Terms of Service

By registering for membership with Kdan Mobile Software Ltd. (“Kdan”) or using Kdan products and Kdan services and features (collectively “Kdan Services”), you (“User”) are agreeing that these Terms of Service will apply and that you are bound by them (“Agreement”).

Membership registration is free of charge. User may apply for new accounts via valid emails or through social media accounts including Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google, WeChat, QQ, Apple, and Microsoft, or through other platforms or methods approved by Kdan at the time of application for membership registration. In the event that the email or social media accounts used by User for membership registration is/are found to be invalid, User agrees that Kdan shall have the right at its sole discretion to suspend such User’s Kdan account and/or delete or remove any and all files stored under such account without any liability. If User encounters subscription or payment refund problems that result from using invalid email or social media accounts, further processing will take place only if User has resubmitted and verified a valid email or social media account with confirmation that such resubmitted account belongs to the User who has submitted the complaint. User is deemed to have agreed to receive any emails or newsletters that will be sent by Kdan upon making an application for Kdan membership registration. User will be charged only for and when subscribing to and purchasing Kdan Services.
User must meet the age restrictions of the country/region in which he or she is located in order to use Kdan Services. If User in his or her country/region is a minor or a person of no capacity or limited capacity to perform juridical acts, User must obtain permission from his or her parent or legal guardian in order to use Kdan Services and accept this Agreement. If User is a person of no capacity to perform juridical acts, User’s legal guardian must apply for membership registration or pay for purchases on behalf of User in order to use Kdan Services and accept this Agreement.

User must access or download Kdan Services through legal means authorized by Kdan. Certain Kdan products can be used without membership registration while other Kdan Services require membership registration before using the services included in the product.

If a Kdan product purchased by User is packaged with a cloud storage service, User will enjoy free cloud storage space (hereinafter referred to as “Cloud Storage Space,” but which differs from the “KDAN CLOUD” service). Certain Kdan products, however, do not include the Cloud Storage Space.

If User wishes to use the KDAN CLOUD service, User must register as a Kdan member and log in to the account before using the service. User will be offered extra KDAN CLOUD space for free with a certain amount of storage capacity after completing the membership registration process (capacity of the free storage space is subject to relevant Kdan announcements or terms of service).

The KDAN CLOUD membership account is the same as the account for other Kdan Services. Any of the Kdan Services that supports KDAN CLOUD is compatible with and can be linked to KDAN CLOUD. However, not all products or services offered by Kdan are compatible with or can be linked to each other. Kdan is committed to continually providing products and services to User to optimize the user experience.

Kdan provides the following subscription models for a specified period to be determined by Kdan for accessing and using Kdan Services.

If User subscribes to Kdan Services via an in-app purchase, he or she shall follow the procedures set forth in the platform where User originally subscribed to the Services to view subscription history or cancel automatic renewal. For instance, if User subscribed to Kdan Services via Apple’s in-app purchase, he or she shall follow Apple’s procedures for subscription management or refund as set forth at https://support.apple.com/en-ap/HT202039; or if User subscribed to Kdan Services via Microsoft Store or Google Play Store in-app purchase, he or she shall follow Microsoft or Android’s procedures as set forth at https://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msusa/en_US/DisplayHelpSubscriptionAutoRenewalPolicyPage or https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/2476088 respectively.

If however User subscribed to Kdan Services on the Kdan Creative Store website, User can view his or her subscription history or cancel his or her automatic renewal on the Order History webpage at https://creativestore.kdanmobile.com/my-account. For special circumstances where refund is required, please contact us at https://www.kdanmobile.com/contact Our customer service staff will respond and provide further processing.

For Users who subscribed to Kdan Services on the Kdan Creative Store website, Kdan’s refund policy is as follows (if you subscribe through the Apple App Store, Google Play Store or Microsoft Store platforms, please follow the refund standards and procedures of the platform.):

(1) User will receive 100% refund if he or she cancels his or her subscription and request a refund within 14 days of subscription. Kdan may however charge processing costs of no more than 5% of the subscription payment.

(2) User will receive up to a 70% refund if he or she cancels his or her subscription and request a refund within 15-30 days of subscription. Kdan may however charge processing costs of no more than 5% of the subscription payment.

(3) After 30 days of subscription to Kdan Services, User is deemed to have accepted and used Kdan Services, and thus is not entitled to any refund if he or she cancels the subscription and request a refund.

In the event that User cancels his or her subscription to Kdan Services before the subscription period expires, User can still access and use Kdan Services until the expiration date. However, when User receives any refund from Kdan, the Kdan Services provided to User will be terminated automatically and simultaneously.

User shall be solely responsible for the backup of files in the event of a refund or subscription cancellation. Kdan shall in no event be held responsible or liable for any loss or recovery of or damage to the files.

The Cloud Storage Space included in a Kdan product or the KDAN CLOUD service provides only online storage space for files uploaded by User. Kdan shall in no event be held responsible or liable for any loss, damage, or unauthorized use of files attributable to User or perpetrated by any third party. Under the terms of this Agreement, Kdan does not represent or warrant that any content User may store or access through Kdan Services or KDAN CLOUD will not be accidentally corrupted, damaged, lost or removed, and in no event shall Kdan be liable for any such corruption, damage, loss or removal of User’s files.

User shall be solely and fully responsible for: the safekeeping of his or her account information (including the password), backup of any and all files at all times throughout the subscription period; disabling of the auto-renewal setting in the event of a subscription cancellation; declining a subscription renewal; requests for refunds; or any discontinuation of the Services.

To backup files, User shall retrieve and download the files from Kdan Services or Kdan Cloud to User’s own devices or other storage space.

Except as otherwise provided in this Terms of Service, Kdan’s subscription model is automatic renewal. Once the subscription period expires, if User has not canceled the subscription according to section 5, he/she shall be deemed to have agreed to continue the paid subscription.

Upon the expiration of subscription and User’s cancelation of subscription according to section 5, other files uploaded or stored by using Kdan Services may be deleted or removed by Kdan at its sole discretion except for the files uploaded to KDAN CLOUD.

Upon the expiration of subscription of KDAN CLOUD and User’s cancellation of subscription according to section 5, the files uploaded by User to KDAN CLOUD will remain in storage for 30 calendar days for file download and backup by User (“First Grace Period”); User will not be able to retrieve, modify, edit or upload again any files to KDAN CLOUD starting from the First Grace Period. Upon the expiration of the First Grace Period, the files will continue to remain in storage for another 30 calendar days (“Second Grace Period”) for User’s subscription renewal and retrieval of files within such thirty-day period. During the Second Grace Period, User will not be able to upload, download or edit the files maintained on KDAN CLOUD, or use any service until the subscription is renewed. Upon the expiration of the Second Grace Period, if no renewal of subscription is done, Kdan may delete or remove any and all files from KDAN CLOUD at its sole discretion.

Moreover, after the expiration of subscription and User’s cancelation of subscription according to section 5, User may continue to use the extra free storage space with a certain amount of capacity on KDAN CLOUD obtained on the ground of having completed the entire procedure of membership registration. However, if the file uploaded or stored by User exceeds the limit of said free storage space, or User ceases to use the storage space for a long period of time and fails to come back after being notified by Kdan in a reasonable manner, Kdan may delete or remove any and all files from KDAN CLOUD at its sole discretion.

“Abusive conduct” shall include without limitation:
(1) Regarding DottedSign
By means of the “Bulk Send” function in the service, sending a large volume of signing requests to potential users without their consent (regardless of whether they have actually agreed to the use of email or not) to the extent that Kdan receives complaints from numerous users, thereby affecting Kdan’s ordinary operations and diminishing Kdan’s reputation.

(2) Regarding KDAN CLOUD
