Contractual Term

When you register your Account and provide your payment details, you should receive an acknowledgment e-mail confirming your registration. Then, our contract is made based on these Terms and you are granted access to the Services to the extent of your choosing.

Types of Subscriptions

We offer the purchase of our Services through subscriptions (“subscription”). For all new customers and renewals, the subscription can be purchased as a yearly commitment subscription. For the yearly commitment subscription, the subscription period lasts for 12 (twelve) months and it is calculated from date to date, starting from the date we start charging you for our Services (“subscription period”) in accordance with your purchase. The yearly commitment subscription can be paid for the whole 12 (twelve) months in advance, or in monthly installments. The yearly commitment subscription shall be automatically renewed for 12 (twelve) successive months with the same billing method unless you cancel the subscription, which has to be announced to us no later than 15 (fifteen) days before the expiration of the subscription period.

All the above-mentioned points are provided to you when signing up for the Service, so please have them in mind and pay attention to the duration of your subscription so you could act on time and cancel it.

Payment

Purchasing of our Services shall be done through an online subscription process by which you agree to subscribe to our Services and undertake to pay a fee in exchange for our Services. Depending on the payment method of choice and the Service purchased, our Services can be billed during the subscription period monthly or yearly in advance. The Services can be paid for by credit card or other payment methods available on the Website.

If you are paying by credit card on a monthly or yearly basis, you authorize us to recurrently charge your credit card or bank account for all fees payable during the subscription period without further consent from you, as long as your subscription period lasts. You further authorize us to use a third party to process payments and consent to the disclosure of your payment information to such a third party. Once the subscription fee has been billed, we will send you the invoice to the e-mail address you used for the registration to our Services.

Paying by invoice is available only for the yearly commitment subscriptions with annual billing. If you are paying by invoice, we will invoice you up to 30 (thirty) days before the beginning of the yearly commitment subscription period and each subsequent billing period, and other times during the subscription period when fees are payable. All amounts invoiced are due and payable within 30 (thirty) days from the date of the invoice, unless otherwise specified.

If the price is determined in Euro and the payment method used for the payment is based on local currency, the applicable exchange rate will be determined by your bank (or by your chosen payment provider). Finally, if any tax or charge (i.e. state or local privilege, excise, sales, VAT, use taxes, levies, or duties of any nature) applicable to our Services is not charged by us, you acknowledge that you are solely responsible for paying the tax or other such charge.

If we offer subscriptions to our Services at special discounted prices, have in mind that such special discounted prices will be applied for a limited time only, and upon expiration of the such period, the regular price will apply.

If we offer a free trial period of our Services for a limited time only, we may suspend, limit, or terminate such Services for any reason at any time without notice.

We reserve the right to change the pricing of our Services at any time. If this occurs, we will inform you about this at least 30 (thirty) days before the new prices take effect via e-mail. Also, if the price changes, 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 subscription period in which the change occurs.

When you decide to purchase our Services, Determ will ask you for certain information relevant to your purchase needed for our contractual relationship based on our Terms. Such information, depending on the payment method of choice and the Service purchased, may include: your name and surname, company billing name if applicable, e-mail, your billing address or company billing address if applicable, VAT number of the company if applicable, credit card number, credit/debit card number CVV/CCV code and credit/debit card expiration date, cardholder name, etc. Please have in mind that by providing such information you represent and warrant that you have the legal right to use the chosen payment method and that all the information you supply to us is true, correct, and complete.

Our Privacy Policy sets out how we will use the information you supply to us and it is part of these Terms. So, please do find out more about our Privacy policy.

Failure to Pay

We will provide you with notice of non-payment of any amount due. Unless the full amount has been paid, we may suspend your access to our Services and we reserve the right to immediately lock your Account, including, without limitation, any User Content. Any payment not received by the due date may accrue late fees at the rate of 1% of the outstanding balance per annum or at the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is lower, from the date such payment was due until the date paid. If your Account is suspended for non-payment, we may charge a re-activation fee or to reinstate your Account and subscription.

Termination of contract and refunds, compensation policy

The yearly commitment subscription period will end on the expiration date and the subscription cannot be canceled early. We do not provide refunds if you decide to stop using our Services during your subscription period with annual billing. If you decide to stop using our Services during subscription with monthly billing, you will be charged for the remaining number of months until the subscription period expires. To prevent renewal of your yearly commitment subscription, you must give written notice of non-renewal and this written notice must be received no less than 15 (fifteen) days in advance of the end of the subscription period. You may send the notice of non-renewal through your Account.

Otherwise, if you fail to send the notice of non-renewal at least 15 (fifteen) days before the end of the yearly commitment subscription period, your yearly commitment subscription will be automatically renewed for the successive 12 (twelve) months as explained in paragraph “Contractual Term” and you will be charged for the next yearly commitment subscription period fully.

For the customers still on the subscription without commitment – you can cancel our Services any time. You must cancel your subscription before it renews for the next month in order to avoid being charged for the next month cycle. If you fail to do so, you will be charged for the next month according to purchased Service. Either party may terminate this contract for cause, as to any or all Services: (i) upon 30 (thirty) days’ notice to the other party of a material breach if such breach remains uncured at the expiration of a such period, or (ii) immediately, if the other party becomes the subject of a petition in bankruptcy or any other proceeding relating to insolvency, liquidation or assignment for the benefit of creditors. We may also terminate this contract for cause on 30 (thirty) days’ notice if we determine that you are acting, or have acted, in a way that has or may negatively reflect on or affect us, our prospects, or our customers. This Contract may not otherwise be terminated prior to the end of the subscription period.

All requests for refunds and compensations must be received by email or phone within 5 business days of the incident in question. The amount of refund or compensation cannot exceed the monthly recurring charge. Please bear in mind that Determ started to provide you with the Service, Determ is not obliged to provide refunds or compensation.

Upon any expiration or termination of our Contract, your right to use the Services shall cease, and Determ shall have no further obligation to make the Services available to you. Also, Determ will have no obligation to maintain or provide any User data or other content to you, and will thereafter delete or destroy all copies of User data in its systems or otherwise in its possession or control or as Medatoolkit routinely does such deletions and destructions in the ordinary course of its business, unless legally prohibited from doing so.

Service change

If you purchased the yearly commitment subscription with monthly billing, you can upgrade your subscription package at any time. If you choose to downgrade your subscription after this upgrade, you can do so to your original subscription level. Downgrading below your original subscription is not permitted. If you purchased the yearly commitment subscription with annual billing, you can upgrade at any moment, and you will be charged the prorated amount until the end of your subscription period. Downgrading to your original subscription is not possible. If you purchased the subscription without commitment, you can upgrade or downgrade your subscription once a month to any package and you will be charged according to your chosen upgraded or downgraded package.

Fair usage

The term Fair Usage refers to the number of Mentions and Topics you have in your package (e.g. your plan consists of 20 topics and 50.000 mentions). In packages with unlimited Mentions and Topics, the Fair Usage limit for Mentions is 1.000.000 mentions, for Topics, that is 99 Topics. When you come to your mention limit, deleting a topic does not restart the counter. This means if you reach e.g., 50.000 mentions on the 20th day in the month, to continue monitoring you need to upgrade your plan or wait for new monthly period to start. Abusing this may result in your account being temporarily blocked.
