The following terms and conditions apply to your use of the platform. This includes mobile and tablet versions, as well as any other version of MelpApp accessible via desktop, mobile, tablet, social media or other devices.

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE USING, POSTING INFORMATION ON, OR OBTAINING ANY INFORMATION FROM MelpApp.

Acceptance of terms

This agreement sets forth legally binding terms for your use of MelpApp. By registering and using the platform, you agree to be bound by this agreement. If you do not accept the terms of this agreement, you should not use the platform and discontinue use of the service immediately. We may modify this agreement from time to time, and such modification shall be effective upon its posting on the platform. You agree to be bound by any modification to these terms and conditions when you use MelpApp after any such modification is posted; it is therefore important that you review this agreement regularly.

Platform access and registration is available to all ages. It is the responsibility of parents and legal guardians to determine whether any of the content is appropriate for their children or minors under guardianship.

You represent and warrant that all registration information you submit is accurate and truthful; and that your use of the platform does not violate any applicable law or regulation. MelpApp may, in its sole discretion, refuse to offer the platform to any user and change its eligibility criteria at any time. This provision is void where prohibited by law and the right to access the service and the platform is revoked in such jurisdictions.

By registering and using the platform, you represent and warrant that you have the full right, power and authority to enter into this agreement and to fully perform all of your obligations hereunder. You further represent and warrant that you are under no legal disability or contractual restriction that prevents you from entering into this agreement.

Account

Users will be able to register on the platform by providing a valid email address and choosing a password. Users can also register and open an account through their Google and Microsoft account. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and account information, and are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your password or account. You agree to (a) immediately notify MelpApp of any unauthorised use of your password or account or any other breach of security, and (b) ensure that you log out of your account at the end of each session. You may never use another user's account without MelpApp’ prior authorisation. MelpApp will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your breach of this agreement.

Users can cancel their accounts at any time and for any reason through the user's account settings or by sending us their request through our contact information. Such cancellation will only result in the deletion of the account and the deletion of all personal data provided to MelpApp.

MelpApp reserves the right to terminate your account or your access immediately, with or without notice, and without liability to you, if MelpApp believes that you have violated any of these terms, provided MelpApp with false or misleading information, or interfered with any other party's use of the platform or service.

Users may share information through their profile with other users. Any information that users provide and share through the platform is the sole responsibility of the users themselves. Users are free to provide and share information, but are responsible for the use of such information, its publication and disclosure. MelpApp is not responsible for the information provided and shared by users through the platform.

Notifications and newsletter

By providing MelpApp with your email address, you agree that we may use your email address and phone number to send you notifications and other messages such as changes to platform features, news and special content. If you do not wish to receive these emails, you may opt-out of receiving them by submitting your removal request through the contact information or by using the "unsubscribe" option in the emails. Opting out may prevent you from receiving notifications and mailings about news or special content.

Subscriptions

MelpApp offers its services and use of the platform through subscriptions. Users will be able to access a free trial of our subscriptions before upgrading to a paid subscription. The user will be able to cancel the free period at any time before upgrading to a paid subscription. Once the trial period is over, the user will be automatically upgraded to a paid subscription. When a user purchases a subscription, MelpApp will send a confirmation email. This confirmation email will be produced automatically so that the user has confirmation of the start of the subscription. If the user does not receive the subscription start confirmation email, it is possible that it has been sent to their spam folder.

Subscriptions will be billed monthly on each monthly billing date. The price or total cost of the subscription may vary depending on the number of reservations the user receives through our platform. MelpApp will charge a value for each booking made through the platform by our users' customers and will invoice the total value of the bookings made on each billing date.

In cases where the user starts the subscription at the beginning of the month, the user will be billed for the bookings received during that period of time through the platform on the next monthly billing date.

Subscriptions include automatic recurring payments. You authorize MelpApp to renew your subscription and to charge you periodically and progressively on each billing date according to the bookings received through the platform. On the corresponding billing date, you will be automatically charged the corresponding subscription fee according to the bookings received between the previous monthly billing date and the current billing date. The subscription will remain active until you cancel it or we terminate it. If you cancel a subscription, you will be charged the applicable subscription fee based on the bookings received between the previous billing date and the date you cancel the subscription. We will bill you for the subscription billing fee in the payment method you choose during the subscription registration.

Subscriptions will automatically renew for an additional period unless cancelled by the user. To cancel subscriptions, users must submit a cancellation request through our contact information or can access in the account settings, in the billing section.

Payments

Subscriptions can be paid through the following payment methods:

  • Credit/debit card (Visa, Master, Discover, Amex, Diners, etc.)

Payments will be processed through our payment processor "Stripe". Payment of the subscription fee will be automatically charged to your credit/debit card on each corresponding billing date and according to the invoice issued and sent by Booklet. Once the payment for the corresponding subscription fee has been processed, we will send an electronic receipt to the user's email address.

If you find any inconsistencies in your billing, please contact us via our contact details or you can make a complaint via the Buyer service of the relevant payment platform.

If your card is declined, you will receive an error message. No payment will be charged to your card and no order will be processed. There may be a pending transaction on your account until your card issuing bank withdraws the authorization. This usually takes 2 to 5 working days. Your card may be declined for a number of reasons, such as insufficient funds, AVS (Address Verification System) mismatch or you have entered an incorrect security code.

If your payment is declined, you will need to provide an alternative payment method or provide another card on which the payment can be charged and processed.

Your payment details will be treated and retained securely and for the sole purpose of processing the purchase of the subscriptions. MelpApp reserves the right to engage any payment platform available on the market, which processes your data for the sole purpose of processing the purchase of the subscriptions.
