3. Paid Services

What can I buy on GayPlanet and what are the conditions?

GayPlanet offers you the option to pay for certain services. GayPlanet's premium/VIP services include various opportunities to find and meet other people. All of these premium/VIP services can be purchased upon registration and can be subscribed for varying lengths of time.

The use of these services is voluntary and it depends only on the user whether to use the services or not. The description, price terms and instructions for the paid services can be found on the relevant GayPlanet pages. This information is available to the user before activating the paid service. Before activating this service, the user is always warned that the service is subject to a charge. The price list and available payment methods are listed at the point of charging for the service, the prices are final.

Payment via the website is possible through the PAYS payment gateway, which enables payment by bank transfer, SMS or payment card. In the application, payment is available using the payment modules of Apple (Appstore) and Google (Play Store).

Payment of the service creates a legal relationship between the user and the administrator. After paying all the fees associated with the payment of the service, the administrator undertakes to put the services into operation without unnecessary delay.

The administrator bears no responsibility for any costs incurred by the user in connection with the payment resulting from the contractual relationship between the user and his mobile operator or the bank that issued the user's payment card, or that maintains a bank account for the user through which the payment was made.

By purchasing a paid service, the user is not entitled to any additional services beyond the scope of the purchased service.

The administrator reserves the right to change the prices of paid services at any time without prior notice. However, the price change will not affect services already purchased by the user. The administrator will issue a tax document at the user's request. The tax receipt is sent by email.

In the event that fraudulent financial transactions are detected during credit top-up, the user's profile will be canceled immediately without the possibility of compensation.

There is also the possibility to contact the administrator or submit a claim/refund request via the email address: admin@gayplanets.com

What is the difference between cash credit and point credit and what are the conditions?

Cash credit represents real money that the user has loaded, for example, via a payment card, or transferred from earnings for their premium content.

Point credit represents only unreal money (credits) that the user earned in the point system, for example for sharing posts, blogs. Point credit cannot be transferred to a bank account and artificially increasing the point credit is prohibited. For example, by creating posts and blogs that have no user value and it is obvious that they were created only for the purpose of increasing point credit.

In case of detection of fraudulent financial transactions during top-up of cash credit, or artificial increase of point credit, the user's profile will be canceled immediately without the possibility of compensation.

How can I withdraw from the contract in case of service failure?

The User is entitled to a refund of the entire value of the purchased service (VIP membership, Visibility, Shouts, etc.) for a given period in the event of a Server service outage for a period longer than 10% of the service's validity period or in the event of a service malfunction. This option does not apply to the failure of internet connectivity between the user and the server.
