Subscription Policy
If you choose to subscribe to CVS for the use of CVS Services, we’ll automatically bill you from the date you start your subscription and on each anniversary date following that date. B2C Subscriptions for cinchPRO Services (cinchDENTAL, cinchACCOUNTANT, cinchVETERINARY, cinchPHARMACIST, cinchPODIATRIST, cinchSPORTSMED, etc.) are only offered as Annual subscriptions and are paid up front for 12 months at the time of completing registration.
B2B Subscriptions for cinchVIDEO Services are available as Monthly or Annual Subscriptions, selected at the time of registration. Services are auto-renewed on each Monthly or Annual anniversary going forward from that time. The subscription renewal will comprise of any Account Owner registration fees plus any additional users, excluding Guest Contributors (App Only Users in cinchVIDEO who are not charged for use of the Cinch Video Mobile App), who have been invited to join the account on a pro-rata basis prior to the next anniversary date, as a single transaction from the nominated credit card.
In the case of Account Users who leave their respective business and are removed the account by the Account Owner, a prorated amount will be attributed to the specific account concerned. The prorated amount is calculated on a daily amount x the number of days left in the current subscription period to the next anniversary date. The daily rate is calculated on the subscription rate originally paid in advance for the Account User at the time of joining the Cinch account, less any administration costs which may vary from time to time.
All transactions for new and renewing subscriptions are quoted, stated, charged and processed in Australian Dollars (AUD).
Auto-Renewal
At the time that each registration is completed, the next anniversary date is recorded as the auto-renewal date, at which time the subscription will renew for the next period unless the Auto-Renew option is disabled. If auto-renew is disabled, access to the account, all stored media and distribution activity will be disabled to all users, including the Account Owner, until such time as it is re-enabled by the Account Owner at some time in the future. If the Account Owner re-enables access by re-activating the account, all prior access and materials will be made available under these T&Cs. Unless you opt out of recurring auto-renew payments, you hereby expressly agree that we may submit periodic charges consistent with each Subscription Period without further authorisation from you until you purposely and expressly disable the auto-renew function.
All fees related to the subscription are fully earned upon payment.
If you cancel your subscription by auto-renew, you will enjoy your subscription benefits until the end of the then-current Subscription Period, and your subscription benefits will expire at the end of the then-current Subscription Period for which you have paid. We reserve the right to suspend or cancel any subscription or to reduce your paid Services to free levels, in each case, if we are unable to successfully charge your payment method to renew your subscription, if you don’t pay for your account on time, or in the event of any other breach by you of these T&Cs. In the event we suspend, terminate or downgrade you, you understand and agree that you shall receive no refund or exchange for any unused time on a subscription, any licence or subscription fees, any content or data associated with your account, or for anything else.
Refund Policy
You will not be eligible for a pro-rated refund of any portion of the subscription fees paid for any unused days of the then-current Subscription Period, unless such refund is legally required in the region where you live. If you live in a region where we’re legally required to issue a refund on early cancellation please email: accounts@cinchvideo.com. If for some unforeseen reason your complete access to CVS Services is unavailable for a continuous period of more than 14 Days due to a matter within our control, you may be eligible (at our discretion) for a credit of a pro-rated amount for the period of the service outage. For the avoidance of doubt if you are unable to access our services due to problems not related to CVS then you are not eligible for a refund or credit of any nature.
Payment Information
Our third-party payment processors will charge your fees for your account and any other charges you may incur to the payment method you provide when you register for a CVS account. All information that you provide in connection with a purchase or transaction or other monetary transaction interaction with CVS must be accurate, complete, and current. You may change your payment method by changing the information in your Account Management screen.
Price Changes
Prices are subject to change. We may change the subscription fees for the CVS Services in effect but will give you advance notice of these changes via a message to the email address associated with your account. Any price changes will take effect following such notice.
