Terms & Conditions for Connect
reMarkable develops and sells paper tablets for reading, writing, and sketching. The paper tablet may be connected to a cloud service (“reMarkable Connect”) which enables additional features such as conversion of handwritten notes to text, automatic and secure back up as well as synchronization of content between different devices such as the reMarkable paper tablet, computers, and mobile phones. reMarkable Connect and the subscription features are described in further detail on reMarkable’s website, www.remarkable.com.
In order to use reMarkable Connect, you must enter into a subscription agreement that gives you access to the cloud service (the “Connect Agreement”). By signing up for a user account at my.remarkable.com, you acknowledge that you have read and understood the Connect Agreement. The Connect Agreement constitutes a binding agreement when you have accepted the terms and conditions through the sign-up process, subject to confirmation by reMarkable as mentioned in clause 1 below.
Please note that purchase of reMarkable hardware and accessories are subject to separate terms and conditions.
1. Account registration and password
In order to access or use certain features of reMarkable Connect, you must register for a user account. You must be at least the age of legal majority where you reside (e.g. 18 years old) to register an account. All registrations are subject to acceptance by reMarkable at its discretion.
You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during the registration process and at all times when you use reMarkable Connect and to update such information if it changes. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account if any information provided during the registration process or at other times proves to be inaccurate, not current, or incomplete.
Upon registration for an account with us, you will be asked to create a username and password at my.remarkable.com. You must always keep your username and password confidential and use it only to access and use your account, and not for any other purpose. You are the only authorized user of your account and, accordingly, you must not disclose your username and/or password to anyone else. You should contact us immediately upon discovering any unauthorized use of your account or error in the operation of your username and/or password (see contact information below). Any breach of this Connect Agreement or any use of your account by anyone to whom you disclose your username and/or password will be treated as if the breach or use had been carried out by you, and will not relieve you of your obligations to us.
2. Subscription options
A basic subscription is provided free of charge upon registration of a user account at my.remarkable.com. Additional features require a premium subscription that is subject to a rolling subscription fee (in addition to the price paid for hardware such as reMarkable paper tablets).
reMarkable reserves the right to change the subscription fees or applicable charges and to institute new charges and fees, upon thirty (30) days prior notice (which may be sent by email). Your continued use of reMarkable Connect after the end of the notice period of the aforementioned changes to fees or charges constitute your consent to such fees or charges.
WHEN YOU REGISTER FOR A PAID PREMIUM SUBSCRIPTION, YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT (A) REMARKABLE (OR OUR THIRD PARTY PAYMENT PROCESSOR) IS AUTHORIZED TO CHARGE YOU AT THE BEGINNING OF EVERY MONTH OR OTHER PERIODIC BASIS (AS SELECTED BY YOU VIA THE REMARKABLE WEBSITE) FOR YOUR SUBSCRIPTION (IN ADDITION TO ANY APPLICABLE TAXES AND OTHER CHARGES) FOR AS LONG AS YOUR SUBSCRIPTION CONTINUES, AND (B) YOUR SUBSCRIPTION IS CONTINUOUS UNTIL YOU CANCEL IT OR REMARKABLE SUSPENDS OR STOPS PROVIDING ACCESS TO REMARKABLE CONNECT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT.
Premium subscriptions are subject to availability and reMarkable reserves the right to impose any limits or reject part or all of an order or discontinue offering certain subscriptions or services without prior notice, even if you have already placed an order.
3. Subscription license and subscription period
You are granted a limited, revocable, non-exclusive and non-transferable right to use the subscription features and services in accordance with your current subscription plan and the Connect Agreement during the subscription period.
The subscription period starts running from the moment you create a user account and/or confirm your order of premium plans at my.remarkable.com or www.remarkable.com.
4. Payment and automatic renewal for premium subscriptions
The subscription fee
The subscription fee and any other applicable charges including taxes, transaction fees or other charges will be charged to your payment method on the billing date indicated on the website, the receipt and/or in your account settings. For the avoidance of doubt, reMarkable is not responsible for any fees that your bank or payment provider may charge you for the use of your credit card or payment method.
Automatic renewal
Your subscription will continue and automatically renew for the applicable subscription term you selected when signing up for or modifying your account (e.g. monthly or, if applicable, some other term) unless cancelled in accordance with section 5. You agree that we may process your payment on or near the calendar day corresponding to the start of your billing cycle as applicable.
Authorization of payments
By providing a payment method that reMarkable accepts, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to use the designated payment method and that you permit reMarkable (or our third party payment processor) to charge your payment method for the total amount of applicable subscription fees or other purchase (including any applicable taxes and other charges). You must resolve any problem reMarkable encounters to proceed with your order. In the event you want to change or update payment information associated with your account, you can do so by logging into your account profile and editing the payment information.
You will be responsible for paying all past due amounts even if your account is suspended, disabled, canceled, or terminated for nonpayment or for otherwise violating the Connect Agreement or other applicable laws. 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 your subscription to reMarkable Connect, and we will advise you by email if we use a new payment method. If you want to use a different payment method or if there is a change in payment method, please visit your user account on my.remarkable.com to update.
If the payment method cannot be verified, is invalid, or is otherwise not acceptable, your order or subscription may be suspended or canceled.
You acknowledge that the amount billed may vary due to promotional offers, changes to your subscription plan, or changes in applicable taxes or other charges, and you authorize reMarkable (or our third party payment processor) to charge your payment method for the corresponding amount.
Taxes/VAT
You are responsible for any sales, duty, or other governmental taxes or fees due with respect to your purchase of a subscription or other products or services. reMarkable will collect applicable sales tax if it determines that reMarkable has a duty to collect sales tax. reMarkable will present any taxes that it is required to collect at checkout but note that actual taxes charged may be adjusted from the amount shown at checkout. Several factors may cause this, such as variances between processor programs and changes in tax rates.
Promotional offers
From time to time reMarkable may offer free or reduced rate promotional trials of certain paid premium subscriptions for specified periods of time without payment or for a reduced promotional price. If reMarkable offers you a free or promotional trial, the specific terms of the free or promotional trial will be provided in the marketing materials describing the particular trial, during the online registration process when the code for the trial is entered on the reMarkable operated websites.
ONCE THE FREE OR PROMOTIONAL TRIAL ENDS, YOU AUTHORIZE REMARKABLE (OR OUR THIRD PARTY PAYMENT PROCESSOR) TO BEGIN CHARGING YOUR DESIGNATED PAYMENT METHOD ON A RECURRING BASIS FOR YOUR SUBSCRIPTION (PLUS ANY APPLICABLE TAXES AND OTHER CHARGES) FOR AS LONG AS THE SUBSCRIPTION CONTINUES, UNLESS YOU CANCEL THE SUBSCRIPTION PRIOR TO THE END OF THE FREE OR PROMOTIONAL TRIAL OR OTHERWISE CANCEL THE SUBSCRIPTION IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 5.
5. Cancellation of the subscription and duties upon cancellation
You may cancel your subscription to reMarkable Connect at any time and without cause by logging into your user account and following the instruction to cancel at my.remarkable.com or by contacting reMarkable through this Contact Form.
For paid subscriptions, cancellation of your subscription will take effect at the end of your current billing period. You will be responsible for all charges (including applicable taxes and other charges) incurred with respect to fees processed prior to the cancellation of your paid rolling subscription. If you purchase a subscription through a third party, such as Apple’s AppStore or Google Play, you must use the tools made available by those services to manage and/or cancel your subscription.
We offer no refunds of subscription fees unless required by applicable law.
Upon termination of your subscription and/or user account, whether by reMarkable or by you, you will lose access to subscription features, hereunder cloud storage, Integrations, and additional warranties (if applicable pursuant to the terms and conditions governing purchase of reMarkable hardware and accessories). You must ensure to download all data that you wish to retain from the reMarkable Connect before the subscription period expires. reMarkable provides a standard file format for such data export through reMarkable Connect.
