Your privacy is important to us. Please read the Staging Planner Privacy Policy (https://www.staging-planner.com/privacypolicy) (the "Privacy Policy") as it describes the types of data we collect from you and your devices ("Data"), how we use your Data, and the legal bases we have to process your Data. The Privacy Policy also describes how Staging Planner uses your content, which is your communications with others; postings submitted by you to Staging Planner via the Services; and the files, photos, documents, audio, digital works, livestreams and videos that you upload, store, broadcast or share through the Services ("Your Content"). Where processing is based on consent and to the extent permitted by law, by agreeing to these Terms, you consent to Staging Planner’s collection, use and disclosure of Your Content and Data as described in the Privacy Policy. In some cases, we will provide separate notice and request your consent as referenced in the Privacy Policy.
Your Content
2. Your Content.
Many of our Services allow you to store or share Your Content or receive material from others. We don’t claim ownership of Your Content. Your Content remains Your Content and you are responsible for it.
-
a. When you share Your Content with other people, you understand that they may be able to, on a worldwide basis, use, save, record, reproduce, broadcast, transmit, share and display Your Content for the purpose that you made Your Content available on the Services without compensating you. If you do not want others to have that ability, do not use the Services to share Your Content. You represent and warrant that for the duration of these Terms, you have (and will have) all the rights necessary for Your Content that is uploaded, stored, or shared on or through the Services and that the collection, use, and retention of Your Content will not violate any law or rights of others. Staging Planner cannot be held responsible for Your Content or the material others upload, store or share using the Services.
-
b. To the extent necessary to provide the Services to you and others, to protect you and the Services, and to improve Staging Planner products and services, you grant to Staging Planner a worldwide and royalty-free intellectual property license to use Your Content, for example, to make copies of, retain, transmit, reformat, display, and distribute via communication tools Your Content on the Services. We do not use what you say in email, chat, video calls or voice mail, or your documents, photos, or other personal files, to target advertising to you. Our advertising policies are covered in detail in the Privacy Statement.

When investigating alleged violations of these Terms, Staging Planner reserves the right to review Your Content in order to resolve the issue. However, we cannot monitor the entire Services and make no attempt to do so.
Using the Services & Support
4. Using the Services & Support.

-
i. Creating an Account. You can create a Staging Planner account by signing up online. You agree not to use any false, inaccurate, or misleading information when signing up for your Staging Planner account.

You cannot transfer your Staging Planner account credentials to another user or entity. To protect your account, keep your account details and password confidential. You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your Staging Planner account.
-
ii. Closing Your Account.
-
1. You can cancel specific Services or close your Staging Planner account at any time and for any reason. To close your Staging Planner account, please contact the customer service (https://www.staging-planner.com/customerservice). When you ask us to close your Staging Planner account, you can choose to put it in a suspended state for either 30 or 60 days just in case you change your mind. After that 30- or 60-day period, your Staging Planner account will be closed.
-
2. If your Staging Planner account is closed (whether by you or us), a few things happen. First, your right to use the Staging Planner account to access the Services stops immediately. Second, you may lose access to products you’ve acquired.
-

-
b. Work or School Accounts. You can sign into certain Staging Planner services with a work or school email address. If you do, you agree that the owner of the domain associated with your email address may be notified of the existence of your Staging Planner account and its associated subscriptions, control and administer your account, and access and process your Data, including the contents of your communications and files, and that Staging Planner may notify the owner of the domain if the account or Data is compromised. You further agree that your use of the Staging Planner services may be subject to the agreements Staging Planner has with you or your organization and these Terms may not apply.
-
c. Additional Equipment/Data Plans. To use many of the Services, you’ll need an internet connection and/or data/cellular plan. You might also need additional equipment, like a computer, a headset, camera or microphone. You are responsible for providing all connections, plans, and equipment needed to use the Services and for paying the fees charged by the provider(s) of your connections, plans, and equipment. Those fees are in addition to any fees you pay us for the Services and we will not reimburse you for such fees. Check with your provider(s) to determine if there are any such fees that may apply to you.
-
d. Service Notifications. When there’s something we need to tell you about a Service you use, we’ll send you Service notifications. If you gave us your email address and phone number in connection with your Staging Planner account, then we may send Service notifications to you via email or via SMS (text message), including to verify your identity before registering your mobile phone number and verifying your purchases. We may also send you Service notifications by other means (for example by in-product messages). Data or messaging rates may apply when receiving notifications via SMS.

e. Support. Customer support for some Services is available at https://www.staging-planner.com/customerservice. Support may not be available for preview or beta versions of features or Services.

f. Ending your Services. If your Services are canceled (whether by you or us), first your right to access the Services stops immediately and your license to the software related to the Services ends. Second, we’ll delete Data or Your Content associated with your Service or will otherwise disassociate it from you and your Staging Planner account (unless we are required by law to keep it, return it, or transfer it to you or a third party identified by you). As a result you may no longer be able to access any of the Services (or Your Content that you’ve stored on those Services). You should have a regular backup plan. Third, you may lose access to products you’ve acquired. If you have canceled your Staging Planner account and have no other account able to access the Services your Services may be canceled immediately.
Service Availability

We strive to keep the Services up and running; however, all online services suffer occasional disruptions and outages, and Staging Planner is not liable for any disruption or loss you may suffer as a result. In the event of an outage, you may not be able to retrieve Your Content or Data that you’ve stored. We recommend that you regularly backup Your Content and Data that you store on the Services or store using Third-Party Apps and Services.
Updates to the Services or Software, and Changes to These Terms
6. Updates to the Services or Software, and Changes to These Terms.
-

b. Sometimes you’ll need software updates to keep using the Services. We may automatically check your version of the software and download software updates or configuration changes. You may also be required to update the software to continue using the Services. Such updates are subject to these Terms unless other terms accompany the updates, in which case, those other terms apply. Staging Planner isn’t obligated to make any updates available and we don’t guarantee that we will support the version of the system or device for which you purchased or licensed the software, apps, content or other products.
-

Except to the extent required by applicable law, we have no obligation to provide a re-download or replacement of any material, Digital Goods, or applications previously purchased. We may release the Services or their features in a preview or beta version, which may not work correctly or in the same way the final version may work.
Software License
7. Software License.
Unless accompanied by a separate Staging Planner license agreement, any software provided by us to you as part of the Services is subject to these Terms.
-
a. If you comply with these Terms, we grant you the right to install and use one copy of the software per device on a worldwide basis for use by only one person at a time as part of your use of the Services. For certain devices, such software may be pre-installed for your personal, non-commercial use of the Services. The software or website that is part of the Services may include third-party code. Any third-party scripts or code, linked to or referenced from the software or website, are licensed to you by the third parties that own such code, not by Staging Planner. Notices, if any, for the third-party code are included for your information only.
-
b. The software is licensed, not sold, and Staging Planner reserves all rights to the software not expressly granted by Staging Planner, whether by implication, estoppel, or otherwise. This license does not give you any right to, and you may not:

Payment Terms
8. Payment Terms.
If you purchase a Service, then these payment terms apply to your purchase and you agree to them.
-
a. Charges. If there is a charge associated with a portion of the Services, you agree to pay that charge. The price stated for the Services excludes all applicable taxes and currency exchange settlements, unless stated otherwise. Taxes are calculated based on your location at the time your Staging Planner account was registered. We may suspend or cancel the Services if we do not receive an on time, full payment from you. Suspension or cancellation of the Services for non-payment could result in a loss of access to and use of your account and its content. Connecting to the Internet via a corporate or other private network that masks your location may cause charges to be different from those displayed for your actual location.
-
b. Your Billing Account. To pay the charges for a Service, you will be asked to provide a payment method at the time you sign up for that Service. Additionally, you agree to permit Staging Planner to use any updated account information regarding your selected payment method provided by your issuing bank or the applicable payment network. You agree to promptly update your account and other information, including your email address and payment method details, so we can complete your transactions and contact you as needed in connection with your transactions.
-
c. Billing. By providing Staging Planner with a payment method, you (i) represent that you are authorized to use the payment method you provided and that any payment information you provide is true and accurate; (ii) authorize Staging Planner to charge you for the Services or available content using your payment method; and (iii) authorize Staging Planner to charge you for any paid feature of the Services you choose to sign up for or use while these Terms are in force. We may bill you (a) in advance; (b) at the time of purchase; (c) shortly after purchase; or (d) on a recurring basis for subscription Services. Also, we may charge you up to the amount you have approved, and we will notify you in advance of any change in the amount to be charged for recurring subscription Services. We may bill you at the same time for more than one of your prior billing periods for amounts that haven't previously been processed.
-
d. Recurring Payments. When you purchase the Services on a subscription basis (e.g., monthly, every 3 months or annually), you agree that you are authorizing recurring payments, and payments will be made to Staging Planner by the method and at the recurring intervals you have agreed to, until the subscription for that Service is terminated by you or by Staging Planner. You must cancel your Services before the next billing date to stop being charged to continue your Services. We will provide you with instructions on how you may cancel the Services. By authorizing recurring payments, you are authorizing Staging Planner to store your payment instrument and process such payments as either electronic debits or fund transfers, or as electronic drafts from your designated account (for Automated Clearing House or similar payments), or as charges to your designated account (for credit card or similar payments) (collectively, "Electronic Payments"). Subscription fees are generally charged in advance of the applicable subscription period. If any payment is returned unpaid or if any credit card or similar transaction is rejected or denied, Staging Planner or its service providers reserve the right to collect any applicable return item, rejection or insufficient funds fee and process any such payment as an Electronic Payment.
-
e. Online Statement and Errors. If we make an error on your bill, you must tell us within 90 days after the error first appears on your bill. We will then promptly investigate the charge. If you do not tell us within that time, you release us from all liability and claims of loss resulting from the error and we won't be required to correct the error or provide a refund. If Staging Planner has identified a billing error, we will correct that error within 90 days.
-
f. Refund Policy. Unless otherwise provided by law or by a particular Service offer, all purchases are final and non-refundable. If you believe that Staging Planner has charged you in error, you must contact us within 90 days of such charge. No refunds will be given for any charges more than 90 days old. We reserve the right to issue refunds or credits at our sole discretion. If we issue a refund or credit, we are under no obligation to issue the same or similar refund in the future. This refund policy does not affect any statutory rights that may apply.
-
g. Canceling the Services. You may cancel a Service at any time, with or without cause. Cancelling paid Services stops future charges to continue the Service. To cancel a Service and request a refund, if you are entitled to one, contact the customer service of the Staging Planner website. You should refer back to the offer describing the Services as (i) you may not receive a refund at the time of cancellation; (ii) you may be obligated to pay cancellation charges; (iii) you may be obligated to pay all charges made to your billing account for the Services before the date of cancellation; and (iv) you may lose access to and use of your account when you cancel the Services. We will process your Data as described above in section 4. If you cancel, your access to the Services ends at the end of your current Service period or, if we bill your account on a periodic basis, at the end of the period in which you canceled. If you initiate a chargeback or reversal with your bank for your payment of Services, we will deem you to have canceled as of the date that the original payment was made, and you authorize us to immediately cancel your service and/or revoke any content that was provided to you in exchange for such payment.
-
h. Trial-Period Offers. If you are taking part in any trial-period offer, you may be required to cancel the trial Service(s) within the timeframe communicated to you when you accepted the offer in order to avoid being charged to continue the Service(s) at the end of the trial period.
-
i. Promotional Offers. From time to time, Staging Planner may offer Services for a trial period during which Staging Planner will not charge you for the Services. Staging Planner reserves the right to charge you for such Services (at the normal rate) if Staging Planner determines (in its reasonable discretion) that you are breaching the terms and conditions of the offer.
-
j. Price Changes. We may change the price of the Services at any time and if you have a recurring purchase, we will notify you by email, or other reasonable manner, at least 15 days before the price change. If you do not agree to the price change, you must cancel and stop using the Services before the price change takes effect. If there is a fixed term and price for your Service offer, that price will remain in force for the fixed term.
-
k. Payments to You. If we owe you a payment, then you agree to timely and accurately provide us with any information we need to get that payment to you. You are responsible for any taxes and charges you may incur as a result of this payment to you. You must also comply with any other conditions we place on your right to any payment. If you receive a payment in error, we may reverse or require return of the payment. You agree to cooperate with us in our efforts to do this. We may reduce the payment to you without notice to adjust for any previous overpayment.
