  1. Payment Terms.

    1. Subscriptions. The Sturfee VPS is billed on a subscription basis (hereinafter referred to as a “Subscription”) based on the Subscription level you select on our website, www.Sturfee.com (“Sturfee Website” and, each Subscription level, a “Subscription Plan”). You agree to pay to Sturfee the Subscription fees for the calendar month or other period specified in the Subscription Plan you purchase or use (the “Fee Accrual Period”), in accordance with the pricing and payment terms presented to you for that Subscription Plan. Sturfee offers a basic Subscription Plan without charge and, in some cases, for a limited period of time or only to new users, Sturfee may offer other Subscription Plans at a discount or without charge, in each case in Sturfee’s sole discretion.

    2. Pricing. Sturfee may vary the fees charged for Subscriptions at any time, provided that, for the fees billed for a Subscription during a Fee Accrual Period, the change will become effective only at the end of the then-current Fee Accrual Period of your Subscription. Sturfee will provide you with reasonable prior written notice of any change in fees to give you an opportunity to cancel your Subscription before the change becomes effective.

    3. Billing. At the end of the applicable Fee Accrual Period, Sturfee will issue a bill to you for all charges based on your Subscription. You will continue to be billed until you cancel your Subscription by activating the “Cancel” button indicated in your Account.

    4. Refunds. Subscription fees are non-refundable, except as provided in this Agreement or when required by applicable law.

    5. Taxes. Unless otherwise stated, you are responsible for any taxes or duties associated with your Subscription, including any related penalties or interest (collectively, “Taxes”). Subscription fees are calculated and due without any reduction for Taxes. If Sturfee is obligated to collect or pay Taxes, the Taxes will be invoiced to you unless you provide Sturfee with a timely and valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority. In some states the sales tax is due on the total purchase price at the time of sale and must be invoiced and collected at the time of the sale. If you are required by applicable law to withhold any Taxes from your payment to Sturfee, you must provide Sturfee with an official tax receipt or other appropriate documentation to support such withholding.

    6. Currency. You shall pay the full amount invoiced in the currency set forth in your bill.

    7. Other Expenses. Any and all expenses, costs and charges incurred by you in the performance of your rights and/or obligations under this Agreement shall be paid by you.

  2. Data Privacy. Sturfee only collects sensor and picture data when Your App communicates with the Sturfee VPS. Sensor data includes (i) GPS reading (ii) IMU sensor reading (iii) Camera intrinsic parameters such as focal length and focal point. Picture data consists of a sequence of images captured by the camera during the server request. Sturfee does not associate this information with any personally identifiable information such as, but not limited to, the End User’s device or IP address. Sturfee retains this anonymous sensor and picture data to provide and improve the Sturfee VPS. You will ensure that Your use, and End User’s use of the Sturfee VPS in Your App will comply with applicable privacy laws.
