Payments

 

Fees. Your User Account may select to subscribe to our paid services (“Premium Services”). Unless otherwise specified, Premium Services are provided on an ongoing, per license subscription-basis, including automatically recurring payments for periodic charges, according to the terms and conditions of the subscription. You agree to pay to Collective the fees for the Premium Services (“Subscription Fees”).


Payment of Fees. Unless otherwise specified, all Subscription Fees will be paid monthly in advance (though overage fees, if any, may be charged in arrears), and all references to currency set forth herein will mean U.S. dollars, with all payments hereunder to be made in U.S. dollars. Subscription Fees are non-refundable and non-creditable. If the payment method selected is credit card, ACH, or direct debit, you acknowledge and authorizes Collective to charge Subscription Fees and other amounts automatically, on an auto-renew basis, based on your subscription start date for each subsequent subscription term. For the avoidance of doubt, all additional Subscription Fees for additional Services accessed by you will be billed when the Service is first accessed and automatically, on an auto-renew basis, based on your existing subscription start date. Collective may from time to time provide notice regarding any renewal term(s) and the auto-renew processes. Premium Services will continue unless and until you or Collective terminate your subscription. You must cancel your Premium Services before they renew in order to avoid billing the next periodic Subscription Fees to your account. If you elect to pay by credit card, then you are responsible for both (a) enabling auto-recharge on your account and (b) ensuring that your account has a sufficient positive balance to cover all Subscription Fees when due. Should Collective be unable to process/receive the Subscription Fees when due and owing, payment shall be considered overdue. Additionally, after payment becomes overdue, Collective will have the right to immediately suspend your access to the Premium Services and/or seek to enforce your payment obligations, including through the use of third-party services. If Collective sends your account for collection and/or initiates legal action to collect overdue amounts, Collective may seek to recover all costs and expenses of such action, including reasonable legal or attorney’s fees, court costs, and expenses.


Fee Increase. Collective reserves the right to determine the applicable Subscription Fees. Collective will make reasonable efforts to keep the information relating to Subscription Fees published on its Website up to date, you should check the Website periodically for information about current Subscription Fees. Additionally, Collective may adjust the Subscription Fees as it deems appropriate. Collective may also, from time to time and in its sole discretion, make promotional offers or different Subscription Fees available to its clients or other users. Such promotional offers will not apply to you or this Agreement unless specified in writing.
