Unless otherwise expressly agreed with us in in the applicable order form for your purchase of the Desk365 Service:

(ii) if you are permitted to use Desk365 Service as part of an offer that lets you evaluate the performance of the Service for a trial period, your subscription will be cancelled at the end of the trial period communicated to you and your account will be automatically transitioned to a Free Plan unless you subscribe and pay for a Pro Plan.
(iii) you may add new users to your subscription during a subscription term at the same pricing as the underlying subscription, prorated for the remainder of that subscription term. Any added subscriptions will terminate on the same date as the underlying / original subscription.
Except as otherwise specified:
(i) the fees are based on the subscription purchased.
(ii) the fees set out in the order form shall be charged in advance for the full subscription term. All fees payable under an accepted order form are non-cancellable and all fees paid are non-refundable.
(iii) the subscription fee cannot be decreased / refunded during any subscription term but if, during the term of your subscription, the number of your users falls below the number of users you paid for, we may, at our sole discretion, permit you to utilize the unutilized (prorated) subscription for paid user(s) when you renew your Pro Plan subscription for a subsequent term.
All fees mentioned in an order form exclude any Value Added Tax (or other sales or service or similar tax) legally payable on the date of the invoice, which shall be paid by you in addition. You are responsible for paying all taxes, levies, duties, or similar governmental assessments of any nature assessable in any jurisdiction whatsoever that may be associated with your purchases hereunder. If we are legally obliged to pay or collect any such taxes, levies or duties, Desk365 will include the applicable taxes in your invoice, and you will pay that amount unless you provide Desk365 with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority. Desk365 determines your tax liability based on the address associated with your billing information. Therefore, please keep this current and updated at all times.
We may revise the fees for the Service from time to time and will provide you with email notice of any changes in fees at least thirty (30) days prior to your subscription renewal date. Any increase in fees will not apply until the expiry of your then-current subscription term.
Please note that you are responsible for providing all connections and equipment needed to use the Services at your own cost. Any fees that are payable to the relevant service provider(s) of your connections and equipment are in addition to any fees payable to us.
If you are subscribing to a paid plan, your account is set to automatic renewal and you authorize Desk365 to charge any subscription fees that becomes due under your account to the preferred payment method that you have selected, on a recurring basis until you cancel your subscription.
On or after the renewal date associated with your account, Desk365 will automatically charge you for the renewal fee according to the subscription plan that you had selected, unless you have cancelled or modified the subscription to the Service prior to its renewal date. Payment shall be made in the currency and as specified by Desk365 in the pricing of the selected plan as on the date of payment.
If we do not receive full payment from you when due, we may suspend your subscription to the Desk365 Service or move you to a Free Plan. When you move to a Free Plan, some of the features and data that was available under your Pro Plan may no longer be available and cannot be retrieved even if you restore your subscription subsequently.
On successful renewal, the Service will be provided “as available” on the date of the renewal and subject to the Terms as effective on the said date.
We reserve the right to investigate any suspected violations of these Terms and if you are found to be in violation, we may, in our sole discretion, stop providing the Service to you or we may terminate your subscription.

You may terminate/cancel a subscription at any time during its term and for paid plans such termination/cancellation will become effective at the end of the then current term of your subscription. You are solely responsible for properly cancelling / modifying your subscription as may be relevant prior to the due date for renewal.
As a security precaution for Pro Plan accounts, an email or phone request to cancel or make changes to your subscription will not result in cancellation/change. You must cancel/change your Pro Plan account from the “Your Plan” page on the Site. Cancellation of Pro Plan accounts will result in the account moving to the Free Plan. Please be aware that any features and data that is available solely as part of the Pro Plan will be removed when moving to the Free Plan and cannot be restored automatically thereafter.
Free Plan accounts can be cancelled on a request by email from your admin user’s account to Desk365. Any cancellation of your Free Plan account will result in the immediate deactivation or deletion of your account, and the removal of all content in your account.
Free Plan accounts that do not have any new tickets created for a continuous period of three months will be automatically deleted without any notice to you, and all content in the account will be removed.
Please be aware that we may for a time retain residual account information in our backup and/or archival copies of our database. We will make reasonable commercial efforts to delete your information as soon as possible after you request us to do so, except to the extent otherwise required by law.
Desk365, in its sole discretion, has the right to suspend or terminate your account if you breach these Terms. Such termination of your account will result in the deactivation or deletion of your account, denial of access to your account, and the removal of all content in your account.
If either party believes that the other party has failed in any material respect to perform its obligations under these Terms, then that party may provide written notice to the breaching party describing the alleged failure in reasonable detail. If a breach has occurred and if the breaching party does not cure or begin to cure the material failure within thirty (30) days after receiving such written notice, then the non-breaching party may terminate this agreement immediately by written notice to the breaching party. This is without prejudice to our right to suspend or terminate your account without notice as provided for elsewhere in these Terms. If you terminate this agreement in accordance with this clause, we will refund any prepaid fees covering the remainder of the term after the effective date of termination.
A party’s accrued rights and liabilities are not impacted by termination of these Terms or the cancellation or deletion of your subscription or account. At termination or expiration, all licenses granted hereunder shall terminate.
We reserve the right at any time and from time to time to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Desk365 Service (or any part thereof) with or without notice. If we make a material adverse change to the functionality of the Desk365 Service and you do not want to continue your subscription as a result thereof, or if we discontinue the Service at any time, we will refund any fees paid in advance, pro-rated for the unused term of your then current subscription. In such cases, we will provide you with reasonable advance notice unless where such notice is not feasible and also provide you with an opportunity to export your Content from the Service.
We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to change or modify these Terms at any time, in our sole discretion, by posting the revised Terms on the Site. The updated Terms will be effective as of the time of posting, or on such later date as may be specified in the updated Terms and will apply to use of the Desk365 Service from that point forward.
