Your initial Subscription to the Services is provided as a free trial Subscription that will last for a period of fourteen (14) days (the “Trial Period”).

You may cancel your Subscription at any time during the Trial Period by emailing us at [email protected] and the cancellation will take effect within twenty-four (24) hours.

Appranking reserves the right to terminate free trial period, reduce/change their scope, the usage thereof, or discontinue the offering of Free Trial entirely, at the sole discretion of Appranking at any time. Appranking assumes no liability for said termination, reduction/change or discontinuance towards You or third parties. Appranking may terminate, reduce, suspend, change the scope/content of, or discontinue Free Trial period.

Automatic Renewals

A valid credit card is required for paying accounts and a credit card validation is required for free trial accounts, but will not be charged until immediately after the expiration of the trial period.

You agree to pay any applicable Subscription fees made known to you during registration. All fees paid to Appranking are nonrefundable. We may use a third party service provider (“Third Party Service Provider”) to process payment of such fees. You warrant and represent to such Third Party Service Provider that you are the valid owner or an authorized user, of the credit card you provide to process your payment, and that all information is accurate. We reserve the right to change any of the fees that we charge, or to institute new or additional fees, at any time upon notice to you.

All fees are in USD, exclusive of all taxes, levies, or duties imposed by taxing authorities, and you shall be responsible for payment of all such taxes, levies, or duties, excluding only VAT when a valid number is provided.

Tax

Fees are exclusive of taxes, duties, levies, tariffs, and other governmental charges (including, without limitation, VAT if applicable) (collectively, “Taxes”). You shall be responsible for payment of all Taxes and any related interest and/or penalties resulting from any payments made hereunder, other than any taxes based on Appranking’s net income.

Invoice

Appranking will invoice You based on actual delivery during the applicable invoice period, with payment due net fifteen (15) days from the invoice date. Late payments shall bear interest at the rate of one percent (1%) per month or the highest rate permitted by law, whichever is less. Non-late payments shall not bear interest.

In the event that You fail to make timely payment or otherwise breach these Terms of Service or any warranties set forth herein, You will be responsible for all expenses (including attorneys’ fees and costs) incurred by Appranking in collecting such amounts.

Pay-per-Use: If billing is carried out on a pay-per-use basis (e.g. billing on App and/or Key-Word and/or Ad Spend basis), the amount due will be calculated for each month according to the agreed pricing scheme. The amount due will be calculated on the basis of that the day of said month, which your Usage of Services was the maximum total.

Late payment: If you default on a due payment Appranking can, without affecting its other rights, postpone the fulfillment of its own obligation until completion of this payment and claim an appropriate extension to the performance deadline.

It is important to note that when you sign up to use the Services, your Subscription will automatically renew until you cancel it. You may cancel at any time by notifying us in writing no later than fifteen (15) before the next upcoming renewal, and the cancellation will take effect the following month subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Section titled “Effect of Termination”.
