Terms of Service
The English version prevails in case of any discrepancy.
These terms of service (the “Terms”) govern your access to and use of BelkaVPN services, therefore we kindly ask you to carefully read them when visiting the BelkaVPN website, before you register, download, install and use the BelkaVPN services, which include the BelkaVPN software, BelkaVPN mobile applications and any services that BelkaVPN (“we,” “us,” “our,” or “BelkaVPN”) provides through our software, application or otherwise (all of which collectively are referred to as the “BelkaVPN Services”). BelkaVPN is provided by Dici-App Ltd.
Please note that the Terms constitute a binding legal agreement between you and BelkaVPN. By visiting the website, registering for, installing and/or using the BelkaVPN Services on any platform or device you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms or any provisions hereof, please do not install and do not use our software, our mobile application and/or any of our products or services.
If you are using the BelkaVPN Services on behalf of an organization, you are agreeing to these Terms for that organization and acknowledging that you have the authority to act on behalf of that organization.
BelkaVPN Services are transitory digital network communications services, which enhance internet security and privacy. We do not condone any unlawful use of the BelkaVPN Services. BelkaVPN Services shall not be used for any criminal, illicit and illegal acts, and you agree not to violate any law of any jurisdiction that you are originating from and any other applicable law.
BelkaVPN guarantees a strict no-logs policy for BelkaVPN Services, meaning that your activities using BelkaVPN Services are provided by an automated technical process, and are not monitored, recorded, logged, stored or passed to any third party. We do not store connection timestamps, session information, used bandwidth, traffic logs, IP addresses or other communications data. Only basic payment information is processed through our payment processing partners.
BelkaVPN may modify the Terms from time to time. The Terms are binding from the time that they are updated on our website. It is your responsibility to check and read the current Terms periodically. If you have questions or concerns regarding these Terms please contact us at support@belkavpn.com.
Our services
BelkaVPN Services are transitory digital network communications services, which enhance internet security and privacy. At your individual request and at your sole discretion we automatically provide an unsupervised and non-monitored data conduit – a virtual private network (VPN) connection – for your exclusive use, at your own risk and responsibility. You are solely responsible for the use of the BelkaVPN Services.
We grant you permission to use the BelkaVPN Services subject to the restrictions set forth in these Terms. The BelkaVPN Services may be modified, updated, interrupted or suspended at any time without notice or liability.
BelkaVPN allows a maximum of six simultaneous connections per account. That includes proxy connections, and each of them counts as a separate slot.
BelkaVPN guarantees a 99.9% service uptime. In any event, BelkaVPN shall not be liable for any loss, monetary or non-monetary harm beyond what the client paid to BelkaVPN, and this shall not include attorney fees or court costs irrespective of any laws or statutes that prescribe otherwise.
No-logs policy
BelkaVPN guarantees a strict no-logs policy for BelkaVPN Services, meaning that your activities using BelkaVPN Services are provided by an automated technical process, and are not monitored, recorded, logged, stored or passed to any third party. We do not store connection timestamps, session information, used bandwidth, traffic logs, IP addresses or other data.
BelkaVPN does not condone or endorse any unlawful, illicit, criminal or fraudulent activities perpetrated by using the BelkaVPN Services. Therefore, BelkaVPN reserves the right to suspend or terminate an account if any violation of the Terms of Service becomes apparent. As BelkaVPN protects and respects customer privacy, it does not log or track their activity in any way; however, if BelkaVPN were to find out about an offense outside of those means (i.e., a customer notifying BelkaVPN of having done so), it would have the right to suspend or terminate the account.
Intellectual property rights
Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, personal, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to: (1) download and use a copy of the BelkaVPN software; and (2) use the BelkaVPN Services, including the products and services made available on or through the BelkaVPN software or our website. No other right or license of any kind is granted to you hereunder. The license is effective until terminated, and terminates automatically if you fail to comply with these Terms.
The BelkaVPN Services, including the software and mobile application, are owned and copyrighted by BelkaVPN and are protected worldwide. We retain all right, title and interest in and to the BelkaVPN Services, including all copyrights, trademarks, service marks, trade secrets and other intellectual property rights. You shall not take any action to jeopardize, limit or interfere with our ownership of and rights to the BelkaVPN Services.
Minors
BelkaVPN Services may be used by persons aged at least 18 years old. You are disallowed to connect and use the BelkaVPN Services if you are a minor, a competitor of our business, if you have been or are prohibited from accessing the BelkaVPN Services, or if your account has been suspended or closed for any reason.
Payments
BelkaVPN Services are subscribed on a service-period basis. You choose the service period and the payment method yourself when you sign up for the BelkaVPN Services.
Your service will automatically be renewed and your chosen payment method will be charged at the end of each service period, repeating the length of the previous service period, unless you decide to cancel your subscription for the BelkaVPN Services.
Refund policy
If you wish to claim a refund, you can do so within 30 days following your purchase of BelkaVPN Service. We seek your full satisfaction with our services; however, we would like to troubleshoot an issue you experience first. There are common VPN service configuration issues that may hinder the BelkaVPN service for you, and we resolve most user issues encountered.
Subscriptions purchased via the iTunes/App Store are subject to iTunes/App Store refund policies. This means we cannot grant refunds if you purchased an app through the iTunes/App Store – you will have to contact store support for that. Payments made using prepaid cards or gift cards will not be refunded. For payments made in cryptocurrency, the equivalent amount in US Dollars will be refunded in the same cryptocurrency (based on the rate of exchange at the moment of refund).
You have a right to cancel your account at any time. You can cancel a recurring subscription from your website profile, iTunes/App Store or Google Play Store. Cancelled accounts will not be refunded for the unused part of the ongoing service period.
BelkaVPN reserves the right to suspend or refuse service to anyone at any time for any reason. No refunds will be considered for accounts terminated for violation of these Terms.
