GENERAL CONTRACTUAL CONDITIONS
1. SCOPE AND APPLICATION
1.1. Purpose and scope. These General Terms and Conditions (“General Terms”) constitute the regulatory framework for contracting the services offered by ONE PLATE FUTURE, S.L. (hereinafter, “PLATO LIMPIO”) by any natural or legal person acting within the scope of their business or professional activity (the “Client(s)”), whether via PLATO LIMPIO’s website or electronic channels, or by accepting a specific quotation. Hereinafter, PLATO LIMPIO and the Client shall be referred to collectively as the “Parties” and individually as a “Party”.
1.2. B2B contracting. The Client expressly declares that the contracting is carried out in a professional capacity, in relation to its economic activity; therefore, consumer protection regulations shall not apply.
1.3. Special Conditions. If the Parties agree in writing on specific conditions (the “Special Conditions”) that expressly amend or supplement these General Terms, and any discrepancy arises, the Special Conditions shall prevail.
1.4. Capacity to contract. The Client acknowledges that it has the legal capacity to be bound by these General Terms and, where applicable, the Special Conditions, which together form an integral part of the agreement between PLATO LIMPIO and the Client (the “Agreement”).
1.5. Formation of the Agreement. The Agreement shall be deemed executed and fully effective when the Client gives consent by any valid means (electronic confirmation, acceptance of the quotation, or commencement of use of the services), as of which time these General Terms shall be deemed accepted in full and without reservation, and the Client declares to have read and understood them prior to contracting.
2. SERVICE TYPES
2.1. Service description. PLATO LIMPIO offers various services for measuring and reducing food waste, as well as advisory, consulting, and training services to improve organizations’ environmental and social impact. Its approach combines technology, data analysis, and awareness-raising to drive more efficient and sustainable resource management (the “Services”).
2.2. Service modalities. The Services may be contracted in different modalities or plans, whose features, functionalities, limitations, and commercial terms are described from time to time on the website, during the contracting process, or in the specific quotation. In general, they may take two main forms:
(a) Plans or memberships, with standardized deliverables and predefined terms (the “Plans”); and
(b) Consulting, professional advisory, or training services, provided pursuant to an individualized quotation issued by PLATO LIMPIO and accepted by the Client (the “Consulting Services”).
3. PRICE AND PAYMENT
3.1. Price. Applicable prices shall be indicated: for Plans, on the contracting page from time to time; and for Consulting Services, in the quotation accepted by the Client.
3.2. Taxes. Unless expressly stated otherwise, prices are in euros and exclusive of taxes, duties, or any other amounts that may be borne by the Client under applicable law.
3.3. Billing period. For Plans, billing is in advance for the relevant subscription term (monthly, annual, or as per the Plan). For Consulting Services, billing shall be as stated in the accepted quotation.
3.4. Payment method and timing (Plans). Payment for Plans shall be made through the electronic means enabled at the time of contracting. The applicable fees shall be charged automatically within the first five (5) days of the start of each billing cycle (per the contracted Plan) using the payment method selected by the Client. If payment by card or direct debit is selected, the Client expressly authorizes PLATO LIMPIO to make periodic automatic charges to the provided payment method.

3.6. Invoices. PLATO LIMPIO reserves the right to issue and send invoices in electronic format or any other valid format under applicable regulations.
3.7. Non-payment. Total or partial non-payment of any amounts due entitles PLATO LIMPIO to temporarily suspend the Services or, in case of continued breach, to terminate the Agreement, without prejudice to claiming outstanding amounts and damages.
3.8. Price updates. PLATO LIMPIO may update prices for active Plans, upon prior notice to the Client indicating the effective date of the new rates. The Client may terminate the Agreement before that date if it does not accept the new economic terms. Continued use of the Service after the new prices take effect implies acceptance thereof.
4. PLATFORM ACCESS AND USE
4.1. Access and use license. Contracting any Plan, and subject to compliance with and duration of the Agreement, grants the Client a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable right to access and use PLATO LIMPIO’s technology platform remotely (SaaS model) (the “Platform”).

PLATO LIMPIO shall hold the Client harmless from any liability, damage, loss, expense, or cost (“Damages”) incurred by the Client arising from third-party claims alleging that the use of such third-party software in the context of the Services infringes intellectual property or other rights. In such case, PLATO LIMPIO shall, at its discretion, replace the relevant third-party software or, if not feasible, offer an alternative solution allowing continued provision of the Services in accordance with this Agreement.

The Client is solely responsible for the truthfulness, accuracy, completeness, and updating of Client Data entered or provided via the Platform. PLATO LIMPIO will deliver the Services based on Client Data with no obligation to verify or cross-check; therefore, the effectiveness and reliability of results or analyses will depend directly on the quality and sufficiency of such data.
6.2. Client use and responsibility. The Client acknowledges that use of the Platform is under its exclusive responsibility, and that results, recommendations, or indicators obtained through it are merely indicative. PLATO LIMPIO does not guarantee specific outcomes nor accept liability for business decisions made based on them.
6.3. Aggregated use and service improvement. PLATO LIMPIO may use Client Data during the Agreement and thereafter indefinitely, together with information provided by other clients, to analyze—on an aggregated and anonymized basis—data related to sustainability practices and to identify trends and common patterns to improve Platform features, refine analytical models, and offer more accurate and useful recommendations to all clients.

Neither Party may disclose, reveal, distribute, share, or use Confidential Information for purposes other than those set forth in this Agreement without the other Party’s prior written consent.

11. TERM, RENEWAL, AND CANCELLATION / TERMINATION
Term.
-
Plans: The initial term corresponds to the subscription period chosen by the Client (monthly, annual, etc.) and renews automatically for successive periods of equal duration unless the Client gives notice of non-renewal at least fifteen (15) calendar days prior to the end of the current period.

Consulting Services: As established in the accepted quotation, understood to last until completion of the commissioned work.
The foregoing is without prejudice to obligations that, by their nature, should survive (e.g., confidentiality or data protection).
Agreement cancellation. Non-renewal must be notified by email to iescolano@netopositivo.es at least thirty (30) days prior to the renewal date. Failure to cancel within the stated period will result in automatic renewal for a new period of equal duration and terms.
Termination for breach. Either Party may terminate the Agreement early in case of material breach by the other Party, subject to prior written notice and a fifteen (15) calendar-day cure period, if curable.
If termination is due to Client breach, amounts already paid are non-refundable, and PLATO LIMPIO reserves the right to claim additional damages.
If termination is due to PLATO LIMPIO’s breach, the Client shall be entitled to a proportional refund of amounts paid for the unused period, without prejudice to other legal remedies.
