3.1 Technical Requirements. You are responsible for obtaining, configuring, and maintaining at your expense all third-party software, hardware, network access, telecommunications, and other services and equipment necessary for you to access and use the Applications and Services (“Infrastructure”) and for ensuring that all Infrastructure meets the minimum requirements applicable to such Infrastructure as may be published by Switcher from time to time. You are responsible for any data charges incurred from your internet service provider or wireless carrier while using the Applications and Services. You are responsible for monitoring Switcher’s status page at https://switcher.statuspage.io/ (or a successor site designated by Switcher from time to time) or other information Switcher makes available regarding the availability of the Services. Some features and services of the Applications and Services are delivered using third-parties and Switcher is not responsible or liable for such features or services, or interruptions thereof. Switcher is also not responsible or liable for interruptions in service as a result of your internet service provider, wireless carrier or third-party services required to operate Switcher (i.e. Microsoft Azure, Twilio, Cloudflare, etc.).
3.2 Recordings. You are responsible for compliance with all recording laws in connection with your use of the Switcher Properties. By using the Applications and Services, you are giving Switcher consent to store recordings of any sessions for which cloud storage functionality has been enabled. If you do not consent to having a recording stored by Switcher, you may disable this feature when creating an event. These recordings can be downloaded or deleted from your online account. Switcher will retain cloud recordings in accordance with your subscription. For example, if your subscription specifies the retention of ten (10) recordings, only your ten (10) most recent recordings will be retained, and the remaining recordings will be overwritten. You may also have the option to “pin” recordings, in which case such recordings will not be overwritten without your authorization.
4. Support. Self Service technical support is available via the Help Center page of the Website: http://support.switcherstudio.com. Email support is only available to account holders in good standing and is provided via the online dashboard or by emailing support@switcherstudio.com.

You agree that Switcher may charge to your credit card or other payment mechanism selected by you and approved by Switcher (“Your Account”) all amounts due and owing for the Applications and Services, including taxes and service fees, setup fees, subscription fees, or any other fee or charge associated with Your Account. Switcher may change prices at any time, including charging for Applications or Services that were previously offered free of charge; provided, however, that such price change will not go into effect until the renewal of your subscription.

Merchants must increase the max cap via Shopify. Here are instructions on how to increase the max cap.

A charge for the full amount of the new plan will be applied, offset by any credits.

Unless stated otherwise in the Order Form, all prices and fees are exclusive of taxes and regulatory fees, service fees, set up fees, subscription fees, or any other fee or charge associated with Your Account.

The taxes and regulatory fees charged can be changed without notice. All payments made by you to us under this Agreement will be made free and clear of any deduction or withholding, as may be required by law. If any such deduction or withholding (including but not limited to domestic or cross-border withholding taxes) is required on any payment, you will pay such additional amounts as are necessary so that the net amount received by us is equal to the amount then due and payable under this Agreement.
