For example, the Administrator will determine who can be a User of Growbo under the organization associated with that Administrator and Subscribing Organization and the level of privileges that such Users will possess. Once initial registration has been completed, each Subscribing Organization will be able to register additional Administrators. Each Administrator may designate other Users as additional and/or successor Administrators; provided that, each Administrator is responsible for confirming that those person(s) accept such responsibility. Upon becoming an Administrator, each person will be deemed to agree to the obligations hereunder.

We will charge you fees (“Fees”) for your use of Growbo. You agree to pay any and all Fees specified in an ordering document or online order for your access and use of Growbo (“Ordering Document”). For the most current information about our pricing and payment, please review our Pricing and Payment Terms, which are incorporated by reference herein. Growbo may add new features for additional fees and charges, and add or amend fees and charges for existing features, at any time in its sole discretion. If we add or amend our Fees, we will update our Pricing and Payment Terms. Any change to our Pricing and Payment Terms shall become effective in the billing cycle, if you purchased a monthly subscription,following notice of such change to you as provided in this Agreement; provided however that if we have offered a specific duration and Fees for your use of Growbo, we agree that the Fees will remain in force for that duration.
6.2 Special Offers
In cases of a Trial Offer of any kind,, a new customer can only use it once as the purpose is to become familiar with the product. You will be billed automatically after the trial ends unless you inform us to cancel it before the start of your monthly Growbo subscription. You further acknowledge and agree that the purpose of the trial is not for getting "free work" or deeply discounted work done and if—at Growbo's sole discretion—we determine this is the case (e.g. we see repeat complaints, while you are also asking for more work or own the work completed, and asking to cancel simultaneously) we reserve the right to terminate any account and retain all ownership rights to the work.
In the case of Special Offers or Trials of any kind (e.g. Demo Special - $X off your first month only), a customer can only sign up once (1 time) as the purpose of this Special or Trial is to give new customers an incentive to sign-up and/or the opportunity to experience Growbo.
You further acknowledge and agree that you will not abuse this or any Special or Trial Offer to attempt to get “free” work done, and if —at Growbo's sole discretion—we observe that this is the case (e.g. you sign up, cancel the account and sign up again) we track this and reserve the right to terminate any account and retain all ownership rights to all work delivered.
6.3 Continuous Subscription; Automatic Billing and Policies
Unless otherwise provided in an Ordering Document any purchases for access and use of Growbo are on an automatically renewing subscription basis. YOUR Growbo SUBSCRIPTION WILL AUTOMATICALLY RENEW AT THE END OF YOUR SUBSCRIPTION TERM IDENTIFIED IN YOUR ORDERING DOCUMENT FOR SUBSEQUENT TERMS EQUAL IN LENGTH TO THE INITIAL SUBSCRIPTION TERM (EACH A “SUBSCRIPTION TERM”) UNLESS AND UNTIL YOU CANCEL YOUR Growbo SUBSCRIPTION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CANCELLATION PROCEDURES IDENTIFIED IN SECTION 6.3 OF THIS AGREEMENT. When you purchase Growbo, you expressly acknowledge and agree that: (1) Growbo is authorized to charge you at the beginning of each Subscription Term the Fees identified in an Ordering Document, any applicable taxes, and any other charges you may incur in connection with your use of Growbo, for as long as your subscription continues; (2) Growbo does not accept partial payments for the monthly subscription and (3) your subscription is continuous until you cancel it or Growbo suspended, discontinued or terminated it in accordance with this Agreement. You acknowledge and agree that the amount billed may vary due to promotional offers, changes in your subscription plan, changes in applicable taxes, and changes in Fees in accordance with Sections 6.1 and 6.3 and you authorize us to charge your payment method for the changed amounts. You acknowledge and agree that in the event of a failed payment of at least three-times, your subscription will be automatically be downgraded to our lowest advertised plan for continued, uninterrupted service. In the event that payment still fails and you do not update your payment information, Growbo at its sole discretion will terminate your account which will include eventual deletion of any related user(s), data, content, and/or webpages, etc. we may be hosting on your behalf.
6.4 Cancellation; Refunds
You may cancel your Growbo Account or the Growbo Subscription at any time. To cancel your Growbo Account or the Growbo Service, you must notify us at least one (1) business day before the start of the next Subscription Term using the appropriate functionalities of Growbo (e.g. live-chat) or by contacting us at [email protected]; to finalize your cancelation, and any pending refund if you are within the 14-day satisfaction guarantee period, you agree and acknowledge to complete a simple cancelation form. There will be no refunds or credits for partial months of subscription or for periods in which your Subscription remains unused. Returning customers for the monthly subscription are not eligible of the 14-day satisfaction guarantee since this was availed the first time customter signed-up. For Monthly Subscriptions there are no refunds, credits, or partial months credits given beyond the 14-day satisfaction guarantee period. You acknowledge and agree that if you request a refund as part of the 14-day satisfaction guarantee, that then, if the refund is issued, all intellectual property rights to all work produced for your account are forfeited and all ownership rights of said work revert exclusively to Growbo. Further, you acknowledge and agree that the 14-day satisfaction guarantee period starts from the moment you sign-up, whether that be for a sign-up, pay-as-you-go, or any other promotion we may offer. The days referred to in the “14-day satisfaction guarantee period” is in regular calendar days. Also in the event of cancellation, Growbo will immediately if not eventually delete any related user(s), data, content, and/or webpages, etc. we may be hosting on your behalf. You are advised to make copy of everything for you will eventually lose access.
For renewal purposes, if adequate written request is not received and your credit card is subsequently charged, you will not receive a refund. You are also not eligible for refund if the written refund request is issued more than 24 hours since the payment was made and there is account activity logged in the Growbo App during that time. Growbo may refuse a refund request if, in our sole discretion, we find evidence of fraud, refund abuse, or other manipulative behavior. This includes but not limited to any case involving a chargeback which Growbo deems to be unjustified, unethical, and/or part of the latter.
In the event that Growbo suspends or terminates your account or this Agreement, you understand and agree that you shall receive no refund or exchange for any Growbo Property, any unused time on a subscription, any license or subscription fees for any portion of the Service, any content or data associated with your account, or for anything else. You acknowledge and agree that in the event that any refund is given, the amount will be minus the typical ~3-4% credit card processing fee since credit card companies now keep those fees even in the event of a refund to the cardholder. Some of the services available on Growbo may require direct payment be made to a third-party. In this case, any refund policy is not enforced by Growbo, and is between the third-party and you.
6.5 Payment Information; Taxes
We or our third-party payment processors will charge your Fees and any other charges you may incur to the payment method you provide when you register for a Growbo Account or you identify in an Ordering Document. All information that you provide in connection with a purchase or transaction or other monetary transaction interaction with Growbo must be accurate, complete, and current. A valid (active) payment method on file that is linked with your account is required at all times. You may change your payment method by changing the information in your Growbo Account. You agree to pay all charges incurred by users of your credit card, debit card, or other payment method used in connection with a purchase or transaction or other monetary transaction interaction with Growbo at the prices in effect when such charges are incurred. If we are unsuccessful in charging your payment method and have still not received payment within two (2) business days after informing you, we may (without liability to you) suspend or temporarily disable all or part of your access to Growbo and we shall be under no obligation to provide any or all of Growbo while the Fees concerned remain unpaid. This does not affect any other rights and remedies available to us. You will pay any and all applicable taxes, if any, relating to any such payments of Fees, purchases, transactions or other monetary transactions.
6.6 Use of Service; Turnaround times et. al.
Projects are defined, generally, as a set of one or more tasks (or steps). Often, to keep things simple and for deliverables to be easy to locate later, we recommend one deliverable per project. Turnaround time refers to the duration a deliverable is completed. The average estimated turnaround time we aim at for completing each deliverable is normally 1-2 days depending on the package you are in and the complexity of the project. Examples of deliverables are drafting copy, design concept or automation set-up. This is different from a project or deliverable which entails more research or requirement gathering (like a motion graphics video) and which will have a longer turnaround time (or even need to be broken into more than one project, e.g. one project for the script, and one project for the video creation). For the Fly and Drive packages, the average estimated turnaround time we aim for is 1 day (and you’re generally given higher priority in the work queue) while for lower packages the average estimate is 1-2 for most deliverables.
Featuring Examples
On occasion, we may choose to feature the copy, design and / or video (or similar marketing deliverable) that we created for you, including names, trademarks, service marks or logos included in the design or video as Examples of Our Work. You grant us a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive right and license to use any version of the copy, design or video, or any portion of thereof, including without limitation names, trademarks, service marks or logos on these Examples of Work, for the limited purpose of Growbo's marketing and promotional activities. For example, we may feature the landing pages on our Examples page or on the pricing page or on our webinars. You waive any claims against us relating to any moral rights, artists’ rights or any other similar rights worldwide that you may have to your names, trademarks, service marks or logos and any right of inspection or approval of any such use. You can opt out of being featured by contacting grow@Growbo. This Section does not affect any rights you may have under applicable data protection laws.
Reviews and Testimonials
If you submit a testimonial or review, you agree that such submission(s) will not be confidential and may be used by us in any manner. By submitting or sending a testimonial or review to us (whether thru email, chat, 3rd party site, or other), you: (i) represent and warrant that it is original to you, that no other party has any rights thereto and (ii) you grant us a royalty-free, unrestricted, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive and fully transferable, assignable and sublicensable right and license to use, reproduce, publish, distribute, display, translate, summarize, modify and adapt such review or testimonial (in whole or part) and/or to incorporate it in other works in any form, media, or technology now known or later developed, in our sole discretion, with or without your name.
