Subscriptions
and Payments
We provide users of Qissatec
with access to its services under various types of subscriptions, each subject
to specific financial terms depending on the nature of the service.
Subscriptions are divided into three categories:
a) First Category: Users may access certain basic features of the
platform free of charge for the purpose of viewing content or browsing
published stories, without being able to interact, participate, or upload any
content.
b) Second Category: A free membership may be granted to a user if their
employer, company, or affiliated entity has entered into a group subscription
agreement with the platform on their behalf, granting them access to services
or features provided by Qissatec. The subscribing entity bears full
financial responsibility for the subscription fees, while the user undertakes
to use the account solely for the authorized purpose and not to transfer or
share their login credentials with others.
c) Third Category: Users who purchase paid subscription packages are
granted access to additional services or features within the platform at the
prices announced at the time of purchase (on the
“Subscriptions” page). Payments shall be made using the payment methods
available on the platform, such as bank cards, electronic payment systems like
Apple Pay, Google Pay, or any other payment methods we may adopt in the future.
The user acknowledges that all
amounts paid for services are final and non-refundable unless the platform
explicitly states otherwise or the service is canceled by the platform for
operational or regulatory reasons. The platform reserves the right to amend
subscription prices, features, or conditions at any time, provided that users
are notified in accordance with the procedure set out under the “Notices and Communications” clause.
The user bears sole responsibility
for ensuring the accuracy and currency of their payment details and for
maintaining sufficient balance when making any purchase or renewing a
subscription. The platform shall not be held liable for any delay or failure in
payment processing caused by a bank, payment provider, or technical issue
beyond the platform’s control.
The user may cancel or choose not to
renew their subscription at any time through their account settings within the
platform. The subscription shall remain active until the end of the prepaid
period, without any entitlement to a refund. The platform reserves the right to
suspend or terminate any subscription in the event of a violation of these
Terms or any related policies, without incurring any financial liability toward
the user.
Paid subscriptions automatically
renew upon expiry unless the user cancels the renewal through their account
settings prior to the next renewal date. Failure to cancel the renewal
constitutes the user’s express consent to continue automatic deductions through
the registered payment method. The platform shall bear full responsibility in
the event that amounts are charged after a properly executed and verified
cancellation by the user.

We retain all intellectual property
rights related to the platform and its services -including but not limited
