4. Spinach Service plans

Spinach provides a game-based learning platform, which brings fun into learning, for any subject, for all ages, letting users create, play and share learning games. Spinach Services are available for free or as a paid service in accordance with the following.

The Spinach Services that may be accessed subject to payment are currently referred to as “Paid Subscriptions”. You can learn more about Paid Subscriptions and the different service plans that we offer you to sign up for by visiting https://Spinach.com/schools/plans/ or https://Spinach.com/businesses/pricing/ (the “Service Plans”). You agree to abide by the terms and restrictions applicable to the Service Plan that you have signed up for.

We reserve the right to change or withdraw features, specifications, services and content of a Service Plan at any time, without notice to you. Please note that the content and features of a Service Plan may vary based on when you signed up and whether you have signed up through our website or via the App. The Spinach Services offered via the App may only contain a limited version of the web based services. You can manage your Spinach user account here: https://create.Spinach.it/plus/org/billing/. If you have purchased a Paid Subscription through a distribution platform such as Google Play or Apple App Store, you must manage your account through such platforms.

4.1. Spinach Basic

If you have signed up for our free Service, a limited version of our Spinach Services is provided to you free-of-charge, for as long as you use the Services for non-commercial purposes only, in accordance with the limitations of use set out in these Terms. The Service Plan that does not require payment is currently referred to as the “Spinach Basic”. YOU MAY NOT USE Spinach Basic FOR COMMERCIAL PURPOSES. HENCE, IF YOU INTEND TO USE Spinach SERVICES FOR PROFESSIONAL PURPOSES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IN CONJUNCTION WITH OR AS PART OF A PAID SERVICE OR PRODUCT, FOR THE PURPOSE OF MARKETING YOUR OWN OR SOMEONE ELSE’S PRODUCTS OR SERVICES OR OTHERWISE IN CONJUNCTION WITH A COMMERCIAL EVENT SUCH AS A CONCERT, GAME SHOW OR BROADCASTED EVENT, YOU MUST SIGN UP FOR A PAID SUBSCRIPTION OR ENTER INTO A SEPARATE AGREEMENT WITH Spinach.

4.2. Paid Subscriptions

Spinach offers various Service Plans for use of the Spinach Services in schools, businesses and non-profit organizations. Some Service Plans require payment before you can access them and certain areas of use are only permitted if you have signed up for a Paid Subscription or entered into a separate agreement with Spinach. If you have signed up for Paid Subscriptions, you may get access to features that are not available through Spinach Basic and you may use the Services for commercial purposes, only if and to the extent such commercial use is permitted under the selected Service Plan. You can learn more about Paid Subscriptions and the different Service Plans by visiting https://Spinach.com.

4.3. Pre-paid offers

If you have received a code or other offer provided or sold by or on behalf of Spinach for access to a Paid Subscription (“Code”), separate terms and conditions presented to you along with the Code may also apply to your access to the Service and you agree to comply with any such terms and conditions.

4.4. Trials

We may, at our own sole discretion, offer trials of Paid Subscriptions for a specified period without payment or at a discounted rate (a “Trial”). We reserve the right to revoke the Trial and put your account on hold in the event that we determine that you are not eligible.

For some Trials, we’ll require you to provide your payment details to start the Trial. We will charge you on a recurring basis for the selected subscription fee at the end of the Trial using the payment details you have provided us, unless you cancel your subscription prior to the end of the Trial.

You have provided your payment details in conjunction with the Trial and you accept that we charge you using such payment details. If you do not want this charge, you must cancel your Paid Subscriptions through your Spinach account’s settings or terminate your Spinach account before the end of the Trial. If you do not want to continue to be charged on a recurring monthly or annual basis (as the case may be, depending on your Service Plan), you must cancel the applicable paid subscription through your Spinach account’s subscription page or terminate your Spinach account before the end of the recurring monthly period. Paid Subscriptions cannot be terminated before the end of the period for which you have already paid, and except as expressly provided in these terms, Spinach will not refund any fees that you have already paid.

5. Payments, cancellations, upgrades

5.1. Payments and cancellations

If you have signed up for Spinach Basic or if you cancel your Paid Subscription during the Trial, Spinach will never charge you any fees for your use of the Spinach Service. Paid Subscriptions can be purchased directly from Spinach in the App or on our web site, or through a separate agreement with Spinach.

If you have signed up for a Paid Subscription for a monthly subscription fee, you will be charged for one month’s subscription fee in advance upon expiry of any Trial. The Paid Subscription and the payment to Spinach will automatically renew at the end of the monthly subscription period, unless you cancel your Paid Subscription through your subscription page before the end of the current monthly subscription period.

If you have signed up for a Paid Subscription which gives you access to the Spinach Service for a specific time period (“Pre-Paid Period”), you will be charged for the Pre-Paid Period in advance upon expiry of any Trial. The Paid Subscription and the payment to Spinach will automatically renew at the end of the Pre-paid Period unless you cancel your Paid Subscription through your subscription page before the end of the Pre-paid Period.

If you cancel your Paid Subscription, the cancellation will take effect on the day after the last day of the current subscription period, after which you will be downgraded to Spinach Basic. We will not refund any subscription fees already paid to us.

Spinach may change the price for the Paid Subscriptions from time to time, and will communicate any price changes to you in advance and, if applicable, how to accept those changes. Price changes for Paid Subscriptions will take effect at the start of the next subscription period following the date of the price change. As permitted by local law, you accept the new price by continuing to use the Spinach Service after the price change takes effect. If you do not agree with the price changes, you have the right to reject the change by unsubscribing from the Paid Subscription prior to the price change going into effect, in which case you will be downgraded to Spinach Basic.

We do not provide any refunds if the price for a Paid Subscription drops, or if we offer subsequent promotional pricing or change the content or features of a Service Plan. Paid Subscriptions purchased through other platforms are subject to the refund policies of those platforms. Spinach cannot be held responsible for these platforms’ policies.

Please note that in the event you purchase a Spinach subscription, you are legally obliged to pay the invoice. This means that if you have not paid the invoice, but you have used our products/services, you are legally bound to pay the invoice

Your right to withdraw is revoked as soon as your subscription is activated, as activation immediately initiates full access to the features specified in the subscription. These features constitute our digital content.

5.2. Upgrades and downgrades

You may at any time upgrade or downgrade your Paid Subscription to a different Service Plan: Paid Subscriptions – monthly:
If you have downgraded your monthly Paid Subscription to a lower Service Plan, such downgrade will take effect on the day after the last day of the current subscription period. If you have upgraded your monthly Paid Subscription to a higher Service Plan, such upgrade will take effect immediately subject to payment of the upgrade fee. Paid Subscriptions – Pre-paid Period:
If you have downgraded your Paid Subscription to a lower Service Plan during the Pre-paid Period, such downgrade will take effect on the date of renewal (i.e. the day after the last day of the Pre-paid Period). If you have upgraded your Paid Subscription to a higher Service Plan during the Pre-paid Period, such upgrade will take effect immediately subject to payment of the upgrade fee and you will automatically enter into a new Pre-paid Period with the same duration as the preceding Pre-paid Period.

5.3. Taxes

Prices listed may not include sales or value added tax and applicable tax may be calculated and added at the time you complete a transaction and, depending on where you have purchased your Paid Subscription, such tax may not be visible to you until you receive a receipt for your purchase. In certain jurisdictions, local laws require that prices include all applicable taxes, in which case this will be indicated at the time of the transaction.

6. Licensed rights

The Spinach Service and the Resources are the property of Spinach or Spinach’s licensors. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, revocable license to make use of the Spinach Service for non-commercial, educational and/or entertainment use of the Service (the “License”).

You promise and agree that you are using the Services and the Resources for non-commercial, educational and/or entertainment purposes and that you will not broadcast the Services or the Resources.

The Spinach Service is based on user content and relies on users contributing content to the Service, including without limitation quizzes, pictures, video, text, messages, information, user feedback and any other content (“User Content”). You hereby grant to Spinach a perpetual (or, for as long as permitted under applicable law), non-exclusive, sub-licensable, transferable, royalty-free, irrevocable, fully paid, universal license to commercialize, use, reproduce, make available to the public (e.g. perform or display), publish, translate, modify, create derivative works from, and distribute any of your User Content you have made available to the public in connection with the Service through any medium, whether alone or in combination with other content or materials, in any manner and by any means, method or technology, whether now known or hereafter created. Aside from the rights specifically granted herein, you retain ownership of all rights, including intellectual property rights, in the User Content.

You promise that, with respect to any User Content you post on Spinach, (1) you have all rights necessary to upload such User Content to the Spinach Service and to grant the above license to Spinach, and (2) such User Content, or its use by Spinach as contemplated by the Agreements, does not violate the Agreements, applicable law, or the intellectual property (including without limitation copyright), publicity, personality, or other rights of others or imply any affiliation with or endorsement of you or your User Content by Spinach or any rights holder without express written consent from such individual or entity. Spinach may review, monitor, edit or remove User Content in our sole discretion, but is under no obligation to do so.

Removal or disabling of access to User Content shall be at our sole discretion, and we do not promise to remove or disable access to any specific User Content.
You are solely responsible for all User Content that have published on Spinach. Spinach does not endorse the correctness of the User Content or any opinion contained in any User Content. You will, to the greatest possible extent permissible under applicable law, indemnify and hold Spinach and its licensors harmless from and against any third party claim asserting that the User Content violates any third party rights or applicable laws, regulations or legal requirements anywhere in the world, including any loss, costs and expenses arising out of such third party claim.

9. DMCA and User Content reporting

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the “DMCA”) provides recourse for copyright owners who believe that material appearing on the Internet infringes their rights under U.S. copyright law. If you believe in good faith that material available in the Service infringes your copyright, you (or your agent) may send to Spinach a written notice by mail or e-mail, requesting that Spinach removes such material or blocks access to it. If you believe in good faith that someone has wrongly filed a notice of copyright infringement against you, the DMCA permits you to send to Spinach a counter-notice. Notices and counter-notices must meet the then-current statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA. See http://www.copyright.gov/ for details. Notices and counter-notices must be sent in writing to Asmund Furuseth as follows: By mail to Asmund Furuseth, Spinach AS, Tordenskiolds gate 2, 0160 Oslo, Norway ; or by e-mail to asmund@Spinach.com. Asmund Furuseth’s phone number is +47 95764641. We suggest that you consult your legal advisor before filing a DMCA notice or counter-notice. Please note that Spinach may, in appropriate circumstances, terminate or suspend users and accountholders who are repeat infringers.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Spinach may in its sole discretion take such actions as it deems fit in order to protect the intellectual property rights of any intellectual property owner, including but not limited to removing User Content. If you believe that any Resources do not comply with the Acceptable Use, feel free to report this to Spinach support desk.
