Terms of Use
Last updated January 9th, 2023.
Welcome to Matik! Matik provides software that helps users automate the generation of presentations that contain data. In this Agreement, all these functions are included in the term “Services.” The term “Services” also includes all of Matik’s mobile applications and related players, widgets, tools, software, personalized content, and other applications, as well as any other services and tools now known or later developed by Matik.
We hope you will carefully read through these Terms of Service (“Agreement”), since it is a binding agreement between you and Matik, Inc. (“Matik,” “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our”), which owns and operates the Services. It is effective when you sign up or otherwise use any of the Services or access any content or material that is made available by Matik through the Services (the “Content”).
This Agreement incorporates our Privacy Policy. You acknowledge that you have read and understood the Agreement and agree to be bound by it. If you don’t agree with (or cannot comply with) the Agreement, then you may not use the Service or consume any Content.
For purposes of clarity, the term “Services” includes all functionality made available through the Services, such as the help desk system, connectivity API’s, and related support services. Any new features which augment or enhance the current Services, including the release of new features or products, are also governed by this Agreement. Company reserves the right at any time to change or discontinue the Services with or without notice. You agree that Company shall not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuance of any of the Services.
You may sign up using an online form, paper agreement, or other paper or electronic means acceptable to Matik (“Order Form”). The Order Form is incorporated into this Agreement, and you agree to its provisions as if it were fully set forth herein. To the extent any provision of a duly executed Order Form accepted by Matik conflicts with the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of the Order Form will prevail.
We have also adopted a Data Processing Agreement (“DPA”) that places further restrictions and requirements on how we process Data. We make the DPA available separately to individuals and companies who wish to enter into a DPA with us. If you have entered into such an agreement with us, either by executing the DPA in hard copy or by clicking “I Accept” or similar language online, the DPA will apply to both parties’ actions under this Agreement.
When you visit the Website or send e-mails to us, you are communicating with us electronically, and you consent to receive communications from us electronically. We will communicate with you by e-mail or by posting notices on our website. You agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures and other communications that we provide to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing.
If you send us any comments, materials, or letters including, without limitation, questions, comments, suggestions, criticisms or the like (“Received Materials”), those Received Materials may be deemed by us to be non-confidential and free of any claims of proprietary or personal rights. Company shall have no obligation of any kind with respect to such Received Materials, and Company will be free to reproduce, use, disclose, exhibit, display, transform, edit, abridge, create derivative works from and/or distribute the Received Materials without limitation or restriction. Furthermore, Company is free to use any ideas, concepts, know-how, or techniques contained in any communication you send to Company for any purpose whatsoever, including, but not limited to, developing, manufacturing, and marketing products using such information or ideas, without compensation or any other obligations to anyone, including you.
At certain times, we may in our discretion need to make revisions to this Agreement. We will alert you about any changes by updating the “Last updated” date of these Terms of Use, and you waive any right to receive specific notice of each such change. It is your responsibility to periodically review these Terms of Use to stay informed of updates. If you continue using the Services after the effective date of the changes, you will be deemed to have accepted the revisions. If you do not agree to the revisions, you may terminate this Agreement by notifying us via e-mail at contact@matik.io. Any other changes to this Agreement must be in writing signed by both parties.
Certain of our Services are offered without charge. For others, you are required to pay a subscription fee (“Fee”). The description of which Services are free and which Services require the payment of Fees is set forth in the Order Form describing the Services when you sign up, and the Services and the Fees payable may change from time to time with or without notice. We use Stripe to process credit card payments in relation to the Services. Your authorization under this Section 5 includes your authorization for us to use Stripe or a similar service provider to process credit card payments.
When you sign up using a credit card or other payment method, you authorize us to make the charges disclosed to you at the time you sign up, including recurring payments, where applicable.
The term of this Agreement shall be the period set forth in the Order Form, or if no term is set forth in the Order form, a period of one year, with renewal occurring automatically at the end of each year unless a party notifies the other not less than 30 days prior to the end of the then-current term that it intends to terminate this Agreement.
We do not issue refunds. If you cancel a subscription, you will not be entitled to a pro rata refund of the Fees paid for any period in which you are not using the Services. We may make exceptions to this policy at certain times in our sole and absolute discretion without waiving any of our rights under this section.
From time to time, we or others on our behalf may offer access to beta models of the Services or trials of paid subscriptions for a specified period without payment or at a reduced rate (each, a “Trial”). We reserve the right, in our absolute discretion, to determine your eligibility for a Trial, and, subject to applicable laws, to withdraw or to modify a Trial at any time without prior notice and with no liability, to the greatest extent permitted under the law. Any Trial version of any software or service is provided without any warranty whatsoever.
