PAYMENTS FOR MEMBERSHIP PLANS & Pay As You Go PLAN You hereby represent and warrant that you have the legal right to use the payment method provided at the time of creating your Account or signing-up for the Services. You hereby authorize us to provide your payment method information to third party credit card processors so that we can charge your payment method. Please note that you may be required to provide additional information to verify your identity before a charge is processed. We offer three types of monthly membership plans; the 6 Month Membership (fee of $9.99 per month for a period of 6 months), 3 Month Membership (fee of $14.99 per month for a period of 3 months), and All-Access Membership (fee of $39.99 per month) (the “Memberships”) in addition to the Pay As You Go plan (fees ranging from $0.99 to $29.99).

By selecting to purchase a monthly Membership, signing up for the Services and agreeing to these Terms, you acknowledge that your Membership is subject to recurring payment features and you accept responsibility for all recurring payment obligations prior to cancellation of your Membership by you or by us. Your payment method provided at the time of signing-up for the Services, or as further updated, as applicable, will be automatically charged each month, on the calendar day corresponding to the commencement of the paying portion of your Membership, unless your Membership is cancelled or otherwise revoked.

IF YOU WISH TO AVOID CHARGES TO YOUR PAYMENT METHOD, YOU MUST CANCEL THE TRIAL PERIOD PRIOR TO THE LAST DAY OF YOUR TRIAL PERIOD. You hereby authorize us to periodically authorize your payment method in anticipation of applicable fees or related charges. These pending charges (usually between $1-$2), used to verify your billing address and to verify the validity of your payment method, are temporary (typically last for 2-7 days) and will not be charged to your payment method (they may however affect your credit available on your payment method). We also reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to provide new users or selected existing users with promotional offers, such as a discounted monthly Membership fee. Subject to eligibility, during any such promotional offer period, you will be charged the discounted Membership fee, plus appropriate taxes, as applicable. You agree that any such promotional offer is only applicable at the time of the specified promotional period, and understand that upon completion of said promotional period, you will continue to be charged the fee of your selected Membership. If there are any discrepancies in billing, you hereby waive your right to dispute such discrepancies if you do not notify the Company within 30 days after they first appear on an account statement.
