4.2 Fifteen-Day Free Trial

Eligible Customers may receive one (1) Free Trial lasting fifteen (15) consecutive calendar days. The Company reserves the right to determine eligibility for a Free Trial and to deny, limit, or revoke a Free Trial where it reasonably believes the offer is being abused.

No payment method is required to begin the Free Trial, and Customer will not be automatically charged when the Free Trial expires. Upon expiration of the Free Trial, Customer’s access to some or all of the Services may be suspended or restricted unless Customer purchases a paid Subscription and provides a valid payment method.

4.3 Automatic Renewal

Each paid Subscription automatically renews for successive billing periods unless Customer cancels before the end of the then-current Subscription Term. Customer authorizes the Company and its Authorized Payment Processor to charge the applicable Subscription Fees upon each renewal without additional notice, except as required by applicable law.

4.4 Payment Authorization

Customer authorizes the Company and/or its Authorized Payment Processor to charge all Subscription Fees, applicable taxes, and other authorized charges to Customer’s designated payment method. Customer represents that it is authorized to use the designated payment method.

4.5 Payment Processor

Payments may be processed through one or more independent third-party payment processors selected by the Company (each, an “Authorized Payment Processor”). The Company may change its Authorized Payment Processor from time to time without requiring an amendment to this Agreement.

Customer’s payment relationship with such processor shall be governed by the processor’s applicable terms and privacy policies. The Company does not store complete payment card information unless expressly stated.

Customer acknowledges that the Authorized Payment Processor may act as merchant of record and, in that capacity, may be the contracting party of record for billing, invoicing, sales tax collection and remittance, payment method disputes, and chargebacks, notwithstanding that the Company is the contracting party for the Services under this Agreement. To the extent the Authorized Payment Processor’s terms of sale conflict with the billing, refund, or cancellation mechanics described in this Article 4, the Authorized Payment Processor’s terms shall govern the payment transaction itself, and this Article 4 shall govern Customer’s right to access and use the Services.

4.8 Cancellation

Customer may cancel a Subscription at any time through the Account management portal or by following the cancellation procedures designated by the Company. Cancellation will take effect at the end of the then-current Subscription Term and will prevent the Subscription from automatically renewing for an additional term. Cancellation does not entitle Customer to a refund of amounts previously paid. Customer may continue to access the Services through the end of the then-current paid Subscription Term, unless the Agreement is terminated earlier pursuant to its terms.

4.9 No Refund Policy

The fifteen (15)-day Free Trial provides Customer with an opportunity to evaluate the Services before purchasing a paid Subscription. No payment method is required to begin the Free Trial, and Customer will not be automatically charged when the Free Trial expires.

Upon expiration of the Free Trial, Customer’s access to some or all of the Services may be suspended or restricted unless Customer selects a paid Subscription and provides a valid payment method.

Once Customer purchases a paid Subscription, all Subscription Fees are final, fully earned when paid, and non-refundable, except as required by applicable law or expressly provided in this Agreement.
