Our company provides website features and other products and services to you when you visit our website, use products or services, use applications for mobile, or use software provided by our company in connection with any of the foregoing (collectively, “Services”). The foregoing list of types of Services is not all-inclusive and additional types of Services may be offered by us from time to time.

Our company provides the Services subject to the conditions presented in these Terms. Your access to and use of the Services is conditioned on your acceptance of and compliance with these Terms. These Terms apply to all visitors, users and others who access or use the Services.

By accessing or using the Services you agree, on behalf of yourself and those you represent, to be bound by these Terms, as well as our privacy policy and all applicable laws.

Using any Service constitutes your acceptance of the Terms as modified.

In addition, when using particular features of the Services, you are subject to any posted guidelines, terms or rules applicable to such Services.

If the Services are used in a manner that violates the Terms in any way, we may at our sole discretion, but are not required to, suspend or terminate your account, disable your access to the Services and/or take any steps that it deems appropriate to address the situation.

Subscriptions and Payments

We provide premium level services to holders of ‘___’, ‘___’, ‘___’ or ‘___’ subscription plans ("Subscription(s)", “Plan(s)”). These Services are billed on a subscription basis.

To register for Subscriptions, you must be at least 18 years of age and have a valid Account to our Services. In addition to the general terms and conditions provided for by these Terms, the following terms and conditions apply specifically to Subscription holders:

Services available to Subscription holders are described on the Plans page of the Certison Service’s website.
We may modify, suspend or discontinue Services provided to Subscription holders at any time at our sole discretion and without prior notice.
Subscription based Services are available on a monthly or yearly payment-period principle.
You agree that you will pay for all Subscriptions and products you purchase through the Services, and we may charge your payment method for any products purchased and for any additional amounts (including any taxes and late fees, as applicable) that may be accrued by or in connection with your Account.
You are responsible for providing us with a valid payment method for payment of all fees, such as valid and updated credit card information, or with a valid purchase order or alternative document reasonably acceptable to us. If you provide credit card information to us, you authorize us to charge such credit card for purchases made under its associated Account, for the initial subscription period and any renewal subscription periods. We’ll automatically bill you from the date you signed up for a Subscription and on each periodic renewal until cancellation. You are responsible for all applicable taxes, and we will charge tax when required to do so.
We may provide new annual Subscription holders with a ____ (__) day trial period and will provide a full refund if you choose to terminate your Subscription within this period by providing a notice in writing to us of your Subscription termination that will be effective upon receipt (the “Termination Date”). If you choose to terminate your Subscription after the __-day trial period, you are not entitled to any refund for any fees paid for your Subscription.
We may offer, during the registration process, a one-time free trial period during which you can try out our Subscriptions for 30 days from the date you register to use the Services without pre-paying in advance (“Free Trial Period”). To view the specific details regarding your Free Trial Period, if any, visit the Certison Service’s website and click “Your Account”, accessible after logging in to the Certison Service.
If you participate in a Free Trial Period, you must cancel the Subscription by the end of the Free Trial Period to avoid incurring any charges. If you do not cancel the Subscription before the Free Trial Period expires, you authorize us to charge your credit card the full cost of your Plan, as described to you during the subscription process. Your Plan will then automatically renew and continue month-to-month or year-to-year (depending on your Plan), unless and until you cancel your Plan or we terminate it. You will not receive a notice from Certison that your Free Trial Period is about to end or has ended.
You will be billed in advance on a recurring monthly or yearly basis, depending on your Plan. Payment obligations are non-cancelable, and fees paid are non-refundable. The level of the purchased Plan cannot be decreased during the ongoing pre-paid billing period.
Your Plan payment will automatically renew and continue month-to-month or year-to-year (depending on your Plan), unless and until you cancel your Plan or we terminate it.
You may cancel your Plan subscription via the cancellation link provided on the “Your Account” page, accessible after logging in to the Certison Service, or by sending an email to support@certison.com.
If you cancel your Plan before the end of your current pre-paid period, you will not be charged again for your Plan beginning with the next billing cycle. If you cancel your Plan, you will lose access, upon the expiration of your current pre-paid period, to the features of the Subscription Plan in question, and any data or information stored in your account.
We do not provide refunds on monthly or yearly subscription payments. Once you cancel your monthly or yearly payment, you’ll maintain access to your upgraded features until the end of your current pre-paid period.
We reserve the right to change prices of our Services at any time. Such changes will be effective as of the first billing cycle that occurs more than thirty (30) days after notice of our new fees, described on the Plans page of the Certison Service’s website.
We reserve the right to terminate or deactivate your access to the Services for failure to pay applicable fees as described in these Terms.

Termination

We may terminate or suspend access to our Services immediately, without prior notice or liability, for any reason whatsoever, including without limitation if you breach the Terms. Upon termination of your Account, your right to use the Services will immediately cease. All provisions of the Terms which by their nature should survive termination shall survive termination, including, without limitation, ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, indemnity and limitations of liability.

You may terminate your Account at any time on the “Your Account” page, accessible after logging in to the Certison Service, or by sending an email to support@certison.com. If you terminate your Account during an active monthly or yearly Subscription plan period, you will immediately lose all access to the Services and any data or information stored within your Account. When terminating an Account during an active monthly or yearly Subscription plan period, payment refunds will not be provided to you (see the “Subscriptions and Payments” section for additional details).

Upon terminating your account, you will immediately lose all access to the Services and any data or information stored within your account.
