Fees

A valid credit card is required for payments. A credit card is not required to start a free trial, and you will only need to supply this if you wish to continue with a paid subscription account.

Credit card security is implemented using https (256-bit encryption) on all transactions. Credit card details are not stored within the Emergency Responder application. Your credit card details are stored at a trusted and secure payment gateway used by Emergency Responder for payment processing.

When upgrading or downgrading your plan, you will be pro-rata credited for the remainder of your current plan. You will then be charged at the rate of the new plan until your billing date. You will have the changed plan limits applied immediately. If this adjustment causes your account to be credited, this will be applied to your subscription and used for future payments. We do not provide refunds for these amounts.

If fees state they are exclusive of taxes, levies or duties imposed by the tax authorities. If your company is liable to pay VAT, you will be responsible for paying VAT on top of the subscription fees.

Downgrading or cancelling your account may cause the loss of access, content or features of the Service. CQV Ltd. does not accept any liability for such loss.

All monthly subscription fees must be paid monthly in advance.

All fees related to the Service, including but not limited to the monthly subscription plan fees, are subject to change upon 30 days' notice from us. Such notice may be provided at any time by updates to the Emergency Responder website (www.EmergencyResponder.com), notices within the Service itself, or by email correspondence.

If you have any questions about charges made to your account, please contact us immediately. If there are charges made in error, we will credit your account or credit card account for the appropriate amount.

SMS reminders (an optional feature) are charged per SMS sent. You are responsible for ensuring you have sufficient credit for SMS reminders (these are charged separately from the monthly subscription). Refunds will not be issue for unused SMS reminder credits if you cancel your account.

Cancellation and termination

You are solely responsible for the cancellation of your account. You can cancel your account at any time through the settings/subscription area of the application. Email or phone requests to cancel your account are not considered a cancellation.

Failure to pay your subscription fees will result in your account being suspended. Accounts are suspended for a maximum of 90 days before the account may be terminated by us. We are not responsible for any loss you suffer as a result of such suspension or termination. A suspended account can be reactivated by supplying valid payment credentials and resuming your subscription.

If you cancel your account before the end of your currently paid month, the Service will end immediately and you will not be charged again. You will not be entitled to a refund.
