Plan: Smilodo offers its services in various shapes in so-called Plans.
2.1 The eShop Owner is customer and contractual partner of the Aeddon Ltd. and must therefore be of legal age at the beginning of the cooperation and capable of judgment.
2.2 Smilodo offers a free trial period during which potential eShop Owners can try out the functions of the Smilodo-Platform. For this purpose, the potential eShop Owner must register an account by entering a minimum set of required personal data. On this occasion, the duration of the trial period will be displayed. At this time, the credit card details are also required for registration. During this free trial period, the potential eShop owner can use all the features offered, except for selling products in his eShop. His eShop will be marked as a demo store and his products will not be listed on the global marketplace.
When creating the free trial period, the potential eShop owner enters into a binding contract with Aeddon Ltd.
2.3 When opening the free trial period, the eShop Owner selects a specific plan that may be maintained, downgraded or upgraded by him during the free trial period. Up until the last day of the free trial period, his subscription for the selected plan may be cancelled. If no cancellation is received, the credit card on file will be charged for the selected plan for the first payment period of one (1) month. After the payment is confirmed, his demo eShop is transformed into a fully functional eShop that includes the functions of selling products and receiving payments. After the expiration of the paid period, the deposited credit card will automatically be charged for another period of one (1) month, provided that no cancellation has been received.
2.4 If a selected plan is upgraded during the paid period, the old plan will be terminated immediately and the newly selected plan will take effect for a new, full period of a rolling month. The remaining balance, on a daily basis (excluding the termination date), will be credited to the new, higher priced plan.
2.5 If a selected plan is downgraded during the paid period, the old plan will be terminated immediately and the newly selected plan will take effect for a new, full period of a rolling month. Part of the remaining balance, on a daily basis (excluding the termination date), will be credited to the new, more favourable plan for a maximum of one period. Any further credit balance will be forfeited. There is no entitlement to a refund.
2.6 If the potential eShop Owner denies activating a full account after the free trial period, the eShop and its content can be deleted by Aeddon Ltd.
