4.1 Paid Services Offerings
When purchasing a subscription to any of the Paid Services, you may be presented with different plans or options (each a “Service Tier”). Different Service Tiers or other offerings may be subject to differences in pricing, usage rules, eligibility, restrictions, and features.
4.2 Automatically Renewal; Payments
Your subscription to any Paid Services includes enrollment into an ongoing/recurring payment plan. Your subscription will automatically renew at the end of the disclosed billing period, unless cancelled in accordance with the instructions for cancellation below. Payment will be charged to your chosen payment method at confirmation of purchase and at the start of every new billing period, unless cancelled, and you authorize the Company to charge the payment method designated in your Account at the initial confirmation of purchase, and again at the beginning of any such subsequent subscription period. You agree to immediately notify Company of any change in your payment information to maintain its completeness and accuracy. Your failure to provide accurate payment information or our inability to collect payment constitutes your material breach of this Agreement. Except as set forth in this Agreement, all fees for the Service are non-refundable. When you provide a payment method, we may attempt to verify the information you entered by processing an authorization hold. We do not charge you in connection with this authorization hold, but your available balance or credit limit may be reduced. Your “billing period” is the interval of time between each recurring billing date and corresponds to the term of your subscription. Where applicable, charges for one or more Paid Services may be prorated for any partial month of service. To see your next recurring billing date, log in to your Account and view your subscription details. You acknowledge that the timing of when you are billed may vary, including if your subscription began on a day not contained in a given month (e.g. if you have a monthly subscription and became a paying subscriber on January 31, your payment method would be billed next on February 28), due to free trials and other promotional offers, or changes in your subscription or payment method. We reserve the right to change our pricing. In the event of a price change, we will attempt to notify you in advance of the change by sending an email to the email address you have registered for your account. If you do not wish to accept a price change, you may cancel your subscription in accordance with the instructions included in that email and below. If you do not timely cancel your subscription, your subscription will be renewed at the price in effect at the time of the renewal, without any additional action by you, and you authorize us to charge your payment method for these amounts. We will not be able to notify you of any changes in applicable taxes.

If any Service, or payments for any Service, under this Agreement is subject to any Sales Tax in any jurisdiction and you have not remitted the applicable Sales Tax to Company, you will be responsible for the payment of such Sales Tax and any related penalties or interest to the relevant tax authority, and you will indemnify Company for any liability or expense Company may incur in connection with such Sales Taxes. Upon Company’s request, you will provide it with official receipts issued by the appropriate taxing authority, or other such evidence that you have paid all applicable taxes.
