These Terms tell you who we are, how we will provide the Services to you, how you and we may change or end the Contract (as defined below), what to do if there is a problem and other important information. You should also read our Terms of Use, Privacy Policy, and Cookie Policy, all of which we refer to in these Terms and shall apply to you.

1. OUR CONTRACT WITH YOU

1.1 On our website (Gifglide.com) and related applications (together the “Applications”), we set out information and details relating to:

• (a) Various online video (MP4, MOV, AVI) to GIF conversion services, including premium features such as priority processing, email notification after conversion is finished, and a user dashboard to check conversion history (together the “Services”); and
• (b) The fees payable for the Services which are dependent on your choice of plan (monthly or yearly subscription) among the different options available to you (“Subscription Fee”).

1.2 Your subscription: When you register for an account and subscribe to our premium Services, you are agreeing to these Terms of Sale. The Services available to you and Subscription Fee applicable to your subscription are set out on the Applications.

1.3 How we will accept your subscription: Our acceptance of your subscription will take place when you have provided valid payment details to our third-party payment processor (Lemon Squeezy), your payment is successfully processed, and we indicate acceptance (e.g., by granting access to premium features). At this point, a contract will come into existence between you and us in respect of the Services you have purchased ("Contract").

1.4 If we cannot accept your subscription: If we are unable to accept your subscription (e.g., payment failure, suspected fraud), we will inform you of this and will not charge you or will refund any charge if already made. This might be because of unexpected limits on our resources, an error in the Subscription Fee or description, or other reasons.

2. YOUR RIGHTS TO MAKE CHANGES TO YOUR SUBSCRIPTION

Once a subscription period (monthly or yearly) has started, you generally cannot make changes to that specific subscription (e.g., downgrade mid-term for a partial refund). You can manage your subscription, including cancellation of auto-renewal, through the Lemon Squeezy platform or by contacting us for assistance with accessing Lemon Squeezy's management portal.

3. WE MAY MAKE CHANGES TO OR SUSPEND OR WITHDRAW THE SERVICES

3.1 Suspension of the supply of Services: We may suspend the supply of Services temporarily for reasons including technical maintenance, updates, if we have not received a due payment, if you breach these Terms, or for unforeseen reasons. We aim to provide notice where practicable.

3.2 Withdrawing the Services and/or terminating the Contract: We may withdraw the Services or terminate the Contract under certain conditions, including non-payment, breach of terms, or if we decide to cease offering the Services. If we cease offering the Services generally, we will aim to give reasonable notice and may offer a pro-rata refund for any pre-paid, unused portion of your subscription.

4. OUR RIGHTS TO TERMINATE THE CONTRACT OR SUSPEND THE SERVICES

4.1 When we have not received your payment: If we do not receive your payment via Lemon Squeezy by the due date, we reserve the right to suspend your access to premium Services until payment is received and/or terminate the Contract.

5. SUBSCRIPTION FEES, PAYMENT AND RENEWALS

5.1 The types of subscriptions: We offer monthly and yearly subscriptions to our premium Services. Free services, if any, are governed by the main Terms of Use.

5.2 Where to find the Subscription Fee: The Subscription Fee (which includes applicable taxes like VAT if specified) will be the price indicated on the Applications when you make your subscription. Payments are processed by Lemon Squeezy.

5.3 What happens if the Subscription Fee was conveyed incorrectly: If the correct price is higher than stated, we may contact you for instructions or cancel your subscription and refund you. If a pricing error is obvious and could reasonably have been recognized by you as a mispricing, we may end the Contract and refund you.

5.4 When you must pay and how you must pay: You must pay the Subscription Fee in advance for the chosen period (monthly or annually) through Lemon Squeezy, using the payment methods they support.

5.5 Automatic renewals: Your subscription will automatically renew at the end of each subscription period (monthly or yearly) for a further equivalent period, at the then-current, non-promotional Subscription Fee, unless you cancel it before the renewal date via the Lemon Squeezy platform. We will endeavor to notify you in advance of any price changes affecting your renewal.

6. CHANGES TO A SUBSCRIPTION

6.1 Changes in price: Subscription Fees may change. The price for your current subscription period will remain in effect. Any price changes will apply to subsequent renewal periods. We will give you reasonable notice of any price changes. If you do not agree to the new price, you must cancel your subscription before the renewal date.

6.2 Changes to the Services: We may change the features and functionality of the Services. If we make a material detrimental change to the premium Services you have paid for, we will notify you, and you may be able to cancel and receive a pro-rata refund for any unused portion of your subscription.

7. CANCELLATION AND REFUND POLICY

7.1 How you can cancel your subscription: You may cancel your subscription at any time by managing your subscription through the Lemon Squeezy platform. You can usually find a link to manage your subscription in the emails you receive from Lemon Squeezy or by contacting our support at info@gifglide.com for assistance in locating the Lemon Squeezy portal. Cancellation will prevent future automatic renewals.

7.2 Effect of Cancellation: Upon cancellation, your subscription will remain active until the end of your current paid billing period (month or year). You will not be charged for subsequent periods. Access to premium features will cease at the end of the current paid billing period.

7.3 No Refund Policy: Generally, all Subscription Fees are non-refundable. We do not provide refunds or credits for any partial subscription periods or unused Services. Once a payment for a subscription period is made, it is final.

7.4 Exception for Consumers (e.g., EU/UK Right of Withdrawal): If you are a consumer residing in the European Union or the United Kingdom, you may have a statutory right to withdraw from the Contract within 14 days from the date the Contract was concluded (i.e., when your subscription started) without giving any reason. However, you acknowledge and agree that if you start using the premium Services (e.g., by performing a conversion with premium features, accessing your dashboard, or benefiting from priority processing) within this 14-day period, you lose your right of withdrawal, and no refund will be provided. To exercise the right of withdrawal before using the Services, you must inform us of your decision to withdraw by an unequivocal statement (e.g., an email to info@gifglide.com) within the 14-day period. If you validly withdraw before using the Services, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you for that subscription without undue delay.

8. ACCEPTABLE USE

Your use of the Services must comply with our main Terms of Use, particularly the sections regarding uploading content and prohibited activities. Failure to comply may result in suspension or termination of your Services without refund.

9. PROPRIETARY RIGHTS

We and/or our licensors own all intellectual property rights in the Applications and the Services. Your subscription grants you a license to use the Services as per these Terms and our Terms of Use, not a transfer of ownership.

10. WE MAY END YOUR RIGHTS TO USE THE SERVICES AND/OR TERMINATE THE CONTRACT IF YOU BREACH THESE TERMS

10.1 We may terminate your access to the Services and the Contract immediately if you breach these Terms or our Terms of Use. 10.2 If we end your rights:

• (a) You must stop all use of the Services.
• (b) We may disable your access to premium features.
• (c) No refund will be available for any fees paid.
• (d) All sums due to us shall become immediately payable.

11. OUR RESPONSIBILITY FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE SUFFERED BY YOU

Our liability is governed by the "Limitation of Liability" section in our main Terms of Use. Specifically for paid Services, except where unlawful to do so, our total liability to you under or in connection with the Contract, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty, or otherwise, shall be limited to the total Subscription Fees paid by you for the Services in the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

12. HOW WE MAY USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

We will only use your personal information as set out in our Privacy Policy and our Cookie Policy.

13. GENERAL TERMS

13.4 Nobody else has any rights under these Terms.

13.5 If a court finds any part of these Terms unlawful, the rest will continue in force.
