9. OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES

BitFetcher undertakes to provide the Platform and the Services by applying the utmost diligence in the provision of the same and adopting, within its possibilities and the state of the art, all necessary measures to ensure the proper functioning of the same.

The Client undertakes to use the Services made available to it in good faith, without infringing the regulations in force on any matter or infringing the rights of third parties, as well as to pay for the Services and fulfil all other obligations in the time and in the way established in this Agreement.

9.1. Obligations of the Client concerning his account and access credentials:

By entering their details, the Client declares that all information provided is true, complete, accurate and up to date; in the event that BitFetcher has doubts about the veracity of the information provided by the Client, it may immediately suspend or close their User Account, at its discretion and without prior notice.

The Client is responsible for confirming receipt of the notifications and for informing BitFetcher of any amendment to their details, BitFetcher being exonerated from any liability arising from this circumstance.

Likewise, the Client must inform BitFetcher via the contact email address of any incident related to the security of the account and/or password.

The Client shall keep his personal and contact details up to date. All transactions carried out prior to the updating of personal data shall be based on the information provided up to that time. BitFetcher shall not be liable for any loss, delay, expense, or damage due to its lack of authenticity or updating.

BitFetcher shall not be liable for any damages resulting from the registered Client's misuse of its login credentials or information provided to BitFetcher.

10. CANCELLATION AND RENEWAL OF SUBSCRIPTION

The Client may cancel the Subscription Plan at any time from his User Account. However, any cancellation of the Subscription Plan will be taken into account for the next billing period. The subscription will be active for the current period, but will not be renewed again.

For example, if a monthly Subscription is renewed on 1 January and cancelled by the Client on the same day (any time after 0:00 hours on 1 January), the cancellation will be effective in February, i.e. the January Subscription Plan Fee will be charged, but not the February Subscription Plan Fee, and the Client will be able to use the paid Subscription Services until 31 January.

If the Client wishes to permanently cancel his User Account and all data, this option must be expressly requested via email at [email protected]. If the Client has a paid Subscription in force at the time of requesting the deletion of the User Account, the Client will continue to have access to the Services until the end of the current billing period, not being renewed. After this period, the User Account will be definitively deactivated, and all data will be deleted after the applicable legal retention periods have elapsed.

IN THE EVENT OF BREACH OF ANY OF THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS BY THE CLIENT, BitFetcher RESERVES THE RIGHT TO DEACTIVATE OR BLOCK THE CLIENT'S ACCOUNT OR ACCESS TO THE SERVICES, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, TEMPORARILY OR PERMANENTLY, WITHOUT COMPENSATION OR REIMBURSEMENT AND PREJUDICE TO ANY CLAIM AGAINST THE CLIENT.

11. RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL AND REFUND POLICY (APPLICABLE ONLY TO CONSUMERS)

The Client may not withdraw from contracting the Services if he/she is not a consumer, as defined in the applicable regulations.

The right of withdrawal is the right of any consumer to withdraw from an agreement within 14 calendar days from receipt of the products purchased or, in the case of services, from the contract, without having to justify their decision or bear any penalty for doing so.

The Client shall have the right to withdraw from this Agreement within 14 calendar days of entering into the contract. However, such withdrawal shall not apply if the Service has been fully performed, when performance has commenced, subject to the Client's express consent and with the acknowledgement that, once the Agreement has been fully performed, the Client will have lost its right of withdrawal.

In this sense, the Service shall be deemed to have been executed and, therefore, without the possibility of withdrawal, when the Client spends any Usage of the Subscription Plan contracted, for example, making requests for URLs, as well as using any functionality and/or payment or paid Service offered by BitFetcher through the Platform.

The exercise of the right of withdrawal is not subject to any formality, so it will be sufficient for the Client to notify BitFetcher within the period indicated above to our e-mail address ([email protected]) using the withdrawal form indicated below:
