Terms of service
In short
1. Who we are and what the service is
The Egalis service (egalis.eu and app.egalis.eu) is provided by ADDO VISION SOLUTIONS SRL, registered office: Bucharest, Șos. Berceni 96, Monaco Towers, A9.06, Romania, trade register no. J2013010973404, EUID ROONRC.J2013010973404, VAT RO32203240 (“Egalis”, “we”; contact: office@addovision.ro, +40 722 232 481). Egalis helps companies comply with Directive (EU) 2023/970 on pay transparency: payroll import, job evaluation on the objective criteria of Art. 4, pay gap calculations, reporting, answers to workers’ information requests and the legal deadlines.
2. What Egalis is NOT
Egalis does not provide legal advice
The content of the application, the website and the generated documents is informative and operational. For the interpretation of the law in your company’s specific situation — including your member state’s implementing law — consult an employment lawyer. Decisions taken on the basis of Egalis results are yours.
3. Account, trial and subscription — B2B only
The service is offered to businesses only. The account is created self-service with your EU VAT number, validated in VIES (a 14-day full-access trial, no card), or by invitation. Plans and prices are published transparently on the pricing page and follow the Directive’s thresholds; the plan is validated against the real number of active employees in your latest import. If you exceed the plan’s employee limit you receive a non-blocking 14-day warning; after it expires, only the generation of new reports pauses — your data and existing reports remain accessible. Subscriptions are paid by card; for businesses established outside Romania the reverse charge mechanism applies (0% VAT, Art. 196 of Directive 2006/112/EC). Enterprise plans can be invoiced for bank transfer.
4. The client's responsibilities
- Accuracy of the imported data. Egalis computes on the data you provide; the correctness of your payroll exports and of the mapping you confirm at import is your company’s responsibility.
- Confidentiality of credentials and management of the roles inside your company (who is owner, HR admin, workers’ representative and so on).
- Your own obligations as data controller towards your employees (information, legal bases) — see the DPA.
5. Our responsibilities
- Hosting exclusively in the European Union.
- Versioned, reproducible legal calculations, continuously verified against a public set of numerical test vectors.
- An immutable audit log for legally relevant actions.
- Your data is never held hostage: full export (JSON) at any time from the application and permanent deletion on request, regardless of subscription status.
6. Limitation of liability
To the extent permitted by law, our total liability is capped at the amount paid by the client for the service in the last 12 months. We are not liable for fines or disputes arising from incorrect data imported by the client, from ignoring the deadlines flagged by the application, or from the client’s business decisions. The service is provided “as is”; we commit to commercially reasonable efforts for availability and defect remediation.
7. Termination
You may terminate at any time, without penalties, effective at the end of the paid period. On termination you export your data from the application; on your request we delete it permanently (the audit log is retained as legal evidence, without salary data). We may suspend accounts that violate the law or the security of the service, with notice.
8. Changes to these terms
Substantial changes are announced in the application and by email at least 15 days in advance. Continued use of the service after they take effect means acceptance; if you disagree, you may terminate under section 7.
9. Governing law
Romanian law (the provider’s seat), without prejudice to mandatory provisions of the law of the client’s member state. Disputes are settled by the competent courts of Romania.
