(“Paragon” or “we”). By using the Site and/or the Service, you irrevocably agree that such use is subject to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these Terms of Service, you may not use the Site or the Service. If you are entering into these Terms of Service on behalf of an entity, you are binding such entity to these Terms of Service, you represent that you have the actual authority to bind such entity to these Terms of Service, and references to “you” mean you as an individual, as well as such entity. For purposes hereof, the “Site” includes all subdomains and components of the Paragon website.
Paragon expressly reserves the right to modify the Terms of Service at any time in its sole discretion by including such alteration and/or modification in these Terms of Service, along with a notice of the effective date of such modified Terms of Service. If a revision meaningfully reduces your rights, we will use reasonable efforts to notify you (by, for example, sending an email to the billing contact you designate in your User Account (as defined below), through your User Account or in the Service itself). To the extent you have purchased a subscription to the Service, the modified terms will be effective as to such subscription Service upon your next subscription renewal. In this case, if you object to the updated terms, as your exclusive remedy, you may choose not to renew, including cancelling any terms set to auto-renew. In all other cases, any continued use by you of the Site or the Service after the posting of such modified Terms of Service shall be deemed to indicate your irrevocable agreement to such modified Terms of Service. Accordingly, if at any time you do not agree to be subject to any modified Terms of Service, you may no longer use the Site or Service.

Any upgrade or downgrade in your Service use will result in the new Fees being charged at the next billing cycle. There will be no prorating for downgrades in between billing cycles.

(d) Renewal: Your subscription to the Service will begin on the day you purchase access and will renew automatically using the payment method you provided until you cancel your subscription. You must terminate your subscription before the automatic renewal to not be charged for the subsequent period. No refunds will be issued for your failure to timely cancel a subscription. At the end of your subscription period, any continuing subscription may be subject to price increases. We will provide reasonable notice to you of any price increases before the end of your current subscription period.

(b) Fees: Some features of the Service may only be accessed and used upon the payment of applicable fees (“Fees”). Fees may vary depending on usage in accordance with our current pricing policy. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING CONTAINED HEREIN, ANY SERVICE PROVIDED DURING THE FREE TRIAL PERIOD IS PROVIDED “AS-IS” WITHOUT ANY REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES OR INDEMNITIES. All Fees are exclusive of all taxes, levies, or duties imposed by taxing authorities, and you shall be responsible for payment of all such taxes, levies, or duties, excluding only United States (federal or state) taxes.
(c) Refunds, Upgrading and Downgrading: Refunds are processed according to our fair refund policy. Any upgrade or downgrade in your Service use will result in the new Fees being charged at the next billing cycle. There will be no prorating for downgrades in between billing cycles. Downgrading your subscription to the Service may cause the loss of features or capacity of your User Account. Paragon does not accept any liability for such loss.
(d) Renewal: Your subscription to the Service will begin on the day you purchase access and will renew automatically using the payment method you provided until you cancel your subscription. You must terminate your subscription before the automatic renewal to not be charged for the subsequent period. No refunds will be issued for your failure to timely cancel a subscription. At the end of your subscription period, any continuing subscription may be subject to price increases. We will provide reasonable notice to you of any price increases before the end of your current subscription period. If you do not cancel your subscription as set forth in Subsection (e) below, your renewed subscription will be subject to the increased price we have communicated to you.
(e) Cancellation and Termination by You: You are solely responsible for properly canceling your User Account by emailing our support team at support@useparagon.com. If you cancel your subscription to the Services or your User Account at least 30 days before the end of your current subscription term, your cancellation will take effect at the end of your current subscription, and you will not be charged for future subscription renewals. If you do not give written notice of cancellation at least 30 days before the end of your current subscription term, we will not be able to process your cancellation prior to automatic renewal and your subscription will continue for an additional term period. If you cancel your subscription, you will retain access to the subscription you have paid for until the end of the subscription period. Please note that we do not provide refunds for your non-use of the Services and any other refunds we may issue not specifically set forth in these Terms of Service will be at our sole discretion.
(f) Termination and Suspension by Paragon: Paragon may terminate your User Account and/or these Terms of Service at any time and for any reason upon notice to you. We may also suspend your access to the Service at any time, with or without cause. If we terminate your User Account or suspend your access to the Service without cause, we will refund a prorated portion of your Fees. We will not refund or reimburse you if we terminate your User Account for cause, including (without limitation) for a violation of these Terms of Service or applicable law.
(g) Effect of Termination: Once your User Account is terminated, we may permanently delete your User Account and any or all User Content associated with it. If you do not log in to your User Account for 12 or more months, we may treat your User Account as “inactive”, permanently delete the User Account and all the data associated with it and cancel any active subscription you have to the Service. Except where an exclusive remedy may be specified in this Agreement, the exercise by either party of any remedy, including termination, will be without prejudice to any other remedies it may have under these Terms of Service. All sections of this Agreement which by their nature should survive termination will survive, including without limitation, accrued rights to payment, use restrictions and indemnity obligations, confidentiality obligations, warranty disclaimers, and limitations of liability.
