2. Modifications to this Agreement

You agree that we may modify this Agreement, or any policy or other terms referenced in this Agreement and/or in the descriptions of the Paid Services as published on any Ghanilli Website (collectively, “Additional Policies”), at any time by posting a revised version of the Agreement or such Additional Policy on any Ghanilli Website. The revised terms shall be effective as follows:

– if the revised terms are for (a) any Paid Services which we are adding at the time of the revision, (b) the Privacy Policy, (c) the Acceptable Use Policy, (d) any Service Terms, (e) any other general terms and conditions applicable to our services, websites or other properties, or (f) any Free Service, then the revised terms shall be effective upon posting (unless we expressly state otherwise at the time of posting); and

By continuing to use or receive the Services after the effective date of any revisions to this Agreement or any Additional Policies, you agree to be bound by the revised Agreement or any revised Additional Policies. It is your responsibility to check the Ghanilli Website regularly for changes to this Agreement or the Additional Policies, as applicable. We last modified this Agreement on the date set forth at the top of this Agreement.

3. Term, Termination, and Suspension

3.1. Term

The term of this Agreement (“Term”) will commence, and you may begin using the Services, once you agree to the terms and conditions of this Agreement by completing the registration process for your Ghanilli Web Services account and beginning to use the services. The Agreement will remain in effect until terminated by you or us in accordance with this Section 3.

3.2. Termination by You for Convenience

You may terminate this Agreement for any reason or no reason at all, at your convenience, by (i) providing us written notice of termination in accordance with this Section 3.2, (ii) closing your account for any Service for which we provide an account closing mechanism, or (iii) through no action other than letting your Free Trial Account expire and never again accessing the account.

3.2.1. Account Closure

If such Paid Service requires a minimum service term, or has been prepaid for a defined period, your account will be closed immediately unless you specify that the account is to be closed (a) at the end of the minimum term of service as described in the service description on the Ghanilli Website at the time of purchase, or (b) at the end of the prepaid period.

If such Paid Service requires an advance notice of termination (cancellation), your account will be closed at the end of the advance notice of termination (cancellation) period as described in the service description on the Ghanilli Website at the time of purchase.

Upon termination, all stored content and live streaming channels will be removed from the Ghanilli servers and systems within 30 days.

Since Ghanilli provides a free trial period, no refunds will be given for the unused portion already paid for or committed to when the Paid Service was purchased unless:

  • a general network outage or problem prevents you from using your account for a period of at least seventy-two (72) hours
    OR

  • you cancel within 48 hours of making a payment and have not used more than 1GB of data in that period

3.2.2.  To terminate (cancel) any of the Monthly Plans, you must log into your account, click the Chat button and submit a ticket instructing us to cancel the account or send an email to support@Ghanilli.com from the email account used to access your Ghanilli account instructing us to cancel the account.  Upon receiving and processing the notice, the account will be closed per Section 3.2.1. above.

When terminating a more expensive Monthly Plan to downgrade to a less expensive Monthly Plan, or when changing plan types at your request, you agree that no refunds or credits will be provided unless agreed to by Ghanilli in advance..

NOTE: WHILE Ghanilli MAY AT ITS SOLE DISCRETION ACCEPT A CANCELLATION NOTICE BY ANOTHER EMAIL OR BY TELEPHONE AS A COURTESY IN ORDER TO AVOID A PENDING CHARGE, YOU MUST SUBMIT A TICKET PER THIS SECTION 3.2.2 TO OFFICIALLY TERMINATE THE ACCOUNT OR THE ACCOUNT MAY BE CONSIDERED AS CLOSED DUE TO A PAYMENT DEFAULT.

3.2.3. Following termination per 3.2.2 above, upon your request Ghanilli will pay out to you the credit balance remaining in your account, if any, by PayPal or check, regardless of the minimum payment request levels as described on the Ghanilli website, by sending an email to support@Ghanilli.com with Withdrawal instructions, including PayPal account or Payee and mailing address.
