Subscription Terms
We may offer Services on a subscription fee (the “Subscription Fees”) basis according to the pricing and payment schedule available through the Website. You agree to pay the Subscription Fees and any other charges incurred in connection with your use of the Services (including any and all applicable taxes) at the rates in effect when the charges were incurred. [If your membership includes access to areas containing premium content or services, your access to such areas may be subject to additional fees, terms and conditions, which will be separately disclosed in such areas.]
All Subscription Fees will be charged automatically to your credit card or other payment method that we offer and you select (including third-party payment processing services, such as Stripe, PayPal, Circle, and other similar payment processing services). Each subscription term shall be for [one year], which term shall automatically renew unless you terminate your subscription [at least thirty (30) days] prior to the end of the then-current term. All payments are due in advance of the subscription term. If you cancel your [annual] membership, you may use your membership until the end of your then-current subscription term and your subscription will not be renewed after your then-current subscription term expires; however, you won’t be eligible for a prorated refund of any portion of the Subscription Fee paid for the then-current membership period. You may cancel your annual membership [through your account login] or by writing to us at support@ruizbuilders.com. You hereby accept responsibility for all recurring charges made to your selected payment method prior to cancellation or termination. Your non-termination or continued use of the Service reaffirms that we are authorized to charge your selected payment method on the recurring basis to which you agreed at registration. We assume no responsibility or liability if your access to the Service fails to renew or otherwise expires because of outdated or incorrect payment information. WE MAY SUBMIT PERIODIC CHARGES WITHOUT FURTHER AUTHORIZATION FROM YOU, UNTIL YOU AFFIRMATIVELY CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION OR NOTIFY US THAT YOU WISH TO CHANGE YOUR PAYMENT METHOD INFORMATION. SUCH NOTICE WILL NOT AFFECT CHARGES SUBMITTED BEFORE WE REASONABLY COULD ACT.
All fees and charges are nonrefundable. We may change the Subscription Fees then in effect, or add new fees or charges, by giving you notice in advance. If you want to use a different credit card or payment method than one previously provided or there is a change in credit card validity or expiration date, or if you believe someone has accessed the Services using your user name and password without your authorization, you must contact us immediately. If you initiate a chargeback or otherwise reverse a payment made with your payment method, we may in our discretion terminate your account immediately. If we successfully dispute the reversal, and the reversed funds are returned, you are not entitled to a refund or to have your subscription reinstated.
