Fees
To the extent the Services or any portion thereof is made available for any fee, you will be required to follow a payment plan and provide information regarding your credit card or other payment instrument. You represent and warrant to the Board that such information is true and that you are authorized to use the payment instrument. You will promptly update your account information with any changes (for example, a change in your billing address or credit card expiration date) that may occur. You agree to pay the Board the amount that is specified in the payment plan (as well as any applicable taxes) in accordance with the terms of such plan and this Terms & Conditions. You hereby authorize the Board to bill your payment instrument in accordance with the terms of the applicable payment plan (as well as any applicable taxes) until you terminate your account, and you further agree to pay any charges so incurred. If you dispute any charges you must let the Board know within sixty (60) days after the date that the Board charges you. We reserve the right to change Board prices. Your continued use of the Service after the price change becomes effective constitutes your agreement to pay the changed amount. You shall be responsible for all taxes associated with the Services. Recurring Payment: If you select a Service with an auto renewal feature, you authorize the Board to maintain your account information and charge that account automatically upon the renewal of the Service you choose with no further action required by you. In the event that the Board is unable to charge your account as authorized by you when you enrolled in a Recurring Payment, the Board, may, in its sole discretion: (i) bill you for your Service and suspend your access to the Service until payment is received, and/or (ii) seek to update your account information through third party sources (i.e., your bank or a payment processor) to continue charging your account as authorized by you. The Board may change the price for Recurring Payments from time to time and will communicate any price changes to you in advance and, if applicable, how to accept those changes. Price changes for Recurring Payments will take effect at the start of the next subscription period following the date of the price change. As permitted by local law, you accept the new price by continuing to use Recurring Services after the price change takes effect. If you do not agree with the price changes, you have the right to reject the change by cancelling your Recurring Payment before the price change goes into effect. Please therefore make sure you read any such notification of price changes carefully. Payments are non-refundable and there are no refunds or credits for partially used periods. You may cancel a Recurring Payment at any time, but if you cancel your subscription before the end of the current subscription period, we will not refund any subscription fees already paid to us. Following any cancellation, however, you will continue to have access to the service through the end of your current subscription period. At any time, and for any reason, we may provide a refund, discount, or other consideration to some or all of our users ("credits"). The amount and form of such credits, and the decision to provide them, are at our sole and absolute discretion. The provision of credits in one instance does not entitle you to credits in the future for similar instances, nor does it obligate us to provide credits in the future, under any circumstance.
You can cancel a recurring payment by sending an email to cancelrequest@bot.com with your account name. Your membership will subsequently be set to expire at the end of the term.
