- Privacy
For information about how ZiP and its affiliates collect, use, and share your personal data, please see our Privacy Policy. By using ZiP, you agree that we may use your personal data in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
- Purchases
Generally. ZiP may offer products and services for purchase (In-App Purchase) through the App Store, Google Play Store, ZiP direct billing or other platforms authorised by ZiP. If you choose to make an In-App Purchase, you acknowledge and agree that additional terms, disclosed to you at the point of purchase, may apply, and that such additional terms are incorporated herein by reference.
You may make an In-App Purchase through the following payment methods (Payment Method): (a) making a purchase through a third-party platform such as the App Store and Google Play Store (Third Party Store), or (b) paying with your debit card, credit card, or PayPal account, which will be processed by a third-party processor. Once you have made an In-App Purchase, you authorise us to charge your chosen Payment Method. If payment is not received by us from your chosen Payment Method, you agree to promptly pay all amounts due upon demand by us.
Subscriptions. ZiP may offer some services as automatically renewing subscriptions (Premium Services). Please note that if you purchase an automatically renewing subscription, your subscription will renew at the end of the relevant period unless you cancel at ZiP’s then-current price for such subscriptions. To avoid being charged for a new subscription period you must cancel before the end of the then-current subscription period as set out below. You cannot cancel your subscription by deleting your ZiP account or deleting the ZiP application from your mobile phone or relevant device. We will give you notice of changes in the pricing of subscribed Premium Services along with an opportunity to cancel. If we change these prices and you do not cancel your subscription then you agree to be charged at our then-current pricing for the subscription.
Free Trials. If you sign up for a free trial and fail to cancel, your free trial may transfer into a paid subscription. Your Payment Method will then be charged at the then-current price for such subscription in line with ZiP’s usual subscription terms. Once this occurs, it will automatically renew at the end of each period and your Payment Method will be charged until you cancel it. To avoid being charged for a new subscription period you must cancel before the end of the then-current subscription period or free trial period. You must do this even if you have otherwise deleted your account with us or if you have deleted the ZiP application from your mobile phone or relevant device.
Cancelling Subscriptions. If you purchased a subscription directly from ZiP, you may cancel or change your Payment Method via the Payment Settings option on the Service. If you purchased a subscription through a Third Party Store, you will need to change or cancel your subscription through that Third Party Store. You will need to do this even if you have otherwise deleted your account with us or if you have deleted the ZiP application from your mobile phone or relevant device. Deleting your account on ZiP or deleting the ZiP application from your device does not terminate or cancel your subscription. If you terminate or cancel your subscription, you may use your subscription until the end of your then-current subscription term, and your subscription will not be renewed after your then-current term expires.
Additional Direct Payment Terms. If you pay ZiP directly, ZiP may correct any billing errors that it makes even if it has already requested or received payment. If you in any way reverse a payment made with your Payment Method, ZiP in its sole discretion may terminate your account.
You may edit your Payment Method information on the Service under the Payment Settings option. If a payment is not successfully processed and you do not edit your Payment Method information or cancel your subscription, you acknowledge and agree that you will remain liable for any uncollected amounts and authorise us to continue billing the Payment Method, whether on the same or new resulting billing dates. In addition, you authorise us to obtain updated or replacement details for your relevant payment card as provided by your card issuer.
Refunds. Generally, all charges for purchases are non-refundable, and there are no refunds or credits for partially used periods.
For subscribers residing in the EU or the European Economic Area – in accordance with local law, you are entitled to a full refund without stating the reason during the 14 days following the commencement of the subscription. Please note that this 14-day period commences when the subscription starts.
To request a refund:
If you subscribed using your Apple ID then your refund will be handled by Apple, not ZiP. To request a refund, go to the App store, click on your Apple ID, select “Purchase history,” find the transaction and hit “Report Problem”. You can also submit a request at Apple support.
For all other purchases: please contact our customer support team with your order number (you can find this in your confirmation email or, if you purchased from the Google Play Store, by logging in to Google Wallet).
10. Account Termination
If you no longer wish to use the Service, you can delete your account at any time by following the instructions in the Settings option on the Service. However, if you made an In-App Purchase through a Third Party Store, you will need to manage the In-App Purchase through such an account to avoid additional billing. ZiP may suspend or terminate your account at any time without notice if it believes that you have violated this Agreement, misused the Service, or behaved in any way that ZiP in its absolute discretion regards as inappropriate or unlawful, on or off the Service. Upon such termination, you will not be entitled to any refund for purchases.
If your account is terminated by you or by ZiP for any reason, this Agreement shall continue and remain enforceable between you and ZiP and you will not be entitled to any refund for purchases made. Your information will be maintained and deleted in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
