3. Commercial Overview – Rolling Subscriptions
3.1 Term of Agreement. the Agreement shall begin on the Order Date and shall continue for so long as the Customer maintains a Subscription Plan to the Services or the Agreement is otherwise terminated.
3.2 Subscription Fees. Zelt operates a modular subscription structure, referred to as Subscription Plans. The applicable Subscription Fees shall be as specified in the Order Form and based on Zelt’s live pricing structure at the time (found here). Zelt, at its sole discretion, has the right to apply and remove discounts to any Subscription Plan. If a discount is applied, the discount amount and duration will be visible to the Customer in the billing section of the Zelt platform. Only discounts visible here will be applied to the Customer’s Subscription Fees.
Subscription Fees are due and payable from the Order Date. Except in the case of a material breach of the Agreement by Zelt, all Subscription Fees are non-refundable. The Customer’s use of the Services is subject to the feature rights and limitations within the applicable Subscription Plans highlighted here.
The Core Subscription Plan is subject to a minimum number of Seats as well as feature limitations. You acknowledge and agree that if you wish to use additional features you will be required to upgrade your Subscription Plan.
Subscription Fees are calculated based on Seats, with each Active User requiring a Seat. Active Users are considered as such after they have been invited and successfully set a password for their account until their access has been deactivated by the Customer.
Zelt, at its sole discretion, reserves the right to change the price of any Subscription Plan, minimum Seat requirements of any Subscription Plan, feature rights and limitations of any Subscription Plan. If Zelt changes the price or feature rights of a Subscription Plan and it results in the Customer’s Subscription Fees increasing or feature rights decreasing, Zelt will communicate this to the Customer with a notice of at least four weeks to the end of the calendar month. If the Customer wishes to downgrade the applicable Subscription Plan or terminate the agreement because of the pricing change, they can inform Zelt of this (via hello@zelt.app) within this notice period and are eligible to remain on the unchanged price for an additional 3 months. If the Customer does not downgrade their Subscription Plan or terminate the Agreement within this notice period, any changes will be automatically applied to their Subscription Plan.
3.3 Invoicing and Payment. On the Order Date, the Customer will pay the pro-rata amount of the Subscription Fee between the Order Date and the 1st of the following month. A payment card is mandatory before the Customer can purchase a paid Subscription Plan. Zelt will invoice the Customer on the 1st of each month, and payment is taken via the payment card on the Customer’s Zelt account. The Customer can update their payment card at any point within the billing section of Zelt. Zelt reserves the right to change the date without notice at which it collects payment from the Customer. Zelt will provide a VAT invoice to the Customer, which will be emailed to the email address specified within the billing section and stored in Zelt for the Customer’s record. Zelt reserves the right to change the billing method used to charge the Customer. Any changes will be communicated to the Customer ahead of time.
3.4 Overdue Payments. In the case of a non-payment or delinquent payment of any Subscription Fees, which is overdue by 45 days or more, Zelt may, at its sole discretion: (i) suspend Customer access to the Services; (ii) terminate the Agreement or relevant Subscription Plan (iii) continue to provide the Services, for a period solely determined by Zelt, in anticipation of full and prompt payment by Customer.
3.5 Taxes. You are responsible for paying all other taxes assessed with your Subscription. Unless otherwise stated, all prices exclude taxes, fees, duties or different amounts. We will invoice you for such taxes if we believe we have a legal obligation to do so unless you present an exemption certificate acceptable to the taxing authorities.
3.6 Downgrades. You may downgrade any of your Subscription Plans or reduce the number of Active Users at any point during your subscription. If you wish to downgrade your subscription, you should do so within the billing section of Zelt. Any downgrades will take effect from the subsequent month’s billing. If you wish to reduce the number of Active Users, you should do so by deactivating the user within the people directory of Zelt. If the Customer is on a Subscription Plan with a minimum number of Seats, reducing the number of Active Users below the minimum will not result in a decrease in the Subscription Fee. Any reduction in the total Subscription Fee due to the decrease in the number of Active Users will take effect from the subsequent month’s billing. To avoid doubt, if the Customer downgrades or removes Active Users part way through the month, they will not be entitled to any pro-rata refund of their Subscription Fee. Downgrading your Subscription Plan or removing Active Users may cause loss of data, features, or capacity of the Service, and Zelt is not responsible for such loss.
3.7 Effect of Termination. Termination of the Agreement will automatically terminate all active Order Forms, but termination of a single Subscription Plan will not result in termination of the Agreement or any other Order Forms. Upon the termination of the Agreement, or a Subscription Plan, all rights and licenses granted by Zelt to Customer under the Agreement or the applicable Subscription Plan will terminate. Either party’s termination of the Agreement is without prejudice to any other remedies it may have at law or in equity and does not relieve either party of liability for breaches occurring before the effective termination date. Neither party will be liable to the other for damages arising solely from terminating the Agreement in accordance with these terms.
3.8 Termination. the Agreement may be terminated by notice if:
(i) the other party breaches any material term of the Agreement and fails to remedy the breach within thirty (30) days after being given notice thereof or

Upon any termination of the Agreement, Zelt will make all Customer Data available to Customer for electronic retrieval for a period of thirty (30) days. After such period, Zelt may delete all Customer Data and Zelt will have no obligation to Customer to continue storing such Customer Data. If Customer terminates the Agreement for Zelt’s uncured material breach, Zelt will issue the Customer a pro-rata refund of Subscription Fees for Services not provided.
