The e-mail address and the password defined at the time of User’s registration may be changed by User at any time and without limitation by accessing User’s own reserved area on Website.
- The services provided by HUDI are private and personal, therefore, User undertakes to diligently protect such credentials, not to disclose them, nor to pass them on to third parties and to keep them confidential, in order to prevent unauthorised access thereto.
- User shall be held personally responsible for any data declared in the registration form or subsequently provided and shall bear the consequences that may result from issuing false statements. In case of false statements provided by User in the registration form, HUDI reserves the right to refuse or remove User access to the Website and the Services without any notice or explanation and without prejudice to the right to take appropriate legal actions.
- All the information provided by Users to HUDI will be handled accordingly to HUDI Privacy Policy.
- The profile created by User on Website shall be deemed as strictly reserved to User himself/herself, not authorising access to third parties nor transferring or granting third-party rights arising therefrom. User shall maintain his/her own personal data on its Website profile constantly updated and accurate, by modifying such data directly through Website or by contacting HUDI.
- All the above is better described, also with its detailed operation methods, in the F.A.Q.s made available on Website, in specific Services Annexes and related documents/contents. Links to third-party materials (including without limitation websites) may be provided as a convenience but are not controlled by HUDI.

In the event User believes his/her HUDI account has been compromised, User shall contact HUDI immediately at the contact details mentioned above.
4 – Consideration, Business model, Cryptocurrencies risks and taxes
- The sole registration within the Website and access to User’s personal area are free of charge and without any remuneration. The possible Participation to the Services is based on User’s permission and provision of personal data – for more information about the specific Services and what those Services imply, User may read F.A.Q.s and Annexes on Website.
- Services offered by HUDI on Website may involve a specific Consideration, which varies depending on the Service offered. This Consideration, as well as possible charges, royalties and criteria for their calculation, will be specified in the access pages of each Service as well as in the relevant Annexes to the Contract and in the F.A.Q.s.
- The business model of Services is based on exchange and reward: User provides personal data to HUDI; HUDI processes and offers them in the data market, in relationship with third-parties, in order to monetize from them. If personal data are deemed valuable by the market, HUDI will collect a revenue from their exploitation and will share this revenue with User as a reward for his/her authorization to monetize his/her personal data . User acknowledges that he/she has no right to a guaranteed reward. Such reward will be granted only if and after HUDI has received it from User’s personal data exploitation.
- Thus, User does not pay a price for using HUDI Services but provides his/her personal data to HUDI thereby monetizing the economic value of his/her personal data. User’s personal data (and/or other data or metadata, if applicable) shall be used by HUDI for monetizing purposes only in connection and in compliance with Service-specific terms and conditions, as specified in this Contract, Annexes, F.A.Q.s and other documents/contents available on Website, where User may find information about the complete data cycle (collection, usage, pseudonymization and anonymization, security measures, data transfers) and User’s rights. User’s personal data shall be used by HUDI to the extent reasonably necessary to market them as authorized in any specific Service.
- HUDI shall use commercial reasonable efforts to market and monetize User’s personal data but HUDI is not able to guarantee any specific result or minimum royalty to User. HUDI’s ability to monetize such data depends on the data market and third-parties’ interest in those data such as Data Buyers, Data Providers, etc. Further details on User’s personal data usages and third parties’ involvement are available in HUDI Privacy policy and Annexes, F.A.Q.s and other documents/contents on Website.
- When User earns Royalties from the usage of his/her personal data – as regulated in Service- specific Annexes, F.A.Q.s and other explanatory document, the receipt and the calculation of the said Royalties is accounted in User’s Website personal account and by e-mail notice. HUDI shall report in these account statements any calculation: revenue collected, possible charges and expenses, applicable taxes, percentages or commissions due to HUDI or relevant third-parties, clearly stating the net amount due to User. The royalty’s calculation scheme shall be always available to User in Annexes, F.A.Q.s and other explanatory document/content on Website, even prior to his/her Participation to any Services.
- Royalties’ payment shall be performed by HUDI within the timeframe stated in Annexes, F.A.Q.s and other explanatory document/content on Website about specific Services.
- Payments shall not be performed by HUDI in “fiat” currency (euros, dollars, etc.) or legal tenders but in supported Cryptocurrencies, as stated in Annexes, F.A.Q.s and other relevant explanatory document/content on Website. Rate, availability, functionality, name and any other details about supported Cryptocurrency used by HUDI are explained in the same way on Website. Any Cryptocurrency earned by User shall be stored and reported in his/her Website account, under a specific “Wallet” section, regulated by a specific Annex as any other associated user tool provided by HUDI or third-party. HUDI is not a depository institution and the aforementioned Wallet is not a deposit account; HUDI has no right to use any Cryptocurrencies present in User’s Wallet. This Wallet is not insured by any national or international or federal or private insurance companies or entities. HUDI shall bear no interest for the amount reported in the Wallet.
- User acknowledges that the value of Cryptocurrencies is highly variable, depending on market trends, software protocols which govern the operation of Cryptocurrencies, their operating rules and other factors beyond HUDI’s control. HUDI has no liability or influence on these parameters, User shall not claim anything against HUDI about them. User acknowledges and accepts the risks arising from these factors and agrees that HUDI is not responsible for them or any changes to them and not liable for any loss of value that User may experience as a result of such factors. HUDI shall notify Users on Website and by e-mail of any income as soon as credited to User, stating the current value in Cryptocurrencies. Royalties due to User by HUDI are deemed as “pecuniary debts” of an amount determined in a currency that is not legal tender in any State – as allowed by Sections 1278 and 1279 Italian Civil Code.
- The tax treatment of all or some Cryptocurrencies could be uncertain, and it is User’s sole responsibility to determine what taxes, if any, may arise from Contract’s transactions, and for reporting and paying the applicable taxes. User should conduct his/her own due diligence and consult advisors before making any decision about Cryptocurrencies use.
- If – to the extent permitted by HUDI from time to time – User grants express permission to a third party to access or connect to his/her HUDI account(s), either through the third party’s product or service or through Website, User acknowledges that granting permission to a third party to take specific actions on his/her behalf does not relieve him/her of any of responsibilities under this Contract, nor HUDI is responsible for any third-party activity using User’s account.
5 – Participation to Services
- Any Participations to any Services shall be validly subscribed only by User who has entered into this Contract. Agreement of each Participation shall be deemed as a single Annex to this Contract and have the same effect. It is understood that any event regarding each Participation (e.g., termination, withdrawal, amendment, etc.) shall affect – unless otherwise indicated by HUDI – only the specific Participation concerned, without affecting the general validity and effects of this Contractor of other ongoing Participations.
- Each Participation shall be deemed as completed after selection and insertion of further data (if required) on Website, by clicking on specific confirmation checkboxes.

If User wishes to withdraw from/terminate the contractual relationship with HUDI as a whole, see Section 8 below.

6 – Agreement – Amendments

No prior registration is needed to this aim nor prior log in is required for registered User. In any event, the visitor shall be requested to log in (as a registered User) or to register as a User prior to the Participation’s acceptance; failure to do so will not result in any legal obligation being established between the parties. It is also understood that the Registration does not in itself entail any obligation to enjoy the Services or any other kind of User obligation, except for the processing of personal data and the cookies as specified in the relevant provisions accepted by User at the time of the Registration (available on Privacy policy and Cookie policy).

In any case, any amendment shall be effective from the moment User explicitly accepts such changes upon the next access to the Website or the next Participation. HUDI shall properly send a confirmation e-mail to User, which shall be deemed as acceptance of a new and different contractual proposal. In the event User does not accept the new terms, User shall not be allowed to make any subsequent Participations nor to enjoy the Services.
- All of the above is better described, also with its detailed operation methods, in the F.A.Q.s section of Website, which shall form an integral part of the Contract.
