7. Fees

7.1. The fee for the Subscription Service (“Subscription Fee”) is calculated and payable monthly or annually. Once you set up the Account for a monthly subscription, the Company will begin billing your payment for the monthly Subscription Fee. The Company will specify the payment methods available on the Site (the “Payment Method”). Your subscription will automatically renew for successive monthly subscriptions, without prior notice to you, unless and until you cancel your subscription or the Company terminates it. You must cancel your subscription before it renews each month in order to avoid billing of the next month's Subscription Fee. You may cancel your subscription to the Service at any time by giving notice under clause 13.

Once you set up the Account for an annual subscription, the Company will bill you for one payment only. The Company will specify the payment methods available on the Site (the “Payment Method”). Your subscription will not automatically renew for successive annual subscriptions. When your subscription expires, you will automatically be redirected to the payment page to renew your subscription should you wish. If you wish to cancel your annual subscription, you can do so within 14 days of account activation, and will receive a refund in full. After this 14 day period, there will be no refunds unless the Company decide to terminate your subscription. If this was to occur, pro-rata refunds would automatically be generated.

7.2. By registering for the Subscription Service, you are expressly agreeing that the Company is permitted to bill you a monthly or annual Subscription Fee and any applicable tax. For monthly subscriptions the Subscription Fee will be billed at the beginning of your subscription and on each monthly renewal thereafter unless and until you cancel your subscription to the Service or it is terminated. The Company will automatically bill by your chosen Payment Method each month on the calendar day corresponding to the commencement of your membership. In the event your membership beginning on a day not contained in a given month, the Company will bill your Payment Method on the last day of such month. For example, if you registered for the Subscription Service on January 31st, your Payment Method would next be billed on February 28th. All fees and charges including the Subscription Fee are non-refundable. For annual subscriptions the Subscription Fee will be billed at the beginning of your subscription and will expire one calendar year from that date. All fees and charges for annual subscription are refundable for a period of 14 days after account activation. After this period, all fees and charges including the Subscription Fee are non-refundable.

7.3. The Company may change the Subscription Fee, or add new fees and charges from time to time, but it will give you advance notice of these changes by posting the same on the Site and by email. If you want to use a different Payment Method or if there is a change in your credit card validity or expiration date, you may contact the Company to amend your Payment Method. If your Payment Method reaches its expiration date, your continued use of the service constitutes your authorization for us to continue billing that Payment Method.

7.4. The Company shall be under no obligation to provide the Subscription Service until the Subscription Fee has been paid.

8. Termination

8.1. This Agreement and your access to the Service may be terminated by written notice if you are in material breach of this Agreement and the breach is not remedied within the period of 14 days after written notice of the breach has been given to you.

8.2. You may terminate this Agreement and receive a pro-rata refund for the relevant proportion of the monthly Subscription Fee if the Service is discontinued or if the Company is in material breach of this Agreement and the breach is not remedied within the period of 14 days after written notice of the breach has been given to the Company.
