We (the folks at BoxEffects) are on a mission to find stories that will make a difference. We hope you love our products and services — from screenplay editor tools to entertainment industry solutions to the next great idea that we haven't even thought of yet — as much as we love creating them.
These Terms of Service ("Terms") describe our commitments to you, and your rights and responsibilities when using our services. Please read them carefully and reach out to us (hello@avocadosai.com) if you have any questions. If you don't agree to these Terms, don't use our services.
We've made these Terms available under a Creative Commons Sharealike license, which means that you're more than welcome to copy them, adapt them, and repurpose them for your own use. Just make sure to revise them so that your Terms of Service reflect your actual practices. Credit to the original CC BY SA 4 Terms of Service document from Automattic (https://wordpress.com/tos/).
These Terms govern your access to and use of the software, applications, extensions, and other products and services we provide through or for avocadosai.com and boxeffects.com ("Services"). Please note that our products and services are intended for commercial use and you acknowledge that your use is that of a representative of a business (as defined by applicable law) and not that of a consumer.
These Terms also govern for visitors' access to and use of any websites that use our Services.
Please read these Terms carefully before accessing or using our Services. By accessing or using any part of our Services, you agree to be bound by all of the Terms and all other operating rules, policies, and procedures that we may publish via the Services from time to time (collectively, the "Agreement"). You also agree that we may automatically change, update, or add on to our Services as stated in the Terms, and the Agreement will apply to any changes.
"You" means any individual or entity using our Services. If you use our Services on behalf of another person or entity, you represent and warrant that you're authorized to accept the Agreement on that person's or entity's behalf, that by using our Services you're accepting the Agreement on behalf of that person or entity, and that if you, or that person or entity, violates the Agreement, you and that person or entity agree to be responsible to us.
We refer to BoxEffects Inc., collectively as BoxEffects, "us," or "we" throughout these Terms.
When using our Services requires an account, you agree to provide us with complete and accurate information and to keep the information current so that we can communicate with you about your account. We may need to send you emails about notable updates (like changes to our Terms or Privacy Policy), or to let you know about legal inquiries or complaints we receive about the ways you use our Services so you can make informed choices in response.
We may limit your access to our Services until we're able to verify your account information, like your email address.
When you create an account, we consider that to be an inquiry about our products and services, which means that we may also contact you to share more details about what we have to offer (i.e., marketing). Don't worry — if you aren't interested, you can opt out of the marketing communications, whether it's an email, phone call, or text message.
You're solely responsible and liable for all activity under your account. You're also fully responsible for maintaining the security of your account (which includes keeping your password secure). We're not liable for any acts or omissions by you, including any damages of any kind incurred as a result of your acts or omissions.
Don't share or misuse your access credentials. And notify us immediately of any unauthorized uses of your account, store, or website, or of any other breach of security at hello@avocadosai.com. If we believe your account has been compromised, we may suspend or disable it.
If you'd like to learn about how we handle the data you provide us, please see our Privacy Policy.
Our Services are not directed to children. You're not allowed to access or use our Services if you're under the age of 18. If you register as a user or otherwise use our Services, you represent that you're at least 18. By agreeing to these Terms, you represent and warrant to us that: (a) you are at least 18 years old or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, whichever is higher; (b) you have not previously been suspended or removed from our Services; and (c) your registration and your use of our Services is in compliance with any and all applicable laws and regulations.
We haven't reviewed, and can't review, all of the content like text, photo, video, audio, code, computer software, and other materials posted to our Services by users or anyone else ("Content") or on websites that link to, or are linked from, our Services. We're not responsible for any use or effects of Content or third-party websites. So, for example:
Fees for Paid Services. Some of our Services are offered for a fee, like avocadosai.com plans (collectively, "Paid Services"). This section applies to any purchases of Paid Services.
By using a Paid Service, you agree to pay the specified fees. Depending on the Paid Service, there may be different kinds of fees, like some that are one-time, recurring, revenue-based, or based on an advertising campaign budget that you set. For recurring fees (AKA subscriptions), your subscription begins on your purchase date, and we'll bill or charge you in the automatically-renewing interval (such as monthly, annually, or biennially) you select, on a pre-pay basis until you cancel, which you can do at any time by contacting the relevant support team.
Taxes. To the extent permitted by law, or unless explicitly stated otherwise, all fees do not include applicable federal, provincial, state, local or other governmental sales, value-added, goods and services, harmonized or other taxes, fees, or charges ("Taxes"). You're responsible for paying all applicable Taxes relating to your use of our Services, your payments, or your purchases. If we're obligated to pay or collect Taxes on the fees you've paid or will pay, you're responsible for those Taxes, and we may collect payment from you.
Payment. You must provide accurate and up-to-date payment information. By providing your payment information, you authorize us to store it until you request deletion. If your payment fails, we suspect fraud, or Paid Services are otherwise not paid for or paid for on time (for example, if you contact your bank or credit card company to decline or reverse the charge of fees for Paid Services), we may immediately cancel or revoke your access to our Services without notice to you. You authorize us to charge any updated payment information provided by your bank or payment service provider (e.g., new expiration date) or other payment methods provided if we can't charge your primary payment method.
Automatic Renewal. By enrolling in a subscription, you authorize us to automatically charge the then-applicable fees and Taxes for each subsequent subscription period until the subscription is canceled. If you received a discount, used a coupon code, or subscribed during a free trial or promotion, your subscription will automatically renew for the full price of the subscription at the end of the discount period. This means that unless you cancel a subscription, it'll automatically renew and we'll charge your payment method(s). You must cancel at least one month before the scheduled end date of any annual subscription and at least 24 hours before the end of any shorter subscription period. The date for the automatic renewal is based on the date of the original purchase and cannot be changed. If you've purchased access to multiple services, you may have multiple renewal dates.
You may view your renewal date(s), cancel, or manage subscriptions in your settings or by contacting the support team (hello@avocadosai.com).
Fees and Changes. We may change our fees at any time in accordance with these Terms and requirements under applicable law. This means that we may change our fees going forward, start charging fees for Services that were previously free, or remove or update features or functionality that were previously included in the fees. If you don't agree with the changes, you must cancel and not use our Services.
Refunds. We may have a refund policy for some of our Paid Services, and we'll also provide refunds if required by law. In all other cases, there are no refunds and all payments are final. You can reach us at hello@avocadosai.com to discuss about refunds.
We may have a "no-show policy" for some Paid Services that require your participation. This means that if you don't show up for, don't participate in, or are late for a scheduled session, you'll still be charged for the Paid Services and won't be entitled to a refund.
We love hearing from you and are always looking to improve our Services. If you choose to provide input and suggestions regarding existing functionalities, problems with or proposed modifications or improvements to our Services ("Feedback"), then you hereby grant BoxEffects an unrestricted, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, fully-paid, royalty-free right and license to exploit the Feedback in any manner and for any purpose, including to improve our Services and create other Services.
