Product and Service Lines
From time-to-time and in our sole discretion, we may provide access to certain additional products or features within our Services (collectively, "Subscription Products"). The Subscription Products may have their own sets of terms and conditions, and your use of the Subscription Products may require your acceptance of such additional terms and conditions.
Payments
Payments and Fees
Our Services are provided to you through the Space Owners which you have contracted with directly. We reserve the right, from time-to-time and in our sole discretion, to release upgrades or add-ons for our Services payable directly by Members who wish to subscribe to the same. Should you choose to enroll in any Subscription Products, your payment and fees for those Subscription Products will be covered in separate terms and conditions.
Automatic Monthly Renewal
Once you sign up for our Services, we will automatically process your monthly subscription fee using the billing information on file. We will process your monthly subscription fee for each billing cycle at the then-current rates until you cancel in accordance with this Agreement. You will be billed each month on the day you sign up. If you sign up or are being billed on the 29th-31st, you will be billed on the last day of the next month and then that day thereafter (and, on and after February, the 28th of each month). You must cancel your subscription prior to your billing day.
Third-Party Payment Services; PSD2 Compliance
We utilize third-party payment services to handle transactions through our Services. If you have any issue with charges, those issues need to be addressed directly between yourself and the third-party payment service. We are not responsible for the payment processing or any related disputes. In keeping with the January 13, 2018, EU Directive on Payment Services ("PSD2") and to the extent that we may assist in the facilitation of Member payments to Space Owners, we are not a licensed provider of regulated payment services and instead use third-party payment services with the requisite licensure(s), if any.
No Refunds
Refunds for memberships with Space Owners are subject to the policies and procedures set forth by the Space Owners. We do no issue refunds for our Services or Subscription Products—this includes where you pay for a subscription period then cancel that subscription during the subscription period.
