6.4 The trial period may be terminated after the first two days (where the account is locked) at any time with one day’s notice. After the trial period expires, your subscription will automatically continue unless you actively terminate it.

6.6 During the free trial period the customer may be restricted from accessing specific content(s) or feature(s), either in quantity, length of time or as a whole. JumpStory reserves the right to alter the restricted content(s) or feature(s) at any given time, and without perior notice.

7. HOW TO PAY FOR YOUR SUBSCRIPTION

7.1 Our prices depend on your subscription period and can be found here. Prices are quoted in US Dollars.

7.2 The term may be monthly or on an annual basis, as described and your subscription begins upon payment of a first installment of subscription fees. The subscription renews monthly or annually as applicable upon the payment of automatically recurring subscription fees. Monthly or annual fees are charged in advance, on the same day of the month that the subscription began (for example, if a monthly subscription began on the 29th, 30th, or 31st day of a month, then membership will renew on the last day of any month that doesn’t have as many days).

7.3 Payment is made with the means of payment methods stated on our Website. Payments for the subscription are charged every month, or every year, in advance, based on the subscription plan chosen at the sign up process.

7.4 We use a secure payment server to restrict unauthorized persons from having access to your payment information.

7.5 You are responsible for updating your payment information if your payment method is incorrect, blocked or expired. You can do this when you are logged in to the Website, or by contacting support@jumpstory.com. Not updating your payment information may result in the restricting of your account.

7.6 Payment(s) made by an incorrect card will not be refunded until a new invoice is issued, and the amount is paid by the correct payment method.

8. CHANGE IN PRICING

8.1 All prices/fees are subject to revisions. Price increases will be notified one (1) month in advance and will take effect from the next invoice period. You can therefore terminate your subscription, giving the required notice and coinciding with the end of your current payment period, before the price increase takes effect.

9. HOW TO TERMINATE YOUR SUBSCRIPTION

9.1 You can terminate your subscription at one day’s notice. You terminate your subscription by logging onto the Service at our Website.

9.2 Failure to pay for your subscription, for example by deleting your payment information, will not be seen as termination and does not relieve you of the obligation to pay.

9.3 Your subscription may be paused for a duration chosen initially. Your subscription will activate automatically at the end of the paused period. You will not be refunded if your subscription was not cancelled during the paused period.

10. ACCESS TO THE SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE

10.1 The primary features of the Service are compatible with the most widely used operating systems and Internet browsers. We endeavor to make the Service available all year, seven (7) days a week. However, there may be operational disruptions due to technical conditions.

10.2 We cannot guarantee that the Service will always be free of errors or interruptions. If errors or omissions are found or interrupted in the Service, we have the right to remedy them without any breach of these Terms. We also have the right, within reasonable limits, to close the Service, e.g. to perform upgrades and maintenance, on an ongoing basis.

10.3 Development of new functionality, including integrations, may be added to the Services in the future and subject to additional Service Fees.

11. SUSPENSION OF THE SERVICE

11.1 If your subscription payment is past due or where we have a reasonable belief that you are misusing the Service, or violating the Terms or User Behavior we have the right to suspend your access to the Service – without notice or your prior consent. We will attempt notify you as soon as possible after your access has been suspended. The suspension will cease when all overdue amounts have been paid or no reasonable belief of misuse.

11.2 In the case of a breach of these Terms, we may cancel the subscription in our sole discretion. Cancellation does not relieve you of your payment obligation towards us, and you will not be entitled in such cases to a refund of any payments already paid.

11.3 A customer is considered a user as long as their subscription is active, even if they do not use the Service. It is the customer’s responsibility to terminate their subscription in case they are not interested in using the Service anymore. A refund will not be issued on the basis of not using the Service during an active subscription. (More below)

12. REFUND POLICY

12.1 If you cancel the Service after the end of the trial period, your payment is non-refundable, and the Service will continue until the end of the billing period. The subscription renews automatically at the end of each billing period.

12.2 When you cancel the Service, you cancel only future charges associated with your subscription. Cancellations are effective at the end of the current billing period, and as such, JumpStory does not offer prorated refunds for cancelled subscriptions. You will not receive a refund for the current billing cycle as you will continue to have the same access and benefits of your subscription for the remainder of the current billing period.

12.3 A refund will not be provided in the following situations:

  • You have changed your mind about the Service.
  • You bought the Service by mistake.
  • You forgot to/did not cancel the Service during the trial period.
  • You forgot to/did not cancel the Service during the paused period.
  • You forgot to/did not cancel the Service before it renewed.
  • You do not have sufficient expertise to use the Service.
  • You did not use the Service.
  • You ask for goodwill.

12.4 We reserve the right to issue refunds or credits at our sole discretion. If we issue a refund or credit, we are under no obligation to issue the same or similar refund in the future.

12.5 Disputes lodged with payment agents: If, as a user via your JumpStory account, you lodge a dispute with a payment agent, this will result in a freezing of your JumpStory account until the dispute raised with the payment agent has been cancelled. This makes it very complex to resolve any related issues and means we cannot make payments or issue refunds out of your JumpStory account, so we encourage buyers to contact us directly first to see if we can help resolve any concerns.

12.6 If the currency needs to be converted for the refund, then the current currency rate, and not the currency rate at the time of the order, is used in the conversion.
