Services and Trial Period

Scaling Process Inc. offers a wide range of web and mobile application design and development services. Our commitment is to deliver these services under the terms of a monthly subscription model, which is fully detailed on our Website.

Trial Offer: We provide a 7-day risk-free trial period to new subscribers, allowing you to evaluate our services. During the trial, you will have access to a limited scope of our offerings, which will be outlined upon registration.

Trial Service Rights: Any work produced or services rendered during the trial period are the exclusive property of Scaling Process Inc. Unless the service subscription is converted to a paid plan following the trial period, we reserve the right to retain, modify, or use any such preliminary work for our own business purposes.

Conversion to Paid Service: Upon the conclusion of the trial period, you will be prompted to subscribe to our paid services to continue using Scaling Process Inc.'s offerings. If you choose to subscribe, you will be subject to the full scope of our services as per the selected subscription plan.

Subscription Continuation or Cancellation: Should you decide to continue with our services past the trial period, your subscription will automatically commence without interruption. You may cancel your subscription at any time during the trial or thereafter, in accordance with our cancellation policy outlined in subsequent sections.

By subscribing to our trial offer, you agree to these terms and confirm your understanding that not converting to a paid plan may result in the loss of access to the work produced during the trial.

Payment, Fees, and Cancellations

Payment Terms: Access to services provided by Scaling Process Inc. requires the payment of fees in U.S. dollars. These fees are specified on our pricing page and must be paid in advance of the service period via our e-banking system, which facilitates automatic renewals.

Fee Structure: Our subscription model includes various service plans, each with its corresponding fee. All fees are exclusive of taxes and additional charges, which will be identified during the payment process.

Subscription Activation: Services are activated once we confirm receipt of payment. In the event of payment failure, access to the service will be withheld until payment issues are resolved.

Automatic Renewal: Subscriptions are automatically renewed at the end of each billing cycle. To prevent renewal, subscriptions must be canceled before the cycle ends.

Alternate Payment Methods: While e-banking is preferred for its ease of automatic renewal, alternative payment methods such as Stripe or similar platforms may be arranged if necessary.

Cancellations: Subscriptions can be canceled at any time, but services will remain active until the end of the current billing cycle. No refunds are offered for partial usage within a billing cycle.

Refunds: We maintain a no-refund policy. However, in exceptional circumstances, we may, at our discretion, offer credits for future services.

Changes to Fees: We reserve the right to modify our fees and will provide notice of such changes. Your continued use of the services after the fee change constitutes acceptance of the new rates.

Non-Payment: In cases of non-payment, service access may be suspended or terminated. We reserve the right to seek recovery of any unpaid fees by legal means.
