  • In order to be able to use EXP-Editions’s services, a registration with EXP-Editions is required. Individuals over the age of 18 have the right to register.

  • Any information required for registration must be complete and correct and always up-to-date. EXP-Editions has the right to save and process the data you provided during registration, in accordance with the provisions on Data Protection.

  • In order to subscribe, you must select the desired option on the subscription screen within the iOS app, and a pop-up will appear where you have to enter your password for the Apple’s appstore. As soon as you finish, a pop-up will appear in which you have to confirm the purchase of the subscription again. At this point you can still cancel the process. You should then receive a receipt confirmation from the Apple’s appstore (not directly from EXP-Editions).

5. Trial Phases

  • EXP-Editions occasionally offers to new users in particular, free Subscription Access for testing purposes for a certain period of time (“Trial”). EXP-Editions determines, at its sole discretion, if you may participate in a Trial. In case of an important reason, EXP-Editions may discontinue or change such free Trial at any time without prior notice or notification.
  • You can only participate in certain Trials if you enter your payment details when you sign up for the Trial. In such a case, we need your consent at the beginning of the Trial that your free access will be converted into a paid Subscription Access on the day following the end of the Trial. In this situation, your subscription renews itself on a recurring basis and can be terminated up to one day before the end of the respective subscription period.
  • If you do not wish to have the Subscription Access and the charge associated with it, you must cancel your Subscription Access given to you during the Trial before the end of the Trial by simply going to the app store settings.
