What you get
An account, an ordering or booking address of your own, and the apps. What is in your plan is on the prices page; what you pay is on your statement.
What it costs
What you pay depends on the country where your business is established, or, if you use ServeCounter privately, the country where you live. That country sets your currency; you do not choose it yourself. Paid, per location per month: CHF 25,00 in Switzerland, DKK 200,00 in Denmark, SEK 300,00 in Sweden, CZK 600,00 in Czechia, PLN 100,00 in Poland, HUF 9.000,00 in Hungary, RON 130,00 in Romania, €25,00 in the rest of the EEA and in Turkey and Ukraine, GBP 25,00 in the United Kingdom and USD 25,00 in the rest of the world; we then take no percentage of your bookings. Free: 1% of the value of every completed booking or sale, however it was paid, including cash and payments on your own card machine. On both plans a payment on a card reader through us carries a terminal fee of 0,1%, and you pay your payment provider what it charges. These are the prices for a business that starts today; in a country where signing up is not open yet, the price is shown for information. We bill in your currency; whatever your own bank or card issuer charges you, including for converting currency, is yours. Prices quoted are excluding VAT and other taxes on sales; for a business paying Dutch VAT the paid plan is €25,00 excl. btw · €30,25 incl. Where the reverse charge applies, you account for the VAT yourself; where the law requires us to charge VAT or a similar tax, we add it at the rate that applies to you. We give thirty days' notice of a price rise that applies to you; you may cancel then.
Payments from your customers
Your customers pay you, into your own account at your payment provider. They pay out to you on the schedule you agree with them. Refunds and chargebacks are for your account; we are not a party to that payment. We take our fee from a card payment through us as it happens. The fee on bookings paid another way, such as in cash or on your own card machine, is on your monthly statement. We collect that statement from your balance at your payment provider first, and only what that balance does not cover by the direct debit mandate you give before your website goes live. On a refund we return our fee in proportion to the amount refunded.
When it does not work
We aim for a product that is always on, but we do not promise a fault-free service. Planned maintenance is announced beforehand. If it is down through our fault for more than 24 hours together, we refund that month.
Your right to change your mind, as a private individual
If you use ServeCounter privately and not for a business, you have fourteen days to change your mind. You keep that even if you start straight away and switch your website on. On the paid package you pay each month in advance. If you change your mind within those fourteen days, you get back what you paid for the days you did not use.
Cancelling
Every month, with no notice period. Your data stays available to download for another thirty days, and we keep the tax records for seven years as the law requires. An unpaid invoice is never a reason to hold your data.
Not paying
If the monthly collection fails we try again on day 3 and day 7, each time with an email and a to-do on your Dashboard. If the day-7 attempt fails too, your business is paused: your booking page, new bookings and new sales stop. Nothing is cancelled or deleted: appointments already booked stay, keep their reminders and can be settled at the point of sale, and you can still sign in. Paying lifts the pause at once.
What is not allowed
Do not sell anything that is prohibited, do not use the platform for fraud, and do not send messages to people who did not ask for them. If you do, we can close your business. We say why, and you get your tax export.
What we do not stand behind
We are the point of sale, not the business. What you sell, to whom, and whether that is allowed, is yours; so are your tax return and your licences. If somebody comes after you over what you sold or put on your page, that is your matter, even when that person knocks on our door.
Who owns what
Your menu, your photographs, your prices and your customer list stay yours. We use them only to make the product work: your website, your web app, and your own app in the app stores, which we build for you and submit on your own developer account. We do not sell them on and do not use them to advertise. The product itself stays ours.
If something changes
We improve the product continuously. If we remove something you rely on, or change these terms, we give thirty days' notice and you may cancel.
Which law applies
Dutch law applies to these terms.
If something goes wrong through us
If something goes wrong through our fault, we compensate your loss up to the amount we charged you for that month, for your whole business together. If it lasts longer than a month, we add those months together. This limit falls away in the case of intent or deliberate recklessness on our part.
Text messages to US and Canadian numbers
ServeCounter Appointment Texts. When a customer books with a business on ServeCounter and ticks "Text me about this appointment" for a US or Canadian mobile number, ServeCounter texts that number about the appointment on the business's behalf: a confirmation, a reminder before it, and a message when it is moved or cancelled. That is about 2 to 4 texts per booking, and never marketing. Agreeing is optional and is not a condition of booking. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to any text to stop them, and START to receive them again. Reply HELP, or write to [email protected], for help. Mobile carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.
