Wix.com Terms of Use

Last Revised: February 27, 2017

​

​

Welcome to Wix.com’s Terms of Use! We are truly excited to have you aboard. Thank you for choosing to use our services.

 

Below we have listed important legal terms that apply to anyone who visits our website or uses our services. These terms are necessary in order to protect both you and us, and to make our services possible and more enjoyable for everyone.

 

We understand that legal terms can be exhausting to read, and we’ve tried to make the experience more pleasant. If you have any suggestions on how we can improve them, you are more than welcome to contact our legal team at legalterms@wix.com.

In order to access and use certain sections and features of the Wix Services, you must first register and create an account with Wix (“User Account”).

 

If anyone other than yourself accesses your User Account and/or any of your User Websites’ settings, they may perform any actions available to you (unless as specifically stated otherwise on the Wix Services), make changes to your User Website(s) and User Account, and accept any legal terms available therein, make various representations and warranties and more – and all such activities will be deemed to have occurred on your behalf and in your name.

 

Therefore, we strongly encourage you to keep the log-in credentials of your User Account confidential, and allow such access only to people you trust - as you will be solely and fully responsible for all activities that occur under your User Account and/or User Websites (including for any representations, warranties and undertakings made therein), whether or not specifically authorized by you, and for any damages, expenses or losses that may result from such activities.

 

You must provide accurate and complete information when registering your User Account and using the Wix Services, to which you are the sole and exclusive rightsholder. We strongly encourage you to provide your own (or your company’s) contact and billing details, including your valid e-mail address, as we may use it to identify and determine the actual and true owner of the User Account and/or User Content (as defined below) submitted to us. 

 

We reserve the right to determine ownership to a User Account based on our reasonable judgment, whether or not an independent investigation has been conducted by us. However, if we cannot make such determination (as we may deem in our sole discretion), we reserve the right to avoid doing so, without liability to you or to any other party. Among others, we may consider the principles set forth below.

 

Please carefully review these principles and consider adapting your practices accordingly, to ensure that what you believe to be “your” User Account and/or User Website remains as such:
 

1. Wix will consider the owner of a User Account, User Website and/or User Content created and/or uploaded to the Wix Services, as the person or entity who has access to the e-mail address then listed in Wix’s records for such User Account under which such User Website or User Content was created.

2. If any Paid Services (as defined in Section 5 below) were purchased via a User Account, Wix will consider the owner of such User Account and/or the relevant User Website and/or User Content created thereunder, may be considered to be the person or entity whose billing details were used to purchase such Paid Services (“Billing Information”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a User Website was connected to an external domain name (either imported or purchased as part of certain Paid Services, as defined below), and such domain’s registration information is publicly available via the WHOIS database provided on the www.whois.net website or on Wix’s database, Wix will consider the owner of such User Website as the person or entity registered as the registrant of such domain thereunder. In the event that an individual and an organization are both registered as the registrant or the registrant organization of such domain, Wix will consider the organization as the actual owner of the domain, and therefore as the owner of the User Website connected to such domain. In event the Billing Information indicates one person as the owner of the User Website and the domain registration indicates a different owner, Wix shall consider the person registered as the owner of the domain connected to the Wix Account as the owner of the User Website.

3. Notwithstanding the forgoing, Wix shall have the right to determine the ownership of User Content and/or a User Website as it chooses, including by ignoring the indications set forth above, in event Wix deems, at its sole discretion, that the situation justifies such determination, all based upon the factual situation as determined by Wix.

4. Privacy

We care about your privacy, and you should too. Please read our Privacy Policy to learn more about our practices concerning personal information

#ItsThatEasy

The use of certain Wix Services may be subject to payment of particular fees, as determined by Wix in its sole discretion (“Paid Services” and “Fee(s)”, respectively). Wix will provide notice of such Fees then in effect in relation to such Paid Services. If you wish to receive or use such Paid Services, you are required to pay all applicable Fees in advance.

 

Wix reserves the right to change its Fees at any time, upon notice to you if such change may affect your existing subscriptions. If you received a discount or other promotional offer, Wix shall have the right to automatically and without notice renew your subscription to such Wix Service(s) at the full applicable Fee.

 

All Fees shall be deemed to be in U.S. Dollars, except as specifically stated otherwise in writing by Wix. To the extent permitted by law (and unless specified otherwise by Wix in writing), all Fees are exclusive of all taxes (including value added tax, sales tax, goods and services tax, etc.), levies or duties imposed by taxing authorities (“Taxes”), and you shall be responsible for payment of all applicable Taxes relating to your use of the Wix Services, or to any payments or purchases made by you. If Wix is obligated to collect or pay Taxes for the Fees payable by you, and whether or not such Taxes were added and collected from you for previous transactions, such Taxes may be added to the payment of any outstanding Fees and will be reflected in the Invoice for such transaction. We recommend that you verify the existence of any additional fees you may be charged by third parties in connection with the purchase of Paid Services or in connection with the renewal thereof (such as international transaction fees, currency exchange fees or fees due to banks or credit card companies). Wix is not responsible for any such additional fees or costs.

 

As part of registering or submitting information to receive Paid Services, you also authorize Wix (either directly or through its affiliates, subsidiaries or other third parties) to request and collect payment (or otherwise charge, refund or take any other billing actions) from our payment provider or your designated banking account, and to make any inquiries Wix or its affiliates may consider necessary to validate your designated payment account or financial information, in order to ensure prompt payment, including for the purpose of receiving updated payment details from your payment, credit card or banking account provider (e.g., updated expiry date or card number as may be provided to us by your credit card company).

5.1. Paid Services

5. Service Fees

Our prices are stated in U.S. Dollars and before taxes, unless otherwise said. 

Wix and/or its affiliated companies will issue an invoice or credit memo for any payment of Fees or refund made to or by Wix (“Invoice”). Each Invoice will be issued in electronic form and based on the country stated in your billing address, and will be made available to you via your User Account and/or by e-mail. For the purpose of issuing the Invoice, you may be required to furnish certain Personal Information (as such term is defined in the Privacy Policy) in order to comply with local laws. Please note that the Invoice presented in your User Account may be inadequate with your local law requirements, and in such case may be used for pro forma purposes only. 

5.2. Invoices

Invoices for our paid services will be available in your user account. 

In order to ensure that you do not experience any interruption or loss of services due to the lapse of any particular subscription period, the Wix Services operate with automatic renewal, on a recurring-fees basis (except where explicitly stated otherwise by Wix in writing). Accordingly, where applicable, Wix will attempt to automatically renew the applicable Wix Service(s) for a renewal period equal in time to the original subscription period for such Service, and automatically charge you the applicable Fees using the payment method you have on file with Wix.

 

For example, if the original subscription period for a Service is one month, each of its renewal periods (where applicable) will be for one month. Therefore, unless you cancel the applicable Wix Service(s), Wix will automatically renew such Service when it comes up for renewal, and charge you the applicable recurring Fees. In order to avoid any interruptions or loss of services due to failure to process renewal charges prior to the expiration of the subscription period then in effect, we reserve our right (but shall not be obligated) to charge for the upcoming renewal period up to two (2) weeks before such renewal period actually commences. In the event of failure to collect the Fees owed by you, we may in our sole discretion (but shall not be obligated to) retry to collect on a later time, and/or suspend or cancel your User Account, without further notice.

 

For information about cancelling your Paid Services, please see Section 6.1 below.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, you are and shall be solely responsible to verify and ensure the successful renewal of the Wix Services you use (whether or not such Wix Services are subject to automatic subscription renewals). Accordingly, you shall be solely responsible with respect to any discontinuation of any Wix Services previously purchased by you, including due to a cancellation, failure to charge the applicable recurring Fees, or due to any Wix Services not being subject to automatic subscription renewals. You acknowledge and agree that you shall not have any claims against Wix in relation to the discontinuation of any Wix Services or Third Party Services, for whatever reason.

5.3. Subscription Auto-Renewals

If you are not satisfied with Wix Services that are subject to a Fee for a period of service or subscription commitment and which is your initial purchase of such service, you may provide notice of cancellation for any reason within fourteen (14) days of having first ordered or activated such Wix Services (the “Refund” and “Refund Period”). The Refund is applicable only to the initial purchase of Wix services which is an upgrading of a free website by purchasing a Premium Plan (as offered on the Wix Website). The Refund is not applicable to any additional purchases, upgrades, modification or renewals of Wix Services. If you reside in a jurisdiction which requires a longer Refund Period, we will of course be happy to accommodate such requirements in accordance with all applicable laws. If Wix receives such notice within such Refund Period, Wix will refund to you the amount Wix charged you for such Wix Services, in currency you were originally charged in, and cancel them accordingly. Please note that the Refund amount may be different than the amount you were charged due to currency changes and third party fees. Wix will not be responsible for any differences caused by change of currency exchange rates or fees you were charged by third parties. After the Refund Period, the Fees paid by you are non-refundable and non-cancellable. In addition, if we find that a notice of cancellation has been given in bad faith or in an illegitimate attempt to avoid payment for services actually received and enjoyed, we reserve our right to still charge the User who provided such notice for any Wix Services actually received, as permitted by law.

 

Please note: Certain services purchased on or through the Wix Services may be non-refundable. These include Third Party Services such as domains, business tools and applications. The terms of each purchased service or application are indicated on the Wix Website and/or as part of or during the process of purchasing such services or applications. It is your obligation to verify your ability to cancel a service prior to purchasing it. Wix will not refund any amounts paid for non-refundable Paid Services, applications or Third Party Services. 

5.4. Money-Back Guarantee

We are happy to offer a 14-day money-back guarantee for our monthly or annual paid services when first purchased. This may be extended according to the law. 

Please carefully check the terms of each service before buying, since some services are non-refundable.

Chargebacks may bring us to cancel your account, so we urge you to avoid causing them.

Please contact our Customer Support team before filing a chargeback. You will be responsible for any incorrect fees, losses and expenses that follow.

If, at any time, we record a decline, chargeback or other rejection of a charge of any payable Fees on your Wix account (“Chargeback”), this will be considered as a breach of your payment obligations hereunder, and your use of the Wix Services may be automatically disabled or terminated. 

 

In the event a Chargeback is performed, your User Account may be blocked without the option to re-purchase or re-use it, and any data contained in such User Account, including any domains, applications and Third Party Services may be subject to cancellation and Capacity Loss (as defined in Section 6.3 below). 

 

Your use of the Wix Services will not resume until you re-subscribe for any such Wix Services, and pay any applicable Fees in full, including any fees and expenses incurred by Wix and/or any Third Party Services for each Chargeback received (including Fees for Wix Services provided prior to the Chargeback, handling and processing charges and fees incurred by the payment processor).

 

If you have any questions or concerns regarding a payment made to Wix, we encourage you to first contact our Customer Support team before filing a Chargeback or reversal of payment, in order to prevent the Wix Services from being cancelled and your User Account being blocked, and to avoid the filing of an unwarranted or erroneous Chargeback, which may result in your being liable for its applicable Fees, in addition to re-payment of all the Fees applicable to the Wix Services purchased (and charged-back) by you.

 

We reserve our right to dispute any Chargeback received, including by providing the relevant credit card company or financial institution with any information and documentation proving that the User responsible for such Chargeback did in fact authorize the transaction and make use of the services rendered thereafter.

5.5. Chargebacks

Some of our services cost money. We will let you know how much beforehand

#ItsThatEasy

If your account or any of your services are cancelled, it may result in loss of content and data. You are responsible to backup your data and materials.

You may discontinue to use and request to cancel your User Account and/or any Wix Services at any time, in accordance with the instructions available on the Wix Services. The effective date and time for such cancellation shall be the date and time on which you have completed the cancellation process on the Wix Services, and the effective date for cancellation of Paid Services shall be at the end of such Paid Services’ subscription period.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, with respect to automatically-renewed subscriptions to Paid Services, such subscription will be discontinued only upon the expiration of the respective period for which you have already made payment. Please note that as the cancellation process may take a few days, in order to avoid the next automatic renewal and respective charge the cancellation request should be made at least fourteen (14) days prior to the expiration of the then-current service period.

6.1. Cancellation by User

6. Cancellation

Failure to comply with any of the Wix Terms and/or to pay any due Fee shall entitle Wix to suspend (until full payment is made) or cancel your User Account and User Website (or certain features thereof), as well as the provision of any related Wix Services (e.g., Paid Services) or Third Party Services to you. 

6.2. Cancellation by Wix

If your User Account or any Wix Services or Third Party Services related to your User Account are cancelled (whether at your request or at Wix’s discretion), it may cause or result in the loss of certain content, features, or capacity of your User Account, including any User Content, End User data or other usage data retained therein, and including any domain name reservation or registration that was included in such Services (“Capacity Loss”). Wix shall not be liable in any way for such Capacity Loss, or for saving a backup of your User Account, User Content or End User data. Please also note that additional Fees may apply to re-activation of a User Account and/or any Wix Services following their cancellation, as determined by Wix in its sole discretion.

6.3. Loss of Data, Content and Capacity

If you violate any of these terms or fail to make timely payments, we may suspend or cancel your account.

These Terms of Use were written in English, and translated into other languages for your convenience. You may access and view other language versions by changing your Wix Website language settings.
