    • 11.2 All payments to CloudCart are made in euros (EUR), automatically, through the Merchant's payment card, with the amounts due for the selected Services being prepaid at 100%. If the Merchant cancels the Services before the expiration of the period for which they are paid, the paid amount will not be subject to refund by CloudCart.
    • 11.3 The Merchant has the right to a 30-day free trial period, starting from the date of registration of his Account, during which he can test the CloudCart® platform and create an Online store/Website. Within the free trial period, the Merchant must choose and pay for a subscription plan. Otherwise, the access to his Account is suspended. If the Merchant does not choose and pay for a subscription plan within 3 (three) months after the expiration of the free trial period, CloudCart has the right to delete his information from the CloudCart® platform.
    • 11.4 The subscription period starts running from the moment the Online store/Website becomes public, i.e., from pressing the button "Start accepting orders from clients". With the expiration of 30 (thirty) days from the moment of payment of the selected subscription plan, the subscription period starts running, even if the Merchant has not made the Online store/Website public.
    • 11.5 Subscription plans and other Services are automatically renewed after the end of the respective period for which they are paid, for a period equal to the time of the previous subscription period, with a 7-day notice of the upcoming automatic payment sent to the Merchant's email. If the Merchant does not explicitly cancel the subscription renewal before the expiration of its period, it will be considered that the Merchant wishes to continue using the platform, and the respective amount will be automatically debited from his payment card.
    • 11.6 The Merchant's turnover, according to which the applicable subscription plan is determined, is calculated monthly based on the previous 6 months. If, within the prepaid subscription period, the Merchant's turnover for the previous 6 months exceeds the 6-month turnover threshold according to which his current subscription plan is determined, the Merchant automatically switches to the subscription plan for the corresponding higher turnover for the remainder of the current subscription plan period, from the following month after reaching the threshold. In such case, the Merchant pays the price for the new subscription plan, reduced by the amount of the current subscription plan, calculated proportionally to the remaining term.
    • 11.7 The Merchant agrees and authorizes CloudCart to automatically collect the payments due from the Merchant through the payment card associated with his Account. Automatic payment applies to the renewal of Services (subscription plans, packages, Applications, Features). If the automatic payment cannot be performed for any reason and the due amounts are not paid by the Merchant on the due date, CloudCart has the right to suspend the Merchant's access to the Administrative panel. If the due payment is not made within 30 (thirty) days from the occurrence of the liability, CloudCart has the right to terminate the provision of Services.
    • 11.8 For avoidance of any doubt, the parties agree that a one-time authorization from the Merchant is necessary and sufficient for the execution of automatic payments under item 11.7. CloudCart is considered authorized to perform automatic payments for each subsequent subscription plan, package, Application, Feature, or Additional service based on the initial authorization, and it is valid until its cancellation with the "CANCEL" button available in the Merchant's Administrative panel.
    • 11.9 When a payment for a specific Service is required, the Merchant may authorize CloudCart by email or phone to perform the respective payment on his behalf. All phone calls are recorded by CloudCart, and the Merchant declares and agrees that the recordings will serve as evidence for the performed authorizations. The Merchant also declares and agrees that the email address specified in his Account is under his control and all expressions of will from that email, including payment confirmations, are made by the Merchant. In case of a hacking attack or any illegal seizure of the Merchant's access to his email or unauthorized access to the Merchant's email or payment card, the Merchant must immediately notify CloudCart. Transactions made until the notification are considered valid and performed by the Merchant.
    • 11.10 CloudCart confirms the receipt of the payment by activating the Services. CloudCart bears no liability if the Merchant has not provided a valid email address or did not receive the invoice for any other reason for which CloudCart is not responsible. We advise you to always check all folders in your email inbox, including the SPAM folder.
    • 11.11 CloudCart will store the information contained in or related to the Online Store/Website or other Service for a period of 30 (thirty) days from the date of expiration of the period for which the last payment for the Service was made. If no payment is made within the 30-day period to restore the Service, CloudCart will delete the information, except to the extent necessary for the fulfillment of CloudCart's statutory or contractual obligations or if the Merchant has paid for an archiving and storage service for the Online Store/Website. In such case, CloudCart bears no liability towards the Merchant for the loss of information, damage to his business reputation, or any other damages.
    • 11.12 When making a payment to CloudCart, additional fees may be charged by the respective payment service provider (e.g., the bank, the payment card issuer). For avoidance of any doubt, payment to CloudCart is considered made upon the crediting of its payment account with the full amount due, and any additional fees are owed separately to the respective provider.
    • 11.13 CloudCart does not owe a refund of paid amounts in case the Merchant cancels the paid subscription plan, package, Application, Feature, or Additional service, or does not use them, as well as in case he has not canceled the automatic renewal of the subscription within the terms specified in these General Terms.
    • 11.14 CloudCart reserves the right to change its prices at any time, indicating the new prices in the corresponding section of its website (https://cloudcart.com/bg/pricing). The changes cannot affect already prepaid subscription plans, packages, Applications, Features, and Additional services, but they apply automatically for the next subscription period and for Services that the Merchant wishes to add to his subscription plan after the change of prices.
    • 11.15 CloudCart issues an invoice for the due payments according to the data provided by the Merchant in the Administrative Panel of the respective online store on the CloudCart® platform, section Merchant Profile -> Invoice Data. For each Online Store of the Merchant, an invoice can be issued to a separate company.

    THE ABOVE MEANS:

    The Merchant pays the fees for using the platform through the registered payment card and should maintain the required balance for making the due payments. The Merchant authorizes CloudCart to automatically withdraw amounts for payment of the due fees from his payment card, and agrees that all amounts will be debited by CloudCart in euros (EUR).

    In case of non-payment of the fee for any reason, CloudCart has the right to suspend the Merchant's access to the Administrative Panel of the Online Store. If payment is delayed by 30 days, CloudCart may terminate the provision of Services and delete the Merchant's information. CloudCart does not owe a refund of prepaid amounts.

    12. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

    • 12.1 The Merchant expressly declares that he understands and agrees that CloudCart is not liable for any direct or indirect, material or immaterial damages, including losses, missed profits, damage to trade reputation, and others, which the Merchant has suffered in connection with or as a result of using or not using (regardless of the reason) the CloudCart® platform.
    • 12.2 CloudCart does not guarantee that the use of the Services will only bring benefits, revenues, or profits to the Merchant.
