As part of your enjoyment of the Services, subject to these Terms, you may grant a third party access to your account to provide additional products, services or labor provided you agree to be responsible for the actions of the third party and to bind the third party to these Terms as your agent.

From time to time, separate applications or services that integrate or interoperate with the Voco Services (collectively, “Add-ons”) may become available, either directly from Voco or independently. If you choose to install, access or enable an Add-on, you agree that the third-party Add-on provider may acquire access to your account data and information as required for the interoperation or integration of such Add-on and you grant Voco permission to give such Add-on access to your account data and information. Accordingly, such applications are governed by their own terms and conditions and are not considered Services under these Terms.

Privacy Policy

We take your privacy seriously. You can view our full explanation of how we handle your privacy on our dedicated privacy policy page (the “Privacy Policy”).

100% Service Guarantee

We will respond to your support inquiries within one business day and we will ensure the Services have no unexpected downtime. If you do not believe we met this service level on any day during the period of your paid subscription, notify us by emailing [email protected] within 30 days of the issue and we will credit your subscription back for that day.

Cancellation

You are solely responsible for properly cancelling your paid subscription. An email, phone, chat, or written request to cancel your paid subscription is not considered cancellation. You may cancel your paid subscription at any time by clicking on the “billing” link on the dashboard when logged in. The billing page provides a link to cancel your account. The cancellation of your paid subscription will occur at the end of your current paid up period. Upon cancellation or otherwise, you may request that your data be destroyed. The destruction of your data will follow the the terms of our Privacy Policy.

Termination

Voco may terminate your account without notice in the event that you breach any of these Terms. Your cancellation will take effect immediately and you will not be charged again. In the event of any termination, Voco will not refund any of the prepaid Fees. Such termination of the Services will result in the deactivation or deletion of your account or your access to your account, and the forfeiture and relinquishment of all content in your account. Voco reserves the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason at any time.

Refunds

Voco is not obligated to provide refunds or credits for partial months or years of the Services, upgrades or downgrades, or unused time during your subscription. If Voco materially breaches these Terms and fails to cure this breach within thirty (30) days of receiving written notice from you of such breach, Voco will refund the proportion of the pre-paid fees attributable to the period after the breach. If you terminate your account in the event of a suspension for more than 5 business days or discontinuance of the Services, you will be entitled to a refund of the proportion of pre-paid fees attributable to the period after termination.

You expressly understand and agree that:

Voco warrants that your data will be treated in accordance with its Privacy Policy and protected pursuant to Voco’s participation in Privacy Shield, as described in the Privacy Policy. Except as expressly warranted in the terms, all Services are provided “as is” and Voco hereby disclaims all warranties and conditions with regard to the Services, whether express, implied or statutory, including all warranties and conditions of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title and non-infringement.

Other than as expressly set in these Terms, Voco makes no warranty that (i) the Services will meet your requirements or expectations, (ii) that your access to or use of the Services will be uninterrupted, timely, secure or error free, (iii) that any defects in the Services will be corrected, or (iv) that the Services or any server through which you access the Services are free of viruses or other harmful components.

In no event shall Voco or its respective suppliers’ aggregate liability for direct damages under this agreement exceed the fees paid for the immediately preceding month before the claim. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages. Accordingly, some of the above limitations may not apply to you.

Please note that downgrading your account may result in the loss of content, features, or capacity of your account. Voco does not accept any liability for any such losses.

Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Voco, its officers, directors, employees, and agents, harmless for any losses, costs, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) relating to or arising out of your connection to or use of the Services, including but not limited to any breach by you of these Terms, any claims arising from the content you submit, post, transmit or make available through the Services, and any misuse of the Services or claims against Voco by an End User.

Although we ensure that our Partners receiving your information are bound by privacy restrictions at least as restrictive as those set forth in this policy, Voco is not responsible for any issues that may arise regarding the privacy policies of any of its affiliates, Partners, or advertisers. By using the Services, you do hereby agree to hold Voco harmless from any claims and/or damages that may arise from the actions of any of its affiliates and/or advertisers.
