Terms of Service
1. Agreement & Acceptance of Terms
These Terms of Service ("Terms" or "Agreement") constitute a legally binding agreement between SiteMind ("SiteMind", "we", "us", or "our") and the individual or entity ("Customer", "you", or "your") accessing or using the SiteMind platform, APIs, embeddable widgets, dashboard, and related services (collectively, the "Service").
By registering for an account, clicking "Get Started", creating a workspace, or embedding our widget on your website, you represent and warrant that you have the legal capacity and authority to bind yourself or the organization you represent to these Terms. If you do not agree to all terms of this Agreement, you must not access or use the Service.
2. Subscription Plans, Free Trial & Billing
A. 3-Day Free Trial
SiteMind offers a 3-day free trial on new accounts without requiring credit card information. The trial grants access to core features subject to usage limits. Upon trial expiration, continued use of the Service requires upgrading to a paid subscription plan.
B. Subscription Plans & Merchant of Record
SiteMind offers Starter, Growth, Pro, and Enterprise subscription tiers billed on a monthly or annual recurring basis. Payments, tax calculations, and invoicing are securely handled by our Merchant of Record partner, Polar Software Inc. ("Polar.sh"). By subscribing, you authorize Polar.sh and its payment processors to charge your selected payment method on each billing cycle.
C. Automatic Renewal & Cancellation
Subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period unless cancelled prior to the renewal date. You may cancel your subscription at any time directly through your Workspace Settings > Billing. Cancellation takes effect at the conclusion of the current prepaid billing period, and your account will not be charged again.
D. Non-Refundable Policy
All fees paid for SiteMind subscription plans and usage add-ons are strictly non-refundable once billed. We do not provide refunds, credits, or pro-rated reimbursements for partial billing periods or unused quotas.
3. Accounts, Security & Workspace Access
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials, API keys, and session tokens. You agree to notify us immediately at [email protected] if you discover or suspect unauthorized access to your account.
You are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your workspace, including actions taken by team members or administrators you invite.
4. Customer Content & Knowledge Base Licenses
"Customer Content" means all website URLs, HTML text, uploaded files (PDF, DOCX, CSV), FAQs, and third-party cloud data (Google Drive, Notion, Confluence, GitHub, Dropbox) that you connect or submit to SiteMind.
