1. HOW THIS AGREEMENT WORKS

1.1. The Agreement applies to all of our Solutions under the Simply Suite that you purchase, or for which you acquire the right to access or use. 

1.2 The Agreement consists of four parts: (1) the General Terms; (2) the Privacy Policy; (3) the Service Level Agreement; and (4) the Solutions Descriptions. Certain terms are defined at the end of these General Terms or in the Solutions Descriptions.

1.3 By purchasing a licence, you unequivocally confirm to have carefully read all five parts of this Agreement, and that you accept them.

1.4 In the event of any contradiction among these documents, the above order of precedence applies to the extent of the contradiction unless it’s clear that a lower ranked document explicitly deviates from a higher ranked document.

2. DURATION

2.1 The Agreement begins on the Start Date and continues until it is terminated as set out below. You may order our Solutions from us by purchasing a licence.

2.2 The Service that you order will start on the earlier of

(a) your first use of the Service,

(b) the date you purchased the Service, or

(c) the start date contained in your invoice, and, in each case, will end at the expiration of the Services Term unless terminated earlier as set out below. If the Service you have purchased is a subscription, it will automatically renew for successive terms of the same duration as the original Services Term, unless either party gives written notice to the other party of its intention not to renew at least 30 days before the expiration of the applicable Services Term (or any subsequent renewal).

3. FEES

3.1 You must pay us the Fees in the amount and in the manner specified per your Licence.

3.2 All prices communicated by us are excluding VAT, where applicable.

3.3 Simply utilizes automated payments for its Solutions, which the Customer must set up when purchasing a License. The Customer acknowledges and agrees that Simply will automatically withdraw the agreed-upon License fees from the provided payment method on a recurring monthly or annual basis, depending on the selected plan, for the duration of the Service Agreement.

3.4 Customer is at all times responsible for ensuring the validity and functionality of their payment details. Any issues arising from the inability to collect Customer payments due to incorrect or outdated payment details will result in the immediate suspension of the Customer Licence, and all Licences associated with the Customer’s organisation, until the payment issues are remedied and any outstanding payments have been collected.

3.5 Simply may change its prices of the Subscriptions at renewal, upon 30 days prior written notice. No rights can be derived from historic prices.

3.6 After confirmation of initial payment, Customer will receive access to their Simply dashboard and be credited their monthly allocated usage per their subscription tier.

3.7 Monthly allocated usage will reset every 30 days from the start of their subscription, as long as there are no issues with Simply collecting any subsequent monthly payment as per the automated renewal policy.

3.8 The user may downgrade or upgrade their current plan and the number of seats associated with their account at any time. In the event of a downgrade, the user will retain access to the higher plan or seat limit until the end of the current billing cycle. In the event of an upgrade, the user will immediately gain access to the higher plan or additional seats, and the associated costs will be immediately deducted from their payment method.3.9 Larger organisations may request to pay by invoice. Upon receiving written approval from Simply, an invoice will be issued to the organisations on a monthly or annual basis, corresponding to their selected plan. The invoice must be paid before the plan activates. A new invoice will be sent at least 30 days prior to the renewal date to allow sufficient time for payment. If an invoice is not paid by the due date, the account will be temporarily frozen until payment is received.

4. ENDING THIS AGREEMENT

4.1 A Party may terminate the Agreement on written notice with immediate effect if: (a) the other Party has committed a breach of the Agreement, which, if capable of remedy, the breaching Party fails to remedy within 30 days after receipt of a written notice from the other Party requiring remedy of the breach; (b) the other party suffers an event of insolvency (including the appointment of a receiver or liquidator). In addition, we may, at our option and without limiting our other remedies, suspend (rather than terminate) any Services if you breach the Agreement (including if you don’t pay our Fees after we ask you to) until the breach is remedied.

4.2 Either Party may terminate this Agreement any time if all Services Terms have expired.

4.3 The termination or suspension of a Solution will not terminate or suspend any other active Solution for the remainder of the Agreement, unless specified in the notice of termination or suspension. If the Agreement is terminated in whole, all outstanding Licences and Services will terminate. If this Agreement is terminated in compliance with the above, you agree to pay any amounts to us, on demand, for Services supplied by us up until the date of termination. [For the avoidance of doubt, Simply will deliver a full and detailed overview of any costs incurred by them in the providing of the Services upon request.]
