1. ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS OF SERVICE
THIS IS A LEGAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN YOU ("USER" OR "YOU") AND VIVID DOCUMENT IMAGING TECHNOLOGIES ("VIVID"). BY COMPLETING THE REGISTRATION PROCESS, YOU ARE INDICATING YOUR AGREEMENT TO BE BOUND BY ALL OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT. The Online Service ("Service") is provided to you ("User") under the following VIVID terms ("Terms"). The Terms comprise the entire agreement between User and VIVID and supersede all prior agreements between the parties regarding the subject matter contained herein.
2. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICE
VIVID is providing User with a capability to create and convert PDF files. User must: (1) provide all equipment and communications services, including a computer and modem, necessary to establish a connection to the World Wide Web and (2) provide for own access to the World Wide Web and pay any connection and service fees associated with such access. In consideration for this Service, User agrees to: (1) provide certain current, complete, and accurate information about User as prompted to do so by the Service and (2) maintain and update this information as required to keep it current, complete and accurate. All information requested on original sign up shall be referred to as registration Information ("Registration Information"). VIVID will maintain Registration Information in accordance with these Terms and then current product privacy policy, available at http://www.pdfblue.com/privacy.html. Should there be any conflict between these Terms and VIVID's privacy policy, these Terms shall supersede the privacy policy. You authorize a recurring monthly or annual charge to your credit card in exchange for use of the VIVID service as indicated by published standard plans or a customized quote provided for your specific use. You also agree that the enrollment for the next service period is automatic. Please note that refunds on a pro-rated basis are issued only for yearly plans. When yearly subscriptions are cancelled before the subscriptions end, refunds are issued based on a pro-rated calculation of the subscription charges at the monthly rate for the plan, for the actual number of months the account was subscribed (the number of months between the most recent yearly charges and the cancellation date). If the calculated refund amount exceeds the yearly subscription rate, then no refund is issued.
VIVID will not issue any pro-rated refunds for the remaining period during the month when an account with a monthly subscription plan ("current plan") is downgraded to a smaller plan ("new plan") (a plan that costs less per month than the current plan) during the middle of a month. However the rate applicable to the new plan will automatically be charged starting the first of the subsequent month, and you must contact info@pdfblue.com in order to downgrade. If you attempt to sign up for a downgraded account via the online system, it will be considers as a new account and therefore you will be charged for both accounts until you cancel your old subscription.
