1. General
These General Terms apply generally to the use of the service Meetby (the "Service" or Meetby), and constitute a contract between you and the company providing the Service, Video Communication Services AS, Gate 1 no. 101, 6700 Måløy, Norway ("The Company"). These terms govern your access to and use of the Meetby application and website (the "Service"), and any video, sound, text, graphics, or other materials sent, received, stored or otherwise appearing in the Service (collectively referred to as "Content"). Parts of the Service may display Content that is not Meetby's (“User Content”). Such content is the sole responsibility of the person or entity that has made it available. When "Content" is used in this document, it refers to both the content provided by Meetby and the User Content collectively, unless otherwise specified.
Where applicable, "The Company" shall also be understood as a reference to affiliates, suppliers, partners and other third parties Meetby may engage or otherwise cooperate with in connection with the Service
By using Meetby you agree to these General Terms and the Privacy Policy (collectively referred to as "Terms"). Please read them carefully. If you don’t agree to the Terms, you can’t use Meetby.
We may change these Terms at any time. If a change is material, we’ll let you know before it takes effect provided that we have your correct email address. By using Meetby on or after that effective date, you agree to the new Terms. If you don’t agree to them, you should delete your account before they take effect, otherwise your use of the Service and Content will be subject to the new Terms. For paid versions of the Services or Content that you have already purchased, we will notify you at least 30 days prior to any material changes, including price changes.
2. Age limitation
Meetby is only for people 16 years old and over. By using Meetby, you affirm that you are over 16. If we learn that someone under 16 is using Meetby, we’ll terminate their account. For use in educational settings or use of our Meetings API in your own service, contact us.
3. How you can use the Service
The Free version of Meetby is for legitimate individual use only (personal or business communication). Commercial use of Meetby as part of your own business offering requires one of our paid plans or the Meetings API. Your use of Meetby requires that you have hardware, software and an Internet connection fulfilling certain recommended requirements, as may be specified in our Support Center. If the recommended requirements are not met, you may potentially still use the Service, but normally with a lower quality or performance. Such reduced quality or performance will not give you the right to claim any compensation from Meetby.

Charging for Use of the Services
The Service is available as a Free plan for personal use, a paid Pro plan for professional use by individuals, and a Business plan for professional use by teams or organizations. We also offer a developer API ("Meetings API") as an extension of the Business plan, for customers who want to integrate Meetby in their own products or tools.
As a Free user, you can at any time choose to upgrade your account, which will give you additional Pro features in the rooms you own. The Pro features will then be available to all guests visiting the room, even if they’re anonymous. We reserve the right to change the features included in our plans, the price of the paid plan and the structure of the plan at any time.
The Business plan requires allows you as the account creator to invite other users to create a profile in the account. By signing up for a Business account, you confirm that you are a legal representative, or are acting on behalf of such person, of the company name used in the account subdomain. You may not set up an account that impersonates or infringes on other’s trademarks.

You will find an updated overview of the content of the plans on our Pricing page. Details around use and billing of the Meetings API will be outlined in the Order Form you as a customer commit to. We will notify all paying users of material changes to the content, price and terms of the plan.
All payments shall be made in advance or otherwise as laid out on the Pricing page. If your payment is not successful, your room will be downgraded to the Free plan with access to Pro features removed. If you have created more than one room during your Pro subscription, you will need to select one room to keep using with the Meetby Free plan. Upgrading to Pro or Business will start a recurring subscription, and you will be billed every month in advance, on the day of month the subscription was first created. You can cancel the subscription at any time in the billing page, and you will then have access to Pro features for the remainder of the month you have paid for. When that month ends, your account will automatically be downgraded to the Free plan. Should you choose to reactivate your subscription before the account is downgraded, you will continue to have Pro features uninterrupted. In the case where payment fails for Pro and Business customers, you will be notified by email and inside the service. If repeated attempts to collect the payment fails, we may disable or block access to the account until payment of all invoices are settled. If payment is not received within a reasonable time, as outlined in our support center, the account will be downgraded to Free (for Pro) or deleted (for Business).
