Service description

The service is an online service targeted for people who are involved in the sport of dog agility. More specific and up to date service description can be found at www.aginotes.com. The service is a responsive, mobile-first web-based service used through an internet browser. The features available for the user may depend on the type of plan selected by the user and payment of associated usage fees. Use of the service with limited features may be free of charge, but additional features require payment of annual subscription fees.

Prices and payment methods

Use of the service with limited features is free of charge, but additional features require payment of an annual or monthly subscription fee. Subscription fee may also vary depending on the term the user chooses for the contract (1 month or 12 months). Use of the service is paid in advance at the time of making a contract. The subscription continues and the payment is recurring unless the user cancels it before the ongoing subscription period ends. By subscribing to the premium the user gives AgiNotes a permission to initiate a payment or a series of payments on his/her behalf.

The applicable subscription fees for the additional paid features are available at www.aginotes.com or otherwise provided to the user prior to upgrading the agreement for the service. All fees are in euros, unless otherwise provided. All fees are VAT inclusive according to the applicable tax laws in force from time to time.

Order cancellation by user

The Finnish Consumer Protection Act (kuluttajansuojalaki) specifies the conditions when a consumer (kuluttaja-asiakas) can cancel an order made distantly. By default, a consumer may cancel an order within 14 days. Regarding digital content and services (such as our service), the 14-day cancellation period is calculated from making the contract for the use of the service. However, a customer has not a right to cancel an order for the use of a digital service, if the delivery of the service is started with customer’s consent prior to elapsing of the 14 day cancellation period.

By making a contract for the use of the service, the user gives consent that the delivery of the service is considered to be started when the customer has received login details and can start the use of the service. Therefore, a contract for the use of the service cannot be cancelled.
