7. Paid Services

If you choose to subscribe to any of our enhanced, paid services, these are the payment and billing terms that apply. Paid services and billing may auto-renew unless you cancel. You may cancel at any time.

​

7.1 Payment Terms

We offer certain premium versions of the Services (the "Premium Services") for a fee. By signing up for and using the Premium Services, you agree to our Terms, and any additional terms and conditions provided here. You also agree to waive your 14-day right of withdrawal at the moment you subscribe to the Premium Services to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, so that you are able to immediately access them.

 

The Premium Services provide you access to certain enhanced products, services, features and functionality (e.g., premium graphs and analysis, an ad-free browsing experience). By signing up for and using the Premium Services, including signing up for Free Trials of the Premium Services, you agree to pay any fees or other incurred charges that apply to the Premium Services (such as subscription fees).

 

When you sign up for the Premium Services, you must designate and provide information about your preferred payment method ("Payment Method"). This information must be complete and accurate, and you are responsible for keeping it up to date. You expressly authorize us to collect via automatic debit or ACH from your Payment Method the appropriate fees charged for the Premium Services and for any other purchases you elect to make via the Services.

 

You can choose to pay for the Premium Services on a monthly or annual basis. Unless otherwise stated, all fees due for the Premium Services are payable in advance, and will be billed automatically to the Payment Method at the start of the monthly or annual Premium Service period, as applicable. Unless otherwise stated, Premium Services will auto-renew until you elect to cancel your access to Premium Services. All purchases of Premium Services are final and non-refundable, except at our sole discretion and in accordance with the rules governing each Premium Service.
 

7.2 Termination or Cancellation of Premium Services

If you do not pay the fees or charges due for your use of the Premium Services, we may make reasonable efforts to notify you and resolve the issue; however, we reserve the right to disable or terminate your access to the Premium Services (and may do so without notice).

 

You can cancel the Premium Services at any time. More information on how to cancel can be found here. Once you have cancelled your Premium Service and received confirmation, no other changes can be made to your account. The cancellation of a Premium Service will go into effect at the end of your current billing cycle, and you will have the same level of access to the Premium Service through the remainder of such billing cycle. For example, if you are billed on a monthly basis and cancel during a given month, you will be charged for the entirety of that month and maintain access to the Premium Service through the end of that month.

 

There are no refunds for termination or cancellation of your Premium Service. If you no longer wish to subscribe to a Premium Service, it is your responsibility to cancel your Premium Service in due time, regardless of whether or not you actively use the Premium Service.

 

7.3 Fee Changes

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable laws, we may change our prices for Premium Services at any time. We will give you reasonable notice of any such pricing changes by posting the new prices on or through the applicable Premium Service and/or by sending you an email notification. If you do not wish to pay the new prices, you can cancel the applicable Premium Service prior to the change going into effect.

 

7.4 Discount, Coupon or Gift Codes

If you have received a discount, coupon or gift code to a Premium Service, the following terms and conditions apply in addition to the terms and conditions of the specific code. To redeem a discount or coupon code, log in to the applicable Service and enter the applicable code to take advantage of the relevant promotion. All discounts, gift and coupon codes can only be applied when subscribing to Premium Services, and to accounts not already subscribed to Premium Services. Discount, coupon and gift codes cannot be combined with any other cash-off price, sales, promotion or coupon, and cannot be exchanged, refunded, replaced or redeemed for cash or payment of accounts. A payment method may be required to redeem a discount or coupon code. It is your own responsibility to use a discount, coupon or gift code before it expires, and expired codes cannot be refunded or extended. It is also your responsibility to terminate the Premium Service before the end of a free or discounted period if you do not want to continue with a Premium Service at the regular price. The terms and conditions of a specific discount, coupon or gift code may include additional restrictions on its use, including but not limited to the type of plan, duration of free or discounted Premium Service, coupon validity dates, and/or purchase quantities. Evocco reserves the right to cancel discounts and coupon promotions at any time.

 

7.5 Free Trials

We sometimes offer free trials of our Premium Services or other promotional offers (each a "Free Trial"). A Free Trial provides you access to the Premium Services for a period of time, with details specified when you sign up for the offer.

 

In order to sign up for a Free Trial, you may need to provide us with your preferred Payment Method. As soon as you submit your payment details, your Free Trial will begin. You will not be charged until the Free Trial period ends.

 

Unless you cancel before the end of the Free Trial, or unless otherwise stated, your access to the Premium Service will automatically continue and you will be billed the applicable fees for that Premium Service using the Payment Method you provided. All incurred charges are final and non-refundable, except at our sole discretion and in accordance with the rules governing each Premium Service. We may send you a reminder when your Free Trial is about to end, but we do not guarantee any such notifications. It is ultimately your responsibility to know when the Free Trial will end if you decide you do not want to become a paying Premium Services user after the Free Trial period.

 

If you decide you do not want to become a paying Premium Services user, you must cancel your subscription before the end of the Free Trial period. Depending on the applicable Premium Service, you may lose access as soon as you cancel or at the end of the Free Trial period. Once you have cancelled your Free Trial and received confirmation, you cannot resume the Free Trial period even if it was not used for the entire duration of the offer.

 

Premium Service features and content may change at any time, and we cannot guarantee any specific feature or content will be available for the entire Free Trial period. The rates in effect when you sign up for the Free Trial will be the same when the Free Trial ends, unless we notify you otherwise. We reserve the right, in our absolute discretion, to modify or terminate any Free Trial offer, your access to the Premium Services during the Free Trial, or any of these terms without notice and with no liability. You may not sign up for more than one Free Trial of a given Premium Service at the same time, and we reserve the right to limit your ability to take advantage of multiple Free Trials.

 

7.6 Carbon Offsetting

Carbon offsetting is a paid service that can be availed of through Evocco’s “Offset” feature without subscription. Users can make payments to support carbon negative activities such as tree planting to sequester the carbon dioxide emissions from their food shopping, as estimated by Evocco. 

 

Before using Offset it’s required that the user adds a payment method to their Evocco account. Storage of payment details and processing of payments for Offset is managed through Stripe, a third party payment services provider. Users must agree to the Stripe terms of service to avail of Offset, and are requested to do so while adding their payment details for the first time. 

 

Adding payment details for Offset enables “One Tap Offsetting”, meaning that by simply tapping the “Offset” button on the Basket Summary page the user is giving authentication for Evocco to initialise payment processing with Stripe. The user will not necessarily be asked to give further confirmation. 

 

Payments may be processed asynchronously. The cost of carbon negative activities to offset the climate impact of food purchases is typically a small amount (less than €5.00). To optimise for lower transaction fees and ensure more money goes to support the carbon negative activities, Evocco does not execute a transaction every time a user opts to offset. When the value of offsets committed by the user reaches €5.00 payment is then processed. As authentication has previously been granted when the user added payment details and opted to offset, no further authentication is required to process the payment when the value of offsets committed reaches €5.00. After the payment has been processed, the counter is reset and payment will be processed when offsets committed reach €5.00 again.

The carbon negative activities to sequester the carbon emissions from a user’s shop are carried out by third party organisations upon payment from Evocco. Payments from individual users are made to Evocco and then by Evocco to the organisations carrying out the activities.

 

Evocco chooses offsetting organisations carefully, and reserves the sole right to choose which organisations it works with. In the event of working with multiple organisations it may be possible for the user to elect which organisations they would like their offsetting payments to support.

 

The cost of the payment to offset the climate impact of a user’s food shopping is based on Evocco’s calculation of the carbon dioxide emissions of the food products purchased. This calculation provides an estimation only. It is not to be taken as robust life cycle analysis of the climate impact of the food products purchased and is of indicative value only. 

 

The calculation of the cost of offsetting is a function of the cost of offsetting carbon emissions with offsetting organisations, the amount of carbon emissions calculated by Evocco for a given users’ food shopping, the time frame in which the emissions are to be sequestered, and administration and service costs for Evocco. 

 

The cost of offsetting for the user may vary according to any of these factors. Evocco strives to find the best value carbon offsets for users, but this does not mean the lowest cost option will always be chosen as other factors influence the decision making process. 

 

The default time frame for emissions to be sequestered is set to thirty years. This means that calculations for the cost of offsetting are based on all of the carbon emissions from the shop to be sequestered in the next thirty years. This does not mean that it is guaranteed all of the emissions will be sequestered by that point, but that they are estimated to be by Evocco’s own calculations. Evocco works with offsetting organisations that verify the carbon captured as a result of their activities, but Evocco itself makes no commitment to carrying out its own verification. 

 

Offsetting payments made to Evocco are entirely voluntary, and there is no obligation for any user to use Offset. Offsets made through Evocco are not the same as Carbon Credits, are not for resale and cannot be traded.

​

8. Shopping and E-Commerce

It is not currently possible to make purchases through Evocco. Once this functionality is made available these terms and conditions will be added to this document.

 

9. Dietary Guidance

It's important to us that users stay healthy while achieving their environmental sustainability goals. Please be responsible and use your best judgment and common sense. We provide our Services for information purposes only, and can't be held liable if you get injured or something goes wrong. In particular, while most of the content posted by the other users in our community is helpful, it is coming from strangers on the Internet and should never trump good judgment or actual medical advice.

By using our Services, you agree, represent and warrant that you have received consent from your physician before making any dietary changes based upon information available through the Services.

Product data, including but not limited to data relating to greenhouse gas emissions and nutrition may be unavailable, inaccurate or incomplete. 

 

You expressly agree that your purchasing habits, which may generate the User-Generated Content you post or seek to post on or via the Services (e.g., basket score, weekly score, etc.) and certain Third-Party Activities carry certain inherent and significant risks of property damage, bodily injury, or death and that you voluntarily assume all known and unknown risks associated with these activities, even if caused in whole or part by the action, inaction, or negligence of Evocco or by the action, inaction, or negligence of others.

 

Except as otherwise set out in these Terms, and to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we are not responsible or liable, either directly or indirectly, for any injuries or damages sustained from your dietary changes, physical activities or your use of, or inability to use, any Services or features of the Services, including any Content or activities you access or learn about through our Services (e.g., a Third-Party Activity such as a cooking class), even if caused in whole or part by the action, inaction or negligence of Evocco or others.
