You are responsible for ensuring that all activities performed through your Account represent your own authentic use of the Service.

Sharing your login credentials with others is expressly prohibited, and any breach of this obligation may result in suspension or termination of your Account.

If you suspect unauthorized access to your Account or any security breach, you must notify us immediately at https://sitzacademy.com/contact-us.

General information

Certain features of the App are accessible exclusively through a subscription. Subscriptions can be purchased via the App Store, Google Play, phone or directly from our website using a credit/debit card or Bank Account.

Trial subscription

We may provide trial subscription, which can be either free or paid, allowing temporary access to our App. If a trial is available, this will be explicitly stated during the checkout process. If no such notice is provided, your subscription purchase will proceed without any trial period. We reserve the right to restrict your ability to participate in multiple trial offers.

Automatic Conversion to Paid Subscription: Unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends, your payment method will be charged the subscription fee displayed during purchase for the subscription plan.

Subscription terms and renewals

When you subscribe, your plan will renew automatically at the end of each billing cycle (monthly).

Renewal Charges. Charges for renewal will be processed within 24 hours before the subscription term ends. Cancellations made less than 24 hours before renewal will take effect only after the subsequent term.

Pricing Changes. We reserve the right to modify subscription fees at any time, to the fullest extent allowed by applicable laws. Advance notice of subscription fees changes may be sent to you, and the updated subscription fees will apply to the next billing cycle. Updated subscription fees will take effect at the start of the next subscription term after the change is implemented.

By continuing to use the subscription after the updated pricing takes effect, you agree to the new subscription fees. If you do not accept the subscription fees change, you can cancel your subscription at least 24 hours before the end of the current subscription term to avoid further charges.

Promotions. We may offer promotional discounts. These discounts apply only to the initial payment and do not affect future renewal fees.

No Future Commitments. By subscribing, you agree that your purchase is not contingent on any future features, updates, or functionality, nor on any representations made by us.

Billing

Payment Authorization. You authorize us to charge the payment method provided at checkout or at the end of any trial period. Payment options include credit/debit cards, Bank account, Apple Pay, Google Pay etc. If you purchase a subscription through the App Store or Google Play, the payment will be charged to your credit/debit card via your respective account upon confirmation of your subscription. Alternatively, if you subscribe through our websites, the payment will be processed using your credit/debit card or your Bank account once you select a subscription and confirm your purchase.

Non-Refundable Transactions. Except where applicable law provides otherwise or as outlined in these Terms, all payments are final, non-refundable, and non-transferable.

Refund Eligibility. Refund eligibility depends on the platform used for the purchase:

• Website Purchases: Refunds for subscriptions purchased on our website, including but not limited to Bundles are limited and may be provided in specific cases, such as when required by law (e.g., cooling-off periods) or specified in these Terms.
• App Store or Google Play Purchases: Subscriptions purchased through the App Store or Google Play are subject to their respective refund policies, and requests should be directed to the appropriate support channels.
• U.S. Purchases: Residents of California or Connecticut may cancel a subscription purchase up until midnight of the third business day following the date of purchase and receive a full refund, provided there is no breach of these Terms.

Electronic fund transfer authorization

If the payment source you have provided is a checking account, you authorize us to create an electronic funds transfer request (“EFT”) which will be presented to your bank for payment from your checking account.

To extend your subscription term month-to-month, you authorize us to charge your checking account on periodic anniversary dates and therefore to effect pre-authorized transfers from your checking account.

Your request to pay your recurring monthly subscription fee with pre-authorized charges to your checking account and your electronic execution of an acknowledgement of your acceptance of this subscription terms (“Electronic Signature”) constitutes your pre-authorized EFT authorization for future charges on your checking account and your consent to these terms and conditions.

You further acknowledge that the amount charged to your checking account may be different from time to time, in accordance with this subscription terms, including, without limitation, differing amounts due to promotional subscription fees or changes in your subscription plan, and you authorize us to charge your checking account for such varying amounts.

You agree that if an EFT is returned unpaid, you will pay a service charge of the maximum allowed by law. EFTs returned for insufficient or uncollected funds, together with service charges, may be debited electronically from your account or collected using a bank draft drawn from your account.

You may cancel your subscription as described herein. Such cancellation will cancel any checking account authorization that was to occur on any day after the date of cancellation.

You may also cancel your pre-authorized debit authorization by contacting your bank within a sufficient time to cancel the authorization (please see your agreement with your bank for the terms and conditions of cancellation).

Please note, however, that you must still notify us of the cancellation of your subscription as described herein, as cancellation of your authorization with your bank will not serve as notice to us concerning cancellation of your membership.

Cancellation policy

To prevent auto-renewal and avoid the billing of the subscription fees for the next subscription term, you must cancel your subscription before the current subscription term ends. Important Note: Uninstalling the App does not automatically cancel your subscription. To stop recurring charges, you must cancel the auto-renewal.

For Website or Phone Purchases: You can do this via sending a cancellation request via https://sitzacademy.com/cancel-service or by calling our support team at (+1) 888 339-7055.

For App Store Purchases: If you subscribed or started a trial through the App Store, manage your subscription settings within your Apple Account. Ensure cancellation is completed at least 24 hours before the trial or current subscription term ends. For more information, visit Apple’s support page on managing subscriptions.

For Google Play Purchases: If you subscribed or started a trial through Google Play, manage your subscription settings within your Google Account. Cancellation must be done at least 24 hours before the trial or current subscription term ends. Learn more about managing subscriptions on Google’s support page.
