5.1 DISCONTINUING YOUR PAYMENTS

Stop paying and your account will turn into Narrative Free Plan.

If you have not paid the required subscription fee pursuant to section 1.3, your Paid Subscription will be turned into Narrative Free Plan. This means that your ability to upload and view content may be limited to the features available through Narrative Free Plan at each time. If your account contains more data than permitted through Narrative Free Plan, Narrative reserves the right to remove content that exceeds this limit. If we make use of this right, we will inform you via e-mail and will provide you with an opportunity to download content that is about to be deleted.

5.2 DELETING YOUR ACCOUNT

You can delete your account at any time and only pay for the rest of your billing period. Make sure to download your content before you make a request to Narrative’s support staff to delete your account.

You may end your account with Narrative at any time for any reason by deleting your account. To do so, you need to notify Narrative by contacting Customer Care. Narrative will delete the account as soon as it is administratively possible for us, usually within three weeks time. If you delete your account before the end of the billing period for your Subscription, we will be unable to offer you a refund for any unexpired period of your Subscription.

If you access the Narrative Properties via any of our Apps or via any third party app connected to your account, deleting that app will not delete your account. If you wish to delete your account, you will need to do so from the Account page within your Settings on the Websites or by contacting Customer Care.

Deleting your account means that Your Content will be IRREVOCABLY DELETED once Narrative has received the request for deletion and has performed the necessary actions to delete the account. The opportunity to download Your Stored Photos will cease at this point.

5.3 SUSPENSION OR TERMINATION OF YOUR ACCOUNT

If you are violating the law or Narrative’s term or if your use of Narrative means a great risk for us or someone else or if Narrative no longer can afford to provide you the service, your account may be deactivated or your access be limited. In all cases where your account is shut down but Narrative is still a commercially available service, we will store your content for three months under which time you can download your content.

We may suspend or terminate your account, to delete or limit Your access to all or part of Your Content or to cease providing you with all or part of the Services at any time for any reason, including, but not limited to, if we reasonably believe that

  1. you have violated these Terms, our Privacy Policy and/or applicable law,
  2. your conduct when using our services creates the risk of the death or serious bodily injury of any person, or the risk of fraud or abuse or damage to the property rights of Narrative, our affiliates, assignees, suppliers, business partners, users or any other person or entity,
  3. you create risk or possible legal exposure for us or our affiliates, assignees, suppliers or business partners in any country, or
  4. our provision of the Services to you is no longer commercially viable. We will make reasonable efforts to notify you by the email address associated with your account or the next time you attempt to access your account.

If your account is terminated, Narrative will continue to store Your Content until the end of the third (3rd) month after the month when you account was terminated, during which time you will have the opportunity to download Your Stored Photos. After this time, Narrative will delete Your Content, including all photographic material.

5.4 STORAGE OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA

You let Narrative process and store your data. Check the Privacy Policy for details.

You hereby authorise Narrative to process and store Your Personal Data in the way described in our Privacy Policy. Furthermore, You consent that your Personal Data may be processed in a country outside the European Union/European Economic Area and/or the United States.

Narrative may keep anonymised versions of your data after your account has been deactivated or terminated.

After the possibility to download Your Stored Photos has ceased and your account has been deactivated or terminated, Narrative reserves the right to keep anonymised data for purposes of statistics, trouble-shooting and/or to fulfil our obligations according to national and international law.

Nothing in this section shall affect Narrative’s rights to change, limit or stop the provision of the Narrative Properties without prior notice, as provided in Section 3.3 (”Modification of these Terms or the Contents of the Services”).

9.4 APPLICABLE LAW AND JURISDICTION

Narrative is a Swedish company and Swedish law governs these terms.

Except where otherwise required by the mandatory law of Sweden, any other member state of the European Union/European Economic Area or the United States,

  1. these Terms are subject to the laws of Sweden, excluding the law (1987:899) of international purchases (the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods; CISG) and excluding the principles of conflict of laws (international private law), and
  2. You hereby agree, and Narrative agrees, that disputes arising in connection with this agreement shall be resolved by arbitration, administered by the Arbitration institute of the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce (”the Institute”). The rules of Simplified Arbitration for the Arbitration institute of the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce shall apply, unless the Institute, based on the complexity of the case, the sum and other circumstances, decides at its own discretion, that the Rules for the Arbitration institute of the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce shall apply. In the latter case, the Institute shall also decide whether the arbitration committee shall consist of one or three members. The arbitration shall take place in Stockholm. The arbitration shall be held in English.
  3. If You are a consumer resident within the European Union/European Economic Area, disputes arising in connection with these Terms may be settled by public courts in Sweden or in your country of residence.

  4. You and Narrative waive all right to trial by jury, and the right to participate in a class action or multi-party law suit. Both You and Narrative acknowledge that each can bring claims against the other only in Your or our individual capacity, not as a class member or in any capacity or proceeding of a representative.
