3. Free and Premium Plans
3.1 Free Plan
Registered users on the Free Plan have access to the core features of the Service at no charge. We reserve the right to modify, limit, or discontinue features available on the Free Plan at any time, with reasonable notice where practicable.
3.2 Premium Plan
Premium Plans are available on a subscription basis. By subscribing to a Premium Plan, you agree to pay the applicable fees as displayed at the time of purchase. All fees are quoted in the currency shown at checkout and are inclusive or exclusive of applicable taxes as stated.
3.3 Billing and Renewal
Subscriptions are billed on a recurring basis (monthly or annually, depending on the plan selected) and will automatically renew at the end of each billing period unless cancelled. You authorise us to charge your chosen payment method at the start of each renewal period. It is your responsibility to ensure your payment details remain accurate and up to date.
3.4 Cancellation
You may cancel your Premium Plan at any time by contacting us at support@hypernotepad.com. Cancellation will take effect at the end of the current billing period. You will retain access to Premium features until that date.
3.5 Refunds
We do not offer refunds for partial billing periods. If you believe you have been charged in error, please contact us within 14 days of the charge and we will investigate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this clause affects your statutory rights under applicable UK consumer law, including any rights you may have to a cooling-off period under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013.
3.6 Price Changes
We reserve the right to change our subscription pricing at any time. We will provide at least 30 days' written notice of any price increase before it takes effect, giving you the opportunity to cancel before the new price applies.
4. Payments and Third-Party Processing
Premium Plan subscriptions are processed through Polar, our third-party payment provider. By subscribing to a Premium Plan, you will be directed to Polar's platform to complete your purchase. Payment processing, billing, and subscription management are subject to Polar's own terms of service and privacy policy, which you should review before completing a purchase.
We are not responsible for any errors, failures, or issues arising from Polar's payment processing services. Any billing disputes relating to charges should be raised with us in the first instance at support@hypernotepad.com, and we will liaise with Polar on your behalf where necessary.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable UK law.
14. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Hyper Notepad, its operators, employees, and agents from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the Service, your Content, or your breach of these Terms.

16. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales. We are based in the United Kingdom and operate this Service from the UK.
If you are a consumer resident in another country, you may also benefit from any mandatory protections afforded to you by the laws of your country of residence. Nothing in these Terms is intended to limit or exclude any rights you have under such mandatory provisions, and this governing law clause does not affect those rights.
Subject to the above, any disputes arising out of or in connection with these Terms shall be subject to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
17. International Users
The Service is operated from the United Kingdom and is intended for a worldwide audience. If you are accessing the Service from outside the UK, you do so on your own initiative and are responsible for compliance with your local laws to the extent they apply.
European Union and EEA Users
If you are a consumer resident in the EU or EEA, you have rights under EU consumer protection law that apply regardless of the governing law of these Terms. These include, but are not limited to, rights under the EU Consumer Rights Directive and protections against unfair contract terms. Nothing in these Terms is intended to waive or limit those rights.
Regarding your right of withdrawal: where you subscribe to a Premium Plan and request immediate access to the Service, you acknowledge and agree that performance of the digital service begins immediately upon purchase. By confirming your subscription, you expressly consent to the immediate commencement of the service and acknowledge that you thereby waive your 14-day right of withdrawal under the Consumer Rights Directive. This waiver is separately acknowledged at the point of purchase on our payment platform.
For further information on how we handle your personal data, including cross-border data transfers, please see our Privacy Policy.
California Users
If you are a resident of California, USA, your subscription will automatically renew as described in these Terms unless cancelled before the renewal date. You may cancel at any time by contacting us at support@hypernotepad.com. This disclosure is made in accordance with California's Automatic Renewal Law (Business and Professions Code § 17600 et seq.).
Other Jurisdictions
Users in other jurisdictions may have additional rights under their applicable local consumer protection laws. We respect those rights and nothing in these Terms is intended to override mandatory protections you are entitled to by law.
