Subscription, payments, fees and support

You can find an overview of Subscription Plans and their features at: uxtweak.com/pricing. One account may only have one active Subscription Plan. You can change your subscription at any time.

The Starter Subscription Plan is free of charge and not time restricted, yet the options to use the features of the Service are restricted.

Depending on your current Subscription Plan, we reserve the right, at any time, to change the Subscription Plan and/or Subscription Period, or introduce new fees and/or subscription levels. We will provide you with written notification thirty (30) calendar days in advance, during which period you will have the right to unsubscribe or change your current Subscription Plan if you do not agree with the changes in question.

Usage of the service in a paid Plan is paid in advance on a monthly or annual basis (invoicing cycle), depending on the type of subscription which you choose when purchasing the paid Plan. At the end of each invoicing cycle, your subscription will be automatically renewed under the exact same conditions, until you cancel the subscription, or we cancel it. In the settings of your account, you can cancel your subscription to a paid Plan at any time and transfer to the Starter Plan. The date of the beginning of the invoicing cycle is determined by the date when you first began using your Plan, not by the beginning of a calendar month. For example, if you start using the Business Plan on July 5th and you pay for your Plan on a monthly basis, the next invoicing cycle begins on August 5th.

You can cancel your subscription to a paid Plan at any time in the settings of your account. You can continue using all the functionality of the Plan until the end of the pre-paid period (invoicing cycle). After the end of the pre-paid period, the Starter Plan will be activated for you automatically.

If you purchased a paid Plan by accident due to a mistake in any bank transaction, and at the same time you weren’t using the service, if you contact us on our email address UiXntfwoe@aukx_tiwse_agkr.ecaotm within 14 days, we will refund your money. A transactional fee may be subtracted from the returned sum. We don’t provide refunds in other cases. Including: refunds after your failure to terminate your subscription before your paid Plan automatically renewed, refunds for the first billing cycle after you missed the end of your paid Plan’s trial period, or refunds after you selected an incorrect product.

Payments for the Service can be made via wire transfer on request. The payment for the Service as outlined in the issued invoice must be completed within fourteen (14) days from the date of the invoice. If payment is not received by the due date, UXtweak reserves the right to charge a late fee of 0.5% of the invoiced amount for each day of delay. The specifics of this late fee will be outlined in the invoice or communicated to the customer in accordance with our late payment policy. The fee for the Service paid via invoice may be increased by additional processing fees. Access to the Service will be granted only after full payment of the invoice has been received and processed by UXtweak.

We reserve the right to charge you reasonable additional fees for (i) tasks we may perform for you that are outside the normal scope of our Services (e.g., change of account owner, adjustments in running studies) and/or (ii) additional time and/or costs we may incur in providing our Products and Services to you. You will be informed in advance about the additional fees as well as their amount. These additional fees will be billed to the payment method you have on file with us.

We reserve the right to contact you and/or temporarily limit or suspend your access to the Service in case we determine that your usage of the Service exceeds any parameters applicable for the active Subscription Plan, including but not limited to number of responses for a study, number of recorded user sessions, excessive volume of UXtweak Snippet code downloads in cases where the UXtweak Snippet code is installed on the website of the user/customer (Fair Use Policy), usage of the Service by number of users higher than the active Subscription Plan allows and usage of any features not available in the active Subscription Plan.

In accordance with 3.9, for the Business Plan, the volume of UXtweak Snippet code downloads shall not exceed 30,000 per day. For the Plus Plan, the volume of UXtweak Snippet code downloads shall not exceed 6,000 per day. For the Starter Plan, the volume of UXtweak Snippet code downloads shall not exceed 1,000 per day. For any Plan available during a Trial Period, the volume of UXtweak Snippet code downloads shall not exceed 15,000 per day, unless otherwise agreed upon. UXtweak reserves the right to limit delivery of the UXtweak Snippet code to visitors of the user's/customer's website in case of exceeding the maximum volume of UXtweak Snippet code downloads for the active Subscription Plan.

User Panel participant orders are governed by the following terms:

UXtweak customer support operates on business days from 8am to 4pm CET. Support messages received outside of the regular business hours will be addressed once support hours resume.
