By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.
1. Service Description
1.1 The Service enables you to monitor your fermentation process and manage measurement data using digital devices like EasyDens and SmartRef. You can access the Service via the mobile app or the web interface, with features including storing and visualizing data, recipe creation, and fermentation tracking.
1.2 Subscriptions are only available via the mobile app. Subscription activation is only available via the mobile app and cannot be performed on the web version of the Service.
2. Free Version and Subscriptions
2.1 Anton Paar offers both free and paid services. Subscription pricing is shown in the mobile app and may vary by region depending on your billing information at the time of purchase.
2.2 Free version. You can use the Service free of charge until certain feature limitations are reached. Once either limit is reached, you can:
- Remain within the free limits and continue using the free version, or
- Subscribe via the mobile app to unlock extended access and features.
2.3 Subscriptions and Billing. Subscriptions to the Service are available exclusively through the mobile apps. You can choose a monthly or annual plan, both of which automatically renew at the end of each billing cycle to ensure uninterrupted access. When you subscribe, billing begins immediately, and charges will continue on each renewal date based on your selected plan. Applicable taxes may be added depending on your location. You may cancel at any time via the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. No refunds or credits will be issued for amounts already billed, unless required by law. If your payment fails or your subscription is canceled, your account will revert to the free version of the Service. If we change pricing, we will give you advance notice, and the new rates will take effect in your next billing cycle. It is your responsibility to cancel before the renewal date if you do not wish your subscription to continue.
3. Trials
3.1 We may occasionally offer a free trial for new users. If you cancel before the trial ends, any remaining trial period will be forfeited. If you do not cancel, the paid subscription will automatically begin at the end of the trial at the then-current rate.
4. Right of Withdrawal and Express Waiver
4.1 If you are a consumer residing in the European Union or the United Kingdom, you have a legal right to withdraw from your subscription purchase within 14 days without giving any reason, in accordance with applicable consumer protection law.
4.2 By subscribing to the Service, you expressly agree that access to the Service will begin immediately upon confirmation of your purchase, and you acknowledge that you will lose your statutory right of withdrawal once the Service has started in full. This waiver is made in accordance with Article 16(m) of the EU Consumer Rights Directive.
4.3 If you do not wish to waive this right, please do not start using the Service until the withdrawal period has expired.
5. User Account
5.1 You may use the Service with or without a registered user account. A registered account provides access to both the mobile and web platforms.
