The Promoter must prioritize Banandco's interests in all their business dealings and activities. Banandco may assign specific obligations to each Promoter, which will be communicated via email. These obligations are binding once notified and may vary for each Promoter.
Should the Promoter fully comply with the obligations set out in section 8.1, Banandco may offer benefits such as discounts on service fees (at Banandco's sole discretion) or free upgrades to their subscription plan.
Failure to meet the obligations will result in the cancellation of any benefits mentioned in section 8.2, and the Promoter will be liable to pay the necessary fees to Banandco.
Subscriptions are charged in advance based on the selected membership type and are processed through Paddle.com Inc., a payment infrastructure provider for software companies. For products that do not require a subscription, users make a one-time payment. Users have access to the product for the duration specified by Banandco on the Site. If the term is not renewed, Banandco will discontinue the service.
Access to some services via Paddle may require a purchase or fee. Paddle must ensure that all purchase and account information provided through Paddle.com is accurate, complete, and up-to-date. More details about payments can be found at https://www.paddle.com/about.
Prices listed on the Site do not include VAT; this fee is added to your purchase by Paddle.com. Banandco reserves the right to adjust prices at any time, with such changes reflected on the Site. Users may terminate the Agreement in writing or via email, free of charge, effective from the date the price change takes effect.
You agree to pay all charges at the rates in effect at the time of your purchase, and you authorize us to charge your selected payment method accordingly. For recurring charges, you consent to automatic billing until you cancel. We reserve the right to correct any pricing errors, even if payment has already been requested or received. Additionally, we may refuse any order placed through the Site.
The Agreement and your subscription to Banandco Services become active the moment you sign up on our website and remain in effect until terminated by either you or Banandco.
You can cancel your subscription at any time without prior notice. To cancel, you can click the “Cancel” button on the user billing page (www.banandco.com/billing), use the cancellation link sent by Paddle.com after your subscription, or request a cancellation link by emailing support@banandco.com.
Upon cancellation, you will retain access to the service until the end of your current billing period. Payments are non-refundable, and we do not offer refunds or credits for partial membership periods or unused content, as permitted by law. If Banandco determines that you have abused the cancellation and refund process, we reserve the right to block access to your account or terminate your account indefinitely at our discretion.
Banandco has a no-refund policy for one-time purchases and monthly subscriptions. If you cancel your monthly subscription, you will not be charged for the next billing period. Refund requests due to multiple subscriptions caused by user error will not be accepted by Banandco.
The Customer and Users must provide Banandco with all necessary cooperation and access to required information to facilitate the provision of Services. They must comply with all relevant laws and regulations regarding their activities under the Contract and fulfill all responsibilities outlined in the Contract promptly and efficiently. If the Customer or Users delay in providing the agreed assistance, Banandco may reasonably adjust any agreed-upon timelines or delivery schedules.
The Customer and Users guarantee that any content they report to Banandco, or for which they submit takedown or delisting notices using the Services, infringes on their intellectual property rights and that they have the authority to request its removal from the relevant Site (as defined in the Order).
The Customer and Users acknowledge that Banandco may conduct verification checks to confirm ownership of the content. These checks may include, but are not limited to, reviewing public databases, financial and company records, and requesting licenses or rights holder agreements directly from the Customer or Users.
The Customer and Users warrant that they either own the intellectual property rights to the content or have been expressly licensed to enforce these rights on behalf of the owner. The Customer and Users expressly authorise Banandco to issue takedown requests on their behalf. The Customer and Users agree to indemnify Banandco against all liabilities, costs, expenses, damages, and losses (including direct, indirect, or consequential losses, loss of profit, loss of reputation, and all interest, penalties, and legal costs on a full indemnity basis, along with any other reasonable professional costs and expenses) incurred by Banandco as a result of any breach of the Contract terms by the Customer or Users.

Banandco does not guarantee the daily functionality of Google searches, Google complaints, or searches and complaints on any site. Sites may be temporarily unavailable, shut down, or change their search systems. Banandco is not liable for these situations.
"Force Majeure" refers to events beyond Banandco's reasonable control, including but not limited to natural disasters (such as fires, floods, earthquakes, storms), export or import restrictions, embargos, terrorist attacks, wars, civil conflicts, losses at sea, legal disputes involving business law (including strikes, lockouts, and other industrial disputes), pandemics, or interruptions/disruptions of public services. If Banandco is unable to meet its obligations due to a Force Majeure event, it will not be considered in breach of this Agreement. The period for fulfilling such obligations will be extended for the duration of the Force Majeure. Banandco will not be held liable to the customer or user as long as the non-performance is due to Force Majeure. Banandco will promptly inform the customer or user of the scope and details of the Force Majeure event. If the Force Majeure persists for more than three months, Banandco may terminate the Agreement by notifying the customer or user. The termination notice will specify the termination date, which must be at least 14 business days after the notice is given. The Agreement will terminate on the specified date, and Banandco will not be held liable for the termination. However, rights and liabilities arising before the termination will remain valid.
Any personal data transfer between the parties must comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) approved by the European Parliament on April 14, 2016, effective since May 25, 2018, and binding for all member states. The parties agree that any personal data disclosed under this Agreement has been obtained in compliance with GDPR. This includes the collection, organization, modification, storage, recording, transfer to third parties, international transfer, deletion, destruction, and anonymization of such data. The parties agree not to disclose personal data to third parties except as permitted by this Agreement, GDPR, or their respective Personal Data Protection Policies. If a party receives any request or application regarding personal data disclosed by the other party, they must inform the other party within 24 hours. The party disclosing special categories of personal data, which require explicit consent from shareholders and/or employees, confirms that such consent has been obtained as required by law. Both parties must implement technical and administrative measures to prevent illegal processing or access to personal data and to ensure its secure retention. The parties agree to process personal data only as necessary for the performance of services under this Agreement. They will limit access to data to employees who need it to perform their duties and ensure that employees do not disclose information, passwords, or access methods to unauthorized persons. Employees will be informed of GDPR requirements. The parties agree to comply with all relevant legislation throughout the term of this Agreement and beyond, providing explanations for any non-compliance with instructions. Failure to comply with these data protection obligations gives the right to terminate the Agreement. Banandco is not required to delete personal data during the storage period defined by law. After this period, Banandco will delete other data but is not obliged to delete personal data of users or customers.
If any provision of these terms is found to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will continue to be valid and enforceable.
