Definitions
To help you read and understand these Terms, we’ve set out definitions of some key terms below: “Customer” means the person or entity who registers to use the Ignite Service by creating a Ignite account. If an individual creates an account on behalf of their employer, then the employer will be deemed to be the Customer, and will be bound by these Terms. “Authorised User” means any person or entity that a Customer authorises to use the Ignite Service on its behalf. This includes the Primary Admin (as nominated by the Customer) and other employees and personnel of the Customer who are authorised to use the Ignite Services on the Customer’s behalf, but also includes support partners and other third parties with whom a Customer shares its Ignite account details (and for whose conduct the Customer is responsible). “We” or “Ignite” means Ignite Solutions and any of our related companies. “Ignite Service” means Ignite’s point of sale and inventory management products and services, and any features, technologies or functionality provided by those products or services, offered by us from time to time, including the Ignite Merchant and Ignite POS applications (“Apps”) and Ignite.Solutions (“Website”). Your use of the Ignite Service will also be subject to any allowances and/or limits that apply to the Ignite plan which you’ve purchased. “You” means the Customer and (where the context permits) includes any Authorised Users.

We may also cancel or suspend your account immediately if, in our sole discretion: you have committed a material or persistent breach of these Terms or any other terms applying to your use of the Ignite Services; we consider that provision of the Ignite Services, or use of them, in your territory or jurisdiction will or is likely to breach any applicable law; we decide to withdraw the Ignite Services from your territory or jurisdiction altogether; or you fail to comply with any limits or restrictions (eg, on the number of users, registers or transactions) applicable to your Ignite plan.

If you cancel your account before the end of your current paid up month or year, your cancellation will take effect immediately and you will not be entitled to any refund of Fees paid in advance (unless we agree otherwise). If your account is cancelled, your account will be deactivated and all of your rights granted under these Terms will immediately come to an end (except to the extent that it is necessary for them to continue in respect of our ongoing storage of your data up to the date of permanent deletion). We are not liable for any loss or damage following, or as a result of, cancellation of your account, and it is your responsibility to ensure that any content or data which you require is exported, backed-up or replicated before cancellation.
Fees and taxes
The fees charged for use of the Ignite Services are set out on the Website (or as notified to you in the case of some exclusive plans) (“Fees”) and are subject to change. We can change the Fees, and/or introduce new pricing packages and terms, at any time by giving you 30 days’ prior notice (by email to your Primary Admin or by displaying a message the next time you use the Ignite Services). The new Fees or pricing/package terms will apply to you from expiry of that notice, unless you choose to cancel your account before the changes take effect. Also, the new Fees will apply to you immediately if you choose to change your plan/package (or if you reactivate your plan after cancellation). Fees are charged in advance on a monthly or annual basis and are non-refundable, including if you only use part of a month or year’s subscription for the Ignite Services. Unless required by law, we will not provide refunds in connection with the Ignite Services. A valid credit card number is required for paying all Fees. If you are late in paying any Fees, we may charge a late fee of the greater of USD 20 (excluding GST, if any) or up to 1.5% of the unpaid Fees. If you are carrying out a free trial of the Ignite Services (as offered on the Website or the Apps), the free trial will begin on the day that your account is opened and end of the published trial period. If you wish to continue to use the Ignite Services at the end of the free trial period, you will need to provide valid credit card details (unless you choose to use any free Ignite Services which we may offer from time to time). If you choose not to continue with the Ignite Services, then your account (and all data associated with it) will be deleted after the end of your free trial. Data will be deleted after 30 days following the end of your free trial, unless we’re required to retain it for longer under applicable law.

You indemnify and hold Ignite harmless against any claims by any tax authority for any underpayment of any sales, use, goods and services, value added or other tax or levy, and any penalties and/or interest. If you are required to withhold or deduct tax from the Fees, you will pay Ignite such additional amounts as are necessary to ensure receipt of the full amount which would have been received but for the deduction. If you are located outside of Singapore, then payment of your Fees could incur additional bank fees at the discretion of your bank. Bank fees may be charged for currency conversion and international settlement; and your charge may still be subject to additional fees even if you are being charged by Ignite in your local currency. If your credit card statement charge differs from your Ignite invoice, please contact your bank in the first instance. Ignite is not liable for any additional bank transaction fees that may be charged.

The upgrade or downgrade will become effective immediately. If you downgrade your account, no refunds will be paid in respect of any unused portion of any higher account offering. If you upgrade your account, the balance already paid for the rest of the term will be credited to your account. We will then immediately charge your credit card for any net amount due as a result of the upgrade and your account renewal date will be reset to the next available billing day. Downgrading your account may cause the loss of content, features, or capacity of your account, and reduce the number of registers, users and/or transactions you can use or process. If you choose to downgrade your account, Ignite does not accept any liability for the resulting loss of data, content, features or capacity.
