We are not responsible for Your neglect of Your legal rights.

E. Access to the Site. You understand that all We are selling You is access to Our Services as We provide them from time to time. You need to provide Your own access to the Internet, and any fees that You incur to access Our Site are Your sole responsibility. We are not providing any hardware nor software to You – and You need to purchase or license the necessary hardware and software to access the Site.

 

II. Access Fees and User Status:

 

 

A. Access and Limited License. All Users may access certain public areas of the Site. This Agreement covers all public and non-public areas of the Site.

 

Subject to all the terms of this Agreement, We grant You a limited, nonexclusive, nontransferable personal license to access and use the Site and the Materials contained therein. Publisher provides the Materials on this Site for the personal, non-commercial use by viewers, fans, visitors, subscribers and/or potential subscribers of said Site. Users of this Site are granted a single copy license to view Materials (on a single computer only). All Materials on the Site shall be for private non-commercial use only, and all other uses are strictly prohibited. Publisher reserves the right to limit the amount of materials viewed. You agree to prevent any unauthorized copying of the Site, or any of the Materials contained therein. Any unauthorized use of the Site or any of the Materials contained therein terminates this limited license effective immediately. This is a license to use and access the Site for its intended purpose and is not a transfer of title. You will not copy or redistribute any of the content appearing on this Site. Publisher reserves the right to terminate this license at any time if You breach or violate any provision of this Agreement, in which case You will be obligated to immediately destroy any information or Materials You have downloaded, printed or otherwise copied from this Site. Violators of this limited license may be prosecuted to the fullest extent under the applicable law.

B. Membership Fees . Paid members agree to pay the fees set forth on the Site’s member sign up page. Members further agree to abide by any additional terms required by Our third party billing processors. Some Sites use recurring billing, and other Sites charge for services on an a-la-carte basis. You acknowledge that You have read and understand the fees associated with the membership or purchase selected.

 

1. Any Member failing to renew his/her Membership, but continuing to access the Site, will be billed on the a-la-carte basis, at our prevailing rates. You understand that if You become a Member through either the credit card or checking account monthly recurring plans, We employ an automatic re-bill procedure – in the amount of the preexisting subscription period and rate – in order to provide continuity of service and to diminish the possibility of an excessive a-la-carte access bill.

 

2. You understand that the requirements of Membership are greater than simply paying the required fee. It is a condition of Membership that all of the information You provide during Your signup process, and in any other interaction with Us, shall be correct, current, truthful, and complete. If You provide any false, misleading, incomplete, or otherwise incorrect information to Us, Your Membership and Your Membership discounts are null and void – and You will be responsible for a-la-carte billing for all of Your access to Our Services. We have the right to terminate Your Membership at any time, but You understand that any a-la-carte billing is retroactive if You are terminated for cause, including provision of any information that is not current, truthful, and complete.

3. You may terminate Your Membership by (1) using the cancellation button on the Customer Service link at the bottom of every page of the Services, (2) requesting cancellation through the pop-up helper on the Services, or (3) sending Us written notice of termination using the email associated with your account. For security and anti-fraud purposes, we will not accept termination requests from third-party email accounts. Recurring memberships will be terminated as of the next, regular billing cycle after notice is received.

4. Membership may never be assigned, transferred, or sold to a third party. Membership is a single-user license. You are not authorized to share any of Our Materials with any person who does not have their own Membership. If You do so, both You and the unauthorized viewer/User are jointly and severally liable for any fees that will be due if there is no Membership discount in place for the unauthorized User.

5. In the event of an unsuccessful recurring payment, an administrative fee of up to $4.00 may be applied in order to keep your subscription active until the full subscription fee can be processed successfully.

D. Past Due Payments. If We bill You for a-la-carte Services or Membership fees and You fail to pay Your account in full within thirty (30) days of the invoice date, You agree to pay interest on the past due amount at a monthly rate of 1.5%, or the highest amount allowed by law, whichever is higher, compounded daily, plus any additional collection costs, credits, charge backs and attorney’s fees.

E. Virtual Currency. We may permit members to pay for Services using one or more virtual currencies or alt coins, such as Bitcoin. Acceptance of such payment method is in Our sole discretion and may be of limited duration. Any payment in virtual currency is irreversible. Refunds of virtual currency payments is at Our sole discretion, and, if allowed, may take the form of virtual currency transfer, or corresponding cash value of the requested refund, at Our option. Additional administrative fees may accompany virtual currency transactions.

F. Billing Errors. If You believe that You have been erroneously billed, please notify Us immediately of such error. If We do not hear from You within thirty (30) days after such billing error first appears on any account statement, such fee will be deemed acceptable by You for all purposes, including resolution of inquiries made by Your credit card issuer. You release Us from all liabilities and claims of loss resulting from any error or discrepancy that is not reported to Us within thirty (30) days of its publication.
