1. Introduction
1.1. Our Purpose

Our services offer our users the ability to subscribe to beautiful and highly functional online presence, to manage and promote businesses, content and ideas, and have an overall great experience doing so – without being tech-savvy or a design guru. As detailed below, we offer our users several options for creating, publishing and use of stunning websites and services.

1.2. Legal Agreement

These Business Barn Terms of Use (“Terms of Use”), together with such additional terms which specifically apply to some of our services and features as presented on the Business Barn website(s) all set forth the entire terms and conditions applicable to each visitor or user (“User” our “you”) of the Business Barn Website.

You may visit and/or use the Business Barn Services and only if you fully agree to the Business Barn Terms – and by using and/or registering to any of the Business Barn Services, you signify and affirm your informed consent to these Terms of Use and any other Business Barn Terms applicable to your use of any Business Barn Services. If you do not read, fully understand and agree to the Business Barn Terms, you must immediately leave the Business Barn Website and avoid or discontinue all use of the Business Barn Services.

By using our Services, you acknowledge that you have read our Privacy Policy available at https://www.businessbarn.com/privacy-policy (“Privacy Policy”).

1.3. User Account

In order to access and use certain sections and features of the Business Barn Services, you must first register and create an account with Business Barn (“User Account”).

If anyone other than yourself accesses your User Account and/or any of your User Platforms’ settings, they may perform any actions available to you (unless as specifically stated otherwise on the Business Barn Services), make changes to your User Platform(s) and User Account, and accept any legal terms available therein, make various representations and warranties and more – and all such activities will be deemed to have occurred on your behalf and in your name.

Therefore, we strongly encourage you to keep the log-in credentials of your User Account confidential, and allow such access only to people you trust – as you will be solely and fully responsible for all activities that occur under your User Account and/or User Platforms (including for any representations, warranties and undertakings made therein), whether or not specifically authorized by you, and for any damages, expenses or losses that may result from such activities.

You must provide accurate and complete information when registering your User Account and using the Business Barn Services, to which you are the sole and exclusive rights holder. We strongly encourage you to provide your own (or your company’s) contact and billing details, including your valid e-mail address, as we may use it to identify and determine the actual and true owner of the User Account and/or User Content (as defined below) submitted to us.

In case of a dispute on User Account ownership, we reserve the right to determine ownership to a User Account based on our reasonable judgment, whether or not an independent investigation has been conducted by us. However, if we cannot make such determination (as we may deem in our sole discretion), we reserve the right to avoid doing so and/or suspend a User Account until the parties disputing such ownership, reach a resolution, without liability to you or to any other party. We may request documentation (e.g. government-issued ID, a business license) that may assist us in determining ownership. Among others, we may consider the principles set forth below.

  1. Business Barn will consider the owner of a User Account, User Platform and/or User Content created and/or uploaded to the relevant Business Barn Service, as the person or entity who has access to the e-mail address then listed in Business Barn’s records for such User Account under which such User Platform or User Content was created.
  2. If any Paid Services (as defined in Section 5 below) were purchased via a User Account, Business Barn will consider the owner of such User Account and/or the relevant User Platform and/or User Content created thereunder, may be considered to be the person or entity whose billing details were used to purchase such Paid Services (“Billing Information”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, when applicable if a User Platform was connected to an external domain name (either imported or purchased as part of certain Paid Services, as defined below), and such domain’s registration information is publicly available via the WHOIS database provided on the www.whois.net website or on Business Barn’s database, Business Barn will consider the owner of such User Platform as the person or entity registered as the registrant of such domain thereunder. In the event that an individual and an organization are both registered as the registrant or the registrant organization of such domain, Business Barn will consider the organization as the actual owner of the domain, and therefore as the owner of the User Platform connected to such domain. In event the Billing Information indicates one person as the owner of the User Platform and the domain registration indicates a different owner, Business Barn shall consider the person registered as the owner of the domain connected to the Business Barn Account as the owner of the User Platform.
  3. Notwithstanding the forgoing, Business Barn shall have the right to determine the ownership of User Content and/or a User Website as it chooses, including by ignoring the indications set forth above, in event Business Barn deems, at its sole discretion, that the situation justifies such determination, all based upon the factual situation as determined by Business Barn.

Certain parts of the Business Barn Services (including certain Third Party Services available therein, as further explained in Section 8 below) require or involve the submission, collection and/or use of certain personally identifying or identifiable information. In particular and as a part of accessing or using the Business Barn Services, Business Barn and such Third Party Services may collect, access and use certain data pertaining to Users and End Users, including the activities or navigation undertaken by Users and End Users through the Business Barn Services and/or User Platforms. We encourage you to read our Privacy Policy on a regular basis, for a description of such data collection and use practices.

5. Service Fees
5.1. Paid Services

The use of certain Business Barn Services may be subject to payment of particular fees, as determined by Business Barn in its sole discretion (“Paid Services” and “Fee(s)”, respectively). Business Barn will provide notice of such Fees then in effect in relation to such Paid Services. If you wish to receive or use such Paid Services, you are required to pay all applicable Fees in advance.

Business Barn reserves the right to change its Fees at any time, upon notice to you if such change may affect your existing subscriptions. If you received a discount or other promotional offer, Business Barn shall have the right to automatically and without notice renew your subscription to such Business Barn Service(s) at the full applicable Fee.

All Fees shall be deemed to be in U.S. Dollars, except as specifically stated otherwise in writing by Business Barn. To the extent permitted by law (and unless specified otherwise by Business Barn in writing), all Fees are exclusive of all taxes (including value added tax, sales tax, goods and services tax, etc.), levies or duties imposed by taxing authorities (“Taxes”), and you shall be responsible for payment of all applicable Taxes relating to your use of the Business Barn Services, or to any payments or purchases made by you. If Business Barn is obligated to collect or pay Taxes for the Fees payable by you, and whether or not such Taxes were added and collected from you for previous transactions, such Taxes may be added to the payment of any outstanding Fees and will be reflected in the Invoice for such transaction. We recommend that you verify the existence of any additional fees you may be charged by third parties in connection with the purchase of Paid Services or in connection with the renewal thereof (such as international transaction fees, currency exchange fees or fees due to banks or credit card companies). Business Barn is not responsible for any such additional fees or costs.

As part of registering or submitting information to receive Paid Services, you also authorize Business Barn (either directly or through its affiliates, subsidiaries or other third parties) to request and collect payment (or otherwise charge, refund or take any other billing actions) from our payment provider or your designated banking account, and to make any inquiries Business Barn or its affiliates may consider necessary to validate your designated payment account or financial information, in order to ensure prompt payment, including for the purpose of receiving updated payment details from your payment, credit card or banking account provider (e.g., updated expiry date or card number as may be provided to us by your credit card company).

5.2. Invoices

Business Barn and/or its affiliated companies will issue an invoice or credit memo for any payment of Fees or refund made to or by Business Barn (“Invoice”). Each Invoice will be issued in electronic form and based on the country stated in your billing address, and will be made available to you via your User Account and/or by e-mail. For the purpose of issuing the Invoice, you may be required to furnish certain Personal Information (as such term is defined in the Privacy Policy) in order to comply with local laws. Please note that the Invoice presented in your User Account may be inadequate with your local law requirements, and in such case may be used for pro forma purposes only.

5.3. Subscription Auto-Renewals

In order to ensure that you do not experience any interruption or loss of services, certain Paid Services include an automatic renewal option by default, according to which, unless you turn-off  the auto-renewal option, such Paid Services will automatically renew upon the end of the applicable subscription period, for a renewal period equal in time to the original subscription period (excluding extended periods) and, unless otherwise notified to you, at the same price (subject to applicable Taxes changes and excluding any discount or other promotional offer provided for the first period) (“Renewing Paid Services”). For example, if the original subscription period for a Service is one month, each of its renewal periods (where applicable) will be for one month. Accordingly, where applicable, Business Barn will attempt to automatically charge you the applicable Fees using the Stored Card, within up-to two (2) weeks before such renewal period commences. In the event of failure to collect the Fees owed by you, we may in our sole discretion (but shall not be obligated to) retry to collect on a later time, and/or suspend or cancel your User Account, without further notice. If your Renewing Paid Service is subject to a yearly or multiple-year subscription period, Business Barn will endeavor to provide you a notice prior to the renewal of such Paid Service at least thirty (30) days in advance of the renewal date.

By entering into this Agreement and by purchasing a Renewing Paid Service, you acknowledge and agree that the Renewing Paid Service shall automatically renew in accordance with the above terms.  

You may turn-off the auto-renewal option or cancel your Renewing Paid Services at any time via your User Account or by contacting info@businessbarn.com

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, you are and shall be solely responsible to verify and ensure the successful renewal of the Business Barn Services you use (whether or not such Business Barn Services are subject to automatic subscription renewals). Accordingly, you shall be solely responsible with respect to any discontinuation of any Business Barn Services previously purchased by you, including due to a cancellation, failure to charge the applicable recurring Fees, or due to any Business Barn Services not being subject to automatic subscription renewals. You acknowledge and agree that you shall not have any claims against Business Barn in relation to the discontinuation of any Business Barn Services or Third Party Services, for whatever reason.

5.4. Refunds

All fees for a period of service or subscription commitment which is your initial purchase of such service does not qualify for cancellation for any reason. A refund is only applicable from Business Barn when services have not been implemented in designing your page. If Business Barn receives such notice within such Refund Period (24 hours), Business Barn will refund to you the amount Business Barn charged you for such Business Barn Services, in currency you were originally charged in, and cancel them accordingly. After the Refund Period, the Fees paid by you are non-refundable and non-cancellable. In addition, if we find that a notice of cancellation has been given in bad faith or in an illegitimate attempt to avoid payment for services actually received and enjoyed, we reserve our right to still charge the User who provided such notice for any Business Barn Services actually received, as permitted by law.

5.5. Chargebacks

If, at any time, we record a decline, chargeback or other rejection of a charge of any payable Fees on your Business Barn account (“Chargeback”), this will be considered as a breach of your payment obligations hereunder, and your use of the Business Barn Services may be automatically disabled or terminated.

In the event a Chargeback is performed, your User Account may be blocked without the option to re-purchase or re-use it, and any data contained in such User Account, including any domains, applications and Third Party Services may be subject to cancellation.

Your use of the Business Barn Services will not resume until you re-subscribe for any such Business Barn Services, and pay any applicable Fees in full, including any fees and expenses incurred by Business Barn and/or any Third Party Services for each Chargeback received (including Fees for Business Barn Services provided prior to the Chargeback, handling and processing charges and fees incurred by the payment processor).

If you have any questions or concerns regarding a payment made to Business Barn, we encourage you to contact us before filing a Chargeback or reversal of payment, in order to prevent the Business Barn Services from being cancelled and your User Account being blocked, and to avoid the filing of an unwarranted or erroneous Chargeback, which may result in your being liable for its applicable Fees, in addition to re-payment of all the Fees applicable to the Business Barn Services purchased (and charged-back) by you.

We reserve our right to dispute any Chargeback received, including by providing the relevant credit card company or financial institution with any information and documentation proving that the User responsible for such Chargeback did in fact authorize the transaction and make use of the services rendered thereafter.

6. Cancellation
6.1. Cancellation by User

You may discontinue to use and request to cancel your User Account and/or any Business Barn Services at any time, in accordance with the instructions available on the Business Barn Services. The effective date and time for such cancellation shall be the date and time on which you have completed the cancellation process on the Business Barn Services, and the effective date for cancellation of Paid Services shall be at the end of such Paid Services’ subscription period.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, with respect to subscriptions to Renewing Paid Services, such subscription will be discontinued only upon the expiration of the respective period for which you have already made payment. Please note that as the cancellation process may take a few days, in order to avoid the next automatic renewal and respective charge the cancellation request should be made at least fourteen (14) days prior to the expiration of the then-current service period.

For more information about cancelling your Paid Services, please contact info@businessbarn.com

6.2. Cancellation by Business Barn

Failure to comply with any of the Business Barn Terms and/or to pay any due Fee shall entitle Business Barn to suspend (until full payment is made) or cancel your User Account and User Platform (or certain features thereof), as well as the provision of any related Business Barn Services (e.g., Paid Services) or Third Party Services to you.

6.3. Loss of Data, Content and Capacity

If your User Account or any Business Barn Services or Third Party Services related to your User Account are cancelled (whether at your request or at Business Barn’s discretion), it may cause or result in the loss of certain content, features, or capacity of your User Account, including any User Content, End User data or other usage data retained therein, and including any domain name reservation or registration that was included in such Services. Business Barn shall not be liable in any way for such Capacity Loss, or for saving a backup of your User Account, User Content or End User data. Please also note that additional Fees may apply to re-activation of a User Account and/or any Business Barn Services following their cancellation, as determined by Business Barn in its sole discretion.

8. Video Services

9. Third Party Services
