- introducing changes of a non-substantive nature, i.e. solely editorial (including stylistic, grammatical and numbering corrections, correcting obvious mistakes) or systematizing (for the purpose of improving the readability and understanding of the document);
- adapting the provisions of the Terms and Conditions to legal provisions or to changes in legal provisions which relate to or affect providing the Services as well as including a purchase of icons (e.g. changes in VAT rates, if applicable);
- adapting the Terms and Conditions to the best practices regarding the provision of the Services, including the best practices in the protection of the Users' rights;

9.5.1. In relation to the Users who are not Consumers or the Sole traders and have the Account on the Lordicon Platform, Lordicon may also change the Terms and Conditions for reasons other than those listed in point 9.5.
9.5.2. In each case of changes to the Terms and Conditions, Lordicon will inform the User about it by sending information to the email address provided by the User at least 30 (thirty) days before the changes to the Terms and Conditions enter into force. The notification will include the content of the changes and the consolidated text of the Terms and Conditions in a form that allows for its storage and reproduction in the ordinary course of activities. The provisions of the Terms and Conditions in force at the time of concluding a given Purchase agreement shall apply to the Purchase agreements concluded before the indicated changes enter into force.
9.5.3. The User may terminate the Agreement until the day preceding the entry into force of the changes to the Terms and Conditions, which is tantamount to submitting a request to delete the Account. If the Agreement is not terminated in accordance with the above, the User declares that they accept the changes to the Terms and Conditions.
9.5.4. The User who does not agree to the content of the changes and the new wording of the Terms and Conditions is bound by the existing regulations or provisions that have been accepted by them until the expiry of the Purchase agreement concluded for a specific period.
9.6. Indemnification. The User running a business activity (except the Sole trader) shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Lordicon (including the Lordicon Parties) from and against all liability, demands, claims, costs, losses, damages, recoveries, settlements, and expenses (including interest, penalties, reasonable attorney fees, accounting fees, and expert witness fees) incurred by Lordicon, known or unknown, contingent or otherwise, directly or indirectly arising from the User’s breach of any term or provision of these Terms and Conditions or any way related to the User’s use of the Lordicon Platform, including but not limited to any claim for infringement of the Intellectual Property Rights of a third party. Lordicon shall notify that User of any such claim and shall cooperate with the User, at its expense, in defending or settling such claim. The User shall not settle any such claim in a manner that imposes any non-indemnified costs or otherwise adversely affects Lordicon’s rights without Lordicon’s prior written consent. The User may join in defense with counsel of its choice at its own expense. If the User does not assume the defense of any such claim within thirty (30) days after the date notice of such claim is given, Lordicon may defend against such claim in such manner as it may deem appropriate at the User’s expense, including, without limitation, settling such claim, after giving notice to the User.
9.7. The right to withdrawal. The User who is the Consumer or the Sole trader has the right to withdraw from the Agreement or Purchase agreement concluded directly with Lordicon, without giving reasons, within 14 (fourteen) days from the date of concluding the relevant agreement unless they have not demanded that the Services or digital content shall be made available before the expiry of the withdrawal period and the Service has been fully performed or digital content has been already provided. In the event of consent to the Services or digital content being available before the expiry of the withdrawal period, the User can obtain an icon prior to the lapse of a 14-day period from the date of making it available. However, it means that the User loses the right to withdraw from the relevant agreement (about that the User is informed before consent to making the Services available before the expiry of the withdrawal period) and the Client accepts it. Confirmation of such resignation from the right of withdrawal will be sent electronically by Lordicon on the User’s email address
9.7.1. The User can withdraw from the Agreement by using the model withdrawal form set out in Annex 1 to these Terms and Conditions (the same is contained in Annex 2 to the Polish Act on Consumer Right) but it is not mandatory. To meet the deadline for withdrawal from the Agreement specified in point 9.7 above, it is sufficient to send information on the exercise of the User's right to withdrawal from the Agreement before the expiry of this period.
9.7.2. The User can withdraw from the Agreement electronically, by sending information about the withdrawal from the User’s email address registered by Lordicon along with the User’s login to the address hi@lordicon.com or by sending information about the withdrawal to the address of Lordicon’s registered office.
9.7.3. If Lordicon receives a valid declaration of withdrawal from the Agreement or Purchase agreement concluded through Paddle by the User, Lordicon will accordingly delete the User’s Account or initiate proportionally refund of payments already made by the User (if applicable) in any case within no more than 14 (fourteen) days. If the withdrawal is effective Lordicon initiates refunds immediately, and in any case not later than 14 days from the date on which it was informed about the decision to exercise the right to withdraw from the Purchase agreement. However the User will be obliged to pay for the time of using the subscription despite the request to perform the Purchase agreement before the deadline for withdrawal. The refund will be made using the same payment methods that were used by the User in the original transaction. Please note that Lordicon is only able to initiate a refund and Paddle is liable for refunding a payment. In any case, the User will not incur any fees in connection with the form of payment refund.
9.7.4. The User who has withdrawn from the Agreement in accordance with the above provisions is obliged to stop using the Services.
9.8. Complaints. In the event that the User believes that the Agreement is not being performed in accordance with the provisions of the Terms and Conditions, they may submit a complaint to Lordicon in the term of 30 (thirty) days from noticing the breach of the Agreement by Lordicon. The complaint should contain the objections to the Services along with an explanation, login and email address assigned to the Account of the User submitting the complaint and a proposed method of settling the complaint. All complaints will be handled within a reasonable timeframe, not exceeding 14 (fourteen) days. The notices and complaints of the User can be sent by email to: hi@lordicon.com. Information on the acceptance or rejection of the complaint along with its justification is sent to the User electronically to the email address provided by them during registration.
9.8.1. In the event of refusal to settle the complaint in accordance with the method proposed by the User or failure to handle the complaint within 14 (fourteen) days from the date of its receipt by Lordicon, the User has the right to pursue claims through court proceedings.

9.8.3. For the avoidance of any doubt, the instruction included in paragraph 9.8.2. above does not constitute an arbitration clause or an automatic consent of Lordicon to participate in mediation or arbitration proceedings.
