The provision of Digital Content for use in the Website/App is a service provided by Urnovl.co that commences immediately upon accepting your payment.

Urnovl.co premium

Urnovl.co may offer Digital Content and Services(including but not limited to ad-free browsing experience,custom emoticons,badges etc.) in the Website/App on a subscription basis with recurring payments (“Subscription Services”). Subscription Services may renew automatically, with payment due prior to each renewal. You agree to pay your subscription fee in advance of receiving any such Subscription Service. Urnovl.co reserves the right to discontinue or modify any subscription fee payment option. If we discontinue or modify a subscription payment option, we will provide notice of such discontinuance or modification. You must affirmatively consent to the new payment terms in order to continue receiving the Subscription Services. If you do not affirmatively consent, your subscription will be cancelled. Also, if you are signing up under any promotional subscription fee, some additional restrictions may apply. These restrictions, if any, will be provided to you before you sign up for the applicable Subscription Service that is subject to the promotion.

You are responsible for all charges incurred under your account. Urnovl.co reserves the right to deactivate Subscription Services to your account if payment is past due, regardless of the euro amount.

Automatic payments

If you choose a Subscription Service (including any pre-paid subscription option or channel subscriptions which reverts to a monthly payment plan at the expiration of the pre-paid period), you hereby grant Urnovl.co permission to automatically charge the subscription fee to your chosen payment method at the beginning of each applicable payment period. You are required to keep your billing information current, complete and accurate (for example, if you move, be sure to update your billing address, if you get a new credit/debit card, make sure you update the card number and/or expiration date) and notify Urnovl.co if your selected payment method is cancelled (e.g., for loss or theft).

Urnovl.co reserves the right to suspend or terminate your access to any Subscription Service without notice upon rejection of any charges or if your payment method (or its agent or affiliate) seeks return of payments previously made to Urnovl.co when Urnovl.co believes you are liable for the charges.

Cancellation of Subscription Services

You may choose not to renew your Subscription Service at any time by selecting the “Cancel subscription” option under your subscription setting in your Profile Settings page or by contacting support@urnovl.co. Your cancellation is effective at the end of the current subscription term.

Fees and Payments – Readers

You may purchase Digital Content from a Novlist through the Service, including, without limitation, purchases of stories (“Novls”) and/or Merchandise. Each such purchase is a “Transaction.”

All sales of Digital Content are final (except where prohibited by law), unless otherwise determined by Urnovl.co. If you do not receive the Digital Content or otherwise have an issue with the Digital Content delivered, please contact Urnovl.co with your request and proof of payment at support@urnovl.co, and we will resolve your issue.

Fees and Taxation

As of 1 January 2015, EU tax law changed the rules in Telecommunications, broadcasting & electronic services. All suppliers delivering cross border electronic services(including e-books) to final consumers have to account for VAT in Member States where their customer are located. Therefore, Quills or price incl tax. might differ from user to user depending upon his country's VAT system.

You agree to pay all fees and applicable taxes incurred by you or anyone using an Account registered to you. Urnovl.co may revise the pricing for the goods and services offered through the Service at any time.

Your total price for Digital Content will include the price of the product plus any applicable sales tax and transaction fee; such sales tax is based on your location and the sales tax rate in effect at the time you purchase the product. Urnovl.co charge tax only in states or countries where digital goods are taxable. Transaction fees vary from 1.9% - 3.5% + €0.35 depending on sales volume and are subject to paypal’s fee policy and User Agreement.

Limitations of Digital Content due to copyright infringement

Digital Content you purchase in a Transaction cannot be guaranteed to be available to you perpetually. For example, if we receive a notification of claimed infringement from a copyright owner or its agent with respect to specific Digital Content, then EU law may require us to remove that Digital Content from the Service and not make it available for future sale and we may also have to deny continued access to anyone who previously purchased such Digital Content. This means that you may lose access to purchased Digital Content previously available to you through the Service.

If we are required by law to deny access through the Service to previously purchased Digital Content, including by removing access to Digital Content from a user’s personal collection through the Service, then Urnovl.co will not provide the user who purchased that Content with a refund, except as required by applicable law. Users bear all risk from the denial of access to any Digital Content purchased through the Service.

Because there is a possibility that we may be required to deny you access to previously purchased Digital Content, we encourage you to promptly download any Digital Content you purchase through the Service to your own devices so that you will retain control and possession of such Digital Content even if we are required to remove the Digital Content from the Service.

You warrant that if you enter into a Transaction, then you shall be able to make full and immediate payment for the requested products or services.

Listing Fee – Novlists

Novlists have the option to upgrade their account and enable payments, which allows them to list their Novls as paid content(“Paid Content”). To do so Novlists must pay a specified amount of euros as a one-time fee (“Listing Fee”).

Fees and Payments – Novlists

Novlists may set the prices for their Paid Content in Quills and change them at their sole discretion.

Urnovl.co shall be entitled to 25% of revenue you receive from Transactions (the “Revenue Share”), which shall be calculated on your gross revenue from Transactions, not including any Transactions for which you or we provide a refund. You shall be solely responsible and liable for, and Urnovl.co shall have no responsibility or liability for, PayPal fees (except for fees charged on Urnovl.co’s PayPal account), credit card transaction fees (together, “Fees”), bad debts (such as credit card returns or fraud), disputed payments, and refunds, except as provided in this Agreement.

Urnovl.co may withhold any taxes, duties, charges or levies on payments by Urnovl.co to you pursuant to this Agreement as may be required by applicable law, rule or regulation. Urnovl.co shall remit any such withheld taxes, duties, charges or levies to the appropriate tax authority.

Urnovl.co may retain funds otherwise payable to you, if Urnovl.co is required or chooses to provide a refund on your behalf.

For Digital Content, Urnovl.co will collect the purchase price and any applicable Fees and taxes. Urnovl.co will pay you the gross proceeds we receive from the sale of Digital Content, minus the applicable Revenue Share and any applicable Fees as noted above.

When you receive a payment for Digital Content, you are liable to Urnovl.co for the full amount of the payment sent to you plus any Fees if the payment is later invalidated for any reason. This means that, in addition to any other liability, you will be responsible for the amount of the payment sent by the sender, plus the applicable Fees if there is a chargeback, a dispute, or if there is a reversal of the payment. You agree to allow Urnovl.co to recover any amounts due to Urnovl.co by debiting your account or withholding any Novlist payout. If there are insufficient funds to cover your liability, you agree to reimburse Urnovl.co through other means.

Urnovl.co retains the right, but does not have the obligation, to immediately halt the offering or sale of any goods or services, prevent or restrict access to the Website/App or the Services or take any other action in case of technical problems, objectionable material, inaccurate listings, or actions otherwise prohibited by the procedures and guidelines contained on the Website/App, or for any other reason in the sole and absolute discretion of Urnovl.co, and to correct any inaccurate listing or technical problems on the Site. Urnovl.co may immediately halt the offering or sale of any goods or services upon receipt of notifications of claimed infringement, upon acquiring knowledge of actual infringement, or becoming aware of facts or circumstances from which infringing material is apparent with respect to any goods or services.
