Terms of Service
Last updated: October 2, 2026
1. Service Provider
Blockema
Carrer de Provença, 183, 08036 Barcelona, Spain
Email: hello@blockema.com
These Terms govern your use of the data validation service offered by Blockema (the "Service"). By creating an account or subscribing, you accept these Terms, the Privacy Policy and the Legal Notice.
Some clauses distinguish between consumers (individuals acting for purposes outside their trade, business or profession) and business customers. Nothing in these Terms limits the rights granted to consumers by consumer protection law.
2. Description of the Service
Blockema lets you validate Excel and CSV files against configurable rules to detect errors and inconsistencies before analysis, migration or integration. It offers two modes:
- Browser-based validation: the file is processed entirely on your device and its contents are not sent to our servers.
- Server-based validation: the file is uploaded to our servers for processing and deleted automatically when processing finishes.
3. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old and legally capable of entering into a contract.
4. How the Contract Is Formed
- Create an account with your email address or Google account and accept these Terms.
- Start the free trial, which requires no payment details.
- To subscribe, choose the plan and you will be redirected to the Polar.sh checkout, where you can review and correct your details before confirming payment.
- You will receive the subscription confirmation and invoice by email.
The contract may be concluded in English or Spanish. Blockema keeps an electronic record of your acceptance, and the current version of these Terms is always available on this page.
5. Account
You are responsible for keeping your credentials confidential and for all activity under your account. You must provide accurate information, keep it up to date, and notify us of any unauthorized use.
6. Free Trial
New users get 30 days of free access, with unlimited validations and no payment details required. When the trial ends, access to paid features is suspended until you subscribe. You will never be charged automatically.
Blockema may change or withdraw the trial offer for new users, but will always honour trials already in progress.
7. Price, Payment and Renewal
7.1 Price
The monthly subscription costs €19 per month. For consumers, the final price including applicable taxes is shown before you confirm payment.
7.2 Payment
Payments are processed by Polar.sh, which acts as authorized reseller (Merchant of Record): it collects the payment, handles taxes and issues the invoice. Blockema does not store your card details.
7.3 Renewal and cancellation
The subscription is billed in advance and renews automatically every month until you cancel. You can cancel at any time from your account. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the period already paid, until which you keep access.
7.4 Price changes
Any price change will be notified to you by email at least 30 days in advance and will apply from the following renewal. If you disagree, you may cancel before that date at no cost.
8. Right of Withdrawal
If you are a consumer, you have 14 calendar days from subscribing to withdraw without giving any reason, under Articles 102 et seq. of Spanish Royal Legislative Decree 1/2007 (TRLGDCU).
To exercise it, send an unequivocal statement to hello@blockema.com. You may use the following model, but it is not mandatory:
To Blockema, Carrer de Provença, 183, 08036 Barcelona, Spain, hello@blockema.com: I hereby give notice that I withdraw from my subscription contract for the Blockema service. Subscribed on: [date]. Name: [name]. Account email: [email]. Date: [date].
We will refund the amount paid, using the same payment method, within 14 days of receiving your request. By subscribing, you expressly request that the Service start immediately; therefore, if you withdraw, an amount proportional to the time you have used the paid Service will be deducted (Art. 108 TRLGDCU).
9. Your Data
- Browser-based validation: your files never leave your device.
- Server-based validation: files are deleted as soon as processing finishes.
- History: the file name and results of each validation are kept in your account until you delete them or your account.
You retain all rights to your data. We only use it to provide the Service and never to train models or for advertising. If your files contain personal data of third parties, you warrant that you have a legal basis to process it, and Blockema acts as processor as described in the Privacy Policy.
10. License
Blockema grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Service while your account is active. You may not:
- Resell, sublicense or redistribute the Service.
- Reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the Service, except where permitted by law.
- Use the Service to build a competing product.
- Remove or alter proprietary notices.
11. Prohibited Use
You agree not to:
- Use the Service for any unlawful purpose.
- Upload files containing malware or malicious code.
- Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service or other users' data.
- Interfere with the operation or infrastructure of the Service.
- Access the Service with automated tools without written permission.
- Impersonate any other person.
- Validate data you do not have the right to process.
12. Intellectual Property
The Service, including its software, design, text, logos and documentation, is owned by Blockema. These Terms do not transfer any ownership rights to you.
13. Warranty and Liability
Blockema will provide the Service with due care and as described in these Terms. If you are a consumer, you benefit from the legal conformity guarantee for digital services under the TRLGDCU.
Validation results depend on the rules you configure and are an aid for reviewing your data. You are responsible for the decisions you make based on them.
Blockema does not guarantee that the Service will be free of interruptions or errors, but will work to resolve them within a reasonable time.
For business customers, to the extent permitted by law, Blockema is not liable for indirect damages or loss of profits, and its total liability is limited to the amount paid in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim.
These limitations do not apply to damage caused by wilful misconduct or gross negligence, nor to the rights granted to consumers by law.
14. Suspension and Termination
You can delete your account at any time from your settings or by writing to hello@blockema.com.
Blockema may suspend or terminate your account if you seriously breach these Terms, in particular the prohibited uses. Unless the breach requires immediate action (for example, for security reasons or unlawful activity), we will notify you in advance so you can remedy it. If we terminate your account without any breach on your part, we will refund the unused portion of the period paid.
Clauses that by their nature should survive (intellectual property, liability and governing law) will remain in force after termination.
15. Changes
Blockema may amend these Terms due to legal, security or Service feature changes. Significant changes will be notified to you by email at least 30 days in advance. If you disagree, you may cancel your subscription before they take effect at no cost.
16. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
These Terms are governed by Spanish law. Disputes shall be submitted to the courts of Barcelona, unless you are a consumer, in which case the courts of your place of residence shall have jurisdiction.
Blockema is not a member of any consumer alternative dispute resolution scheme. If you are a consumer, you may file a complaint with the Agència Catalana del Consum or the consumer authority of your place of residence.
