This may include:

  • Product information
  • Sales information
  • Customer information
  • Employee information
  • Inventory records
  • Pricing information
  • Business reports
  • Other information entered by authorized users

Data Backup

Where cloud or backup functionality is provided, Divergent POS may maintain system data according to the applicable service and technical configuration.

Customers should not rely exclusively on a POS system as their only method of preserving important business information.

For critical business records, customers are encouraged to maintain appropriate copies in accordance with their internal procedures and applicable requirements.

BIR and Regulatory Compliance

Divergent POS provides features designed to support applicable business and BIR-related requirements for Philippine businesses.

However, the responsibility for complying with applicable laws, regulations, tax requirements, permits, registrations, and reporting obligations remains with the customer.

Customers are responsible for providing accurate business and tax information required for their POS configuration.

Customers should also notify Divergent POS when relevant business information changes, such as registered business details or other information that may affect the applicable POS setup.

Divergent POS does not provide legal or tax advice. Customers should consult the appropriate government agency, accountant, tax professional, or legal adviser when they require specific compliance guidance.

System Availability

Divergent POS aims to provide reliable software services and support.

However, uninterrupted availability cannot always be guaranteed.

Service interruptions may occur because of:

  • Scheduled maintenance
  • Software updates
  • Hardware failure
  • Internet connectivity issues
  • Power interruptions
  • Third-party service interruptions
  • Telecommunications issues
  • Cybersecurity incidents
  • Government or regulatory requirements
  • Events beyond Divergent POS's reasonable control

Divergent POS will make reasonable efforts to restore affected services and minimize disruption when issues occur.

Offline Operations

Certain Divergent POS configurations may support offline transaction functionality.

Where offline functionality is available, transactions may be stored locally and synchronized when the connection is restored.

Offline functionality may depend on the customer's hardware, software version, configuration, and applicable system features.

Customers should follow Divergent POS procedures when operating offline to reduce the risk of synchronization issues.

Software Security

Divergent POS takes reasonable measures to protect its software and systems.

Customers also have an important role in maintaining system security.

Customers should:

  • Protect their login credentials
  • Use appropriate passwords
  • Restrict employee access based on job responsibilities
  • Remove inactive user accounts
  • Avoid sharing administrator credentials
  • Keep supported devices and operating systems updated
  • Avoid installing unauthorized software on POS devices
  • Report suspicious activity promptly

Customers should not attempt to bypass security controls or access areas of the software that they are not authorized to use.

Third-Party Services and Integrations

Divergent POS may support integrations with certain third-party services, payment providers, hardware, or applications.

Third-party services may have their own:

  • Terms and conditions
  • Privacy policies
  • Service fees
  • Availability requirements
  • Technical limitations
  • Support procedures

Divergent POS is not responsible for interruptions, changes, or failures caused solely by third-party services.

Integration availability may also change when a third-party provider modifies or discontinues its service.

Software Subscription and Payment

Where Divergent POS software is provided under a subscription arrangement, customers are responsible for maintaining their subscription according to the applicable payment terms.

Failure to maintain required payments may result in:

  • Suspension of certain software features
  • Restricted access
  • Temporary account suspension
  • Termination of the applicable service

Any applicable subscription fees, renewal terms, billing periods, or payment requirements will be stated in the customer's agreement, quotation, invoice, or subscription documentation.

Software Ownership

Unless otherwise stated in a written agreement, the intellectual property rights associated with the Divergent POS software, including its underlying software, design, functionality, and related materials, remain with Divergent POS or the applicable rights holder.

Purchasing or subscribing to Divergent POS does not transfer ownership of the underlying software or intellectual property to the customer.

  • Interfere with system operations
  • Attempt to compromise system security
  • Reverse engineer or decompile the software

  • Misuse customer or employee information
  • Use the system in a manner that violates applicable laws

Divergent POS may restrict or suspend access when there is a reasonable basis to believe that the software is being misused or that system security is at risk.

Software Termination

Software access may end when a subscription, license, or applicable agreement expires or is terminated.

Upon termination, customers may lose access to certain software features or services.

Customers are responsible for obtaining and preserving any business records they are entitled to retain before the end of their service where applicable.

Any data retention, export, or deletion procedures will be handled according to the applicable agreement and Divergent POS's technical capabilities.

Limitation of Responsibility

Divergent POS will make reasonable efforts to provide reliable software and support.

However, software services may occasionally experience errors, interruptions, delays, or compatibility issues.

Divergent POS is not responsible for issues caused by circumstances outside its reasonable control, including third-party services, internet connectivity, customer hardware, power interruptions, unauthorized modifications, or improper use of the software.

Nothing in this policy is intended to exclude or limit any rights or responsibilities that cannot legally be excluded under applicable Philippine law.
