Plain-English summary
Spark's terms include significant risks for users. Business Customers are explicitly denied refunds, and all outstanding credits for Teams can be forfeited upon deletion or cancellation. The company can immediately terminate accounts without notice for material breaches, and no refunds will be issued in such cases. All legal disputes are subject to Irish law and must be resolved in Irish courts, which may be inconvenient for international users. Additionally, Spark can impose usage limits and modify or discontinue service without prior notice, potentially disrupting your use of the platform.
