• Payments and pricing

  27. Tresorit offers You both free and paid Services. If you choose to subscribe to a paid Service directly through the subscription flow of Tresorit, your account must be bound with one or multiple plan(s) ("User Plan(s)") and you agree to pay the fees ("Fees") in accordance with the relevant User Plan(s).
  28. These Terms apply whether you purchase our Service directly from Tresorit or through a Reseller of Tresorit. If you purchase through a Reseller, then the scope of the Services and the specifics of your payment obligations shall be stated in your agreement with the Reseller. In such case, You owe payment to the Reseller as agreed between you and the Reseller, but you acknowledge that we may suspend or terminate your rights to use the Services if we do not receive our corresponding payment from the Reseller. If you subscribe to the Service directly through the subscription flow of Tresorit, then the following provisions shall apply:
      1. The subscription is the billing unit ("Subscription(s)"), which means if You have multiple Subscriptions, You will receive multiple invoices. Each Subscription has its own billing period, and can be monthly or yearly paid.
      2. A Subscription is Your order, and can contain multiple User Plans in one Subscription. You can bind a User Plan to yourself, or to another user, for example to Your colleague, but only to one user. If You bind a User Plan to someone else, You are responsible for the usage of this User Plan by this person. If You accept a User Plan as beneficiary from another user, take note and accept that you are dependent from this person and take the risk that Tresorit may suspend the Service for reasons caused by this person.
      3. Each User Plan has characteristics ("Feature Quota(s)") included in the User Plan. A Feature Quota can be for example the storage quota, the maximum network bandwidth speed You can use our Service, etc.
      4. If You are bound to multiple User Plans, we aggregate each User Plan if possible the following way ("Aggregated Feature Quota"): the storage quota included in each User Plan are summed up, and we provide You the Feature Quota, which we think, in our sole discretion, is the most beneficiary for You among the Feature Quotas included in any User Plan bound to You.
      5. If Your account is transformed to a Business account, all your previous Subscriptions and User Plans under this account, other than one Business subscription You are transforming to, may be immediately cancelled and removed. Other accounts associated with non-Business domains will remain independent from this transformation.
  29. After You have successfully created a Subscription, and You have bound yourself or another user to User Plan(s), we use reasonable commercial efforts to credit Your new Feature Quota as soon as possible, but in six hours after Your purchase. You agree that Your displayed available storage or other quota may not be current or accurate at any time, but Tresorit uses reasonable efforts to improve the accuracy and actuality.
  30. Tresorit may provide You the Service for free of charge, providing a basic Feature Quota. You may also gain additional free service through Tresorit's referral program or other promotion, as described in the promotions. Tresorit may also provide You a free trial period for a Business or other premium service Subscription, which may require preauthorization credit card charge. If the trial period ends, Tresorit may automatically convert your Subscription to a paying subscription and automatically charge You the Subscription fee, or Tresorit may decrease your Feature Quota to the basic free Feature Quota. You agree that if you started a trial for a Business subscription, Tresorit will not decrease your Feature Quota to the basic free Feature Quota if you decide not to continue with any paying Business Subscription and Tresorit will follow its normal procedure of Suspension and Termination. We reserve the right to, in our sole discretion, discontinue or modify any promotions, credits or other free offers anytime.
  31. Payment of the Subscription fee will be by preauthorized credit card charge, and we will automatically charge Your credit card or other agreed payment options monthly or yearly, for each month, partial month or year, depending upon which billing period You have selected for the Subscription. You agree that Your Subscription is automatically renewed for the same period at the end of the billing period ("Renewal date") unless You state otherwise one (1) day before the Renewal date.
  32. We will automatically bill Your credit card or other agreed payment options each month or each year on the calendar day when You created Your Subscription. If Your Subscription has started on a calendar day not contained in a given month or year, Tresorit will bill Your credit card on the last day of such month or year.
  33. If any fee of a Subscription is not paid in a timely manner, or Tresorit was not able to charge Your credit card with the payable fees, Tresorit has the right to suspend Your entire Subscription and revoke each Feature Quota included any User Plan from You or any user You have bound to. This means, we will decrease Your Aggregated Feature Quota to the aggregation of Your remaining User Plans.
  34. You agree and authorize Tresorit to periodically authorize Your credit card in anticipation of account or related charges.
  35. You must be authorized to use the credit card of which number You have entered.
  36. You understand that if You do not provide Tresorit with a current valid credit card number with sufficient credit upon request during the effective period of this Agreement, You will be in violation of these Terms.
  37. Your Subscription may include a time commitment (Committed Period; e.g. one year commitment with monthly payment). If you cancel, terminate or rescind a Subscription or terminate the Agreement during the Committed Period, we are entitled to charge you for the remaining Committed Period according to Your Subscription.
  38. Tresorit reserves the right to change prices of Your Subscription. If there is a specific length and price offered to You, or You have a Committed Period, price will remain the same for that time. Tresorit will provide at least 30 days advance notice to You about the change of the price.
