These Terms apply to all visitors, users, and others who access the Service, whether as a Business Operator, Consumer, or anonymous visitor. Supplementary terms (e.g., a Business Data Processing Agreement) may apply to specific features and will be presented at the time of activation.

To use certain features of the Service, you must register for an account. You agree to:

  • Provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration
  • Maintain and promptly update your account information
  • Maintain the security of your password and accept responsibility for all activities under your account
  • Notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account

You must be at least 18 years old to create a Business Operator account. Consumers must be at least 16 years old, or have parental consent where required by local law.

5.2 Business Operators

As a Business Operator, you are responsible for the accuracy of your business listings, product descriptions, pricing, availability, and the fulfillment of orders placed by Consumers through your storefront. You represent that you have the legal authority to offer the goods and services you list, and that your business operations comply with all applicable local laws and regulations.

You are responsible for managing your team members’ access levels and permissions. Actions taken by staff members you invite are your responsibility.

5.3 Consumers

As a Consumer, you acknowledge that transactions are between you and the Business Operator. Cronos facilitates the booking and payment process but is not a party to the underlying transaction unless explicitly stated. Refund and cancellation policies are set by each Business Operator, subject to applicable consumer protection laws.

6.Subscription Plans & Billing

6.1 Plans

We offer multiple subscription tiers with varying features and limits:

  • Angel — Entry-level plan for small businesses starting at €25/month
  • Custom VA — Enhanced features for growing businesses at €275/month
  • On Premise — Enterprise solutions with custom pricing

Plan features, limits, and pricing are subject to change with at least 30 days’ notice.

6.2 Billing

Subscription fees are billed in advance on a monthly or annual basis, depending on your selected billing cycle. All fees are quoted in Euros (EUR) unless otherwise specified. You authorize us to charge your designated payment method for all fees incurred.

If a payment fails, we will notify you and provide a reasonable grace period (typically 7 days) to update your payment method before downgrading or suspending your account.

6.3 Free Trials & Promotional Offers

We may offer free trials or promotional pricing from time to time. Unless you cancel before the trial period ends, your account will automatically convert to the selected paid plan. Trial terms will be clearly disclosed at sign-up.

6.4 Refunds

Subscription fees are non-refundable except where required by applicable law. If you cancel, you retain access until the end of your current billing period. No partial-month refunds are issued.

6.5 Plan Changes

You may upgrade or downgrade your plan at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately with prorated billing. Downgrades take effect at the start of your next billing period. If a downgrade reduces your plan limits below your current usage, we will notify you and provide guidance on adjusting your configuration.

7.Marketplace & Transaction Terms

7.1 Role of Cronos

Cronos operates as a technology platform that connects Business Operators with Consumers. We are not a party to the transactions between Business Operators and Consumers, except where explicitly stated. We do not own, control, or manage the goods and services listed by Business Operators.

7.2 Business Operator Obligations

Business Operators using the platform to sell goods or services agree to:

  • Set accurate pricing, including applicable taxes and fees
  • Honor confirmed bookings and orders in a timely manner
  • Clearly communicate cancellation and refund policies on their storefront
  • Comply with all applicable consumer protection, tax, and e-commerce laws in their jurisdiction
  • Respond to Consumer inquiries within a reasonable timeframe

7.3 Consumer Obligations

Consumers using the platform to purchase goods or services agree to:

  • Provide accurate information when placing orders or making bookings
  • Honour confirmed reservations and attend booked appointments
  • Review the Business Operator’s cancellation and refund policies before completing a transaction
  • Raise disputes or refund requests with the Business Operator in the first instance

7.4 Disputes Between Users

Disputes arising from transactions between Business Operators and Consumers should be resolved directly between the parties. We may, at our discretion, assist in mediation but are not obligated to do so. If a dispute cannot be resolved, either party may pursue remedies available under applicable law.

8.Right of Withdrawal

As an EU consumer, you have a statutory right of withdrawal of 14 days under EU Directive 2011/83/EU. This allows you to withdraw from a distance contract without giving reasons within 14 days of receiving the goods or concluding the service contract.

8.1 Scope

The right of withdrawal applies to most distance sales of goods and services. However, certain types of contracts are excluded from the right of withdrawal under Art. 16 of the Directive:

  • Date-specific bookings — Appointments, events, tickets, and table reservations for a specific date or period
  • Accommodation — Accommodation bookings for a specific date (Art. 16(l))
  • Transport — Transport services for a specific date
  • Customized goods — Goods made to order or personalized
  • Perishable goods — Goods with a short shelf life
  • Digital content — Supply of digital content not on a tangible medium, where execution has begun with express consent and waiver of the right of withdrawal

8.2 Exercising the Right

To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us by an unequivocal statement (e.g., an email) to support@cronos.nexus within the 14-day period. You may use the model withdrawal form set out in Annex I(B) of EU Directive 2011/83/EU.

The legal effects of exercising the right of withdrawal are governed by applicable legal provisions. Return costs are borne by the consumer, unless the Business Operator assumes these costs or failed to inform the consumer that they bear them.

8.3 Relationship with Cancellation Policies

Business Operators may set cancellation policies that are more favorable than the statutory right of withdrawal. In case of conflict, the right most favorable to the consumer prevails. Business-specific cancellation policies are displayed on each storefront before completing the transaction.

9.Fair Use Policy

Cronos is designed for real business operations. We intentionally keep our plans generous — but to ensure platform quality and availability for all customers, the following fair use guidelines apply.

9.1 AI Agent (Sky)

The Sky agent is provided for genuine business automation. Permitted use:

  • Processing customer inquiries and bookings related to your business
  • Automating routine operational tasks within your subscription scope
  • Generating business communications and responses to customers

Prohibited use:

  • Using the AI agent for purposes unrelated to your business operations
  • Automated bulk operations designed to circumvent plan limits
  • Reselling or sublicensing AI agent access to third parties
  • Intentionally generating excessive system load

9.2 Resource Limits

Plan limits on team members, locations, products, orders, and storage are calibrated for normal business usage. If your usage significantly and consistently exceeds typical patterns for your tier, we will:

  1. Reach out to understand your use case and find a solution together
  2. Recommend an upgrade to a more suitable plan if applicable
  3. In rare cases of platform impact, temporarily throttle excessive resource consumption

We will always contact you before taking any restrictive action. Our goal is to support your growth, not limit it.

9.3 API Usage

API access is for integrating Cronos with your own business systems. Permitted use includes syncing data, building custom workflows, and automating repetitive tasks. Rate limits apply per plan tier and are documented in our API reference.

Prohibited: excessive polling, scraping, reverse-engineering the API, or attempts to circumvent rate limits. Violations may result in temporary or permanent API access suspension.

9.4 Storage

File storage is for business content — product images, invoices, and documents. It may not be used for personal backup, off-platform content distribution, or storing illegal or infringing material.

9.5 Enforcement

If we identify a potential fair use issue, our process is:

  1. Contact you directly to understand the situation
  2. Work together on a solution (plan upgrade, usage adjustment, etc.)
  3. For continued violations: feature limitation or account suspension
  4. For intentional, clear-cut abuse: immediate termination without notice

If you expect an unusual usage spike — such as a large seasonal event or marketing campaign — please contact us in advance at support@cronos.nexus. We’re happy to accommodate.

10.Acceptable Use

You agree not to use the Service to:

  • Violate any applicable laws or regulations
  • Infringe on intellectual property rights of others
  • Transmit malware, viruses, or other malicious code
  • Attempt unauthorized access to our systems or other users’ accounts
  • Engage in fraudulent transactions or misrepresent your identity
  • Harass, abuse, or harm other users
  • Send spam or unsolicited communications through the platform
  • Scrape, crawl, or index the platform by automated means without written permission
  • List counterfeit goods, stolen property, or illegal services
  • Manipulate reviews, ratings, or loyalty program balances

We reserve the right to investigate and take appropriate action — including removal of content, suspension of accounts, and reporting to law enforcement — in response to violations of this section.

11.AI-Specific Terms

The platform includes an artificial intelligence agent named Sky (“AI Agent”). This section sets out specific terms applicable to the use of the AI Agent.

11.1 Not a Professional Advisor

The AI Agent does not provide legal, medical, financial, accounting, or any other professional advice. Responses and content generated by Sky are of a general nature and do not constitute a professional opinion. You should not make important decisions based solely on AI Agent output without consulting a qualified professional.

11.2 Accuracy and Hallucinations

Language models may generate incorrect, incomplete, or fabricated information (known as “hallucination”). We do not guarantee that content generated by the AI Agent will be accurate, complete, or appropriate for your specific situation. You are responsible for verifying generated information before acting on it or sharing it with third parties.

11.3 Training Data

We do not use your personal data, business content, or customer interactions to train AI models. AI model providers (OpenAI, Nebius) process requests under their own privacy policies. See Section 14 for details on data processing.

11.4 Human Review

You have the right to request human review of any significant AI-assisted decision — including account suspension, payment rejection, or termination. To request a review, contact support@cronos.nexus. A team member will review the decision and respond within a reasonable timeframe.

11.5 EU AI Act Compliance

We comply with the EU AI Act (Regulation (EU) 2024/1689) in relation to the AI Agent. AI-generated or AI-enhanced images are labeled as such when depicting photorealistic content, in accordance with Art. 50 of the Regulation. The models used are documented and available upon request.

12.Content & User Data

12.1 Your Content

You retain full ownership of all content you upload to the platform, including product images, descriptions, documents, and business data. By uploading Content, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to store, process, display, and transmit that Content solely for the purpose of providing the Service to you and your customers.

This license terminates when you delete the Content or close your account, except where retention is required by law or for legitimate backup purposes (see Section 29).

12.2 Content Standards

You are solely responsible for the Content you publish on the platform. Content must not:

  • Be unlawful, defamatory, obscene, or fraudulent
  • Infringe any third party’s intellectual property or privacy rights
  • Contain personally identifiable information of others without their consent
  • Be misleading or deceptive regarding the nature, quality, or price of goods or services

We may remove Content that violates these standards without prior notice, though we are not obligated to monitor or review Content proactively.

12.3 AI-Generated Content

Content generated by the Sky AI agent (e.g., product descriptions, communications, or summaries) is provided as a convenience. You are responsible for reviewing and approving any AI-generated Content before it is published or sent to customers. We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or appropriateness of AI-generated output.

13.DMCA / Copyright Takedown Procedure

We respect the intellectual property rights of third parties and expect our users to do the same. If you believe that content hosted on the platform infringes your copyright, you may submit a takedown notice under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and equivalent laws.

13.1 Designated Agent

We have designated an agent to receive notifications of copyright infringement. Notifications should be sent to copyright@cronos.nexus.

13.2 Notice Format

The takedown notice must include:

  • Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed
  • Identification of the infringing material on the platform (specific URL)
  • Your full contact information (name, address, email, phone)
  • A statement of good faith belief that the use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law
  • A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner
  • Your physical or electronic signature

13.3 Counter-Notice

If your content has been removed due to a DMCA notice and you believe it was removed in error or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notice to copyright@cronos.nexus. The counter-notice must include identification of the removed material, a statement of good faith belief that the removal was in error, your consent to the jurisdiction of the competent courts, and your signature.

13.4 Repeat Infringers

We will terminate the accounts of users who are repeat copyright infringers, in accordance with 17 U.S.C. § 512(i). A user is considered a repeat infringer if their activity has been subject to more than two valid takedown notices.

14.Data Protection

We are committed to protecting your personal data and processing it lawfully, transparently, and with data minimization. This section summarizes our key commitments; our Privacy Policy contains full details on what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights.

14.1 Data We Process

We process personal data necessary to provide the Service, including: name, email, phone, payment information (processed by third parties), transaction data, and content you upload to the platform. Data is stored on servers located in the European Union.

14.2 International Transfers

SuddenDev FZE operates from Dubai, UAE. Your data is stored in the European Union but may be accessed from the UAE for operational purposes. Additionally, payment processors (Stripe) process transaction data on their own infrastructure, which may be located outside the EU. These transfers are carried out under data processing agreements and standard contractual clauses.

14.3 Your Rights

As a data subject, you have the right to:

  • Access — know what data we hold about you
  • Rectification — correct inaccurate or incomplete data
  • Erasure — request deletion of your data where applicable
  • Portability — receive your data in a structured format (see Section 29)
  • Objection — object to the processing of your data for specific purposes
  • Restriction — request that we restrict processing in certain cases

To exercise these rights, contact us at privacy@cronos.nexus. We respond within 30 days.

14.4 Data Retention

We retain your personal data while your account is active. After termination, we keep data for 30 days to allow export (see Section 29). Certain data — such as transaction records, invoices, and tax documents — are retained for the period required by applicable law (typically 5 years). Encrypted backup copies may persist for up to 90 days after deletion.

14.5 Automated Decision-Making

The Sky AI agent may process customer inquiries and generate responses or content automatically. However, Sky does not make decisions producing legal effects concerning you without human oversight. Significant decisions — such as account suspension, payment rejection, or termination — are always reviewed by a human.

14.6 Data Breach Notification

If we detect a security breach affecting your personal data, we will notify you without undue delay, describing the nature of the breach, the data affected, and the measures we are taking. We will also notify the competent authorities where legally required.

14.7 Subprocessors

We use third-party providers to process data on our behalf, including infrastructure providers (EU hosting), payment processors (Stripe), and communications services. We maintain data processing agreements with each subprocessor. You can request an updated list of subprocessors by contacting privacy@cronos.nexus.

14.8 Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies to maintain sessions, remember preferences, analyze usage, and improve the Service. Essential cookies are necessary for the platform to function. Non-essential cookies require your consent, which you can give or withdraw at any time through your browser settings or our cookie banner. For more details, see our Privacy Policy.

14.9 Data Processing Agreement (DPA)

Business Operators act as data controllers for the personal data of their customers. Cronos acts as a data processor in relation to this data. We make available a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) that sets out the obligations of each party under the GDPR. The DPA is presented at the time of business account activation and forms an integral part of these Terms. To request a copy, contact legal@cronos.nexus.

15.Intellectual Property

15.1 Our IP

The Service and its original content, features, functionality, design, and underlying technology are owned by SuddenDev FZE and protected by international copyright, trademark, patent, and other intellectual property laws. The Cronos name, logo, and Sky brand are trademarks of SuddenDev FZE.

You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or lease any part of our Service or included software, nor may you reverse-engineer or attempt to extract the source code, unless applicable law permits it.

15.2 Feedback

If you provide us with suggestions, ideas, or feedback about the Service, you grant us an unrestricted, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, modify, and incorporate that feedback into the Service without obligation or compensation to you.

16.Third-Party Services & Integrations

The Service integrates with third-party providers including Stripe, OpenAI, Nebius, and others. Your use of these integrations is subject to each provider’s own terms of service and privacy policy.

We are not responsible for the availability, accuracy, or content of third-party services, nor for any damages arising from their use. If a third-party service experiences downtime or changes its terms, we will make reasonable efforts to provide alternative solutions but cannot guarantee uninterrupted functionality of integrated features.

When you connect a third-party account (e.g., a Stripe account or channel manager), you authorize us to exchange data with that service as necessary to operate the integration. You may disconnect integrations at any time through your account settings.

17.Payment Processing

17.1 Platform Payments

Payments for platform subscriptions are processed by PCI-compliant third-party processors. We do not store full payment card data on our servers. By using payment features, you agree to the applicable processor’s terms.

17.2 Consumer Payments to Businesses

Payments from Consumers to Business Operators are processed through the Business Operator’s connected payment account (e.g., Stripe Connect). Cronos facilitates the transaction but does not hold funds on behalf of either party unless required for dispute resolution.

Business Operators are responsible for any chargebacks, refunds, or payment disputes initiated by Consumers or payment processors. We may assist in providing transaction records but are not liable for payment-related losses.

17.3 Currency & Taxes

Prices are displayed in the currency configured by each Business Operator. Business Operators are solely responsible for setting correct tax rates, collecting applicable taxes, and remitting them to the appropriate tax authorities. Cronos provides tax configuration tools but does not provide tax advice or guarantee tax compliance.

17.4 Sanctions & Prohibited Transactions

Cronos relies on regulated payment processors (Stripe) for sanctions screening, Know Your Customer (KYC) verification, and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) compliance. These processors screen every transaction against applicable sanctions lists, including the US OFAC Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) List, the EU Consolidated Financial Sanctions List, and the UN Consolidated Sanctions List. Cronos does not directly process payments, move funds, or maintain custody of customer funds.

You represent and warrant that you are not (a) located in, ordinarily resident in, or organized under the laws of any country subject to comprehensive economic sanctions (including Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, and the Crimea, Donetsk, and Luhansk regions), or (b) designated on any sanctions list maintained by the US Treasury (OFAC), the EU, the UN, or any other applicable authority. If a payment processor flags or blocks a transaction for sanctions reasons, we will not process the order and may suspend or terminate your account without notice.

18.Chargebacks & Payment Dispute Process

Chargebacks are disputes initiated by a consumer through their bank or payment processor. This section establishes the process for handling chargebacks on the platform.

18.1 Business Operator Responsibility

Business Operators are responsible for chargebacks resulting from transactions in their store. Cronos may debit the chargeback amount from the Business Operator's pending balances or withhold future payments until the dispute is resolved.

18.2 Response Timeline

Business Operators must respond to chargeback notifications within the timeframe specified by the payment processor (typically 7-14 days). Cronos is not responsible for lost chargebacks due to the Business Operator's failure to respond.

18.3 Excessive Chargeback Ratio

If a Business Operator's chargeback ratio exceeds 1% of total transactions or the limit established by the payment processor, we may:

  1. Require additional documentation for future transactions
  2. Temporarily withhold payments until transaction legitimacy is verified
  3. Suspend the Business Operator's account if the ratio does not improve
  4. Terminate the account in cases of systematic fraud

18.4 Transaction Evidence

Cronos may provide transaction records, order receipts, and related communications to assist the Business Operator in disputing a chargeback. However, the primary responsibility for disputing the chargeback rests with the Business Operator.

19.Promotional Codes & Coupons

The platform allows Business Operators and Cronos to offer promotional codes and discount coupons. The following terms apply to their use:

  • Promotional codes have a validity date and expire automatically after that date
  • Coupons may be single-use per user, unless otherwise specified
  • Some coupons may require a minimum purchase amount, which will be indicated when redeeming the code
  • Cronos and Business Operators reserve the right to revoke, modify, or discontinue promotions at any time
  • Coupons have no cash value and cannot be exchanged for money
  • Cronos may void coupons obtained fraudulently or in violation of these Terms

20.Loyalty Programs & Subscription Credits

Business Operators may offer loyalty programs and subscription credit systems through the platform. These programs are operated and controlled by the respective Business Operator, not by Cronos.

  • Loyalty points and subscription credits have no cash value and cannot be transferred or exchanged outside the issuing business
  • Business Operators may modify or discontinue their loyalty program terms at any time, subject to reasonable notice to affected Consumers
  • Cronos is not responsible for the value, availability, or fulfillment of loyalty rewards or subscription benefits offered by Business Operators
  • Accumulated points or credits are forfeited if a Consumer’s account is terminated for violation of these Terms

21.Affiliate Program Terms

Cronos operates an affiliate program that allows users to refer new businesses to the platform. This section sets out the terms applicable to affiliates.

21.1 Eligibility

To participate in the affiliate program, you must have an active account in good standing and meet the eligibility criteria published on the affiliate portal. Cronos reserves the right to reject affiliate applications at its discretion.

21.2 Commissions

Commissions are calculated according to the structure published on the affiliate portal. Commissions are paid monthly, subject to a minimum payout threshold. Cronos may modify the commission structure with 30 days' notice.

21.3 Prohibited Promotional Methods

Affiliates may not:

  • Use spam, unsolicited email, or bulk messaging to promote Cronos
  • Bid on the “Cronos” brand or related terms in search engines (brand bidding)
  • Create websites or pages that impersonate Cronos
  • Use tracking cookies without user consent
  • Offer cash incentives in exchange for signups

21.4 Termination of Affiliation

Cronos may terminate a user's affiliation at any time if they breach these terms or if their activity damages Cronos's reputation. Pending commissions are paid only for valid referrals completed before termination.

21.5 Anti-fraud

Affiliate fraud — including self-referrals, fictitious referrals, or manipulation of the tracking system — results in immediate termination and loss of all pending commissions. We reserve the right to recover commissions paid for fraudulent referrals. To report fraud, contact affiliates@cronos.nexus.

22.Service Availability & Support

22.1 Uptime

We strive to maintain high availability of the Service. However, we do not guarantee uninterrupted access. Scheduled maintenance will be announced in advance where possible. We are not liable for downtime caused by factors beyond our reasonable control, including internet outages, hosting provider failures, or force majeure events.

22.2 Support

Support is provided via email at support@cronos.nexus. Response times and support channels may vary by subscription plan. Enterprise customers may be eligible for dedicated support arrangements as specified in their service agreement.

22.3 Service Level Agreement (SLA)

For Enterprise customers, we offer an SLA with a target uptime of 99.5% per month. Scheduled maintenance is performed preferably during low-activity hours and announced at least 48 hours in advance. In the event of SLA breach, Enterprise customers may request service credits proportional to the downtime. Specific SLA details are set out in the corresponding service agreement.

22.4 Accessibility

We are committed to making the platform accessible to all users, including people with disabilities. We follow WCAG 2.1 AA guidelines where feasible. If you encounter an accessibility barrier, please report it to support@cronos.nexus and we will work to resolve it. We comply with the EU Accessibility Act (Directive 2019/882) for digital products and services.

  • Beta features are provided “as is” without warranties of any kind
  • They may contain bugs, be unstable, or not function as expected
  • Data generated by beta features may not be exportable or may be lost when the feature is discontinued

25.Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, SuddenDev FZE shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or business opportunity, regardless of whether we were advised of the possibility of such damages.

Our total aggregate liability for any and all claims related to the Service shall not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim, or (b) one hundred Euros (€100).

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, fraud, or any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited by applicable law.

26.Disclaimer of Warranties

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory. We specifically disclaim all implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free, that results obtained from using the Service will be accurate or reliable, or that any defects will be corrected.

No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained from Cronos or through the Service shall create any warranty not expressly stated in these Terms.

26.1 Consumer Legal Guarantees

Nothing in these Terms affects any of your statutory rights as a consumer under applicable consumer protection laws in your jurisdiction. In particular, the provisions of this Section 26 do not exclude or limit the non-waivable rights granted to you by the laws of your country of residence.

28.2 Termination by Us

We may suspend or terminate your account immediately, without prior notice or liability, if:

  • You materially breach these Terms
  • Your account is used for illegal activity

After this period, your data will be permanently deleted from our active systems, except where retention is required by law (e.g., transaction records retained for tax compliance as described in our Privacy Policy).

Backup copies may persist in encrypted form for up to 90 days after deletion from active systems, after which they are purged.

30.1 Governing Law

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United Arab Emirates, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

30.2 Dispute Resolution

In the event of a dispute arising from these Terms or your use of the Service, we encourage you to contact us first at support@cronos.nexus to seek an informal resolution.

If informal resolution is unsuccessful within 30 days, any dispute shall be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Dubai, United Arab Emirates. For EU-resident Consumers, nothing in this section affects your right to bring proceedings in your country of residence under applicable consumer protection laws.

30.3 Online Dispute Resolution (ODR)

In accordance with Regulation (EU) 524/2013, consumers residing in the European Union may submit complaints through the European Commission’s Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) platform, available at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr. The ODR platform facilitates the out-of-court resolution of disputes between consumers and online merchants, without the need to go to court.

34.Digital Services Act (DSA) Compliance

Intermediary role. Cronos operates as an online marketplace and hosting provider under Regulation (EU) 2022/2065 (Digital Services Act). We act as an intermediary between businesses (traders) and consumers. We are not a party to contracts concluded between businesses and consumers through our platform.

Notice-and-action (Art. 16). If you believe that any content on our platform is illegal under EU or national law, you can submit a report through the “Report this business” link available on each business storefront. Your report must include: (a) the URL of the reported content, (b) a clear explanation of why you believe the content is illegal, (c) the EU member state whose law you believe is being violated, and (d) your contact information (optional but recommended).

Statement of reasons (Art. 17). When we take a moderation decision (such as restricting visibility of content or suspending a business account), we will provide the affected business with a statement of reasons including: the decision taken, the grounds for the decision, the territorial scope, the duration, and whether automated means were used.

Content moderation policy. We may restrict or remove content that violates our terms and conditions or that is illegal under applicable law. Moderation decisions are made by our team and may include: no action, flagging for monitoring, restricting content visibility, suspending a business account, or escalating to competent authorities.

Suspension policy. A business account or individual listing may be suspended when: (a) the business posts content that is illegal under applicable EU or national law, (b) the business repeatedly violates our terms and conditions despite prior warnings, (c) the business fails to respond to a verified illegal content report within a reasonable timeframe, or (d) a competent authority orders restriction of the content. Suspensions may be temporary or permanent depending on severity. A suspended business will receive a statement of reasons and may appeal the decision (see below).

Appeal and redress (Art. 17(3)). Any business affected by a moderation decision has the right to seek redress. To appeal, contact us at dsa@cronosnexus.com within 30 days of receiving the statement of reasons. We will review the appeal and respond within 10 business days. You also retain the right to seek judicial redress before the courts of the EU member state where we are established.

Trusted flaggers (Art. 22). We recognize the status of trusted flaggers as designated by the Digital Services Coordinator. Trusted flaggers receive priority handling of their reports. We may suspend or revoke trusted flagger status if the entity no longer meets the criteria or submits abusive reports.

Business obligations. Businesses using our platform agree not to post, upload, or make available any content that is illegal under EU or national law. Businesses must respond to moderation notices within the timeframe specified and comply with moderation decisions, including content removal or account restrictions. Failure to comply may result in suspension as described above.

Single point of contact. For any questions related to DSA compliance, authorities and users can contact us at dsa@cronosnexus.com. Our DSA compliance page is available at /dsa.

Transparency (Art. 15). We publish annual transparency reports with statistics on content moderation actions. These are available at /dsa/transparency.
