VERIFICATION OF ACCOUNT INFORMATION
We reserve the right (but do not undertake the obligation) to conduct a review, at any time, to validate your Account information and/or to ensure that your participation in the Site and use of the Services does not breach these Terms and/or any applicable law. You authorize us and our agents to make any inquiries of you and for us to use and disclose to any third party we consider necessary to validate this information. To facilitate the foregoing validation, you agree to provide sufficient information or documentation as we, in our discretion, may request. If you do not provide such information within thirty (30) days of our request, if your responses are incomplete or otherwise insufficient, or if we cannot verify the information applicable to your Account, your Account may be terminated.
PAYMENTS
Payments to us for Service Fees for your Account must be made using means of payment that we may approve from time to time. We currently require payments be made by a major credit card (i.e., VISA & MasterCard). Payments must be made from a payment source on which you are the named account holder. Payments are not refundable for any reason.
You will be charged in advance for Services rendered at specified day of the month on signup ("Billing Date"). If we do not receive the full amount of your Service Fees within fifteen (15) days of the Billing Date, a late payment charge of one and a half percent (1.5%) per month may be added to your bill and immediately become due and payable. You agree to pay us all reasonable attorney's fees and costs incurred by us to collect any past due amounts. Your Account will be deactivated without further notice if payment is past due, regardless of the dollar amount. If you do not pay the outstanding balance or otherwise contact us regarding reactivating your Account within thirty (30) days, we may suspend or terminate your Account. We may change our fee structure at any time with thirty (30) days notice.
You agree that we will not be liable for any loss caused by any unauthorized use of your credit card or any other method of payment by a third party in connection with the Site or the Services. You waive your right to dispute any payment made into your Account and you will bear all costs.
Any attempt to defraud, through the use of credit cards or other methods of payment in connection with the Site or the Services, or any failure by you to honor charges or requests for payment will result in immediate termination of your Account and may result in civil claims and/or criminal prosecution against you.
In the case of suspected or fraudulent payment, including the use of stolen credentials, by anyone, or any other fraudulent activity, we reserve the right to block your Account. We shall be entitled to inform any relevant authorities or entities (including credit reference agencies) of any payment fraud or other unlawful activity and may employ collection services to recover payments.
PROCESSING OF ACCOUNT PAYMENTS
We may use third-party electronic payment processors and/or financial institutions ("ESPs") to process financial transactions. When initially setting up your Account, you will have the ability to decide which ESP you want to process your payments. By selecting the ESP, you authorize us, as necessary, to instruct such ESPs to handle such transactions. You authorize us to give such instructions on your behalf in accordance with your requests as submitted on the Site for the use of Services. You acknowledge that each ESP has its own terms and conditions of use and that we are not responsible for said terms and conditions. In the event or conflict between these Terms and the ESP's terms and conditions regarding the Site or the Services, these Terms shall prevail.
RENEWALS
Our services are provided on a month-to-month basis. To provide continuous service, we automatically renew all paid subscriptions upon expiration ("Renewal Date"). By using the Site or the Services, you acknowledge that your Account will be subject to the above-described automatic renewals. In all cases, if you do not wish your Account to renew automatically, please follow the directions set out under the "Termination or Cancellations of Accounts & Refunds" section of these Terms.
TERMINATION OR CANCELLATIONS OF ACCOUNTS & REFUNDS
We may terminate these Terms, terminate your access to all or part of the Site and/or Services, or suspend any user's access to all or part of the Site and/or Services, at any time, without notice to you, if we believe, in our sole judgment, that you or any user connected to you have breached or may breach any term or condition of these Terms, if we believe it is required by law, or otherwise. We may delete any Account Data or other materials relating to your use of the Site and/or our Services on our servers or otherwise in our possession. You acknowledge that we shall not be liable to you or to any third party for any termination of your access to the Site and/or our Services.
We reserve the right to terminate your Account for nonpayment if, by thirty (30) days after deactivation of your Account, you have not brought your Account balance current or contacted us regarding reactivation. If we terminate your Account, all of your Account Data may be deleted.
You may cancel at any time before the end of your trial period, and you will not be charged for use of the Services. After the first month, you may cancel your Account before the Renewal Date, and your account will not be renewed, and account usage will be immediately terminated.
DIRECTIONS FOR CANCELING YOUR ACCOUNT
- Log in to your Singiverse Account.
- Click "Account," then "Settings".
- In the billing section, click "Cancel Service"
- After reading the notes there, check the box and click "Confirm Cancellation".
Your Account will be deactivated immediately upon cancellation
You agree that termination or cancellation will not relieve you of any obligation to pay any accrued charges, unless otherwise stated above. You shall be charged the full amount of the fee for the month in which our Services were terminated. You agree to pay any outstanding balance in full within thirty (30) days of cancellation or termination of the Services.
Upon termination of your Account for any reason, we will return or delete any personal information regarding your Account at your request and choice.
SECURITY
We will implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the information required for the performance of the Services. If you provide information to us that requires a higher level of security, such as special categories under the General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR"), you assume the responsibility of properly securing said information and acknowledge that providing any such information to us which is not required for the performance of the Services is a violation of these Terms.
MODIFICATION & TERMINATION OF THESE TERMS
We may modify these Terms from time to time. We will notify you via email or posting on the Site of such modification and will note the date of the last modification. If you use the Site or the Services after those updates are posted, you are deemed to accept and agree to be bound by those changes. These Terms will continue to apply until terminated either by you or by us as previously described in these Terms.
SERVICE USE & LIMITATIONS
We will make commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Services operational twenty-four (24) hours a day, seven (7) days a week, except for: (a) planned downtime (for which we will provide at least eight (8) hours prior notice); or (b) any unavailability caused by circumstances beyond our control, including but not limited to, acts of God, acts of government, flood, fire, earthquakes, civil unrest, acts of terror, strikes or other labor problems, or Internet service provider failures or delays.
The Services are a subscription management and billing software service. You acknowledge and agree that: (a) we will not be processing payment transactions on your behalf or on behalf of your customers; (b) we are not a bank or other chartered depository institution; and (c) we will not hold any monies for you or for your customers. Accordingly, you agree that we will not be responsible or liable for any amounts related to any credit card or online payment transaction.
We will be sending information to your payment gateway service provider; however, we make no representation as to the availability of your payment gateway service provider, and we are not responsible for any downtime or system outage of your payment gateway service provider. Furthermore, we make no guarantee that you will be successfully underwritten and approved by a merchant service provider. If you are not approved by a merchant service provider, you will be unable to take full advantage of our Site's functionality or our Services.
