Description of Services :

The Site enables Merchants to setup and manage online calendars and appointment schedules for multiple staff members. Customers may review calendars provided by Merchants and schedule appointments with different staff members. Merchants can also schedule appointments with Customers. In addition, the Site provides both Customers and Merchants with various services that enhance and support schedule management through such capabilities as automated notifications and communication capabilities. All activities and capabilities offered by or through the Site shall individually and collectively be referred to as “Services”.

These ToS apply to all users, Customers and Merchants on the Site (together “Users”). The Site includes proprietary and third party information, including but not limited to all products, pictures, reviews, labels and other information supplements, in textual, visual, audio, video and/or other digital formats offered via the Site.

“Submission” means the upload, submission, sending or posting, where and if available, by Users, whether Merchants or Customers, of any photograph(s), video(s), image(s), text, rating, opinions and/or comment(s) or other content to the Site.

Registration :

In order to have access to certain Services offered on the Site, Users, whether as a Merchant or a Customer may be required to create an Account. You may never use someone else’s Account.

When creating an Account with the Site, you agree to provide accurate, current and complete information about yourself (“Registration Data”) as prompted by our registration form. Registration Data for a Merchant Account may include, but is not limited to, business name, business owner first and last name, business location, business phone number, business e-mail address, password and payment information. Merchant registration may also prompt for optional information including a description of the business, an image used to represent the business, a website URL for the business’ website, fax number, business policies, cancellation policies and any additional information. Registration Data for a Customer Account may include, but is not limited to, first and last name, cell phone number, home phone number and e-mail address.

If you are registering on behalf of a company, by registering you agree that you have the requisite authority to register on behalf of such company. The email address you provide during your registration will be the login for your account. Each account must have a unique email address and you agree that you shall not attempt to create more than one account under the same email address.

We reserve the right, in our sole and absolute discretion, to terminate your Account for inaccurate, untrue, deceptive and/or incomplete Registration Data.

Account fees :

Our usage, subscription or Account fees are explained to Merchants during either registration or Service subscription process and are subject to change from time to time at our absolute and sole discretion. Please note that any Fees that are disclosed to you in the registration or Service subscription process are deemed part of this Agreement. You agree to pay Appofox for all Fees charged to your Account as per this Agreement.

Subscription plans to the Services may consist of an initial period, for which there is a one time charge or recurring charges as agreed to by you. By entering into this Agreement, you acknowledge that your subscription may have an initial and recurring payment feature and you accept responsibility for all recurring charges prior to cancellation.

We may submit monthly charges to your credit card provider without further authorization from you, until you provide prior notice to us that you have terminated this authorization. Such notice will not affect charges submitted before Appofox could reasonably take action in response to your notice. Your non-termination or continued use of the Services reaffirms that Appofox is authorized to charge your account. Your charges may be payable in advance, in arrears, per usage, or as otherwise described when you initially subscribed to the Services.

By providing a credit card or any other payment information either during registration or at any time thereafter, you warrant that such credit card or payment gateway is good and valid, and you authorize Appofox to charge such credit card or payment gateway for amounts due under the Appofox Invoices.

Appofox offers a fully functional free trial so you can assess the suitability of the service for your requirements. This trial can be extended upon request if you need more time to assess the software. For these reasons we do not offer refunds once you have signed up for a paid plan and your credit card has been charged. In order to be fair, no exceptions are made.

Appofox reserves the right, at any time and at its discretion, to change any fees and any other pricing terms. Any changes shall be posted on the Appofox website and will be effective immediately.

Non Payment

If, for whatever reason, Appofox charges your credit card or payment gateway pursuant to Section “Account fees” above, and the payment does not go through, Appofox reserves the right to suspend your access to the Services. If you fail to pay the applicable invoice within 10 days of the date of suspension, or to otherwise negotiate a payment plan for all amounts then due, Appofox reserves the right to cancel your account. In the event Appofox cancels your account for non-payment, all amounts due and unpaid from you to Appofox for use of the Services shall become immediately due and payable. In the event of non-payment and the exhaustion of the procedures set forth in this section, Appofox reserves the right to seek payment using any remedies allowed to it by law.

Username And Password :

As part of the registration process, you will be asked to select a username and password. We may refuse to grant you a username, which in our sole and absolute discretion, is deemed to be invalid. Invalid usernames include, but are not limited to, usernames that are fashioned to impersonate another person, are protected by trademark law or other proprietary rights, are vulgar or otherwise offensive or those that may cause confusion. These are only some examples of invalid usernames and we reserve the sole right, at our own discretion, to deem any username invalid.

YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR MAINTAINING THE CONFIDENTIALITY OF YOUR USERNAME AND PASSWORD AND FOR ANY AND ALL APPOINTMENTS, SUBMISSIONS, COMMUNICATIONS AND OTHER ACTIVITIES THAT ARE CONDUCTED THROUGH YOUR ACCOUNT.
