Introduction
Shameless Plug is a service provided by Strange Flock (“Strange Flock”). As I am an independent developer and don’t have a big budget to create a new company, Shameless Plug will be operated by Strange Flock until such time where Shameless Plug is profitable and warrants another company. Shameless Plug is a product owned by Strange Flock (“Strange Flock”).
Shameless Plug is a paid service. Your average paid service usually means that we use your data and sell it to shady middlemen to try and make profit. THIS IS NOT THE CASE WITH Shameless Plug. We will never share your data with third parties, except where debugging of errors is required. The only thing we collect is your user ID when errors are thrown within the web application.
We respect your privacy and respect you as a human being.
Terms of Service

Transmission, storage or presentation of any information, data or material in violation of any Polish and European law is prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to: copyrighted material, material we judge to be threatening or obscene, or material protected by trade secret and other statute. The subscriber agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Strange Flock from any claims resulting from the use of service which damages the subscriber or any other party. You must adhere to all local applicable laws where applicable.
Prohibited are sites that promote any illegal activity or present content that may be damaging to Strange Flock’s servers, or any other server on the Internet. Links to such materials are also prohibited.

Billing
Shameless Plug is a paid service. No free account is offered. A trial is usually offered for 14 days. Your payment card details, except your last 4 digits, are NEVER stored on Shameless Plug. All payments are provided by Stripe.
If you purchase a service or software from Strange Flock, Strange Flock shall either:
(1) debit the client's credit card (when such information has been provided by the client); or
(2) deliver, by e-mail or regular mail, an invoice in accordance with the applicable Service Fees for services rendered. When an invoice is delivered to the client, payment shall be remitted to Strange Flock by no later than the specified payment due date. Strange Flock shall be entitled to immediately terminate this agreement for client's failure to make timely payments. You will be provided with an invoice. It is the client's responsibility to ensure that they have sufficient credit to cover this transaction. In the event that there is insufficient credit, we will send an e-mail notification, at which point we will need to be provided with another credit card account number within 24 hours. If we do not receive a response within 24 hours, the account, and all accounts under that account plan, will be suspended.
Service Fees
Certain services carry a setup fee charged by Strange Flock to client, which must be paid by client in order to have use of said services. If client terminates this agreement, client shall be responsible for any and all outstanding fees owed to Strange Flock and agrees to pay any and all fees incurred by client. Because the services are provided on a period basis, the client will be responsible for service fees incurred each period, regardless of when client provides notice of termination. Thus, for example, if the client provides notice of termination in the middle of a particular period, the client will be responsible for service fees for the entire period, and such fees will not be pro-rated or refunded.
Exceeding your API limit
Each Subscription plan has a prescribed monthly maximum API request allowance. An "API request" is a call to the API endpoint or embed call.

In the event you fail to upgrade your account within seven days of our request, we reserve the right to suspend your account and restrict your use of our Services anytime after the seventh day following our notice to you. We further reserve the right to delete your account in the event your account remains suspended for 2 consecutive months. In the event of any account suspension or deletion, you acknowledge and agree that you will not be entitled to any refunds of any amounts previously paid to us.
Fee Changes
We in our sole discretion and at any time, may modify the Fees for the Subscriptions. We will provide you with at least 30 days notice (including by email) of any proposed changes to the Fees for your Subscription to give you an opportunity to terminate your Subscription before such change becomes effective. Thereafter, your continued use of the Services after the Fee change comes into effect constitutes your irrevocable and binding agreement to pay the modified Fees for the Subscriptions.
