any time threatening or offensive, we reserve the right to immediately
terminate your
membership and you will not be entitled to any refund of unused subscription
fees.
30. Subscriptions; Charges on Your Billing Account.
(a) General.
Hotenough bills you through an online account (your "Billing
Account") for use of the Service. You agree to pay Hotenough 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
Hotenough to charge your chosen payment provider (your "Payment Method") for
the Service. You agree to make payment using that selected Payment Method.
Hotenough reserves the right to correct any errors or mistakes that it makes
even if it has already requested or received payment.
(b) Recurring Billing.
Most 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. HOTENOUGH MAY SUBMIT PERIODIC CHARGES (E.G., MONTHLY) WITHOUT
FURTHER AUTHORIZATION FROM YOU, UNTIL YOU PROVIDE PRIOR NOTICE (CONFIRMED IN
WRITING UPON REQUEST BY HOTENOUGH) THAT YOU HAVE TERMINATED THIS
AUTHORIZATION OR WISH TO CHANGE YOUR PAYMENT METHOD. SUCH NOTICE WILL NOT
AFFECT CHARGES SUBMITTED BEFORE HOTENOUGH REASONABLY COULD ACT. TO TERMINATE
YOUR AUTHORIZATION OR CHANGE YOUR PAYMENT METHOD, GO TO MY ACCOUNT.
(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 HOTENOUGH 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 MY
ACCOUNT. IF YOU FAIL TO PROVIDE HOTENOUGH ANY OF THE FOREGOING INFORMATION,
YOU AGREE THAT HOTENOUGH 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
HOTENOUGH).
(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 Hotenough 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 hotenough 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 Hotenough 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 Hotenough 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 My Account. 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 Hotenough is authorized to charge your Payment
Method. Hotenough may submit those charges for payment and you will be
responsible for such charges. This does not waive Hotenough'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 to have the
charges reversed.
31. Blocking of IP Addresses.
In order to protect the integrity of the
Service, Hotenough reserves the right at any time in its sole discretion to
block Members from certain IP addresses from accessing the Website.
32. Member Disputes.
You are solely responsible for your interactions with
other Hotenough Members. Hotenough reserves the right, but has no
obligation, to monitor disputes between you and other Members.
33. Personal Safety.
You understand that meeting new people, by whatever method or means, always
requires taking normal precautions you should otherwise follow in
establishing new relationships. Those may include, but are not limited to,
meeting in public places, checking with mutual friends, free or fee-based
internet search options, and otherwise using common sense about protecting
yourself and your property. You understand that you are responsible for
protecting yourself and your personal and financial information, that you
are not entrusting that responsibility to anyone else, and that you
understand that nothing on Hotenough is designed to or should be expected to
do any of that for you.
