We are required by law to state how we do business, plus we want to ensure you know what you are signing up for. The main points here that you are most likely going to be interested in are that we expect you to use Real Plans responsibly and we are not liable if you send a claim against us for any part of our service. It also states the difference between refund guarantees. For payments made on the Website or Android, Real Plans products have a 10 day period. Refunds for purchases made on Apple App Store are subject to Apple’s terms and conditions. There are no refunds for Real Plans Pro products.

We really hope you enjoy using Real Plans. We inspire many, many households just like yours to cook amazing food consistently. Anyhow… here goes…. now for the details.

Please read the Agreements carefully. They cover important information about Real Plans Services provided to you and any charges, taxes, and fees we bill you. The Agreements include information about future changes to the Agreements, export controls, automatic renewals, limitations of liability, privacy information, a class action waiver, and resolution of disputes by arbitration instead of in court.

When we make material changes to the Agreements, we’ll provide you with prominent notice as appropriate under the circumstances, e.g., by displaying a prominent notice within the Service or by sending you an email. In some cases, we will notify you in advance, and your continued use of the Service after the changes have been made will constitute your acceptance of the changes. Please make sure you read any such notice carefully. If you do not wish to continue using the Service under the new version of the Agreements, you may terminate the Agreements by contacting our support team.

11 Payments, cancellations, and refunds

Paid Subscriptions can be purchased either by paying a monthly, quarterly or annual subscription fee. When you register for a Paid Subscription you consent to get access to Real Plans immediately.

11.1 You purchased your Paid Subscription using our Website

Payment will be charged to your credit card account at confirmation of your purchase.

You can cancel your paid subscription at any time within the application or by contacting Support.

For all paid subscriptions purchased through the Real Plans website, we offer a 1-time 10-day money back guarantee for Real Plans conducted on the Website for new users.

For refundable items, if you wish to receive a full refund, you must contact Customer Support with the refund period and we will refund your money within 1 week. Once the refund is conducted you will no longer have access to your content.

We recommend canceling your subscription at least 2 days before it is due in order to be processed in time. For Quarterly and Annual subscriptions, if the charge goes through and you wanted to cancel after all, let us know and you will be charged a $14 cancellation fee and refunded the balance.

To directly ask for a refund from Apple, please open the Apple App Store receipt that was sent after purchasing the Paid Subscription. Apple usually sends the receipt within one or two days.

This defense and indemnification obligation will survive this Agreement and your use of the Sites and Services.

13 Entire agreement

Other than as stated in this section or as explicitly agreed upon in writing between you and Real Plans, the Agreements constitute all the terms and conditions agreed upon between you and Real Plans and supersede any prior agreements in relation to the subject matter of these Agreements, whether written or oral.

Some of those additional terms are listed on Real Plans’ website. To the extent that there is any irreconcilable conflict between any additional terms and these Terms, the additional terms shall prevail.

14 Severability and waiver

Unless as otherwise stated in the Agreements, should any provision of the Agreements be held invalid or unenforceable for any reason or to any extent, such invalidity or enforceability shall not in any manner affect or render invalid or unenforceable the remaining provisions of the Agreements, and the application of that provision shall be enforced to the extent permitted by law.

Any failure by Real Plans or any third party beneficiary to enforce the Agreements or any provision thereof shall not waive Real Plans’ or the applicable third party beneficiary’s right to do so.

15 Assignment

Real Plans may assign the Agreements or any part of them, and Real Plans may delegate any of its obligations under the Agreements. You may not assign the Agreements or any part of them, nor transfer or sub-license your rights under the Agreements, to any third party.
