If a Purchase is made during an Active Subscription, the timestamp for the previous Purchase will remain as the Subscription Effective Date. If a Purchase is made during an Active Subscription but forced to replace the active Subscription, the timestamp of the request of replacement shall replace the existing Subscription Effective Date. If the Purchase is made during an Inactive Subscription, the timestamp for the latest Purchase shall replace all prior timestamps as the Subscription Effective Date. For illustration:

“Subscription Expiry Date” means the exact anniversary of the Subscription Effective Date ending the Subscription Period. For illustration:
If the Subscription Period is for 12 months and the Subscription Effective Date is 3 Mar 2020, then the Subscription Expiry Date is 3 Mar 2018, i.e. Active Subscription ends at 2 Apr 2021 23:59:59.
For months with fewer than 29 days, if the Subscription Expiry Date would fall between the 29th or the 31st of that month (inclusive of both), the Subscription Expiry Date will be postponed to 1st of the following month. For example, if the Subscription Period is for 1 month and the Subscription Effective Date is 29 January 2020, then the Subscription Expiry Date would be 1 March 2020.
“Subscription Period” means the period from the Subscription Effective Date to the Subscription Expiry Date, during which there is an Active Subscription.
“Users” are the Customer’s personnel or those of its affiliated organizations, as the case may be, whose Administrator has registered in their qamaas account and assigned login details, enabling that User to use some or all of its features provided they are Active Users. For clarity the Customer’s Administrator is a User.
“User-Based Subscription” means a Subscription that allows usage by the Customer up to the Active User Limit during the Subscription Period. User-Based Subscriptions must be Purchased before Active Users may be designated to use the qamaas Platform. A Purchase can be made either monthly, or as block of twelve (12) months or any other blocks as may be set by the Provider.

4. USER SUBSCRIPTION BLOCK SYSTEM

4.1 The Customer’s Administrator may at any time create and subscribe for future Subscription Blocks by adding that future Subscription Block on the Provider’s Platform. For each future Subscription Block, there will be a corresponding Active User Limit and a corresponding future Subscription Block Subscription Expiry Date. The Subscription Effect Date and the start of the Subscription Period of each future Subscription Block will always be the on the Subscription Expiry Date of the previous Subscription Block without any interim period without an Active Subscription. The charges for a new block are shown in Scenario III – V of the table in Section 6.
(a) If the Customer desires to reduce its Normal User Limit, the Customer must enter into a new User-Based Subscription Block whereby the reduced Active User Limit will apply upon the commencement of the new Subscription Block.
(b) If the new Subscription Block has a lower Active User Limit than the Active Users in the current Subscription Block, the Customer’s Administrator will receive three (3) notifications, i.e., within thirty (30) days, fourteen (14) days and seven (7) days before the Subscription Expiry Date of the then-current Subscription Block to the effect that all Active Users (except the Customer’s Administrator) will be deactivated from the Platform unless:
(i) the Customer reduces the current number of Active Users or
(ii) The Customer increases the Active User limit for the future Subscription Block.
(c) If the Customer’s Administrator fails comply with paragraphs (b)(i) or (b)(ii), then all Active Users registered on the Platform will receive an e-mail and a system notification two (2) days before the start date of the next Subscription Block with the legend:
“Your account will be deactivated in forty-eight (48) hours. Please contact your administrator for any inquiries”
and all account(s) (except for the Customer’s Administrator’s) will deactivated at the end of the current block or start of the next block.
(d) To avoid doubt, Subclauses of 4.1 shall apply in the case of Organizers as well, and Organizers Limit shall be read mutatis mutandis for Active User Limit and Normal User Limit.
4.2 The new Active User Limit will take effect immediately during an Active User-Based Subscription Period. However, regardless when the Active User Limit was increased prior to the Subscription Expiry Date for that Subscription, the increase in Active Users will only be valid until the then-current Subscription Expiry Date for that Subscription Block.

5. AUTO RENEWAL

5.1 The Customer can elect to have the Subscription Period auto-renewed upon the Subscription Expiry Date. This option must be set at the time of the creation of a Subscription Block. The auto-renewal option does not allow for the creation of manually subscribed future Subscription Blocks.
5.2 If the auto-renewal option is selected, the system will automatically create a new Subscription Block of the same duration, user limit and pricing, seven (7) days before the expiry of the then-current Subscription Block.
5.3 In case of payment by transfer: the Customer will be charged accordingly with the next invoice for that auto renewal Subscription Block.
5.4 In case of payment by debit card or credit card: the customer’s account will be debited for that auto renewal subscription block. If the payment fails, due to any reason whatsoever, the system will notify the Customer and a further attempt to debit Customer’s account again after twenty-four (24) hours will be made. If the payment fails a second time, the new Subscription Block will not be created, and the auto-renewal will be cancelled.
5.5 If the Customer increases the Active User Limit for the then-current Subscription Block, the Customer’s auto-renewal will be cancelled. The Customer may only re-set the auto-renewal setting when the Customer creates the next Subscription Block, and the first auto-payment will start at the Subscription Expiry Date of that (subsequent) Subscription Block.
5.6 If, at any point during a Subscription Block, the Customer received a certain set of rates or otherwise enjoys a Promotional Code (for example, a twenty percent (20%) discount) (“Current Rates”), and if qamaas subsequently changes the pricing (for example to state that Customers are entitled to receive a ten percent (10%) discount instead) (“New Rates”), the auto-renewal setting will continue to bill the Customer at the Current Rates. If the Customer cancels its auto-renewal setting for whatever reason and enters into a new or future Subscription Block, the New Rates shall apply (as determined by qamaas).

6. ADJUSTMENTS OF SUBSCRIPTION PLANS

Adjustment of Subscription Period

6.1 When a Subscription Period has ended (i.e. the current date has passed the Subscription Expiry Date), the Normal User’s access to the Platform will become restricted as described in the table in Clause 7.4. The Organizer’s access to the Platform will also become similarly restricted as described in the table in Clause 7.4.
6.2 If a Subscription is renewed after the Subscription Expiry Date, then the Subscription Effective Date will be superseded and replaced by the new activation, commencing a new Subscription Period, and the access rights will be restored as shown in Scenario VI in TABELLE 4 of section 6.
6.3 The Customer will be reminded by a notification in the system and by an automatically generated electronic mail to the Customer’s Administrator as the Customer’s Subscription approaches the Subscription Expiry Date (“Expiry Notification”). The Expiry Notification will be issued 30 days and fourteen (14) days prior to the Subscription Expiry Date, with a final Expiry Notification sent on the Subscription Expiry Date.
6.4 Examples of the pricing under different scenarios are shown in the TABELLE 4.
 

Adjustment of User Limits

6.5 Other than the duration of the Subscription Period, the other parameter for a Subscription is the Normal User Limit allowance, which may be increased (but may not be decreased) during an Active Subscription, as shown in Scenario II in TABELLE 4 in section 6. The Customer’s Administrator can increase the Normal User Limit for a current Subscription Block or future Subscription Block, which will be effective from the current date to the Subscription Expiry Date of the current Subscription Block (or for the full duration of the future Subscription Block, as the case may be). Once a Subscription Block or a future Subscription Block is created on the Platform, the duration of that Subscription Block may not be changed and only the Active User Limit can be increased in accordance with this Clause.
