Terms of service

Last updated: 23 September 2020

Hi and welcome to Frankie

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Frankie website, apps, APIs, and widgets (the “Service”) of Hiplee Limited, NZ Company number 6657353, which also conducts business as "Frankie", (here after referred to as “Hiplee” and/or "Frankie"). Please read these Terms carefully - and contact us if you have any questions - as they affect your legal rights, including an agreement to resolve any disputes that may arise between us by arbitration on an individual basis instead of by class actions or jury trials.

By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms, our Privacy Policy, our Cookies Policy and our Community Guidelines. If you do not agree with any term or condition set forth below, you are not authorized to use the Service for any purpose.

Frankie reserves the right to modify the Terms of Service from time to time without prior notice, effective upon posting an updated version of this Terms of Service on the Service or Site. You are responsible for regularly reviewing this Terms of Service. Continued use of the Service after any such modifications to the Terms of Service shall constitute your consent to such modifications.

Our service

Frankie helps e-commerce merchants enjoy greater success by converting browsers into buyers. To do that, we provide a range of applications.  To provide our Service we need to be able to identify your e-commerce site and information about it’s products and customers.

You can use Frankie

You may use a Frankie Service only if you can legally form a binding contract with Frankie , and only in compliance with these Terms and all applicable laws. When you create your Frankie account, you must provide us with accurate and complete information. You warrant that you are a human, and not a computer service or automated “bot”. Any use or access by anyone under the age of 13 is not allowed. If you’re based in the EEA, you may only use Frankie if you are over the age at which you can provide consent to data processing under the laws of your country or if verifiable parental consent for your use of Frankie has been provided to us. Using Frankie may include downloading software to your computer, phone, tablet, or other device. You agree that we may automatically update that software, and these Terms will apply to any updates.

You understand that Frankie uses third party vendors and hosting partners to provide the necessary hardware, software, networking, storage, and other technology required to run the Service. If your bandwidth usage on the Service significantly exceeds the average bandwidth usage of the Service, as determined by Frankie, we reserve the right to limit your bandwidth to the Service.

Our license to you
Subject to these Terms and our policies (including our Community Guidelines), we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and revocable license to use our Service.

Enjoying Frankie

We also collect some information automatically:

Payments, Refunds, Upgrading / Downgrading

Frankie may bill you directly or via a third party (e.g., Shopify).

If being billed directly, a valid credit card is required for paying accounts. A valid credit card must be added to your account via the Account > Billing page. Your credit card statement will show a payment to “Frankie”.

There is no charge for the Free Service. The Premium Service is billed in advance every month and is non-refundable. However, Frankie will charge your credit card a prorated amount for any upgrade or downgrade in plan level.

There will be no refunds or credits for partial months of service, upgrade/downgrade refunds or refunds for months unused with an open account.

Downgrading your Service may cause the loss of Content, features, or capacity of your Account. Frankie does not accept any liability for such loss.

The Premium free trial will begin the day the Premium account is opened and will end when the trial period has ended.

Cancelling your Account

Frankie accounts can be cancelled in the app by the user at anytime by completing the cancellation process. This will mean:

We provide no guarantee that your content can be recovered once your account is cancelled. We are not liable for any loss or damage following, or as a result of, cancellation of your account, and it is your responsibility to ensure that any content or data which you require is backed-up or replicated before cancellation.

Frankie may terminate or suspend your right to access or use the Service for any reason on appropriate notice. We may terminate or suspend your access immediately and without notice if we have a good reason, including any violation of our Community Guidelines. Upon termination, you continue to be bound by these Terms.

Security

We care about the security of our users. While we work to protect the security of your account and content, Frankie can’t guarantee that unauthorized third parties won’t be able to defeat our security measures. We ask that you keep your password secure. Please notify us immediately of any compromise or unauthorized use of your account.
