7. Drops Service Plans

The basic version of the Services can be used completely free of charge. This includes basic learning courses and content. If you decide to advance your learning, we have a range of subscription options to best meet your needs. You can opt to subscribe for our monthly, yearly and lifetime subscription (together the “Premium”) to access advanced learning courses and content. Our fees for Premium are available to view in our Apps and on our website https://languagedrops.com/premium. Our Fees are subject to different subscription plans, gift plans and promotions, and we therefore reserve the right to update our Fees from time to time.

We reserve the right to change or withdraw features, specifications, services and content of a Service Plan at any time, without notice to you. 

You can manage your Drops user account under your profile page within the app. If you have purchased a Paid Subscription through a distribution platform such as Google Play or Apple App Store, you must manage your account through such platforms.

7.1 Paid Subscriptions

If you select Monthly Premium your subscription will automatically renew as a rolling subscription and renew at the end of each monthly period, being one month (or as near to the date as possible) from the date on which your Monthly Premium was activated. 

If you select Yearly Premium, your subscription will automatically renew as a rolling subscription at the end of each annual period, on the date on which your Yearly Premium was activated (each being a “Renewal”). 

If you proceed with a Renewal, the method of payment used to pay the Fees will be debited at the end of your current Premium subscription. 

If you select Lifetime Premium subscription, this will be charged as a one-off upfront payment without any renewals. Lifetime Premium subscription is valid until the date Drops ceases to commercially offer the Services.

You acknowledge that, if we change the Fees, this will not affect your existing Premium subscription, therefore, if you have signed up for subscription at a certain Fee, any Fee changes will not affect any current subscription or any renewals.

Please note that if you have purchased the subscription through Apple iTunes or Drops iPhone/iPad application, the following conditions apply for renewals of Monthly and Yearly Premium subscription:

  • Subscription automatically renews unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24-hours before the end of the current period
  • your account will be charged for renewal within 24-hours prior to the end of the current period.

Subscriptions may be managed by the user and auto-renewal may be turned off by going to the user's Account Settings after purchase.

The effect of the subscription changes are as follows:

  • From Monthly Premium to Yearly Premium – your Yearly Premium will be activated immediately after payment is processed and any time left on your Monthly Premium will be cancelled and will not be refunded;
  • From Yearly Premium to Monthly Premium – your Yearly Premium will continue to be active until the expiry of the remainder of your current Yearly Premium subscription and your Monthly Premium will be activated once your Yearly Premium subscription has expired; and
  • From Monthly Premium or Yearly Premium to Lifetime – your Monthly Premium or Yearly Premium will continue to be active until the expiry of the remainder of your current Monthly or Yearly Premium subscriptions and your Lifetime plan will be activated immediately after purchase. 
  • Please note that in case of switching to Lifetime plan, you have to cancel your Monthly or Yearly Premium subscriptions to avoid auto renewal of these recurring subscriptions.

7.2 Prepaid offers

If you have received a code or other offer provided or sold by or on behalf of Drops for access to a Paid Subscription (“Code”), separate terms and conditions presented to you along with the Code may also apply to your access to the Service and you agree to comply with any such terms and conditions.

7.3 Free Trial 

Your Premium subscription may start with a free trial. The free trial period for any subscription will last for the period of time specified when you signed up. Free trials may not be combined with certain other offers, as specified. If you begin your subscription with a free trial, the first billing day will be the day after the free trial expires. E.g for a 7 day free trial the billing day will be the 8th day. However, no charges will be made if you cancel the subscription prior to the end of your free trial period. You can cancel the free trial any time, in the app store where you made your purchase. 

8. Payment processors

All financial transactions made in connection with the Service will be processed by a third party in accordance with their respective terms of use, privacy policy, and/or any applicable payment terms and conditions. We encourage you to learn about the practices of such third party. In no event will Drops be responsible for the actions or inactions of any third party payment processor, including, but not limited to, system downtime or payment service outages.

9. Cancellation and refunds 

You can keep track of your Premium subscription by opening the Account Settings after purchase which will display the expiry date of your Premium subscription.

We do not provide refunds for Apple App Store payments, as those purchases are managed solely by Apple.

We do not provide refunds after 14 days of the original purchase.

We may not be able to refund you, or there may be a delay in issuing you a refund if you have paid the Fees using any third party scripts or products that anonymise personal payment details, including but not limited to, Apple App Store and Play Store payments.

We do not offer refunds or partial refunds outside of the refund options stated above.

10. Account deletion 

10.1 Deleting your account

You are able to delete your account from the Profile menu.  Once your account is deleted, you will no longer have access to your Profile and your account will lose all settings and progress. We can't restore accounts or progress after you delete your account. If you have an active Premium subscription when your account is deleted, you will not receive a refund for any time remaining on your Premium subscription. To delete your locked or suspended account, please send us the email address of the account to support@languagedrops.com and we will assist you further.

10.2 Termination of your account by us

We reserve the right to modify, temporarily suspend or permanently delete your Account and terminate your access to the Services if we have reason to believe that you have breached or acted inconsistently with the Terms. Following termination, your Licence will be automatically revoked and we reserve the right to delete your Account, erase all or any information on your Profile and discard any content created by you (“User Content”). You agree that we shall not be liable to you for any modification or discontinuance of the Service. We accept no liability for deletion of information or content from your Profile. You acknowledge and accept that certain User Content may remain after the termination of your Account and that the User Content Licence shall not be revoked or terminated. If you have an active Premium subscription when we terminate your Account, you will not receive a refund for any time remaining on your Premium subscription.

11. Your license

你确认,如果我们更改了费用,这不会影响你现有的高级订阅。因此,如果你已经以一定的费用注册了订阅,则任何费用的更改都不会影响你任何当前的订阅或续订。

请注意,如果你通过Apple iTunes或Drops iPhones/iPad应用程序购买了订阅,则以下条件适用于包月和包年高级订阅的续订:

• 订阅会自动续订,除非在当前订阅周期结束前至少24小时关闭自动续订;

• 在当前订阅周期结束前的24小时内,续订费用会从你的账号中扣除。

订阅可以由用户管理,购买后可以前往用户的账户设置关闭自动续订。

更改订阅的影响如下:

• 从包月高级订阅转到包年高级订阅 – 你的包年订阅将在付款后立即激活,你的包月订阅的剩余时间将被取消且不会退款;

• 从包年高级订阅转到包月高级订阅 – 你的包年订阅将继续有效,直到你当前的包年订阅到期为止。一旦你的包年高级订阅到期,你的包月高级订阅将被激活;和

• 从包月高级订阅或包年高级订阅转到终生订阅 – 你的包月高级订阅或包年高级订阅将继续有效,直到你当前的包月高级订阅或包年高级订阅到期为止。你的终身订阅会在购买后立即激活。

• 请注意,如果转换到终身订阅,你必须取消包月高级订阅或包年高级订阅,以避免这些周期性订阅的自动续订。
