altresume will provide a copy of these Terms of Use electronically to the Customer prior to the conclusion of the Subscription Agreement and in such a way that it can be easily stored by the Customer on a durable medium. If this is not reasonably possible, the location where these Terms of Use can be accessed electronically will be indicated before the Subscription Agreement is concluded. These Terms of Use may also be sent to the Customer free of charge at their request.

The Subscription Agreement is concluded electronically when altresume accepts the Customer’s order for paid-for access to the Platform, by electronically notifying the Customer or such acceptance.

altresume may, to the extent permitted by U.S law, verify whether the Customer is able to meet their payment obligations under the requested Subscription Agreement, as well as all those facts and factors that are important for a responsible conclusion of the Subscription Agreement. If, based on such investigation, altresume has good reasons not to enter into the Subscription Agreement, it shall be entitled to refuse the Customer’s order or request stating reasons, or to attach special conditions to the execution of the Subscription Agreement.

The Customer will promptly provide all information and cooperation necessary for altresume to execute the Subscription Agreement.

When the Subscription Agreement is concluded, altresume will take appropriate technical and organisational measures to secure the electronic transfer of data and ensure a secure web environment. If the Customer pays electronically, altresume will take appropriate security measures to that end.

5. Cooling Off Period for Subscription Agreement

The Customer may cancel their order at any time prior to its acceptance by altresume.

The Customer may cancel the Subscription Agreement within fourteen (14) days of execution of the Subscription Agreement. Provided the Customer has not used the Platform or the Services, the Customer will receive a full refund of fees paid. If the Customer has used the Platform or the Services during the cooling off period, altresume may retain such amount as is necessary to cover the cost of the Services rendered up to the date of cancellation.

6. Promotional materials and offers

Promotional materials and offers issued by altresume shall contain a complete and accurate description of the offered products, digital content and/or services. The description shall be sufficiently specified to allow the Customer a proper assessment of the offer including the availability of the Services and the price of those Services.

Where altresume uses images, they are a true reflection of the offered products, services and/or digital content. Apparent mistakes or manifest errors in the offer do not bind altresume.

Apparent mistakes or errors in a quote or offer do not bind altresume.

7. The altresume Subscription

Upon the conclusion of the Subscription Agreement, or later where altresume and the Customer have agreed, altresume shall provide the Customer with the Login Details, to be used for access to the Customer’s Account.

By sending the Login Details, altresume grants the Customer a non-exclusive, personal and non-transferable right of use of the Platform, the Services and the Documentation in the US with effect from and for the duration of the Subscription Agreement.

The Login Details and the use of the Platform and the Services are strictly personal to the Customer. The Customer must observe strict confidentiality and secrecy about the Login Details and take appropriate measures to detect, limit or prevent loss and/or abuse of the Login Details.

Loss or misuse of the Login Details and/or abuse of the Platform must be reported to altresume by the Customer immediately.

altresume is not liable for (the consequences of) loss of Login Details and/or the misuse of the Customer’s Login Details by any third party.

The Customer agrees that in order to facilitate the purchase by the Customer of any Services under a Subscription Agreement or otherwise form altresume, whether on a one-time or subscription basis, altresume’s third-party payment providers or resellers may store the Customer’s payment information.

The Customer agrees to pay the applicable fees for the Services under the Subscription Agreement (including, without limitation, periodic fees for monthly or annual subscriptions) as they become due plus all related taxes and Article 8 shall apply to all fees.

All fees paid are non-refundable, unless expressly stated otherwise in these Terms of Use.

Registration for paid-for services must be completed by the Customer online by credit card. The following payment cards are accepted:

  • Visa
  • Mastercard

8. Price / Fees

During the validity period stated in any offer made available by altresume to the Customer, the prices of the services offered and/or the service offered will not be increased, except for price changes which would apply if the Customer was a new customer. altresume will notify the Customer of any price increases in writing, giving thirty (30) days’ notice of the increase.

If the Customer does not agree to a price increase, they are entitled to cancel the Subscription Agreement with effect from the day on which the price increase takes effect.

The Customer is obliged to immediately notify altresume of any inaccuracies in their stated payment details.

If the payment method used by the Customer, such as a credit card, reaches its expiration date and the Customer does not edit their payment method information or cancel their account or such service, the Customer authorises altresume to continue billing that payment method and the Customer will remain responsible for any uncollected amounts. The Customer’s obligation to pay fees continues through to the end of the subscription period during which the Customer cancels their subscription. All applicable taxes are calculated based on the billing information provided by the Customer us at the time of purchase.

If the Customer fails to fulfil their payment obligation(s) on time, the Customer shall, after having been notified by altresume of the late payment and after having been granted a period of two (2) days to still fulfil their payment obligations, and the Customer still fails to pay within this two-day period, reimburse altresume for all reasonably incurred collection costs and interest at a rate of 8% per annum from the due date of the payment until the date payment is received.

9. Delivery times

altresume shall apply all due care when receiving the data from the Customer and when assessing the Customer’s application for the provision of the Services.

If the delivery of Services is delayed in any way, or if the delivery of the Services cannot or only partially be made, the Customer will be notified no later than thirty (30) days after their order was placed. In that case, the Customer has the right to cancel their order or terminate the Subscription Agreement.

After cancellation or termination in accordance with the previous paragraph, altresume shall immediately repay the amount already paid by the Customer.

13. Intellectual property rights

All intellectual property rights that established in the Platform, the Services, the Documentation and any other items provided by virtue of these Terms of Use or any Subscription Agreement, are exclusively vested in altresume or its licensors.

The Customer is not permitted to remove or change any indication concerning the intellectual property rights of altresume in the Platform, the Services and/or the Documentation.

Except as permitted by mandatory law, the Customer must not modify, reproduce or decompile the Platform or apply reverse engineering. The Customer is not permitted either to take any action with the purpose or purport to discover or obtain the source code of the Platform, or to engage third parties or to assist with such actions or for any indications concerning the confidential nature and confidentiality of works.

altresume is allowed to take technical measures to protect its intellectual property rights. Technical safeguards implemented by altresume must not be removed or avoided.

If, in altresume’s opinion, this is not reasonably possible, altresume has the right to terminate these Terms of Use or the Subscription Agreement without being liable to pay damages to the Customer. Any other or further liability or indemnification obligation on the part of altresume for infringement of intellectual property of a third party is entirely excluded.

Complaints submitted to altresume will be answered within a period of fourteen (14) days from the date of receipt. If a complaint requires a longer processing time than anticipated, altresume will reply within the period of fourteen (14) days with a notice of receipt and an indication of when the Customer can expect a more detailed answer.

The warranty set out in the first paragraph of this Article 14 does not apply where any defect or fault results from the Customer having used the Platform in breach of these Terms of Use.

The warranty set out in the first paragraph of this Article 14 is in addition to the Customer’s legal rights as a consumer in relation to software that is faulty or not as described. Advice about the Customer’s legal rights is available from the Customer’s local Citizens’ Advice Bureau or Trading Standards office.

15. Liability

The Customer acknowledges that the Platform and the Services have not been developed to meet the Customer’s individual requirements, and that it is therefore the Customer’s responsibility to ensure that the facilities and functions of the Platform and the Services as described in the Documentation meet the Customer’s requirements.

altresume only supplies the Platform, the Services and the Documentation for domestic and private use by consumers. The Customer agrees not to use the Platform, the Services and/or the Documentation for any commercial, business or re-sale purposes, and altresume has no liability to the Customer for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity.

altresume is only responsible for loss or damage suffered by the Customer that is a foreseeable result of altresume’s breach of these Terms of Use or its negligence up to the amount specified in the following paragraph, but altresume is not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable if they were an obvious consequence of altresume’s breach or if they were contemplated by the Customer and altresume either on the Consumer’s first use of the Platform or (in the case of paid-for services) at the time the Subscription Agreement was entered into.

altresume’s maximum aggregate liability under or in connection with these Terms of Use whether in contract, tort (including negligence) or otherwise, shall in all circumstances be limited to a sum equal to the value of 12 months’ fees paid or payable by the Customer or, where the Customer uses free of charge services, the equivalent sum had those services been paid for. This does not apply to the types of loss set out below:

  • death or personal injury resulting from negligence;
  • fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; or
  • any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited by U.S law.

If defective digital content that altresume has supplied, damages a device or digital content belonging to the Customer and this is caused by altresume’s failure to use reasonable care and skill, altresume will either repair the damage or pay the Customer compensation. However, altresume will not be liable for damage that the Customer could have avoided by following altresume’s advice to apply an update offered to the Customer free of charge or for damage that was caused by the Customer failing to correctly follow installation instructions or to have in place the minimum system requirements advised by altresume.

16. Force Majeure

Force majeure means any event beyond the reasonable control of altresume, including without limitation failure of public or private telecommunications networks.

altresume will not be liable or responsible for any failure to perform, or delay in performance of any of its obligations under these Terms of Use that is caused by a force majeure event.

In the event of force majeure that affects the performance of altresume’s obligations under these Terms of Use:

  • altresume will contact the Customer to confirm that a force majeure situation has arisen;
  • altresume has the right to suspend the performance of its obligations, and the time for performance will be extended for the duration of the force majeure situation;
  • altresume will use its reasonable endeavours to find a solution by which its obligations may be performed despite the force majeure situation.

Where a Subscription Agreement is in place, if the force majeure situation lasts for more than ninety (90) days, either party may terminate the Subscription Agreement without being liable to pay damages to the other. The Customer will receive a refund for any Services paid for but not received.

17. Transfer of rights and obligations

The Customer is not entitled to transfer rights and obligations under these Terms of Use or any Subscription Agreement to a third party without altresume’s prior permission.

altresume is allowed to transfer its rights and obligations under these Terms of Use or any Subscription Agreement to a third party. altresume will notify the Customer in writing if this happens, and will ensure that this does not affect the Customer’s rights. The Customer is entitled to terminate the Subscription Agreement in writing if altresume transfers its rights and obligations to a third party.

18. Free Use: Termination

The Customer may terminate the licence granted under these Terms of Use at any time by ceasing to use the Platform and the Services.

altresume may terminate the licence granted under these Terms of Use immediately by written notice to the Customer if the Customer commits a material or persistent breach of these Terms of Use which the Customer fails to remedy (if remediable) within fourteen (14) days after the service of written notice requiring the Customer to do so.

19. Subscription Agreement: Duration, extension and termination

Where the Customer has entered into a Subscription Agreement with altresume, that agreement is entered into for an initial duration of one (1) calendar month, following which it is automatically renewed for successive periods of one (1) calendar month.

altresume and the Customer both are entitled to terminate the Subscription Agreement at any time by giving one-month notice in writing to the other. For the avoidance of doubt, fees will remain payable by the Customer through to the end of the notice period.

Both parties are entitled to terminate the Subscription Agreement without written notice of default or intervention of the court and without being obliged to pay any damages or compensation with immediate effect in writing in whole or in part in case:

  • the other Party applies for a bankruptcy or any other status of insolvency including administration, receivership, liquidation or winding up;
  • a Party applies for its bankruptcy or any other status of insolvency including administration, receivership, liquidation, or winding up, that bankruptcy or status is applied for or pronounced;
  • (part of) the assets of the other Party has/have been or is/are being seized;
  • in the event that the other Party is deemed to no longer being able to meet its obligations.

Both Parties have the right to terminate the Subscription Agreement in whole or in part in the event the other Party commits a material or persistent breach of these Terms of Use or otherwise fails to fulfil its obligations under the Subscription Agreement for which the other Party fails to remedy (if remediable) within fourteen (14) days after the service of written notice requiring them to do so.

If the Customer has already received any performance in connection with the performance of the Agreement at the time of termination, such performance and the associated payment obligations shall not be subject to reversal, unless altresume is in default with respect to said performance. Any amounts that altresume has invoiced before the termination in connection with any performance already delivered under the terms of the Subscription Agreement, remain due and become immediately due and payable at the time of termination.

20. Consequences of Termination

Upon termination for any reason:

  • all rights granted to the Customer under these Terms of Use or (where applicable) the Subscription Agreement shall cease;
  • the Customer must immediately cease all activities authorised by these Terms of Use (where applicable) the Subscription Agreement; and
  • the Customer must, where applicable, pay to altresume all sums which are due under the Subscription Agreement.

21. Miscellaneous

If the Customer wish to contact altresume in writing, or if any condition in these Terms of Use or any Subscription Agreement requires the Customer to give altresume notice in writing, the Customer can send this to altresume by e-mail [email protected] or by pre-paid post to altresume at company name . altresume will confirm receipt of this by contacting the Customer in writing, normally by e-mail.

If altresume has to contact the Customer or give the Customer notice in writing, altresume will do so by e-mail to the address provided by the Customer.

Each of the paragraphs of these Terms of Use operate separately. If any paragraph is unlawful or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force. altresume will establish a new provision, which shall be as much as possible in keeping with the purport of the unlawful or unenforceable provision.

If at any time altresume does not invoke a right or power conferred on it by virtue of these Terms of Use or any Subscription Agreement or the law, this does not constitute a waiver of such right or power and will not mean that you do not have to comply with those obligations. If we altresume does waive a default by you, it will only do so in writing, and that will not mean that altresume will automatically waive any subsequent default by you.

These Terms of Use do not give rise to any rights under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce any term of these Terms of Use.

Provisions in these Terms of Use or any Subscription Agreement which by their nature are intended to remain applicable after the termination or expiry (including termination or expiry of any Subscription Agreement) remain fully effective upon such termination or expiry.

22. Applicable law

These Terms of Use (together, where applicable, with any Subscription Agreement), their subject matter and formation are governed by U.S law. You and we both agree that the courts of the state of Delaware will have non-exclusive jurisdiction.
