1. Usage License

The Owner grants the Subscriber a non-exclusive Service usage license, as an ancillary service inherent to the existence of an active subscription by the Subscriber. This License shall be considered to be granted to the Subscriber once he accepts its terms and conditions at the moment of registration to the Service, and its duration shall depend on the specific category selected, as well as on the specific conditions that may apply.

1.1.    The Subscription to the service shall be activated for the first time upon the payment of the first instalment for the category selected by the Subscriber upon registration, and shall remain active as long as the instalments set forth for it are paid as per the corresponding periodicity. If, once registered, the Subscriber fails to activate a subscription, or fails to maintain a subscription active, this usage License shall no longer take effect, and the Owner may delete the Subscriber’s account. The Owner will publish on the Service Website all information related to the various subscription categories on offer, including their corresponding prices.

1.2.    The Service License is non-exclusive and non-transferrable, and enables the Subscriber and the Users linked to his account, identified within it, to use the Service as per the hired subscription category and in full compliance with the terms and conditions set forth herein.
