Payment

All subscription fees due and payable under Terms are exclusive of applicable taxes (any sales, use, consumptions, value-added, or any other tax), which will be added at the prevailing rate from time to time. When you sign up for a paid plan, you are agreeing to pay and take responsibility for all charges made in accordance with the chosen plan. Bank and credit card charges shall be borne by you. All fees and charges shall be payable immediately and in the currency specified in the order.

Subscription term

Unless otherwise specified in the order, the subscription has an initial term of twelve (12) months. The subscription runs from the date specified in the order. The subscription can be renewed monthly or annually. To be renewed monthly, the subscription must cover a minimum of twenty (20) users.

Test period, refunds, and cancellation

All paid subscription plans include a test period. You may terminate an annually paid subscription within thirty (30) calendar days from the date of the order. You may terminate a monthly paid subscription within ten (10) calendar days from the date of the order. In such a case, you shall be provided with a refund of any prepaid, unused fees (if any) paid to us.

Once you submit a cancellation request after the end of the test period, no additional fees will be charged. However, in this case, no refund (proportional or otherwise) will be issued upon cancellation.

Billing, renewal, and auto-renewal

Our annual plans provide year-to-year access, with annually charges being made each renewal date (the same date of the year that you originally signed up for the plan).

You can renew your subscription either automatically or manually. If auto-renewal is enabled by default, your subscription will renew at the due date for the same period. The card that you used when placing the original order is debited. A notification and receipt are sent to the billing email address.

You can check your renewal settings, turn off auto-renewal, or manually renew your subscription in your personal Account in Services. If you are a company administrator, you can renew users' subscriptions via the company Account in Services.

Unsuccessful charges and subscription suspension

If for any reason a payment is declined, you must immediately update your billing information as required by our payment provider.

We may, without liability to you, terminate access to all or part of Services if any fees due are not paid within seven (7) days for the annually paid subscription or three (3) days for the monthly paid subscription after such fees are first due and payable in accordance with Terms. In the event of the foregoing, we are not obligated to provide any and/or all of Services until such fees are paid in full. Account that has been suspended may be reactivated if the payment can be successfully processed for all charges accrued to the Account after the unsuccessful charge.

Subscription changes

You can change the number of users covered by the subscription. If you increase the number of users covered by the subscription, the payment will depend on the amount paid previously. If you decrease the number of users covered by the subscription, there will be no refund (proportional or otherwise).

Price changes

We shall be entitled to reasonably increase subscription fee effective as of the end of the initial subscription term or any renewal subscription term.

We reserve the right (but have no obligation) to investigate and/or take appropriate action against you in our sole discretion if you violate Terms and/or otherwise create liability for us or any other person. Such retained right shall be interpreted as coming under your documented instruction for the processing of Personal Data.

User Content liability

We shall not be liable for any loss, removal, or failure of delivery to the intended recipient of User Content, whether caused by computer virus, unauthorized access, and/or otherwise.

You may retain a backup copy of all User Content and should you do so, you undertake that you shall do so in respect of all uploaded User Content. We reserve the right to deny access to this site and delete User Content at any time without notice.

Third-party service providers

You acknowledge and agree that we use third-party service providers to host and provide Services and store User Content, and such User Content will be protected in accordance with the security, confidentiality, and integrity measures of those third parties. You are responsible for properly setting up and using Services and for taking appropriate steps to protect, maintain secure, and back up any User Content. We are not responsible for any unauthorized access, modification and/or deletion, destruction, damage, loss and/or failure to store any User Content and/or other information that you submit and/or use in connection with Services (including, but not limited to, because of your mistakes, actions, or omissions).

Term and termination

Subject to this section, Terms will remain in full force and effect while you access or use Services. In case of violation of these Terms, we may terminate your Account or your access at any time, with or without cause, with or without notice, with immediate effect and without liability, which may result in the termination of your Account and removal of User Content.

We will not be liable to you for any termination of your rights under Terms, including, but not limited to, termination of your Account and/or deletion of your User Content.

Your personal Account will become inactive if your subscription is expired and you do not sign in to your Account at least once in a 12-month period. Your company Account will become inactive if all subscriptions are expired and none of users does not sign in to the Account at least once in a 12-month period. In this case, we may, in our sole discretion, permanently delete your Account and terminate these Terms with or without prior notice.

Disclaimer

We are under no obligation to be involved in any dispute or incident you have with other users of Services. We disclaim all liability in connection with any prohibited User Content transfer to Services. You are solely responsible for any damages arising from the use of any User Content. We are not responsible for unauthorized access to your Account or automatic transmission of messages or viruses (whether caused by viruses or otherwise).

Disclaimer of warranties and limitation of liability

Disclaimer of warranties

Services are provided by us to you on an "AS IS", "AS AVAILABLE" basis, except as expressly set forth in our Terms. We do not make any other warranty of any kind whether express, statutory and/or implied, including, but not limited to, any implied warranties of title, non-infringement, merchantability, and/or fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and from course of dealing, usage and/or trade practice, all of which we expressly disclaim.

Without limiting the foregoing, we make NO WARRANTY that:

  • Services and/or content will meet your requirements and/or will be constantly available, uninterrupted, timely, secure, and/or error-free
  • the results that may be obtained from the use of Services will be effective, accurate, and/or reliable
  • we will be liable and/or otherwise responsible for any failure and/or delay in updating Services and/or any content. No advice and/or information, whether oral and/or written, obtained by you from us and/or through your access to and/or use of Services shall create any warranty not expressly stated in Terms

If applicable law requires any warranties with respect to Services, all such warranties are limited in duration to sixty (60) days from the date of first use. No oral or written information or advice given by us and/or our authorized representatives will create a warranty. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so the above exclusion may not apply to you.

Limitation of liability

In no event will we be liable to you or anyone else for:

  • any special, incidental, indirect, consequential and/or punitive damages whatsoever, including those resulting from loss of use, data and/or profits, whether foreseeable, regardless of the form of action, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), warranty, strict liability, and/or any other legal or equitable theory, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages in advance
  • any bugs, viruses, malware, and/or the like (regardless of the source of origination). The foregoing shall apply despite any negligence, misconduct, errors, and/or omissions by our employees.

Because some US states do not allow the exclusion and/or limitation of liability for consequential and/or incidental damages, in such US states, our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law. Our maximum aggregate liability to you for direct damages that you suffer in connection with Services is limited to the amount paid by you to us in connection with Services in the six (6) month period immediately preceding the date of the claim. The limitations of damages set forth above are fundamental elements of the basis of the bargain between us and you.

Indemnity and waiver

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless us, our employees, and our contractors from all demands, proceedings, losses, costs, damages, awards, fees, expenses, and/or liabilities of any nature including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, in connection with or because of your violation of these Terms or any law or regulation.

We reserve the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which case you will assist and cooperate with us in asserting any available remedies. You agree not to resolve any matter without our prior written consent. We will use reasonable efforts to notify you of any such request, action, or proceeding as soon as we become aware of it.

Waiver

You hereby forever discharge and release us, our employees, and our contractors from, and hereby waive and relinquish, each past, present and future dispute, claim, controversy, demand, right, obligation, liability, action, and cause of action of every kind and nature (including personal injuries, death, and property damage), that has arisen or arises directly or indirectly out of, and/or that relates directly or indirectly to:

  • Services
  • any inaccurate, incomplete, unreliable, illegal, or infringing content posted on Services, whether caused by us or any user of Services, or by any of the equipment or software associated with or utilized in Services
  • any injury, loss, or damage caused by another user or User Content posted on Services, whether online or offline
  • the conduct of any user, whether online or offline
  • any error, omission, interruption, deletion, defect, delay in operation and/or transmission, communications line failure, theft and/or destruction and/or unauthorized access

If you are a California resident, you hereby waive California civil code section 1542 in connection with the foregoing, which states: "a general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her, must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor".

Third-party sites

Services may provide links to various other independent third-party products and/or services ("Linked Sites") that may be of interest to you and are for your convenience only.

We do not control and/or endorse such Linked Sites and are neither responsible for their content nor responsible for the accuracy and/or reliability of any information, data, opinions, advice, and/or statements contained within such Linked Sites.

You will need to make your own independent judgment regarding your interaction with Linked Sites at your own risk. We encourage you to be aware when you leave Services and to read the terms and conditions and privacy policy of each Linked Site that you visit.

We reserve the right to terminate any link at any time in our sole and absolute discretion.

We disclaim all warranties, express and implied, as to the accuracy, validity, and legality and/or otherwise of any materials and/or information contained on such Linked Sites.
