Payments and Upgrades

From time to time we may offer additional Subscribed Personal Services for a payment of a fee. All charges associated with Your use of the Subscribed Personal Service (‘Subscription Charges’ ) are due in full upon commencement of the Term of Agreement. If You fail to pay Your Subscription Charges within five (5) business days of notice to You by the Company that payment is due or in arrears, or if You do not update payment information upon request by the Company, in addition to other remedies, the Company may suspend or terminate access to and use of the Subscribed Personal Service by You.

No refunds or credits for Subscription Charges or other fees or payments will be provided to You if You elect to downgrade Your Service Plan. Downgrading Your Service Plan may cause loss of content, features, or capacity of the Service as available to You under Your Account, and the Company does not accept any liability for such loss. The Company reserves the right to contact You about special pricing if You maintain an unusually high level of activity or other Service actions that may cause excessive stress on the Service.

Unless otherwise stated, Subscription Charges do not include any taxes, levies, duties or similar governmental assessments, including value-added, sales, use or withholding taxes assessable by any local, state, county, provincial or foreign jurisdiction (collectively ‘Taxes’). You are responsible for paying Taxes except those assessable against the Company based on its income. The Company will invoice You for such Taxes if it believes it has a legal obligation to do so and You agree to pay such Taxes if so invoiced.

If You pay by credit card, the Service provides an interface for the account owner to change credit card information (e.g. upon card renewal). The Account owner will receive a receipt upon each receipt of payment by the Company, or they may obtain a receipt from within the Service to track subscription status. The Company uses a third-party intermediary to manage credit card processing and this intermediary is not permitted to store, retain or use Your billing information except to process Your credit card information for the Company.

Term and Termination

This Agreement shall commence on the Date that initial personal registration is received by the Company and shall continue in force thereafter for the Term of this Agreement subject to any renewal thereof.

If any invoice remains unpaid after its due date, or credit card payment is refused at any point by the issuer, the Company may, without further notification or prejudice to any other remedy, suspend or disable the Subscribed Service or, at its option, terminate the Agreement. Termination due to non-payment does not relieve You of Your responsibilities under this Agreement, including the responsibility to pay all fees up to the date of termination.

This Agreement may be terminated:

forthwith by either party if the other commits a material breach of this Agreement and, in the case of a breach capable of being remedied, fails to remedy it within thirty (30) days of being given written notice from the other party to do so; or
forthwith by either party if the other passes a resolution for winding up (other than for the purpose of solvent amalgamation or reconstruction), or a court of competent jurisdiction makes an order to that effect; or
forthwith by either party if the other ceases to carry on its business or substantially the whole of its business; or
forthwith by either party if the other party is declared insolvent, or convenes a meeting of or makes or proposes to make any arrangement or composition with its creditors; or a liquidator, receiver, administrative receiver, manager, trustee or similar officer is appointed over any of its assets.

Any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Clause shall be without prejudice to any other rights or remedies You or the Company may be entitled to hereunder or at law and shall not affect any accrued rights or liabilities of either You or the Company nor the coming into or continuance in force of any provision hereof which is expressly or by implication intended to come into or continue in force on or after such termination.

Upon termination of this Agreement You will cease use of the Service immediately.

Force Majeure

The Company will not be liable for any delay or failure to perform any of its obligations if the delay or failure results from events or circumstances outside our reasonable control (a ‘Force Majeure Event’), including but not limited to acts of God, strikes, lock outs, accidents, war, fire, the act or omission of government, highway authorities or any telecommunications carrier, operator or administration or other competent authority, the act or omission of any Internet Service Provider, or the delay or failure in manufacture, production, or supply by third parties of equipment or service, and the Company shall be entitled to a reasonable extension of its obligations after notifying You of the nature and extent of such events.

Waiver

The waiver by You or the Company of a breach or default of any of the provisions of this Agreement by the other party shall not be construed as a waiver of any succeeding breach of the same or other provisions nor shall any delay or omission on the part of either party to exercise or avail itself of any right power or privilege that it has or may have hereunder operate as a waiver of any breach or default by the other party except as otherwise provided in this Agreement

Invalidity and Severability

If any provision of this Agreement shall be found by any Court or administrative body of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the other provisions of this Agreement and all provisions not affected by such invalidity or unenforceability shall remain in full force and effect. You and the Company hereby agree to attempt to substitute for any invalid or unenforceable provision a valid or enforceable provision which achieves to the greatest extent possible the economic legal and commercial objectives of the invalid or unenforceable provision.

Entire Agreement
