The Novadesko Application and the Services provided

The Novadesko Application is available on the Web as well as on Android and iOS devices. It provides Users with a set of tools designed to facilitate the administrative, accounting and financial management of their professional activity. Some features are available free of charge, while others require a subscription.

Main Features

With the Application, You can notably:

  • connect compatible banking services to automatically import and view Your transactions;
  • record and manage Your professional expenses;
  • scan, import and automatically read supporting documents (invoices, receipts, notes, various documents);
  • categorize these documents appropriately;
  • automatically match Your supporting documents with Your financial transactions;
  • create, edit and send quotes and invoices;
  • view estimates of VAT, social contributions and taxes based on the data You enter in the Application;
  • benefit from automated or AI-assisted support modules to help with administrative and accounting obligations.

The scope of these features may evolve over time depending on development choices, technical updates or the introduction of new services.

Possible banking services

When the Application includes the possibility of using banking services provided by a third-party partner holding the necessary legal authorisations, the opening of an account or access to such services is carried out directly with that partner. The applicable contractual terms are those defined by that provider (see the section “Integrations and Third-Party Providers”).

Availability of options and subscriptions

The Services available depend in particular on:

  • the options selected in the Application;
  • the type of device used;
  • the applicable subscription plan, if any;
  • Your location or the technical availability at that moment.

Certain advanced features require a paid subscription. The Application specifies, for each service, the access conditions as well as any applicable fees and related terms.

Peppol transfers and access to electronic documents

When the User uses electronic invoicing features via the Peppol network, Novadesko acts solely as a technical platform for the reception, processing and availability of incoming and outgoing electronic documents, in accordance with the subscription plan in force.

Access to, importation, consultation and download of Peppol documents strictly depend on the subscription plan active at the time such documents are received.

Under the free plan, the number of Peppol documents that may be imported and consulted is limited (for example, a maximum of five (5) documents per monthly period). Once this limit is reached, additional incoming documents may not be accessible, importable or consultable unless the User subscribes to an appropriate paid plan.

Documents received beyond the limits of the free plan are not lost but remain subject to the access conditions of the active subscription. To access all received documents, the User may at any time subscribe to a dedicated paid plan offered by Novadesko.

In the event of a change of Peppol provider or a transfer request, Novadesko does not perform any automatic transfer of documents to a third-party provider. The User remains solely responsible for exporting, backing up and transferring their data, subject to the limitations of the active plan.

The User acknowledges and agrees that the transfer of Peppol documents, as well as any backup, export or data recovery operation, is carried out under their sole responsibility. Novadesko shall not be held liable for any loss of data, transfer failure, service interruption or deletion of documents resulting from a provider change, account termination, voluntary deletion of the User account, or failure by the User to perform a prior backup.

The User further acknowledges that they may modify or terminate their subscription at any time, in accordance with the conditions set out in the Application, without prejudice to amounts due for the elapsed subscription period.
