Introduction
This Agreement is a legally binding service contract between you and HoneyShort (referred to as "we", "us" or "our"), governing all terms and rules applicable to your use of all HoneyShort services via free trial or paid subscription.
By accessing or using our platform services, or authorizing others to use the services, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to be fully bound by this Agreement. If you use the services on behalf of a company, institution, or other legal entity (the "Entity"), you represent and warrant that you hold valid authorization to bind the Entity and its affiliated institutions to this Agreement. In such cases, all references to "you" or "subscriber" in this Agreement shall apply to the Entity and its affiliates.
If you do not possess the required authorization or disagree with any terms of this Agreement, you are not entitled to accept this Agreement or use any of our services.
To ensure uninterrupted access to our subscription services, you irrevocably authorize us to settle and deduct the subscription fee for the next billing cycle automatically before the expiration of your current billing cycle. By submitting and binding your payment information on the platform, you explicitly consent to our recurring fee deductions through the designated payment method. You may select weekly, monthly, annual, or other supported billing cycles provided by HoneyShort.
Subscription fees will be automatically deducted from your bound payment account at the start of each billing cycle. Any failure of auto-renewal caused by insufficient account balance, expired payment methods, account abnormalities, or other issues attributable to you shall result in consequences including service suspension and failed renewal, for which you shall bear full and sole responsibility.
All subscribed content is licensed solely for your legitimate use within the official HoneyShort application and our authorized affiliated platforms. Any unauthorized conduct including but not limited to malicious cracking, extraction, splitting, scraping, reproduction, and secondary distribution of platform content outside the official HoneyShort ecosystem constitutes improper use and is excluded from the scope of legitimate platform services.
We reserve the right to verify your service usage behavior at any time to ensure compliance with this Agreement. If any non-compliant use is confirmed, we reserve the right to pursue liability for your breach. You shall fully compensate HoneyShort for all losses and damages arising from your improper use or breach of this Agreement.
We provide functions for you to query and view auto-renewal orders and payment records, but we are not obligated to proactively send, mail, or issue invoices to users.
Upon successful deduction of subscription fees from your payment account, we will record the payment order and automatically renew your subscription for the next billing cycle, with corresponding service rights taking effect immediately.
In the event of system abnormalities, incorrect deductions, duplicate charges, or other issues during payment and renewal processes, both parties shall actively cooperate to investigate the causes. Losses caused by the fault of one party shall be fully borne by the faulty party. Losses arising from joint fault shall be allocated proportionally based on the degree of respective fault. If the fault cannot be reasonably distinguished, losses shall be shared equally by both parties.
We may adjust, revise, and update platform service content, service rules, and this Agreement based on reasonable business development, functional iteration, and technical upgrade needs. Any amendments will be notified to users via in-app announcements or official website publications.
If you disagree with the revised terms, you may cancel your subscription and cease using our services. Your continued use of the platform services after the update takes effect shall be deemed voluntary acceptance of all revised terms.
You may cancel your subscription and auto-renewal services at any time. Failure to complete cancellation before the end of the current billing cycle shall be deemed your consent for us to initiate payment deduction for the next billing cycle in accordance with platform rules. Successful payment will trigger automatic subscription renewal.
We reserve the right to adjust subscription service prices based on market fluctuations and operational costs. All price adjustments will be published on official platform pages. If service prices are adjusted before or during auto-renewal, the latest effective price shall apply to the current renewal settlement.
This Agreement shall take effect on the date you accept the terms or start using our platform services, and shall terminate when you terminate the services, cancel your subscription, or deactivate your account.
You may terminate your subscription services voluntarily at any time via the account settings page. Upon termination, we shall immediately cease providing all corresponding subscription rights and services to you.
If you voluntarily cancel your subscription, terminate the service, or disable payment authorization before the expiration of the current billing cycle, all subscription fees already collected by us shall be non-refundable. Unused service duration in the current cycle will not be prorated, refunded, or credited.
If either party breaches any provisions of this Agreement, the non-breaching party shall have the right to claim compensation for all resulting losses in accordance with the dispute resolution mechanisms stipulated herein.
Any disputes arising out of or in connection with this Agreement between you and HoneyShort shall first be resolved through friendly negotiation. If no settlement can be reached, both parties agree to submit the dispute to the competent courts of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region for resolution.
The formation, validity, interpretation, and full performance of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.
