Please read these Terms of Service ("Terms") carefully before using the website accessible at https://vault12.com or the Vault12 mobile application (together, or individually, the "Service"). The Service is owned and operated by Vault12, Inc. ("Vault12", "us", "we" or "our"), a company that specializes in distributed crypto and digital asset security solutions.
Your access to and use of the Service is conditioned upon your acceptance of and compliance with these Terms. These Terms apply to all visitors, purchasers, users and others who wish to access or use the Service. By accessing or purchasing the Service you are deemed to have accepted and agreed to be legally bound by these Terms.
By accessing or using the Service you acknowledge and agree that (a) you have read and fully understand these Terms and (b) you agree to be bound by all of these Terms. If you disagree with any part of these Terms then you do not have permission to access the Service.
Subscriptions
Some parts of the Service are billed on a subscription basis ("Subscription"). You will be billed in advance on a recurring and periodic basis ("Billing Cycle"). Billing Cycles are set either on a monthly or annual basis, depending on the type of subscription plan you select when purchasing a Subscription.
At the end of each Billing Cycle, your Subscription will automatically renew unless you cancel it or Vault12 cancels it. You may cancel your Subscription renewal through the Vault12 mobile application.
Free Trial
Vault12 may, at its sole discretion, offer a Subscription with a free trial for a limited period of time ("Free Trial"). At any time and without notice, Vault12 reserves the right to (a) modify the terms and conditions of the Free Trial offer or (b) cancel such Free Trial offer.
Fee Changes
Vault12 may, at its sole discretion and at any time, modify the Subscription fees for paid Subscriptions. Any Subscription fee change will become effective after the end of the then-current Billing Cycle.
Vault12 will endeavor to provide you with reasonable prior notice of any such change in Subscription fees, to give you an opportunity to terminate your Subscription before such change becomes effective. Your continued use of the Service after the Subscription fee change comes into effect constitutes your agreement to pay the modified Subscription fee amount.
Refunds
Except when required by applicable law, paid Subscription fees are non-refundable.
