Billing cycles are typically monthly or annual, depending on what subscription plan you select when purchasing a Subscription. Your Subscription will automatically renew at the end of each billing cycle unless you cancel auto-renewal through your online account management page, or by contacting our customer support team.

Service Provider’s Privacy Policy, together with any Service-specific data use policies, privacy statements, and privacy notices (collectively, privacy policies), detail how we treat Your Content and personal data and we agree to adhere to those privacy policies.

11.1. By You. If you terminate a Subscription in the middle of a billing cycle, you will not receive a refund for any period of time you did not use in that billing cycle unless you are terminating for one of the following reasons: (a) we materially breached these Terms and failed to cure that breach within 30 days after you have so notified us in writing or (b) a refund is required by law.

11.2. By Service Provider. Service Provider may terminate your Subscription at the end of a billing cycle by providing at least 30 days’ prior written notice to you. Service Provider may terminate your Subscription for any reason by providing at least 90 days’ written notice to you and will provide a pro rata refund for any period of time you did not use in that billing cycle.

Additionally, Service Provider may limit or suspend the Services to you if you fail to comply with these Terms, or if you use the Services in a way that causes legal liability to us or disrupts others’ use of the Services. Service Provider may also suspend providing the Services to you if we are investigating suspected misconduct by you. If we limit, suspend, or terminate the Services you receive, we will endeavor to give you advanced notice and an opportunity to export a copy of your Content from that Service. However, there may be time sensitive situations where Service Provider may decide that we need to take immediate action without notice. Service Provider will use commercially reasonable efforts to narrow the scope and duration of any limitation or suspension under this Section as is needed to resolve the issue that prompted such action. Service Provider has no obligation to retain your Content upon termination of the applicable Service.

11.3 Termination if you purchased the Services from a Reseller. If you purchased the Services through a reseller, then Sections 11.1 and 11.2 does not apply to you; rather, your rights and obligations to terminate and receive a refund are governed by your agreement with the reseller.

Changes will be effective no sooner than the day they are publicly posted. In order for certain changes to become effective, applicable law may require Service Provider to obtain your consent to such changes, or to provide you with sufficient advance notice of them.

The arbitrator may not award punitive, consequential, special, or indirect damages, but may award injunctive and other equitable relief. The arbitrator shall award interest from the time of the breach to the time of award at the rate set by Texas law for prejudgment interest.
