If you do not agree to these Terms, or if you are under 13 years of age, you are not granted permission to use this Site and must exit immediately.

We reserve the right at any time to modify, alter, or update these Terms. Your use of the Site following any changes means that you agree to follow and be bound by the Terms as changed.

1. Registration

In order to access certain portions of the Site (e.g., e-mail, newsletters, competitions, forums, content downloads, promotions, etc.), you may be asked to register and create an account. Additionally, certain contents and services of the Site may only be accessed through purchase or paid subscription. In some instances, special terms, and end user license agreements apply to some services, products, software, competitions or promotions offered via the Site. Such terms will be posted in connection with the applicable service, product, software, competition, or promotion and are in addition to these Terms. In the event of a conflict, the additional terms prevail over these Terms.

By registering an account on the Site, you represent that you are 18 years of age or older or that you are 13 years of age or older and that you have the permission of a legal guardian to access and use the Site. As part of the registration process, you may be asked to select a user name and password. You will also be required to provide us with certain information about yourself including some types of personally identifying information, such as your email and your address. You agree that any information that you provide to the Site shall be true and accurate and current, and you are responsible for updating such information to keep it true, accurate, and current.

2. Billing and Payment

All subscription fees will be billed at the beginning of the paying portion of your subscription and each subscription period thereafter (as specified at the time of purchase), unless and until you cancel your subscription. By becoming a paying subscriber to the Site, you accept responsibility for all recurring charges prior to cancellation. You authorize us to charge your selected payment method for all amounts for your subscription. We may also periodically charge your card in anticipation of membership or related charges. Your subscription will be automatically extended for successive subscription periods and you will be billed at the then-current subscription rate. Your subscription will continue, and automatically renew, until cancelled by you. To cancel your subscription at any time, you must logon to your account, or, alternatively, you may email us and we will do it for you. If you cancel your subscription before the end of the applicable subscription period, you will not receive a refund of the fee paid for that period. Furthermore, if you do not cancel prior to the first day of the renewal period, you will be charged and fully responsible for the entirety of that subscription period’s fees. If you cancel, you may use your subscription only until the end of your then-current subscription term. For the avoidance of doubt, upon the cancellation or termination of your subscription, you will no longer have access to the information and materials made available to you during your subscription period, including any reports or other Site Materials made available only to subscribers.

You represent and warrant that: (i) any credit information you supply is true, accurate, and complete; (ii) charges incurred by you will be honored by your bank or credit card company; (iii) you will pay the charges incurred by you at the posted prices, including any applicable taxes; and (iv) if your initial payment method is dishonored, you will still pay the charges incurred, including any surcharge we may incur due to such dishonored payment. You are solely responsible for all fees charged to your credit card by the issuer, bank, or financial institution, including membership, overdraft, insufficient funds, and over the credit limit fees. You agree to notify us about any billing problems or discrepancies within ninety days after they first appear on your statement. If you do not bring them to our attention within ninety days, you agree that you waive your right to dispute such problems or discrepancies. If you want to use a different payment method, or if there is a change to your current payment method (such as your credit card validity or expiration date), you must edit your payment method information associated with your account. If your payment method reaches its expiration date and you do not edit your payment method information accordingly or cancel your account, you authorize us to continue billing that payment method and you remain responsible for any uncollected amounts.

We reserve the right to modify, alter, or update our subscription packages and pricing at any time. We will attempt to notify you of any changes (through email or a posting on the Site) prior to charging you for the revised packages or pricing, but you will remain responsible for all such (in any event) for any amounts billed to your account, even if you fail to see our notices.
