Terms of service

Welcome to Aviumtechnologies

Thank you for using our platform. This website and platform ("Services") are provided by Aviumtechnologies ("us", "we", or "our"). By using Aviumtechnologies or accessing any of our Services, you are agreeing to the following terms. Please read them carefully and contact us if you have any questions.

Accounts

When you create an account on Aviumtechnologies, you are fully responsible for maintaining its security and any activities that occur under your account. Please, use a "strong" password (or authenticate via a third-party) to ensure that your private information is safe. We cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with the above requirements.

Content

You are solely responsible for all the content you create using our Services. We may review content to determine whether it violates our policies, and we may remove content in those cases. But that does not necessarily mean that we review content, so please don't assume that we do.

Fees, Payments and Refunds

Aviumtechnologies reserves the right to require payment for licence fees for any of our Services. Licences are renewed manually by you. This means that your licences will not be automatically renewed by us. The prices may be changed at any time, upon thirty (30) day prior notice to you, which may be sent by email or posted on the website. Your use of the Services following such notification constitutes your acceptance of any new or increased charges. Any monthly fees paid hereunder are non-refundable and non-cancelable. Annual fees are eligible for a partial pro-rated refund. Downgrading your licence may cause the loss of features, or capacity of your Account. Aviumtechnologies does not accept any liability for such loss.

Trials & Discounts

Any trial or reduced pricing (discount) must be used within the specified time. If you do not have a licence, after the trial period you would not be able to use the Service. We reserve the right to limit you to one free trial or a single discount as well as to prohibit the combination of trials, discounts, and other offers (such as inviting friends). Discounts accumulated through inviting friends cannot be exchanged, refunded, replaced or redeemed for cash. All discounted fees are non-refundable and non-cancelable.

Cancellation

If you no longer need our Service, you can keep or terminate your account. If you keep your account licences will remain active until they expire. Once licences expire you would not be able to use the Service unless you subscribe again. Expired licences are not renewed automatically and you would not be billed automatically.

Termination

Aviumtechnologies, in its sole discretion, has the right to terminate your account for any reason at any time. Such termination of the Services will result in the deactivation or deletion of your account and the forfeiture and relinquishment of all content in your account. In such cases, you are not eligible for any refunds. If you wish to terminate your account, you may do so through the Account page.

Privacy

Your personal information and content is governed by our Privacy Policy. By using Aviumtechnologies, you agree to our Privacy Policy.

Limited Warranties and Liability

Aviumtechnologies does not make any warranty about the reliability of the Services and does not guarantee the security of user data despite best efforts. The Service is provided "AS IS" and you agree to not hold us responsible nor to seek indemnification for any damages that may arise as a result of the loss of use, data, or profits connected to the performance of the Services or failure in such performance.

Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of Bulgaria, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of those rights. If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable by a court, the remaining provisions of these Terms will remain in effect. These Terms constitute the entire agreement between us regarding our Service, and supersede and replace any prior agreements we might have between us regarding the Service.

Changes

We reserve the right to modify these terms at any time. If a revision is material, we will try to provide at least 15 days notice prior to any new terms taking effect. What constitutes a material change will be determined at our sole discretion. By continuing to access or use our Service after those revisions become effective, you agree to be bound by the revised terms. If you do not agree to the new terms, please stop using the Service.

Privacy statement

Here at Aviumtechnologies, we consider the protection of your information to be a paramount responsibility that guides our day-to-day behaviors. In our Privacy Policy, we want to transparently convey to you our responsibilities vis-a-vis the information you generate when you use the Aviumtechnologies service (the "Service"). To be clear about the terminology we are using, when we say "personal information" in this Privacy Policy, we mean information that allows someone to identify or contact you, including, for example, your name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, as well as any other non- public information about you that is associated with or linked to any of the foregoing information. When we use the phrase "anonymous information" in this Privacy Policy, we mean information that is not associated with or linked to your personal information. Anonymous information does not enable identification of or contact with individual persons.

Information We Collect and Receive
When you access and use Aviumtechnologies's service, we collect and receive the following kinds of personal information:
1. Account and profile information: When you create your Aviumtechnologies account, you are required to give us certain information (e.g., your name, email address and a password). We may ask for additional information from time to time in order to create a more robust user profile. This additional information is optional.
2. Communications: When you communicate with us by sending us an email, we will collect and store any information that is contained in your communications with us.
We collect the following types of anonymous information:
1. Log data: When you use Aviumtechnologies, our system automatically records information including information that your browser sends whenever you visit a website. This log data may include your Internet Protocol (IP) address, the address of the web page you visited before arriving at Aviumtechnologies, your browser type and settings, the date and time of your request, information about your browser configuration and plug-ins, language preferences, and cookie data.
2. Device information: In addition to log data, we may also collect information about the device on which you are accessing Aviumtechnologies, including what type of device it is, what operating system you are using, device settings, unique device identifiers, and crash data. Whether we collect some or all of this information often depends on what type of device you are using, and its settings.
3. Geo-location information: Wifi and IP addresses received from your browser or device may be used to determine approximate location.
4. Usage data: This is information about how you use the various capabilities and features of the Aviumtechnologies service. We use this information to better understand opportunities to improve the quality of the service we provide to you.
5. Information from partners or other third parties: Aviumtechnologies may receive information from partners or others to help make our own information better or more useful.

Cookie Policy

Aviumtechnologies uses cookies or similar technologies to record log data and otherwise to make your interactions with the Aviumtechnologies service easy and optimally effective. We use both session-based and persistent cookies.

Cookies are small text files sent by us to your computer or other device and from your computer or other device to us, each time you visit our website. They are unique to your Aviumtechnologies account or your browser or app. Session-based cookies last only while your browser or app is open and disappear from your device when you close your browser software or app or turn off your device. Persistent cookies remain on your device after you close your browser or app or turn off your device and last until you or your browser delete them or until they expire.

Some cookies are associated with your Aviumtechnologies account and personal information in order to remember that you are logged in. Other cookies are not tied to your Aviumtechnologies account but are unique and allow us to do site analytics and customization, among other things. If you access Aviumtechnologies through a browser, you can manage your cookie settings there, but if you disable cookies you may not be able to use Aviumtechnologies effectively, or at all.

Aviumtechnologies sets and accesses our own cookies on the Service. In addition, we use third party vendors who set and access their own cookies to assist us with various activities (e.g., we use Google Analytics to help us monitor our website traffic). The use of these cookies by third parties is not covered by our Privacy Policy. We do not have access or control over these cookies. For example, Google Analytics collects only the IP address assigned to you on the date you visit the Service, rather than your name or other personal information. We do not combine the information generated through the use of Google Analytics with your personal information. Although Google Analytics plants a persistent cookie on your web browser to identify you as a unique user the next time you visit the Service, the cookie cannot be used by anyone but Google. Google's ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits to the Service is restricted by the Google Analytics Terms of Use and the Google Privacy Policy.

Compliance and investigations: We reserve the right to use data in connection with suspected inappropriate use, fraud, violations of Aviumtechnologies's Terms of Service, or any other activity that threatens to impede Aviumtechnologies's and/or its users' ability to use the Aviumtechnologies service efficiently and effectively.
3. Communicating with you: We will occasionally send you tailored communications based on information you include in your profile, or your use of the Aviumtechnologies service.

We also will send you service and administrative emails, for which you may not opt out.
We may also use your personal information to create anonymous information records by excluding information that makes the information personally identifiable to you.

Generally, we use anonymous information in statistical analysis to help us analyze patterns in the use of our Service. We may, through our use of cookies, keep you logged into our website, collect your click-stream data, tailor web content to you and personalize your experience on the website. We may also use your anonymous information to improve our internal operations, and notify visitors of updates to our Service.
