Contracting Terms
1. Purpose and Scope
These Contracting Terms govern the purchase and paid provision of Dialogia's digital services by DIALOGIA LABS S.L. ("Dialogia", "we"). Full identification of the provider — registered name, Tax ID (CIF), registered address and Commercial Registry entry — is set out in the Legal Notice, which these Terms incorporate by reference rather than repeat.
These Terms apply together with, and do not replace, the Terms & Conditions of Use (which govern how the platform may be used once access has been granted) and the Privacy Policy (which governs personal data). For matters of purchase, price, payment, invoicing, cancellation and withdrawal, these Contracting Terms prevail over the Terms & Conditions of Use.
These Terms cover two products, contracted in two different ways:
- Dialogia Questions, self-service: teachers sign up, pay online and activate each course without any manual step by the Dialogia team.
- Dialogia Classroom, self-service or institutional: up to 20 courses per year per institution can be bought online, course by course, just like Questions. Above that volume, or whenever the institution prefers, it is contracted through a separate institutional order or agreement that sets the commercial terms (course volume, invoicing, duration).
2. Object of the Contract
Dialogia Questions: access to an AI-guided question-answering tool, grounded in the course's teacher-validated materials, for one specific course for 180 days from activation, with anonymous student participation, up to the participant cap set out in Clause 3, and also subject to a reasonable AI usage limit per course, described in Clause 4 of the Terms & Conditions of Use.
Dialogia Classroom: access to guided AI classroom activities with teacher-controlled process visibility, for one specific course for 180 days from activation and with the student seats purchased (online purchase), or for the courses and duration agreed in the institutional order (Clause 1), and also subject, for courses bought online, to a per-course cap, and to a reasonable AI usage limit per student account, described in Clause 4 of the Terms & Conditions of Use.
Countries. Dialogia can be purchased from any country except those to which European Union restrictive measures prevent this service from being provided: currently Russia, Belarus, Iran and North Korea, as well as the occupied areas of Ukraine subject to those measures. The checkout does not accept those countries.
3. Price and Taxes
Public rates, in euros (€), at the date of this draft:
- Dialogia Questions: €60 per course, for 180 days from activation, with a hard cap of 60 student enrolments (owner's decision of 13 August 2026). Enrolments are counted when students are imported, not by how much they use the service afterwards, so there is no usage-based charge: the full amount is known at the time of purchase. Each enrolment of a student in a course counts separately: the same person in two courses takes one seat in each. Above 60, the extension is bought in blocks of 10 enrolments at €7.50 per block, paid upfront and never prorated: each block lasts until the end of that course's period, whatever day it is bought. Questions is included at no extra cost with every Dialogia Classroom course: each active Classroom course lets you activate one Questions course without paying.
- Dialogia Classroom: €100 per course, for 180 days from activation, plus €10 for each student seat. Seats are per student and per course: a student enrolled in two courses takes one seat in each. Each course also includes 2 complimentary seats at no cost. Seats are counted at enrolment; once they are full, nobody else can be enrolled until more are bought, and more can be added at any time, at €10 each, until the end of that course's period and without proration. Removing a student from the course frees their seat. Pricing is linear: every seat costs the same. Online purchase goes up to 20 courses per year per institution; above that, a negotiated institutional licence (Clause 1).
- AI usage. Each course has a monthly reasonable-use limit for AI (Clause 4 of the Terms & Conditions of Use). If a course reaches it, its assistant pauses until the 1st of the following month; the rest of the course keeps working.
The prices above are shown without Value Added Tax (IVA). Dialogia sells within Spain, in the rest of the European Union, and outside it, so the IVA treatment is not the same for every buyer: the applicable IVA is calculated and itemised separately, both at checkout and on the invoice, at the rate in force at the time of the transaction — the Spanish general rate is currently 21%, unless a reduced rate, an exemption, the reverse-charge mechanism, or a different treatment applies because the purchase is an intra-EU transaction with a valid VAT number or a purchase made from outside the European Union. This clause does not anticipate what specific treatment applies to each country or regime: whatever the law determines in each case will apply, and it will always be reflected on the invoice.
4. Payment Methods
Online purchases (Dialogia Questions and Dialogia Classroom) are paid by credit/debit card or Bizum, processed through Getnet (Santander)'s Get Checkout, a hosted payment page: Dialogia's servers never receive, see or store card numbers, CVV codes or Bizum credentials. See Clause 6 for how that redirect works.
Dialogia Classroom purchases by institutional order or agreement (Clause 1) are not paid by card or Bizum: they are invoiced and paid by bank transfer against invoice, following the institution's own procurement process. Unless the individual order/agreement states otherwise — and that order always prevails over this clause — the following terms apply:
- Invoicing. Dialogia issues an invoice at the start of each contracted semester, for the courses active in that semester and at the price agreed in the order — the public rate in Clause 3 (€100 per course + €10 per student per semester) where no institutional licence has been negotiated. Any applicable IVA is itemised separately, as set out in Clause 3. The billable number of students is the one set in the order; failing agreement, the number of students registered on the platform at the close of the institution's enrolment period.
- Payment period. 30 calendar days from the invoice date, extendable by express agreement up to the 60-calendar-day maximum allowed by Law 3/2004 of 29 December on combating late payment in commercial transactions. Where the institution is a public administration, the legal period applicable to it under Law 9/2017 on Public Sector Contracts applies, counted from approval of conformity.
- Purchase order. Accepted. If the institution needs a purchase order, a file number or an internal order code in order to process payment, it only has to tell us before the invoice is issued and it will be stated on it. Dialogia does not require a purchase order to activate the service, but it does need the signed order/agreement before opening the semester.
- Electronic invoicing. For public administrations covered by Law 25/2013 on promoting electronic invoicing, Dialogia sends the invoice in Facturae format through the relevant general entry point (FACe or its regional equivalent); the institution must supply its DIR3 codes (accounting office, managing body and processing unit) before issue.
- Advance payment. Not required by default: the service is activated once the order is accepted and paid for afterwards, against invoice. Advance payment is only requested if the order/agreement expressly provides for it.
- Late payment. Delay accrues the late-payment interest provided for in Law 3/2004. If non-payment persists, Dialogia may suspend access on at least 15 calendar days' prior written notice; suspension does not cancel the order or waive the amount already accrued, and access is restored once payment is settled.
These are default terms: they describe what Dialogia applies when the order says nothing else, drafted in line with standard procurement practice in the Spanish public and university sector. Each institution's individual order/agreement prevails over them on anything it expressly regulates.
5. Contracting Process, Step by Step
Online purchase (Dialogia Questions and Dialogia Classroom)
- The teacher completes the sign-up form and accepts these Terms of Purchase and the Privacy Policy.
- Dialogia sends a single-use verification link by email; the account cannot be used until it is opened.
- The teacher opens the purchase screen and chooses the course to activate — one of their own or a new one, created when the payment is confirmed — and, for Classroom, how many student seats to buy. They state the country they are buying from (and, if they have one, their intra-EU VAT number) and see the exact order: product, course, price, applicable VAT and total, always with its currency. Before paying they are told that the service is digital and that access is activated as soon as the payment is confirmed, and they are informed of the 14-calendar-day right of withdrawal and how to exercise it (Clause 8); to continue they must expressly accept these Terms of Purchase and the Privacy Policy by ticking a box that is not pre-ticked. They are then redirected to Getnet's hosted payment page and pay by card or Bizum.
- Getnet redirects back with a signed confirmation; Dialogia verifies it and activates the course. Anyone who buys Classroom without belonging to an institution is given their own, of which they are the only member, to host their courses.
- At the end, Getnet's page shows the transaction receipt and the course is active. Extensions (seats or blocks) are bought the same way, from the course page. If an invoice is needed, it is requested as set out in Clause 10.
Online purchase of Questions has been live since 17 September 2026 and of Classroom since 4 October 2026, with real charging through Getnet.
Dialogia Classroom by institutional order
From 20 courses per year, or whenever the institution prefers, it books a guided demo, receives a tailored proposal from the Dialogia team and, if it goes ahead, signs an individual institutional order/agreement setting the final price, course volume, invoicing terms and duration. Onboarding and teacher training follow, under the Terms & Conditions of Use.
Free trial
- Who and how long. One trial per person and per institution, lasting 14 days and with no card, for one course of Dialogia Questions or Dialogia Classroom (in Classroom, with up to 30 students). It is offered to the first 100 people for each product; once they are used up, the offer is no longer advertised. A longer trial with a code (for example, from a webinar) lasts as long as the code says.
- No charge and no automatic purchase. The trial never turns into a purchase on its own and never generates a charge. To keep going, the course is bought online (Clause 5); the 14-day right of withdrawal in Clause 8 runs from that purchase.
- Reminders. Dialogia sends an email when four days are left and on the last day.
- When it ends. The course loses its AI assistant and stops accepting new work. For 30 days you can log in to view and download anything you want; if you ask by email at hello@dialogia.org within that period, Dialogia returns the data. After 30 days, the course and its content are deleted (Privacy Policy, "Data Retention"). The account is kept.
6. Card and Payment Data Security
Get Checkout is a hosted/redirect payment gateway: the professor enters card details on Getnet's own page, never on a Dialogia page. Dialogia's server only ever requests a checkout session and later receives a signed confirmation of the outcome — never card numbers, CVV codes, or full Bizum details.
To charge the automatic renewal of a course (Clause 7) without asking for the details again, Getnet may store, with the first purchase, a reference to the card: an identifier, never the card number or the CVV code, which Dialogia does not see either. Each renewal is charged with it, for the same amount that was notified. Cancelling (Clause 9) prevents any later charge.
7. Duration, Renewal and Changes
Each course bought online, whether Dialogia Questions or Dialogia Classroom, renews automatically at the end of its 180 days, for another 180, with the same plan and the same seats and at the price then in force under Clause 3, unless the account holder states that they do not want to renew it before the deadline for doing so. Extensions (Questions blocks or additional Classroom seats) do not renew separately: they end with the course period. If, when the advance notice is sent or on the charge date, the course has no students at all, it is neither renewed nor charged: we write to you so that you can activate it whenever you need it. This is a decision by Dialogia's owner, taken on 12 August 2026 and extended to courses on 3 October 2026: automatic renewal with the advance notice the law requires, rather than never renewing.
- The prior notice has two dates, not one. Dialogia gives notice fifteen days before the expiry of the period for stating that they do not wish to renew — not fifteen days before the charge, which is a separate, later date — and the notice states that expiry, its consequences and the automatic renewal itself (Article 97.1 p) TRLGDCU). Neither the law nor this document calls those fifteen days "calendar" or "working" days.
- Cancelling is one click, without writing to anyone. It is done from the account's subscription screen, course by course, and does not withdraw access already paid for: the current period continues until its end date exactly as if it had not been cancelled. The only thing that changes is that it prevents the following renewal of that course.
- If the notice fails to go out, the renewal is not charged. This is not a remote possibility, it is a commitment: the law makes renewal conditional on the notice having been given, so a failure to send it is not merely a lost email — it is what makes charging unlawful. The periodic trigger that checks which notices are due, the notice template in the four languages, and the alarm that detects one failed to go out are already built.
- The 14-calendar-day right of withdrawal in Clause 8 applies only once, to the initial purchase, and does not reopen with each automatic renewal. Until today this document said the opposite — that it opened with every purchase — because until today there was no automatic renewal: every semester was a new contract. With renewal back, what compensates the buyer is no longer a repeated withdrawal right but the mandatory prior notice: anyone who does not want to continue knows fifteen days in advance and can avoid it at no cost or penalty.
Why this route, and not the no-renewal one. Both alternatives comply with the law. Dialogia's owner chooses automatic renewal with notice because it is the only one that requires no recurring manual work on his part and because it minimises anyone losing access without noticing. In exchange he takes on the obligation in Article 97.1 p) TRLGDCU, as worded by Ley 10/2025 of 26 December, in force since 28 December 2025 — and he takes it on with the alarm described above behind it, not as a promise with no mechanism.
Dialogia Classroom institutional agreements have their own duration and renewal terms, set out in the individual order/agreement referred to in Clause 1; this is negotiated case by case and is not standardised here.
8. Right of Withdrawal
Dialogia grants a 14-calendar-day right of withdrawal to anyone who buys Dialogia Questions or Dialogia Classroom online, without any need for justification and without penalty — whether or not the purchaser has the legal status of "consumer or user" within the meaning of Spanish and EU consumer law (Article 71 of the Consolidated Text of the General Law for the Defence of Consumers and Users, TRLGDCU, and Directive 2011/83/EU). The period runs from the conclusion of the contract, and each purchase — activating a course or an extension — has its own.
The right is not conditional: no waiver is requested, no checkbox exists to request one, and the right of withdrawal remains intact for the full 14 days even though the account is usable right away and the service begins to be provided immediately.
This is more protective than the law requires, and it is a deliberate decision by Dialogia's owner, made on 8 August 2026 — not an oversight or a half-drafted clause.
Withdrawing entitles the purchaser to a full refund of any amount already paid, with no deduction for use made of the service during those 14 days, using the same payment method as the original transaction.
To exercise it, within the 14 calendar days following the purchase, simply click “Withdraw from contract here” on the account's subscription screen and confirm; Dialogia immediately emails an acknowledgement of receipt with the date and time. It can also be communicated by email to hello@dialogia.org, stating the order or the account and the intention to withdraw. Dialogia will refund the amount within 14 days of receiving the communication.
Dialogia Classroom purchases by institutional order or agreement (Clause 1) are not governed by this clause: the cancellation and refund terms agreed in that order/agreement apply.
9. Cancellation by the User
Because courses bought online renew automatically (Clause 7), cancelling stops the following renewal of that course. It is done from the account's subscription screen, with one click and without needing to write to anyone or wait for a reply. Cancelling does not withdraw access already paid for: the current period continues until its end date exactly as if it had not been cancelled; the only thing that changes is that no new charge is generated when that date arrives.
If the cancellation is notified within 14 calendar days of the purchase, it is treated as a withdrawal and governed by Clause 8: full refund. After that period, or if the cancellation concerns a renewal already charged, cancelling stops the next period but does not by itself generate a refund of the current period already paid. The effect on stored data is governed by the Privacy Policy, not by these Terms.
These cancellation terms apply to online purchases and not to Dialogia Classroom purchases by institutional order, whose cancellation terms are set in the individual order/agreement referred to in Clause 1.
10. Invoicing
Dialogia issues an invoice to anyone who requests it. When the payment finishes, Getnet's page shows the payment receipt. If you need an invoice with your tax details — company name, tax ID and billing address — write to hello@dialogia.org with the order number shown on the receipt, and we will email it to you within seven calendar days at most. For Dialogia Classroom purchases by institutional order, billing details are provided in the institutional order/agreement, not in an individual payment.
11. Service Availability and Modification
Service availability, and Dialogia's ability to modify or discontinue features with reasonable notice, are governed by Clauses 7 and 11 of the Terms & Conditions of Use. These Contracting Terms cover only the commercial/purchase side of the relationship.
12. Customer Service and Complaints
For any question, claim or complaint about an order, contact hello@dialogia.org. Dialogia will acknowledge and aim to resolve consumer complaints within a reasonable time.
Consumers may also turn to their local Consumer Arbitration Board (Junta Arbitral de Consumo) or the European Consumer Centres Network (ECC-Net) if a complaint is not resolved directly with Dialogia. The European Commission's Online Dispute Resolution platform stopped operating on 20 July 2025, under Regulation (EU) 2024/3228 — this clause deliberately does not link to it or present it as available. Institutional links of this kind change over time, so none is fixed here: check your regional Consumer Arbitration Board or the European Consumer Centres Network to find the currently competent body. *(Checked on 9 August 2026.)*
13. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
These Contracting Terms are governed by Spanish law. For consumers, any dispute will be submitted to the courts of the consumer's own domicile: mandatory Spanish and EU consumer-protection rules do not allow imposing a different venue on them, and any clause attempting to do so would be considered not written, regardless of what any other part of this document says. For institutional (B2B) contracts — institutions, educational centres, and any other contracting party that does not have the legal status of consumer — disputes will be submitted to the courts of Bizkaia, and proceedings will be conducted in Spanish.
14. Contract Language
These Terms are offered in Spanish, English, Basque and Catalan for accessibility. In case of discrepancy or interpretive doubt between the versions, the Spanish version prevails, as it is the language in which this document was originally drafted and the language of the court proceedings set out in Clause 13 for disputes submitted to the courts of Bizkaia.
15. Annex: personal data processing agreement
This clause is the data processing agreement required by Article 28(3) GDPR, and it forms part of the contract from the moment an institution contracts Dialogia. There is no need to sign a separate document: on contracting, the institution and Dialogia are bound by what follows. If the institution needs a stand-alone document for its records, we will provide it signed on request.
This applies whenever the contracting party brings students onto the platform — an educational institution, an organization, or an individual educator using it in their professional activity. In all those cases, the contracting party is the controller for the processing of its students' data and Dialogia is its processor; Dialogia is responsible for the data of the account of the person who signs up. Courses with students under 18 only exist within an institution: the one created through the institutional contracting process or, in an online purchase, the one created for the buyer if they do not yet belong to one — whoever manages it thereby declares that they act with the institution's authorization.
15.1. Roles of each party
The institution is the data controller: it decides what Dialogia is used for, which courses and which students are added, and it determines the legal basis for the processing and the information it gives to families. Dialogia is the data processor and processes the data only on the institution's behalf.
15.2. Subject matter, duration, nature and purpose
- Subject matter: the provision of the Dialogia platform (Classroom, Questions, or both), on the terms contracted.
- Duration: for as long as the contract is in force, plus the return-or-deletion period set out in Clause 15.9.
- Nature and purpose: the operations necessary to provide the educational service — hosting and serving the platform, processing course material to generate content, handling student queries with AI assistance, generating assessment proposals addressed to the teacher, providing classroom analytics, and sending the service's operational notices.
- Instructions: the contract itself, the Contracting Terms, and the configuration the institution makes on the platform constitute the controller's documented instructions. Dialogia does not process the data for any purpose of its own other than providing the service and keeping it secure.
15.3. Categories of data and data subjects
- Data subjects: the institution's students, teaching staff and administrative staff.
- Identification and contact data: name and email address of teaching and administrative staff; name and email address of Classroom students. Questions students provide no identifying data at all: they get in with a class code, and their activity is linked to an opaque identifier generated by their own browser.
- Academic activity data: submissions, text produced by students, attached files, conversations with the assistant, assessment proposals and grades.
- Technical and usage data: access logs, platform consumption and aggregated classroom metrics.
- Special categories: Dialogia does not request data falling under the categories in Article 9 GDPR, and the platform has no field for entering it. However, text freely written by a person may contain it without that being intended; that material receives the same security measures as everything else and is not used for any additional purpose.
15.4. Dialogia's obligations as processor
- Process the data only in accordance with the institution's documented instructions, including international transfers. If Dialogia believes an instruction infringes data protection law, it will report it immediately.
- Ensure that everyone authorized to process the data has committed to respecting confidentiality, or is subject to a legal duty of confidentiality.
- Apply the technical and organizational measures in Article 32 GDPR, described in Clause 15.6.
- Assist the institution in handling data subjects' rights, and in complying with the obligations under Articles 32 to 36 GDPR, taking into account the nature of the processing and the information available to it.
- Not disclose the data to third parties, except to the sub-processors in Clause 15.5, where legally required, or on the institution's express instruction.
- Not use the institution's data to train AI models, either its own or third parties', and pass that prohibition on to the processing agreement with every sub-processor that handles that data.
- Make available to the institution the information necessary to demonstrate compliance with these obligations, and allow and contribute to audits, including inspections, on the terms set out in Clause 15.10.
15.5. Sub-processors
The institution grants general authorization for Dialogia to use other processors to provide the service. The complete, up-to-date list, naming each provider, what it receives and where it processes the data, is set out in the Privacy Policy, and is also provided as a detailed inventory to any institution that requests it.
Dialogia will notify the institution at least 10 days in advance of adding or replacing any sub-processor, so that it can object on reasonable grounds within that period. An objection does not prevent the change: Dialogia chooses its providers, provided they meet the obligations of this annex. If the institution objects and no alternative acceptable to both parties is found, it may terminate the contract without penalty and with a refund of the unconsumed proportional part.
Dialogia imposes on each sub-processor, by contract, the same data-protection obligations it assumes here, and is liable to the centre for any breach by any of them. The only exception is Tavily, the internet search provider: on the plan Dialogia uses it does not accept a data processing agreement, so that feature starts switched off in courses with under-age students, is only enabled activity by activity when teachers switch it on, never sends identifiers, and the centre can disable it for its whole institution.
15.6. Security measures
- Encryption in transit across all communications, and encryption at rest for document storage.
- Passwords stored using a key-derivation function, never in plain text or in a reversible form.
- Access control by role and by institution: the ownership of each resource is checked against the database on every request, and a request for a resource belonging to someone else is answered as if it did not exist, without revealing that it does.
- Separation of credentials by service, so that the compromise of one does not drag down the rest.
- Logging of relevant operations and periodic review of the access surface.
- Minimization: data not necessary to provide the service is not collected; data that stops being necessary is deleted under Clause 15.9.
15.7. Rights of data subjects
Requests for access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability or objection are addressed to the institution, which is the controller. If they reach Dialogia directly, we will forward them to the institution without undue delay and will not respond on our own account, unless the institution instructs us otherwise.
Dialogia makes available to the institution the tools necessary to handle them: complete export of a student's data as a downloadable file, and deletion of an account and everything associated with it, both from within the platform itself.
In Dialogia Questions students are not identified: their records are pseudonymous — an identifier generated by their browser, never a name — and neither the institution nor Dialogia can tell which questions correspond to which person. Article 11 GDPR covers this situation: we are not required to collect additional data for the sole purpose of being able to identify someone. If the person provides the identifier their browser stored, their records are located and deleted.
15.8. Security breaches
Dialogia will notify the institution without undue delay and, in any case, within 48 hours of becoming aware of a security breach affecting its data, with whatever information is available: the nature of the incident, the categories and approximate number of people and records affected, likely consequences, and measures taken or proposed. The 72-hour period in Article 33 GDPR runs for the institution, which is why ours is shorter.
15.9. Return and deletion on termination
When the contract ends, the institution has 30 days to export and download the data. Once that period has passed, Dialogia will delete it, including copies, except for anything a law requires to be kept — in which case it will be retained under restriction, available only to the authority that requires it and for the legally required period. Deletion on termination of the contract takes priority over any general retention period described in the Privacy Policy: those periods are ceilings during the provision of the service, not an authorization to keep the data afterward.
Regardless of the above, in courses with students under 18 deletion takes place at the end of the school year, without waiting for the contract to end, as described in the Privacy Policy. The institution receives a notice 30 days beforehand and another 7 days beforehand.
The aggregate statistics built from the activity of a sufficient number of people survive deletion, and are not personal data: they contain no text and no identifiers, and cannot be linked back to anyone.
15.10. Audit
Dialogia demonstrates compliance with this annex, first of all, through the documentation it publishes — these Terms, the Privacy Policy and the list of sub-processors — and through its providers' data processing agreements and security documentation. If the centre needs more, it may send a written questionnaire, which Dialogia will answer within a reasonable time. Only if that information is not enough to demonstrate compliance, following a security breach affecting its data, or when a supervisory authority requires it, may the centre carry out an audit, itself or through an independent third party bound by confidentiality: at most once a year, with thirty days' notice, during business hours, without disrupting the service, and at its own cost, unless it reveals a material breach by Dialogia.
15.11. International transfers
Processing takes place within the European Union, with a single exception: the assistant's internet queries, which only come into play when a teacher turns them on for a specific activity, and which start turned off in courses with students under 18. That transfer, its exact scope and its safeguards are described in the Privacy Policy. The institution can switch it off entirely for its whole organization by requesting it.
This annex was drafted by Dialogia following Article 28 GDPR and the standard clauses published by the Agencia Española de Protección de Datos (Spanish Data Protection Agency). It is part of these Contracting Terms and is accepted with them: no separate document needs to be signed.
16. About this document
Status: version in force since 4 October 2026. The commercial decisions live in their clauses: the countries from which Dialogia can be purchased, in Clause 2; per-course prices, seats and extensions, in Clause 3; online purchase through Getnet and the free trial, in Clause 5; automatic renewal with advance notice, in Clause 7; withdrawal, in Clause 8; and invoicing on request, in Clause 10. When something that affects what you accept changes, we will ask you to accept it again.
