2. AMENDMENTS
KeepSolid may modify this Agreement at any time for any reason, including, without limitation, in order to reflect changes to applicable law or changes to our Services. You should review this Agreement regularly. We will indicate that changes to this Agreement have been made by updating the date indicated after “Last Updated:” at the beginning of this Agreement. If you do not accept any of the modifications made to this Agreement, your sole and exclusive remedy is to terminate your use of the Services. Notwithstanding the terms of any Refund Policy applicable to a Service and subject to the terms of this section, if you choose to terminate your use of the Services due to our modification of this Agreement, we will refund, on a pro-rata basis, any unearned pre-paid Fee (as defined in Section 3) that you paid for the Services. For example, if you pre-paid the Fee for a 30-day month for one of our Services, and on the 15th of the month you notify us that you are terminating your use of the Service due to a modification to this Agreement, we will refund to you half of the pre-paid unearned Fee representing the remainder of the month. We will not refund any unearned pre-paid Fee if you have breached this Agreement. By continuing to use or access the Services after the modifications are in effect for thirty (30) days, you are deemed to be bound by the modified Agreement and you will have no right to any refund under this section.
3. FEES AND REFUND POLICY
- FEES. You shall pay all fees charged by KeepSolid for each of the Services (“Fees”) in effect at the time in accordance with the relevant pricing plan (“Pricing Plan”). You may review our current Pricing Plan by viewing the Addenda for the relevant Services or the page of our website containing the most current Pricing Plan for the relevant Services. We generally charge Fees on a pre-paid subscription basis, but we may, in our sole discretion, change our Fees and/or Fee structure at any time by updating the Pricing Plans. We may take steps to collect the Fees from you. You will pay our reasonable out-of-pocket collection costs and expenses, including, without limitation, attorney’s fees.
- PAYMENT. You will pay the applicable Fee via a third-party
payment processors’ method of payment. We currently use the
following methods of payment:
- for iOS devices – Apple iTunes In-App Purchase;
- for macOS devices – Apple Mac Store, Amazon, or PayPal; and
- for Windows devices – Amazon, PayPal, Stripe, or Paymentwall.
If we notice that any Fee payment is not processed for any reason, we will notify you via the email address that we have on file for you; your access to the applicable Services will be suspended until we receive payment of the applicable Fees.
- FREE TRIALS; REFUNDS; DISCOUNTS. We may offer temporary
free trial or beta versions for all or some of the Services. Free
trial versions of the Services may not contain full functionality
and may have certain features disabled. Our free trials are
generally for a period of seven (7) days, but we may, in our sole
discretion, cease offering, or lengthen or shorten, free trials at
any time. A beta version does not represent the final product and
may contain bugs. We may, in our sole discretion, collect the
applicable subscription Fee from you at the beginning or at the
end of the free trial period.
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, we also offer a refund for a period of thirty (30) days after your initiation of a Service subscription for all subscriptions.
For clarity: (i) for non-recurring subscriptions, we offer a refund for a period of thirty (30) days after you subscribe for the particular Service subscription (and pay the applicable Fee); and (ii) for recurring subscriptions, we offer a refund for a period of thirty (30) days after you first subscribe for the particular recurring Service subscription (and pay the applicable recurring Fee for the first time). This means that any and all subsequent payments of a recurring subscription Fee are not eligible for a refund. For example:
You subscribe for a monthly recurring Service subscription, for which you pay your first applicable Fee on October 1. You are eligible to receive a refund of your first applicable Fee through October 31. On November 1, you pay your second applicable Fee for the monthly recurring Service subscription. You are not eligible to receive a refund of your second applicable Fee at any time.
You can claim your refund from third-party payment processors as follows:
- Apple In-App Purchase refunds can be claimed at (https://expresslane.apple.com) or a successor website;
- Google Play Store In-App Purchase refunds can be claimed at (https://support.google.com/googleplay/contact/play_request_refund_apps) or a successor website;
- Amazon purchase refunds can be claimed at (http://www.amazon.com/gp/css/returns/homepage) or a successor website;

In certain cases, we may not be able to refund the applicable Fee via the same third-party payment processor used to pay us such Fee. In such cases, you will work with us to process the refund of the applicable Fee by other means.
In our sole discretion, at any time and for any term, we may make available certain promotions, offers, and/or discounts (each, a “Promotion,” collectively, “Promotions”) on any of our Services. You may not assign, exchange, sell, transfer, combine with any other Promotion, or redeem for cash or other goods and services any promotion.

Judgment upon any arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.
This binding mandatory arbitration provision shall survive: (i) termination or changes in the Agreement, and the relationship between you and us concerning the Agreement; and (ii) the bankruptcy of any party or any similar proceeding initiated by you or on your behalf. If any portion of this binding mandatory arbitration provision is deemed invalid or unenforceable, the remaining portions shall nevertheless remain in force.
The parties acknowledge and agree that a breach of a party’s obligations with respect to the non-breaching party’s intellectual property or other proprietary rights could cause irreparable harm to the non-breaching party for which the non-breaching party would have no adequate remedy at law. Therefore, the parties agree that, notwithstanding the agreement of the parties to arbitrate Claims as set forth above, the non-breaching party may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction to seek to enjoin preliminarily or permanently any breach or threatened breach of the non-breaching party’s intellectual property or other proprietary rights.
