Purchases and Payments

Each time you place an order for a Paid Service (including when you order a subscription) you will enter into a separate contract for that particular Paid Service on these Terms.

No cost trials

We may offer no-cost trials for a Paid Service to subscribers from time to time. If you purchase a Paid Service that includes access to a trial, you will receive access to the Paid Service for the duration of the trial period. At the end of the trial period, you will be automatically charged the price of the subscription and will continue to be charged until you cancel your subscription. To avoid any charges, you must cancel your subscription before the end of the trial period. Please note that if you purchase a subscription for a Paid Service that includes a no-cost trial, the period during which you can exercise a withdrawal right (and request a refund if applicable) begins at the beginning of the trial, not when you are subsequently billed for the subscription.

Cancellations and refunds

You may cancel a Paid Service by following the steps outlined here. Once you’ve cancelled, you won’t be charged again and your benefits will continue until the end of the billing cycle. After that point, you will no longer be able to use your benefits.

Paid Services purchased through the Google Play Store are subject to the refund process and policies located at: https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/2479637. Paid Services purchased through the iOS App Store are subject to the refund process and policies located at: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204084. Except as otherwise stated in these Terms, or the Google Play Store and iOS App Store refund policies, if you cancel a Paid Service you will not be eligible for a refund (or any alternative remedy) unless the Paid Services are defective, unavailable, or don’t perform as stated.

Price increases

When you purchase a Paid Service, you will initially be charged at the rate applicable at the time of your agreement to subscribe. If the price of a recurring Paid Service, such as a subscription, increases later, we will notify you. The increase will apply to the next payment due from you following such notice, provided that you have been given at least 30 days’ prior notice before the change is made. If you are given less than 30 days’ prior notice, the price increase will not apply until the payment after the next payment due. If you do not wish to pay the increased price for a subscription, you may cancel the subscription prior to the next billing date as described above.

Taxes

If we are required to collect or pay any taxes in connection with your purchase of a Paid Service, such taxes will be charged to you at the time of each purchase transaction.

Assignment

You may not assign, resell, sub-license or otherwise transfer or delegate any of your rights or obligations hereunder, in whole or in part, without our prior written consent, which consent shall be at our own sole discretion and without obligation; any such assignment or transfer shall be null and void. We are is free to assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder, in whole or in part, to any third-party as part of the sale of all or substantially all of its assets or stock or as part of a merger.
