If the Company deletes the Account for the foregoing reasons, the User may not re-register. The Company may also suspend or terminate the Account upon a lawful request of a public authority.

 

3. Fees and payments

3.1. The Fees. The Services offered through the Platform are subject to the applicable service fees (the “Fees”) payable by the User on a subscription basis. The schedule of the Fees is available at https://wwwproof.com/#pricing or communicated to the User personally. Unless indicated otherwise, the Fees include applicable sale tax. The Fees are charged automatically on a monthly or annual basis, unless cancelled earlier by the User. By concluding a service contract with the Company for paid subscription plans, the User agrees to pay the Fees in accordance with these Terms, the terms and conditions of the respective Fees, and other terms and conditions in force at the moment the service contract is concluded. The Fees remain valid for as long as (i) User’s subscription lasts, (ii) the Fees are indicated on the Platform, or (iii) as communicated by the Company. Any changes to the Fees will be made available to the User and, if necessary, the Company will request the User to provide consent to the amendments of the Fees.

3.2. Payment. The Fees are processed by the third-party payment processor Paddle (https://paddle.com) (“Paddle”). Paddle may collect some personal data from the User, such as User’s name, credit card number, billing address, and PayPal username, which will allow it to make payments requested by the User. Paddle handles all steps in the payment process through its systems, including data collection and data processing, subject to its individual terms and policies. The User is responsible for ensuring that all payment information is correct and the funds necessary for paying the Fees are available. The User agrees not to hold the Company liable for payments that do not reach it because the User has quoted incorrect payment information or Paddle refused the payment for any other reason.

3.3. Free Trial. The Company offers a free-of-charge 14-day trial period (the “Free Trial”). The Free Trial is not subject to the Fees and the Company will not make any charges for the Free Trial. The Free Trial shall commence automatically after the User registers the Account, unless the User chooses a paid subscription plan. The Free Trial can be cancelled at any time before the it expires. Upon expiration of the Free Trial, unless cancelled earlier by the User, the free-of-charge subscription plan shall commence and the User shall be entitled to choose a paid subscription plan, subject to the applicable Fees.

3.4. Technical steps to conclude a service contract. The User that would like to conclude a paid service contract with the Company needs to: (i) visit the Platform; (ii) register the Account by submitting the requested personal data; (iii) choose the applicable subscription plan; and (iv) provide the required payment information. The User will be able to identify and correct any input errors prior to clicking on the “Pay Now” button. After the payment is completed, the Company will send a confirmatory email informing the User about the order. By clicking on the button “Pay Now” and receiving a confirmatory email, the User concludes a service contract in English with the Company on the basis of these Terms. The details of the specific service contract will not be filed by the Company and, therefore, the specific contract will not be available to the User. However, if the User does require any information regarding the order, the User can consult the Account or contact the Company directly.

3.5. Cancelling the Fees. The User is entitled to cancel then-current subscription plans and the Fees related thereto at any time though the Account or by contacting the Company directly. No Fees paid for the respective subscription plan shall be returned to the User. After the cancellation of User’s subscription plan becomes effective, no further Fees shall be charged to the User.

3.6. Refunds. Taking into account that the Free Trial is offered, the Company does not provide refunds for the Fees paid. If the User is not satisfied with the Platform and there is a reason to believe that the quality of the services is impaired due to Company’s fault, the Company may, after carefully assessing the issue and in its sole discretion, issue partial or full refunds to the User. The situations in which the Company may consider issuing refunds include: (i) if the services provided though the Platform are impaired due to technical issues that cannot be solved in a reasonably timely manner; (ii) the Company materially breaches these Terms; or (iii) the Company fails to provide the services as agreed to with the User. In order to terminate the service contract and receive a refund, the User must contact the Company and explain User’s concern in detail. If the User qualifies for a refund, the Company will issue the refund by using the same payment method that the User used to make the payment, unless the User expressly requests otherwise.
