Countries, taxes, and local laws
ARC is sold only to businesses and professionals for business or professional use, not for personal or household use. By accepting these terms, you confirm that you're using ARC for your business, that you can accept them on its behalf, and that your business is based in the country listed on your account; if it moves, you'll let us know. The countries where ARC is available, and what works in each, are listed on our Services page. If your country's law gives you consumer rights even when you buy for your business, you keep them.
Module prices are in the currency of your business's country (our Services page lists them for each country). Website projects and their maintenance plan are priced in US dollars. Prices don't include taxes. If the law requires us to charge a tax and we're registered for it, we add it to your total and show it on your invoice. If a tax authority later requires us to pay a tax that applied to your charges, we may charge it to you, with an invoice.
In New Zealand, we only sell ARC to GST-registered businesses that use it for business purposes. If your business is based there, we ask for its GST number before we charge anything. We're not registered for GST in New Zealand, and we don't charge it. If New Zealand law requires your business to account for GST on what it buys from us, your business is responsible for doing so.
If your business stops being registered for GST, deactivate your modules before any of them renews, and let us know at support@noiselesshq.com. Each module keeps working until the end of the period you've already paid for, and then it ends. If a module renewed after your business stopped being registered, it keeps working until that renewed period ends, and that renewal isn't refunded. If we learn that your business isn't registered, we'll email you and deactivate your modules the same way.
If your business wasn't registered for GST when it told us it was, let a module renew after it stopped being registered, or didn't use ARC for its business, it will pay any GST, interest, and penalties that Inland Revenue requires us to pay as a result.
Your business is responsible for following the laws that apply to it on messaging, advertising, health, and customer privacy, including any consents and notices those laws require.
You can only change your business's country to one where ARC is available. If an active module doesn't work in the new country, deactivate it in Modules first; if the new country uses a different currency, deactivate all your modules first. They keep working until the end of the paid period, and then you can change the country. Charges already incurred with providers, such as Twilio for SMS + Mia, are still billed at actual cost.
These terms are published in English and Spanish, and both versions are equally valid. If they differ, the version in the language in which you accepted them prevails.
If we stop offering a module, or ARC, in your business's country, we'll email you at least 30 days in advance, unless a law or a provider requires us to stop sooner. The module keeps working until the end of the paid period; if it has to stop sooner, we'll refund the unused part, unless the law prohibits it. This is an exception to the standard no-refund rule.
