Please read these Terms and Conditions carefully before using the Service.
Your access to and use of the Service is conditioned on your acceptance of and compliance with these Terms. These Terms apply to all visitors, users and others who access or use the Service.
By accessing or using the Service you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you disagree with any part of the terms then you may not access the Service.
The Loach service is provided by Smicovations. These Terms and Conditions govern your use of our service. As used in these Terms and Conditions, "Loach service", "our service" or "the service" means the software-as-a-service provided by Loach for managing and tracking goals, such as OKRs, including all features, functionalities, our website, and user interfaces, as well as all content and software associated with our service.
Some parts of the Service are billed on a subscription basis ("Subscription(s)"). You will be billed in advance on a recurring and periodic basis ("Billing Cycle"). Billing cycles are set either on a monthly or annual basis, depending on the type of subscription plan you select when purchasing a Subscription.
At the end of each Billing Cycle, your Subscription will automatically renew under the exact same conditions unless you cancel it or Loach cancels it. You may cancel your Subscription renewal either through your online account management page or by contacting Loach customer support team.
A valid payment method, including credit card or PayPal, is required to process the payment for your Subscription. You shall provide Loach with accurate and complete billing information including full name, address, state, zip code, telephone number, and a valid payment method information. By submitting such payment information, you automatically authorize Loach to charge all Subscription fees incurred through your account to any such payment instruments.
Should automatic billing fail to occur for any reason, Loach will issue an electronic invoice indicating that you must proceed manually, within a certain deadline date, with the full payment corresponding to the billing period as indicated on the invoice.
Loach may, at its sole discretion, offer a Subscription with a free trial for a limited period of time ("Free Trial").
You may be required to enter your billing information in order to sign up for the Free Trial.
If you do enter your billing information when signing up for the Free Trial, you will not be charged by Loach until the Free Trial has expired. On the last day of the Free Trial period, unless you cancelled your Subscription, you will be automatically charged the applicable Subscription fees for the type of Subscription you have selected.
At any time and without notice, Loach reserves the right to (i) modify the terms and conditions of the Free Trial offer, or (ii) cancel such Free Trial offer.
Free Tier: Loach offers a free tier of service that allows users to use the platform with up to five (5) users at no charge. This free tier includes access to all features necessary for managing and tracking team OKRs.
Limitations: The free tier is limited to a maximum of five (5) users per organization. Additional users will require a paid subscription. Details of the available subscription plans can be found on the loach.app website under the "Pricing" section.
Upgrade to Paid Plans: If your organization exceeds the five (5) user limit, you will need to upgrade to one of our paid subscription plans. You can upgrade your plan at any time through the "Organization Settgings" section on the platform.loach.app website.
Changes to Free Tier: Loach reserves the right to modify the terms and conditions of the free tier, including the features offered and the user limit. Any such changes will be communicated to users with at least 30 days' notice. Continued use of the free tier after any changes signifies your acceptance of the new terms.
From time to time, Loach may offer special promotional offers or free trials ("Offers"). Eligibility for these Offers is determined at our sole discretion, and we reserve the right to revoke an Offer and put your account on hold if we determine that you are not eligible. Specific terms and conditions for each Offer will be provided during sign-up or through other communications.
We may change our subscription plans and the price of our service from time to time. Any changes to pricing will be communicated to you with at least 30 days' notice before the changes take effect. If you do not wish to accept the new price or changes to your subscription plan, you have the right to cancel your subscription before the changes are applied.
To continue using the Loach service after a price change, your continued use will constitute your acceptance of the new price and/or subscription plan. If you choose to cancel your subscription due to a pricing change, you will continue to have access to the Loach service until the end of your current billing period.
