Our mobile services are currently offered for free. We are not responsible for your mobile phone carrier’s normal rates and fees, such as text messaging fees. Your carrier’s fees will still apply. If you change, lose or deactivate your mobile telephone number, we ask that you update your personal information, specifically your telephone number, on FoodInSpace within 96 hours to ensure that messages from FoodInSpace are not sent to the person who acquires your old number. You agree to provide all rights necessary to enable users to sync (including through an application) their contact lists with any basic information and contact information that is visible to them on FoodInSpace, as well as your name, company and profile picture.

11. Payment of fees

In association with or through the services that FoodInSpace provides, you may be able to purchase certain services, such as entering a project (or multiple projects) or a product (or multiple products) for the FoodInSpace Awards. If you make such a purchase, you agree to pay the then-current applicable fee listed on FoodInSpace and agreed to at checkout. We may change the pricing from time to time in our sole discretion by updating the listed price at FoodInSpace and without any additional notice to you. We may invoice you for the applicable fees or ask a third party (“Payment Provider”) to process payments on our behalf. When you choose to pay by debit or credit card, you must provide our Payment Provider with a valid debit or credit card (Visa, MasterCard or any other issuer that is accepted by our Payment Provider) as a condition to such transactions. When you choose to pay via bank transfer the transaction will only be regarded as completed when our Payment Provider has received your payment. The Payment Provider’s policies govern the processing of your payment, and you must refer to those policies and not this Agreement to determine your rights and liabilities. By providing your credit card number or debit card number and associated payment information through FoodInSpace, you authorize us through our Payment Provider to invoice you within 72 hours for all fees and charges due and payable to us hereunder, and you agree that no additional notice or consent is required. We reserve the right at any time to change our payment terms, either immediately upon posting on the Services, by email delivery to you or any other reasonable method of communication.

The moment we have received your payment, the services you had ordered will (almost) become available within 72 hours to you. If you for instance ordered the entrance of a project (or multiple projects) or a product (or multiple products) for the FoodInSpace Awards, after we have received your payment the project(s) or product(s) that you have paid for will have been entered into the FoodInSpace Awards within 72 hours.

In the event that, for any reason, FoodInSpace determines that the services you have ordered and paid for are not suitable for FoodInSpace or contrary to our Terms of Use, we shall refuse to provide the requested services: refunds are solely at our discretion.

If you for instance ordered the entrance of a project (or multiple projects) or a product (or multiple products) for the FoodInSpace Awards after the closing date, or with something contrary our Terms of Use, we shall reserve the right to refuse the entrance.
