Once a Membership is associated with an account (e.g., you associate one Membership for HomePass Services to your account and another Membership to your account for your use of the WorkPass Services in your business), you cannot transfer your Membership to another Plume account, including to a family member’s account. In addition, to use a Plume Product or CSD that was associated with one Plume account with a new or different Plume account, a new or different Membership is required to complete the setup of Plume Products or CSD.

6.3 Membership Cancellation or Termination. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE STATED IN THESE TERMS OF SALE OR AS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE MEMBERSHIP FEE IS NONREFUNDABLE.

You may reactivate your Membership at any time with the App Platform.

Plume may suspend or terminate access to your WorkPass Membership if your WorkPass Membership is not paid when due. You may reactivate your WorkPass Membership at any time by contacting Plume Customer Support. Reactivation will restore the functionality of Work Pass Services and Plume Products in accordance with the Membership that you purchase upon reactivation.

6.3.3 Statutory Rights of Cancellation. Please see the Addendum for information about your statutory rights of cancellation. The terms in this Section 6.3 do not supersede the terms of the Addendum.

6.3.4 Other Sellers. If you purchased a HomePass Membership or WorkPass Membership from a seller other than Plume, please contact that seller in connection with cancellation. Plume cannot process cancellations of Memberships not purchased from Plume.

6.3.5 Basic Service Mode for HomePass Services: Following a HomePass Membership termination expiration in accordance with the applicable Grace Period, the Plume Products and the HomePass Services used in connection with your HomePass Membership will function in Basic Mode.

In case of a defective product or service falling within the scope of the legal guarantee, such product or service shall be repaired or replaced at no cost to the consumer (unless the repair or replacement is not possible or imposes disproportionate costs on Plume).

If a defective good is to be repaired, it must be made available to Plume who will take back the product at its own cost.

Within the terms and conditions of the legal guarantee, a consumer can obtain a reduction in the purchase price or terminate the contract by being reimbursed in full against return of the goods, if:

1° The professional has not repaired or replaced the goods in accordance with the legal guarantee or refuses to repair or replace the goods;

2° the defect persists despite the repair of the goods;

3° the defect is so significant that it justified an immediate price reduction or cancellation of the contract;

4° Plume has declared, or it results from the circumstances, that it refuses to repair or replace the goods within a reasonable timeframe and without major inconvenience for the consumer.

The consumer does not have the right to a cancellation of the sale if the lack of conformity is minor.

Any reimbursement to the customer may be reduced by the value of the usage of the goods since their delivery.

The rights mentioned above result from the application of articles 1649bis and following of the Old Belgian Civil Code.

Section 8

The 2nd sentence does not apply.

Section 10

Amendments to these Terms of Sale will be offered to you at least six (6) weeks before the proposed date on which they are effective. The amendments are only effective if you accept them. Your silence shall only be deemed acceptance of the offer of amendment (fictitious consent) if the offer of amendment is made to comply with a mandatory change in the legal situation and You have not rejected our offer of amendment before the proposed date of entry into force of the amendments. We will draw your attention to the consequences of your silence in the amendment offer. The fiction of consent does not apply to changes that affect the main performance obligations of the contract and the fees for main services, as well as to changes that are aimed at a payment from you, are equivalent to the conclusion of a new contract, or would significantly shift the previously agreed ratio of performance and consideration in our favour. If we make use of the fiction of consent, you may terminate the contract affected by the change without notice and free of charge before the proposed date of entry into force of the changes. We will specifically point this out to you in our amendment offer.

Section 11 (Disclaimers) and Section 12 (Limitation of Liability)

Plume excludes its liability for slightly negligent breaches of duty, insofar as this does not affect damages resulting from injury to life, limb or health or guarantees or claims under the Product Liability Act; furthermore, liability for the breach of obligations whose fulfilment is essential for the proper execution of the Contract and on whose compliance, you may regularly rely remains unaffected. The same applies to breaches of duty by our vicarious agents.

Section 13

The competent courts are those designated by the rules of German civil procedure as competent in consumer matters and the consumer can choose the jurisdiction of the place of the consumer’s residence at the time of the conclusion of the contract or the occurrence of the harmful event.

Our Liability To You

Despite any wording in these Terms of Sale that may state otherwise, we are responsible for losses that you suffer which are caused by us breaking these Terms of Sale, unless this loss is:

Unexpected: This means that it was not obvious that it would happen and nothing you said to us before we accepted your Order meant that we should have expected it (in law, the loss was “unforeseeable”).
Caused by a delaying event outside our control. As long as we have taken the steps set out in Section 14.5.
Avoidable. Something that you could have avoided by taking reasonable action. For example, damage to your Plume Product which you could have avoided by following our advice to apply a free update or by correctly following user instructions.
A business loss. We are not liable or responsible for any loss you suffer in connection with your trade, business, craft or profession.

Standard of Plume Products

Under English consumer law, the Plume Products must be as described, fit for purpose and of satisfactory quality.

During the expected lifespan of your Plume Products, your legal rights entitle you to the following: (i) up to 30 days: if your goods are faulty, then you can get a refund; (ii) up to six months: you are entitled to repair or replacement within a reasonable time, and if your goods can’t be repaired or replaced, then you’re entitled to a full refund, in most cases; (iii) up to six years: if your goods do not last a reasonable length of time you may be entitled to some money back.

We do not disclaim any of these requirements. Aside from the exceptions set out in the ‘Our Liability To You’ section immediately above, we do not limit our responsibility for losses that you suffer that are caused by us failing to fulfil these requirements.

In relation to any services that we provide to you, we will provide these with reasonable care and skill and in accordance with the information that we have provided to you. If we fail to meet these obligations, our liability to you will be limited to the amount that you have paid for those services.

Price variation

In relation to our right to change the pricing for a Membership that you purchased, as set out in these Terms of Sale, in addition to providing you with 30 days’ prior notice of this change, you will have right to cancel your Membership within this notice period prior to the change in price taking effect.
