Terms and conditions of sale

Purchase

Paid services

Living Vertikal Radio provides for additional services or subscriptions available upon payment of a fee.

The fees, duration, and conditions for the accounts and paid services are highlighted in the relevant section of Living Vertikal Radio.

Recurring subscription

Payments start from the date when Users choose a paid subscription or modify another existing payment plan. The subscription must be renewed at each billing cycle to maintain the benefits provided by the paid services.

Automatic renewal

Recurring subscriptions are renewed automatically through the payment method that the User chose at the time of purchase. The renewed subscription will last for an equal period of time as the original service period. Users may cancel automatic renewal at any time by changing their preferences for the payment method used. If the User cancels an automatic renewal, then Living Vertikal Radio may be forced to cancel their subscription when it runs out.

Methods of payment

Living Vertikal Radio uses third-party tools for its payment processing and is not connected with any of the provided payment information – such as the credit card – in any way.

Any declined payment costs shall be borne by the User.

Right of withdrawal for European Consumers

According to the applicable European consumer protection law, in case of purchase of services the European Consumer has the right to terminate the Agreement, within 14 days from the date the Agreement is entered into, without giving any explanation. For the purpose of exercising the right of withdrawal, the Consumer is obliged to inform the Owner, without any formality, of the decision to withdraw by sending an unequivocal statement to the address set out in this document. For the purpose of this communication, the Consumer can use the withdrawal form available at the bottom of the Agreement.

Any reimbursable amount will be returned by the Owner without undue delay, and in any event within 14 days of the notification of withdrawal by the Consumer, using the same means of payment used by the Consumer for the initial transaction, unless the Consumer has expressly otherwise agreed.

Limitations to the right of withdrawal

Notwithstanding the above, the Consumer acknowledges and accepts that the right of withdrawal does not apply to contracts for the supply of services after the full performance of the service by a professional if the performance initially began with the express consent of the User and their agreement to lose the right to withdraw. Therefore, if the European Consumer has made a purchase on Living Vertikal Radio and the Service provided by the Owner is immediately provided so that Consumer has immediate access to the use of the relevant Service, the withdrawal right shall be no longer actionable. The User also acknowledges and agrees that the withdrawal shall not apply to the supply of digital content through a non-material medium once the execution of the agreement has begun with the express consent of the Consumer and their acknowledgment of the loss of the right to withdrawal. This means that whenever a European Consumer purchases digital items from within Living Vertikal Radio, the withdrawal right shall be no longer actionable.

Refund and order correction

The User can ask for a refund or order correction only if:

• the User is charged for items that they did not purchase or
• they do not receive the items they did purchase or
• they are charged the incorrect amount.

Refund requests shall be processed provided that they are received within 24 hours from purchase. Refund requests received past 24 hours from purchase shall be evaluated at the Owner’s sole discretion.

EXCEPT FOR THE ABOVE-MENTIONED CASES, NO REFUND SHALL BE PROVIDED FOR ANY PURCHASE MADE.
