It is up to you as the account owner to keep your password and API key confidential. You agree to contact us immediately if you suspect a breach of security regarding your Account. We cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage resulting from your failure to comply with these security obligations.

Deactivation of the Account: At any time, you may delete your Account through the settings of your Account or by sending a request directly to us. Upon deactivation of the Account, these Terms shall terminate.

Suspension and termination of the Account: We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your Account if, at our sole discretion, we have grounds to believe that you have breached these Terms or we receive a lawful request of a public authority.

Non-payment and inactivity: Any Account that has an outstanding amount to pay may be suspended 30 days after the amount was due by. If your Account is suspended, creating another Account will automatically result in suspension whether or not you have made a payment on any of the Accounts. Any Account which shows no activity for more than 12 months may be considered inactive. If an Account is considered inactive, the Account may be deleted and all data associated with that Account may be permanently erased. Any Account that has been suspended or deleted may lose all unused bulk or monthly credits. If your Account is suspended or deleted, or if Heybounce is terminated you will not be eligible for a refund for any payments made in the past, regardless of the number of bulk or monthly credits left on your Account.

The Fees and payment terms related thereto are made available on the Website or communicated to you personally. The Fees are indicated in United States dollars (USD) and include all applicable taxes. By purchasing the Credits, you agree to pay the Fees in accordance with these Terms and the terms and conditions in force at the moment you conclude the payment transaction. The Fees remain valid for as long as they are indicated on the Website. The Fees are subject to change without prior notice.

Payment: Payments for bulk or monthly Credits must be made upfront and they are not refundable. 1 email verification requires 1 Credit. You may purchase any number of bulk Credits at any time. Bulk Credits never expire. You can pay for bulk Credits through the Website by a credit card.

Payment processing: All payments related to Heybounce are processed by our third-party payment processors Paddle (collectively, the “Payment Processors”). The Payment Processors are solely responsible for handling your payments. You agree not to hold us liable for payments that do not reach us because you have quoted incorrect payment information or the Payment Processors refused the payment for any other reason. The Payment Processors handle all the steps in the payment process through their systems, including data collection and data processing. We do not have access to your payment data.

Verification failure: In the event we are unable to verify an email address, we will return the result: “unknown”.
