2 Changes to the Agreements

These Agreements are subject to change at any time, but when they do, the Service Provider will inform You within an appropriate time frame either via the App, Portal or by email You have provided. After the Service Provider has given a notice about the change in the Agreements, in some cases, Your continued usage of the application will serve as an acceptance of the changes. So please make sure to read any new version of the Agreements.

3 Using Dized

3.1 Our Services, purchasing Content and payment

Downloading, and using the App is free of charge (possible operator fees not taken into account). Rules and Tutorials are free to access, but the Service Provider retains the right to show advertisements on these contents. This includes, but is not limited to, banner and video ads. Accessing such a Content does not require any form of monetary payment.

The removal of advertisements and accessing Paid Content can be done through Dized+ subscription, in-app purchases, or other similar methods. For the different Contents within Dized, it is important to notice that they might be subject to other terms and conditions, in which for example the age requirements might be different, and must be separately agreed on.

You are able to purchase subscription and digital rights to your Dized account for specific Contents in the Dized Platform and these are governed by these Agreements. Any, for example, sale or promotional code provided to you by a 3rd party might be subject to different or additional terms and conditions that are associated with the 3rd party platform or promotion. 

When You provide payment information or other payment method to Dized for a purchase, you assure that you are the authorized user of this specific payment method, and that you authorize Dized (or a 3rd party operator such as Apple, Google or Stripe) to charge your payment method for the amount. This payment might include sales taxes, VAT and other applicable fees and/or taxes. You are solely responsible for any purchases made with your Dized account.

3.2 Refund and Right of withdrawal

Any purchase done in Dized is eligible for refund for 14 days after purchase, without giving any specific reason. To exercise the right you have to contact Dized via email ([email protected]). To meet the deadline, please contact us before the withdrawal period has ended. If You are eligible for a refund, we will reimburse you all payments received from you without any significant delay, and no later than 14 days after the request has been processed. We (or a 3rd party operator such as Apple, Google or Stripe) will reimburse using the same means of payment you used originally, unless otherwise agreed. There will be no additional fees as a result of the reimbursement. Note, any codes and digital purchases done through some 3rd party services not affiliated with Dized, might not fall under this Right of Withdrawal contract.

3.2 Trials, promotions and limited-time free content

The Service Provider might offer Paid Content as free from time to time as part of campaigns, promotions or free-trial periods. The Service Provider is free to end and withdraw these promotions at their own discretion. The Paid Content that is offered for free and activated on the Your account will remain on that account (unless otherwise stated). However any features or Content that were downloaded as a free-trial can be removed or disabled from the users and can no longer be used until the Paid Content is purchased. Such limitations are openly announced when announcing these promotions. (E.g. free weekend for X.) If publishers or partners other than the Service Provider offer any such Paid Content within Dized – as parts of promotions, competitions, gifts or similar, different terms and agreements might apply to these and they are separately announced. 

Trial periods may be subscription based and in this case the Service Provider may require You to provide payment details to access it. If this is the case, then after the mentioned trial period ends the Service Provider may automatically charge You a subscription payment for the mentioned Content. The subscription payment information will be clearly shown when starting the trial and reminded about well in time before the trial ends. You can cancel Your trial and thus subscription at any time during the trial period from the App or by terminating Your account. If You do not, then the Service Provider will charge You monthly for the mentioned subscription fee, which You can cancel at any time before your next monthly payment. The Service Provider will not refund any fees that have already been paid for.

4 Rights and restrictions when using Dized

The Platform is the property of the Service Provider. Content published within the Platform may be property of third-parties and other companies. Such information will be indicated in the Content itself. You are allowed to use the App as you wish for personal and for limited commercial use. Limited commercial use means that You are allowed to use the basic version of the application to demonstrate Your products in fairs and in shops without special permission. You are not however allowed to sell the App or the Content within, nor distribute any such Content outside of the application in a way that it will harm the Service Provider’s business. For example, it’s acceptable to show parts of Dized tutorials in (streaming) video services, if they do not harm the Service Provider’s business and if they’re accompanied with relevant information where the Content is from. But it’s important to note that most of the Content in Dized belongs to third parties, so distributing this Content (in for example YouTube) may have separate restrictions by the owner of the copyright. 

Your personal account is only meant for Your personal use. You are not allowed to share Your account with others. Violating this by sharing Your account info can lead to a temporary suspension of Your account or in extreme cases, a permanent removal of the account. Any purchases done to such an account will not be reimbursed. 

You are not allowed to sell Your personal account nor the Content within unless expressly permitted by this Agreement or by Law. 

An organization account can be managed by anyone who the account manager or administrator of the organization deems fit and gives access to, the Service Provider does not take any responsibility over abuse or consequences that might happen due to giving access to a wrong user. 

The Service Provider and any organizations that have Content published in Dized retain their rights for that Content even after it’s installed on computers, tablets, mobile devices or similar. All Dized trademarks, names, logos, domains and such are sole property of the Service Provider. Any aforementioned copyrighted material within Dized might be property of a third-party. You are not allowed to use any of such copyrighted content for commercial or non-commercial use without an explicit permission.

5 Third Party Applications

Any possible third party applications and software running within the Platform, that are not created by the Service Provider, might have their own terms and privacy policies. You agree that the Service Provider is not liable for the behavior, operation, transactions or content of such applications. Any agreements you enter with these third party operators are not liable by the Service Provider. If these third party software do not fall under the Agreements you have to approve a separate third party license terms agreement to use such content.

6 User-Generated Content

While most of the Content creation to Dized is done in the Portal and a separate agreement governs it, as a user You might get an approval from an owner of an organization account that allows you to create, modify and upload Content to the Portal. Any Content created or uploaded under an organization account will fall under the Publishing Agreement approved by the owner of that account. 

You are solely responsible for any content You create and/or upload to the Platform and the Service Provider will hold no responsibility over this. In some cases You might also be held responsible for any content that is created/uploaded to Your organization account in Dized Portal by an user authorized by You. 

You warrant the Service Provider that You have sufficient rights to all the assets You upload to the Platform. This includes without limitation any kind of intellectual property or proprietary rights. You are also responsible that Your submission does not violate any applicable contract, law or regulation, and that Your Content adheres to the current Dized hardware and software specifications. 

You are not allowed to use Dized Portal or any Dized services for anything else than what the service is intended to. Such disallowed usage includes, but is not limited to, using Dized Portal or any other Dized services as Your personal or commercial cloud storage.

7 Rights you grant us

You will grant the Service Provider the right to allow Dized to use the processor, bandwidth and storage of Your device that You have installed the application on. Other rights will be asked upon installing the application (such as camera access).

If You consent to having Push Messages from Dized on Your device, You will also grant the Service Provider the right to send them on messaging relating to Dized or its content. 

If You provide the Service Provider any ideas, feedback, suggestions, concepts, or content (excluding the Dized Portal) You accept that the input You provided is not confidential and You will authorize the Service Provider to use such data without restriction and without any payment unless otherwise agreed on by a verifiable method. This authorization grants a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, irrevocable and worldwide license to use content as referred above in any way the Service Provider sees fit and in any chosen medium. Also You will agree that the Service Provider will not need to identify such content as created by You. If by any chance the Service Provider deems Your username or other credentials unfit or necessary to reclaim, You will grant us the right to do so.

9 Service limitations and modifications

A service like Dized might have some operational interruptions due to, for example, regular updates and patches. The Service Provider will try to make all necessary efforts to keep the Dized and the Dized Portal services running. The Service Provider reserves the right to disable functions and services permanently or in short term if deemed necessary. The Service Provider will inform You about these considerable changes appropriately and in time, when possible. 

You authorize Dized to provide regular smaller updates and upgrades to the Platform that must be applied for You to be able to continue using Dized as intended. You might not even be able to continue using the service without applying an update for it through the online store from which you have installed the Platform from (such as Google Play Store or Apple App Store). Updates on the Web service are applied automatically. These updates are commonly offered without prior notification. 

If You have a Dized+ subscription that the Service Provider will have to cancel due to changes in service, the Service Provider will compensate You these subscription payments for the time that is left in the subscription. 

There might be cases where either the Service Provider or a third-party company will be forced to pull out, heavily modify and/or remove Content without notice. 

If You have purchased Content that is removed from the Dized App, it shall remain on Your device and personal account unless otherwise stated. 

However, if such Content is breaking any laws, Agreements or the Publishing Agreement, and the Service Provider needs to remove it from the Platform, the removal might extend to users’ libraries as well. Any reimbursement in such a case will be considered case-by-case.

You agree and accept that the Service Provider doesn’t have the obligation to update, support and maintain all or any specific Content.

10 Dized support and customer support

Terminating Your account can be considered as terminating these Agreements. To terminate Your account please contact the Service Provider.
