Subscriptions & Charges
(a) General. Cachinko bills you through an online account (your "billing account")
for use of the service. You agree to pay Cachinko all charges at the prices then
in effect for any use of the service by you or other persons (including your agents)
using your billing account, and you authorize Cachinko to charge your chosen payment
provider (your "payment method") for the service. You agree to make payment using
that selected payment method. Cachinko reserves the right to correct any errors
or mistakes that it makes even if it has already requested or received payment.
(b) Recurring billing. Subscription plans to the service consist of an initial period,
for which there is a one time charge, followed by recurring period charges as agreed
to by you. By entering into this agreement, you acknowledge that your subscription
has an initial and recurring payment feature and you accept responsibility for all
recurring charges prior to cancellation. Cachinko may submit periodic charges (e.g.,
monthly) without further authorization from you, until you provide prior notice
(confirmed in writing upon request by Cachinko) that you have terminated this authorization
or wish to change your payment method. Such notice will not affect charges submitted
before Cachinko reasonably could act. To terminate your authorization or change
your payment method, go to Billing.
(c) Current information required. You must provide current, complete and accurate
information for your billing account. You must promptly update all information to
keep your billing account current, complete and accurate (such as a change in billing
address, credit card number, or credit card expiration date), and you must promptly
notify Cachinko if your payment method is canceled (e.g., for loss or theft) or
if you become aware of a potential breach of security, such as the unauthorized
disclosure or use of your user name or password. Changes to such information can
be made at Billing. If you fail to provide Cachinko any of the foregoing information,
you agree that Cachinko may continue charging you for any use of the service under
your billing account unless you have terminated your subscription for the service
(confirmed by you in writing upon request by Cachinko).
(d) Payment method. The terms of your payment will be based on your payment method
and may be determined by agreements between you and the financial institution, credit
card issuer or other provider of your chosen payment method (the "payment method
provider"). If Cachinko does not receive payment from your payment method provider,
you agree to pay all amounts due on your billing account upon demand.
(e) Change in amount authorized. If the amount to be charged to your billing account
varies from the amount you preauthorized (other than due to the imposition or change
in the amount of state sales taxes), you have the right to receive, and Cachinko
shall provide, notice of the amount to be charged and the date of the charge at
least 10 days before the scheduled date of the transaction. Any agreement you have
with your payment method provider will govern your use of your payment method. You
agree that Cachinko may accumulate charges incurred and submit them as one or more
aggregate charges during or at the end of each billing cycle.
(f) Auto-renewal. Your Cachinko subscription will be automatically extended for
successive renewal periods of the same duration as the subscription term originally
selected, at the then-current non-promotional subscription rate. To change or resign
your subscription at any time, go to Billing. If you resign, 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, you won?t be eligible
for a prorated refund of any portion of the subscription fee paid for the then-current
subscription period.
(g) Reaffirmation of authorization. Your non-termination or continued use of the
service reaffirms that Cachinko is authorized to charge your payment method. Cachinko
may submit those charges for payment and you will be responsible for such charges.
This does not waive Cachinko's right to seek payment directly from you. Your charges
may be payable in advance, in arrears, per usage, or as otherwise described when
you initially subscribed to the service.
(h) Free trials and other promotions. . Any free trial or other promotion that provides subscriber-
level access to the service must be used within the specified time of the trial. You must cancel
your subscription before the end of the trial period in order to avoid being charged a subscription
fee. If you cancel prior to the end of the trial period and are inadvertently charged for a subscription,
please contact Customer Support at support@cachinko.com or 713.589.6511 to have the charges reversed.
