  1. ACCESSING THE SCRIPTIX PLATFORM AND USING THE SCRIPTIX SERVICES

2.1 We have developed the Scriptix
Platform, using AI technology to provide an accurate and superior automated
transcription service. Scriptix develops automated 
speech-to-text
algorithms
 to turn the
spoken word into text and provide the following services: (a) automated

(“Scriptix”); (b) editors for Transcription and Subtitles that allows users to
search, verify and correct the content of their Scriptix output (the “Scriptix

to create an account (“Account”). We discourage generic account names and we
actively monitor concurrent Account usage. You may log into your Account on
multiple devices but you shall not be able to access and use the Scriptix
Services via the same Account from multiple devices at the same time. Dependent
on the tier of your Account (as detailed at clause 3.3) you may be authorized
to have more than one user (“Seat”) per your Account. The number of Seats per
Account shall be determined by your tier and if there are multiple Seats
allowed via your Account, each Seat shall need to be a named individual. The
original Account holder shall be the lead Seat and shall be able to add a
specified number of other Seats (in accordance with the selected tier). Seats
may be transferred to new users at any time but shall always be for named
individuals and not a generic Seat used by multiple individuals concurrently. Sharing
of log-in details with any other user is strictly prohibited in accordance with
clause 2.6.

restrict access to some parts of the Scriptix Platform, or the entire Scriptix
Platform, to users who have registered with us. We will use reasonable
endeavours to fix issues and bugs in the Scriptix Platform as quickly as we
can.

2.6 If you choose, or you are
provided with, a user identification code, password or any other piece of
information as part of our security procedures, you must treat such information
as confidential, and you must not disclose it to any third party. We have the
right to disable any user identification code or password, whether chosen by
you or allocated by us, at any time, if in our opinion you have failed to
comply with any of the provisions of this agreement.

Platform by knowingly introducing viruses, Trojans, worms, logic bombs or other
material which is malicious or technologically harmful. You must not attempt to
gain unauthorized access to the Scriptix Platform, the server on which the
Scriptix Platform is stored or any server, computer or database connected to
the Scriptix Platform. You must not attack the Scriptix Platform via a
denial-of-service attack or a distributed denial-of service attack.

2.8 If you breach clause 2.7, you
will be committing a criminal offence under the Computer Misuse Act 1990. We
will report any such breach to the relevant law enforcement authorities, and we
will cooperate with those authorities by disclosing your identity to them. In
the event of such a breach, we reserve the right to immediately cease your
right to use the Scriptix Platform.

4.1 If you wish to subscribe for a
Monthly Subscription or Annual Subscription, you:

(a) agree to pay to us the relevant
Fee as set out on the Pricing Page; and (b) agree and undertake to
pay to us (without any deduction) the relevant Fee in advance in full (in EUR,
GBP, USD or the equivalent in your local currency based on the conversion rate
at the time of payment) and authorise us to collect the full fee from you each
month or at the beginning of each year (as applicable) until you cancel your
subscription in accordance with clauses 5.3 to 5.6 below; and (c) acknowledge
that, subject to clause 5, that the relevant Fees are non-refundable.

4.2 You may upgrade from a Monthly
Subscription to an Annual Subscription at any time via your Account. If you
upgrade from a Monthly Subscription to an Annual Subscription, we will
immediately bill you and you agree to pay to us (without any deduction) the
relevant Fee in full at the beginning of the next month when payment of the Fees
is due. You may also downgrade from an Annual Subscription to a Monthly
Subscription via your Account at the end of the year of your Annual

tier plan to a higher tier plan i.e. from Individual to Team. If you upgrade
your tier via your Account you will be immediately charged the pro-rated
difference (for the month or the year as applicable) between the two tiers and
will immediately receive the extra benefits of your new tier.

4.4 You may also downgrade your tier
by selecting to do so via your Account. If you choose to do so, the downgrade
will come into effect at the end of the month or the end of the year as
applicable in time for your next Fee payment. You shall lose the benefits of
the tier from which you have downgraded at this time.

4.5 We reserve our rights to amend
the fees at any time. However, we shall notify you in writing of any change in
the Fees and any such change shall take effect at the beginning of the new
month for Monthly Subscriptions and the beginning of the New Year for Annual
Subscriptions.

4.6 We may offer promotional offers
from time to time which may include promo codes or Account credits, and which
may be subject to expiration dates and may only be applicable to selected users
of the Scriptix Platform. We reserve the right to remove Account credits from
your Account or end a promotional offer without notice if we believe, at our
sole discretion, you are not acting in good faith in relation to the terms of
the promotion.

4.7 Payments will be processed by a
third-party payment processor, Mollie, in accordance with its standard terms
and conditions: 
https://www.mollie.com/en/user-agreement.

You hereby give consent:

(a) to us sending you electronic
communications (including via email and text) in relation to upcoming and successful
payments managed via the Scriptix Platform; and (b) for the payment processor
to access your bank account which is nominated by you from time to time, and to
either deduct or deposit the applicable amount, less any fee which may apply.
See the Pricing Page for more information about applicable
Fees.

You acknowledge and agree that when
using the Mollie service on the Scriptix Platform, you will comply with
Mollie’s end user licence agreement in respect to your use of the Mollie
service. You also acknowledge that Mollie’s privacy policy at: 
https://www.mollie.com/en/privacy shall apply to Mollie’s processing of any
personal information you submit to Mollie via the Scriptix Platform. We shall
not be liable to any person if Mollie or any other payment processor is not
able to deduct or deposit any amount due to insufficient funds or incorrect
bank account details.

4.8 If the credit card details you
have provided us with via your Account are invalid at the point of us charging
you for the Fees owed to us, we shall inform you by email. We will make every
effort to contact you by email (to the address used to set up your Account) if
your card payment fails.

4.9 If your payment fails, after
notifying you we shall continue to attempt to take payment up to three (3)
times over a period of nine (9) days to allow you to update your payment
details before we shall suspend your Account and your access to the Scriptix
Platform and the Scriptix Services.

4.10 If the card details are not
updated after 9 days, we reserve the right to permanently delete your Account
and all data, files and Scriptix results held within.

  1. CANCELLATION AND REFUNDS

Cooling-off period

5.1 If you are a consumer, you have a
legal right to cancel a contract during the period set out below in clause 5.2.

other reason you decide you do not want to use the Scriptix Services, you can
notify us of your decision to cancel this agreement and receive a refund for
any amount you have already paid minus a pro-rated amount for any use of the
Scriptix Services you have already made during the cooling-off period.

5.2 Your legal right to cancel this
agreement starts from the date you sign up for an Individual Plan, in
accordance with clause 3.1 above. You then have a period of fourteen (14) days
in which you may cancel (“cooling-off period”).

5.3 To cancel this agreement during
the cooling-off period, please do so at any time during the fourteen (14) day
period by clicking on the ‘Cancel Subscription’ link on your Account settings
page or contact us in writing to tell us by sending an email to: 
[email protected]. You may wish to keep a copy of your cancellation
notification for your own records. If you send us your cancellation notice by

settings.

Cancellation after the cooling-off
period

cooling-off period set out in clause 5.2, you can still cancel your Account at

page. You are solely responsible for properly cancelling your Account. For the
avoidance of doubt, the Monthly Subscription automatically renews each month

available for any remaining days in the month.

5.6 After each auto-renewal of your
Annual Subscription you will have fourteen (14) days in which to cancel your
subscription and receive a refund. Please request this in writing [via your
Account or] by sending an email to [email protected]. If you request
to cancel during the fourteen (14) day period and there is significant use of the
Scriptix Platform via your Account during this time you may be charged the
Monthly Subscription Fee for one month. This shall be at Scriptix’s sole
discretion. For the avoidance of doubt if you are charged a Monthly
Subscription Fee for one month this shall be deducted from the Annual
Subscription amount, and you shall receive a refund for the remaining months.
After the fourteen (14) day period you will no longer be eligible for a refund
if you choose to cancel your Annual Subscription.
