  6. Subscription

    1. Knapsack’s Services are provided on a periodical Subscription basis.
    2. Subscription Fee depends on the number of Committers. The number of Committers is determined by Knapsack based on data about the use of the Software by the Customer. Tools such as Dependabot are also counted as a Committer. We reserve the right to estimate Committer counts in case when they are not detected or look very unreliable compared to the average amongst Customers. We reserve the right to refuse Service to the Customer, in particular if the Customer makes it difficult or impossible to determine the actual number of Committers.
    3. We offer three basic Subscription plans:

      1. Free – it is available free of charge, if the number of your Committers does not exceed the limit specified on our Website in the Pricing tab.
      2. Pro - it is available in the form of a monthly Subscription. The Subscription Fee for this Subscription plan depends on the number of Committers. The Subscription Fee per Committer is specified on our Website in the Pricing tab. Knapsack reserves the right to automatically increase the Subscription Fee if the number of Committers for a given Customer increases. The increase in the Subscription Fee will take effect no earlier than the billing month immediately following the increase in the number of Committers. We do not automatically reduce the Subscription Fee if the number of Committers decreases. However, you can contact us and report that the number of Committers has decreased. After positive verification, the Subscription Fee will be reduced to the current number of Committers starting from the next billing month. We will not issue a prorated refund for paid Committers that have not been used.
      3. Enterprise - Subscription terms, Subscription Fee, and features available with this Subscription Plan are individually agreed with the Customer. Knapsack reserves the right to renegotiate the subscription terms, in particular to increase the Subscription Fee if the Customer starts using the Software more intensively (e.g. more Committers will be detected).

    4. We also offer two specific Subscription plans:

      1. Open Source – this Subscription plan is available free of charge for an unlimited number of Committers. To qualify for Open Source Subscription, you must meet the following requirements:

        1. the project’s source code must be available in a public location with an OSI-approved license;
        2. the Knapsack Pro Badge must be added to your README Project;
        3. the entity must be of non-commercial nature.

        Notwithstanding the above, We reserve the right to freely select entities that will use our Services on the basis of an Open Source Subscription.

      2. The Knapsack Pro Heroku add-on – this Subscription plan is available and subject to payment via the Heroku Elements Marketplace.

    5. After the 14-days free trial period, unless your Subscription is free of charge (i.e. Open Source, Free Plan), we shall send you an e-mail notification with a request to pay the adequate Subscription fee for the first Subscription Period.
    6. The day of the month when you paid your first Subscription fee is the Billing date.
    7. The Subscription renews automatically for subsequent Subscription Periods, unless you cancel the Subscription.
    8. You may cancel the Subscription at any time.
    9. Knapsack will charge the applicable Subscription fee for each following Subscription Period on the Billing date. If your Billing date is the 29th, 30th, or 31st of the month, we will charge the Subscription fee on the last day of the month.
    10. We may change and modify our Subscription plans, launch new Subscription plans, and also decide to discontinue a specific Subscription plan and shift a given Customer to a different subscription plan at any time. However, any changes to your Subscription plan will apply no earlier than 30 days following notice to you, unless otherwise provided in these Terms or if otherwise agreed upon by You and Knapsack.
    11. Your continued use of the Services after the change of the Subscription plan, according to Clause 6.10, constitutes an agreement to new Subscription terms. If you do not agree with the change of the subscription plan, you have the right to reject the change by canceling your Subscription prior to the change going into effect.
    12. Any changes to these Conditions will not affect your current Subscription plan unless Knapsack expressly informs you that the changes will apply.

    2. Payment for the Services is by direct debit via the external payment system Braintree, operated by PayPal (Europe) S.à r.l. et Cie, S.C.A. with a registered office in Luxembourg.
    3. The Customer’s designated credit card will be charged automatically for each following Subscription Period on the Billing date.
    4. The payments will be recurring, which means that payments will be made to Knapsack by the method indicated by You, until the Subscription for that Service is terminated by Knapsack or by You.
    5. The Subscription fee for every following Subscription period is charged on the Billing date. Subscription fees are charged in advance of the applicable Subscription period.
    6. The Customer must cancel the Subscription before the Billing date to avoid being charged for the following Subscription period.
    7. By authorising recurring payments, the Customer is authorising Knapsack to store its payment instrument’s data and to process such payments as charges to your designated credit card.
    8. Customers with the Enterprise Subscription Plan can choose to pay their Subscription Fee by bank transfer on the basis of an invoice issued by Knapsack. In such a case, the Customer pays the Subscription Fee to the Knapsack's bank account indicated in the invoice and within the time limit specified in this invoice. The date of payment is deemed to be the same as the date of the crediting of Knapsack's bank account.
    9. The amount of the applicable Subscription fee can be found on the Billing page within an Individual account.
    10. We reserve the right to launch and cancel special offers or change them in line with the provisions of applicable law.

    2. Once the subscription expires, your account will remain active for 2 years. This means you can easily get back to using our services again. After your subscription expires, you must log into your account or use Knapsack Pro API at least once in a two-year period to keep your account active, otherwise it will be deleted. If you decide to continue using the Knapsack Pro service within the time specified above, we will ask you for payment.
