If you register for the Services, you agree to (a) provide accurate, current and complete information (“Registration Data”); (b) maintain the security of your password; (c) maintain and promptly update the Registration Data, and any other information you provide to Zervant, and to keep it accurate, current and complete; and (d) accept all risks of unauthorized access to the Registration Data and any other information you provide to Zervant. You are responsible for all activity on your Zervant account, and for all charges incurred by your Zervant account.
4. Subscription and terms
The first invoicing period starts either when the trial period has ended or when the Subscriber has decided to buy the subscription. The invoice period is prepaid.
The subscription will be renewed automatically in its existing composition of product and period, until the Subscriber cancels the subscription. When entering the Subscriber’s card details, it is accepted that Zervant may, periodically, according to the selected subscription plan, withdraw an amount corresponding to the selected product and period.
The subscription gives the Subscriber access to use our software for the features contained in the subscription plan chosen by the Subscriber.
If the Subscriber changes their subscription plan, the new functions will be available immediately, while possibly opt-out features will be available until the end of the current billing period. Possibly, optional new functions or plan upgrade will be settled pro rata in relation to the remaining invoice period.
5. Prices and payments terms
Fees and any other charges for the use of the Services can be found at any time on Zervant’s website.
All prices are stated in the premium plans and are exclusive of applicable taxes (e.g., VAT, GST, sales tax, etc.).
All Services purchased are non-transferable and non-refundable. You will not receive repayment for any Services you do not use even when you terminate your use of the Services with immediate effect during an already paid billing period.
Zervant reserves the right to adjust the prices at any time with 14 days notice. In case of change, your continued use of the Services after the change indicates your agreement with the new fees and charges after the effective date of the change. Any change to fees and other charges will not be applicable to the billing period in which the change occurs.
The subscription will remain active until the Subscriber actively cancels the subscription.
If the subscription is not paid on time, the Subscriber’s account will be blocked after 14 days.
The Subscriber accepts that invoices and reminders sent per e-mail to the e-mail address specified by the Subscriber shall be considered delivered when they are sent by Zervant.
6. Termination and duration of subscription
Subscriber can cancel their subscription at any time. In that case, their subscription will not be renewed and subscriber will not be charged when the current billing period ends.
There is no refund or right of cancellation for ongoing invoice periods. Thus, a subscription that has been paid for will not be refunded. If, for example, a Subscriber buys a 1-year recurring subscription plan, this amount cannot be refunded, even if the Subscriber stops using the Services in the middle of the period.
Termination must be done by actively canceling the subscription. A payment default will not be regarded as a cancellation of an ongoing subscription.
In the event of a payment default, the account will be blocked as mentioned in the previous section and the Services make no further commitments to the User. Thus, we are no longer obliged to give the User access to data registered in the Services’ software.
After termination, the User maintains access to the Services in the free version excluding features in previous subscription plan. We are no longer obliged to give the User access to data created with the use of the Services’ premium features from subscription plan.
