  2. PURCHASE TERMS OF THE SERVICES

    Certain Services, as indicated at all times on the Website or the Application, may be subject to remuneration by the User and must be purchased by the User (hereinafter, the “Services for Purchase”).

    Services for Purchase are offered, as applicable, on the Website or in the Application, where information regarding such Services is included.

    From time to time, UPTODOWN may alter the offer of Services for Purchase, either by proposing new Services for Purchase or by ceasing to provide any of the Services for Purchase available up to that time.

    If the User wishes to acquire Services for Purchase, the User shall simply follow the indications that appear, as appropriate, on the Website or in the Application. Any condition or term shown during the process of contracting the specific Service for Purchase shall be applicable.

    1. Registration

      To make an order for a Service for Purchase, the User shall access the Services through an Account. If the User does not have an Account, the User shall first register following section 1.3 of these Terms. During the purchasing process, the User shall provide the additional information requested, such as delivery/invoicing address and tax identification number, as per the instructions that will be provided on the Website or in the Application.

    2. Prices and Invoicing

      Prices for the Services for Purchase are displayed, as applicable, on the Website or in the Application, in the relevant currency to the transaction and include, when required, the Value Added Tax applicable to the transaction depending on the place of delivery and residence of the User.

      UPTODOWN reserves the right to modify the prices of the Services for Purchase at any time, but will apply the price in force at the time the order is placed by the User.

      Before confirming the order and finalizing the purchasing process and making the payment, the User will be informed of the full final price, including the applicable fees.

      UPTODOWN will confirm by sending an email to the address associated with the User’s Account, the contracting of the Services for Purchase performed.

      The Terms, as well as any particular conditions applicable to the Services for Purchase may be printed by the User during the contracting process. Likewise, a proof of payment in digital format will be generated and the User may consult the payments at any time in the Account through the Website.

    3. Payment

      The User may pay for the Services for Purchase with the means of payment accepted from time to time as established in the purchase process. To make the payment, the User must follow the instructions that appear on the Platforms.

      If the User pays by credit card, the User must provide the card details. Payment by credit card is made through a security system that encrypts your bank details when they are transmitted over the Internet. The Services for Purchase will not be activated until payment has been received or authorized by the relevant financial institution. The management of payment information will be carried out directly between the third-party platforms; no intervention or access to the users' bank data by UPTODOWN will take place.

    4. Right of Withdrawal

      The User has the right to withdraw from the contract for the Services for Purchase for fourteen (14) calendar days from the date of contracting (in case of a free period, the withdrawal period shall also start at the contracting of the Service for Purchase, even if the payment obligation is not applicable yet). In case of withdrawal, the User will be refunded for the full payment made.

      In order to exercise the right of withdrawal, the User must notify the decision to withdraw from the Services for Purchase through an unambiguous statement (for example, a letter sent by post, fax or e-mail). You can use the withdrawal form included at the end of these Terms, although its use is not mandatory.

      Notwithstanding the foregoing, the User will only be entitled to a refund when required by law. That is, the refund as a result of canceling the Services for Purchase within fourteen (14) calendar days from the contracting will only apply to those Users who live in the European Union, the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and in those countries whose regulations require it.

      In addition, the right of withdrawal will not be applicable, and this is expressly accepted by the User, in case the Service for Purchase has been fully provided or where the Service for Purchase implies the supply of digital content in non-material support and the User has consented such supply of the digital content. In case the Service for Purchase has been partially provided, the User shall bear the part of the Service for Purchase already provided until the right is exercised.

    5. Special terms applicable to Subscriptions

      This section 2.5 governs and applies to the purchase of any Service for Purchase consisting of a premium subscription (hereinafter, the “Subscription”) through the Website or the Application, in addition to the other terms in this Section 2. Through the Subscription, the User can access extra functionalities that are not available in the free version of the Services.

      From time to time, the Subscription may include a free trial period that allows the User to access and use the extra functionalities free of charge. At the end of the trial period, effective from the following day, the Subscription will automatically come into effect at the applicable rate, and the corresponding amount will be charged unless the Subscription is canceled by the User.

      By ordering the Subscription, the User authorizes UPTODOWN to charge the corresponding price through the chosen payment method. Except for free trial periods, the Subscription will not be active until the payment has been received or authorized by the relevant financial institution. From that moment, the Subscription will remain in force for the period contracted by the User.

      The Subscriptions will be renewed automatically, at the applicable price, successively upon expiration of their term, until the Subscription is canceled by the User.

      UPTODOWN may change the price of the Subscription applicable to the renewal or modify the terms for the Subscription (including its cancellation), provided that it notifies the User at least one month prior to the date of application.

However, Users may report presumed abuses or inappropriate uses of the site through https://support.uptodown.com/hc/en-us/requests/new to allow UPTODOWN to review the corresponding content.

    In relation to the Applications and User Content, UPTODOWN acts exclusively as a provider of the service consisting of enabling the Platforms and the Services so that developers, licensors, and Users can store and publish the Applications or User Content for the Users. In this regard, UPTODOWN limits itself to offering an intermediary service by hosting and providing the content, while not assuming liability for said content beyond the cases expressly provided for in the aforementioned law; that is, UPTODOWN shall only accept liability when it (i) has actual knowledge that the activity or information being reported or referred to is illegal, and (ii) has not acted with diligence to remove or disable the corresponding content.

    The previous paragraph also applies to links to third-party sites that may be available on the Platforms or the Services.

  6. APPLICABLE LAW AND JURISDICTION
