You understand that all information contained in Customer Data is the sole responsibility of the person from whom such Customer Data originated.

This means that Customer, and not Supplier, is entirely responsible for all Customer Data that is uploaded, posted, transmitted, or otherwise made available through the Motamo Services, as well as for any actions taken by the Suppliers or other Customers or Users or third parties as a result of such Customer Data.

The Supplier has no obligations to monitor the use of or ensure that the Customer Data does not infringe upon the intellectual property rights of other Customers, Users, or third parties. Customer or User (as the case may be) is solely responsible for securing all necessary rights to the Customer Data.

7.3 Unlawful Customer Data.

The Supplier is not obliged to pre-screen, monitor, or filter any Customer Data or acts of its processing by the Customer in order to discover any unlawful nature therein.

  • notify the Customer of such unlawful Customer Data;
  • demand that the Customer bring the unlawful Customer Data into compliance with these Terms and applicable law;
  • temporarily or permanently remove the unlawful Customer Data from the Web Site or Account, restrict access to it, suspend it or delete it.

If Supplier is presented convincing evidence that the Customer Data is not unlawful, Supplier may, at its sole discretion, restore such Customer Data, which was removed from the Account or access to which was restricted. In addition, in the event Supplier believes in its sole discretion Customer Data violates applicable laws, rules or regulations or these Terms, Supplier may (but has no obligation), to remove such Customer Data at any time with or without notice.

Motamo OÜ as the data processor will assist the Customer or Vendor as the data controller in meeting the Customer’s or Vendor’s obligations under Regulation (EU) 2016/679, providing subject access, and allowing data subjects to exercise their rights under Regulation (EU) 2016/679.

7.4 Compelled Disclosure.

Supplier may disclose a Customer’s or Vendors’ confidential information to the extent compelled by law to do so. In such instance, Supplier will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Customer or Vendor with prior notice of the compelled disclosure (to the extent legally permitted) and Customer or Vendor shall provide reasonable assistance, at its cost, if Customer or Vendor wishes to contest the disclosure. If Supplier is compelled by law to disclose Customer’s or Vendors’ confidential information as part of a civil proceeding to which Supplier is a party, and Customer or Vendor is not contesting the disclosure, Customer or Vendor will reimburse Supplier for its reasonable cost of compiling and providing secure access to that confidential information.
