If you violate any of these Terms of Service, we reserve the right to cancel your account or block access to your account without notice.

3. Support

The Chat Board does not include free installation support.

4. Payment and Refunds

A valid credit or debit card or PayPal account is required for subscribing to Chat Board and the Chat Board Apps. The Chat Board Software and the Chat Board Apps are billed in advance in accordance with our pricing schedule. In order to treat everyone equally, no exceptions will be made. All fees are exclusive of all taxes, levies, or duties imposed by taxing authorities, and you will be responsible for payment of all such taxes, levies, or duties, excluding only United States (federal or state) income taxes. You agree to pay for any taxes that might be applicable to your use of the Chat Board Service or payments made by you in connection with your use of the Chat Board Service.

You will be eligible for a full refund only if all of the following conditions are verified:

4.1. The Chat Board software and/or the Chat Board Apps have issues and/or do not work properly on your website.
4.2. The Chat Board's Support has verified the issue and has not been able to solve it within 72h from the time you provided the access and/or links to your hosting/server/website.
4.3. The problems/issues are related to the Chat Board software and/or the Chat Board Apps. You will not be eligible for a refund if the issue is related to your hosting/server.
To verify and solve the issue, our support team could ask you for the access (user, password, IP) of your website/hosting/server. You will not be eligible for a refund if you refuse to provide us with these details.

5. Violation of these Terms of Service

We reserve the right to investigate and prosecute violations of any of these Terms of Service to the fullest extent of the law. We may involve and cooperate with law enforcement authorities in prosecuting Users who violate the Terms of Service. You hereby agree that Chat Board may, in the exercise of our sole discretion, remove or delete any data, accounts, or other content that violates these Terms of Service or that is otherwise objectionable. Chat Board, in its sole discretion, has the right to suspend or terminate your account if you breach these Terms of Service. Any termination of your account will result in the deactivation or deletion of your account, denied access to your account, and the removal of all content in your account.

6. Slack App

The Slack app (https://chatboardapp.com/slack) has no recurring costs, but we reserve the right to terminate the service at any time if we deem it necessary. The main reason for stopping the service is the sending/receiving of too many messages. While we offer the Slack integration for free, our servers must process every message sent to make the integration work, and this incurs costs (we pay for it). In the case we decide to stop the service:

6.1. We will contact you prior to stopping the service to notify you and discuss any solutions to the problem.
6.2. We will provide you with a technical guide to continue using the Slack app without using our servers.

7. Messenger App

The Messenger app (https://chatboardapp.com/messenger) has no recurring costs, but we reserve the right to terminate the service at any time if we deem it necessary. The main reason for stopping the service is the sending/receiving of too many messages. While we offer the Messenger integration for free, our servers must process every message sent to make the integration work, and this incurs costs (we pay for it). In the case we decide to stop the service:

7.1. We will contact you prior to stopping the service to notify you and discuss any solutions to the problem.
7.2. We will provide you with a technical guide to continue using the Messenger app without using our servers.
