PART 1. INTRODUCTION.

Thank you for choosing Touch VPN and Our Services! Before accessing or using our products, please read these Touch VPN Terms of Service (the “Terms” or “Agreement”) carefully. Among other things, the Terms outline in detail what We provide you, Our customers, and each of our rights and obligations pertaining to your access and use of ‘Touch VPN’ apps, products, services, platforms, or other offerings, including any Software (as described below), and any associated documentation (collectively, the “Services”, or individually a “Service”) that We provide through mobile or desktop applications or websites We operate, including https://www.touchvpn.net/. By installing, accessing, or using Our Services, you represent that you have read, understood, and agreed to these Terms, including any applicable policies and additional terms specified herein, which form a binding contract between you and Us.

To help you understand, here is a quick breakdown:

PART 2. COMMERCIAL TERMS

2.1 Subscription. Our Services are generally made available on a subscription basis, which means you subscribe to receive access to Our Services for a set period of time based on your selection at time of enrollment (“Subscription”), which is typically a one month or one year term (“Subscription Term”) in exchange for your payment of the fees that apply to the Subscription Term for the Service you enroll in (“Subscription Fees”). If applicable and you elect to enroll in a Subscription, you will be billed in advance for your Subscription when you enroll, and thereafter on a recurring and periodic basis (“Billing Cycle”). The length of your Billing Cycle will depend on the Subscription or Subscription Term you select at the time of enrollment. You agree to pay the fees applicable for the Subscription that you select. Your applicable Subscription Fee will be identified, in U.S. dollars, at the time of enrollment, and renewal, each as applicable. You authorize Us to automatically charge the Subscription Fees applicable to your Subscription (plus any applicable taxes and fees) to the payment method Our service provider has on file based on your Billing Cycle.

2.2 Automatic Renewals; Cancellation. At the end of each Billing Cycle, your Subscription will automatically renew for an additional Subscription Term at the price or Subscription Fee shown in your account dashboard or otherwise communicated to you by us at the time of renewal (“Renewal Price”), unless: (a) you or We have canceled your Subscription at least one (1) day prior to the commencement of your next Billing Cycle or in accordance with Section 2.4 below, or (b) a fee change is effectuated, in which case We will give you prior notice in accordance with Section 2.6. We will email you in advance to let you know your Subscription is due for renewal and provide the applicable Renewal Price in your account dashboard.

You may cancel your Subscription by contacting us via the customer support email address in your account dashboard, which is support@pango.co as of the Date of Publication (“Support Email”), or by logging into your account to cancel directly. Once We or you have canceled your Subscription, your recurring Subscription Fees for the Services will no longer be charged to the payment method We have on file for your account, and your Subscription will remain active only until the end of the then current Subscription Term. Depending on the specific plan or offer you subscribed to, you may also be eligible for a refund or credit in accordance with the applicable terms set forth herein.

2.3 Plan Switching. In the event you switch your Subscription plan or selection, We will send you an email confirming the plan change, reflect any credit or amount owed due to the difference in changing plans, and the Billing Cycle and Renewal Price for the updated plan. Your plan switch will be effective as of the date shown in your account profile and confirmation email, which will generally be tied to the date you elect to switch your plan.

2.4 Free Trials. We may, from time to time, offer limited period free trial subscriptions to certain Services for a specified time (“Free Trial”) at Our discretion. If We offer you a Free Trial, the specific terms of your Free Trial will be provided to you at signup and/or in the related promotional materials (such as, but not limited to, emails), describing the Free Trial and your use of the Free Trial is subject to your compliance with such specific terms applicable to the Free Trial. Free Trials are only available to users who have not subscribed to a Service in connection with another Free Trial offer in the last 12 months (or other duration as clearly defined by Us in the terms provided during the registration process or applicable promotional materials for the applicable Free Trial offered to you). At any time, and without notice, We reserve the right to (i) modify the terms and conditions of the Free Trial offer, or (ii) cancel such Free Trial offer.

You may be required to enter your billing information to sign up for the Free Trial. If you do enter your billing information when signing up for the Free Trial, you will not be charged by us until the Free Trial has expired (i.e. end of your specified free trial period). You may cancel your Subscription within at least 24 hours prior to the end of your Free Trial through your Service dashboard. Unless you cancel during the aforementioned time frame, you will be automatically enrolled in the type of Subscription you selected at the time of your sign up and be charged the applicable Subscription Fees (plus any applicable taxes and fees). Before charging you at the end of your Free Trial period, We will notify you of the applicable fees.

2.5 Payment Methods. Payment of a Subscription Fee is required to use the Services and a valid payment method is required to process the payment for your Subscription. You shall provide us or Our third-party payment processor with accurate and complete billing information, which may include full name, address, state, zip code, and valid payment method information. By submitting such payment information, you automatically authorize us to charge all Subscription fees incurred through your account to any such payment instruments.

If you purchased from Us, all amounts paid are non-refundable, except as otherwise stated in these Terms or required by applicable law. You further agree to be responsible for any applicable state, federal or other taxes that may be associated with the Services, including sales taxes, along with any transaction fees and currency conversions added by your financial institution and intermediaries.

If the billing method you provide is a credit or debit card (“Payment Card”), you: (a) represent that you are authorized to use such Payment Card; (b) authorize us to charge your Payment Card periodically for the Subscription Fees when due, including upon enrollment for the Services and each subsequent Billing Cycle; (c) agree to keep your Payment Card details valid and current; and (d) agree to pay any processing fees that are charged by the third-party payment processors or Payment Card issuer.
If your Payment Card is declined when We attempt to charge it, We may try to charge it again at a later time. If We do not receive payment, We may suspend or terminate your Subscription.

2.6 Fee Changes. We may change the fees that We charge for the Services at any time, at Our sole discretion, provided that We will give you at least thirty (30) days of prior notice of such changes. Unless otherwise specified in such notice to you, any changes to the Subscription Fees will take effect as of the Billing Cycle immediately following Our notice to you

2.7 Data Charges. You are responsible for any charges that may apply to your use of Our Services, including text messaging and data charges if you access or use the Services on your mobile or other device. If you're unsure what those charges may be, you should ask your mobile operator, internet, or other service provider before using the Services.

2.8 Payment Processors. Your purchases or payment for the Services with Us may be handled by an authorized payment processing partner, service provider, or affiliate of Ours. To find out more on how payment companies process your personal data, please refer to Our Privacy Policy.

2.9 VPN Authorized Resellers. Our Services may be, from time to time, made available through authorized resellers. If you licensed or enrolled in our Services via a reseller, and not with Us directly, the reseller you used controls the billing arrangements between you and such reseller. Should you have any billing or payment related questions, please contact your reseller directly, as any disposition of refunds, if owed, is between you and the reseller you used, and We will not be able to provide you with any refund.

2.10 Advertisements. Some of Our Services are or were available for free, without requiring payment (“Free Service”), and some of Our Services are fee-bearing and require periodic payment depending on your Subscription Term (“Paid Service” or “Premium Service”). If you subscribed to or use a Free Service, we may deliver third-party advertisements (“Advertisements”) to you. If you subscribe to a Paid Service, we will not deliver any Advertisements to you.

If you are using a Free Service, we or the Free Service may deliver Advertisements. You hereby acknowledge and consent that We may deliver Advertisements to overlay a page or as an interstitial. We reserve the right to prevent your access to the Service or continued use thereof if you violate this Agreement, engage in fraud or copyright infringement, or employ an ad-blocking product or other software or mechanism that prevents you from participating in advertising programs, surveys, or other activities that involve delivery of Advertisements or other monetization of the Free Service. For clarity, We do not endorse any information, materials, products, or services contained in or accessible through Advertisements, and the presence of certain Advertisements does not represent or imply our endorsement or support thereof (including the providers of such Advertisement or the content advertised). Accordingly, your correspondence or business dealings with, or participation in promotions of, advertisers found on or through the Service are solely between you and such advertiser. ANY ACCESS AND USE OF ADVERTISEMENTS, INCLUDING ANY INFORMATION, MATERIALS, CONTENT, DATA, PRODUCTS, AND/OR SERVICES ON OR AVAILABLE THROUGH ADVERTISEMENTS IS SOLELY AT YOUR OWN RISK.
