    Onboarding Policy

    All onboarding of gyms with BETA software must be made in accordance with the following terms and conditions: 

    1. Onboarding: The onboarding process with BETA will commence only after both the client and Chalk Technologies have signed this order form, and for 
      1. Monthly subscription clients - a deposit equivalent to one month's subscription for the determined BETA tier (outlined in the fee structure) has been received by Chalk Technologies and 
      2. Annual subscription clients - the full annual payment for the determined BETA tier (outlined in the fee structure) has been received by Chalk Technologies. 
    2. Order form: By signing the onboarding form, the client confirms their agreement to comply with the target training date and target launch date set out in the onboarding process. The fee structure outlined in the ‘monthly’ and ‘annual’ section of the order form covers the subscription to the use of BETA software and does not include data migration. If data migration of existing clients to BETA software is required by the client, they will be subject to an additional migration fee of €500 for Club and Community tier clients and €300 for Business tier clients. Clients on Enterprise and Custom tiers will not be subject to a migration fee. 
    3. Launch date: The launch date refers to the initiation of the gym's use of BETA software with customers. This initiation can occur either virtually, online or in-app, through pre-sales activities or in real-time within the physical gym environment. The client understands that adherence to the target launch date is essential for the smooth onboarding process, and any delays may impact the agreed-upon schedule. It’s important to note that in the event of a delayed launch date, the determination of the new launch date is at the discretion of the BETA team, considering internal capacity and project planning considerations.
    4. Monthly subscription: Upon subscribing to a monthly plan, clients are required to pay a deposit equivalent to one month's subscription for their chosen BETA tier (specified in the fee structure of their order form) to initiate the onboarding process. Chalk Technologies recognises the potential for unforeseen adjustments and, in the event of a delayed launch date, grants a grace period of 4 weeks from the initial target launch date. This grace period accommodates necessary flexibility, ensuring alignment with the client’s evolving requirements. In the event that there is a new launch date within this four-week period, Chalk Technologies will use the new launch date to set up the client’s monthly direct debit, with their selected trusted payment provider, and the deposit will be reimbursed as a 30-day free trial. However, if the target launch date is delayed beyond this 4-week grace period, the deposit becomes non-refundable.
    5. Annual subscription clients: Upon subscribing to an annual  plan, clients are required to pay the full annual payment for the determined BETA tier (outlined in the fee structure in their order form) to initiate the onboarding process. Chalk Technologies recognises the potential for unforeseen adjustments and, in the event of a delayed launch date, grants a grace period of 4 weeks from the initial target launch date. This grace period accommodates necessary flexibility, ensuring alignment with the client’s evolving requirements. In the event that there is a new launch date within this four-week period, Chalk Technologies will use the new launch date as the start date of the client’s annual subscription with BETA. However, if the new launch date is delayed beyond this 4-week grace period, the start date of the client’s annual subscription will be considered as the day following the final day of the 4-week grace period. The client’s annual subscription will expire exactly 1 year from the start date of their subscription.

    Pricing and Payment Policy

    All payments for BETA software services must be made in accordance with the following terms and conditions:

    1. Invoicing and Due Dates: Invoices for BETA software services will be issued according to the agreed-upon billing cycle. The due date for settled payment on these invoices will be set at 14 days following the date of invoice issuance. This timeline provides our valued clients with a reasonable window for processing payment while ensuring a timely financial workflow. 
    2. Accepted Payment Methods: Payments are to be made using the only accepted payment method; bank transfer, using the bank details provided in the invoice. This streamlined approach ensures secure and efficient financial transactions, contributing to the seamless continuation of our service delivery. 
    3. Direct Debit: In our pursuit of providing optimal payment solutions for our esteemed clients, we set up direct debits for client's on a BETA monthly subscription. This helps avoid late payments and any disruptions to the BETA service.
    4. Add a Payment Method: All clients, regardless of their subscription type (monthly or annual), must add a payment method to their account, on the payment provider selected by BETA, to ensure smooth payment processing of invoices. This allows for automatic charges for any supplementary services. This policy is in place to prevent overdue invoices and the application of late payment fees.
    5. Late Payment Fees: Invoices not paid within 15 days of the due date will incur a late fee of 5% of the outstanding amount. Invoices not settled within 30 days of the due date will have the late fee increased to 15% of the outstanding amount.
    6. Service Disruption: If payment is not received within 30 days of the due date, the BETA software service may be temporarily suspended. To restore the service, the client must settle all outstanding fees, including late fees, in addition to any other dues.
    7. Resolution of Service Disruption: Once the outstanding fees, including late fees, are settled, the client's BETA software service will be reinstated. Reinstatement will occur after the payment is received and processed by our billing department.
    8. Notification of Late Payments: Clients will be notified of overdue payments through the contact information provided on their account. It is the client's responsibility to ensure that their contact information is accurate and up-to-date.
    9. Disputed Charges: If a client believes that there is an error in the invoiced amount, they must promptly notify our billing department for resolution.

    By using BETA, clients agree to abide by these payment terms and conditions, including the late payment fees and service disruption policy.

    Cancellation Policy

    Our cancellation policy for BETA subscriptions is outlined in the following terms and conditions:

    1. Cancellation Process: Clients have the option to cancel their BETA subscription at any point in time. To initiate the cancellation process, clients are required to submit a cancellation request. This request can be made by contacting our designated customer support channels.
    2. Notice Period: To facilitate a smooth transition, clients are advised to submit their cancellation request at least 7 days prior to the commencement of the next billing cycle. This allows us to process the cancellation in a timely manner and prevents charges for the upcoming billing period.
    3. Outstanding Fees: Clients are responsible for settling any outstanding fees or charges that have accumulated up to the date of the subscription cancellation. This includes any fees for services utilised during the subscription period.
    4. Late payment Fees: If a client has inputted a request to cancel their BETA subscription whilst still having pending invoices to be settled, any applicable late payment fees will continue to accrue until the outstanding balance is resolved.
    5. Cancellations and Billing Cycle: Subscription cancellations become effective as of the date specified in the cancellation request. Any charges that are applicable up to this date will be billed accordingly.
    6. Notification of cancellation: Clients will be notified of their cancellation of their BETA subscription through the contact information provided on their account. It is the client's responsibility to ensure that their contact information is accurate and up-to-date.
    7. Refunds and Proration: Please note that subscription fees are non-refundable. In cases where a subscription after the start of the billing cycle, no prorated refunds will be issued for the unused portion of the subscription.
