These Terms and Conditions of Use (hereinafter "Terms") govern all access to and use of the SaaS platform accessible at BeatLink.io.

Age Requirement

The Service is strictly reserved for individuals who are at least eighteen (18) years of age and legally capable of entering into binding contracts under the law of their country of residence. By creating an account, the User represents and warrants that they meet this requirement.

• Contact Lookup: Aggregation of professional contact details (social profiles, email addresses where publicly disclosed) based on publicly accessible data sources.

The Publisher reserves the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any feature of the Service at any time, subject to reasonable notice where practicable.

4.1 — Accuracy of Information

The User guarantees that all information provided at registration and at any time during use of the Service is accurate, complete, and up to date. The User agrees to update this information promptly if it changes.

Each account is strictly personal and non-transferable. Sharing login credentials with any third party is prohibited and may result in the immediate suspension or termination of the account without notice and without refund.

4.3 — Account Security

The User is solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of their password and for all activities that occur under their account. The User agrees to notify the Publisher immediately at support@beatlink.io upon becoming aware of any unauthorized use.

4.4 — Account Termination by the User

The User may close their account at any time by accessing the account settings on the Platform or by sending a written request to support@beatlink.io. Termination does not entitle the User to any refund except as provided in Section 6.

4.5 — Account Termination by the Publisher

The Publisher reserves the right to suspend or permanently terminate any account that violates these Terms, without prior notice and without refund where the termination is due to the User's breach.

5.1 — Free Trial

Any new User is entitled to a three (3) day free trial period, beginning at the time of account creation and subscription selection. No payment will be charged during this period. The free trial is available once per person and once per payment method. Any attempt to circumvent this limitation (multiple accounts, different payment methods) may result in account termination.

5.2 — Automatic Renewal

By providing payment information and activating a subscription, the User expressly authorizes the Publisher to charge recurring monthly fees until the subscription is cancelled.

All prices are in US Dollars (USD). Applicable taxes (including VAT where required by the applicable law of the User's country of residence) may be added and will be displayed at checkout.

5.4 — Price Changes

The Publisher reserves the right to modify subscription prices. The User will be notified of any pricing modification by email at least thirty (30) days before the change takes effect. Continued use of the Service after the effective date of a price change constitutes acceptance of the new pricing.

However, by activating a subscription and accessing the paid Service, the User expressly acknowledges that performance of the service has commenced and thereby waives their right of withdrawal, in accordance with Article L221-28 of the French Consumer Code and equivalent provisions in other EU member states.

To exercise the right of withdrawal where applicable, the User must notify the Publisher by email at contact@beatlink.io within the applicable period.
