If we do, we will notify you by email to the address you provided us as part of your subscription to inform you of how long you have to use the services for free before the changes become effective.
Subscription Plan
If you sign up for a Subscription Plan, you are subscribing to an automatically renewing subscription requiring recurring payments at the stated frequency that you select on the Plans page (e.g., monthly or annually). This section describes Subscription Plans purchased directly with us. If you purchase a Subscription Plan through a third-party App store, the payment terms and conditions of the applicable App store will apply, as discussed in Online Purchases and Other Terms and Conditions below.
When you sign up for a Subscription Plan, you must provide accurate and complete information for a valid payment method, such as a payment card, that you are authorized to use. If you purchase or sign up for a Subscription Plan, you agree that:
You authorize us or our agent (like Stripe) to automatically charge your payment method on a recurring basis at the start of each subscription term for (i) the applicable Subscription Plan charges, (ii) any and all applicable taxes, and (iii) any other charges incurred in connection with your use of the Sites, unless: (a) you terminate your account, (b) you cancel before the applicable renewal date, calculated on Eastern time, (c) Company declines to renew your Subscription Plan, or (d) these Terms are otherwise properly terminated as expressly permitted herein.
Your purchase may be subject to foreign exchange fees or differences in prices based on location (e.g. exchange rates).
All of your Subscription Plan payments are subject to the Company’s refund policy, described below under “Refund Policy”.
We may calculate taxes payable by you based on the billing information that you provide us at the time of purchase, which taxes you agree to pay in full. Taxes shall not be deducted from the payments to Company, except as required by law, in which case you shall increase the amount payable as necessary so that after making all required deductions and withholdings, Company receives and retains (free from any tax liability) an amount equal to the amount it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made.
If any Subscription Plan fee is not paid in a timely manner, or we are unable to process your transaction using the payment method on file, and you do not promptly provide a new eligible payment method through the Knowbout Plan Subscription section of the Billing page in your account or bring your balance current within ten (10) days after we provide you with notification that your account is in arrears, we reserve the right to suspend, disable, cancel or terminate your access to the Site or services or cancel your Subscription Plan or convert it into a Knowbout Free account.
Promotional codes may only be used for your first subscription term. If you purchased your Subscription Plan with a promotional code, each time your Subscription Plan renews, you will be charged the full billing amount. If your Subscription Plan is ever terminated for any reason or you otherwise purchase another subscription, you will not be eligible to use a promotional code.
If your payment details change, your card provider may provide us with updated card details. We may use these new details in order to help prevent any interruption to the Subscription Plan and services. If you would prefer to opt out from this service, please contact us. If you would like to use a different payment method or if there is a change in payment method, please visit the knowbout Plan Subscription section of the Billing page in your account to update your billing information.
Your Subscription Plan includes one or more additional features as compared to the QRcode Free service, which may include an increase in the number QRcodes, customization and management options, or advanced analytics, among other features.

A list of the current features included in your Subscription Plan may be found here: We do not represent or warrant that particular benefits or features will be offered indefinitely and reserve the right to change the prices for or alter the features and benefits associated with a Subscription Plan.
If the pricing for your Subscription Plan increases, we will notify you, and provide you an opportunity to modify your subscription before applying those changes to your account or charging your payment method in connection with an automatic renewal. The notification will inform you of how long you have to change your subscription before the changes become effective. Your continued use of the Site and services after the changes have been made will constitute your acceptance of the changes. If you do not wish to continue subscribing with the new fees or features, you may cancel your subscription. If you accept the new subscription, its terms and conditions will apply for that renewal and all renewals going forward unless changed in accordance with these Terms of Use.
Refund Policy

Dispute Resolution, Governing Laws and Agreement to Arbitrate on an Individual Basis
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY – IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.
By agreeing to these Terms of Use, you and genieprints agree that any and all past, present and future disputes, claims or causes of action between you and genieprints arising out of or relating to these Terms of Use, the Sites, the formation of these Terms of Use or any other dispute between you and genieprints or any of our licensors, distributors, suppliers or agents (including but not limited to any application store or platform from which the Sites are accessed or downloaded), and whether arising prior to or after your agreement to this Section, (collectively, “Dispute(s)”) will be governed by the procedure outlined below. For avoidance of doubt, this includes claims that have already accrued, i.e., claims you may have based on events that already have occurred. You and genieprints further agree that any arbitration pursuant to this Section shall not proceed as a class, group or representative action.
Initial Dispute Resolution
Genieprints wants to address your concerns without needing a formal legal case. Before filing a claim against genieprints, you agree to try to resolve the Dispute informally by contacting [email protected] . Similarly, genieprints will undertake reasonable efforts to contact you (if we have contact information for you) to resolve any claim we may possess informally before taking any formal action. If a Dispute is not resolved within 30 days after the email noting the Dispute is sent, you or genieprints may initiate an arbitration proceeding as described below. Please note that your failure to engage in this process could result in the award of fees against you in arbitration.
Binding Arbitration
If the parties do not reach an agreed upon solution within a period of 30 days from the time informal dispute resolution begins under the Initial Dispute Resolution provision, then either party may initiate binding arbitration as the sole means to resolve claims, subject to the terms set forth below.
All claims arising out of or relating to these Terms (including their formation, performance and breach), the parties’ relationship with each other and/or your use of the Service shall be finally settled by binding arbitration administered by JAMS in accordance with the provisions of its Streamlined Arbitration and Procedures, excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class or representative actions.
Except as set forth in the “Exception - Litigation of Intellectual Property and Small Claims Court Claims” subsection below, the arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of these Terms of Use, including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part of these Terms of Use are void or voidable, whether a claim is subject to arbitration, and any dispute regarding the payment of JAMS administrative or arbitrator fees (including the timing of such payments and remedies for nonpayment). The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The parties agree that the arbitrator may allow the filing of dispositive motions if they are likely to efficiently resolve or narrow issues in dispute. The arbitrator’s award shall be written, and binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. No arbitration award or decision will have any preclusive effect as to issues or claims in any dispute with anyone who is not a named party to the arbitration.
The parties understand that, absent this mandatory provision, they would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. They further understand that, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court.
Exception - Litigation of Intellectual Property and Small Claims Court Claims
Notwithstanding the parties' decision to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either party may bring an action in state or federal court to protect its intellectual property rights (“intellectual property rights” means patents, copyrights, moral rights, trademarks, and trade secrets, but not privacy or publicity rights). Further, notwithstanding any other provision herein, including provisions applicable to arbitration of disputes, either party may also elect to have disputes or claims resolved in a small claims court that are within the scope of that court’s jurisdiction. Either party may also seek a declaratory judgment or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction regarding whether a party’s claims are time-barred or may be brought in small claims court in your state and county of residence. Seeking such relief shall not waive a party’s right to arbitration under this agreement.
For any dispute not subject to arbitration (and excluding any action brought in small claims court), or any action to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration or confirm, modify, vacate or enter judgment on the arbitrator’s aware, you and genie agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of and venue in the federal and state courts located in the State of New York.
You further agree to accept service of process by mail, and hereby waive any and all jurisdictional and venue defenses otherwise available.
30-Day Right to Opt Out
Waiver and Severability
No waiver by the Company of any term or condition set out in these Terms of Use shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure of the Company to assert a right or provision under these Terms of Use shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
If any provision of these Terms of Use is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent such that the remaining provisions of the Terms of Use will continue in full force and effect.
