3. LICENSE TO USE THE PLATFORM

Germie grants you a personal, worldwide, royalty-free, non-assignable and non-exclusive license to use the platform provided to you by Germie as part of the services. This license is for the sole purpose of allowing you to use and enjoy the services provided by Germie, in the manner permitted by these terms and conditions.

You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell or rent any part of our services, nor may you reverse engineer or attempt to extract the source code from the website, unless such restrictions are prohibited by law or you have our written permission. You agree not to use the website and services in a negligent, fraudulent or unlawful manner. The user also undertakes not to engage in any conduct or action that may damage the image, interests or rights of Germie or any third party. Germie reserves the right to terminate the user's access immediately, with or without notice, and without liability to the user, if Germie considers that the user has breached any of these conditions or has interfered with the use of the website or services.

4. SUBSCRIPTIONS

Germie offers subscriptions with access to special content and functionalities within the website. When a user places an order for a subscription, the user agrees and declares to purchase the subscription for the price advertised on the website. Please check the price and features of each subscription before placing an order.

When a user places an order, Germie will send a confirmation email. This confirmation email will occur automatically so that the user has confirmation of the payment and the start of the subscription. If the user does not receive the email, it may have been sent to their spam folder.

Germie may cancel any sale and not provide subscriptions and may change or discontinue the availability of subscriptions at any time at its sole discretion. If a purchase is cancelled, any payment made for the subscription will be refunded in full. This does not affect your statutory rights.

Subscriptions may include automatic recurring payments. You authorize Germie to renew your subscription and to charge you on a periodic and progressive basis. The subscription billing date is the date you make your first payment. The subscription billing date will be automatically debited from your account with all applicable fees for the next subscription period. The subscription will continue until you cancel it or we terminate it. You must cancel your subscription before it renews to avoid the next billing period. We will bill the recurring subscription fee to the form of payment you provide during registration.

Subscriptions will automatically renew for an additional period unless cancelled prior to the next payment. If the user wishes to reactivate the subscription, a new subscription must be purchased.

5. PAYMENTS

Subscriptions will be paid through the payment methods available on Germie. Subscriptions will be activated upon completion of the payment process. Your credit/debit card will be charged immediately after placing the order for the subscription you have purchased. Once the transaction is processed, we will send you an electronic receipt of the transaction to the email address you provide.

If you find any inconsistency in your billing, please contact us through our contact information or you can make the claim through the customer service of the corresponding payment platform.

If your card is declined, you will receive an error message. No payment will be charged to your card and no order will be processed. There may be a pending transaction on your account until your card issuing bank withdraws the authorization. This usually takes 2 to 5 business days. Your card may be declined for various reasons such as insufficient funds, AVS (Address Verification System) mismatch or you have entered an incorrect security code.

If your payment is declined, you must provide an alternative payment method or provide another card where payment can be charged and processed.

Your payment information will be treated and safeguarded securely and for the sole purpose of processing the purchase of the subscriptions and services. Germie reserves the right to contract any payment platform available on the market, which treats your data for the sole purpose of processing the purchase of the subscriptions and services.
