2.2 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Prices, descriptions or availability of Products are outlined in the respective sections of Respond.io and are subject to change without notice.

While Products on Respond.io are presented with the greatest accuracy technically possible, representation on Respond.io through any means (including, as the case may be, graphic material, images, colors, sounds) is for reference only and implies no warranty as to the characteristics of the purchased Product.

The characteristics of the chosen Product will be outlined during the purchasing process and in the dedicated sections of Respond.io.

2.3 ORDER SUBMISSION

Any steps taken from choosing a Product to order submission form part of the purchasing process. Users must choose the desired Product and verify their purchase selection. After having reviewed the information displayed in the purchase selection, Users may place the order by submitting it.

When the User submits an order, the following applies:

  • The submission of an order determines contract conclusion and therefore creates for the User the obligation to pay the price, taxes and possible further fees and expenses, as specified on the order page.
  • In case the purchased Product requires active input from the User, such as the provision of personal information or data, specifications or special wishes, the order submission creates an obligation for the User to cooperate accordingly.

2.4 PRICES

Users are informed during the purchasing process and before order submission, about any fees, taxes and costs  that they will be charged.

Unless specified, Prices are displayed exclusive of any applicable fees, taxes and costs, depending on the section the User is browsing.

The Company, in its sole discretion and at any time, may modify the Subscription fees. Any Subscription fee change will become effective at the end of the then-current Subscription period. The Company will provide Users with reasonable prior notice of any change in Subscription fees.

The continued use of the Service after the Subscription fee change comes into effect shall constitute an agreement to pay the modified Subscription fee amount.

2.5 REFUNDS

Except when required by law, paid Subscription fees are non-refundable.  There will be no refunds or credits for partial periods of service, upgrade/downgrade refunds, or refunds for service periods unused.

Certain refund requests for Subscriptions may be considered by the Company on a case-by-case basis and granted at the sole discretion of the Company.

2.6 DISCOUNTS

The Company may offer discounts or provide special offers for the purchase of Products. Any such offer or discount shall always be subject to the eligibility criteria and the terms and conditions set out in the corresponding section of Respond.io. 

Offers and discounts are always granted at the Company’s sole discretion. Repeated or recurring offers or discounts create no claim/title or right that Users may enforce in the future.

Depending on the case, discounts or offers shall be valid for a limited time. If an offer or discount is limited by time, the time indications refer to the time zone of the Company, as indicated in the Company’s location details in this document.

Discounts can be based on Coupons. If breach of the conditions applicable to Coupons occurs, the Company can legitimately refuse to fulfill its contractual obligations and expressly reserves the right to take appropriate legal action to protect its rights and interests. Unless otherwise stated, these rules apply to the use of Coupons:

  • Each Coupon is only valid when used in the manner and within the timeframe specified;
  • A Coupon may only be applied, in its entirety, at the actual time of purchase – partial use is not permitted;
  • Unless otherwise stated, single-use Coupons may only be used once per purchase and therefore may only be applied a single time even in cases involving recurring purchases;
  • A Coupon cannot be applied cumulatively;
  • The User is not entitled to any credit/refund/compensation if there is a difference between the value of the Coupon and the redeemed value;

Unless otherwise specified, all discounts shall expire at the end of the first billing period. 

2.7 METHODS OF PAYMENT

Information related to accepted payment methods are made available during the purchasing process. Some payment methods may only be available subject to additional conditions or fees. In such cases related information can be found in the dedicated section of Respond.io.

Payment methods marked accordingly are managed directly by the Company. In this case, the Company collects and stores the data necessary for the processing of payments and for fulfilling any legal obligation related to them. The User may read the privacy policy of Respond.io to learn more about the data processing and Users’ rights regarding their data.

Other payment methods – if any – are independently provided by third-party services. In such cases Respond.io collects no payment information – such as credit card details – but only receives a notification from the relevant third-party provider once the payment has been successfully completed.

If payment through the available methods fail, the Company shall be under no obligation to fulfil the purchase order. Any possible costs or fees resulting from the failed or refused payment shall be borne by the User.

2.8 SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD

Subscriptions allow Users to receive a Product continuously or regularly over a determined period of time. Unless otherwise stated in the Order Form, Paid subscriptions begin on the day the payment is received by the Company.

The Service or some parts of the Service are available only with a paid Subscription. You will be billed in advance on a recurring and periodic basis (such as monthly, quarterly or annually), depending on the type of Subscription plan you select when purchasing the Subscription.

In order to maintain subscriptions, Users must pay the required recurring fee in a timely manner. Failure to do so may cause service interruptions.

AUTOMATIC RENEWAL

Subscriptions are automatically renewed through the payment method that the User chose during purchase, unless the User cancels the subscription within the deadlines for termination specified in the relevant section of these Terms and/or Respond.io. The renewed subscription will last for a period equal to the original term.

Should automatic billing fail to occur for any reason, the Company will issue an electronic invoice indicating that the User must proceed manually. The Company reserves the right to freeze User’s access to Respond.io until any outstanding invoices have been paid.

TERMINATION

Recurring subscriptions may be terminated at any time by sending a clear and unambiguous termination notice to the Company using the contact details provided in this document, or — if applicable — by using the corresponding controls inside Respond.io. Subscriptions may not be terminated prematurely and shall run out upon expiration of the subscription term.

If the notice of termination is received by the Company before the subscription renews, the termination shall take effect at the end of the current period, otherwise the automatic renewal shall apply.

2.9 ADDITIONAL CHARGES

Users may incur additional charges if the usage over the billing month exceeds their Subscription’s limit. The Subcription limits are detailed in the purchasing process and in the respective sections of Respond.io. User agrees to pay any additional charges incurred at the end of each billing month.

2.10 LATE PAYMENT

Any failure to make a payment of any Fees or taxes entitle the Company to suspend, in whole or in part, access to Services, until such payment is received. Unless otherwise stated in the Order Form, the Company shall assess and Customer shall pay a late fee equal to the lesser of 10% of the outstanding balance per month or the maximum rate / fee permitted by law in the jurisdiction where the User is located. Furthermore, upon any such failure all outstanding amounts shall become due and payable without further delay.

This Agreement gives Users specific legal rights, and Users may also have other rights which vary from state to state. The disclaimers and exclusions under this agreement shall not apply to the extent prohibited by applicable law.

Should any provision of these Terms be deemed or become invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions, which shall remain in full force and effect.

SEVERABILITY: US USERS

Any such invalid or unenforceable provision will be interpreted, construed and reformed to the extent reasonably required to render it valid, enforceable and consistent with its original intent.

Should any provision of these Terms be or be deemed void, invalid or unenforceable, the parties shall do their best to find, in an amicable way, an agreement on valid and enforceable provisions thereby substituting the void, invalid or unenforceable parts.

In case of failure to do so, the void, invalid or unenforceable provisions shall be replaced by the applicable statutory provisions, if so permitted or stated under the applicable law.

Without prejudice to the above, the nullity, invalidity or the impossibility to enforce a particular provision of these Terms shall not nullify the entire Agreement, unless the severed provisions are essential to the Agreement, or of such importance that the parties would not have entered into the contract if they had known that the provision would not be valid, or in cases where the remaining provisions would translate into an unacceptable hardship on any of the parties.
