  • Google Play Billing for Android devices

Payment is made directly to the distribution platform (Apple or Google) according to its own terms and payment methods.

Some offers may include a free trial period whose duration is indicated at the time of subscription. The trial automatically ends with the billing of the first subscription cycle, unless canceled before the end of the trial period.

8.3 — Automatic renewal

Premium subscription is automatically renewed. At the end of each period (monthly or yearly depending on the chosen offer), the subscription is automatically renewed at the current price and payment is charged by Apple or Google to the payment method associated with your platform account.

8.4 — Cancellation

You may cancel the automatic renewal of your subscription at any time, free of charge and without justification. The cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid period (you retain Premium access until that date).

How to cancel:

  • On iOS / iPadOS: Settings → [Your name] → Subscriptions → select Basmala / Basmala Kids → Cancel Subscription
  • On Android: Google Play Store → Menu → Payments and subscriptions → Subscriptions → select the Application → Cancel subscription

The Publisher does not have the technical ability to cancel a subscription on your behalf: cancellation must be performed by you directly with the platform.

8.5 — Refund

Subscriptions and in-app purchases are subject to the refund policies of the platforms (Apple and Google), which are the sole competent parties for any refund request.

Pursuant to Article L.221-28 of the French Consumer Code, the right of withdrawal does not apply to digital content not supplied on a tangible medium whose performance has begun with your express consent, which is the case for Premium subscriptions once activated.

8.6 — Price changes

The Publisher reserves the right to modify subscription prices at any time. Any price change will be notified to you via the Application or by the platforms before it takes effect, with the option to cancel your subscription before the new price takes effect.

As a parent or guardian, you are responsible for activating and properly configuring these controls on the device(s) used by the child.

9.3 — Challenging a purchase by a minor

In the event that a minor makes a purchase without the effective consent of the parent (for example if parental controls were not activated), the parent or guardian may exercise recourse with the relevant platform (Apple or Google) within the timeframes and conditions provided for by their respective policies.
