IF YOU ARE ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT ON BEHALF OF A COMPANY OR OTHER LEGAL ENTITY, YOU REPRESENT THAT YOU HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO BIND SUCH ENTITY, ITS AFFILIATES AND ALL USERS WHO ACCESS OUR SERVICES THROUGH YOUR ACCOUNT TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, IN WHICH CASE THE TERMS "YOU" OR "YOUR" SHALL REFER TO SUCH ENTITY, ITS AFFILIATES AND USERS ASSOCIATED WITH IT. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE SUCH AUTHORITY, OR IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, YOU MUST NOT ACCEPT THIS AGREEMENT AND MAY NOT USE THE SERVICES.

If you are using the Service based on a specific explicit or implicit agreement between you and Compellio S.A., or a partner of Compellio S.A., the terms and conditions of the specific agreement and its potential revisions supersede the terms herein.

If Compellio makes material changes to these Terms, we will notify you by email or by posting a notice on our site before the changes are effective. Any new features that augment or enhance the current Service, including the release of new tools and resources, shall be subject to the Terms of Service. Continued use of the Service after any such changes shall constitute your consent to such changes. You can review the most current version of the Terms of Service at any time at: http://compell.io/terms

Violation of any of the terms below will result in the termination of your Account. While Compellio prohibits such conduct and Content on the Service, you understand and agree that Compellio cannot be responsible for the Content posted on the Service and you nonetheless may be exposed to such materials. You agree to use the Service at your own risk.

1. Use of the service

Your login may only be used by one person, a single login by multiple people is not permitted.

You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account and password. Compellio cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage from your failure to comply with this security obligation.

You are responsible for all Content posted and activity that occurs under your account and the Projects Owned by you, even when Content is posted by Users who are not affiliated with, or are businesswise related to you.

You may not use the Service for any illegal or unauthorized purpose. You must not, in the use of the Service, violate any laws in its jurisdiction (including but not limited to copyright or trademark laws).

2. Payment and upgrading terms

All paid plans must enter a valid payment account. Users working by invitation only are not required to provide payment account information.

An upgrade from a free plan to any paying plan will immediately bill you.

The Service is billed in advance on a yearly basis and is non-refundable. There will be no refunds or credits for partial months of service, upgrade refunds, or refunds for months unused with an open account. In order to treat everyone equally, no exceptions will be made.

When subscribing to a given plan it is not possible to downgrade.

For upgrades while in your yearly billing cycle, Compellio will immediately charge the difference in plan cost, prorated for the remaining time in your billing cycle.

In case of non-renewal the Service expires at the term of the current billing cycle.

All fees are exclusive of all taxes, levies, or duties imposed by taxing authorities, and you shall be responsible for payment of all such taxes, levies, or duties. For some B2C subscription plans, if you are established in a country where Value-Added Tax (VAT) applies, VAT may already be included in the final price of the Service. In such cases the Service would clearly indicate the kind of taxes that are included in the final price.

3. Cancellation, deletion and termination

You are solely responsible for properly cancelling your subscription to the Service. An email request to cancel your account is not considered cancellation.

If you cancel your subscription before the end of your current paid cycle, your cancellation will take effect immediately and you will not be charged again.

You may delete your account at any moment. In case of deletion of your Content will be immediately removed from the Service. This information cannot be recovered once your account is deleted. Deleting your account implies irrevocable loss of all your current subscriptions.

Compellio will not refund you in case of accidental deletion of your account.

Compellio in its sole discretion has the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all current or future use of the Service in case of non-respect of the present agreement at any time. Such termination of the Service will result in the deactivation or deletion of your account or access to your account, and the forfeiture and relinquishment of all Content in your account. Compellio reserves the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason at any time.
