By using or accessing any of the Services, you are representing that you are authorized to use the credit/debit card you enter for payment. Applicable fees for the Services may include a one-time or monthly fee, transaction fees, taxes, and any additional fees.

Some of the Services involve recurring monthly fees.

Your credit card will be charged for the subscription renewal on a particular day each month when it’s a monthly subscription. If you originally subscribed to Services on the 29th, 30th or 31st day of a month, and a succeeding month has fewer than 31 days in the month payment is due, then you will be billed for that renewal on the last day of that month.

Payments must be made with VISA, MasterCard, American Express or Discover Card. No cash, checks, or other payment form will be accepted. You are solely responsible for paying any amounts for services billed to your credit card by a third party who had access to your card or card number, even if you did not authorize such amounts.
