All payments made for your choice of Services as a Customer are final. Refund of payments for your Instance is not possible regardless of whether You Use the Platform or not, or regardless of other circumstances and facts.

Your purchase of the Services, and/or other fees and payments may be subject to taxation, including, but not limited to, sales, value-added, and use taxes under applicable law and applicable tax regulations. As a Customer, You agree that, if it is legally relevant, the tax liability and payment of any such tax will be solely and absolutely your responsibility, and You agree to reimburse the Provider for any expenses incurred under the obligation or claim related to such tax.

In the event that the Provider is unable to charge any due or outstanding payments for the Services provided in your Instance to your selected payment method, You agree that the Provider may take any other steps that they deem necessary to charge such payments to You as a Customer and that, as a Customer, You will bear all costs and expenses incurred by the Provider resulting from taking actions to recover the payments, including the costs of recovery, enforcement services, legal services, or other necessary services.

Changing the Level of Service

You may upgrade or downgrade to another level of Service.

If You choose to upgrade the level of Service from your current level to a higher and more expensive one, the Provider will bill this transition as follows:

  • If You are switching from the free to the paid version of the Service, the first payment amounting to the fee for the first period (a month or a year) will be charged to You on the day of the change, and your billing date will be scheduled since the date of the change to the paid plan and according to the selected billing period (a month or a year). The following payments will amount to the price corresponding to the selected level of Service.
  • If you are upgrading from a paid Service level to a higher one, your first payment will be made on the day of the change, amounting to the difference between the respective part of the higher Service level price and the respective part of the lower Service level price, calculated based on the number of calendar days remaining until the end of the billing period (month/year) and the total number of calendar days of the billing period. The billing date and the beginning and end of the billing period shall not be changed by the transition to a higher Service level. The following payments will amount to the price corresponding to the selected level of Service.

The same rules apply to the purchase of additional Services or their upgrades.

There are only limited options for switching to a lower level of Service at a lower price, and no refund is possible. The subscribers who wish to downgrade from a higher level of Service to a lower one must let their subscription for the currently used level of Service expire, and subsequently purchase the desired level of Service or use the free level of Service if available.

The subscribers who wish to remove additional Services from their Instance must let the currently used additional Services expire, and then purchase the desired additional Services. Refund is not possible.

When downgrading to a lower level of Service, You may lose access to that part of your data which exceeds the range of the new level of Service.

Cancellation of an Instance

An Instance will be cancelled at the request of an authorised person who has the authority to act on behalf of the Customer.

By accepting these Terms of Use as a Customer, You agree that your data may remain on the Platform in a non-anonymised or anonymised form after the cancellation of your Instance and that this data may be used by the Provider for any analytical and statistical processing, including, but not limited to, obtaining information from data, automatic data evaluation, searching for relationships and correlations, and prevention.

The Provider reserves the right, at their sole discretion, to suspend or terminate your Instance and to refuse You any and all present or future Use of the Platform for any reason at any time. Such termination of your Instance will result in the suspension or termination of your access to the Instance, whereby the data content of your Instance may, but does not have to, be deleted and may be used by the Provider for the purposes specified in these Terms of Use.
