By submitting payment details you promise that you are entitled to purchase a subscription using those payment details. If we do not receive payment authorization or any authorization is subsequently cancelled, we may immediately terminate or suspend your access to your subscription. In suspicious circumstances we may contact the issuing bank/payment provider and/or law enforcement authorities or other appropriate third parties. If you are entitled to a refund under these Terms, we will credit that refund to the card or other payment method you used to submit payment, unless it has expired, in which case we will contact you. The Concern uses the services of third-party payment service providers to process your payment of the Subscription Fees. Accordingly your usage of such third party services shall be in accordance with the terms and conditions adopted and implemented by such service provider, and the Concern shall not be responsible for any failed or incomplete fulfilment of any payment instructions issued by you through such service provider or any actions taken by the Concern in respect of the same. In addition to the Subscription Fees, you are responsible for paying bank charges/fees, currency conversion charges or any other fees applicable. These charges will be communicated to you on the billing page concerned with the intended transaction, and your act of proceeding with the transaction shall be construed to mean adequate notice and acceptance of such charges.

We rely on third party billing platforms and services for billing and transaction support, and do not ask for sensitive information, such as credit/debit card number, CVV, OTP, card expiry date, user IDs or passwords of third-party platforms, and ask that you do not share such information with us. Should any such demand to share such information be placed upon you, please immediately inform the Concern of such demand and the identity of the agent or representative who made such demand. In light of the above, you acknowledge that any sensitive information shared by you is at your own risk and the Concern shall not be liable for any loss that you incur for sharing the aforesaid details.

Subscription Fees will be billed upon your subscription and any renewal of your subscription, based on the subscription options provided by the Concern on the Platform, from time to time. As a general matter, all our fees and charges are non-refundable. We reserve the right to issue refunds or credits at our sole discretion. If we do issue a refund or credit, we are under no obligation to issue the same or similar refund in the future. We may change the Subscription Fees and charges then in effect or add new fees or charges which will take effect at the end of your subscription period, by giving you notice in advance and an opportunity to cancel.

The term and duration of subscriptions to Subscription Services offered by the Concern shall be listed in the schedule of Subscription Fees referenced above. Eligibility for any discounts is ascertained at the time you subscribe and cannot be changed during the term of your subscription.

If we incorrectly state a price to you whether online or otherwise, we are not obliged to provide you with a subscription at that price, even if we have mistakenly accepted your offer to buy a subscription at that price, and we reserve the right to subsequently notify you of any pricing error. If we do this, you may cancel the subscription without any obligation to us and we will refund you any money you have paid us in full, or you may pay the correct price. If you refuse to exercise either of these choices, then we may cancel your subscription and will refund you any money you have paid us in full.

If you have purchased a subscription on third-party platforms such as the google play store and the app store, you may refer to the terms and conditions adopted and implemented by such third-party platforms.
