Terms of Service

Please read these Terms of Service (“Terms”, “Terms of Service”) carefully before using the https://shortclix.com website (the “Service”) operated by rematic media GmbH (“us”, “we”, or “our”). SHORTCLIX is a brand of rematic media GmbH, Argentinierstraße 51/1, 1040 Vienna, Austria. References to “SHORTCLIX” in these Terms mean rematic media GmbH. Full company details are set out in our Imprint.

Your access to and use of the Service is conditioned upon your acceptance of and compliance with these Terms. These Terms apply to all visitors, users, and others who wish to access or use the Service. By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you disagree with any part of the terms, then you do not have permission to access the Service.

Communications

When you create an Account, we send you service-related (transactional) e-mails that are necessary to operate the Service, such as account, security, billing and automated statistics notifications. You cannot opt out of these while you hold an Account, as they are required to provide the Service.

We will only send you newsletters, marketing or promotional materials if you have given your separate, explicit consent (for example by ticking a dedicated opt-in box), or where otherwise permitted by applicable law. Such consent is voluntary and is not a condition of creating an Account or using the Service. You may withdraw it at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing, by following the unsubscribe link in any such e-mail or by contacting us.

Subscriptions

Some parts of the Service are billed on a subscription basis (“Subscription(s)”). You will be billed in advance on a recurring and periodic basis (“Billing Cycle”). Billing cycles are set either on a monthly or annual basis, depending on the type of subscription plan you select when purchasing a Subscription. At the end of each Billing Cycle, your Subscription will automatically renew under the exact same conditions unless you cancel it or SHORTCLIX cancels it. You may cancel your Subscription renewal by contacting SHORTCLIX customer support team or by canceling the Subscription from your account dashboard.

Depending on the payment method you choose at checkout, your order and payment are handled by one of our payment providers:

A valid payment method is required to process the payment for your Subscription. You must provide accurate and complete billing information, and by submitting it you authorize the applicable payment provider to charge all Subscription fees incurred through your account, including recurring renewal fees, to your chosen payment method until you cancel. Invoices and receipts are issued by the payment provider that handled your order. Should automatic billing fail for any reason, you may be asked to complete payment manually for the applicable billing period by the date indicated on the invoice.

Free Trial

SHORTCLIX may, at its sole discretion, offer a Subscription with a free trial for a limited period of time (“Free Trial”). You may be required to enter your billing information in order to sign up for the Free Trial. If you do enter your billing information when signing up for the Free Trial, you will not be charged until the Free Trial has expired. On the last day of the Free Trial period, unless you canceled your Subscription, you will be automatically charged the applicable Subscription fees for the type of Subscription you have selected. At any time and without notice, SHORTCLIX reserves the right to (i) modify the terms and conditions of the Free Trial offer, or (ii) cancel such Free Trial offer.

Fee Changes

SHORTCLIX, in its sole discretion and at any time, may modify the Subscription fees for the Subscriptions. Any Subscription fee change will become effective at the end of the then-current Billing Cycle.

SHORTCLIX will provide you with reasonable prior notice of any change in Subscription fees to give you an opportunity to terminate your Subscription before such change becomes effective.

Your continued use of the Service after the Subscription fee change comes into effect constitutes your agreement to pay the modified Subscription fee amount.

Refunds

We offer a full refund on any purchase made within 14 days of the date of purchase. Refunds are processed to your original payment method by the payment provider that handled your order. Full details are set out in our Refund Policy.

Disclaimer

Your use of the Service is at your sole risk. The Service is provided on an “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” basis.

Exclusions

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, so the limitations above may not apply to you.

Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Austria, excluding its conflict-of-law rules and the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. For business customers (entrepreneurs within the meaning of the Austrian Consumer Protection Act, KSchG), the exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising out of or in connection with these Terms is the court with subject-matter jurisdiction in Vienna, Austria.

If you are a consumer, this choice of law does not deprive you of the protection afforded by mandatory provisions of the law of the country in which you have your habitual residence, and you may bring proceedings in the courts of that country where mandatory law so provides. Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes any liability that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable mandatory law, including liability for personal injury or for damage caused by intent or gross negligence.

Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect, and the invalid provision shall be replaced by a valid provision that comes closest to the intended economic purpose.

Changes

We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to modify or replace these Terms at any time. If a revision is material, we will provide at least 30 days notice prior to any new terms taking effect. What constitutes a material change will be determined at our sole discretion.
