    5. The User accepts the necessity of having a valid active and verified electronic mail address (e-mail) which is linked to the User’s account and constitutes a necessary form of identification of the User in relationship with the Service Provider and shall be used for all correspondence related to the provision of services.
    6. The User may not have more than one account assigned to one e-mail address.
    7. Changing the electronic mail address (e-mail) by the User results in the necessity of confirming the new e-mail address, which consists in the User receiving the verification e-mail with a link that needs to be clicked in order for the new e-mail address to be verified successfully.

    13. The User may – at any time and without giving any reasons – delete their account from the Becorrect website by selecting the “Delete account” option in the administration panel of the account or by sending a request to the Service Provider to delete the account via e-mail to the following address: mail@becorrect.com. Account deletion performed by the User does not entitle them to demand a refund of the payment for access to the Becorrect paid services.
    14. The registration process on the Becorrect website can be a process also including some other platforms of the Service Provider (e.g., eTutor – the learning platform, and Diki – the online dictionary). In such a case, the User’s account shall be an account shared by all the services indicated during the registration. The registration within the framework of one of the platforms shall enable logging on to other platforms whose terms of use are defined in separate rules and regulations relating to each of these platforms. While registering, the User shall be informed about the list of platforms which they shall be allowed to log in after having finished the registration process.

  5. Terms and Conditions of Use and Liability

    1. The User undertakes to use the Becorrect website in a manner consistent with the rules of use contained in the Terms and Conditions, legal provisions, good practice and social norms.
    2. The Service Provider undertakes to ensure the highest possible quality and stability of the Becorrect website; however, the Service Provider shall not be liable for interruptions and disruptions caused by factors beyond the Service Provider’s control.
    3.

The Individual User can at any time withdraw from the given consent – this, however, shall prevent them from using the paid services in the particular time period, which shall be communicated to the User through a system message. The free-of-charge period might be prolonged as a result of either a periodic or special offer.
    8. In the event of receiving from third-party partners (e.g., group-buying services, gift cards, cafeteria systems) an activation code giving access to Becorrect paid services, the Individual User can only use it on a new account, i.e., on an account which has not had any subscription purchased before.

    1. The Agreement for the provision of free-of-charge services shall be concluded for an indefinite term and shall be terminated upon the deletion of the User’s account in the manner specified in the Terms and Conditions.
    2. The Service Provider reserves the right to block or delete the account of the User who:
      1. does not comply with these Terms and Conditions,
      2. has not logged into the Becorrect website for more than 12 months,
      3. has submitted a request to delete the personal data provided in the registration form.
    3. The deletion of the User’s account from the Becorrect website in any case means deletion of all User’s activities as well as access to the Becorrect paid services. Another registration shall not restore the possibility of using the Becorrect paid services purchased prior to the deletion of the User’s account.
    4. The Agreement for service connected with access to the Becorrect paid services is made for a specified period in accordance with either the Individual User’s selected and purchased subscription period or the body of the cooperation agreement between the Service Provider and the Ordering Party.
    5. The Individual Users’ access to the Becorrect paid services is automatically extended by the following settlement period until the User decides to resign by way of cancelling the subscription, about which the User is informed during the subscription purchase process, subject to the fact that the Service Provider can, in accordance with the Terms and Conditions, deny access to a given User. If the Individual User does not cancel the subscription prior to its renewal date in a given settlement period, the subscription shall be valid for the following settlement period in accordance with the hitherto purchased subscription period, and the Service Provider is eligible to charge the User for the following subscription period via the Stripe platform.
    6. The Individual User may cancel the subscription at any time, whereas access to the Becorrect paid services shall be provided until the end of the settlement period. In order to cancel the subscription, one must log in to the Becorrect platform, choose “Pricing” or “My Account” from the menu and choose the “Payment history” tab, click on “Manage my subscriptions”, click on “Cancel plan”, and then follow further instructions. Cancelling the plan means subscription cancellation on the last day of the settlement period. The cancelled plan may be renewed by the Individual User through choosing the “Renew plan” option, which means that the subscription shall not be cancelled after the end of the paid period but rather shall be automatically extended and shall last until the moment defined in Section IX(5) above.
    7. The User, being either a consumer or an entrepreneur with consumer rights, may withdraw from the agreement without giving any reason by making a relevant written statement in the period of 14 days after making the agreement (a model withdrawal form containing all necessary information available here).

    8. In the case of withdrawal, the agreement shall be deemed unconcluded. The refund shall be given forthwith, no later than within 14 days. The refund shall be given using the same payment method as the one that was used for the original transaction unless the User establishes, in agreement with the Service Provider, a different refund payment method.
    9. The right to withdrawal does not apply if the Service Provider has started providing the Service with the explicit and prior consent of the User, who was informed prior to starting using the service that, after the Service Provider starts providing the service, they lose the right to withdraw from the agreement, and they acknowledge that.
    10. Clicking on the “Subscribe” button during the purchase process, thus making an Agreement for service by the User who is a consumer, denotes requiring from the Service Provider to start providing the service before the expiry of the withdrawal period and results in the resignation from the right to withdraw from such an Agreement.

  10. Final Provisions

If there are any significant amendments to the Terms and Conditions, the Service Provider shall notify the Users of them by sending a notification to the e-mail address associated with the account on the Becorrect website and/or in the form of a system message on the Becorrect website.
    2. Amendments to the Terms and Conditions which are not essential for the compliance of the Service with the Terms and Conditions may be made in legitimate use cases such as:

    4. If the User does not accept the introduced changes as stated above, they are obliged to withdraw from the agreement with immediate effect, not later than 30 days from the date of introducing the change or informing the User about it if the moment of informing about it happened later than the change itself.
    5. The Polish law shall be applicable to all legal relations arising from these Terms and Conditions.
