Customer Agreement
Last Updated August 30, 2020
The terms and conditions below (“Customer Agreement”) supplement and amend the Terms of Use (“ToU”), available at Terms of Use. If there is any conflict between the Customer Agreement and the ToU, the applicable terms in the Customer Agreement will prevail.
Subscription
Our Services are billed on a subscription basis (Called “Subscription”
and “Subscriptions”).
You agree to pay for Subscriptions that You purchase or use, according to the
pricing and payment terms presented to
You on an order form, on our Service, or in, in special circumstances, on a
Subscription offer sent from Sparkin.
Trials
Sparkin may offer limited-time access to paid Subscriptions (referred to as “Trials”). When using a Trial, You are granted access to the features of a given Subscription on a Space for a limited amount of time (the “Trial Period”), disclosed at the outset of the Trial. If You have already registered payment information on the relevant Account, the Trial will automatically turn into a paid Subscription with Monthly Billing at the end of the Trial period, if it is not canceled before.
Billing
You can choose to pay for a Subscription either on a monthly basis
(“Monthly Billing”) or on a yearly basis (“Yearly Billing”). This “Billing Cycle”
governs the length of the “Billing Period”, the time for which a Subscription is
paid.
You can find your Subscription Fees, Billing start and end date, by clicking on the
Profile link in the dropdown menu under Your username and then by clicking
“Settings” (Administrator Account only) and accessing “Subscriptions” tab.
Payment Terms
You hereby agree to automatic renewal of Subscriptions. This means that any
Subscription You purchase will renew at
the end of its Billing Period, unless You cancel it before.
By registering a credit card with Sparkin, You hereby agree to recurring billing.
You authorized Us (or a designated
third-party provider) to bill and automatically charge Your Credit Card on the (or
close to the) same date every
Billing Period, starting from the time a Subscription is bought or updated or You
change Your Billing Cycle.
Payments for Subscriptions must always be made in advance and payment is due
immediately when Subscribing and will
be considered unpaid if it remains unpaid (7) days past the invoice date. Any late
payment will be subject to any
costs of collection (including reasonable legal fees) and will bear interest at the
rate of one and one-half percent
(1.5%) per month (prorated for partial periods) or at the maximum rate permitted by
law, whichever is less. If You
have set up a direct debit, SWe will not debit your designated account before seven
(7) days have elapsed from the
date of the invoice. If You are delinquent on a payment of fees for fifteen (15)
days or more, We may suspend access
to the Application. Complaints concerning invoices must be made in writing within
thirty (30) days from the date of
the invoice. Invoices will be sent by electronic delivery.
Change in Subscription Plans
Changes can be made to subscriptions in the middle of their terms. For example, a subscription may be upgraded or downgraded to a different plan, or quantities may be added or removed. Since this introduces a change in the price of the subscription, prorated credits and charges will be raised to ensure proper billing.
Proration does not apply to coupons that accompany your plans. As rebates on the items in your plans and addons, coupons are not prorated.
Sample - Plan Quantity Upgrade
Subscription created with plan quantity 1, on the 1st of October
Plan Amount: $10
Invoice generated: $10x 1 (qty)= $10
Invoice is paid
Subscription was changed on the 16th of October
New subscription quantity: 3
Credit Note will not be generated.
A new invoice is generated for the 2 additional quantities
New Invoice generated: $5 x 2= $10
Sample - Plan Quantity Downgrade
Subscription created with plan quantity 2, on the 1st of September
Plan Amount: $10
Invoice Generated: $10x 2 (qty)= $20
Invoice is Paid
Subscription is changed on the 16th of September
New subscription quantity: 1
Invoice will not be generated
Prorated Refundable Credits $5x 1 (qty)= $5 will be issued
Cancel Subscription
An active subscription can be canceled any time.
If you cancel the Services before the end of your current subscription period, the
cancellation will take effect at
the end of current term. (The subscription status will be shown as
non-renewing). For clarity, amounts paid are non-refundable for monthly plans. You
will not be charged for any subsequent subscription periods.
Your Content will not be deleted from the Services and you will be moved to Free
plan. If you want to delete your account
you can raise a support ticket.
Reactivating Canceled Subscription
To re-start the billing for a canceled subscription, you can ‘reactivate' your subscription.
Pause Subscription
We currently do not provide any facility to pause the subscription.
