Last updated April, 2024
IMPORTANT NOTICE: THIS AGREEMENT IS SUBJECT TO BINDING ARBITRATION AND A WAIVER OF CLASS ACTION RIGHTS AS DETAILED IN SECTION 7.
These General Terms and Conditions ("Terms") apply to your use of the website at www.testerup.com ("Platform") and the services offered there ("Module" or "Modules") or through an associated mobile application ("App") (collectively, the "Services") by aestimium GmbH, Rödingsmarkt 39, 20459 Hamburg, Germany ("Provider," "we," "us," "our"). By using the Services, you ("Member," "you," "your") agree to these Terms. Modules may have their own applicable Terms in addition to these Terms.
PLEASE NOTE THAT DIFFERENT TERMS MAY APPLY TO YOU BASED ON WHERE YOU LIVE. MAKE SURE YOU READ THE JURISDICTION-SPECIFIC TERMS FOR YOUR JURISDICTION OF RESIDENCE, AS APPLICABLE. These specific terms concern important aspects of our agreement, including how you consent to these terms, your consumer cancellation rights, our rights to terminate your account or access to the Services, your right to receive refunds, our warranties and liability, and the law applicable to these terms. There are currently jurisdiction-specific terms for: (i) Australia; (ii) Canada; and (iii) the United Kingdom. These jurisdiction-specific terms can be found in Part C at the end of this document.
From time to time we may update these Terms by posting the updated version to the Platform and updating the "Last updated" date at the top of the page. We will notify you of changes as required by law. If you continue using the Services and/or do not object to a notified change of the Terms within five (5) business days of our notification, you are deemed to consent to the updated Terms.
Part A: General provisions
1. Account
1.1. When you register for an account on the Platform, you are asked to enter your full name and e-mail address and to choose a password. You may log in using these credentials or through your Facebook account, Google account, or Apple ID. You represent that the information with which you register is correct, complete and up-to-date, and you must notify us of any changes to your information. You may only maintain one account at a time.
1.2. Within your account, you can update your information and activate or deactivate the Platform’s available Modules.
1.3. You can deactivate your account at any time. This will deactivate all Modules you are using and pause any paid subscriptions within the Modules. If you do not delete your account, we will retain your account information for up to twelve (12) months, and you can reactivate your account during this time.
1.4. If there have been no logins or other activity on your account for at least twelve (12) consecutive months, your account is deemed inactive. In addition, if you have a profile for only one Module within the Platform and there have been no logins or other activity on the profile for 12 consecutive months, your Platform account is deemed inactive. We will notify you approximately one (1) month, then again one week, before an account becomes inactive. Once an account becomes inactive, we will assess a fee of $5.00 (or local equivalent) per month on any balance associated with inactive accounts until the account is reactivated by a login or other activity on the account ("Inactivity Fee"). If you are subject to an Inactivity Fee, we will notify you at least thirty (30) days prior to deducting fees. If you have a profile in more than one Module on the Platform, when one of your Module profiles has no logins or other activity for 12 consecutive months, that Module profile is deemed inactive. If you have earned a balance on your Platform account through the inactive profile, we will assess an Inactivity Fee with regard to this balance only .
If your account remains inactive for the amount of time specified by applicable state law, usually three (3) to five (5) years, it will be considered abandoned, and we will be required to remit any remaining funds to the appropriate state agency as unclaimed property. We may also charge to any remaining balance additional fees associated with delivering abandoned funds to the appropriate state agency.
1.5. If you violate applicable law or these Terms, we may delete your account and bar you from future use of the Services.
1.6. You are responsible for keeping your account credentials private, and you agree not to share your login credentials with others. You are solely responsible for all activity that takes place under your account, including unauthorized activity. Please notify us immediately if you become aware of any unauthorized access to your account or use of your credentials.
1.7. We handle any information (including personal information) associated with you and your account in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
