As such, You hereby agree to the use of in-app advertising in FDBK, and will not do anything to interfere, interrupt or obscure the display of such in-app advertising, such as using ‘ad blocking’ technologies, products or services.

You can receive more tailored advertising by opting in for advertising personalisation when first using FDBK. You may withdraw Your consent for this at any time by navigating to the ‘Settings’ section in the side menu in FDBK and selecting ‘Privacy Settings’.

6. Subscriptions

Subscription period

You acknowledge and agree that while FDBK is free to install, FDBK or some parts of FDBK are available only with a paid Subscription.  We reserve the right to include opt-in advertising even as part of a paid Subscription. You will be billed in advance on a recurring and periodic basis (daily, weekly, monthly or annually), depending on the type of Subscription plan You select.

At the end of each period, Your Subscription will automatically renew under the exact same conditions unless You cancel it or the Company cancels it.

Subscription cancellations

You may cancel Your Subscription renewal either through Your Account settings page or by contacting the Company. You will not receive a refund for the fees You already paid for Your current Subscription period and You will be able to access FDBK until the end of Your current Subscription period.

If the Subscription has been made through an In-app Purchase, You can cancel the renewal of Your Subscription with the Application Store.

Billing

You shall provide the Company with accurate and complete billing information including full name, address, state, postcode, telephone number, and valid payment method information.

Should automatic billing fail to occur for any reason, the Company will issue an electronic invoice indicating that You must proceed manually, within a certain deadline date, with the full payment corresponding to the billing period as indicated on the invoice.

If the Subscription has been made through an In-app Purchase, all billing is handled by the Application Store and is governed by the Application Store’s own terms and conditions.

Fee Changes

The Company, in its sole discretion and at any time, may modify the Subscription fees. Any Subscription fee change will become effective at the end of the then-current Subscription period.

The Company will provide You with reasonable prior notice of any change in Subscription fees to give You an opportunity to terminate Your Subscription before such change becomes effective.

Your continued use of FDBK after the Subscription fee change comes into effect constitutes Your agreement to pay the modified Subscription fee amount.

Refunds

Except when required by law, paid Subscription fees are non-refundable.

If You reside in the EU or European Economic Area - in accordance with local law, You are entitled to a full refund without stating the reason during the 14 days after the subscription begins. Please note that this 14-day period commences when the subscription starts.

Certain refund requests for Subscriptions may be considered by the Company on a case-by-case basis and granted at the sole discretion of the Company.

If the Subscription has been made through an In-app purchase, the Application Store’s refund policy will apply. If You wish to request a refund, You may do so by contacting the Application Store directly.

If You made a purchase using Your Apple ID, refunds are handled by Apple, not Us. To request a refund, go to the Apple App Store, click on Your Apple ID, select “Purchase history”, find the transaction and select “Report Problem”. You can also submit a request at https://getsupport.apple.com.

If You made a purchase on or via the Google Play Store, Google can handle refund requests too. For more information see:https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/2479637?hl=en

You may delete or terminate Your account at any time, for any reason, by following the instructions in the “Settings” section in FDBK. However, if You use a third-party payment account such as any Application Store, You will need to manage in app purchases through such account to avoid additional Subscription fees being charged.

FDBK may include In-app Purchases that allow You to buy products, services, Equity or Subscriptions.

More information about how You may be able to manage In-app Purchases using Your Device may be set out in the Application Store’s own terms and conditions or in Your Device’s Help settings.
