SUBSCRIPTION FEES, PAYMENT, AND TRIAL MEMBERSHIPS

Some of the Services require payment of fees. Subscriber shall pay all applicable fees, as described on the Site in connection with such Services selected by Subscriber. The Company reserves the right to change its price list and to institute new charges at any time. Use of the Services by Subscriber following such notification constitutes Subscriber's acceptance of any new or increased charges or other changes. If any such new or increased charges or other changes are unacceptable to you, you may cancel your subscription at any time by calling (855) 622-4863. However, the Company is not obligated to refund any fees that have accrued to your Account(s) before the cancellation. Additionally, the Company will not prorate fees for any subscription.

Fees may be based on one-time or subscription payments as more fully described on the Site. You may pay the subscription fees with a valid credit card that is under your own name or that you are authorized to use for such purpose. Recurring subscription fees paid by credit card will automatically renew unless you affirmatively cancel your subscription prior to the beginning of the next applicable period for which the subscription corresponds. For each month that your subscription is active, you acknowledge and agree that the Company is authorized to charge the same credit card for the subscription fee. You agree to promptly notify the Company of any changes to your credit card while any subscriptions remain outstanding.

You are responsible for all applicable fees and charges incurred, including applicable taxes, and all subscriptions made by you or by anyone that has used your Account(s), including your family or friends.

CREDIT CARD RETRY

If a credit card is declined due to payment failure, we will notify you to correct the credit card details and then retry your credit card for a period.  If we can’t resolve the credit card decline, then we will cancel your subscription immediately.

TRIALS

From time to time, we may offer a free trial membership or other promotions. If you accept a free trial membership or a promotion, we will begin to bill your credit card at the conclusion of the free trial or according to the terms and conditions outlined in the promotion.

All subscriptions are recurring and will automatically renew after the end of each paid subscription period. You will not receive a refund for the current billing cycle as you will continue to have the same access and benefits of your subscription for the remainder of the current billing period.

We reserve the right to issue refunds or credits at our sole discretion. If we issue a refund or credit, we are under no obligation to issue the same or similar refund in the future.

LIQUIDATED DAMAGES

You acknowledge and agree that it would be difficult to ascertain the exact amount of damages that Company would suffer as the result of the theft of Content, especially if stolen Content is exploited for commercial use on a website or any other digital medium. Therefore, you agree that in the event you steal, copy without authorization, or otherwise misappropriate Content, Company is entitled to recover from you liquidated damages in the amount of five thousand ($5,000.00) dollars per graphic or image, and twenty thousand ($20,000.00) dollars per video clip, file, or application that is stolen, copied without authorization or otherwise misappropriated. You agree that this amount represents a reasonable, minimal, estimate of the damage that the Company would suffer but does not in any way limit actual damages if so pursued.

IRREPARABLE INJURY
