6. Our Services

Koble is a cloud-based platform for providing insights on early stage startups, including but not limited to founders and team, markets, products, and traction. Koble can also assist users in finding startup profiles through access to information regarding startup professionals and companies (the “Data”) retained in Koble’s B2B database (the “Database”), accessible on a Software as a Service basis.

7. Software as a Service

Subject to these Terms, Koble grants to Licensee a non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, non-transferable, and limited right throughout the applicable subscription period, to use and access the Services solely for Licensee’s internal business use and for Licensee’s own operations to such number of End Users and limited to such number of credits by which the Licensee can receive Data through the use of the Services, all as specified in the applicable Subscription Agreement (conditions upon which we grant a Subscription to you). “End User” means a single individual user who has registered to the Solution through access provided by the administrator of Licensee. Any individual who uses the Solution under the Agreement must be provisioned as an End User. The Licensee is solely responsible for the access to the Solution granted to End Users and it is the Licensee’s sole responsibility to add or remove access rights of End Users. Licensee may continue to use the Data after the termination of the Agreement subject to the restrictions set forth below.

8. About Creating an Account

You can browse Koble without registering for an account. But to use some of Koble’s functions, you’ll need to register, choose a username, and set a password. When you do that, the information you give us has to be accurate and complete. Don’t impersonate anyone else or choose names that are offensive or that violate anyone’s rights. If you don’t follow these rules, we may cancel your account.

You’re responsible for all the activity on your account, and for keeping your password confidential. You also agree to inform us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account. If you find out that someone used your account without your permission, you should report it to hello@koble.ai.

To sign up for an account, you need to be at least 18 years old, or old enough to form a binding contract where you live. If necessary, we may ask you for proof of age.

Once you create an account, you will automatically join our mailing list. You can choose to remove your email address from that mailing list by choosing the “unsubscribe” link at the bottom of any email communication we send to you. We may cancel your access to the Services and terminate your account, at our sole consideration, at any time and for any reason, with or without notice to you. Upon any termination, discontinuation or cancellation of Services or your account, all provisions of these Terms which by their nature should survive will survive, including, without limitation, licenses and ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnity, and dispute resolution provisions.

9. Support Services

Koble will provide reasonable support for the Services. Koble created different tools to help users address frequently asked questions and additional technical and general support issues. In addition, Koble tests frequent updates, maintenance, error shooting, and additional means in order to improve the Services. However, Koble does not undertake to keep operating any of the above and reserves the right to change, reduce, limit or terminate its maintenance and support efforts.

10. Our Pricing and Fees

The use of certain Koble Services may be subject to payment of particular fees (“Fee(s)”), as determined by Koble in its sole discretion (“Paid Services”).

Our latest pricing information can be found on our website. If our prices ever change we’ll announce that on our Site.

You’re responsible for paying any additional fees or taxes associated with your use of Koble.

Our plans are offered on a subscription-based service. When you submitted an order confirmation and made the first payment for a plan, you entered into a subscription agreement with Koble for an unlimited period of time, with a starting date which will depend on your current account status.

Where your plan includes a maximum number of monthly downloads or credits, we do not provide for the accumulation of this, which means that if you had not made use of the maximum possible downloads or credits in a month, the remainder does not add up to the maximum allowable downloads in the following month.

Koble reserves the right to make price adjustments for the usage of the Services. These price changes may be announced within one calendar month prior to their implementation.

11. Subscription Auto-Renewals and Cancellations

In order to ensure that you do not experience any interruption or loss of Paid Services, subscriptions renew on a periodic and recurring basis, depending on the Subscription Agreement you have entered into (each period is called a ‘billing cycle’). The service is billed to you in advance, 24 hours before your next billing cycle commences. For example, if you started your monthly subscription plan on January 20th, your next billing cycle starts on February 20th and you will be billed 24 hours earlier, namely on February 19th. Your plan subscription will automatically renew, as described above, at the end of each billing cycle, unless and until you cancel its auto-renewal through your account management page or by contacting our customer support team.

You may turn off the auto-renewal option by contacting our customer support team.

You may cancel your Paid Services subscription at any time and at the latest within 24 hours before your ongoing billing cycle ends, in which case you will retain access to functionalities until your ongoing billing cycle ends.

The request for cancellation of your Paid Services will be immediately accounted for by Koble and you will receive a confirmation email from us within 24 business hours.

12. Payment terms

All prices indicated on our Site are exclusive of the applicable VAT rates. The VAT rate applicable to a particular transaction will depend on your billing information.

Payments for Services take place prior to the access to such services.

The processing and facilitation of all payments for Services are handled on behalf of Koble by an online payment service provider.

You can request invoices for all your subscription payments by contacting our customer support team.

If for any reason subscription payment is unsuccessful, Koble retains the right to terminate your subscription, taking into consideration all facts and circumstances. If your subscription is terminated by Koble due to an unsuccessful subscription payment, the termination will be communicated to you per email.

13. Refund policy

In the eventuality of disservice or dissatisfaction of the Services, you are entitled to request a refund for your purchase within ten (10) days after having completed the same, by following the procedure described below. A refund will apply unless Koble detects any abusive or malicious activity on your account or deems your request of refund illegitimate. Should you request a refund 10 or more days after your first subscription purchase, the refundability of your subscription payment depends on the sections below.

Given the nature of the services that Koble offers, Koble’s general policy is to not offer refunds for your purchase ten (10) or more days after the date of such purchase, or as required under UK consumer protection laws.

In order to request a refund, you need to contact our customer support team. Your request will be processed and within 48 hours you will receive feedback on the approval (or rejection) of your request.

Koble will assess each refund request taking into consideration the usage that was made of the services, the problems that you may have encountered, your overall reasoning behind making the request and the completeness of the information you have provided in the Koble refund request.

If your refund request is approved, the refund will generally be done using the same payment method that you used to make the payment in question.
