technical processes, object and source codes and product development techniques, trade secrets, know-how, formulas, processes, algorithms, ideas, strategies, business acquisition plans, pricing policies, customer lists, inventions, data, designs, flow charts, drawings, proprietary information, employment records, business and marketing plans, financial or operational information and all other non-public information, relating to current or future business plans or operations shall be deemed confidential (the “Confidential Information”).

Once the user starts to pay for the Services the complete deletion of all information about the user is no longer possible. We are required to keep the information about our contractual counterpart by force of law.

Confidential Information does not include any information:

• that was publicly available prior to its disclosure by the disclosing party or thereafter becomes publicly available without any violation of these Terms by the disclosing party; 
• that was available to the receiving party on a non-confidential basis prior to its disclosure by the disclosing party; 
• that becomes available to the receiving party from a person other than the disclosing party (including its directors, employees or representatives) and such person is not, to the knowledge of the receiving party, subject to any legally binding obligation to keep such Confidential Information in confidence; or 
• that is approved for use or release by written authorization of the disclosing party. 

The Confidential Information shall be kept confidential and shall not be disclosed, in whole or in part, by the receiving party to any person other than to those of its affiliates and its and their respective officers, directors, employees, contractors, counsel, advisors, agents and other representatives (“Representatives”) on a need-to-know basis. All affiliates of a receiving party and all representatives of a receiving party or its affiliates shall be deemed as “receiving party” in the meaning of this. 

Both we and you respectively:

• are under obligation to procure that all persons or entities so deemed “receiving parties” will be bound by the terms and conditions of these Terms or equivalent confidentiality and non-disclosure obligations;
• shall be responsible for any breaches of these Terms by any of its affiliates and any Representatives of a receiving party or its affiliates.

The receiving party shall use the same degree of care to prevent disclosure of the Confidential Information that it uses for its own information of like importance; but in no case less than reasonable care.

We are under no obligation to return any Confidential Information to you.

The information about you as a party to the contract with us as well as about your bank accounts, operations and counterparties shall be stored by us to the extent necessary to comply with the legal requirements.

Your bank account data will be stored in the finAPI database (not accessible to us) for a time period of at least 14 months.

By consenting to attend the online video identification you agree to be recorded, to us making and storing your image and the images of your documents (of which fact we will remind you).  If at the beginning of the identification you prohibit the video recording your request for the loan shall be deemed cancelled immediately. Such cancellation does not preclude you from requesting the loan again later on.

We shall notify you of available time slots from which you will have to choose the one that you will be able to attend. Be prepared to spend around 30 minutes of your time for your identification and:

• you have to make available:

  • the managing director (or all of them if they may act only jointly) of the borrower (and of all guarantors, if applicable) or the representative acting on the basis of the notarized power of attorney;
