Account Setup, Transactions, Service Periods, Data Handling, Financial Transactions, and Refund Policies

Account Setup

To utilize our Services and initiate Transactions, you must establish an Account on our website. You are obligated to maintain accurate and complete account information and to keep this information updated to enable communication via email or through your Account. You bear full responsibility for all activities conducted through your Account, including all Transactions and Service Periods initiated.

Transactions, Service Periods & Continuations

Transactions are initiated by following the purchase or subscription processes on our website or by soliciting an invoice from us. A Transaction denotes your intent to subscribe to a specific Product Suite, including any restrictions on the number of Data Handling instances you can manage and outlines the License Term or Service Period. Transactions become binding only after we have received and processed full payment, and access to the respective Product Suite is enabled.

Service Periods renew automatically for intervals equivalent to the initial Service Period unless you decide to cancel your subscription. Should you opt to cancel or discontinue your subscription, no refunds will be provided for any remaining Service Period. By accepting these terms, you agree to and accept responsibility for all recurring costs to your payment method without further consent from you and without additional notification, except as mandated by law. You accept that the recurring cost may vary if applicable tax rates or fees are adjusted. In such instances, you will be provided at least 30 days' notice before such changes are enacted.
