sharecode.in, all content, and all sharecode goods and services accessible at or through these websites (collectively, "Services") are all subject to these Terms, which control your access to and use of them. These Terms also apply to any websites managed by our users that use our Services, such as code hosted on sharecode, and permit visitors to access and use those websites. Your use of our services is contingent upon your agreement to all of the terms and conditions set forth in this agreement as well as any additional operating guidelines, privacy policies, and procedural rules that sharecode may from time to time publish (collectively, the "Agreement"). The Agreement will be applicable to such upgrades, and you agree that we may automatically upgrade our Services. Before using or accessing our Services, please take the time to thoroughly read the Agreement. You consent to being bound by the Agreement by accessing or using any portion of our Services. You are not permitted to access or use our Services if you do not agree to all of the conditions of the Agreement.
1. Who's Who
"You" refers to both natural persons and legal entities who use or use our Services via these Terms. If you are a person using our Services on behalf of an entity, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to bind that entity to the terms of the Agreement and that, by using our Service(s), that entity is allowing you to accept the terms of the Agreement on its behalf.
2. Your Account
When creating an account to use one of our Services, you promise to do so truthfully and completely. You also promise to keep your account information up to date. This is crucial because occasionally we might need to notify you of significant improvements (like revisions to our Terms of Service or Privacy Policy) or we might want to let you know about potential legal issues so you can decide how to proceed in light of them. Any action that takes place under your account is totally your responsibility and is subject to your liability. You are in charge of keeping your account information current and your password safe. You are totally accountable for any activities that take place under your account, as well as any other decisions made in relation to our Services, and you are responsible for keeping your account and any website, store, or other material connected to our Services secure. Your access credentials must not be distributed or used improperly. Any unauthorized access to your account, shop, website, or any other security lapses must be reported right away to us. Any actions or inactions on your part, as well as any damages of any type resulting from such actions or inactions, are not our responsibility. You can choose not to receive the marketing communication, whether it be an email, phone call, or text message, if you don't want to learn more.
3. Minimum Age Requirements
Children are not targeted by our services. Only individuals who are at least 13 years old (or 16 in the European Union) may access and utilize our services. You cannot register for or use our Services if you are under this age. Anyone who registers as a user or submits personal information to our Services does so on the condition that they are at least 13 years old (or, in the European Union, at least 16 years old).

5. Fees, Payment, and Renewal
a. Sharecode Fees
Payment for Services. We charge a price for certain of our services, such the sharecode Pro plan. You consent to paying the stated fees and costs connected with certain features by using a Paid Service. There could be one-time costs or ongoing fees depending on the Paid Service. We'll bill or charge you for recurring fees on a pre-pay basis at regular, automatically-renewing intervals (such as monthly, yearly, or biennially) unless you cancel, which you can do at any time by sending an email to hello@sharecode.io Taxes.
Unless otherwise specified, all costs are exclusive of any applicable federal, provincial, state, local, or other governmental sales, goods-and-services, harmonized, or other taxes, fees, or levies that are now in effect or that may be adopted in the future (collectively, "Taxes"). All applicable Taxes pertaining to your use of our Services, your payments, or your purchases must be paid by you. You are liable for all applicable taxes, and we reserve the right to seek payment from you if we are required to pay or collect taxes on the fees you have paid or will pay.
Payment. We reserve the right to immediately terminate or revoke your access to the Paid Services if your payment is unsuccessful or if other Paid Services are not paid for or paid for on time. We reserve the right to terminate your access to our Services in general if you contact your bank or credit card provider to request a reject or reverse of charges for Paid Services.
Renewal on demand. Recurring Paid Services are automatically renewed to guarantee on-going service. This means that unless you stop using a Paid Service prior to the expiration of the applicable subscription period, it will renew automatically. You hereby allow us to invoice you or to use any payment method we have on file for you to collect the then-applicable subscription cost (together with any Taxes). Your Paid Services will automatically renew for the same duration as your first subscription period. The automatic renewal date, which is dependent on the initial purchase date and cannot be adjusted, is chosen at random.
Automatic Renewal cancellation. On the website for each service, you may manage and terminate your Paid Services. Contact hello@sharecode.io to terminate a sharecode plan.
Changes in fees. We have the right to modify our prices at any moment or to begin charging for previously free services. When appropriate, we could inform you in advance if the cost is changing. You must terminate your Paid Service if you object to the fee modifications. Refunds. Although you can stop using a Paid Service whenever you choose, refunds are only given at our discretion, unless specified differently by relevant legislation.
