IKiBlast requires payment of a fee for use of the Services (or certain portions thereof) and you agree to pay such fee, which we refer to as a "Subscription." By purchasing a Subscription, you agree to pay the applicable fees and charges, including any applicable taxes, which are non-refundable and non-transferable, except as expressly provided in these Terms. Payment must be made in Swiss Francs, Euro, or United States dollars.

If you purchase a monthly Subscription, you will be charged the monthly Subscription fee, plus any applicable taxes and other charges, at the beginning of your Subscription and each month thereafter, at the then-current Subscription Fee. If you purchase an annual Subscription, you will be charged the annual Subscription fee, plus any applicable taxes and other charges, at the beginning of your Subscription and each year thereafter, at the then-current Subscription Fee. Your Subscription will continue until cancelled by you or we terminate your access to or use of the Services or Subscription in accordance with these Terms.

Cancelling Your Subscription

You may cancel your Subscription at any time, but the cancellation will only take effect at the end of the current Subscription period.

To cancel your Subscription, simply go to your Customer Portal and cancel your Plan. You will be responsible for all Subscription fees, applicable taxes, and other charges incurred for the then-current Subscription period. If you cancel your Subscription, you may continue to use the Services until the end of the current Subscription period without incurring any further charges.

We may offer paid Subscriptions to certain qualifying users on a free trial basis ("Free Trial") for a specific period of time.

Free Trials are only available to users who have not previously held a paid Subscription, unless otherwise provided in the specific terms for the Free Trial offer. By agreeing to a Free Trial, you are also agreeing to sign up for a paid Subscription as described above. Unless you cancel your Subscription prior to the end of your Free Trial, we (or our third-party payment processor) will begin charging your payment method on a recurring annual basis for the applicable annual fee (plus any applicable taxes and other charges) at the end of the Free Trial until you cancel your Subscription. To avoid charges to your Payment Information, you must cancel your Subscription prior to midnight UTC on the last day of your Free Trial period.

You agree to indemnify and hold IKiBlast, its licensors, affiliates, and each of their officers, directors, employees, representatives, and agents harmless from any claims, disputes, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, and costs and expenses, including reasonable legal and accounting fees, arising from or in any way connected with
  • Your access to or use of the Services,
  • Your User Content,
  • Your violation of these Terms, or
  • Your actual or alleged infringement, misappropriation, or violation of IKiBlast's, its licensors', or any third party's intellectual property or proprietary rights.

  • This liability limitation holds true whether the claim is based on a warranty, contract, tort (including negligence), product liability, or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether IKiBlast or its licensors or service providers were informed of the possibility of such damages. Furthermore, even if the limited remedy specified in these Terms is found to have failed of its essential purpose, IKiBlast and its service providers and licensors will not be held accountable for any such damages.
  • Subject to the maximum extent permitted by the law of the applicable jurisdiction, IKiBlast's total liability arising out of the use of or inability to use the Services or these Terms will not exceed the amounts you have paid or are obligated to pay to IKiBlast for use of the Services.

  • The exclusions and limitations of damages stated above are essential aspects of the agreement between IKiBlast and you.

Governing Law and Forum Choice

These Terms and any legal action relating to them will be governed by the laws of the Swiss Confederation, regardless of its conflict of laws provisions. For any disputes that are not required to be resolved through arbitration as outlined in next Section "Dispute Resolution," both you and IKiBlast agree that the exclusive jurisdiction for such disputes will be in the courts located in Geneva, Switzerland. Additionally, you and IKiBlast waive any objections to jurisdiction and venue in these courts.

Dispute Resolution

Mandatory Arbitration of Disputes: (a) We both agree that any Disputes relating to these Terms or the use of the Services will be resolved solely by binding individual arbitration and not in a class, representative, or consolidated action or proceeding. The arbitration will be governed by Swiss law, and you and IKiBlast waive the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. This dispute resolution provision will continue to apply even after the termination of these Terms. (b) There are limited exceptions to above paragraph: (i) we may seek to resolve a Dispute in small claims court if it meets the criteria, and (ii) we each retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief from a court to prevent or enjoin the infringement or misappropriation of our intellectual property rights. (c) The payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by Swiss law. If we prevail in court, we will pay all our attorneys' fees and costs and seek to recover them from you. (d) Injunctive and Declaratory Relief. The court will decide all issues of liability in any claim brought by either party, and may award injunctive or declaratory relief only to the party seeking such relief and only to the extent necessary to address their individual claim. However, if either party prevails on a claim and seeks injunctive relief that is intended to prevent future harm to the public, such relief must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction rather than through arbitration. The parties agree to stay any litigation of public injunctive relief until the outcome of individual claims in court is determined. This provision is subject to the exception set forth in second paragraph (limited exceptions) of this section. (e) Class Action Waiver. Both you and IKiBlast agree to only bring claims against each other as individuals, and not as part of any class or representative proceeding. (f) Severability. If any part of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable by an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction, the other parts of these Terms will remain in effect, except for the provisions expressed in these terms of use.

General Terms

Reservation of Rights: (a) IKiBlast and its licensors hold complete ownership of the Services and their associated intellectual property rights. However, IKiBlast's licensors may have exclusive ownership of Generated Content. You acknowledge that the Services are protected by the copyright, trademark, and other laws of the Swiss Confederation and foreign countries. It is strictly prohibited to remove, alter or obscure any copyright, trademark, service mark or other proprietary rights notices that are integrated into or accompany the Services. IKiBlast claims no ownership of Generated Content. (b) Entire Agreement. These Terms represent the complete and exclusive agreement between you and IKiBlast regarding the Services, and they replace any previous oral or written agreements or understandings between you and IKiBlast on the same subject. In case any provision of these Terms is deemed invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator, the provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law, and the other provisions of these Terms will remain valid and enforceable. You cannot transfer or assign these Terms without the prior written consent of IKiBlast. Any attempt to do so without their consent will be deemed null and void. However, IKiBlast can freely transfer or assign these Terms without restrictions. These Terms will be binding upon and benefit both parties, their permitted successors and assigns, subject to the provisions set forth above. (c) Notices. IKiBlast may provide any notices or communications related to these Terms via email or by posting them to the Services. In the case of notices sent by email, the date of receipt will be considered the date on which the notice is transmitted. (d) Waiver of Rights. Any failure by IKiBlast to enforce a right or provision in these Terms will not constitute a waiver of that right or provision. A waiver of any such right or provision will only be effective if it is in writing and signed by an authorized representative of IKiBlast. Unless explicitly stated in these Terms, the exercise of any remedy by either party will not prejudice their other remedies under these Terms or in any other way.
