We are not responsible for the products and services provided by such third parties.

Trials

From time to time, we or others on our behalf may offer trials of Paid Subscriptions for a specified period without payment or at a reduced rate (a “Trial”). By using a Nikela Service via a Trial, you agree to the Terms herein.

Your use of such Third-Party Applications and Devices may be subject to additional terms, conditions, and policies provided to you by the applicable third party. Nikela does not guarantee that Third-Party Applications and Devices will be compatible with the Nikela Service.

Service limitations and modifications

We use reasonable efforts to keep the Nikela Service operational and to provide you with a personalized experience. However, our service offerings and their availability may change from time to time, without liability to you; for example:

  • The Nikela Services may experience temporary interruptions due to technical difficulties, maintenance or testing, or updates, including those required to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements.
  • We aim to evolve and improve the Nikela Service constantly, and we may modify, suspend, or stop (permanently or temporarily) providing all of part of the Nikela Service (including particular functions, features, subscription plans, and promotional offerings);
  • Nikela has no obligation to provide any specific content through the Nikela Service, and Nikela or the applicable owners may remove particular items, and other Content without notice.

If you have prepaid fees directly to Nikela for a Paid Subscription that Nikela permanently discontinues prior to the end of your Pre-Paid Period (as that term is defined in the Payments and cancellations section below), Nikela will refund you the prepaid fees for the Pre-Paid Period after such discontinuation. Your account and billing information must be up to date in order for us to refund you.

Nikela has no liability to you, nor any obligation to provide a refund to you, in connection with internet or other service outages or failures that are caused by the actions of government authorities, other third parties, or events beyond our control.

4. Payments and Cancellation

Billing

You may purchase a Paid Subscription directly from Nikela or through a third party either by:

  • paying a subscription fee plus applicable taxes in advance on a monthly basis or some other recurring interval disclosed to you prior to your purchase; or
  • pre-payment giving you access to the Nikela Service for a specific time period (“Pre-Paid Period”).

Tax rates are calculated based on the information you provide and the applicable rate at the time of your monthly charge.

Price and tax changes

Nikela may from time to time make changes to Paid Subscriptions, including recurring subscription fees, the Pre-Paid Period (for periods not yet paid), or Codes, and will communicate any price changes to you in advance. Price changes will take effect at the start of the next subscription period following the date of the price change and, by continuing to use the Nikela Service after the price change takes effect, you will have accepted the new price. If you do not agree to a price change, you can reject the change by unsubscribing from the applicable Paid Subscription prior to the price change going into effect.

Renewal and Cancellation

With the exception of Paid Subscriptions for a Pre-Paid Period, your payment to Nikela or the third party through which you purchased the Paid Subscription will automatically renew at the end of the applicable subscription period, unless you cancel your Paid Subscription before the end of the then-current subscription period. Contact our Customer Support team here for instructions on how to cancel. The cancellation will take effect the day after the last day of the current subscription period, and you will be downgraded to the free version of the Nikela Service. We do not provide refunds or credits for any partial subscription periods, except as expressly stated in these Terms.
