These terms constitute your rights and obligations as a user or subscriber of designstripe. 🤓
designstripe is intended for professional use. It is not intended for domestic or consumer use, nor for any high-risk activities. If authorized to do so, you can agree to these terms on behalf of an employer or business. You represent and warrant that you are over the age of 14.
These Terms of Services (the “Terms”) apply to your use of the Services and constitute a legal agreement between you, the individual or entity identified in an Order Form (the "Subscriber", "you") and DesignStripe Software Inc. ("designstripe"; "us", "we"). Please read these Terms carefully as they contain your rights and obligations when you use the Services.
These Terms are effective upon your acceptance and remain in full force for as long as you are using the Services. For clarity, the Terms end at the termination of the Subscription Plan, or at the time at which you delete your account, whichever comes later.
You agree and understand that the Services are intended for use by professionals or as part of your trade and are not intended for use for domestic or consumer purposes. You agree and understand that these Terms are applicable, and that consumer protection law is not applicable to them. If you are a consumer, you agree either not to use these Services, or to use them at your own risk.
If you are entering into these Terms on behalf of an entity, such as your employer or your own business, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to do so.
You also represent and warrant that you are over the age of 14. Our Services are not designed for those under this age, and we reserve the right to delete any accounts and data relating to such individuals upon being notified of such accounts and data, in accordance with any applicable laws.
The Services are not intended for any high-risk activities, such as activities which can lead to risk of death, personal injury or environmental damages. We do not allow any such use of our Services.
To understand these Terms, it is important that you refer to the definitions below. If a term is not defined herein, it is defined elsewhere in the Terms.
Some features may stay be in beta (and we'll keep adding new ones!) 🖥️
Beta features may be buggy, or be changed or removed without notice.
As a beta user, you may have access to features for free or at a reduced price, which can be upgraded to a full subscription plan once the features are ready to be fully deployed. You waive your rights to any feedback that you may provide as a user or beta user.
Parts or all of the Services may be provided and indicated as Beta Services. This means that we are still working on it. There may be some bugs, and we may also ask for feedback. If you share any feedback with us, as part of the Beta Services or otherwise, you agree that we own all rights, titles and interests in such feedback to the extent that they relate to the Services, you assign to us or waive any moral rights, and where applicable, we accept this assignment.
You agree that the Beta Services are provided "as is" and "as available", which means that we disclaim any and all warranties, and that we do not take responsibility for damages resulting from your use, except if we are required to under the law. The Subscriber agrees and understands that the Beta Services are provided at the Subscriber's own risks.
The Beta Services may be provided without Fee, or for a reduced pricing. If you are accessing the Beta Services, you are accessing it for as long as we decide, regardless of any Subscription Plan, and we may end the Beta Services upon written notice.
Once the Beta Services are completed and the concerned Project Services are ready to be fully deployed, we will provide you with a notice and offer you an upgrade to a Subscription Plan. We may modify the Services at any time as part of the Beta Services to adjust to the feedback that we receive, and this modification shall not be considered a modification of these Terms. Prior to purchasing a Subscription Plan, you will be required to accept the Terms once more. You agree and understand that we may change the Terms in the meantime, and that the Terms applicable at that moment may differ.
With regards to Beta Services, this section shall have precedence over the remaining Terms in case of conflict.
Make sure to keep your payment information up to date 🙈
If you subscribe to a month-to-month Subscription Plan, we will charge the fees on your credit card for each month until you cancel.
If a payment is refused, we'll send you a notice, but your account could be suspended after 15 days and deleted after 60 days, including all your creations.
The Services may be provided under different subscription plans, such as month-to-month or on an annual basis, as set forth on an Order Form (the "Subscription Plans"). The Subscription Plans may be subject to additional terms and conditions, which may include specific payment terms and termination rights (the "Additional Terms"). In case of a conflict between the Additional Terms and these Terms, the Additional Terms will prevail.
If you pay for the Fees with your credit card, you hereby authorize us to debit such amount on your credit card in accordance with these Terms and any Additional Terms. If a payment is refused for any reason, we will provide you with a notice in order to change your financial information. If your financial information has not been changed after 15 days, we may decide to suspend access to your account, and you may not be able to retrieve the Outcomes or the Subscriber Material from your account for as long as it is suspended. If we do not receive the Fees within 60 days, you agree that we may delete your account and any Outputs and Subscriber Materials associated therewith. You agree that if you subscribe to a month-to-month Subscription Plan, we will charge the Fees on your credit card for each month until you cancel.
The Fees are not reimbursable or cancellable, unless we decide otherwise, or if the law requires that we reimburse or cancel any Fees. If the Fees are rightfully disputed, we will send you another invoice with the corrected Fees and provide you with a credit for your subsequent invoices, but we will not provide you with reimbursement of the Fees unless we are required to do so by the law.
And make sure to protect your login and password! 🚨
Please don't share your account or create dummy accounts — these will be terminated without refund.
And if you think you got hacked, please change your password and let us know right away!
You agree to keep your credentials confidential, and not to share your account with anyone, including through the use of time-sharing services, networks or other means of sharing accounts. You understand that generic accounts are not authorized. Each user must register as a Subscriber and accept these Terms. We reserve our rights to suspend your account if you share it, and to terminate your access without reimbursement.
If your account is compromised, please change your credentials as soon as possible and inform us so that we may take any required action. You are solely responsible for any actions performed through your accounts, and we are not responsible for any damages resulting from compromised accounts.

You agree and understand that content contained in Creative Materials may not always be accurate, and that we are not responsible for the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of this content.

Our maximum liability for an IP Infringement Claim will be limited to five thousand Canadian dollars ($5,000), subject to the provisions of these Terms, including the foregoing.
The only constant is change 🌊
Sometimes, we may have to update these terms. If we do, we'll give you a heads-up in writing. If you continue using designstripe, the new changes will apply to you; otherwise, you can terminate your subscription at no additional cost.
In general, we won't change our services in a way that decreases their functionality and performance, but if ever we do, we'll also let you know in writing.
We may modify the Terms to cover new functionalities, new legislative requirements or as required. When we do so, we will provide you with a prior written notice. If you continue to use the Services after this notice, or if you otherwise accept or agree to the latest version of these Terms, the modifications will be applicable to you. If you do not agree with the modifications to the Terms, you may terminate your use of the Services, and we will not charge you for subsequent payments, where applicable. The latest date at which we updated the Terms is set forth above. If you would like a copy of previous versions of the Terms, you may reach out to us at support@designstripe.com.
We may change the Services, including by ending Beta Services. We will not change the Services in a manner that materially and adversely diminishes the functionalities and performance of the Services without notifying you, nor will we alter adversely, in a material respect, the security of our Services (each an "Adverse Material Change"). In case of an Adverse Material Change, we will provide you with a 5-day prior notice, and you may decide to terminate your Subscription Plan with us, in which case, we will not invoice you for any subsequent payments.

The Parties have expressly requested that these Terms and the related documents be drawn up in English and that all modifications thereof can be made in this language. Les parties ont demandé expressément que les Conditions d'utilisation et les documents afférents soient rédigés en anglais et que les modifications à ceux-ci soient également dans cette langue.
The parties are independent contractors and nothing herein contained will be construed as creating any relationship of employer/employee, partnership, agency (except to the extent specifically provided herein), joint venture, or otherwise between the parties hereto, nor will these Project Terms be construed as conferring on any party any express or implied right, power, or authority to enter into any agreement or commitment, express or implied, or to incur any obligation or liability on behalf of any other party.
