Personal Subscription Plan
(a) Individual License - If you choose or purchase a Packt individual subscription plan, Packt grants you, and you alone, a non-exclusive, non-transferable license (“Individual License”) to use the Site for the subscription term length set forth during Checkout (the “Initial Individual Term”) in strict accordance with these Terms of Use for non-commercial home or personal use only. If you purchase a “monthly” plan, your Initial Individual Term is one month from the date of purchase, whereas the purchase of an “annual” plan results in a one year Initial Individual Term. Any renewal of the Initial Individual Term (or a Renewal Individual Term), whether such renewal occurs by way of your Automatic Individual Renewal, Checkout, or otherwise, shall be deemed a “Renewal Individual Term”, and together with the Initial Individual Term, the “Individual Term”, as applicable.
(b) Individual License free trial - If you took a personal Subscription with a ‘free trial’, you may cancel the Subscription at any time before the trial period expires. Unless you cancel prior to the end of the free trial period, your Subscription will automatically continue as a paid-for Subscription.
(c) Individual License Fee - Packt’s grant of the Individual License is expressly conditioned on timely payment of the then-applicable license fee for the Individual Plan in the amount and on the billing frequency (e.g., monthly, annually) selected and set forth during Checkout (“Individual License Fee”). We may include a separate charge for any applicable sales, use, value-added, or excise taxes, and any other similar taxes, duties or charges of any kind, other than taxes on Packt’s income, imposed by any local governmental entity on any amounts payable by you under these Terms of Use. We will remit taxes collected, if any, to the appropriate taxing authority.
i. Automatic Individual Renewal BY REGISTERING FOR, SUBSCRIBING TO, OR PURCHASING AN INDIVIDUAL PLAN AND PROVIDING BILLING INFORMATION DURING CHECKOUT, YOU GRANT US AND OUR AUTHORIZED THIRD-PARTY PAYMENT PROCESSOR(S) THE RIGHT TO PROCESS PAYMENT FOR YOUR INDIVIDUAL LICENSE FEE VIA THE DEBIT CARD, CREDIT CARD, OR PAYPAL® ACCOUNT YOU PROVIDED DURING CHECKOUT OR MAINTAIN ON YOUR ACCOUNT (your “Individual Payment Method”). YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT AT THE END OF EACH INDIVIDUAL TERM WE WILL AUTOMATICALLY RENEW YOUR INDIVIDUAL PLAN FOR THE SAME LENGTH OF TERM AND PROCESS YOUR INDIVIDUAL PAYMENT METHOD FOR PAYMENT OF THE INDIVIDUAL LICENSE FEE AT THE THEN-APPLICABLE PRICE FOR AN INDIVIDUAL PLAN (said process, “Automatic Individual Renewal”). If you choose to be billed “monthly”, we will process your Automatic Individual Renewal on or near the same day of each month. If you choose to be billed “annually”, we will process your Automatic Individual Renewal on or near the same day of each year. If payment is not received within such time period, or if we are unable to renew your Individual Plan based on inaccurate or outdated Individual Payment Method information, we may suspend or terminate your Individual Plan, at our sole discretion. For Individual Plans, there is no ability to disable Automatic Individual Renewal other than cancellation. See Subscription FAQs for more details.
ii. Individual Plan Refund Policy - All portions of the Individual License Fee, whether paid monthly or annually, are completely non-refundable. Exceptions for extenuating circumstances may be considered by emailing subscription.support@packt.com ; however, subject to the subsequent paragraph, we are in no way obligated to refund you any portion of the Individual License Fee.
If you are not completely satisfied, you may cancel your subscription (having chosen any method of payment) at any time during the first 14 days by contacting
subscription.support@packt.com and we will give you a full refund.
Business Plans
a) Business License(s) - If you choose or purchase a Packt business subscription plan during Checkout or in a separate Packt-provided sales order (each, a “Sales Order”), which includes any of the business plan offerings set forth on the Pricing Page (each, a “Business Plan”), Packt grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable license (“Business License”) to use the Site for the subscription term length set forth during Checkout or a Sales Order (the “Initial Business Term”) in strict accordance with these Terms of Use. Any renewal of the Initial Business Term (or a Renewal Business Term), whether such renewal occurs by way of your Automatic Business Renewal, Checkout, a renewal Sales Order, or otherwise, shall be deemed a “Renewal Business Term”, and together with the Initial Business Term, the “Business Term”, as applicable.
(b) Individual Business Subscriptions - The Business License allows a specific number of your employees or affiliate employees to register as Packt users (each, a “Business User”) and receive access to the Site by way of your Business License. Each Business User must be designated by the business purchasing the Business License or by such business’s designated Company Administrator, after which each Business User will be provisioned unique Account Information to register for a Packt account and receive access to use the Site through an individual single-use business subscription (an “Individual Business Subscription”). Each Individual Business Subscription is to be used solely by the named Business User and for the internal purposes of the business provisioning the Business License. Each Individual Business Subscription may not be shared amongst Business Users nor may it be shared amongst multiple employees, affiliate employees, contractors, agents, or other individuals.
(c) Business License free trial - In the event that you commence a Business License free trial, should you not cancel prior to the end of the free trial period, these will not automatically continue as a paid for subscription and you and your specified users will lose access to Packt content.
(d) Business License Fee - Packt’s grant of the Business License is expressly conditioned on timely payment of the then-applicable annual license fee in advance for all Individual Business Subscriptions on or added to your Business Plan in the amount and on the billing frequency set forth during Checkout or in a Sales Order (individually, and collectively, the “Business License Fee”).
i. Payment by Debit or Credit Cards, PayPal®, or Third Parties - By registering for, subscribing to, or purchasing a Business Plan and providing billing information during Checkout or otherwise, you grant us and our authorized third-party payment processor(s) the right to process payment for your Business License Fee via the debit card, credit card, PayPal® account, third-party payment provider, or reseller you provide, authorize, or maintain on your Business Plan account (individually, and collectively, “Business Payment Method”).
ii. Automatic Business Renewal - Unless otherwise set forth in Checkout or a Sales Order, YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT AT THE END OF EACH APPLICABLE BUSINESS TERM WE WILL AUTOMATICALLY RENEW YOUR BUSINESS PLAN (INCLUDING ALL INDIVIDUAL BUSINESS SUBSCRIPTIONS ON YOUR BUSINESS PLAN AT THE TIME OF RENEWAL) FOR THE SAME LENGTH OF TERM AND PROCESS YOUR BUSINESS PAYMENT METHOD OR INVOICE FOR PAYMENT OF THE APPLICABLE BUSINESS LICENSE FEE FOR THE RENEWAL BUSINESS TERM AT THE THEN-APPLICABLE PRICE FOR A BUSINESS PLAN
By way of example, if you select 10 Individual Business Subscriptions under a 1-year Business Plan during Checkout beginning July 1st 2019, we will process your Business Payment Method or invoice you for the 1-year cost of 10 Individual Business Subscriptions on the date of your Checkout. Your 10 Individual Business Subscriptions will expire on June 30th 2020 and unless you notify us at least 30 days prior to June 30th 2020, we will renew your Business Plan on or around July 1st 2020 for one year and on or around July 1st each year thereafter for 10 Individual Business Subscriptions at the then-applicable price for such subscriptions.
Should you add five further Individual Business Subscriptions six months into your Initial Business Term you will be charged a pro-rata amount for these subscriptions for the remaining six months of the Initial Business Term. At the point of renewal the total number of Individual Business Subscriptions purchased during the previous year will be renewed for a further 1 year period, in this case a total of 15 Individual Business Licenses.
iii. Suspension Because of Nonpayment - If payment is not received within the required time period, or if we are unable to renew your Business Plan based on inaccurate or outdated Business Payment Method information, we may suspend your access to the Site (including all of your Business Users’ access) until payment is received. In the event we suspend your Business Plan because of nonpayment, no additional time will be added to the then-applicable Business Term.
iv. Taxes - The Business License Fee is exclusive of applicable taxes. When processing your Business Payment Method or invoicing, we may include a separate charge for any applicable sales, use, value-added, or excise taxes, and any other similar taxes, duties or charges of any kind. If your business is UK based we will apply VAT at the prevailing rate upon completion of the checkout. If your business is EU based (except for the UK) and you do not supply a valid VAT number upon completion of checkout we will apply VAT to your order at the applicable rate for your country. If your business is EU based and you provide a valid VAT number upon completion of checkout VAT will be processed on a reverse charge basis. If you are based outside of the UK and EU then you will fall outside the scope of VAT. For the avoidance of doubt, your billing address will be considered the place of supply for indirect tax purposes.
(e) Additional Subscriptions - As a Business Plan subscription holder, you or your Company Administrator may purchase additional Individual Business Subscriptions during the Initial Business Term or any Renewal Business Term, as applicable. The Business Users’ access to the Site by way of the new subscriptions is conditioned upon timely payment of the applicable Business License Fee for each Individual Business Subscription added, which will be prorated for the number of days remaining in your then-current Business Term and paid by your Business Payment Method on file (or invoice), as selected during Checkout. See worked example in (d)ii above.
(f) Designation of Business Users - As a Business Plan subscription holder (depending on your Plan), you may designate one or more of your employees to act as Company Administrator (“Admin”) in relation to your Business Plan. Any Admin you authorize will have the ability to purchase Individual Business Subscriptions and assign and authorize them to your Business Users via the Site’s Business Plan administrative functionalities.
(g) Individual Business Subscription Transfers - You acknowledge and agree that the Individual Business Subscriptions granted under these Terms of Use, via Checkout, and under each Sales Order are specific to the individual Business Users you designate. Except as set forth during Checkout or a Sales Order, the Individual Business Subscriptions granted under these Terms of Use are not transferable to any other individual for any reason, and you will take all commercially reasonable steps to prevent your Business Users from granting access to the Site to any other individuals.
(h) Removing Individual Business Users - As a Business User, should you leave an organisation or be removed from an organisation by the Company Administrator your access to the content will cease immediately. Should you link your Packt for Teams account to a specific email address your reading history, bookmarks and saved titles will remain visible within your account area and carry forward, should you commence a personal subscription or join a new Teams subscription.
(i) Your Marks - As a Business Plan Subscription holder, you agree that we may use your logo and name; provided that such use may be for informational purposes only in marketing efforts, solely for the purpose of identifying you as a customer of Packt, and for no other purpose.
