Terms of service

This is a working draft prepared ahead of general availability. It has not been reviewed by legal counsel and is not a final, binding agreement. During the early-access phase, the actual terms of engagement are whatever is agreed directly with each design partner in writing; this page describes the shape those terms are expected to take.

1. What the service is

Kodowo is middleware that ingests invoice data, normalizes it to the PINT-AE format, validates it against the official MoF mandatory field set and the Peppol PINT-AE VAT codelist, persists it to a tenant-isolated ledger, and routes it to the tenant’s own chosen MoF-Accredited Service Provider (ASP) for signing, exchange, and FTA reporting. We do not connect to Peppol or the FTA directly, and we are not ourselves an Accredited Service Provider. The tenant must hold that relationship with their chosen ASP independently.

2. Tenant responsibilities

• Tenants are responsible for the accuracy of the data they submit to the API, and for holding a valid relationship with their chosen ASP.
• Tenants are responsible for keeping their API keys confidential and for using the key-rotation flow if a key is compromised.
• A validation pass (an is_valid: true result) reflects conformance to the checks this service runs. It does not itself constitute legal advice or a guarantee that the FTA will accept the invoice.

3. Service availability

During the early-access phase, this service is offered without a published service-level agreement. An invoice is never silently dropped by design: every non-terminal outcome results in a persisted status, an audit record, and a failure webhook to the tenant, but no specific uptime commitment is made until a formal SLA is agreed with a given tenant.

4. Data handling

Data submitted through the API is handled as described in our privacy policy. We act as a processor of any personal data embedded in submitted invoices, on the tenant’s instructions.

5. Fees

No public pricing is published as of this draft. Fees, if any, during the early-access phase are agreed individually and in writing with each design partner.

6. Changes

This is a pre-launch draft. It will be reviewed by legal counsel, revised, and re-published with a real effective date before general availability.
