2  Services

Each of the following products and services are referred to in this Agreement as a “Service” and together as “the”, “these” or “our” Services:

Equipment Database Module Contents. The Service (referred to also as “EDB”) includes the ability to name, define, allocate, compile technical information related to equipment owned or managed. StageDB is not responsible for the Content uploaded by you and it is not responsible for any mistaken or improper allocation of model database documents to your equipment. Please make sure that you associate the correct equipment with the related models available in the service module. Do not reveal confidential or other information that you do not want to make public.

Online Risk Assessment Module Contents. The Service (referred to also as “ORA”, “ORA Basic” or “ORA Pro”) includes the ability to carry out risk analysis or risk assessments for equipment, machinery, controls, installations and processes related to the entertainment industry. Please note that while every effort is made to ensure that the information provided by ORA is correct, it is not infallible.
You must remember that ORA is an application and a tool designed to provide you with a framework to perform the risk assessment process and does not provide you with advice.
StageDB will not be held responsible for design, safety and financial decisions made based on information provided by ORA. The risk analysis or risk assessment carried out through ORA cannot guarantee that all applicable hazards pertinent to the task, process, machinery, machinery installation and/or equipment are sufficient to cover all factors to be considered when addressing the safety provisions as laid down in the applicable laws, regulations or directives.
StageDB cannot guarantee that the ORA risk analysis or risk assessment process is carried out in parallel with the design process of the item object of the assessment.
StageDB will not be deemed responsible for any damages caused, directly or indirectly, by accessing the application, by the incapacity or impossibility to access it, by relying on or using information contained therein.
StageDB reserves the right to modify the Content of the ORA application and of these legal statements at any time and without notice.
StageDB is not responsible for the design, criteria, rationale and application of the risk matrices you may use to estimate the risks.
Some of ORA Basic module outputs may be conditional to other “StageDB services”; these other services are listed in the ORA service description.
If you are a user of ORA Pro, you may be required for at least one of your users to have a Blumano Risk Assessment training certificate.

Smart Technical File Contents. The Service (referred to also as “STF”) includes the ability to upload, name, categorise, allocate, tag and compile technical information related to equipment owned or managed by your company. StageDB is not responsible for the Content uploaded by you and for any mistaken or improper categorisation of Contents to projects or bundles. Do not reveal confidential or other information that you do not want to make public, unless you want to make available this information to third parties. Users may post hypertext links to Content of third parties for which StageDB is not responsible.

Modification to Services. We have the right, in our sole discretion, to revise, update, or otherwise modify our Services or alter your access to the Services; and for material changes, to the extent reasonably possible, we will provide you with reasonable notice either posted on the website hosting the Services or to the Administrator’s (as defined below) email address. Note that we may modify the amount of storage space you have through these Services and the number of times (and the maximum duration for which) you may access the Services in a given period of time. In the event we need to maintain the security of the system or comply with any laws or regulations, we reserve the right to modify these Services immediately, and to provide the Administrator with electronic or written notice within thirty (30) days after any material modifications. You may reject any changes to our Services by discontinuing your use of these Services to which such changes relate.

10 Cancellation and Refund Policy

Cancellation policy

To cancel a subscription, navigate to your billing settings and deselect the StageDB module you want to cancel.
Cancellation will be effective the same day you make the request, but you will retain access to the paid-only features for the period you have already paid for.
For instance, if you have a yearly subscription, and cancel on the seventh month, you will still have five months’ worth of service left on your subscription. Once that period is over, your access will expire, and you will not be charged again unless you re-subscribe.
If you are a manager and you want to cancel the entire StageDB account, you need first to delete all the users, edit your profile and then cancel your account.
If your subscription expires but you don’t cancel your account, your Contents will be kept stored for six months and after that period your Contents will be deleted.

Refund policy

Users must cancel their subscription before renewal if they do not wish to be charged. To help in this endeavour, StageDB sends out an email notice when their renewal is 15 days away for annual and monthly subscriptions.
Here at StageDB, we understand that sometimes life gets in the way and people get busy. This is why we will honour refund requests on annual subscriptions up to 5 days from the date of billing.
To request a refund please contact us at support@stagedb.com.
Monthly subscriptions are ineligible for refunds, except in cases of double billing or other clerical errors.
