SUBSCRIPTIONS
The Service is billed on a subscription basis. You will be billed in advance on a recurring and periodic basis (“Billing Cycle”). Billing cycles are set either on a monthly or annual basis, depending on the type of subscription plan you select when purchasing a Subscription. When you sign up for a subscription, you can choose automatic renewal or whether you want to sign up from time to time. You may cancel your Subscription renewal by contacting us by email on support@biolink.me A valid payment method (all Visa cards and MasterCard) is required to process the payment for your Subscription. You shall pay the service via Stripe. BIOLINK.ME does not process or acquire the data necessary for the payment as, for the payments, we use the service offered by an external party (https://paypal.com), so please read carefully their contractual terms and their Privacy Policy before proceeding with the payment. BIOLINK.ME shall not be liable in any way for any deficiencies or inefficiencies deriving from this external party. Should automatic billing fail to occur for any reason, BIOLINK.ME will issue an electronic invoice indicating that you must proceed manually, within a certain deadline date, with the full payment corresponding to the billing period.
Free Trial
BIOLINK.ME may, at its sole discretion, offer a Subscription with a free trial for a limited period of time (“Free Trial”). You are not required to enter your billing information in order to sign up for the Free Trial. If you do enter your billing information when signing up for the Free Trial, you will NOT be charged by BIOLINK.ME until the Free Trial has expired. At any time and without notice, BIOLINK.ME reserves the right to (i) modify the terms and conditions of the Free Trial offer, or (ii) cancel such Free Trial offer. In any case, you will not be charged for the trial period.
Fee Charges
BIOLINK.ME, in its sole discretion and at any time, may modify the Subscription fees for the Subscriptions. Any Subscription fee change will become effective at the end of the then-current Billing Cycle. BIOLINK.ME will provide you with a reasonable prior notice of any change in Subscription fees to give you an opportunity to terminate your Subscription before such change becomes effective. Your continued use of the Service after the Subscription fee change comes into effect constitutes your agreement to pay the modified Subscription fee amount.
Refunds
BIOLINK.ME offers non tangible services and for this reason we DO NOT honor refund requests. No compensation shall be due if it is impossible to perform or if it is the result of a cause not attributable to BIOLINK.ME (e.g. the disruption is due to a third party such as the server provider, failure or new blocks imposed by a social media platform). In any case, a refund cannot be requested for a minor disruption of 5 consecutive days. The refund will be calculated in proportion to the amount paid and the days of disservice. The software provides many services, including by way of example: creating biolink pages, link scheduling or shortening, deep linking, enabling social media blocks, the ability to upload photos directly from your PC. It should be noted that the malfunctioning of only one of these functions, even if for more than 5 consecutive days, does not give the right to a refund. A possible slowness of the software, a circumstance that may be due to numerous circumstances outside the control of BIOLINK.ME, does not give the right to a refund. The cancellation of your account due to your default, breach of this contract or violation of the law does not entitle you to a refund of the amount already paid. You can also cancel your account before the end of the subscription period, either directly in the dedicated section or by asking BIOLINK.ME, but this does not give you any right to obtain a refund outside of the circumstances mentioned above.
ATTENTION: If you delete your account this will result in the permanent deletion of all your data. Therefore, if you want to cancel your account due to alleged disruption, before proceeding with the cancellation contact the BIOLINK.ME support and ask for a refund explaining the reasons, otherwise no refund will be guaranteed to you to any extent. This is because, once the BIOLINK.ME account has been deleted, it is no longer possible to verify whether or not there has actually been a malfunction of the software, so the request will automatically be considered reckless and specious.
