Terms of use

Last updated 2026-11-10

These terms cover your use of Somar POS, part of Somar Business Suite: the back office you are reading this in, the POS app on your tablets, and the servers behind them. The service is run by the operator of this service (“we”). By creating an account you agree to these terms on behalf of your business.

1. Your account

You must give a real email address and keep your password, staff PINs and access tokens private. You are responsible for what is done with your account, including by staff you add. Tell us right away if you think someone else has got in.

2. Your data stays yours

Your menu, sales, stock, staff and customer records belong to your business. We use them only to run the service for you, as described in the privacy notice. You can download your reports as CSV files at any time.

3. What you are responsible for

• Checking that your prices, taxes, discounts and receipts are set up correctly for your business.
• Your own tax registration, permits and filings, including any BIR registration or permit your business needs for its receipts and sales records. The reports here are there to help; they do not replace your accountant.
• Having the right to record the personal details of the staff and customers you enter.
• Your tablets, printers, cash drawers and internet connection.

4. Fair use

Do not use the service for anything unlawful, try to get into other businesses’ data, interfere with the service, or resell it without our written agreement. We may suspend an account that does.

5. Availability and backups

We work to keep the service running and back up its data regularly, but we do not promise it will never be interrupted. The POS app keeps selling while offline and sends its sales when the connection returns. Keep your own copies of reports you must retain.

6. Fees

If a fee applies to your account, we will tell you the price before you are charged, and you may stop before then.

7. Ending

You may stop using the service at any time and ask us to delete your account. We may end or suspend an account that breaks these terms, and will give reasonable notice where we can so you can download your records first.

8. Liability

The service is provided as it is. As far as the law allows, we are not liable for lost sales, lost profit, lost data or other indirect loss from using it or being unable to use it. Nothing here limits rights the law does not allow to be limited.

9. Changes

We may update these terms. When a change matters, we will say so in the back office or by email before it takes effect. Continuing to use the service after that means you accept the updated terms.

10. Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of the Philippines.
