We reserve the right to suspend, modify and terminate any Services provided free-of-charge at any time at our sole and absolute discretion.

Paid Subscription

Your membership is for a pre-determined duration as agreed when you subscribe. Depending on your selection, it may thereafter automatically renew on a month-to-month basis until terminated. You must have a device that supports the Platform and internet access in order to view the Service Content (as defined below). You will also need to provide a current, valid, accepted method of payment (which may be updated from time to time). If you select the automatic renewal option, in order to avoid further billing of charges for the Services, you must cancel your membership at least 24 hours prior to the commencement of the relevant renewal period.

Subscription plans may be offered by us directly or in partnership with select third parties. We are not responsible for any products or services provided by such third parties. Please be aware that different subscription plans may have additional terms, such as special offers, and these are disclosed to you upon sign-up or through other communications.

Billing

 

The subscription fee for the Service and any other charges incurred (such as taxes and transaction fees) will be charged on a one-time basis, or on a monthly basis (if you select the automatic renewal option) to your selected payment method on the calendar day that corresponds to the date you commenced paying for the Service (or such other date, if that date has changed due to declined method of payment or other reason). We will authorise your payment method in anticipation of future subscription charges once you have subscribed. Your balance or credit limit will be adjusted accordingly to reflect the authorised amount.

 

Payment

 

The valid, permitted payment methods are in your Account Page. You may update your payment method from time to time. You authorise us to continue charging the selected payment method. If your primary payment method is declined you authorise us to charge any amounts owed to any other methods of payment you have connected to your account.

If you have signed up for the Services via a third party, you may need to terminate through that third party (for example, if you have subscribed through an in-app store payment method). The method of terminating your service varies by provider, such as switching off ‘auto-renew’ in your third party account settings.
