Introduction

Hello and welcome to Podway!

Please carefully read these Podway Terms of Service along with any referenced additional terms and policies (collectively "Podway Terms"). The Podway Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("you") and the provider, Podway (Business ID: 3479025-8) ("Podway"). They govern your access and right to use the personal service, which includes podcasts and other content, related applications, and any other materials provided by Podway from time to time (collectively "Podway Service").

You agree that the Podway Service is available only to individuals who (i) are at least 18 years old or between 13-18 years old with parental consent, (ii) can enter into a legally binding contract with Podway, without restrictions under applicable law, (iii) reside in a country where Podway Service is available, and (iv) use the Podway Service for private, non-commercial purposes.

By accepting the Podway Terms and/or using or accessing the Podway Service, you confirm you meet the above conditions and have entered into an agreement with Podway.

Changes to Podway Terms

Podway may occasionally modify the Podway Terms for valid reasons, such as changes in service functionality, technological developments, or legal requirements. If changes are significant, Podway will notify you and/or seek your consent appropriately. If you do not agree with the changes, do not continue to use the Podway Service. Continuing use after notification constitutes acceptance of the modified terms. To terminate your Podway account due to changes, email customer service at asiakaspalvelu@podway.fi or delete your account via the service settings. If you have a free trial or paid subscription through a third party, you must cancel through that third party.

Podway Service

To use Podway Service, you must create a password-protected account ("Podway Account"). You guarantee that provided information is accurate and up-to-date. You agree not to share your account or password with others and are solely responsible for all activities on your Podway Account (including unauthorized use). Notify Podway immediately if you suspect unauthorized use and change your password as soon as possible. Podway is not liable for actions conducted through your account unless caused by Podway's own negligence.

Membership and Fees

The free version of the Podway Service provides access to certain content, features, and functionalities. Certain Premium content, features, and functionalities ("Membership") require a monthly or other equivalent paid subscription.

You may purchase Membership directly from Podway or via third-party services, such as Apple App Store. Subscriptions purchased via third parties are subject to their terms. Podway Service content becomes accessible immediately upon registration. Podway is not responsible for any charges or fees your banks or credit card companies may impose.

If you purchase Membership, you authorize Podway (or the third party) to automatically charge your selected payment method monthly or according to the subscription terms agreed. Your subscription will automatically renew at the end of each billing cycle. To prevent automatic renewal, cancel 24 hours before the current billing cycle ends. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current subscription period.

You can cancel Membership directly purchased from Podway via account settings. For third-party purchases, cancel through the respective third-party service.

Podway reserves the right to change subscription content or pricing occasionally, including regular fees or prepaid periods. Podway will inform you in advance of any price changes. Continued use after price changes constitutes acceptance. If you disagree with price changes, terminate Membership before the change takes effect.

Trial Periods

Podway may offer free or discounted trial periods ("Trial Period"). Podway reserves the right to determine Trial Period terms and cancel or modify them anytime, within legal limits, without liability.

Certain trials require providing payment details. By providing payment details, you agree Podway may begin charging after the Trial Period (e.g., monthly), as stated in trial terms. To avoid charges, cancel before the trial ends through Podway account settings or third-party service if applicable.
