Article 5 – Payment for Services (Applies only to Customers on paid subscription plan)

Price

The Supplier reserves the right to determine pricing for the Services. The Supplier will make reasonable efforts to keep pricing information published on the website up to date, available at https://www.digitalsignageos.com/pricing. We encourage you to check our website periodically for current pricing information. The Supplier may change the fees for any feature of the Services, including additional fees or charges, provided the Supplier gives you advance notice of such changes before they apply. The Supplier, at its sole discretion, may offer promotional offers with different features and pricing to any of its customers. Unless extended to you, these promotional offers will not apply to your specific offer or this Agreement.

The Customer shall pay subscription fees to the Supplier for the Registered Players subscriptions and order Services in accordance with this clause and the applicable Order.

The Customer shall pay all undisputed invoices from the Supplier within 30 days of receipt. Payment of amounts due to the Supplier shall be made according to the payment schedule set forth on the applicable Order by wire transfer or other immediately available funds. The Customer must provide valid and complete contact and billing details on the Order. Unless expressly stated otherwise, fees are non-refundable. Any physical goods will be shipped to the Customer upon confirmed receipt of payment.

The fees stated in the applicable Order are exclusive of all federal, state, municipal, or other government excise, sales, use, value-added, or other taxes currently in force or enacted in the future. The Customer shall pay any such tax (excluding taxes on the Supplier’s net income) that the Supplier may be required to collect or pay now or at any time in the future with respect to such fees.

You also authorize the Supplier or a third-party payment processor to charge all sums for the orders you enter into, orders you make, and any level of Services you select as described in this Agreement or published by the Supplier, including all applicable taxes, to the payment method specified in your account. If you pay any fees with a credit card, the Supplier or a third-party payment processor may seek pre-authorization of your credit card account prior to your purchase to verify that the credit card is valid and has the necessary funds or credit available to cover your purchase.

Subscription Services and Recurring Payments

The Services may include automatically recurring payments for periodic charges (“Subscription”). The price and restrictions of any Subscription will be set forth in the applicable Order. If the Customer activates a Subscription, you authorize the Supplier to periodically charge, on an ongoing basis and until cancellation of either the recurring payments or your account, all accrued sums on or before the payment due date for the accrued sums. The “Subscription Billing Date” is the date you purchase your first Subscription. For information on the “Subscription Fee,” please refer to our https://www.digitalsignageos.com/pricing page. Your account will be charged automatically on the Subscription Billing Date for all applicable fees and taxes for the next Subscription period. The Subscription will continue unless and until you cancel your Subscription or we terminate it. You must cancel your Subscription before it renews to avoid billing of the next periodic Subscription Fee to your account. We will bill the periodic Subscription Fee to the payment method you provide during registration (or to a different payment method if you update your payment information). You may cancel the Subscription via your Portal or by contacting us at support@digitalsignageos.com. If you terminate the Subscription for convenience within the first thirty (30) days of an annual Subscription, you will be eligible for a refund of any pre-paid amounts, subject to: (A) You returning all Supplier-supplied Registered Players no later than thirty (30) days following Subscription termination; (B) returned Registered Players being delivered to the Supplier in their original packaging, case, with contents and accessories included, in no tear-and-wear condition; and (C) You bearing any and all associated shipping and delivery costs for the Registered Players’ return. The Supplier will process a refund of any prepaid amounts to the original payment method used for the Subscription within thirty (30) days of the Registered Players’ prompt and duly delivery to the Supplier. Such a refund is not available for any renewal Subscription period. If you choose not to renew a Subscription, your account will be downgraded to the Free Plan of the Services, and you acknowledge and accept that this may result in Customer Content becoming inaccessible or permanently deleted.

 

Article 6 – Ownership of Intellectual Property

The Supplier (including any of its Assignors) retains all Intellectual Property Rights in and to the Software, the Portal, the Services, and their respective components, including the source code, Documentation, appearance, structure, organization, preparatory design material, and all other elements of the Services (“Materials”). All Materials within the Services (including proprietary pre-formatted Layouts and signage templates) are the property of the Supplier or its third-party licensors.
