SimpleSite offers products and services on the Internet
(www.simplesite.com) related to the creation and hosting of personal websites
(the "Services").
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.
The annual subscription fee for a SimpleSite personal website
is $69 / £69 / €69.
The subscription fee includes:
-
Your own SimpleSite website name e.g. www.simplesite.com/YourName
-
40 web pages
-
300 photos
-
10 video minutes
-
More than 200 Ready-Made Design Templates

SimpleSite features and services.
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.
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 $4 / £4 / €4 per quarter.
If you purchase a domain you will be charged a domain
subscription fee of $5 / £5 / €5 per quarter.
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.
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 QUARTERLY OR 1 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 quarter or 1
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 non-refundable. 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.
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.
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.
