The basic service is offered for free until such time as we deem appropriate. Premium subscription plans are offered with a free trial for 30 days. If you need more than 30 days, you will only be able to continue using the Service by paying in advance for additional usage. If you fail to pay for additional usage, your account will be suspened and made inaccessible until proper payment is made.

Any upgrade or downgrade of the subscription plan will result in the new rate being charged at the next billing cycle. There will be no prorating for downgrades in between billing cycles.

Downgrading your subscription plan may cause the loss of features, capacity or content in your account. The Company does not accept any liability for such loss.

Prices of all Services are subject to change upon 30 days notice. Such notice may be provided at any time by posting the changes to HappyStack website or the Service itself.

We shall not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, price change, suspension or discontinuance of the Service.

Taxes Not Included

Your fees under these Terms exclude any taxes or duties payable in respect of the Service in the jurisdiction where the payment is either made or received. You shall be responsible for payment of all such taxes, levies, or duties. Where required, we will collect those taxes on behalf of taxing authority and remit those taxes to taxing authorities.

Refunds

We do not offer any refunds. Should you choose to discontinue the use of our service, you will be able to do so by downgrading subscription to the free version or terminating the account all together. Upon termination of your account your data will be deleted permantetly 90 days after account termination.

Changes to these Terms. We are constantly updating our Services, and that means sometimes we have to change the legal terms under which our Services are offered. If we make changes that are material, we will let you know, for example by posting on one of our blogs, or by sending you an email or other communication before the changes take effect. The notice will designate a reasonable period of time after which the new Terms will take effect. If you disagree with our changes, then you should stop using HappyStack within the designated notice period. Your continued use of HappyStack will be subject to the new Terms. However, any dispute that arose before the changes shall be governed by the Terms (including the binding individual arbitration clause) that were in place when the dispute arose.
