The SimpleSite Services
SimpleSite offers products and services on the Internet (www.simplesite.com) related to the creation and hosting of personal websites (the “Services”).
Free trial
A free trial of the Services for one (1) month (a “free trial”) is available to first time users of the SimpleSite websites.
The free trial includes all the SimpleSite features – including 40 web pages, 300 photos, 10 videominutes, more than 200 ready-made templates, speech bubbles on your photos, your personal guestbook and other features.
A FREE TRIAL IS FREE OF ANY FEES, CHARGES OR OTHER FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS OR ANY OBLIGATIONS TO CONTINUE AS A SUBSCRIBER.
In order to establish your free trial website you will be asked to provide us with a correct personal email address. No credit card information is required for a free trial sign up.
Upon the expiration of your free trial, your website will be deactivated, unless you choose to sign up for a subscription, cf. below. Deactivation of your website means that visitors will not be able to view your website, but you will still be able to log in, view and edit your website and optionally sign up for a subscription.
Within ninety (90) days from the expiration date, you may choose to continue your website by signing up for a subscription. If you have not signed up within ninety (90) days, your website with contents will be deleted.
SimpleSite will inform you in due time when your free trial is about to expire.
Subscription and billing
Subscription price and content
The annual subscription fee for a SimpleSite personal website is $48 / £27 / €39.
The subscription fee includes:
  • Your own SimpleSite website name e.g. www.simplesite.com/YourName
  • 40 web pages
  • 300 photos
  • 10 videominutes
  • More than 200 Ready-Made Design Templates
  • SimpleSite features and services.
How to subscribe?
When your free trial expires, you will be asked by email if you wish to continue your website by signing up for a subscription and if so to provide us with the following information; (i) your credit card number and expiration date, (ii) your name, address and country. We will use that information for billing and to render our Services to you.
Upon receipt of the above-mentioned information, SimpleSite will activate your subscription and send you an email confirming your subscription.
Upgrades:
Additional photos and web pages may be purchased for an extra fee, which will be added to the ordinary subscription fee. The price for 20 web pages and 200 photos extra is $19 / £10 / €15 per year.
Billing
When your free trial subscription is about to expire, we will send you an e-mail informing you of this. This e-mail will be sent to the e-mail address that you have registered with SimpleSite. Then you should decide if you want to sign up for a regular paid subscription by paying for a subscription period with your Credit Card. If you sign up SimpleSite will charge the credit card that you provide to us, with the appropriate subscription fee that you have chosen. The subscription fee will be charged immediately when you sign up.
When a regular paid subscription period expires, we will send you an e-mail informing you of this. This e-mail will be sent to the e-mail address that you have registered with SimpleSite. Then you should decide if you want to continue your subscription by paying for a new subscription period with your Credit Card. If you continue, SimpleSite will charge the credit card that you provide to us, with the appropriate subscription fee that you have chosen. The subscription fee will be charged immediately when you pay for the next period.
SimpleSite Automatic Payment Service
It is also possible to register for automatic renewal payment using your Credit Card whenever your subscription expires.
IF YOU REGISTER FOR THE AUTOMATIC RENEWAL PAYMENT FOR YOUR SIMPLESITE SUBSCRIPTION, YOU AGREE THAT SIMPLESITE IS PERMITTED TO AUTOMATICALLY CHARGE YOUR CREDIT CARD THE SUBSCRIPTION FEE FOR RENEWAL OF YOUR SUBSCRIPTION FOR THE 1, 2 OR 3 YEAR PERIOD, THAT YOU SPECIFIED.
The subscription fee will be charged two (2) calendar days before a new subscription period starts. If for instance your free trial expires on the 10th in a month, you will be charged on the 8th for the next 1, 2 or 3 year period.
SimpleSite will charge your credit card on each renewal, unless or until you unsubscribe from SimpleSite OR discontinue the automatic payment service.
All fees and charges are nonrefundable. SimpleSite may change existing fees and charges, or add new fees and charges from time to time, subject, however, to an advance email notice of these changes of at least fifteen (15) calendar days.
How to unsubscribe?
You may terminate your subscription to the SimpleSite Services at any time. To do so, simply sign in and click “Stop/Cancel my website” whereupon your subscription will be terminated and all content on your website will be deleted with no possibilities of reactivating it.
If you have registered for automatic payment service, you must terminate at least three (3) days before the renewal of your subscription to avoid the next subscription fee being charged to your credit card.
SimpleSite does not provide refunds or credits for any partial subscription periods.
Change to credit card/expiry of credit card
If you have registered for automatic payment renewal and your credit card registered with SimpleSite expires or becomes invalid, you will be given a one (1) month grace period to register a new credit card. During this period your site will remain fully functional and visible to visitors.
If, at the end of the grace period, SimpleSite for any reason cannot charge your credit card your monthly fee, your website will be deactivated.
The website including all contents will be reactivated if SimpleSite receives credit card payment within ninety (90) days from the deactivation date.
After ninety (90) days the website including contents will be deleted.
If you have received a free website subscription, for example in connection with a magazine subscription etc., the terms about expiry, payments and conditions do not apply to you. However, please check the terms of your subscription by referring to the place where you obtained your free website subscription.
