We may provide notice to you of material revisions by means of a general notice on our website. Your continued use of the Services after such revisions are posted will signify your agreement to these revised terms. Therefore, you should visit this page periodically to review this Agreement.
Our Services
Our services are described in detail on our website.
We offer Marketing, Logistics and e-commerce development services. Furthermore, we develop and make available to you apps which are designed to enhance your e-commerce platform. Our eCommerce apps are built to provide additional value-add features to your existing storefront. In some cases, our apps may permit you to receive, sell, and otherwise use material (“Uploaded Content”) which is uploaded by third parties (“Content Uploaders”). We can also custom develop apps for your store, provide webmaster services, and many other e-commerce services. You can access information on our current apps at hoculus.com.
The specifics of each aspect of the Services (including technical details, support and pricing information) are posted on our website, as we may amend them from time to time, as well as in any applicable statement of work we may issue to you, in respect of the Services. Where you engage us to custom develop Services, the details of our engagement will be governed by any additional documents and agreements as part of that engagement. We take reasonable efforts to explain each Serviceʼs features to you on our website, but we canʼt guarantee a Service will look or perform exactly like it appears on a demo page. If you have any questions about any terms or details of any of our Services, please reach out to us at the contact information below. Hoculus shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide technical support for Services. We are not responsible for providing technical support for any apps, products, or services provided to you by third parties.
Payments & Terms
Sales are finalized once you make your purchase. If we are required to pay any chargeback fees in connection with your use of our services, you agree to compensate us for those fees. We will typically bill you monthly. You are required to pay the amount billed within 15 days.
All Services are provided on a per store basis, meaning you will have to purchase Services on an individual store basis. For example, if you have two stores, and you wish to use one of our apps for both stores, you must purchase two subscriptions to that app.
Unless otherwise indicated, the sale is finalized when you conclude the purchase of the Service, and your method of payment will be charged following your predefined billing cycle on that eCommerce platform. When you make a payment, you confirm that you are entitled to use the method which you have used to make the payment. All payments to Hoculus do not include applicable sales, goods and services, harmonized, or any other taxes or fees, which may be charged by governmental authorities. Such taxes and/or fees will be added to the total amount you are required to pay and billed to your method of payment. Payment of these taxes and/or fees will be your sole responsibility. You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Hoculus and its officers, directors, subsidiaries, affiliates, employees, representatives, agents, licensors and their respective successors and assigns (collectively, its “Others”), against any chargeback costs (plus any taxes or related fees) which we are required to pay, as a result of a payment dispute with you or in relation to a payment you have made to us for the Services.
In the event that you are billed directly by us, in most cases, you will be billed in advance of your payment period, typically monthly. In some cases, such as for overages, you may be billed in the month after the overages incurred. You must make all payments, without any setoff or deduction for any reason, within fifteen (15) days of the date of your invoice in a manner determined by us in our sole discretion.
All payments are made payable in EUR or USD.
Trial Period
If we offer you a trial period, you will not be charged for using the applicable apps during that period. These terms apply during any trial period. If you continue to use the services after the trial period ends, you will be charged for such use and these terms continue to apply.
We may offer a trial period for certain Services before being required to purchase or subscribe. The duration and specific terms of the trial period will be published to our websites and during the Services install process. You will not be charged for the Services until the trial period has expired. You agree that even though you may have access to the Services on a trial basis, free of charge, you will be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Your continued use of the Services following the conclusion of the trial period constitutes your consent to be charged for those Services and to the provisions in this Agreement.

anything else with Our Content without getting our “ok” in advance.

Unless otherwise agreed to by you and Hoculus in writing, under no circumstances shall the liability of Hoculus and its Others to you, for damages or losses suffered by you arising out of, related to or caused by, the Services, or the use thereof, exceed a maximum equal to the amount actually paid by you for the Services in the three (3) monthsʼ period preceding such losses or damages. You acknowledge and agree that the payments paid by you for the Services reflect the allocation of risk set forth in this Agreement and that Hoculus would not enter into this Agreement without these limitations on liability.

Cancellation, Termination & Refund Policy
We may change, suspend or terminate your access to the services at any time. You may cancel your subscription to our services at any time and without incurring any fees by uninstalling the apps that you no longer want to use. Your next invoice will be adjusted accordingly. After the services are terminated, you will lose access to them.
If you breach any provision of this Agreement (as determined by us, in our sole discretion), we may terminate this Agreement and you may no longer use the Services. We may, at any time, and for any reason, with or without cause, and in our sole discretion, immediately suspend or terminate (in whole or in part) your permission to use the Services and this Agreement, all without notice or liability to you or to any other person.
We shall not be responsible for refunding or otherwise paying any funds, amounts or credits that may be owed to you if we have suspended or terminated your permission to use the Services or any part thereof. We reserve the right to cease, suspend or interrupt operation of, or access to, the Services or any part thereof, and we shall not be required to provide any notice in respect of such cessation, suspension or interruption of access, nor shall we have any liability for such cessation, suspension or interruption of access. While we do not offer any refunds on the Services and all sales are final, you may cancel your subscription(s) at any time for no additional charges. Simply uninstall the app(s) (or other Services) that you no longer want to use and your next invoice will automatically be adjusted to exclude the app(s) (or other Services) you uninstall (provided that, in the case of subscription based Services, your invoice will be adjusted during the first billing cycle after you uninstall the app). If you no longer use any of our apps or Services and you no longer owe us any fees, you wonʼt receive any further invoices. Upon termination, all payments for Services received pursuant to this Agreement shall become due immediately. Please note that this cancellation policy may not apply to custom developed Services/deliverables which you have engaged us to create/perform for you.
When the Services are terminated by you or by us, for any reason, we will stop providing the Services to you, and you will no longer be able to access your Hoculus account. You shall uninstall and/or delete any apps or other software you have downloaded from us. The termination of the Services may result in the loss of content which is associated with your account and we are not responsible for storing or providing you copies of such content. Personal data tied to your Hoculus account will be permanently deleted or anonymized within 60 days of the termination date.
Provisions which, by their nature, should survive termination of this Agreement (including, without limitation, obligations you have to pay or indemnify us, limitations on our liability and any releases of us, terms regarding confidentiality, ownership of intellectual property rights and rules which govern disputes between us), shall survive termination of this Agreement.
