As a EEA-based consumer you generally have a right to withdraw from a contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

If you purchase our Premium Subscription directly through us as a standalone product (i.e on our Website or through our Mobile Application), you expressly request that we start providing you the Premium Subscription within your 14-day cancellation period, thereby effectively waiving your 14-day cancellation right that might belong to you, if you are EEA-based consumer.

Please note that we may still offer you a right of withdrawal regardless of whether or not you are a EEA-based consumer and regardless of the above-stated exclusion, if such right of withdrawal had been explicitly stated at the last check-out step where you had placed your order for one of our paid subscriptions or if this is explicitly stated on the Subscriptions subsection of our Website.

If you paid for your Premium Subscription fee as soon as you bought your Bird Buddy Smart Bird feeder you may withdraw within 14 days if you are an EEA-based consumer, if neither you nor anyone authorized by you to use your account has taken advantage of any Premium Subscription benefits in the current Pre-Paid Period, whereby we will refund the Premium Subscription fee in full.

To withdraw within the 14-day period (or shorter period, as the case may be) as an EEA-based consumer, you can adjust your Premium Subscription settings in your Account, or otherwise inform us by an unequivocal statement (e.g. a letter sent to the address below or by or by e-mail to support@mybirdbuddy.com).

You can also choose (whereby this is not required) to use the following withdrawal form:

(complete and return this form only if you wish to withdraw from the contract)

— To Bird Buddy d.o.o., 16 Miklošičeva cesta, 1000 Ljubljana, Slovenia or via email to support@mybirdbuddy.com.

— I hereby give notice that I withdraw from my contract of sale for the provision of the following service: Bird Buddy Premium Subscription

— Ordered on, _____________

— Name of consumer, _____________

— Address of consumer, _____________

— Signature of consumer (only if this form is notified on paper), _____________

— Date _____________

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.

If you use any of the above-mentioned options, we will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.

Effects of withdrawal

If you withdraw from this contract, we shall reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (with the exception of the supplementary costs resulting from your choice of a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us), without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract. We will carry out such reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

No transfer or assignment of Free Trial or other subscription or benefits

You may not transfer or assign your Free Trial, Premium Subscription or any other subscription benefits we might offer including promotion codes, discounts or other benefits, except as expressly allowed in these General Terms.

No resale, rental or shipping to customers

Premium Subscription users are not permitted to purchase the subscription and use its features for resale, rental, or other commercial purposes which includes sharing any benefits or capabilities with third parties.

Termination

We may terminate any Free Trial or paid subscription with 14 days’ notice for convenience and will issue a prorated refund of your paid Premium Subscription fee based on the Pre-Paid period time remaining in connection with your current Premium Subscription.

We may terminate your Premium Subscription immediately by notice if we consider that (a) your use of the Premium Subscription service materially breaches these General Terms or any applicable law or (b) you fraudulently use or misuse the Premium Subscription service. In this case we will not give any refund. We will inform you of the termination of your Premium Subscription and your right to appeal.

You may terminate your Premium Subscription at any time in accordance with the “Cancellation by you and refunds” section of these General Terms.

Our Liability

We are liable for any damage you suffer as a result of gross negligence or willful misconduct by us, including by our directors and legal representatives.

We do not guarantee that third-party assets will be compatible with our subscription services unless clearly stated at the time of sign-up on the Subscriptions subsection of our Website.

We will not be held responsible for any delay or failure to comply with our obligations under these Terms if the delay or failure arises from any cause which is non foreseeable and beyond our reasonable control.
