Terms of Service
Last updated: May 24th, 2018
PLEASE READ THESE TERMS OF SERVICE CAREFULLY. THESE TERMS OF SERVICE CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, REMEDIES AND OBLIGATIONS. THESE INCLUDE LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY AND A DISCLAIMER OF ALL WARRANTIES.
These Terms of Service (referred to herein as these “Terms of Service” or this “Agreement”) are between InstaCheckin Inc. (“InstaCheckin”, “We”, “Us” or “Our”) and you (collectively, “Customer,” “You” or “Your”). By implementing or using the Service (as defined below) on Your website, service or application, or by using, or signing up for an account on Our Site, You agree that You are authorized to accept this Agreement on behalf of Yourself and that You are bound by this Agreement. If You are agreeing to this Agreement for use of the Service by an organization, then You are agreeing to this Agreement on behalf of that organization (and “Customer,” “You” and “Your” will refer to that organization). You must have the authority to bind that organization to this Agreement; otherwise You must not sign up for the Service. By using the Service, You are representing and warranting that You are over the age of 18, or the legal age of majority in Your jurisdiction of residence. InstaCheckin does not make the Service available to anyone under the age of 13.
Your use of the Service and each website (each a “Site”) owned and operated by InstaCheckin are governed by these Terms of Service. The Service is comprised of certain InstaCheckin proprietary software (the “Software”) that allows You to obtain statistics based on website visitors to Your website, service, or application, (the Software and services provided thereby and from Our Sites shall be collectively known as the “Service(s)”). You must affirmatively agree to and indicate Your acceptance of these Terms of Service and the Privacy Policy (individually or collectively the “Agreement”) in order to use the Service. IF YOU DO NOT ACCEPT THIS AGREEMENT IN ITS ENTIRETY, YOU MAY NOT ACCESS OR USE THE SITE OR THE SERVICE.
Please note that if You have executed a separate written agreement with InstaCheckin regarding Your use of certain of Our Services, then that agreement, and not these Terms of Service, applies to those Services.
If You enter into an “Order Form” signed by You and Us that expressly refers to these Terms of Service, then the following terms apply:
If You enter into an “Order Form” signed by You and Us that expressly refers to these Terms of Service, then the following terms apply:
- Except as expressly set forth in the Order, no Free Trial (defined below) or related free or trial-period termination right shall apply to Services purchased under an Order Form. The Services purchased under the Order Form, shall be considered a “Paid Plan” as defined below. All amounts stated in the Order Form shall be payable within thirty (30) days of the date of invoice;
- The subscription period for the Services you purchase under the Order Form, shall be the “Service Term” set forth in the Order Form. Following the expiration of the initial Service Term, the subscription period shall automatically renew for successive one year periods (each, an additional Service Term), unless one party provides the other with written notice of termination at least thirty (30) days prior to the then-current Service Term; and
- In the event of a conflict between the terms of the Order Form, and the terms of these Terms of Service, the terms of the Order Form control.
1. Registration Process, Free Trial and Paying Plans
If You decide to register for the Service, You must provide certain limited information about Yourself to InstaCheckin and create an account. You agree to be responsible for Your account password as well as the acts and/or omissions of any third party using the Service through Your account. You must notify InstaCheckin immediately of any unauthorized use of Your account or loss of account information. You agree to keep all account information complete, accurate and up to date (including without limitation any payment and contact information). We reserve the right to refuse the Service to any user and terminate Your account for any reason within InstaCheckin’s sole discretion. Don’t worry – You can opt-out of any marketing emails from Us through Your account settings or through a link in the e-mail that We send. By registering for the Service, InstaCheckin may provide You with limited access to the Service on a trial basis at no charge for 14 days from the date of Your registration, or such other time period as We may establish in our sole discretion (collectively Your “Free Trial”).
We reserve the right to modify, cancel and/or limit the Free Trial without notice at any time.
After the Free Trial, if you do not cancel your account, we will automatically upgrade you to an auto-renewing, paid subscription (a “Paid Plan”) or you must enter into a separate written agreement with Us for a “Business” plan.
Please note that upon the end of Your Free Trial, if You do not purchase a Paid Plan, You may lose access to all data stored on the Service, and any interfaces to third party services that We provide.
By upgrading to (or separately purchasing) a Paid Plan, You are agreeing to pay in advance the amount due for each subscription period based on Your usage. Subscription periods are monthly unless otherwise agreed in writing by InstaCheckin. Each plan includes a specified number of user seats, data sources and data warehouses, as well as a number of unique users whose interactions You track in each month (e.g. the number of tracked visitor id’s, collectively referred to as “Events”).
Our current pricing and available subscription period(s) are available on our pricing page.
Under each Plan, You are responsible for all fees due for the entire subscription period – even if You cancel Your subscription.
You authorize us (or a billing agent acting on Our behalf) to charge You the applicable fees using Your selected payment method. We’ll automatically bill You in advance from the date You convert to a Paid Plan based on Your usage, and on each subscription renewal, until cancellation.
The fees set forth in this Agreement are the net amount that We must receive exclusive of any taxes and, in addition to such fees, You shall be responsible for promptly paying (to us or the appropriate taxing authority) any and all taxes, duties and tariffs, including, without limitation, sales, excise, value added, use, withholding, import/export and similar charges related to this Agreement.
ONCE YOU HAVE PURCHASED A PAID PLAN, WE WILL AUTOMATICALLY CHARGE AT THE END OF EACH SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD FOR THE NEXT SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD, UNLESS YOU NOTIFY US IN WRITING THAT YOU WANT TO TERMINATE YOUR SUBSCRIPTION AND CEASE USING THE SERVICE AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 9 (Termination).
Overages. We reserve the right to charge any applicable overage fees if You exceed the maximum Events allowed by Your Plan in any given month. For the next month, You may be automatically charged for such higher usage, or we may require that you upgrade to a new plan (which may require you to enter into a signed agreement with InstaCheckin). If You are on a monthly billing cycle, You will be charged for Your increased usage starting with the next month. If You are not billed monthly, upon the next applicable month after the upgrade, You will be charged for the increased price of the usage.
Upgrades. If You upgrade Your Paid Plan, You will immediately be charged the then-current rate for the new Paid Plan (and any auto-renewals thereof), as provided on Our Site.
We may revise Service rates at any time, or impose additional fees or charges. If You are on a Paid Plan, We will do this by providing You with at least 30 days’ notice prior to the next charge (as such notice is set forth in Section 10 “Modifications to the Agreement”). Provided that if You upgrade Your plan (or an upgrade occurs automatically as set forth in this section), You will be charged at the then-current rate. Unless otherwise expressly stated in writing, any discounts applied to a previous subscription period do not apply to a renewed subscription period, including to any automatic renewals.
Your Paid Plan will remain in effect until it’s cancelled or terminated under these Terms and Conditions. If You don’t pay for Your Paid Plan on time, We reserve the right to suspend or terminate Your account. Unpaid fees are subject to a finance charge of 1.5% per month on any outstanding balance, or the maximum permitted by law, whichever is lower, plus all expenses of collection. Unless otherwise stated, all fees are stated in, and shall be paid in, US dollars.
Downgrades. If You desire to downgrade Your Plan level, You must provide InstaCheckin with written notice at least 30 days prior to the end of Your current subscription period (please provide written notice to support@instacheckin.io). The Plan downgrade will take effect the first billing cycle of Your next subscription period. Please note that You will not receive any refunds for payments made on Your current billing cycle (or for your current subscription period). Downgrading Your Plan may cause the loss of account content, features, or capacity. InstaCheckin disclaims liability for any such loss.
Additional Fees. We may revise Service rates at any time, or impose additional fees or charges. If You are on a Paid Plan, We will do this by providing You with at least 30 days’ notice prior to the next charge (as such notice is set forth in Section 10 “Modifications to the Agreement”). Provided that if You upgrade or downgrade Your plan (or an upgrade occurs automatically as set forth in this section), You will be charged at the then-current rate. Unless otherwise expressly stated in writing, any discounts applied to a previous subscription period do not apply to a renewed subscription period, including to any automatic renewals.
Your Paid Plan will remain in effect until it’s cancelled or terminated under these Terms and Conditions. If You don’t pay for Your Paid Plan on time, We reserve the right to suspend or terminate Your account. Unpaid fees are subject to a finance charge of 1.5% per month on any outstanding balance, or the maximum permitted by law, whichever is lower, plus all expenses of collection. Unless otherwise stated, all fees are stated in, and shall be paid in, US dollars.
Right to limit usage. We reserve the right to limit or “throttle” your usage of the Service at any time if we deem that it is excessive, abusive, designed to circumvent Service limitations, or otherwise to prevent harm to InstaCheckin or others. This could include, without limitation, limiting the number of API calls that you are permitted to make or data syncs that you may perform.
