Subscription and Trial period

IQ Hashtags Subscription is preceded by the Trial period available only to New users.

  1. Trial period – New user

The IQ Hashtags Trial period lasts 7 days, during which New users can test the STARTER, GROWTH, PRO, or ENTERPRISE Plan.

To start the Trial period in the tool, the new User must:

  1. First, Register an Account on the IQ Hashtags platform and accept the Service Terms and Conditions.
  2. Choose the Plan they are interested in – STARTER, GROWTH, PRO, or ENTERPRISE and Plan duration – min. 1 month or 1 year.
  3. Enter Payment Method (Credit Card, Apple Pay, Google Pay)

During the Trial Period, which lasts 7 days, the user may decide to continue the selected Plan under the paid Subscription or resign from continuing the Plan under the paid Subscription before the end of the Trial Period.

If the New User is unwilling to use the paid version of the Service, he/she is obliged to terminate his/her Plan on his/her own no later than the last day of the Trial Period. You may end your Plan in your Account Settings.

In the absence of action on the part of the User to end the Trial Period (the user did not cancel his Plan in the Account Settings before the end of the last day of the Trial Period), the Trial Period is automatically converted into a paid Subscription, for which a fee is charged in accordance with the Price List and the value of the Plan, which was selected by the User at the start of the Trial Period on the platform. This information is available to the User in configuring the Trial Period and in the Platform terms and conditions, which the User must read and accept during Account Registration and in Account Settings.

During the Trial Period, the User may change his Plan if he would like to use a lower or higher Plan than the one he had selected during Registration. You can read more about how to change your Plan during the Trial Period here: Can I change to a different IQ Hashtags Plan during the 7-Day Free Trial?

The start of the Trial Period does not oblige the User to start a paid Subscription; however, the User who does not want to start the paid Subscription is obliged to cancel the Trial Period before the end of the 7-day Trial Period in the Settings of his account. Therefore, lack of action (canceling the Plan) before the end of the Trial Period is tantamount to the consent to start a paid Subscription for the tool.

Users who have used the paid version of the platform in the past, after choosing a Plan and entering the Payment Method, are not eligible for Trial Period, and a paid Subscription automatically starts.

By using or accessing our Service, you understand and accept these Terms.

  1. Subscription – Customer

IQ Hashtags Subscription has two forms: monthly and annual.

  1. Monthly Subscriptions are automatically renewed every month until canceling the Plan by the User.
  2. Annual Subscriptions are automatically renewed every year until canceling the Plan by the User. In case the Annual Subscription is selected, the User receives a loyalty discount in line with the deal visible in the Pricing list for annual periods, allowing him/her to use the tool at a lower price than if he/she regularly renews the Plan every month. The yearly Subscription fee is charged in advance for the entire period.

IQ Hashtags Subscription is renewed automatically according to the Plan selected by the user. 

It allows the use of paid features of the tool for a specified period (month or year).

You can cancel your Subscription at any time in your Account Settings.

  1. If the Customer is unwilling to continue using the paid version of the tool, he/she is obliged to terminate his/her Plan in the Account Settings. The Subscription must be canceled before the Plan automatically Renews for the next period. The date and time of the Subscription Renewal can be checked at any time in the User’s Account Settings under the Subscription section. For PayPal Payments, you need to delete the Subscription in your PayPal account for Payments.
  2. If the User cancels the Subscription, the Subscription will not be renewed for the next period. Therefore, the data will cease to be collected and available to the User after the end of the active paid Subscription period in the tool.
  3. If the User decides to keep an active Subscription, the Plan is automatically renewed in accordance with the chosen subscription Plan and its Renewal period. This information is available to the User in configuring the Trial Period and in the Platform Terms and Conditions, which the User must read and accept during Registration and in User Account Settings.

By using or accessing our Service, you understand and accept these Terms.

  1. Trial period and Subscription – Plan contents

During the Trial Period, the New User may test paid IQ Hashtags features for 7 days free of charge and analyze their Account data corresponding to the contents of the Plans of Customers with active paid Subscriptions.

The paid Plans in IQ Hashtags consist of features listed under the Price list, which include the following:

  1. Search hashtags
  2. Hashtag performance
  3. Hashtag collections
  4. Profile analysis
  5. Followers analysis
  6. Reels metrics
  7. Banned hashtags

During the Trial Period, the User is not eligible to have the individual Instagram account audit performed that is available to paid Subscriptions Customers with an active paid Subscription using the PRO or ENTERPRISE Plan.

No e-mail notification is sent either about the ending Trial Period or the upcoming Subscription Renewal date.

By using or accessing our Service, you understand and accept these Terms.

IQ Hashtags account removal

Each User may submit a request to remove the Account and its data from the platform by sending an email to [email protected] or via chat (the service is available to the Customers of the tool, i.e., people with an active paid Subscription).

In the application’s content, the User should include the necessary information, such as the e-mail address associated with the registered Account.

If he/she is unsure which e-mail address he/she uses, he/she should attach Instagram Profiles that he/she analyzes in his/her Account to facilitate verification and finding his/her Account in the system.

Before removing the Account, Users with an active Trial Period or an active paid Subscription are required to cancel each of them in the Settings of their Account.

For PayPal Payments, you need to delete the Subscription in your PayPal account.

Removing an Account with an active Subscription or an active Trial Period is impossible.

Removing the Account during the prepaid period for the Subscription does not imply a Refund for the unused time by the User.

By using or accessing our Service, you understand and accept these Terms.

Terms of refunds and complaints

The User must read the Service Terms and Conditions containing regulations for Refunds and complaints when Registering an account.

Marking the “I accept the regulations and privacy policy” field is tantamount to a declaration that the User has read the Services’ Terms and Conditions and agrees to comply with the provisions contained therein, including the following regarding Refunds and complaints.

To submit a request for a Refund, the User should contact the Service by sending an e-mail to [email protected] or via chat and provide the necessary information about the Account and Subscription, as well as the reasons for which he/she expects a Refund.

By using or accessing our Service, you understand and accept these Terms.

  1. Monthly subscriptions – refunds

Monthly automatic Subscription Renewals that the User has not canceled during the active paid Subscription are not Refundable.

Automatic Renewals are defined as any Subscription payment made after the first month or year, depending on the User’s chosen Plan.

By using or accessing our Service, you understand and accept these Terms.

  1. Trial period – refunds

The only exception to Refunds for Monthly Subscriptions is during the Trial Period.

If, after the Trial Period, the User starts a monthly, paid Subscription and requests a Refund up to 3 days after the Payment was collected from his/her Account, the Refund will be accepted.

Application forms requested after 3 days of active Subscription will only be considered in exceptional circumstances.

In the case of an Annual Subscription started after the Trial Period, the Refund conditions are the same as the conditions for Annual Subscriptions for other Customers, which you can read about below.

By using or accessing our Service, you understand and accept these Terms.

  1. Annual subscriptions – refunds

We offer a full Refund for the annual Subscription for applications sent to us no later than 3 days from the date of Payment and automatic Invoice issuance in the case of automatic Subscription Renewals, as well as starting a new Subscription after the end of the Trial Period.

In the case of applications sent after 3 days of Payment but within 14 days after the Payment, we offer a partial Refund for the remaining unused months of the Subscription.

The partial Refund amount is calculated according to the formula: the amount charged for the annual Subscription with a loyalty discount is reduced by the Plan’s monthly value without the discount.

By using or accessing our Service, you understand and accept these Terms.

  1. Other cases

You may be entitled to a refund if you have encountered technical issues while using IQ Hashtags.

The right to a Refund and the amount will be determined individually after verification of the request.

Please send us a message with a description of the problem ([email protected] or via chat), and we will take appropriate action.

The following situations are not subject to Refund:

  1. Problems resulting from the temporary unavailability of META (Instagram) API, which may affect the downloading of the User’s Account data.
  2. Problems resulting from the User’s actions that may prevent the downloading of the data and the use of the tool (including but not limited to disabling Profile authorization via Facebook, removing the link between the Instagram Profile and the Facebook page, disabling the professional Account in the Instagram Profile).
  3. Expired claims, i.e., claims that exceed the time specified in the Terms and Conditions in which we can accept your claims (go back to the Monthly Subscriptions and Annual Subscriptions section for more details).
  4. The Service is not responsible for not canceling the Subscription started with PayPal. It is also non-refundable.
  5. Other situations not described in the Terms and Conditions are independent of the website, e.g., downtime of servers (external provider).

By using or accessing our Service, you understand and accept these Terms.

  1. Verification of applications and legal notes

Each disputed situation in connection with the complaint and refunds considered individually is subject to verification by the Support team each time based on:

  1. Platform Terms and Conditions and compliance of claims with respect to the contained records.
  2. Content of the User’s message.
  3. Logs of the User’s Account on the platform and a record of his/her activity.
  4. Logs of Payment systems for a given User used by IQ Hashtags – Stripe, Chargebee.

The User’s Account logs contain accurate information about the dates and times of each login, visited tabs of the tool, buttons pressed and started, and unfinished processes, including closing the active Subscription.

The law regulates the conditions of returns in force in the European Union and outside the EU:

  1. Global refunds policy: “(…) digital products can’t usually be returned, as they are downloadable, licensed, or accessed on a subscription basis.”
  2. European law and refunds policy: “online digital content, if you have already started downloading or streaming it and you agreed that you would lose your right of withdrawal by starting the performance.”

Purchased digital products based on the Subscription billing model are not eligible for Refund within 14 days.

Starting to use the platform is tantamount to using the purchased product.

When resolving disputes, the individual legal provisions of the User’s country are not considered.

By using or accessing our Service, you understand and accept these Terms.

Fee Changes

Ailo sp. z o.o., in its sole discretion and at any time, may modify the Subscription fees for the Subscriptions. Any Subscription fee change will become effective at the end of the then-current Billing Cycle.

Ailo sp. z o.o. will provide you with reasonable prior notice of any change in Subscription fees to allow you to terminate your Subscription before such change becomes effective.

Your continued use of the Service after the Subscription fee change comes into effect constitutes your agreement to pay the modified Subscription fee amount.

By using or accessing our Service, you understand and accept these Terms.

Chargeback

If Subscription fees are challenged at a company that supports your credit card or your financial institution, and if the Ailo investigation leads to the conclusion that the fees were justified, we may, with reasonable notice in advance, charge your Account a justified amount required to represent the cost of responding to your chargeback Refund request.

By using or accessing our Service, you understand and accept these Terms.

Invoices and confirmations

We do not issue manual Invoices at the Customer’s request.

IQ Hashtags Invoices are issued automatically based on the Customer’s company data entered.

In the case of New Users starting the Trial Period in the tool, the User is obliged to complete the data required to issue an Invoice within 7 days from the start of the Trial Period in the Account Settings in the Subscription section.

Users for whom the Trial Period does not apply (who have used paid Plans in the past and/or are renewing the Subscription) are required to fill in the data immediately in the process of making Payment for the Subscription.

Customers who have yet to enter their company details within the specified time will receive an automatic Invoice in the tool without their company details.

The automatic Invoice also confirms the purchase in the tool; no other confirmation is required.

Other situations will be considered individually after sending a request to [email protected], provided that the time from the Payment to the application does not exceed 1 month.
