1. Introduction

This document (the “Terms”) together with the applicable Privacy Policy (collectively the “Agreement”) sets out the terms and conditions governing visits, access and use of the software FREQUIA by the end user (“you”). The term “you” includes additional registered users whenever permitted under the applicable subscription, visitors, and others who access or use any of the Services.

The “Services” means the software branded ‘FREQUIA’, mobile and device applications and all services provided by Zipper Noise, Zipper Noise's affiliated entities or Zipper Noise's vendors, or other third parties with whom Zipper Noise contracts to provide the Services that are inherently related to the software branded ‘FREQUIA’. These may include, but are not limited to websites and applications for desktops, tablets and mobile handsets, set-top boxes and stereo equipment. The Services are provided by Zipper Noise (“FREQUIA,” “we” “us” and/or “our”). You may contact us at: FREQUIA – support@frequia.io

The current Agreement will appear on our website with the effective date that the Terms and/or Privacy Policy were updated. Zipper Noise may, in its discretion, make changes to the Agreement. When we make material changes to the Agreement, we’ll provide you with prominent notice as appropriate under the circumstances, e.g., by sending you an email. Your continued use of the Services after the changes have been made will constitute your acceptance of the changes. Please therefore make sure you read any such notice carefully. If you do not wish to continue using the Services under the new version of the Agreement, you may terminate the Agreement by contacting us at support@frequia.io

2. Prerequisites for access to the service

You need access to the internet in order to download the Services, and any cost for accessing the internet shall be your responsibility. This also applies when using the Service via mobile phone, tablet, or other personal device capable of internet connection. If you use the Services via mobile telephone you should familiarize yourself with applicable data transfer costs for your mobile carrier plan. Zipper Noise does not have any responsibility or liability for data transfer costs you may incur when using the Services. We cannot guarantee that the Services will work with all devices. Please visit https://frequia.gitbook.io/frequia/system-requirements for more information about our compatibility specifications.

It is your responsibility to ensure that you are able to comply with the relevant system requirements described above. Zipper Noise accepts no responsibility for any lack of functionality that is due to your equipment (including your device, internet connection, operating system or settings and software). You may not use the Services in any way that is fraudulent or illegal or is expressly prohibited by these Terms. By using the Services, you confirm to us that you accept these Terms and that: (a) you are 18 years of age or over; or (b) you are between the age of 13 and 17, and have express permission from your parent or guardian to use the Services.

If you are under age 13, you are not permitted to use the Services or to submit any personally identifiable information to Zipper Noise. If you reside in a country where the minimum age to use the Services or to submit any personally identifiable information to Zipper Noise is greater than 13, such age limitation shall apply and you are not authorized to engage in the foregoing unless you meet such age limitation in accordance with your country’s own laws. If Zipper Noise reasonably believes that you have not told us your true age, we may suspend your use of the Services until you have provided us with acceptable proof of age. If you are a parent or guardian and believe Zipper Noise may have inadvertently collected personal information from your child, please notify Zipper Noise immediately by sending an email to FREQUIA – Customer Support at support@frequia.io detailing the basis of your belief and your request.

Zipper Noise reserves the right to suspend or remove your account or prohibit your use of the Services, without responsibility or liability to you, if we reasonably believe there may have been a breach of security on your account or if activities occur on your account that we reasonably believe seriously breach the Agreement.

3. Purchase, price information, payment terms, right of cancellation and refund policy

In order to make any purchase in connection with the Services, you must (a) have reached the age of 18 years or (b) be between the age of 13 and 17, and have express permission from your parent or guardian to use the Services.

You are responsible for reviewing any additional terms governing your use of such special promotions or trials before accessing any special promotions or trials. You are entitled to only one free trial per lifetime. Any attempt to utilize more than one free trial is an unauthorized use of the Services and/or Service Content and amounts to a breach of the Agreement. If Zipper Noise determines, in its absolute discretion, that you have utilized more than one free trial, Zipper Noise reserves the right to terminate your access to the Services, Service Content, and/or the Agreement.

(b) Shopping in the store.

Upon completion of the Store purchase, you will be provided with a link to download the software. Upon emailing your unique Request Code to support@frequia.io, you will be send an Activation Code. All shopping in the store is final.

You are solely responsible for reviewing the terms of use, Privacy Policy or any other terms governing your use of the services provided by your financial services provider and/or mobile carrier. By providing a Payment Method in connection with any purchase, you hereby authorize Zipper Noise to debit the total cost of said purchase and agree to be responsible for any foreign transaction charges associated with your purchase. Should charges for which you are responsible fail at the time payment is required, you may be responsible for costs associated with Zipper Noise's efforts to collect amounts due in accordance with applicable laws. You confirm and promise to us that all information you provide in connection with the purchase of a Subscription is true, accurate and complete.

(e) Charge Backs.

If you dispute purchases charges with your credit card company or financial institution, and Zipper Noise's investigation determines the charges were valid, we may, on reasonable written notice to you, charge to your FREQUIA account the reasonable required cost of responding to your charge back request. Zipper Noise's Privacy Policy details what information Zipper Noise may share with your financial institution as part of the investigation into disputed Subscription charges.

(f) Statutory Right to Cancel.

If you are a consumer resident in the European Union, then you may also have the right to cancel your purchase without giving any reason, and ask for a refund within 14 (fourteen) days of purchase. However, as explained below, this right is lost as soon as you download or access or the Services.

To cancel your purchase in accordance with this section, you must inform us of your decision to cancel. You can contact us by sending an e-mail to support@frequia.io. Please make sure that you include the details of your purchase so that we can identify it.

We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of the reimbursement.

If you purchase a License, you expressly accept that we start providing you the Services within your 14-day withdrawal period.
