If you elect to use the Services for a free trial period, and do not purchase a subscription before the end of such period, this Agreement will expire at the end of the free trial period. A purchased subscription begins with the date displayed upon payment (in case of credit card payment) or with the date displayed on the invoice sent to you (offline billing) and lasts for the period selected by you upon signup (“Initial Term”). Subscriptions automatically renew thereafter (“Auto Renewal”). You have the right to cancel your subscription at any time, however, NO refund will be made for payments already collected. You are solely responsible for the proper cancellation of Your subscription by sending an email with your termination intention to: hello@palmhr.net. PalmHR reserves the right to terminate this Agreement at any time in the event that You materially breach this Agreement and do not cure such breach within 30 days of PalmHR providing you with email notice. However, in the case of your nonpayment (including in the event when your credit card cannot be charged), PalmHR may suspend your access to the Services upon any such nonpayment and may terminate this Agreement, if such breach is not remedied within 30 days of notice by PalmHR to You. PalmHR may also downgrade, suspend or terminate your access to the Services without liability, after providing you with 30 days’ advance notice, if (a) you fail to affirmatively agree to material modifications of this Agreement, or (b) you do not log in to or otherwise use the Service for a period of 180 days or more if you have a paid account and for a period of 15 days or more if you have a Demo account.

You shall settle the due amounts no later than 15 business days after submission in full to the bank details provided in the respective invoice. In case you signed up for a service tier where the use of services is limited to a certain amount of Active Users, PalmHR will evaluate excess usage upon Renewal Date and will, at its sole discretion, automatically upgrade your service tier and include prorated fees for excess usage already incurred. PalmHR may at any time, upon notice of at least 90 days, or a longer period if required by Applicable Law, change the price of Your subscription or any part thereof, or institute new charges or fees. Price changes and institution of new charges implemented during your annual subscription period will come into effect for any subsequent annual subscription periods and to all new subscribers after the effective date of the change. If You do not agree to any such price changes, then you must cancel your subscription and stop using the Services prior to the commencement of the renewal subscription period for which the price change applies.
