Last updated: November 16, 2017

Please read these Terms and Conditions ("Terms", "Terms and Conditions") carefully before using the https://www.shinybot.com website (the "Service") operated by Shinybot ("us", "we", or "our").

Your access to and use of the Service is conditioned upon your acceptance of and compliance with these Terms. These Terms apply to all visitors, users and others who wish to access or use the Service.

By accessing or using the Service you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you disagree with any part of the terms then you do not have permission to access the Service.

Website Design

We will customize a template that we feel is best suited for your needs based on your feedback. You will be able to review for final approval. Shinybot owns these designs and you may not use them for any other purpose other than for review and feedback.
We test your website to make sure it performs well on all modern devices and browsers before completion. Make no guarantee it will perform well on outdated devices.

Text and other content

You are responsible to provide all text, images and other content for your website. You are also responsible to make sure you have the rights to anything you wish to have us use. You agree to fully indemnify us against any claims or damages in relation to the content used on your site.

Web hosting

We include hosting but do not allow any access to our servers. This means via FTP or any other method. Any changes to your site must be made by Shinybot.

Domain Names

Some accounts may include domain name registration. The maximum value of the of the included domain cannot exceed $25 per year. The included domain must be the domain that is associated with the purchased website subscription.  If you already have a domain you want to use, we do not transfer the domain. You don't receive any discount or credit off your monthly bill for already having your own domain name. We do require temporary access to your registrar in order to make changes to point the domain to our servers.

Tech Support

Things go wrong. Hard drives crash and stuff goes down. Even though our hosting service provides an excellent 99% up time record there is always a possibility it can go down. We make no guarantee your site will always be live. But if it does go down we will work hard to get it back asap.

Purchases

If you wish to purchase any product or service made available through the Service ("Purchase"), you may be asked to supply certain information relevant to your Purchase including, without limitation, your credit card number, the expiration date of your credit card, your billing address, and your shipping information.

You represent and warrant that: (i) you have the legal right to use any credit card(s) or other payment method(s) in connection with any Purchase; and that (ii) the information you supply to us is true, correct and complete.

The service may employ the use of third-party services for the purpose of facilitating payment and the completion of Purchases. By submitting your information, you grant us the right to provide the information to these third parties subject to our Privacy Policy.

We reserve the right to refuse or cancel your order at any time for reasons including but not limited to: product or service availability, errors in the description or price of the product or service, error in your order or other reasons.

We reserve the right to refuse or cancel your order if fraud or an unauthorized or illegal transaction is suspected.

Availability, Errors, and Inaccuracies

We are constantly updating product and service offerings on the Service. We may experience delays in updating information on the Service and in our advertising on other websites. The information found on the Service may contain errors or inaccuracies and may not be complete or current. Products or services may be mispriced, described inaccurately, or unavailable on the Service and we cannot guarantee the accuracy or completeness of any information found on the Service.

Contests, Sweepstakes, and Promotions

Any contests, sweepstakes or other promotions (collectively, "Promotions") made available through the Service may be governed by rules that are separate from these Terms & Conditions. If you participate in any Promotions, please review the applicable rules as well as our Privacy Policy. If the rules for a Promotion conflict with these Terms and Conditions, the Promotion rules will apply.

Subscriptions

Some parts of the Service are billed on a subscription basis ("Subscription(s)"). You will be billed in advance on a recurring and periodic basis ("Billing Cycle"). Billing cycles are set either on a monthly or annual basis, depending on the type of subscription plan you select when purchasing a Subscription.

At the end of each Billing Cycle, your Subscription will automatically renew under the exact same conditions unless you cancel it or Shinybot cancels it. You may cancel your Subscription renewal either through your online account management page if available or by contacting Shinybot customer support team.

A valid payment method, including credit card, is required to process the payment for your Subscription. You shall provide Shinybot with accurate and complete billing information including full name, address, state, zip code, telephone number, and a valid payment method information. By submitting such payment information, you automatically authorize Shinybot to charge all Subscription fees incurred through your account to any such payment instruments.

If we can’t charge the card on file for your website subscription renewal, your site will be become “past due.” We’ll send an email asking you to take action to fix it. We'll try processing the payment again for 15 days after the payment was due.  After 15 days, your site will go from past due to expired and your website will be deactivated. You will have another 15 days to reactivate your account but will be subject to a $50 reactivation fee to reactivate. Once your account is past due more than 30 days account will be permanently closed. You will have to resubscribe to a new plan at whatever the current rates are and will lose any and all discounts associated with previous plan.

All articles in our Help Docs are also part of the Terms of Service.

Free Trial

Shinybot may, at its sole discretion, offer a Subscription with a free trial for a limited period of time ("Free Trial").

You may be required to enter your billing information in order to sign up for the Free Trial.

If you do enter your billing information when signing up for the Free Trial, you will not be charged by Shinybot until the Free Trial has expired. On the last day of the Free Trial period, unless you canceled your Subscription, you will be automatically charged the applicable Subscription fees for the type of Subscription you have selected.

At any time and without notice, Shinybot reserves the right to (i) modify the terms and conditions of the Free Trial offer, or (ii) cancel such Free Trial offer.

Fee Changes

Shinybot, in its sole discretion and at any time, may modify the Subscription fees for the Subscriptions. Any Subscription fee change will become effective at the end of the then-current Billing Cycle.

Shinybot will provide you with a reasonable prior notice of any change in Subscription fees to give you an opportunity to terminate your Subscription before such change becomes effective.

Your continued use of the Service after the Subscription fee change comes into effect constitutes your agreement to pay the modified Subscription fee amount.
