FREE TRIAL AND SUBSCRIPTIONS

You may enjoy our Silvae Technologies Service in the following ways:

Free Trial. When you first set up your Product, you will be automatically enrolled in a free thirty (30) day trial of the Silvae Technologies Lock system. If you do not enter into a paid subscription for a Silvae Technologies Lock System before the end of your trial period, your Silvae Technologies account will be deleted.

Paid Subscriptions. When you first set up your Product through the Services, or at any time after you begin using your Product, you may enjoy our Silvae Technologies Lock System by enrolling in our monthly or annual subscription plan, which will continue until you cancel your subscription. These subscription plans entitle you to access our Silvae Technologies Lock System for each payment period until such subscription is cancelled. Your paid subscription will automatically commence on the first day following the end of your trial period, on a monthly or annual basis depending on your election when you first set up your Product. By submitting your payment details in conjunction with the trial, you agree to this charge. To avoid this charge, you must cancel your Silvae Technologies Lock System by either contacting us before the end of your trial period or discontinuing the Silvae Technologies Lock System via the Silvae Technologies website.

Subscription fees are billed or charged on the first day of the applicable subscription period. If any payment is returned unpaid or if any credit card or similar transaction is rejected or denied, Silvae Technologies reserves the right to cancel your Silvae Technologies Lock System subscription and to collect any rejection or insufficient funds fee and to process any such payment by the payment method you have submitted to us.

Auto-Renewal for Paid Subscriptions. Unless you opt out of auto-renewal, which can be done through your account settings by removing your payment information or by contacting us, any paid Services (for example, your Silvae Technologies Lock System) you have signed up for will be automatically extended for successive renewal periods of the same duration as the subscription term originally selected, at the then-current non-promotional rate. To change or discontinue your paid Services at any time, go to account settings or contact us. If you terminate a paid Service, you may use your subscription until the end of your then-current term and your subscription will not be renewed after your then-current term expires. However, you won't be eligible for a prorated refund of any portion of the subscription fee paid for the then-current subscription period, except as set forth in the Refund Policy below. Your non-termination or continued use of a paid Service reaffirms that we are authorized to charge your payment method for that paid Service. We may submit those charges for payment and you will be responsible for such charges. This does not waive our right to seek payment directly from you. Your charges may be payable in advance, in arrears, or as otherwise described when you initially selected to use the paid Service.

CANCELLATIONS, REFUNDS, AND PAYMENTS

Cancellation of Subscription Services

You may cancel your Silvae Technologies Lock System by contacting us or through your Silvae Technologies account, at any time, with or without cause.

After such subscription period ends, your Silvae Technologies account will no longer be accessible to you.

Refund Policy
