Subscriptions & Purchases

Parts of the Product provided through the App are accessible on the basis of payment. Below we describe what kinds of paid packages we offer and how payments are handled.

Subscription and Fees

Most of the basic functionality of the Product is offered free of charge, which we refer to as 'Oh Sketch Basic' version of the Product. You may chose to upgrade to one of the plans with premium features and extended functionality of the Product.

If you purchase an upgraded plan based on a one-time payment ('Oh Sketch Pro Lifetime'), you will be charged once via your selected payment method and will receive a lifetime access to features included in the plan.

If you purchase a recurring subscription ('Oh Sketch Pro Cloud') which in addition to upgraded features of 'Oh Sketch Pro Lifetime' offers cloud backup of your data, you will be continuously charged for the duration of the subscription period you select. Such subscription will automatically renew for another subscription period until canceled.
Subscriptions may be available on the basis of a monthly or yearly payment, which will determine your subscription period.

Payment terms

Your use of the Product may require you to pay fees. We reserve a right to determine the pricing of the Product and offer promotional offers to any of the users at our sole discretion. These promotional offers, unless made to you, will not apply to your offer or these Legal Terms. We will make a reasonable effort to keep pricing information in the App up-to-date.

Before you are charged, you will have an opportunity to review and accept the applicable fees. You authorise us and our third party payment processors to charge all sums for the orders that you make and any version of the Product you select as described in these Legal Terms,  including all applicable taxes.

When activating a subscription model, you authorise us and our third party payment processors to periodically charge, on a going-forward basis and until cancellation of either the subscription or your account, all accrued sums on or before the payment due date for the accrued sums. Your account will be charged automatically on the date when you purchase your first subscription to the Product ('Subscription Billing Date'), as applicable, and on each recurring billing date thereafter.

Payment methods

You may purchase an upgraded plan through a third party, such as the Apple App Store or Google Play, depending on your device. Unless otherwise specified, purchases done via Apple App Store and Google Play are also subject to respective third-parties’ terms and conditions, which, in case of any inconsistency or conflict, shall always prevail upon these Terms. You must therefore read such terms and conditions of sale carefully and accept them.
Unless otherwise indicated, you are required to provide a credit card or other payment method that the third party through which you purchased the Product, accepts, to pay the applicable fee for your purchase. Such third party will charge the payment method you’ve chosen a one-time payment or a subscription fee with all applicable taxes respectively.

Cancellation & Refunds

You must cancel your subscription before it renews in order to avoid billing for the next subscription period.
For subscriptions purchased through App Store you can cancel the auto-renewal by viewing your Apple ID in iTunes or the App Store and then selecting the “Subscriptions” option. For subscriptions purchased through Google Play Store you can find the cancellation option in your Google Play Store account.
