The receiving party may disclose the disclosing party’s Confidential Information to its employees, affiliates, consultants, subcontractors, agents, or advisors (collectively known as “Representatives”) who have a strict need to access the Confidential Information for the purpose of performing under these Terms and only to those who are obligated to maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information under terms that are at least as protective as the terms set forth in these Terms.

6.4 Compelled Disclosure. The receiving party may access and disclose Confidential Information of the disclosing party if legally required to do so in connection with any legal proceeding or regulatory requirement; provided, however, that in such event the receiving party will, if lawfully permitted to do so. The receiving party will provide only that portion of the Confidential Information that is legally required to be disclosed, and any Confidential Information so disclosed shall maintain its confidentiality protection for all purposes other than such legally compelled disclosure.

8.1 The price, features and options of SLEEK Services depend upon the Subscription Plan selected by you.

8.2 Subscription Period is defined as the length of time that the User is committing to engage Sleek Services as per the Subscription Package selected (i.e. Financial Year). For the avoidance of doubt, the Subscription Period is separate from the Subscription payment terms (monthly or upfront yearly).

8.3 8.3 The User shall pay SLEEK in advance the fees set out in the Subscription Package as stated on the Dashboard or the Website for the relevant SLEEK Services it has ordered (“Fees”). If the User has purchased a Subscription Package, SLEEK will automatically renew the User’s subscription 30 days before the end of of the applicable subscription period. Unless the User chooses to cancel its subscription before the end of the applicable subscription period, the User authorises SLEEK to charge the User’s Payment Method (as defined below) for the fees relating to SLEEK’s Services for the renewed subscription.

8.4 The Fees shall be paid through a secure payment process incorporated into our Dashboard or Website, or by electronic invoice, which can be securely paid by credit card, debit card or bank wire. “Payment Method” means a current, valid, accepted mode of payment, as may be updated from time to time, which is provided by the User to SLEEK.

8.5 In the event that any fees are due for SLEEK Services not set out in the Dashboard or the Website, SLEEK shall issue an invoice to User for any such SLEEK Services provided. The User shall pay the fees set out in the invoice for such SLEEK Services on receipt of the invoice issued by SLEEK.

8.6 The User acknowledges and agrees that completion of the online payment process does not constitute SLEEK’s acceptance of a User’s offer to purchase SLEEK Services. SLEEK’s acceptance of User’s order shall take place only on commencement of SLEEK Services that the User ordered from SLEEK.

8.7 SLEEK reserves the right to decline an order for SLEEK Services for any reason and will refund any fees prepaid if an order is declined, provided that no SLEEK Services have been used by the User.

8.8 During the online payment process, the User shall be required to enter their payment details, which are disclosed directly to an independent third-party payments processor.. The User authorises SLEEK to charge the Payment Method associated to the User’s account for payment of any fees due to SLEEK.

8.9 All payments are processed by an independent third-party payment processor. SLEEK excludes all liability for any loss or damage that might arise from the processing of User’s payment information, and the terms of service of that independent third-party payment processor shall apply.

8.10 The User acknowledges and agrees that if, for whatever reason, any payment is reversed or declined, where recurring payments are required, then the User’s liability to SLEEK will automatically be deemed a debt immediately due and payable. Any outstanding payments that a User owes SLEEK shall attract late payment interest of 15% per annum until full payment is received.

8.11 All Fees for any SLEEK Services are exclusive of VAT, sales tax, withholding tax or any other taxes that may be applicable / levied in connection with SLEEK Services.

8.12 If a User does not pay for any SLEEK Services in full and on time then SLEEK reserves the right to either terminate the use of the User Account; and/or suspend and/or terminate the performance of the services forthwith in whole or in part.

8.13 If the User exceeds the prescribed usage of a Subscription Package, SLEEK will inform the User that the existing Subscription Package will be automatically upgraded to a new Subscription Package (“New Subscription Package”). In the event of such upgrade, the fees payable for the New Subscription Package will be changed accordingly. The User’s use of SLEEK’s services will constitute acceptance of the upgrade in subscription package and the fees applicable to the New Subscription Package. Further, the User authorises SLEEK to charge the User’s Payment Method for the fees applicable to the New Subscription Package.

8.14 Refunds by SLEEK will be processed back to the original payment method used in a charge. SLEEK will not refund to a different destination, such as another card or bank account. Refunds to expired or cancelled cards are handled by the customer’s card issuer and, in most cases, credited to the customer’s replacement card. If no replacement exists, the card issuer usually delivers the refund to the customer using an alternate method (for example, check or bank account deposit).
