1.3.1. Products and Platforms
Machine Maker operates different specialized platforms that make up its portfolio of technological solutions:

The services of Machine Maker Ltd. are of a technological and automated nature, intended for professional and commercial use. The tools operate on public data obtained from open sources and do not collect, store, or process sensitive personal data without a legal basis or consent when necessary.

The User's responsibility for their use of the data does not limit or negate Machine Maker Ltd.'s own obligations as a Data Controller or Processor under Applicable Data Protection Laws regarding the data it processes.
1.3.3. Technical and Operational Limitations
Machine Maker uses its best efforts to ensure the continuous and secure operation of its platforms but acknowledges that, as it is a digital environment, interruptions, failures, or technical limitations may occur due to external factors, such as:
- Instability of third-party networks (such as internet providers and external APIs);
- Changes in the access policies of partner platforms (e.g., Google, Meta, LinkedIn);
- Technological updates, scheduled maintenance, and security corrections.
The company reserves the right to perform updates, improvements, and infrastructure adjustments whenever necessary, aiming to improve the User experience and the security of the processed data.
1.3.4. Scope of Professional Use
Machine Maker's tools are intended exclusively for professional use by companies, entrepreneurs, salespeople, autonomous professionals, and consultants involved in prospecting, marketing, and B2B sales activities. Personal, recreational, or any use involving a purpose different from the original constitutes a violation of these Terms.
The User declares to be aware that Machine Maker Ltd. is not characterized as a marketing agency, data broker, or commercial intermediary, acting only as a technology provider that enables automated and legitimate access to public information.
1.3.5. Update and Evolution of Services
Machine Maker Ltd. may, at its sole discretion, introduce new functionalities, change existing features, discontinue tools, or adjust plans and commercial conditions. These changes do not constitute a breach of contract, provided that access to the contracted service is maintained for the current period.
Users will be previously notified of substantial changes via email or through the platforms themselves. New features may be made available for free, temporarily, or through additional contracting.
In all cases, the company commits to maintaining contractual balance and transparency in its relationships with clients and users.
1.4. Access and Eligibility
1.4.1. Access Requirements
To access the Platforms and Services, the User must be at least the legal age of majority in their jurisdiction (e.g., 18 years of age in many locations). If the User is not of legal age, they may only use the Services with the valid consent and under the supervision of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to be bound by these Terms on the User's behalf.
In the case of access on behalf of a legal entity, the individual accessing the platform declares and warrants that they have sufficient representative powers to bind the contracting company to all obligations arising from this instrument.
The creation of an access account, whether free or paid, requires the provision of true, complete, and up-to-date information. The User commits to keeping their registration data updated, including email, telephone, and payment information, and is solely responsible for any consequences arising from incorrect or outdated information.
1.4.2. Credentials and Access Security
The User is solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of their credentials (login and password) and for all activities carried out under their account. It is expressly prohibited to share access credentials with third parties, whether natural or legal persons, without prior written authorization from Machine Maker Ltd.
In case of suspected unauthorized access, loss, or theft of credentials, the User must immediately notify Machine Maker Ltd. at support@eminer.app, to allow for preventive blocking and investigation of the incident.
Machine Maker adopts appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect the information and accounts of its Users, including secure authentication, encryption, and access monitoring. However, the User acknowledges that, due to the nature of the internet, no system is absolutely free from vulnerabilities.
1.4.3. Suspension and Cancellation of Accounts
Machine Maker Ltd. reserves the right to suspend, limit, or cancel, at its sole discretion and without prior notice, the access of Users who:
- violate these Terms or applicable law;
- use the platform improperly, fraudulently, or in a manner harmful to third parties;
- attempt reverse engineering, copying, redistribution, or improper manipulation of the services;
- cause technical, reputational, or commercial damage to the company or other Users.
The cancellation of an account may imply the permanent deletion of associated data and content, in accordance with the rules of the Privacy Policy. The User may request the voluntary termination of their account at any time, subject to contractual conditions and legal retention periods.
1.4.4. Usage Limits and Responsibility
Each User account is personal and non-transferable. Simultaneous access by multiple individuals, resale of licenses, or shared use of credentials constitutes a contractual violation.
The User is responsible for ensuring that the use of the platforms respects laws on data protection, privacy, intellectual property, and ethical communication practices. Machine Maker Ltd. is not responsible for any improper or illegal use by its Users.
1.4.5. Platform Updates and Availability
Machine Maker uses its best efforts to ensure the full operation of its platforms 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. However, it may perform preventive or corrective maintenance, with or without prior notice, aiming for the continuous improvement of services.
In exceptional situations, such as technical failures, security incidents, or legal requirements, the company may temporarily suspend access to the platforms, committing to restore it as soon as possible. Temporary suspension for such reasons does not entitle the User to compensation or indemnification.
1.4.6. Legal Compliance and Ethical Use
The User commits to using the Machine Maker Ltd. platforms exclusively for lawful purposes, respecting good faith, commercial ethics, and current legislation. It is expressly forbidden to:
- use the services to collect or process personal data irregularly;
- send unsolicited communications (spam) or engage in abusive marketing practices;
- violate copyrights, image rights, privacy, or any other third-party rights;
- perform acts that may compromise the security or integrity of the platforms.
Failure to comply with these obligations may result in the immediate suspension of access and, if applicable, the adoption of appropriate legal measures.
1.5. Contracting and Payment
1.5.1. Subscription Modalities
Machine Maker Ltd. offers different subscription plan modalities for access to its platforms and services. The plans may be classified according to the billing frequency and the level of access to functionalities:
- Monthly Plan – active access for 30 (thirty) days, with specific promotional conditions and optional automatic renewal;
- Quarterly Plan – active access for 90 (ninety) days, with specific promotional conditions and optional automatic renewal;
- Semi-Annual Plan – active access for 180 (one hundred and eighty) days, with progressive discounts and the possibility of automatic renewal;
- Annual Plan – active access for 365 (three hundred and sixty-five) days, with the best cost-benefit conditions and an option for automatic renewal.
In all plans, the User may opt for automatic recurring billing, expressly authorizing the payment processor used (Stripe) to perform renewals automatically at the end of each cycle, according to the payment method saved in the registration. The User may deactivate the recurrence at any time through their account or via a support request.
1.5.2. Contracting Process
The contracting of services occurs electronically, upon acceptance of these Terms and the complete filling out of the registration form available on the Machine Maker Ltd. platforms. The User declares to have read and understood all conditions before confirming the purchase.
The electronic contract is formalized the moment the transaction is completed and confirmed by the payment processor. From that moment, the User acquires the right to access the service corresponding to the chosen plan, according to the commercial conditions in effect at the time of contracting.
Plans may include trial periods or specific promotional conditions, which are optional and granted at the sole discretion of Machine Maker Ltd. The use of such benefits is subject to the same rules of use and conduct provided in these Terms.
1.5.3. Payment Methods
Machine Maker Ltd. uses certified and secure payment processors to intermediate all financial transactions. Currently, the following processors are used:
- Stripe, Inc., headquartered in the United States, subject to the Terms of Use at https://stripe.com/legal/ssa;
Transactions are processed directly by the respective platforms, which have exclusive access to payment data. Machine Maker Ltd. does not store credit card information or other payment methods.
1.5.4. Issuance of Invoices and Proof of Payment
For each contract, an electronic invoice will be issued in the User's name, based on the data provided during registration. The User is responsible for ensuring the accuracy and updating of this information, under penalty of making the issuance of the fiscal document unfeasible.
Proof of payment is available on the processors' platforms and can be consulted at any time. Machine Maker Ltd. recommends that the User keep their proofs of payment archived for eventual checks.
1.5.5. Payment Failures and Access Suspension
If payment is not confirmed by the processor for any reason (insufficient funds, expired card, authentication failure, etc.), access to the account may be temporarily suspended until the pending issue is resolved.
Machine Maker Ltd. reserves the right to cancel the plan after 5 (five) calendar days of non-payment, and may reactivate it upon new payment. Cancellation for non-payment does not entitle the User to a refund or proportional credits.
1.5.6. Change of Plans and Update of Values
The User may change the contracted plan (upgrade or downgrade) by request in the client area or via contact with support. The new value will be applied in the next billing cycle.
Machine Maker Ltd. reserves the right to readjust the values of its plans, observing market conditions and operational costs. Price changes will be communicated at least 15 (fifteen) days in advance, applying only to new contracts or future renewals.
1.5.7. Promotional Conditions and Bonus Tools
Machine Maker Ltd. may offer ancillary tools or additional functionalities as a promotional bonus in certain subscription modalities (monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, or annual). These tools are granted as a courtesy and have no guarantee of availability or continuity, and may be modified or discontinued at any time without prior notice.
In the future, such functionalities may be transformed into independent products or plans, subject to specific contracting and their own values.
1.5.8. Cancellation and Refund Policy (Initial Purchase)
As part of our customer satisfaction policy, a User may request a full refund within seven (7) calendar days from the date of their initial purchase. This refund policy is detailed further in Section 1.6.
After this 7-day period, no refunds will be issued, except in exceptional situations evaluated individually by Machine Maker Ltd., such as duplicate billing, proven error in the transaction, or significant, prolonged technical failure recognized by the company.
The cancellation of a recurring plan will prevent future charges but will not generate a proportional refund for the period already used or remaining in the billing cycle.
This refund policy does not supersede any mandatory, non-waivable statutory rights (such as those under the EU Digital Content Directive, which may grant a 14-day withdrawal right that can be waived upon access to digital content) that may apply in the User's jurisdiction.
1.5.8.1. Partial Cancellation and Proportional Requests
Machine Maker Ltd.does not perform partial cancellations or proportional refunds at the User's request during the contracted period.
By adhering to a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, or annual plan, the User acknowledges that the payment corresponds to the entirety of the contracted cycle, regardless of the total or partial use of the platform.
Only in cases where the company itself decides, at its discretion, to interrupt the service for technical, maintenance, or other justified reasons, may a proportional refund or compensatory credit be granted, at the sole discretion of Machine Maker Ltd.
Thus, the User may not request cancellation in the middle of the contracted period and claim a proportional refund of values referring to the remaining unused time.
1.5.8.2. Effects of Cancellation
The cancellation of a subscription implies:
- Interruption of future automatic charges;
- Maintenance of active access until the end of the cycle already paid for;
- Extinction of bonuses, credits, and ancillary tools linked to the plan;
- Preservation of the User's data according to the retention and deletion rules provided in the Privacy Policy (item 2.8).
1.5.8.3. User's Responsibility for Automatic Renewal and Lack of Use
The User acknowledges that the plans offered by Machine Maker Ltd. operate in automatic recurring billing mode, according to the frequency selected at the time of contracting (monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, or annual).
It is the User's entire responsibility to request, expressly and within the desired timeframe, the cancellation of the automatic renewal of their subscription, through the official channels indicated in this document.
The absence of this request will imply a valid automatic renewal, with regular billing of the value corresponding to the active plan.
1.5.8.3.1. Allegations of Non-Use
Machine Maker Ltd. does not provide refunds or credits for periods in which the User chose not to use the tool, kept the subscription active, and did not formally communicate the desire for cancellation.
The mere fact of not accessing or not using the functionalities does not constitute cancellation, withdrawal, or contractual suspension.
Thus, there is no provision for a refund of amounts already paid referring to periods in which the service remained available, even if not used.
The User agrees that the subscription grants the right of access to the platform during the contracted cycle, regardless of its effective use.
1.5.9. Proof of Contracting and Communications
The electronic confirmation of the transaction, confirmation emails, and electronic records maintained by Machine Maker Ltd. and its payment processors constitute valid and sufficient proof of the contract, dispensing with additional formalities.
All communications related to billing, renewal, cancellation, or contractual changes may be made via the email registered by the User or by notifications within the platform.
The contracting of services implies the User's acknowledgment that they have understood and fully accept the financial and operational conditions described in this item.
1.6. Cancellation and Refund Policy
1.6.1. Subscriptions, Automatic Renewal, and Cancellation Policy
1.6.1.1. Plan Modalities and Recurring Billing
Machine Maker Ltd. offers subscription plans with different frequencies, which may be Monthly, Quarterly, Semi-Annual, or Annual, as chosen by the User at the time of contracting.
By adhering to any plan, the User expressly and unequivocally authorizes the automatic and recurring billing of the corresponding amount, using the registered payment method and processed by the official intermediaries integrated into the company's platforms.
Billing will be carried out recurrently on the same day of each contracted cycle, until the User requests cancellation, subject to the conditions provided in this document.
1.6.1.2. Consent and Automatic Renewal
By contracting one of the available plans, the User expressly consents to the automatic renewal of the subscription at the end of each cycle, under the same conditions previously contracted, until a contrary manifestation is made.
The User may cancel the automatic renewal at any time, directly on the platform or by request to the official support, through the email support@eminer.app.
1.6.1.3. Cancellation and Refund Policy
The User may cancel the subscription at any time, subject to the following conditions:
- Cancellation interrupts the automatic billing of future cycles, maintaining access until the end of the period already paid for;
- If the cancellation occurs within seven (7) calendar days following the initial purchase, the User may be eligible for a full refund in accordance with our refund policy (see Section 1.6.2);
- After this period, there will be no proportional refund, except in specific cases of proven failure in the provision of the service, to be evaluated individually by Machine Maker Ltd.
Requests must be sent to the official customer service channel.
1.6.1.4. Payment Intermediation and Security
Financial information is processed exclusively by the payment intermediaries integrated into the company's platforms, such as Stripe, according to their respective Privacy Policies and Terms of Use.
Machine Maker Ltd.does not store, process, or have access to credit card data or bank credentials of Users, maintaining full compliance with Applicable Data Protection Laws and international security standards (PCI-DSS).
1.6.1.5. Consequences of Non-Payment
In the event of non-payment, delay, or failure in recurring billing, Machine Maker Ltd. may:
- Temporarily suspend access to the platform and contracted services until the payment is regularized;
- Automatically cancel the subscription, if the debt is not regularized within 2 (two) calendar days after the due date;
- Not perform automatic renewal until confirmation of the new payment;
- Forward the outstanding amount to the billing intermediary for recovery measures or definitive cancellation of the subscription.
During the period of non-payment, the User will remain responsible for the amounts due, without prejudice to charges or monetary correction.
1.6.1.6. Update of Values and Conditions
Machine Maker Ltd. reserves the right to adjust prices, plans, or conditions of use at any time, upon prior communication to the User, at least 7 (seven) calendar days before the next renewal.
If the User does not agree with the new conditions, they may choose not to renew their subscription or request cancellation before the automatic renewal date.
1.6.1.7. Voluntary Termination and Effects
The cancellation of the subscription does not imply the immediate deletion of the User's personal data, which will continue to be stored according to the terms and conditions provided in the Privacy Policy (item 2.8).
After termination, the User loses the right of access to premium functionalities and any bonuses linked to the contracted plan.
1.6.2. Refund Policy (Initial Purchase)
Machine Maker Ltd. offers a 7-day refund policy for a User's first subscription purchase. A refund request must be submitted via email to support@eminer.app within seven (7) calendar days of the initial payment confirmation.
This policy applies only to the initial purchase and not to any subsequent renewals, upgrades, or plan changes.
Once the request is received, it will be analyzed and processed within 10 (ten) business days, respecting the operational deadlines of the payment processors (Stripe). The refund will be made using the same original payment method, except in exceptional cases duly justified.
1.6.3. Limitations on Refund Policy
This refund policy does not apply to Users who:
- Are renewing an existing subscription;
- Are upgrading or changing an existing plan;
- Have already received a refund in previous contracts;
- Have already significantly used the platform's functionalities (e.g., performed extensive data exports or automations) during the 7-day period, as determined at our reasonable discretion;
- Have benefited from specific promotional conditions or courtesy access that explicitly excluded refunds.
These restrictions aim to prevent abuse of the policy and ensure contractual balance, considering that access to digital tools implies immediate consumption of technological resources.
1.6.4. Cancellation of Recurring Subscriptions
The User acknowledges that the plans offered by Machine Maker Ltd. operate under automatic recurring billing, according to the frequency chosen at the time of contracting (monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, or annual).
It is the User's entire responsibility to request the cancellation of the automatic renewal of their subscription when they wish to end the contractual relationship.
The cancellation must be requested exclusively in writing, through the official support: support@eminer.app.
The request will be analyzed and processed within 10 (ten) business days after receipt.
Cancellation prevents future charges, but does not generate a proportional refund for the period already contracted or in progress.
Access to the platform will remain active until the end of the current cycle, unless the User requests immediate termination.
After cancellation, access will be automatically suspended, and the data linked to the account will be maintained according to the terms and conditions provided in the Privacy Policy.
1.6.5. Cancellation for Non-Payment or Violation of Terms
Machine Maker Ltd. may suspend or cancel the User's access in cases of:
- Payment failure not regularized within 5 (five) calendar days;
- Violation of these Terms of Use;
- Improper, fraudulent use, or use that causes damage to the company, third parties, or the integrity of the platforms.
In such cases, the company reserves the right to not grant a refund and may take appropriate administrative or legal measures. Cancellation for non-payment or misconduct does not exempt the User from pending financial obligations.
1.6.6. Cancellation by Initiative of Machine Maker Ltd.
Machine Maker Ltd. may, at its discretion, terminate the offer of certain plans or functionalities. In these situations, affected Users will be notified at least 15 (fifteen) days in advance and will have the right to full use of the service until the end of the contracted period.
In exceptional cases, such as the definitive discontinuation of a service, the User may be offered a proportional refund for the unused time or migration to an equivalent product, according to the client's choice and technical availability.
1.6.7. Refund Procedures and Deadlines
Refunds, when applicable according to the conditions of this Term, will observe the following parameters and deadlines:
- Processing time: Approved requests will be processed within 10 (ten) business days, counted from confirmation by Machine Maker Ltd.;
- Credit card payments: The amount will be refunded directly to the invoice linked to the card used, according to the rules and deadlines of the administrator;
- Bank Transfer or Direct Debit Payments: The refund will be made via deposit into a bank account informed by the User, provided that it is in the name of the same holder as the original payment;
- Instant Payment Methods (e.g., PIX): The amount will be refunded to the same bank account that made the payment, where technically feasible;
- Responsibility of intermediaries:Machine Maker Ltd. is not responsible for delays, unavailability, or failures arising from financial intermediaries, payment gateways, or banking institutions, as such deadlines are subject to external clearing policies.
1.6.8. Special Cases and Contractual Good Faith
Machine Maker Ltd. reserves the right to analyze exceptional situations in which the User alleges relevant damage or operational error. In these cases, the company may, at its sole discretion, grant compensatory credits, access extension, or partial refund, always guided by good faith and reasonableness.
1.6.9. Effects of Cancellation
Cancellation, whether by initiative of the User or Machine Maker Ltd., implies:
- Suspension of access to platforms and premium functionalities;
- Progressive inactivation or deletion of the account, according to the legal data retention period;
- Loss of any bonuses, promotions, or courtesy functionalities linked to the canceled plan;
- Maintenance of the obligation to settle outstanding amounts up to the effective date of termination.
1.6.10. Transparency and Communication
Machine Maker Ltd. will maintain clear and accessible communication about cancellation and refund procedures, providing dedicated service channels and records of all requests made.
The User will be informed, via registered email, about the progress of any cancellation or refund request, including confirmations, deadlines, and final results.
This policy aims to balance the rights and duties between the parties, ensuring the legal security of the contractual relationship and the responsible continuity of the digital services offered by Machine Maker Ltd.
1.6.11. Chargeback and Re-contracting Policy
1.6.11.1. Definition
For the purposes of this instrument, chargeback is considered the procedure of disputing a payment with the credit card operator, bank, or payment intermediary, through which the User requests the reversal of amounts already charged and processed.
While chargebacks are a legitimate consumer protection tool, their improper use (e.g., requesting a chargeback after having legitimately used the services, or as a means to bypass the refund policy) characterizes a contractual breach and causes direct financial loss to Machine Maker Ltd.
1.6.11.2. Consequences of Improper Chargeback
If it is identified that the User used the services, had access to the platform, and subsequently initiated a chargeback without first attempting to resolve the issue with our support team, or in a manner deemed fraudulent or in bad faith, Machine Maker Ltd. reserves the right to:
- Immediately block the User's access to the platform and contracted functionalities;
- Register the event internally and associate the occurrence with the User's account details and email;
- Contest the chargeback by providing evidence of service access and use to the payment intermediary;
- Suspend or refuse future services to the User until the reversed amount (and any associated chargeback fees) is reimbursed.
1.6.11.3. Re-contracting and Compensation of Values
If a User who initiated an improper chargeback attempts to re-contract the services in the future, the following rules may apply at our discretion:
- Full use of the previous period: If the User used the entire contracted period before the chargeback, any new payments may be first applied to settle the outstanding debt. Service may not be reactivated until the previous financial loss is fully compensated.
- Partial use of the previous period: If the User used only part of the previous cycle, the value of the new payment may be applied to cover the debt, and any remaining amount may be proportionally converted into credit for future use.
- Recurring chargebacks: Repeated instances of improper chargebacks may result in the permanent refusal of service, at our sole discretion, to mitigate financial risk.
1.6.11.4. Communication and Transparency
The User will be notified by email about any suspension of access or application of funds resulting from a chargeback.
The communication will be made through the email address registered at the time of contracting and will be considered valid for all legal purposes.
1.6.11.5. User Responsibility
The User acknowledges that, by using the platform and subsequently disputing a legitimate charge improperly, they incur a contractual violation and are liable for the resulting financial damages.
Machine Maker Ltd. reserves the right to protect its legitimate interests, including by using lawful collection methods or adopting appropriate administrative or judicial measures to recover losses.
1.6.11.6. Good Faith and Reversal of Chargebacks
We urge Users to contact our support team at support@eminer.app to resolve any billing disputes. In cases where a chargeback is proven to be the result of a genuine mistake, technical failure, or bank error, Machine Maker Ltd. will cooperate fully to resolve the issue, re-establish the User's access, and reverse any blocks upon regularization with the payment intermediary.
1.7. User Obligations
1.7.1. General Conduct and Ethical Use
The User agrees to use the platforms, tools, and services of Machine Maker Ltd. ethically, responsibly, and in compliance with current legislation. The use of the services must respect the principles of good faith, transparency, legitimate purpose, and respect for third-party rights.
