Section 4.    ORDERS AND PAYMENT

You agree that any order you place through the Site (each, an “Order”) is an offer to buy, under these Terms of Service, all Products and Services listed in your Order.  We must accept all Orders before we are obligated to sell the Products or Services to you.  Acceptance of your Order and the formation of the contract of sale between us and you will not take place unless and until you have received your Order confirmation email.  We may choose not to accept any Order, or cancel any Order, in our sole discretion.  If we make a change to or cancel an Order, we may attempt to notify you by contacting the email and/or billing address/phone number provided at the time the Order was made.  You agree to pay for all Orders you place through the Site.  

In the event you dispute the amount or validity of any payments made to Company, you must notify us within thirty (30) days of payment, of any such dispute by mail or email at the address or email address listed below.  You expressly agree that your failure to notify Company of any dispute within thirty (30) days of payment will constitute your express waiver of any claims related to the disputed payment.  You agree that you will pay all costs and expenses of collection, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by Company in the event of failure to make payment.

All prices posted on this Site are subject to change without notice.  The price charged for a Product or Service will be the price in effect at the time the Order is placed and will be sent out in your Order confirmation email.  Price increases will only apply to Orders placed after such changes.  Posted prices do not include any applicable taxes or charges for shipping and handling.  All such taxes and charges will be added to your merchandise total and will be itemized in your shopping cart and in your Order confirmation email.  We are not responsible for pricing, typographical, or other errors in any offer by us and we reserve the right to cancel any Orders arising from such errors.

We reserve the right, but are not obligated, to limit the sales of our Products or Services to any person, geographic region, or jurisdiction.  We may exercise this right on a case-by-case basis.  We reserve the right to limit the quantities of any Products or Services that we offer.  All descriptions of Products or Product pricing are subject to change at any time without notice, and in our sole discretion.  We reserve the right to discontinue any Product at any time.  Any offer for any Product or Service made on this Site is void where prohibited.  We do not warrant that the quality of any Products, Services, information, or other material purchased or obtained by you will meet your expectations, or that any errors in the Service will be corrected.

SECTION 5.    SUBSCRIPTIONS

Subscription Services are available to customers who have registered their accounts by truthfully filling out all required personal information and become subscribers. If you choose to be a subscriber, you agree to take full responsibility for your selection and use of the Subscription Services. This Agreement is void where prohibited by law, and the right to access or use the Subscription Services is revoked in such jurisdictions.

The Company may change, modify, suspend or discontinue the Subscription Services, fees, charges, terms at its own discretion at any time, including the availability of any feature or content. The Company may also impose limits on certain features or restrict your access to parts or all of the Subscription Services without notice or liability.

The Subscription Service requires payment before you receive your service. We may also offer special promotional plans, memberships, or services, including offerings of third-party products and services in conjunction with or through the Subscription Service. We are not responsible for the products and services provided by such third parties. When you purchase a Subscription, you will have access to any Subscription Service item or content currently available within that subscription for the period you have chosen for your Subscription. We may decide to periodically update the Subscription Services features and/or content made available in the Paid Subscription, and some Subscription Services features, software and/or content may either become unavailable or be made available for free when this happens.

Your Subscription begins as soon as your initial payment for Subscription Services is processed. If you commence a Subscription, your initial service will be set verbally by sales representatives.

Your Subscription will automatically renew each month or year depending on the term you have chosen without notice until you cancel. You authorize us to store your payment method(s) and to automatically charge your payment method(s) every month or year until you cancel. We will automatically charge you the then-current rate for your Subscription, plus applicable taxes (such as but not limited to sales taxes, VAT or GST if the Paid Subscription fee does not include it), every month or year upon renewal until you cancel.

We may change the Subscription’s rate each monthly or yearly renewal term, and we will notify you of any rate change with the option to cancel. Subject to applicable law, you accept the new price by continuing to use the Subscription Services after the price change takes effect. If during the term of your Subscription the applicable sales tax, VAT, GST rate or any other tax or duty changes, we will adjust the tax-inclusive price for the Paid Subscription accordingly on your next billing date.

You may cancel your Subscription at any time; however, there are no refunds for cancellation, and you understand and agree that you shall receive no refund or exchange for any unused services promised.
