Topple Terms of Service

The Gist

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) describe our commitments to you, and your rights and responsibilities when using our services. Please read them carefully and reach out to us if you have any questions. 

‍

Terms of Service

These Terms govern your access to and use of GoTopple.com (“Topple”), as well as all content (text, images, and other data you input, upload or store, “Content”) and services available at or through this site (“Service”). Our Service is offered subject to your acceptance, without modification, of all of the terms and conditions contained herein and all other operating rules, policies (including, without limitation, Topple’s Privacy Policy), and procedures that may be published from time to time by Topple (the “Agreement”). You agree that we may automatically upgrade our Service, and the Agreement will apply to any upgrades. Please read the Agreement carefully before accessing or using our Service. By accessing or using any part of our Service, you agree to become bound by the Agreement. If you do not agree to all the terms of the Agreement, then you may not access or use our Service.

‍

1. Who’s Who

Throughout these Terms, “you” applies to both individuals and entities that access or use our Service. If you are an individual using our Service on behalf of an entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that entity to the Agreement and that by using our Service, you are accepting the Agreement on behalf of that entity. 

‍

2. Your Account

You will need to create a Topple service account. An account requires providing an email address and creating a password. You agree to provide us with complete and accurate information when you register for an account and keep the information current. This is important because sometimes we may need to send you notable updates (for example, about changes to our Terms of Service or Privacy Policy), or we may want to let you know about and make informed choices in response to legal inquiries or complaints.

You will be solely responsible and liable for any activity that occurs under your account. You are responsible for keeping your account information up-to-date and for keeping your password secure.

You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account and you are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your account and any other actions taken in connection with our Service. You shall not share or misuse your access credentials. You must immediately notify us of any unauthorized uses of your account, store, or website, or of any other breach of security. We will not be liable for any acts or omissions by you, including any damages of any kind incurred as a result of such acts or omissions.

When you create a Topple account, we consider that to be an inquiry about our products and services, which means that we may contact you to share more details about what we have to offer. Don't worry -- if you aren't interested in learning more, you can opt out of the marketing communication, whether it's an email, phone call, or text message.

‍

3. Minimum Age Requirements

Our Service is designated for adults. Access to and use of our Service is only for those over the age of 16. If you are younger than this, you may not register for or use our Service. Any person who registers as a user or provides their personal information to our Service represents that they are 16 years of age or older.

4. Responsibility of Users

5. Fees, Payment, and Renewal

a. Topple Fees

Fees for Paid Service. Some of our Service is offered for a fee (“Paid Service”). By using a Paid Service, you agree to pay the specified fees. Depending on the Paid Service, there may be one-time fees or recurring fees. For recurring fees, we’ll bill or charge you for in regular automatically-renewing intervals (such as monthly, annually, or biennially), on a pre-pay basis until you cancel, which you can do at any time by contacting the relevant support team

Taxes. To the extent permitted by law, or unless explicitly stated otherwise, all fees are exclusive of applicable federal, provincial, state, local or other governmental sales, goods and services, harmonized or other taxes, fees, or charges now in force or enacted in the future (“Taxes”). You are responsible for payment of all applicable Taxes relating to your use of our Service, your payments, or your purchases. If we are obligated to pay or collect Taxes on the Fees you’ve paid or will pay, you are responsible for such Taxes, and we may collect payment for such Taxes.

Payment. If your payment fails or if Paid Service is otherwise not paid for or paid for on time, we may immediately cancel or revoke your access to the Paid Service. If you contact your bank or credit card company to decline or reverse the charge of fees for Paid Service, we may revoke your access to our Service in general.

Automatic Renewal. To ensure uninterrupted service, recurring Paid Service is automatically renewed. This means that unless you cancel a Paid Service before the end of the applicable subscription period, it will automatically renew, and you authorize us to invoice you or use any payment mechanism we have on record for you to collect the then-applicable subscription fee (as well as any Taxes). By default, your Paid Service will be renewed for the same interval of time as your original subscription period.  We may charge your account up to one month before the end of the subscription period. It is your responsibility to make sure you are checking your email (including any spam or other filters) in order to receive any reminder email we send to you in advance of renewal. The date for the automatic renewal is determined automatically based on the date of the original purchase and cannot be changed. 

Cancelling Automatic Renewal. You can manage and cancel your Paid Service at the respective Service’s site. 

Fee Changes. We may change our fees at any time, or start charging fees for Service that were previously free. When applicable, we may give you advance notice of the fee changes. If you don’t agree with the fee changes, you must cancel your Paid Service.

Refunds. While you may cancel a Paid Service at any time, refunds are issued at our sole discretion, unless otherwise required by applicable law.

We are constantly updating our Service and that means sometimes we have to change the legal terms under which our Service is offered. These Terms may only be modified by a written amendment signed by an authorized executive of Topple, or by the posting by Topple of a revised version. If we make changes that are material, we will let you know by posting on one of our blogs, or by sending you an email or other communication before the changes take effect. The notice will designate a reasonable period of time after which the new terms will take effect. If you disagree with our changes, then you should stop using our Service within the designated notice period, or once the changes become effective. Your continued use of our Service will be subject to the new terms. However, any dispute that arose before the changes shall be governed by the Terms (including the binding individual arbitration clause) that were in place when the dispute arose.
