Terms of service

This is a translation provided for convenience. The Russian edition is the legally binding one; in case of any discrepancy, the Russian text prevails.

These Terms are a public offer. They describe what you get, what you pay for and what you and Morzik (the “Service”) may expect from each other.

1. General

1.1. These Terms are concluded between the Service and any person who starts using it (the “User”).

1.2. Acceptance is by action: registering, starting the free period, paying for a subscription or connecting with the access issued to you. By doing any of these, the User confirms they have read these Terms and accept them in full.

1.3. If you disagree with any clause — do not use the Service.

1.4. The current edition is always published on this page. Its date is shown at the top.

2. Definitions

2.1. Software — the Service’s client programs and the related components whose right of use is granted under these Terms.

2.2. Service — the Morzik information service that makes the Software work.

2.3. Subscription — access to the Service for the period chosen by the User.

2.4. Access — the personal link and the related data the User connects with.

3. Subject matter

3.1. The Service grants the User a simple (non-exclusive) licence to use the Software, together with access to the information service that makes that Software work, to the extent and for the period of the chosen Subscription.

3.2. The subject matter of these Terms is not: the provision of communication services, telematic services or data transmission services; the provision of access to the Internet; VPN as a telecommunication service; or any service of circumventing restrictions.

3.3. The Service is not a communications operator, does not provide communication services and does not carry out activities requiring a communications licence.

3.4. The Software establishes a secure (encrypted) connection between the User’s device and the Service. That is a technical function of the program, not a separate service rendered to the User.

3.5. The Service neither provides nor guarantees access to any particular third-party website, application or resource, and hosts no third-party content.

4. Access and account

4.1. To obtain Access the User creates an account — by email address or via Telegram.

4.2. Access is personal. One Subscription is intended for one device. Passing Access to third parties, publishing it, reselling it and sharing it are not permitted.

4.3. The Service uses automated means to detect one Access being used from several devices at once. Where such use is detected, Access may be temporarily limited — see section 9.

4.4. The User is responsible for keeping their sign-in data safe and for everything done using their Access.

4.5. How and how fast Access is delivered is described on the How you get access page, which forms an integral part of these Terms.

5. Free period

5.1. A new User is given a free period of three days.

5.2. The free period requires no payment and stores no payment method. Nothing is charged automatically when it ends.

5.3. The free period is granted once. The Service may refuse a repeat free period, including where an attempt to obtain one again is detected.

6. Price and payment

6.1. The price of a Subscription is stated on the Service’s site and in the account, and applies as at the moment of purchase.

6.2. Payment is made by the methods available at the moment of purchase. The User sees the current list when arranging the Subscription.

6.3. A Subscription runs for the period paid for. When it ends, Access is suspended; there is no automatic renewal without an explicit action by the User.

6.4. The Service may change its prices. A change does not affect a period already paid for.

7. Acceptable use

7.1. The User undertakes not to use the Software or the Service for:

• spam, phishing or distributing malicious software;
• fraud, including fraud involving payment data;
• network attacks, scanning or attempts to gain unauthorised access to other systems;
• infringing the rights of third parties, including intellectual property rights;
• anything prohibited by applicable law.

7.2. The User decides for themselves whether using the Software and the Service is permitted under the law of the country they are in, and is responsible for that decision.

7.3. Acts aimed at circumventing the technical limits of the Subscription — in particular using one Access on more than one device — are prohibited.

8. Liability and absence of warranties

8.1. The Software and the Service are provided “as is”. The Service does not warrant uninterrupted operation, any particular connection speed, or compatibility with every device and program the User has.

8.2. The Service is not liable for restrictions imposed by state authorities, communication operators or internet providers, nor for other circumstances beyond its control. Such restrictions are not a defect of the Software or the Service and do not give rise to a refund.

8.3. The Service is not liable for third-party hardware, operating systems, networks or programs, nor for the User’s own actions.

8.4. The Service’s aggregate liability to the User on any ground is limited to the amount actually paid by the User for the current paid Subscription period.

9. Suspension and termination

9.1. The Service may limit or terminate Access where section 7 is breached, or where one Access is found to be used by several devices.

9.2. A limitation is proportionate: as a rule Access is restored automatically after a short interval. On repeated or serious breaches Access may be terminated with no refund.

9.3. The User may stop using the Service at any time. No special cancellation procedure is required — simply stop using the Access.

10. Refunds

10.1. The free period exists so the Service can be evaluated before paying. By starting a paid period, the User confirms they had that opportunity.

10.2. Access is treated as delivered from the moment it is issued. The amount paid for a started period is not refundable, save for the case in clause 10.3.

10.3. If the Service was unavailable for a prolonged time for reasons attributable to the Service, then on the User’s request the Service will extend the Subscription or refund the part of the amount corresponding to the unused period. Which of the two is agreed with the User.

10.4. The following are not grounds for a refund: the restrictions described in clause 8.2; termination of Access under section 9; unsuitable or faulty equipment of the User.

10.5. A refund request is sent to the support channel named in section 13.

11. User data

11.1. The Service follows the principle of minimisation: only the data without which Access cannot be provided is collected.

11.2. Depending on how you registered, that is an email address or a Telegram account identifier, plus data about the term and state of the Subscription.

11.3. To protect against Access being passed to third parties, technical connection data is processed. It is kept for a short time, deleted automatically, and is not used to profile the User.

11.4. The Service does not sell User data and does not pass it to third parties, except where the law expressly requires it.

12. Changes

12.1. The Service may amend these Terms. A new edition is published on this page with its date.

12.2. Changes take effect upon publication. Continuing to use the Service after publication means accepting the new edition.

12.3. The conditions of an already paid Subscription period are not subject to change.

13. Contact

13.1. The support and official correspondence channel is @morzik_vpn_bot.

13.2. The Service’s site is morzik.net.

13.3. Requests are handled within a reasonable time; where a request requires verification, the Service may ask for the additional details needed to identify the Subscription.
