Use of the Service
The Service is designed to assist clients in the provision and sale of commercial services and products which provision or sale is permissible under Irish law. The Service cannot be used for any other purpose including (but not limited to) any illegal purpose, any sale or provision of illegal goods or any breach of intellectual property.
Many sectors are regulated in how they can market their products or services. It is a matter for each client to familiarise themselves with any regulations, laws or civil or criminal requirements relating to the use of the Service by them. The Service Provider takes no responsibility for any use of the Service which proves to be in breach of any legal obligations, state regulations, or other civil or criminal legal requirements whatsoever.
Free Trial
Your Mayfly Marketing Ltd (T/A Mayfly Digital) service may start with a free trial. The free trial period of your service lasts for one month, or as otherwise specified during sign-up. Free trials may not be combined with any other offers. Free trials are for new and certain former subscribers only. Mayfly Marketing Ltd (T/A Mayfly Digital) reserves the right, in its absolute discretion, to determine your free trial eligibility.
We will begin billing your Payment Method for monthly licence fees at the end of the free trial period of your service unless you cancel prior to the end of the free trial period. We may authorize your Payment Method through various methods, including authorizing it up to approximately one month of service as soon as you register. In some instances, your available balance or credit limit may be reduced to reflect the authorization during your free trial period.
You will not receive a notice from us that your free trial period has ended or that the paying portion of your service has begun. We will continue to bill your Payment Method on a monthly basis for your subscription fee.
Payment Terms
The Licence Fee is the amount payable each month by a client who wishes to avail of the Service. The amount of the Licence Fee is shown on the Order Form signed by or on behalf of each client.
By starting your Mayfly Marketing Ltd (T/A Mayfly Digital) service, you authorize us to charge you a monthly membership fee at the then current rate, and any other charges you may incur in connection with your use of the Mayfly Marketing Ltd (T/A Mayfly Digital) service to your Payment Method. You acknowledge that the amount billed each month may vary from month to month for reasons that may include differing amounts due to promotional offers and/or changing or adding a plan, and you authorize us to charge your Payment Method for such varying amounts, which may be billed monthly in one or more charges.
The Licence Fee must be paid monthly in advance by credit or debit card, or by bank standing order if Mayfly Marketing Ltd (T/A Mayfly Digital) so agree.
All fees are exclusive of VAT, and VAT will be charged at the appropriate rate payable at the time the Licence Fee must be paid.
The subscription fee for our service will be billed at the beginning of the paying portion of your service and each month thereafter unless and until you cancel your subscription. We automatically bill your Payment Method each month on the calendar day corresponding to the commencement of your paying service. Subscription fees are fully earned upon payment. We reserve the right to change the timing of our billing, in particular, as indicated below, if your Payment Method has not successfully settled. In the event your paying subscription began on a day not contained in a given month, we may bill your Payment Method on a day in the applicable month or such other day as we deem appropriate. For example, if you started your Mayfly Marketing Ltd (T/A Mayfly Digital) service or became a paying subscriber on January 31st, your next payment date is likely to be February 28th, and your Payment Method would be billed on that date. Your renewal date may change due to changes in your subscription. We may authorize your Payment Method in anticipation of subscription or service-related charges. As used in these Terms of Use, “billing” shall indicate a charge, debit or other payment clearance, as applicable, against your Payment Method. Unless otherwise stated differently, month or monthly refers to your billing cycle.
PAYMENTS ARE NONREFUNDABLE AND THERE ARE NO REFUNDS OR CREDITS FOR PARTIALLY USED PERIODS. Following any cancellation, however, you will continue to have access to the service through the end of your current billing period. At any time, and for any reason, we may provide a refund, discount, or other consideration to some or all of our members (“credits”). The amount and form of such credits, and the decision to provide them, are at our sole and absolute discretion. The provision of credits in one instance does not entitle you to credits in the future for similar instances, nor does it obligate us to provide credits in the future, under any circumstance.
We reserve the right to adjust pricing for our service or any components thereof in any manner and at any time as we may determine in our sole and absolute discretion. Except as otherwise expressly provided for in these Terms of Use, any price changes to your service will take effect following email notice to you.
If payment is not successfully settled, due to expiration, insufficient funds, or otherwise, and you do not change your Payment Method information or cancel your account (see, “Cancellation” below), you remain responsible for any uncollected amounts and authorize us to continue billing the Payment Method, as it may be updated. This may result in a change to your payment billing dates. If payment is not received within 48 hours of due date, all services provided by us to that client will be switched off and suspended until payment is received and a reconnection fee of €150 is paid. If no payment is received within 7 days of the original payment due date, the contract will be deemed to be cancelled and no further services will be provided to the customer.

This Agreement starts on the first day of payment and the minimum period is a duration of one year from that date. At the end of any Minimum Period this Agreement will continue until it’s ended by you or us in line with the below.

If you upgrade your service with us you agree that a new agreement and a new Minimum Period of one year duration will apply. This will start the first day of payment and the minimum period is a duration of one year from that date.
