Your subscription to a paid Service Plan, which may start with a Free Trial (as defined below), will continue month-to-month or year-to-year (depending on your Service Plan selection) unless and until you cancel your membership. You agree to pay all fees or charges to your account in accordance with the fees, charges and billing terms in effect at the time a fee or charge is due and payable. You must provide us (via Stripe) with a valid credit card (Visa, MasterCard, or any other issuer accepted by Stripe) of a payment provider (“Payment Provider”), or purchase order information, as a condition to signing up for the Services. Your Payment Provider agreement governs your use of the designated credit card, and you must refer to that agreement, not these Terms, to determine your rights and liabilities. By providing Scribenote (via Stripe) with your credit card number and associated payment information, you agree that Scribenote is authorized to immediately invoice your account for all fees and charges due and payable to Scribenote hereunder and that no additional notice or consent is required. You agree to immediately notify Scribenote of any change in your billing address or the credit card or PayPal account used for payment hereunder. Scribenote reserves the right at any time to change its prices and billing methods by e-mail notice to you and to cancel or suspend your subscription for non-payment (see “Automatic Renewal” section below).
- Free Trials. We may make all or part of the Services available to you on a trial basis free of charge (“Free Trial”). The Free Trial shall begin when you submit a registration to us and shall terminate on the earlier of (i) seven (7) days after registration, or the Free Trial expiration date specified by us upon receiving your registration, or (ii) the date you register for a paid Service Plan. If the Free Trial expires and you have not registered for a paid Service Plan, you will automatically be registered for a free Service Plan. You will not receive a notice from us that your Free Trial period has ended. The Services are provided “as-is” and without warranty of any kind during the Free Trial, and Scribenote will not have any liability to you whatsoever in connection with your use of any such Free Trial. For combinations with other offers, restrictions may apply. Free Trials are for new and certain former members only. Scribenote reserves the right, in its absolute discretion, to determine your Free Trial eligibility.
- Service Subscription Fees. You will be responsible for payment of the applicable fee (if any) for the Service Plan for which you are registered. To view the specific details of your membership, including monthly or yearly membership price and end date of your Free Trial period, visit https://app.scribenote.com and click the "Subscription Details" section on your “Account” page. We may authorize your payment through the Payment Provider, including authorizing it up to approximately one month of Services as soon as you register. In some instances, your available balance or credit limit may be reduced to reflect the authorization during your free trial. Except as set forth in these Terms or other Service Plan terms provided to you, all applicable fees for the Services are non-refundable. No contract will exist between you and Scribenote for the Services until Scribenote accepts your order by a confirmatory e-mail, SMS/MMS message, or other appropriate means of communication.
We will begin billing your membership fees for paid Service Plans when you register for a paid Service Plan. Subscribers to monthly paid Service Plans are billed each month and subscribers to yearly paid Service Plans are billed annually. CLICK ON YOUR "ACCOUNT" PAGE AT THE TOP OF THE SITE (https://app.scribenote.com) TO FIND CANCELLATION INSTRUCTIONS. We will continue to bill you monthly or yearly, as applicable, for your membership fee until you cancel (see “Automatic Renewal” section below). - Taxes. The payments required under Section 6(b) of these Terms do not include any sales tax that may be due in connection with the Services. If Scribenote determines it has a legal obligation to collect sales tax from you in connection with these Terms, Scribenote shall collect such sales tax in addition to the payments required under Section 6(b) of these Terms.
- Automatic Renewal. Your registration for a free or paid Service Plan will continue indefinitely until terminated in accordance with these Terms or any other Service Plan terms provided to you. After your initial subscription period for a paid Service Plan, and again after any subsequent subscription period, your subscription will automatically commence on the first day following the end of such period and continue for an additional equivalent period, at Scribenote’s then-current price for such subscription. If you do not wish your Subscription to renew automatically, or if you want to change or terminate your Service Plan, please contact Scribenote at support@scribenote.com or log in to https://app.scribenote.com and go to the “Subscription Details” section of your “Account” page. If you cancel your registration for a free Service Plan, your registration will be cancelled immediately and you will no longer be able to use the Services. If you cancel your subscription for a paid Service Plan, you may use your subscription until the end of your then-current subscription term; your subscription will not be renewed after your then-current term expires. However, if you cancel a subscription to a paid Service Plan, you will not be eligible for a prorated refund of any portion of the subscription fee paid for the then-current subscription period. By subscribing for a paid Service Plan, you authorize Scribenote to charge your Payment Provider now, and again at the beginning of any subsequent subscription period. Upon renewal of your subscription, if Scribenote does not receive payment from your Payment Provider, (a) you agree to pay all amounts due on your account upon demand and/or (b) you agree that Scribenote may either terminate or suspend your subscription and continue to attempt to charge your Payment Provider until payment is received (upon receipt of payment, your account will be activated and for purposes of automatic renewal, your new subscription commitment period will begin as of the day payment was received).
