APPENDIX

Terms of Service for Paid Subscriptions

The following additional terms apply for fee-based accounts purchasing any paid subscription plan of the Service only (“You” or “Customer”).

  1. Subscription

    Potix, in its sole discretion, may offer you a free version of the Service (“Free Plan”) at no charge. Free Plan is subject to certain limitations with limited features and is not eligible for technical support services. Potix’s indemnity does not apply to use of Free Plan. In order to extend features and increase the usage quota of the Service, you can select to purchase any paid subscription plan of the Service (“Paid Plan”) on yearly or monthly basis. Depending on the Paid Plan you select, you will be entitled to varying number of features and different limits. Further information regarding the scope and pricing of these Free and Paid Plans are available at https://quire.io/pricing.

  2. Payment and Auto Renewal

    You shall pay all fees and any associated taxes related to its subscription immediately at the beginning of the subscription period. All paid fees and taxes are non-refundable.

    You may cancel its subscription at any time, but such cancellation will be effective at the end of then-current subscription period. As the subscription will be automatically renewed, the subscription must be cancelled before it renews in order to avoid billing of the applicable fees for the next billing cycle. If no effective cancellation, Customer’s credit card, PayPal account or other approved payment method used to subscribe, will be automatically charged on the next billing cycle. The billing cycles are set either on a monthly or annual basis, depending on the type of subscription plan you select.

    You shall be responsible for providing us with a valid means of payment for the subscription. If Customer is late on payment for the subscribed Paid Plan, Potix may suspend or terminate the Service until the payment is made in full along with the late payment interests.

    Paddle is our trusted online reseller for payment processing. The auto-renewal process implemented by Paddle operates on Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). If you have any questions regarding order and payment processing, you can contact us or Paddle.

  3. Change Plan or Billing Cycle

    Customer shall purchase a Paid Plan for each end user within that account. Customer may upgrade or downgrade its Paid Plan and add end users to its account at any time.

    If Customer chooses to upgrade to a higher-level Paid Plan or add end users to its account during the subscription period, any incremental cost will be prorated over the remaining term of the subscription period and charged to the account immediately. The adjusted new billing rate will be reflected on the next billing cycle.

    If Customer downgrades to a lower-level Paid Plan or reduce the number of end users during the subscription period, you will receive a credit to your account. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no credit will be issued for downgrading from a Paid Plan to a Free Plan. Credits may only be used for new purchase of paid subscription. Credits are non-transferable and cannot be redeemed for cash. Any unused credit will be removed when your account is terminated. If you choose to downgrade the plan level, cancel the subscription or terminate the account, you may lose access to Content, features, or capacity of your account. Potix is not liable for such loss.

    Customer may choose to change the billing cycle before the end of the subscription period, switching from a monthly to an annual subscription billing interval, or vice versa. If you change your billing cycle from monthly to annually, it will be effective immediately. This means your new billing cycle will commence on the day of the change and extend for one year. Any remaining payment you made for that month will be proportionally deducted from the annual fee you will be charged. If you change your billing cycle from annually to monthly, it will be effective at the next billing date.

  4. No Refunds

    All fees and all taxes paid are non-refundable and non-transferable. Regardless of your billing cycle, there are no refunds for partial periods of paid Service, subscription downgrades, cancellations or terminations, months or years unused, or from switching billing cycle; however, the Service will remain active for the length of the paid billing period.

  5. Price Change

    The price of Paid Plans is subject to change at any time. The then-current price will remain for the duration of then-current billing period. The new price will be effective on your next billing cycle. You have the option to cancel your subscription at any time before the new price applied.

  6. Taxes

    The fees do not include any taxes, duties or similar governmental assessments, including but not limited to value-added, sales, use or withholding taxes assessable by any government (collectively “Taxes”). Customer agrees to pay applicable direct or indirect Taxes associated with its purchases. If Customer has an obligation to withhold any amounts under any law or tax regime, you shall gross up or reimburse the payments so that Potix receives the full amount quoted and invoiced.
