Service access
1. General
  1. Under the Service we provide you with an access to a web-based platform in SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) model with tools for creating, sharing and anaylsing online surveys.
  2. The detailed scope of Service features available to you under your Subscription Plan is provided in the pricing.
  3. You may use the Service to send email invitations to survey only to those recipients who have given you permission to add them to your mailing list and have not subsequently withdrawn such permission (“Subscribers”).
2. Account
  1. In order to use the Service and manage your surveys you must create an individual account in the Responsly platform (“Account”). The Account may be accessed only with the use of your login credentials. You are responsible for keeping your login credentials confidential. You are also responsible for any use of your Account, especially for any activity of your Account users (“multi-users”). Certain features of the Service enable you to specify the level at which the Service restricts access to the Account. You are solely responsible for applying the appropriate level of access.
3. Free trial
  1. Responsly offers a 7-day free trial version of the Service ("7-Day Free Trial"). Within the 7-Day Free Trial you may access features of a specific account. It may also be limited in other ways. You may create only one Free Trial Account. You may upgrade the 7-Day Free Trial to a paid version at any point. However accounts which have not been upgraded to a paid version within the trial period or within 50 days after the trial period ends, will be permanently disabled.
4. Upgrade
  1. You may upgrade your Subscription Plan or order an add-on at any time. If you purchase an add-on during your subscription period we will align your add-on billing cycle with your Account plan monthly cycle, so that the payment dates of your services subscriptions are in line. The first time payment for the add-on will therefore be calculated in proportion to the number of days left to the end of the monthly cycle in your Account subscription.

1. You are obliged to pay in due time all fees for the use of the Paid Service according to the pricing option you have chosen. We offer monthly, annual subscription. The current pricing offer is available at www.responsly.com. We also provide a free plan with no obligation to pay.
  1. Access to the Paid Service is provided to you after we have received the subscription fee calculated on the basis of the Account plan you have chosen (pre-paid subscription). Where appropriate, tax on goods and services (VAT) will be added to the payment price in accordance with currently effective rates.
  2. You may pay for the Service using a credit card, however, please note that payment methods may vary depending on the country of the user. If you choose to pay fees with a credit card you agree to pay them in the form of a recurring payment, under which the subscription fee is deducted automatically basing on the Account plan you have chosen. The recurring payment is initiated on the first day after the expiration date of the previous subscription ("recurring payment date"). If the recurring is unsuccessful at that point, we will retry to complete the payment transaction in the following days and, if the completion of the transaction is unsuccessful, we will assume that the Service is terminated. In the event that the credit card you provided us expires or any credit card information changes or becomes out of date, in order to procure continuity and avoid Service interruptions, you authorize us to obtain or determine updated or replacement information, in particular expiration dates or credit card number and continue billing on the same terms as the previously provided credit card. We are not responsible for any fees charged by payment services providers.
  3. We will issue an invoice for the Service within 30 days of receipt of each payment. You expressly agree to receive invoices from us by electronic means of communication. For settlement purposes it is assumed that a month has 30 days, a year has 360 days and two years have 720 days.
  4. We reserve the right to change the fees for the Service and add-ons at any time by posting a new pricelist to Responsly Pricing. The new pricelist applies to all new Accounts and upgrades.
Payment processing
1. We use the services of Stripe Payments Europe, Ltd. for payment processing. The One Building, 1 Grand Canal Street Lower, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Stripe"). In connection with the processing of the payment of the fee, we do not save any credit card information. Rather, credit card details or bank details are sent directly to Stripe. For more information on data processing by Stripe, please refer to Stripe's privacy policy at www.stripe.com. The legal basis for data processing associated with the use of Stripe is Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR.
2. Stripe collects additional data for its own purposes, such as preventing abuse and developing its products, as well as for marketing purposes. This includes in particular technical usage data (IP address, device identifier or information on the operating system).
3. Some of the data processing by Stripe takes place on servers in the USA. In the event that personal data is transferred to the USA and it has to be ensured that an international data transfer is regulated by a data transfer mechanism, we have concluded the EU standard contractual clauses. Stripe has thus committed itself to guaranteeing the European data protection principles and the local level of data protection also in the context of data processing taking place in the USA.
4. After the payment has been processed, you will receive a proof of payment by email. Stripe notifies us of the incoming payment and we save the information on the incoming payment as well as the information on the content or the type of subscription, the term, the fee, termination conditions and the selected payment method in connection with your Responsly account in order to assign incoming payments and to be able to prove and manage the content you have ordered in your Responsly account. For accounting reasons in connection with the registration data, the information on payments made is kept for a period of six years. The legal basis for this storage is Article 6 (1) c GDPR in conjunction with Section 257 HGB and Section 147 AO.

After that, the billing system automatically renews your Account every 30 days, (every 360 days if you choose the annual plan or 720 days if two-year subscription is chosen) and charges the appropriate amount to your credit card.

4. Refunds: our Service is a pay-as-you-go service. Therefore, we do not issue refunds, even if you cancel your Account immediately after your credit card is charged for the new billing period. For example, if we charge your credit card on May 3th, and you cancel your Account on May 7th, you are still responsible for paying for the entire month (or year, if you have selected an annual plan.) No subsequent charges are applied to your credit card, but the amounts already charged are not refunded.
