Subscriptions
Subscription period
ScribeCount is available only with a paid subscription. All subscribers will be billed in advance on a recurring monthly basis dependent and defined by their reported income from the month prior.
At the end of each period the subscription will automatically renew under the exact same conditions unless canceled by the subscriber or ScribeCount.
Subscription cancellations
Subscribers may cancel their subscription renewal by contacting the company via the support portal at support@scribecount.com and requesting cancellation of their subscription, or by accessing the “Cancel my Subscription” link located at the bottom of every webpage and Mobile Application page. Subscribers will not receive a refund for any fees already paid for their current subscription period and will be able to access the service until the end of their current subscription period.
If the subscription has been made through an In-app Purchase, the subscriber can cancel the renewal of their subscription with the Application Store.
Billing
Subscribers shall provide ScribeCount with accurate and complete billing information including full name, address, state, zip code, telephone number, and a valid payment method.
Should automatic billing fail to occur for any reason, the company will issue an electronic invoice indicating that the subscriber must proceed manually, within a certain deadline date, with the full payment corresponding to the billing period as indicated on the invoice.
If the subscription has been made through an In-app Purchase, all billing is handled by the Application Store and is governed by the Application Store's own terms and conditions.
Fee Changes
ScribeCount, in its sole discretion and at any time, may modify the subscription fees. Any subscription fee change will become effective at the end of the then-current subscription period.
ScribeCount will provide all subscribers with reasonable prior notice of any change in subscription fees to give subscribers an opportunity to terminate their subscription before such change becomes effective.
A subscribers’ continued use of the service after the subscription fee change comes into effect constitutes their agreement to pay the modified subscription fee amount.
Refunds
Except when required by law, paid subscription fees are non-refundable.
Certain refund requests for subscriptions may be considered by the company on a case-by-case basis and granted at the sole discretion of ScribeCount.
If the subscription has been made through an In-app purchase, the Application Store's refund policy will apply. If a subscriber wishes to request a refund, they may do so by contacting the Application Store directly.
Free Trial
ScribeCount may, at its sole discretion, offer a subscription with a free trial for a limited period of time.
Subscribers will not be required to enter their billing information in order to sign up for the free trial.
On completion of the free trial period you will be prompted to enter your billing information to continue use of the service. From that date you will be automatically charged the applicable subscription fee on a recurring monthly basis.
At any time and without notice, ScribeCount reserves the right to: (i) modify the terms and conditions of the free trial offer, or (ii) cancel such free trial offer.
Placing Orders for Goods
By placing an Order for Goods through the Service, you warrant that you are legally capable of entering into binding contracts.

We reserve the right to refuse or cancel your order if fraud or an unauthorized or illegal transaction is suspected.
Your Order Cancellation Rights
Any Goods you purchase can only be returned in accordance with these Terms and Conditions and our Returns Policy.
Our Returns Policy forms a part of these Terms and Conditions. Please read our Returns Policy to learn more about your right to cancel your order.
Your right to cancel an order only applies to goods that are returned in the same condition as you received them. You should also include all of the products instructions, documents, and wrappings. Goods that are damaged or not in the same condition as you received them or which are worn simply beyond opening the original packaging will not be refunded. You should therefore take reasonable care of the purchased goods while they are in your possession.
We will reimburse you no later than 30 days from the day on which we receive the returned goods. We will use the same means of payment as you used for the order, and you will not incur any fees for such reimbursement.
You will not have any right to cancel an order for the supply of any of the following Goods:
- The supply of goods made to your specifications or clearly personalized.

Prices Policy
ScribeCount reserves the right to revise its prices at any time prior to accepting an order or subscription.
The prices quoted may be revised by the company subsequent to accepting an order in the event of any occurrence affecting delivery caused by government action, variation in customs duties, increased shipping charges, higher foreign exchange costs and any other matter beyond the control of the company. In that event, you will have the right to cancel your order or subscription.

All goods or services purchased are subject to a one-time payment or a recurring payment. Payment can be made through various payment methods we have available, such as Visa, MasterCard, Affinity Card, American Express cards or online payment methods (PayPal, for example).

More information about how you may be able to manage In-app Purchases using your device may be set out in the Application Store's own terms and conditions or in your Device's Help settings.
In-app Purchases can only be consumed within the Application. If you make a In-app Purchase, that In-app Purchase cannot be cancelled after you have initiated its download. In-app Purchases cannot be redeemed for cash or other consideration or otherwise transferred.
If any In-app Purchase is not successfully downloaded or does not work once it has been successfully downloaded, we will, after becoming aware of the fault or being notified to the fault by You, investigate the reason for the fault. We will act reasonably in deciding whether to provide You with a replacement In-app Purchase or issue You with a patch to repair the fault. In no event will We charge You to replace or repair the In-app Purchase. In the unlikely event that we are unable to replace or repair the relevant In-app Purchase or are unable to do so within a reasonable period of time and without significant inconvenience to You, We will authorize the Application Store to refund You an amount up to the cost of the relevant In-app Purchase. Alternatively, if You wish to request a refund, You may do so by contacting the Application Store directly.
