- The recipient of the payment is the owner of the Stripe account and not PollUnit. By linking the Stripe account to PollUnit, the payee becomes the responsible merchant and is held financially liable by the financial institution that processes the payer's credit card payments.
- Payments to a wallet incur a 2.9% - 4.9% transaction fee depending on the user account in addition to any fees charged by the payment provider, Stripe. This is automatically retained by the payee. This fee is non-refundable.
- The payee is responsible for invoicing and complying with all applicable laws and regulations related to the processing of personal data collected in connection with the payments. This includes compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other applicable laws on the protection of personal data.

The Payee shall be liable for any damage or loss resulting from a breach of these obligations.
- The Payee shall be fully responsible for processing all full and partial refunds and other reimbursements in connection with payments accepted by it. This includes processing refunds required due to chargebacks, incorrect payments, or other reasons. Payee shall ensure that all refunds are processed properly and in a timely manner and that all required documentation and information is provided. The payee is liable for any damages or losses incurred due to errors or delays in processing refunds.
13. Deletion of inactive PollUnits
- PollUnits of users with a Premium, Business or Enterprise Plan will not be deleted automatically. Those users are responsible for deleting their PollUnits.
- PollUnits of users without a PollUnit account or with a free PollUnit plan, as well as those with an expired Premium, Business or Enterprise plan, will be deleted after one year of inactivity. Inactive PollUnits are PollUnits in which no voting or options have been added and no editing has been done for one year. Users, who have deposited an e-mail address, can postpone the deletion for one year and can do this every year again. For this purpose, they will be sent an e-mail 2 weeks before deletion which contains a link to the extension. We cannot guarantee that this email will arrive. The delivery could be prevented by a full mailbox, spam filters and the like.
- The users are responsible for saving their data before deletion.
14. Account Sharing and Reselling

Account sharing is generally prohibited unless the individuals are collectively managing the same PollUnits.
- Depending on the subscription plan, it is possible to create entities known as PollUnit Organizations. Each organization can have a predetermined number of members added to it. Within an organization, members can collaboratively create and manage PollUnits, utilizing the feature set associated with the account that created the organization. Transferring an organization or providing it to third parties is not permitted.
