 The TeamRuta service is provided to you by Beritra, EIRL. These Terms of Use govern your use of our service. As used in these Terms of Use, "Beritra service", "our service" or "the service" means the personalized service provided by Beritra for discovering and accessing Beritra apps, including all features and functionalities, recommendations, and reviews, our websites, and user interfaces, as well as all content and software associated with our service. References to ‘you’ in these Terms of Use indicate the member who created the Beritra account and whose payment method is charged.

Your Beritra membership will continue until terminated. To use the Beritra service you must have Internet access and a Beritra-ready device, and provide us with one or more Payment Methods. “Payment Method” means a current, valid, accepted method of payment, as may be updated from time to time, and which may include payment through your account with a third party. Unless you cancel your membership before your billing date, you authorize us to charge the membership fee for the next billing cycle to your Payment Method (see "Cancellation" below).

We may offer several membership plans, including memberships offered by third parties in conjunction with the provision of their products and services. We are not responsible for the products and services provided by such third parties. Some membership plans may have differing conditions and limitations, which will be disclosed at your sign-up or in other communications made available to you.

Offer eligibility is determined by Beritra at its sole discretion and we reserve the right to revoke an Offer and put your account on hold if we determine you are not eligible. We may use information such as device ID, method of payment, or an account email address used with an existing or recent Beritra membership to determine Offer eligibility.

 Billing and Cancellation

Billing Cycle. The membership fee for the Beritra service and any other charges you may incur in connection with your use of the service, such as taxes and possible transaction fees, will be charged to your Payment Method on the specific payment date indicated by your subscription plan. The length of your billing cycle will depend on the type of subscription that you choose when you signed up for the service. In some cases, your payment date may change, for example, if your Payment Method has not successfully settled, when you change your subscription plan, or if your paid membership began on a day not contained in a given month. We may authorize your Payment Method in anticipation of membership or service-related charges through various methods, including authorizing it for up to approximately one month of service as soon as you register. If you signed up for Beritra using your account with a third party as a Payment Method, you can find the billing information about your Beritra membership by visiting your account with the applicable third party.

Payment Methods. To use the Beritra service you must provide one or more Payment Methods. You authorize us to charge any Payment Method associated with your account in case your primary Payment Method is declined or no longer available to us for payment of your subscription fee. You remain responsible for any uncollected amounts. If payment is not successfully settled, due to expiration, insufficient funds, or otherwise, and you do not cancel your account, we may suspend your access to the service until we have successfully charged a valid Payment Method. For some Payment Methods, the issuer may charge you certain fees, such as foreign transaction fees or other fees relating to the processing of your Payment Method. Local tax charges may vary depending on the Payment Method used. Check with your Payment Method service provider for details.

Updating your Payment Methods. You can update your Payment Methods. We may also update your Payment Methods using the information provided by the payment service providers. Following any update, you authorize us to continue to charge the applicable Payment Method(s).

To the extent permitted by the applicable law, payments are non-refundable and we do not provide refunds or credits for any partial membership periods or unused Beritra apps. If you cancel your membership, your account will close at the end of your current billing period. If you signed up for Beritra using your account with a third party as a Payment Method and wish to cancel your Beritra membership, you may need to do so through a such third party, for example by visiting your account with the applicable third party and turning off auto-renew, or unsubscribing from the Beritra service through that third party.
