(Registration No. 28296800, Hlinky 995/70, Staré Brno, 603 00 Brno, Czech Republic), or another designated privacy partner. The relevant terms of the privacy service apply in addition to these TOS.
5. Contract & Contract Revocation

Payment is confirmed when a valid invoice is available in the "My Invoices" section of your account Administration.
5.2. Contract Revocation. You may revoke a contract even after the expiry of the cooling-off period, provided you do not seek a refund. All cancellation or amendment requests must be submitted in writing (by email) from the email address associated with your account.
5.3. Duration of the Contract. Contracts for Premium plans are concluded for the subscription period selected at checkout, which may be monthly, annual, or multi-year (up to 10 years).

Payment information may be stored securely to facilitate future purchases and automatic renewals. All payment processing is PCI-DSS compliant.
6.3. Automatic Renewal. Where you have selected automatic renewal, your subscription will renew automatically at the end of each billing period (monthly or annually). For annual plans, the renewal charge is applied before the expiry date. You will be notified of the upcoming renewal and charge in advance, within the period required by applicable law. You may cancel automatic renewal at any time through the Administration section of your project. Until cancelled, you authorise Webnode or the relevant payment provider to charge your payment method for each renewal.
6.4. Payment and Activation Date. The payment date is the date on which your payment provider confirms receipt of the full amount. For credit card and PayPal payments, the charge is applied immediately and the activation date is the same as the payment date, unless manual processing is required, in which case activation may be delayed by up to several business days.
6.5. Right of Withdrawal (Consumers). If you are a Consumer, you have the right to withdraw from the contract within 15 days of the activation date without giving any reason, except as provided in Section 6.6 below.
6.6. Exception - Fully Performed Services. Your right of withdrawal under Section 6.5 does not apply where: (a) we have fully performed the Premium service before the end of the 15-day period; AND (b) you gave us express consent to begin performance before the end of the 15-day period; AND (c) you acknowledged that you would lose your right of withdrawal once we had fully performed the service. By proceeding with the purchase of any Premium service at checkout, you provide the consent and acknowledgment required by this Section 6.6.
6.7. Exception - Domain Registrations. Your right of withdrawal under Section 6.5 does not apply to domain name registrations once the domain has been successfully registered with the registry, provided you gave express consent to begin registration before the end of the 15-day period. By proceeding with domain registration at checkout, you provide this consent.
6.8. Automatic Renewals. Automatic renewals of Premium services and domain names are not subject to a right of withdrawal, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
6.9. Refund for Performance Failure. If you are a Consumer and we fail to perform the Premium service after you have paid for it, you may request a full refund regardless of whether the cooling-off period has expired. Examples of performance failure include: (a) complete non-activation of the Premium service within three business days of payment (excluding cases of fraud prevention or legal holds); (b) technical failure making the Premium service unusable for three or more days within the first 30 days of activation; (c) unauthorized charges or duplicate charges. This Section 6.9 is in addition to your rights under Section 6.5 (right of withdrawal) and Section 11 (defective performance).
6.10. Free Domain Deduction. If you receive a free domain as part of a Premium package and request a refund after the domain has been registered, the refund amount will be reduced by the standalone value of the domain.
6.11. Refund Submission. Refund requests must be submitted by email to our Customer Care team within the applicable withdrawal period. A model withdrawal form is available on our website.
6.12. Refund Processing Timeline. Refunds to Consumers will be processed within 14 days of Webnode receiving a valid withdrawal request, using the same payment method as the original transaction unless otherwise agreed. Refunds to Entrepreneurs will be processed within 30 days via bank transfer or the original payment method where feasible. Discount vouchers and promotional codes are non-refundable under any circumstances.

20. Feedback
20.1. We welcome your comments and suggestions regarding our services and these Terms. Please contact our Customer Care team or email webnode@webnode.com.
21. Changes to Our Website
21.1. Webnode reserves the right to change, remove, or discontinue any portion of the webnode.com website or its content at any time. Where Webnode discontinues a service feature or materially removes functionality from a service feature that forms part of a Premium subscription, Webnode will provide at least 30 days' prior written notice to affected users by email to their registered email address. This notice requirement does not apply to: (a) changes required by law or to address an urgent security threat; (b) changes to free services or features; (c) temporary service interruptions for maintenance; or (d) updates or improvements that do not materially reduce functionality. For the avoidance of doubt, this provision relates to changes to services and features, not to updates to these Terms, which are governed by Section 30.
22. Complaint Handling
22.1. All complaints are handled by Webnode's Customer Care team. Complaints may be submitted by email to webnode@webnode.com or by post to: Webnode s.r.o., Hlinky 70, 603 00 Brno, Czech Republic.

Webnode will resolve your complaint within 30 days of receipt. If resolution requires longer than 30 days (for example, due to technical investigation or third-party consultation), Webnode will inform you before the 30-day deadline expires and provide a revised timeline with explanation. If you are dissatisfied with Webnode's resolution of your complaint, you may lodge a complaint with the Czech Trade Inspection Authority (Česká obchodní inspekce, ČOI), Prague office: Štěpánská 15, 120 00 Prague 2, Czech Republic, www.coi.cz, email: podatelna@coi.cz, or use the EU Online Dispute Resolution platform at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr.

23. Pricing Adjustments
23.1. We reserve the right to adjust our prices with 30 (thirty) days' prior written notification. Price adjustments may be based on: (a) changes in the Swiss Consumer Price Index (CPI) as published by the Swiss Federal Statistical Office, applied on an annual basis, up to a maximum of 10% in any single year; (b) documented increases in supplier costs (including hosting infrastructure, domain registry fees, payment processing fees, or essential third-party services) exceeding 20% over a 12-month period; or (c) changes in applicable law or regulation that materially increase Webnode's cost of providing the services (including new taxes, levies, or regulatory compliance costs). If you do not agree with a price adjustment under subsection (c), you may cancel your subscription by notifying Customer Care before the adjusted price takes effect. Price adjustments under subsections (a) or (b) do not trigger a cancellation right. Cancellation will be effective at the end of your current billing period, and you will not be charged the adjusted price for any period after cancellation. The applicable price at the time of renewal will be communicated to you in the renewal notification under Section 6.3. This Section 23.1 applies to monthly and annual subscriptions that renew automatically. For multi-year subscriptions (three years or longer) where the full subscription price was paid in advance at the time of purchase, the subscription is provided at the price agreed at the time of purchase for the entire prepaid term. This Section 23.1 does not apply to such multi-year prepaid subscriptions.

This clause does not extend to the obligation to pay any amounts due and owing. If the event of force majeure prevails for a continuous period in excess of one (1) month after the date on which it began, the other party may give notice to the party suffering the event of force majeure terminating these Terms. The notice to terminate must specify the termination date, which must be not less than seven (7) clear days after the date on which the notice to terminate is given. Once a notice to terminate has been validly given, these Terms will terminate on the termination date set out in the notice.

25.2. Webnode operates under Swiss sanctions law (including measures administered by the State Secretariat for Economic Affairs, SECO) and EU sanctions law where applicable. Where Swiss and EU sanctions measures differ, Webnode will apply the more restrictive measure. Webnode may block or restrict access to services, including AI Features, from locations or to persons subject to applicable sanctions, without prior notice and without liability.
