These Terms of Service (these “Terms of Service”) describe your rights and responsibilities when using our video as a message service and associated tools (collectively, the “Service”) made available by Vaam AB (“Vaam”). Your use and registration to use the Service indicates that you agree on behalf of yourself or the entity that you represent (collectively, “you”) to be bound by these Terms of Service as well as the Vaam Privacy Policy. Please read them carefully before registering for or otherwise using the Vaam Service.
Vaam may at any time revise these Terms of Service by updating this posting. You are bound by any such revisions and should therefore periodically visit this page to review the current Terms of Service to which you are bound.
Vaam offers a video as a message service. Vaam is offered via the following plans:
Vaam Free: For people who need to record and send quick videos. This basic version is available for free when you register for Vaam. This plan is limited to a 2-minute recording limit, 100 videos accessible simultaneously, and a 720p resolution.
Vaam Pro: For people who need more advanced recording, as well as a longer recording limit. This pro version is available on a paid basis via either a monthly or annual subscription. It provides unlimited number of accessible videos, a 15-minute recording limit, a customised landing page for your organisation, a call-to-action-button in the video, the possibility to have password restriction, HD resolution and engagement insights of your videos.
Visit vaam.io for further information on the service offerings, which Vaam will improve and endeavour over time.
If you register for Vaam Pro, you agree to pay all fees or charges to your account for the Service in accordance with the fees, charges and billing terms in effect at the time that each fee or charge is due and payable. Unless otherwise indicated in an order form, you must provide Vaam with a valid credit card from an issuer accepted by us (“Payment Provider”) as a condition to signing up for the Vaam Pro. Your Payment Provider agreement governs your use of the designated credit card account, and you must refer to that agreement and not these Terms of Service to determine your rights and liabilities with respect to your Payment Provider. By providing Vaam with your credit card number and associated payment information, you agree that Vaam is authorized to verify information immediately, and subsequently invoice your account for all fees and charges due and payable to Vaam and that no additional notice or consent is required. You agree to immediately notify Vaam of any change in your billing address or the credit card used for payment. Vaam reserves the right at any time to change its prices and billing methods.
We apply the right of withdrawal of 14 days in accordance with the Distance Contracts Act.
You are responsible for any third-party fees that you may incur when using the Service.
Unpaid invoices that are not subject to good faith are subject to interest at a rate of 10% per month on the outstanding balance, plus all reasonable expenses of collection, in addition to any other remedies we may have.
You may stop using the Service at any time. You do not need to specifically inform Vaam when you stop using the Service. You acknowledge and agree that Vaam may stop (permanently or temporarily) providing the Service to you or to users generally at Vaam’s sole discretion.
