    1. When you share your contents (“User Contents”) with other people, you understand that they may be able to, on a worldwide basis, use, save, record, reproduce, broadcast, transmit, display User Contents without compensating you. If you do not want others to have that ability, do not use the Services to share User Contents. You represent and warrant that for the duration of these Terms you have (and will have) all the rights necessary for User Contents that are uploaded, stored, or shared on or through the Services and that the collection, use, and retention of User Contents will not violate any law or rights of others. SICS does not own, control, verify, pay for, endorse or otherwise assume any liability for User Contents and cannot be held responsible for User Contents or the material others upload, store or share using the Services.
    2. When you use the Service to share User Contents with other people, you acknowledge that it is your responsibility, as Content owner to ensure that User Contents are fully compliant with data protection regulations applicable in your Territory. This includes (but is not limited to) the compliance with the data protection customer rights, such as editing, modifying and deleting Personal Data included in User Contents.
    3. To the extent necessary to provide the Services to you and others, to protect you and the Services, and to improve SICS products and services, you grant to SICS a worldwide and royalty-free intellectual property license to use User Contents, for example, to make copies of, retain, transmit, reformat, display, and distribute via communication tools User Contents on the Services. If you publish User Contents in areas of the Service where it is available broadly online without restrictions, User Contents may appear in demonstrations or materials that promote the Service. We do not use what you say in your communications, or your documents, photos or other personal files to target advertising to you.

We may also block delivery of a communication (like email) to or from the Services in an effort to enforce these Terms, or we may remove or refuse to publish User Contents for any reason. When investigating alleged violations of these Terms, SICS reserves the right to review User Contents in order to resolve the issue, and you hereby authorize such review. However, we cannot monitor the entire Services and make no attempt to do so.

  1. Using the Services & Support.
    1. You’ll need a SICS account to access many of the Services. Your SICS account lets you sign in to products, websites and services provided by SICS and some SICS partners.
      1. Creating an Account. A SICS account is automatically created for you when you buy a SICS product or service. You agree not to use any false, inaccurate or misleading information when signing up for your SICS account. In some cases, a third party, like your organization or enterprise, may have assigned a SICS account to you. If you received your SICS account from a third party, the third party may have additional rights over your account, like the ability to access or delete your SICS. Please review any additional terms the third party provided you, as SICS has no responsibility regarding these additional terms. If you create a SICS account on behalf of an entity, such as your business or employer, you represent that you have the legal authority to bind that entity to these Terms. You cannot transfer your SICS account to another user or entity. To protect your account, keep your account details and password confidential. You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your SICS account.
      2. Account Use. You must use your SICS account to keep it active. This means you must sign in at least once in a year period to keep your SICS account, and associated Services, active, unless provided otherwise in an offer for a paid portion of the Services. If you don’t sign in during this time, we will assume your SICS account is inactive and will close it for you. If we reasonably suspect that your SICS account is being used by a third party fraudulently (for example, as a result of an account compromise), SICS may suspend your account until you can reclaim ownership. Based on the nature of the compromise, we may be required to disable access to some or all of User Contents. If you are having trouble accessing your SICS account, please send a email to: support@sics.it
      3. Kids and Accounts. By using the Services, you represent that you have either reached the age of “majority” or “legal responsibility” where you live or have valid parent or legal guardian consent to be bound by these Terms. If you do not know whether you have reached the age of majority or “legal responsibility” where you live, or do not understand this section, please ask your parent or legal guardian for help before you create a SICS account. If you are the parent or legal guardian of a minor that creates a SICS account, you accept these Terms on the minor’s behalf and are responsible for all use of the SICS account, or Services, including purchases, whether the minor’s account is now open or created later.
      4. Closing Your Account.
        1. You can cancel specific Services or close your SICS account at any time and for any reason. To close your SICS account, please send a email to: support@sics.it. When you ask us to close your account, we will put it in a suspended state for 90-days just in case you change your mind. After that 90-day period, your account will be closed. Please see section 4(a)(iv)(2) below for a detailed explanation as to what happens when your account is closed. Logging back in during that 90-day period to prolong payment will reactivate your account. To cancel your SICS account please submit a support request to  support@sics.it
        2. If your Services are canceled or your SICS account is closed (whether by you or us), a few things happen. First, your right to use the Services stops immediately and your license to use the software related to the Services ends. Second, we’ll delete Data or User Contents associated with your SICS account or will otherwise disassociate it from you and your SICS account (unless we are required by law to keep it). You should have a regular backup plan as SICS won’t be able to retrieve User Contents or Data once your account is closed. Third, you may lose access to material or products you’ve acquired.
    2. Work or School Accounts. You can sign into certain SICS services with a work or school email address. If you do, you agree that the owner of the domain associated with your email address may control and administer your account, and access and process your data, including the contents of your communications and files. You further agree that your use of the services may be subject to the agreements that SICS has with you or your organization and these terms do not apply. If you use a work or school email address to access Services covered under these Terms, you may be prompted to update the email address associated with your SICS account in order to continue accessing such Services.
    3. Additional Equipment/Data Plans. To use many of the Services, you’ll need an internet connection and/or data/cellular plan. You might also need additional equipment, like a mobile devices, camera or microphone. You are responsible for providing all connections, plans, and/or equipment needed to use the Services and for paying the fees charged by the provider(s) of your connections, plans, and equipment. Those fees are in addition to any fees you pay us for the Services and we will not reimburse you for such fees. Check with your provider(s) to determine if there are any such fees that may apply to you.
    4. Service Notifications. When there’s something important to tell you about a Service you use, we’ll send you Service notifications to the email associated with your SICS account. If you gave us your phone number in connection with your SICS account, then we may send Service notifications to you via SMS (text message), including to verify your identity before registering your mobile phone number. Data or messaging rates may apply when receiving notifications via SMS.
    5. Customer support for the Services is available at https://www.sics.it/en/assistenza/. The Services might not be compatible with software or services provided by third parties, and you are responsible for familiarizing yourself with compatibility requirements.
  1. Using Third-Party Apps and Services.

    The Services may allow you to access or acquire products, services, websites, links, content, material, games or applications from third parties (companies or people who aren’t SICS) (“Third-Party Apps and Services”). Many of our Services also help you find Third-Party Apps and Services, and you understand that you are directing our Services to provide Third-Party Apps and Services to you. These Third-Party Apps and Services may also allow you to store User Contents or Data with the publisher, provider, or operator of the Third-Party Apps and Services. The Third-Party Apps and Services may present you with a privacy policy or require you to accept additional terms of use before you can install or use the Third-Party App or Service. You should review any additional terms and privacy policies before acquiring or using any Third-Party Apps and Services. Any additional terms do not modify these Terms. SICS does not license any intellectual property to you as part of any Third-Party Apps and Services. You agree to assume all risk and liability arising from your use of these Third-Party Apps and Services and that SICS is not responsible for any issues arising out of your use of them. SICS is not responsible for information provided by third parties.

  1. Service Availability.
    1. The Services, Third-Party Apps and Services, or material or products offered through the Services may be unavailable from time to time, may be offered on a limited basis, or may vary depending on your region or device. If you change the location associated with your SICS account, you may need to re-acquire material or applications that were available to you and paid for in your previous region. You agree not to access or use material or Services which are illegal or not licensed for use in the country from which you access or use such material or Services, or to conceal or misrepresent your location or identity in order to access or use such material or Services.
    2. We strive to keep the Services up and running; however, all online services suffer occasional disruptions and outages, and SICS is not liable for any disruption or loss you may suffer as a result. In the event of an outage, you may not be able to retrieve User Contents or Data that you’ve stored. We recommend that you regularly backup User Contents that you store on the Services or store using Third-Party Apps and Services.
  1. Updates to the Services or Software, and Changes to These Terms.
    1. We may change these Terms at any time, and we’ll tell you when we do. Using the Services after the changes become effective means you agree to the new terms. If you do not agree to the new terms, you must stop using the Services, close your SICS account and, if you are a parent or guardian, help your minor child close his or her SICS account.
    2. Sometimes you will need software updates to keep using the Services. We may automatically check your version of the software and download software updates or configuration changes. You may also be required to update the software to continue using the Services. Such updates are subject to these Terms unless other terms accompany the updates, in which case, those other terms apply. SICS isn’t obligated to make any updates available and doesn’t guarantee that we will support the version of the system for which you licensed the software. Such updates may not be compatible with software or services provided by third parties. You may withdraw your consent to future software updates at any time by uninstalling the software.
    3. Additionally, there may be times when we need to remove or change features or functionality of the Service or stop providing a Service or access to Third-Party Apps and Services altogether. Except to the extent required by applicable law, we have no obligation to provide a re-download or replacement of any material or applications previously purchased. We may release the Services or their features in a beta version, which may not work correctly or in the same way the final version may work.
    4. So that you can use material protected with digital rights management (DRM), like some music, movies and more, DRM software may automatically contact an online rights server and download and install DRM updates.
  1. Software License.

    Unless accompanied by a separate SICS license agreement, any software provided by us to you as part of the Services is subject to these Terms.

    1. If you comply with these Terms, we grant you the right to install and use one (1) copy of the software per device on a worldwide basis for use by only one person at a time as part of your use of the Services. The software or website that is part of the Services may include third-party code. Any third-party scripts or code, linked to or referenced from the software or website, are licensed to you by the third parties that own such code, not by SICS. Notices, if any, for the third party code are included for your information only.
    2. Delivered electronically, the Services (including the Software Product) is licensed, not sold, and SICS reserves all rights to the software not expressly granted by SICS, whether by implication, estoppel, or otherwise. The term “Services” (an electronic product) includes all copies of the computer program and its documentation. This license does not give you any right to, and you may not:
      1. circumvent or bypass any technological protection measures in or relating to the software or Services;
      2. disassemble, decompile, decrypt, hack, emulate, exploit, or reverse engineer any software or other aspect of the Services that is included in or accessible through the Services, except and only to the extent that the applicable copyright law expressly permits doing so;
      3. separate components of the software or Services for use on different devices;
      4. publish, copy, rent, lease, sell, export, import, distribute, or lend the software or the Services, unless SICS expressly authorizes you to do so;
      5. transfer the software, any software licenses, or any rights to access or use the Services;
      6. use the Services in any unauthorized way that could interfere with anyone else’s use of them or gain access to any service, data, account, or network;
      7. enable access to the Services or modify any SICS-authorized Services by unauthorized third-party applications.
    3. SICS may at any point in time stop providing any technical support for the Services (including the Software Product), should SICS estimate that the quality of the support it can provide can no longer be guaranteed for one of the following reasons:
      1. the Service was designed and launched to be installed in a software environment which is no longer supported (E.g: Operating system).
      2. the Service was designed and launched to be installed in a hardware environment which is deemed obsolete and incompatible with the Services (E.g: CPU architecture).
  1. Payment Terms.

    If you purchase a Service, then these payment terms apply to your purchase and you agree to them.

    1. Charges. If there is a charge associated with a portion of the Services, you agree to pay that charge in the currency specified. The price stated for the Services excludes all applicable taxes and currency exchange settlements, unless stated otherwise. You are solely responsible for paying such taxes or other charges. We may suspend or cancel the Services if we do not receive an on time, full payment from you. Suspension or cancellation of the Services for non-payment could result in a loss of access to and use of your account and its content. Connecting to the Internet via a corporate or other private network which masks your location may cause charges to be different from those displayed for your actual location. Depending on your location, some transactions might require foreign currency conversion or be processed in another country. Your bank might charge you additional fees for those services when you use a debit or credit card, in such a case please contact your bank for details.
    2. Your Billing Account. To pay the charges for a Service, you will be asked to provide a payment method at the time you sign up for that Service. You can access and change your billing information and payment method on the web site www.sics.it when you make a order. Additionally, you agree to permit SICS to use any updated account information regarding your selected payment method provided by your issuing bank or the applicable payment network. You agree to promptly update your account and other information, including your email address and payment method details, so we can complete your transactions and contact you as needed in connection with your transactions. Changes made to your billing account will not affect charges we submit to your billing account before we could reasonably act on your changes to your billing account.
    3. Billing. By providing SICS with a payment method, you (i) represent that you are authorized to use the payment method that you provided and that any payment information you provide is true and accurate; (ii) authorize SICS to charge you for the Services or available content using your payment method; and (iii) authorize SICS to charge you for any paid feature of the Services that you choose to sign up for or use while these Terms are in force. We may bill you (a) in advance; (b) at the time of purchase; (c) shortly after purchase; or (d) on a recurring basis for subscription Services. Also, we may charge you up to the amount you have approved, and we will notify you in advance of any change in the amount to be charged for recurring subscription Services. We may bill you at the same time for more than one of your prior billing periods for amounts that haven’t previously been processed.
    4. Recurring Payments. When you purchase the Services on a subscription basis (e.g., monthly or annually (as applicable)), you acknowledge and agree that you are authorizing recurring payment, and payments shall be made to SICS by the method you have chosen at the recurring intervals you have agreed to, until the subscription for that Service is terminated by you or by SICS. By authorizing recurring payments, you are authorizing SICS to process such payments as either electronic debits or fund transfers, or as electronic drafts from your designated account (in the case of Automated Clearing House or similar payments), or as charges to your designated account (in the case of credit card or similar payments) (collectively, “Electronic Payments”). Subscription fees are generally billed or charged in advance of the applicable subscription period. If any payment is returned unpaid or if any credit card or similar transaction is rejected or denied, SICS or its service providers reserve the right to collect any applicable return item, rejection or insufficient funds fee and to process any such payment as an Electronic Payment.
    5. e. Automatic Renewal. Provided that automatic renewals are allowed under applicable law, and that no other specific terms have been agreed upon in the Service Offer you accepted, all SICS subscriptions renew for an additional 1 year Term, unless SICS receives notice of Customer’s intent not to renew at least 30 days before the end of the Term or Renewal Term. Should the price of your service change for the next Term, SICS will notify you of this in accordance with section 9(k). Once we have notified you about applicable price changes, we will automatically renew your Services at the end of the current Term and charge you the then current price for the renewal term, unless you have chosen to cancel the Services.
    6. Online Statement and Errors. SICS will provide you with an billing statement sent to the email associated with your SICS account. This is the only billing statement that we provide. If we make an error on your bill, you must tell us within 90-days after the error first appears on your bill. We will then promptly investigate the charge. If you do not tell us within that time, you release us from all liability and claims of loss resulting from the error and we won’t be required to correct the error or provide a refund, unless otherwise required by law. If SICS has identified a billing error, we will correct that error within 90-days. This policy does not affect any statutory rights that may apply.
    7. Refund Policy. Unless otherwise provided by law or by a particular Service offer, all purchases are final and non-refundable. If you believe that SICS has charged you in error, you must contact us within 30-days of such charge. No refunds will be given for any charges more than 30- days old, unless otherwise required by law. We reserve the right to issue refunds or credits at our sole discretion. If we issue a refund or credit, we are under no obligation to issue the same or similar refund in the future. For each refund issued, a processing fee of 20 (twenty) units of the currency used for payment will be charged by SICS. This refund policy does not affect any statutory rights that may apply. If you live in Taiwan, please note that according to Taiwan’s Consumer Protection Act and its relevant regulations, all purchases pertaining to digital content provided via intangible form and/or on-line services are final and non-refundable when such content or service has been provided on line. You are not entitled to claim any cooling off period or any refund.
    8. Canceling the Services. You may cancel a Service at any time, with or without cause. To cancel a Service and request a refund, if you are entitled to one, please send a email to: support@sics.it. You should refer back to the offer describing the Services as (i) you may not receive a refund at the time of cancellation; (ii) you may be obligated to pay cancellation charges; (iii) you may be obligated to pay all charges made to your billing account for the Services before the date of cancellation; or (iv) you may lose access to and use of your account when you cancel the Services; or, if you live in Taiwan, (v) you may receive a refund in the amount equal to the unused fees you paid for a Service calculated at the time of cancellation. If you cancel, your access to the Services ends at the end of your current Service period or, if we bill your account on a periodic basis, at the end of the period in which you canceled.
    9. Trial-Period Offers. If you are taking part in any trial-period offer, you must cancel the trial Service(s) by the end of the trial period to avoid incurring new charges, unless we notify you otherwise. If you do not cancel the trial Service(s) by the end of the trial period, we may charge you for the Service(s).
    10. Promotional Offers. From time to time, SICS may offer Services for free for a trial period. SICS reserves the right to charge you for such Services (at the normal rate) in the event that SICS determines (in its reasonable discretion) that you are abusing the terms of the offer.
    11. Price Changes. We may change the price of the Services at any time and if you have a recurring purchase, we will notify you by email at least 60 days before the price change. If you do not agree to the price change, you must cancel and stop using the Services before the price change takes effect. If there is a fixed term and price for your Service offer, that price will remain in force for the fixed term.
    12. Payments to You. If we owe you a payment, then you agree to timely and accurately provide us with any information we need to get that payment to you. You are responsible for any taxes and charges you may incur as a result of this payment to you. You must also comply with any other conditions we place on your right to any payment. If you receive a payment in error, we may reverse or require return of the payment. You agree to cooperate with us in our efforts to do this. We may also reduce the payment to you without notice to adjust for any previous overpayment.
