1. Welcome

1.1 Introduction

We're thrilled to have you use Finsweet's Products and Services. This document outlines the User Responsibility for Compliance and Security ("Terms") that govern your use of our offerings. 

Finsweet Inc. is the company behind all the awesome Products and Services you're using. When we say "Finsweet," "we," "us," or "our" in these Terms, we’re talking about Finsweet Inc. When we say "you" or "Customer," we mean you - the individual or company using our Products and Services.

By using Finsweet's Products and Services, or accessing our content on any platform, you're agreeing to these Terms, so give them a thorough read. If you're accepting for a company or other legal entity, you're confirming you've got the authority to do so. In that case, "you" means that entity. By accepting these Terms, you're confirming that you have the right to enter into this agreement, either for yourself or on behalf of your company. If you're acting on behalf of a company, you're promising us that you have the authority to bind that company to these Terms.

Capitalized terms not defined in these Terms have the meaning given to them in our other applicable agreements referenced herein.

1.2 Products and Services

Finsweet’s “Products and Services” include:

• Products, like Wized, Attributes, Client-First, Components, and CMS Bridge 
• Content, like SEO Guide, tutorials, documentation, educational resources, affiliate links, this website (Finsweet.com and any subdomain of Finsweet.com), and YouTube content.
• Tools, like Finsweet Extension, Support Forum, Open Source initiatives, code snippets, and repos

In our Agreement, we may say “Products” or  “Services” to represent Products and Services. We’re always innovating at Finsweet, so this list of Products and Services may change. Any future Products that we create at Finsweet will also be covered under these Terms and the Agreement.

1.3 Applicable terms

When you use Finsweet's Products and Services, you're agreeing to these Terms, as well as our Acceptable Use Policy, Intellectual Property Policy, Cookie Policy, and any other applicable agreements or policies referenced on website’s legal pages (collectively, the "Agreement"). You can find these applicable agreements and policies at Finsweet.com/legal/home. If you're using specific Finsweet Products or Services, additional terms may apply—we'll make sure to let you know about those.

Remember, these Terms apply from the moment you start using our Products and Services until you decide to stop using them or your subscription ends.

Please take the time to read through this Agreement carefully. By using Finsweet's Products and Services, you're indicating that you understand and accept these terms. If something doesn't make sense or you don't agree with part of it, please don't use our Products and Services until we've had a chance to clarify things for you.

We know that was a lot of legal language, but it's important stuff. Here's what it means in simpler terms:

1. By using our Products and Services, you're agreeing to all our terms.
2. If you don't agree, you can't use our stuff.
3. You're promising us you have the authority to agree to these terms.
4. If you're agreeing on behalf of a company, you're confirming you have the power to do so.

2. Your responsibility

Finsweet Products are designed to provide you the tools to enhance your web development experience. While our tools offer powerful features for building compliant and secure websites, it's crucial to understand your role in their implementation.

Our Products provide capabilities for creating compliant and secure components on your website, but proper implementation of compliance and security is your responsibility.

3. Specific examples

3.1 Wized

Wized's configurator enables you to write JavaScript. Like many web technologies, JavaScript can be dangerous if used incorrectly. Your responsibilities include:

• Ensuring security when making requests
• Properly handling and protecting API keys
• Safeguarding end users' data
• Implementing appropriate authentication and authorization measures
• Conducting regular security audits of your Wized applications
• Ensuring compliance with relevant data protection regulations

3.2 Finsweet Components: Cookie Consent

Our Cookie Consent tool provides features for creating GDPR-compliant implementations. Skipping steps or incorrectly following directions may result in a non-compliant website. Your responsibilities include:

• Ensuring correct setup and proper implementation of components
• Understanding the scripts on your website and how they handle cookies
• Maintaining accuracy and completeness of your own cookie policies
• Properly obtaining and respect user consent
• Regularly auditing consent management processes and new scripts added to the website

4. Maintaining compliance

To maintain security and compliance, we recommend regular audits of your projects that use Finsweet Products. For example, it’s your responsibility to make sure Finsweet Cookie Consent Component continues to follow GDPR regulations after you’ve made updates to your website.

Remember, while we provide the tools, but not any guarantee that your finished project will be compliant or secure. Security and compliance of your project ultimately depends on your implementation and is your responsibility.
