(c) Recurring Billing. If you register for a monthly subscription to the Service, your subscription will renew automatically on a month-to-month basis and we will automatically charge your account each month on the anniversary date of the initial billing for the duration of your membership. If you register for a longer subscription period, at the conclusion of your initial subscription period, you will be automatically renewed for a monthly subscription (on the anniversary date of the initial billing). In all instances you will NOT be notified of the recurring billing charges prior to the charging of their account.
(d) Cancellation. Your subscription will renew automatically and you will continue to be billed on a recurring basis unless and until you cancel your subscription in accordance with the procedure described in the HELP section, which can be accessed on the top right corner of each page on this Website.

For purposes of billing, identification, and future communications, you must provide Company with all information requested by Company at the time you submit your subscription order. Without limitation, you must provide your full legal name, address, telephone number(s), email address, and applicable payment data (e.g., a credit card number and expiration date). It is your responsibility to keep such information accurate, current, and complete. To update your billing and payment information, _____________. Failure to promptly provide Company with updated billing information could result in the suspension or termination of your subscription.
(f) Subscription Fees. You agree to pay all subscription and membership fees. Subscription and membership fees will be as published by the Company from time to time or otherwise quoted to you in writing (electronically or otherwise). Subscription and membership fees are subject to change from time to time at the Company’s sole discretion. The Company may establish or change subscription and membership fees for any renewal month by specifying such fees via one or more of the Subscriber Notification Methods (as listed below) in advance of the applicable renewal month.
(g) Payment. All subscription and membership fees will be billed to the credit card that you designate during registration (or such other credit card as you may designate from time to time). You hereby authorize Company to debit your credit card for any and all amounts owed by you hereunder, and you will keep such credit card as you register with Company for this purpose in effect and in good standing and with available open credit sufficient to cover any such amounts arising under this Agreement. If for any reason the credit card that Company has on file for you becomes, in Company’s understanding or judgment, cancelled, invalid, insufficient, non-authorized, frozen, unavailable, unreliable or for any reason unusable or ineffective for prompt payment to Company, then you will immediately provide Company with a replacement credit card and related information; all authorizations hereunder will apply to any such replacement credit card(s). In addition, if Company requests that you provide a back-up credit card, then you will immediately provide Company with a back-up credit card and related information; all authorizations hereunder will apply to any such back-up credit card(s) and Company may debit the primary or any back-up credit card in its discretion, to the extent necessary to satisfy such amounts as are then due from you under this Agreement. Failure to provide Company with a replacement or back-up credit card upon request could result in the suspension or termination of your subscription and membership in the Service. You hereby authorize Company, its affiliates, contractors and service providers to have access to, use, store and communicate your credit card information, contact information and all other data identifying or pertaining to you but only insofar as is reasonably related to the performance, enforcement or administration of this Agreement or your subscription and membership in the Service. Company reserves the right to invoice, bill or otherwise request or demand payment from you in any other lawful method, in which case you will make payment of such invoice, bill or other demand or request as soon as possible but in no event later than within ten (10) business days after your receipt of same. You are responsible for and shall immediately reimburse us for (if we have paid same) all chargebacks, penalties and other related charges, assessments and costs asserted by any credit card company, bank, payment processor or other organization involved in the payment process (each, a “CC Assessment”) unless the sole cause of the CC Assessment was Company’s breach of this Agreement or violation of applicable law.

At Company’s discretion, past due subscription and membership fees are subject to a late-payment service charge at the rate of 1.5% per month, or the maximum permitted by law, whichever is less. You shall be responsible for all expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Company in connection with the collection of any past due subscription and membership fees. You are responsible for, and agree to reimburse Company for any payment by it of, any and all taxes of any kind or nature (including, without limitation, value-added, sales, use, excise, license, services and like taxes), and all penalties, interest or other assessments relating thereto, arising from this Agreement (excepting taxes based on Company’s income).
