2: Service Terms

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, We provide the services (“Services”) in accordance with subscription plans (“Subscription(s)”) paid on a monthly or annual basis and assigned to Your account.  Once You have created an account with Us and purchased a Subscription, Your account will accrue a certain number of minutes per month, which may be applied to time that We spend providing Services in accordance with the terms of Your Subscription.  The number of monthly minutes, range of Services offered, monthly or annual pricing, and hourly overage pricing terms associated with the various Subscription options that We offer. Each Subscription must be associated with a single specific web site or domain name. 

We are not obligated to provide any Services in relation to any web site or domain name that are outside the scope of those Services included in Your Subscription for such web site or domain name.  In any event, all time that We spend providing Services in connection with Your account will be accounted for in fifteen (15) minute increments.

Minutes that You do not apply to Services in the month that they accrue to Your account will “roll over” and be available for Your use in subsequent months except for unlimited plans.  Minutes will be applied to Services on a “first accrued” basis, so that remaining minutes accrued to Your account in earlier months will be applied prior to more recently accrued minutes.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon termination of a Subscription, all minutes associated with that Subscription will expire, and will no longer be available for You to apply to Services.  Similarly, minutes that are not applied to Services within twelve (12) months of accrual to Your account will expire, and will no longer be available for You to apply to Services.  On a case-by-case basis, upon renewal of a terminated Subscription, We may, in Our sole discretion, elect to reactivate minutes that previously expired due to termination of the Subscription.  If at any time Your account has no remaining minutes accrued to it, We are not obligated to spend any time providing any Services on Your behalf.  However, if We elect to provide Services to You in excess of the number of minutes accrued to Your account, all time that We spend providing Services in excess of the minutes accrued to Your account will be billed at the rate provided for in Your Subscription plan.

Upon signing up for Your Subscription, We will provide written notice to You through Your account and/or an Authorized Contact confirming the nature of the Services and the pricing associated with such Subscription.  You agree that You will contact Us immediately if You believe any details in such confirmation notice are inaccurate, and Your use of the Services after receipt of such confirmation constitutes Your acknowledgment and agreement to the details of Your Subscription as set forth in such written confirmation.

Conditioned on Your compliance with this Agreement, creation of an account with Us, and purchase of a Subscription, We shall make the Services available to You in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and Your Subscription plan for so long as Your Subscription remains active.

From time to time We may make available to You through Your account, an Authorized Contact, or otherwise reports describing the Services.  If You object to any action described in such reports, You shall promptly contact Us to discuss such action.  Failure to do so within ten (10) calendar days of such a report being made available to You shall be deemed approval of all actions described in such report.

We reserve the right to modify the Site, the Services, Subscription plans, and pricing that We provide at any time. 

We may also endeavor to notify You of any Service, Subscription, or pricing changes through Your account, an Authorized Contact, or otherwise.  Your continued visitation, access, or use of the Site or the Services after any modifications have been posted to the (“DASHBOARD”) https://dashboard.tec4digital.com/ web page or otherwise made available to You shall constitute Your agreement to all such modifications.  If You do not consent to any modification, Your sole remedy shall be to terminate Your Subscription(s).  You agree that Your Subscriptions and other purchases made in connection with this Agreement are neither contingent on the delivery of any future functionality or features nor dependent on any oral or written public comments made by Us regarding future functionality or features.
