6. Payment and Renewal

6.1 You can purchase a monthly (specific plans) or annual plan and your credit card on file will be charged on a recurring basis.

We have three paid plans available (E-Sign, Professional, and Enterprise). All fees, expenses and taxes due hereunder will be paid in U.S. dollars or in local currency with local applicable taxes if that currency are provided in the service. All fees due and payable by you to GetAccept under the Terms must be paid in full without any deduction, set-off, counterclaim or withholding of any kind unless required by law. All fees due and payable under the Terms are exclusive of taxes, which will be added at the prevailing rate from time to time. When you sign up for a paid plan, you are agreeing to pay and take responsibility for all charges made in accordance with the chosen plan, and your subscription will automatically renew at the end of the subscription term unless you cancel as further set forth herein.

The original contract terms will be applied for any additional user licenses or other add-ons which are added during the contract term. Additional user licenses and/or other add-ons carry over upon renewal.

6.2. Cancellation policy.

Once a customer (admin user) submits a request for cancellation, no additional charges will be made as long as the contract length and billing terms match (eg if a 2 year contract is cancelled before the end of the first year the second year will still be invoiced). However, no refunds (prorated or otherwise) are provided upon cancellation. In the interest of fairness to all of our clients, no exceptions will be made. All plans with contract length longer than 1 month have 60 days cancellation policy (eg a cancellation need to be sent to GetAccept latest 60 days before the contract renews). Cancellations should done in writing to finance@getaccept.com.

6.3. Monthly plan billing.

GetAccept’s monthly plans provide month-to-month access, with monthly charges being made each renewal day (the same day of the month that you originally signed up for the plan). Monthly plans automatically renew every month. If you cancel before an upcoming renewal day, you will have access to your Account through the end of the then-current month.

6.4. Annual and multi year plans.

GetAccept’s annual plans provide year-to-year access and a substantial savings over the month-to-month plan. Annual charges will be made each renewal date (the same date of the year that you originally signed up for the plan). Annual plans automatically renew every year thereafter. If you cancel before an upcoming renewal date, you will have access to your Account through the end of the then-current year. Annual plans have 60 days cancellation policy, before automatically renewing another term.

GetAccept’s multi year plans will be billed annually on the same date the contract started (the same date of the year that you originally signed up for the plan). Multi year plans automatically renew for the same contract length at contract renewal. If you cancel before an upcoming renewal date, you will have access to your Account through the end of the contract term. Multi year plans have 60 days cancellation policy, before automatically renewing another term.

6.5. Failed charges; Suspension.

If your credit card on file is closed or the Account information is changed, or if, for any reason, a charge is rejected, you shall immediately update your Account or supply a new payment account, as appropriate. If you are unable to update your credit card account with appropriate information, then GetAccept will send an invoice to you detailing the amount due. You must pay the amount due in full within seven (7) days after the date of the invoice. You agree to notify GetAccept in writing of any changes to your Account information or termination of any authorization at least thirty (30) days prior to the immediately subsequent billing date. In the event payment dates fall on a weekend or holiday, you understand that the payments may be executed on the next business day. GetAccept may, without liability to you, disable the password, Account and access to all or part of the Services if any fees are not paid within forty-five (45) days after such fees first becoming due and payable under the Terms. In the event of the foregoing, GetAccept shall not be obligated to provide any and/or all of the Services until such fees are paid in full. Accounts that have been terminated may be reactivated if valid payment information is entered and the card can be successfully processed for all charges accrued on the Account since the failed credit card charge.

6.6 Due to added costs and general solution improvements, GetAccept may increase pricing to existing customers yearly with up to five (5) percent without prior written notification. If price increase is higher then five percent, then notice will be given at least 90 days before the next renewal date of current licensing.

6.7 Additional local charges apply for the use of sms (per sms sent), eID (per signing) (BankID, NemID etc) and our API.

See https://www.getaccept.com/pricing/sms for the current price list. Charges for these services will be debited monthly or quarterly and no refund will be available to be received after using these services. Sms invoicing is depending on the number of characters added to a sending. One SMS is defined by max 160 characters under the GSM-7 Charset or max 70 character under the UniCode Charset. The charset used is defined by what character types are added to the sms. 

6.8 If a valid company VAT number (for the purchasing organization) is not added in the purchasing process GetAccept reserves the right to add 25% Swedish VAT to the invoiced amount.

18. Data Processing Agreement (GDPR compliant)

18.1 If you are processing data concerning European individuals, you acknowledge that you are the data controller for any personal data processed by GetAccept on behalf of you in relation to the Service and that GetAccept is your data processor.

The Parties have therefore agreed to enter into the DPA (Data Processing Agreement) found here https://www.getaccept.com/dpa which shall remain effective independently of the Agreement otherwise for as long as GetAccept processes personal data on behalf of you.

19. Miscellaneous

19.1. Entire Agreement; Conflict.

Unless otherwise agreed to by GetAccept and you in writing, the Terms (including without limitation the terms and conditions set forth herein and GetAccept’s operating rules, policies and/or procedures as described above) constitutes the entire agreement between GetAccept and you concerning the subject matter hereof.

19.2. Governing Law.

Except to the extent applicable law, if any, provides otherwise, this Agreement and any access to or use of the Services will be governed by the laws of the State of California, U.S.A., excluding its conflict of law provisions.

19.3. Arbitration.

Except for claims for injunctive or equitable relief or claims regarding intellectual property rights (which may be brought in any competent court without the posting of a bond), any dispute arising under the Terms shall be finally settled in accordance with the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules (“Rules”) of the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Service, Inc. (“JAMS”) by three arbitrators appointed in accordance with such Rules. The arbitration shall take place in San Francisco, California, in the English language and the arbitral decision may be enforced in any court. The prevailing party in any action or proceeding to enforce the Terms shall be entitled to costs and attorneys’ fees. You can opt-out and decline this agreement to arbitrate by contacting GetAccept within thirty (30) days from the date that you first became subject to this arbitration provision (i.e.: the date you initially accepted the Terms).

(a) Waiver of Jury Trial. THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY, instead electing that all claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration. Arbitration procedures are typically more limited, more efficient and less costly than rules applicable in court and are subject to very limited review by a court. In the event any litigation should arise between you and GetAccept in any state or federal court in a suit to vacate or enforce an arbitration award or otherwise, YOU AND GETACCEPT WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL, instead electing that the dispute be resolved by a judge.

(b) Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions. ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS SECTION 19.3 MUST BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. In the event that this Section is deemed invalid or unenforceable neither you nor we are entitled to arbitration and instead claims and disputes shall be resolved in a court located in San Francisco, California.

19.4. You agree that we may reference you as our customer, and that we may reasonably use, on a royalty-free basis, your trademark and/or logo for such purpose.

19.5. Severability.

If any part of the Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, that part will be construed to reflect the parties’ original intent, and the remaining portions will remain in full force and effect. A waiver by either party of any term or condition of the Terms and/or any breach thereof, in any one instance, will not waive such term and/or condition or any subsequent breach thereof.

19.6. Assignment.

You may not assign your rights under the Terms to any other party without GetAccept’s express prior written consent; GetAccept may assign its rights under the Terms without condition. The Terms will be binding upon and will inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors and permitted assigns.

19.7. Force Majeure.

Except for payment obligations, neither GetAccept nor Customer will be liable by reason of any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations on account of events beyond the reasonable control of a party, which may include denial-of-service attacks, a failure by a third party hosting provider or utility provider, shortages, riots, fires, acts of God, war, strikes, terrorism, and governmental action.

19.8. Survival.

All provisions of the Terms which by their nature should survive termination shall survive termination, including, without limitation, licenses of User Content, ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, indemnity provisions and limitations of liability.

19.9. No Waiver.

No waiver by either you and/or GetAccept of any breach and/or default and/or failure to exercise any right allowed under the Terms is a waiver of any preceding and/or subsequent breach and/or default and/or a waiver and/or forfeiture of any similar and/or future rights under the Terms.
