FLEEP FOR BUSINESS

Fleep for Business is a messenger service subscription that enables companies and organizations (“Organizations”) to use additional Service  functionalities, such as extended file storage space, administrative control over accounts and conversations against payment of a fee.

Premium Accounts

Under Fleep for Business the Organization administrators can invite existing Fleep accounts or create new user accounts which are exclusively owned and controlled by the Organization („Premium Accounts“).

Once an existing or new account is added to the Organization’s Fleep for Business, the Organization will obtain ownership and control of the account. The Organization administrators will obtain the following rights in regard of the user accounts:

The above rights are granted for enabling Organization sufficient control over the communication related to its business. The organization undertakes not to use its control rights granted in Fleep for Business to access, publish or exploit any personal communication of the users. All the administrative actions are transparent to the affected users.

The Organization shall be jointly and severally liable with the factual user for any breach of these Terms carried out via the user account which has been added to Fleep for Business.

Upon transferring the account back to the user, the Organization shall cease to have any access rights to or control over the account. At any time prior to transferring the user account back to the user, the Organization has the right to restrict user access to any Premium Conversations and the history of such conversations.

Premium Conversations

Under Fleep for Business the Premium Accounts can convert existing Fleep conversations or create new conversations which are exclusively owned and controlled by the Organization („Premium Conversations“).

Among else, this entitles the Organization administrators to (i) determine access rights of users to Premium Conversations, (ii) access and/or delete any messages posted in the Premium Conversations, (iii) remove users from Premium Conversation, (iv) grant users administrative control within a Premium Conversation. Organization administrators can access Premium conversations content only by being a member of the conversation or adding themselves to the conversation.

Subscription Conditions of Fleep for Business

Fleep may provide a free trial of the Fleep for Business, which does not incur any monetary obligations. After the free trial the Organization has full discretion to choose whether to subscribe for the Fleep for Business.

The fee for Fleep for Business is disclosed on the Service or agreed separately, depending on the package subscribed for. Fleep for Business subscription fee will be charged in advance either monthly or annually until the cancellation of the subscription plan. Discounts or other special payments and charging conditions may be applied.

Payments can be made with credit card as instructed on the Service. Fleep may add additional payment means in the future. Credit card payments shall be automatically deducted on the due date of each subscription period, as disclosed in the user settings.

If, for any reason, a credit card payment for the upcoming subscription period does not go through or, in case of other means of payment, the subscription fee due is not paid, Fleep may terminate the access to Fleep for Business, until the appropriate payment has been made.

The subscription shall remain in force until cancelled either by the Organization or Fleep. The Organization may cancel the subscription at any time via the Service. The cancellation will take effect upon expiration of the period for which the payment has already been made. For avoidance of confusion, Fleep shall not be obliged to refund any fees in regard of the subscription periods for which the payment has already been made.

Fleep may cancel Organization’s subscription and access to the Fleep for Business at any time by giving a 30 days prior notice. In such case Fleep shall refund to the Organization the subscription fee for the unused period. No prior notice is necessary and the Organization shall not have the right to any refund if Fleep cancels Organization’s subscription and access to Fleep for Business due to its breach of these Terms.

THIRD PARTY WEBSITES

Our Service may include hyperlinks to other websites owned and operated by third parties. These links are not recommendations. We have no control over the contents of third party websites, and we accept no responsibility for them or for any loss or damage that may arise from your use of them.

SEVERABILITY

If any of the provisions of the Terms proves to be void or voidable, or is or becomes invalid in full or in part for any other reason, the remaining provisions of the Terms will continue to apply in full. We will replace the invalid stipulation by a stipulation that is valid and whose legal consequences, in view of the substance and purpose of the Terms, correspond as much as possible to those of the invalid stipulation.

NO WAIVER

Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

CHANGES

We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to make changes to the Terms at any time. If a revision is material we will provide at least 30 day’s notice on the Service or via e-mail prior to any new terms taking effect. By using our Service after those revisions become effective, you agree to be bound by the revised Terms.
