5. Pricing and Fees.

5.1 Prices posted in the Platform represent the fees which are payable to Company for your use of and/or access to certain services and/or Content. You agree to pay all charges to your account, including applicable taxes, in accordance with billing terms in effect at the time a charge is made. We reserve the right to institute new fees or charges effective upon notice in the Platform. When prompted to do so, you must provide us with valid payment information. If payments cannot be processed or are returned for any reason, we reserve the right either to suspend or terminate your order, thereby terminating all further obligations by Company.

5.2 All applicable taxes which, as now existing or implemented by future law, Company may be required to pay or collect with respect to the sale, purchase, delivery, storage, processing, use, consumption or transportation of any of the Goods shall be paid by you to Company or the applicable taxing authority upon demand by Company. To the extent you fail to remit payment of taxes in accordance with the preceding sentence, you hereby authorize Company to charge your credit card, or other payment account on file, the full amount to be paid to applicable taxing authorities, to the extent that such taxes may be lawfully collected from or charged to the account of Company.

If you fail to update your payment method within a reasonable amount of time, Company may cancel your subscription.

5.4 All sales and transactions are final. Payments are nonrefundable and there are no refunds or credits for partially used periods. But Company may approve a refund in the form of a credit on request if exceptional circumstances exist. The amount and form of a refund, and the decision to provide it, is at Company’s sole discretion. The provision of a refund in one instance does not entitle you to a refund in the future for similar instances; nor does it obligate Company to provide refunds in the future, under any circumstance. You acknowledge that if you voluntarily close your account before using all your credits, you will not receive a refund for your unused credits. Unused credits will expire automatically after six months. If you delete your account or if your account is terminated by Company for breach of this agreement, you will lose any accumulated credits. If you receive free or promotional credits, Company may expire them at any time. Credits are not redeemable for any sum of money or monetary value from Company unless Company states otherwise in writing.

5.5 If you purchase a subscription to a paid service that automatically renews, you may cancel the subscription any time before the end of the current billing period and the cancellation will take effect on the next billing period. You will have access to the paid service from the time you cancel until the start of the next billing period; you will not receive a refund or credit for any remaining days in your current billing period. You can change the automatic renewal settings or cancel your subscription at any time via your user account portal on the Website.
5.6 If you believe that Company has charged you in error, you must notify Company in writing no later than 30 days after you receive the billing statement in which the error first appeared.

39.2 Any dispute between the parties to this Agreement, any dispute between you and Company, as well as any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement (including as may arise under the private attorneys general act of any states, in each case, a “Dispute”) will be settled by arbitration before a single arbitrator administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules that are in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated, as modified by the terms set forth in this Agreement. Copies of these rules can be obtained at the AAA’s website (www.adr.org) (the “AAA Rules”) or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if requested by you and if proper based on the facts and circumstances of the Disputes presented, the arbitrator shall have the discretion to select a different set of AAA Rules, but in no event shall the arbitrator consolidate more than one person’s Disputes, or otherwise preside over any form of representative, collective, or class proceeding. The parties may select a different arbitration administrator upon mutual written agreement. The arbitration shall be governed by the state law or federal law applicable to each specific claim brought, with the exception that arbitrability shall be determined by the arbitrator and governed in primary conformity with the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. and, secondly, any state arbitration act.

The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof, provided that any award may be challenged in a court of competent jurisdiction.

39.4 To ensure timely resolution of disputes, the party initiating arbitration must do so within the statute of limitations (deadline for filing) provided by applicable law pertaining to the Dispute, subject to any shorter period of time set forth in this Agreement which is intended to shorten the applicable statute of limitations. The failure to initiate arbitration within this time limit will bar any such claim.

The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant all monetary or equitable relief (including, without limitation, ancillary costs and fees) available under state and federal law.

39.6 No Class or Consolidated Disputes

39.6.1 YOU AND COMPANY AGREE THAT YOU MAY BRING CLAIMS, AS APPLICABLE, AGAINST THE COMPANY ONLY IN YOUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and Company agree otherwise, the trier of fact may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. The arbitrator shall have no authority to consider or resolve any Dispute or issue any relief on any basis other than an individual basis. The arbitrator shall have no authority to consider or resolve any Dispute or issue any relief on a class, collective, or representative basis. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claims.

39.7 The exceptions to the Dispute resolution provisions of this Section 40 are: (a) actions by Company for equitable relief; and (b) any other claim where an agreement to arbitrate is unenforceable under applicable law and not preempted by the FAA. To the extent that either party has the right to seek assistance from, file charges with, or participate in investigations and proceedings of any federal, state or local agency, such rights are not precluded by this dispute resolution provision, but this dispute resolution provision does operate as a waiver of any additional personal monetary recovery if related to any Dispute. In the event of any administrative or judicial action by any agency or third party that adjudicates any Dispute, neither Company, nor you, shall be permitted to receive a double recovery.

39.8 Except in the discretion of Company in the event that confidentiality would prevent the deduction by Company of payment to you pursuant to any award, the parties agree to keep confidential, and will not disclose to any person, except as otherwise required by law, the existence of any controversy covered by this dispute resolution process, the referral of any such controversy to arbitration or the status or resolution thereof.

39.9 Severability. In the event that any portion of this Section 38 is deemed illegal or unenforceable under applicable law, and not preempted by the FAA, such provision shall be severed and the remainder of the provisions of this Section 38 will be given full force and effect.
