You acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible for (a) maintaining the confidentiality and security of your dizmoID and in particular the password associated to it (including without limitation by selecting a sufficiently complex password and changing it from time to time), and (b) all activities that occur on or through your dizmoID. Dizmo may treat any activities performed by a user logged in with your dizmoID as undertaken by yourself or with your approval. You agree to immediately contact Dizmo support if you have any suspicion that your dizmoID has been compromised. Dizmo shall not be responsible for any losses arising out of the unauthorized use of your dizmoID.
III. Services
- During the term of this User Agreement, and subject to your valid dizmoID and User Agreement not being blocked, suspended or terminated, you may access and use in connection with your validly licensed copy of dizmoViewer the online services made available by Dizmo to you under and subject to this User Agreement (“Services”), except where a Service has been suspended with regard to you.
- Some of the Services are offered and may be used by you only against a charge set forth by Dizmo. If so, you may only use such paid-for Services insofar and for as long as you have paid the price for the Service or Service options you have selected in full in advance. Paid Services can normally be purchased by you on a monthly or yearly basis, and shall run for the period chosen and paid by you. The respective Service term starts on the date that you submit the annual or monthly (as applicable) charge and expires on the last date of the term chosen by you, unless terminated earlier in accordance with this User Agreement (for example, for an annual subscription term, if you submit payment for the subscription on July 1st, the subscription would expire on June 30th of the following year). If you have activated the option for an automatic renewal of a Service, your subscription shall automatically renew at the expiration of the then-current term for an additional term of the same duration, provided Dizmo is able to automatically charge you using the same payment method agreed and used for the former payment (Dizmo may attempt the charge up to five business days prior to the expiry of the current term); if the charge fails, Dizmo shall inform the User accordingly and the Service shall end without further warning at the end of its current term unless you make the necessary payment in time prior to the expiry. All fees and charges paid by you in relation to Services are non-refundable, except as required by law.
- A description of all current Services and listing of applicable charges, if any, are found on the website of Dizmo at www.dizmo.com and is in its latest version incorporated herein by reference (for changes, see Section V below). One of the Services is dizmoStore, as regulated further below (Section IV). It may be used to subscribe to Services.
- Access to and use of a Service requires a valid dizmo ID, dizmoViewer, Internet access and may be subject to further technical and legal preconditions. Dizmo does neither undertake nor warrant that you will be able to access and use any particular Service and do so as intended. It is strongly recommended that you maintain a high-speed Internet access and always the latest version of dizmoViewer.
- The Services are provided by Dizmo at no particular service levels, unless expressly agreed otherwise.
- You may use the Services only if and as long as you have a valid license for the copy of dizmoViewer with which you are accessing and using the Services.
- When using the Services, you shall comply with the policies posted by Dizmo in connection with such Services, including any “Acceptable Use Policies”, in their then current version.
- No Service, nor any part of thereof, may be reproduced, duplicated, provided, made available, offered, advertised, sold, resold, or otherwise exploited for or on behalf of a third party without the prior express written consent of Dizmo. Each Service may be accessed and used by you only for your own purposes. In line with the foregoing, you may use the Services in a professional context, but you are doing so at your own risk.
- The Services, or any feature or part thereof, may not be available in all languages, in all countries or to all Users and Dizmo makes no representation that the Services, or any feature or part thereof, is appropriate or available for use in any particular location and for any particular User. To the extent you choose to access and use the Service, you do so at your own initiative and are responsible for compliance with any applicable laws, including, but not limited to, any applicable local laws.
IV. dizmoStore
- The dizmoStore is accessed through dizmoViewer and permits you to purchase Applications and services made available by Dizmo and by third parties for free or against a charge.
- If you purchase an Application from Dizmo, whether for free or against a charge, it is licensed to you pursuant to the terms as per the Dizmo End User License Agreement, which shall apply accordingly, unless stated otherwise in the dizmoStore. By clicking the button for purchasing the Application, you agree to be bound by the terms in the Dizmo License Agreement for such applications, and any other terms provided for in the dizmoStore.
- If you purchase an Application from a third party, whether for free or against a charge, it is licensed to you by such third party pursuant to the license terms of such Application set forth in the dizmoStore (if no license terms are provided, then the terms of the Dizmo License Agreement shall apply accordingly, with all references to Dizmo being references to the third party). The contract for purchasing such Application is entered into directly between you and the third party identified in the dizmoStore; Dizmo is not party to such agreement related to such third party Application. Dizmo’s role is limited to the operation of the platform for selling the Application and handling of the purchase transaction (including payment of charges, if any, and delivery of the Application) for and on behalf of such third party.
- If you purchase a service provided by Dizmo through the dizmoStore, it shall be considered a Service under this User Agreement and governed accordingly.
- If you purchase a service from a third party through dizmoStore, such service shall be provided to you pursuant to the service terms of such third party as set forth in the dizmoStore. The service contract for such service is entered into directly between you and the third party identified in the dizmoStore; Dizmo is not party to such agreement related to such third party service. Dizmo’s role is limited to the operation of the platform for selling the service and handling of the purchase transaction (including payment of charges, if any, but not the delivery of the service) for and on behalf of such third party.
- If an Application or service is offered in the dizmoStore against a charge, such charge has to be fully paid before the Application may be downloaded or the service is provided. Payments can be made only using a wallet associated with your dizmoID. You can fund the wallet using the payment methods approved by Dizmo and made available to you on the website or within dizmoStore; they may vary from country to country. The amounts that can be stored in the wallet are in USD, they are limited to USD 1’000, and do not carry any interest. Dizmo may at its own discretion define the amounts that can be added to the wallet. Subject to applicable law, funds added to the wallet are non-refundable and non-transferable. Wallet funds have no value outside dizmoStore and can only be used to purchase Applications or services from dizmoStore. Subject to applicable law, wallet funds that are deemed abandoned or unused by law will not be returned or restored. By completing a purchase transaction through dizmoID, you agree that you will pay for all Applications or services you purchase through the Services and authorize Dizmo to deduct from the wallet all applicable fees due and payable in order to effect such payment.
- The charges stated in the dizmoStore are net, including any sales tax or value added taxes, as the case may be (based on your address), but exclusive of any import duties and other taxes and charges in your country. You acknowledge and agree that Dizmo has no obligation to provide you with a particular form of invoice, unless the law applicable to Dizmo requires otherwise.
- All charges have to be paid fully in advance, and all sales of Applications and services in dizmoStore are final. All charges paid are non-refundable, except where applicable law requires otherwise. If a sale transaction has to be reversed due to applicable law, any refunds are again added to your wallet; Dizmo will not make any refunds in cash or otherwise, except where required by applicable law.
V. Service and Contract Changes
- Dizmo may change the descriptions and charges of Services at any time, at its discretation and without prior notice by amending its website. In particular, Dizmo may at any time, in its own discretion and without prior notice add, change and remove Services and related charges, including instituting new charges.
- As an exception to the foregoing paragraph, changes to the Services already subscribed and paid for by you, including the charges for such Services, will become effective only upon the following end of the term for which you have already paid for the Services. If you do not agree to any such changes to the Services, including price changes, and you have chosen an automatic renewal of the term of such Service, then you must cancel the Service prior to the end of the current term. Dizmo will inform you of the change by sending an e-mail to your last known e-mail address pursuant to your Registration Data.
- Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph, Dizmo may at any time apply changes also to Services already subscribed and paid for by you during the current term of such Services if such changes (a) either do not material change the general nature, functionality and purpose of the Service or (b) become necessary from a security, performance or otherwise technical or organizational point of view or (c) are triggered by changes on the part of Dizmo’s suppliers or service providers. Dizmo will attempt to inform you reasonably in advance of such changes.
- Any changes to this User Agreement shall be agreed in writing. However, Dizmo may change this User Agreement by providing you advance notice either through dizmoStore (upon your next login) or by sending an e-mail to your last known e-mail address pursuant to your Registration Data (or using another form of personal communication). Such changes shall be deemed accepted by you and become effective as of the date (a) on which you indicate your acceptance within dizmoStore, or (b) if Dizmo has not received your written notice of your termination of this User Agreement at the latest within 30 days of Dizmo’s notice of the proposed changes to you.
VI. Termination and Suspension
- This User Agreement is effective until terminated. Unless terminated earlier, Services are provided to you for as long as they have been paid for by you or, if not paid for or for the time thereafter, if and to the extent Dizmo is making them available to you, which it may do at its discretion.
- Dizmo may at any time terminate or suspend this User Agreement and any Service provided under this User Agreement for convenience without giving further reason or advance notice, except that in the case of paid-for Services already paid for by you, such termination or suspension shall become effective only upon the end of the term for which you have already paid.

Also, in case of a suspension of your dizmoID, the performance of the Services may continue, even though you may not be able to access and benefit from it.
- Any liability of Dizmo in connection with a premature or termination for cause or convenience is disclaimed to the extent permitted by law.

You agree to comply with such exclusion for the period of time it has been issued. Any attempt to circumvent or violate such exclusion shall permit Dizmo to immediately terminate the User Agreement involved for cause, and claim for damages.
