6. Payment

6.1.    Access to the Services, or to certain features of the Services, require you to pay fees as agreed in the Purchase Order and further discussed below. Before you pay any fees, you will have an opportunity to review and accept the fees that you will be charged. Upon registering for Services, you will be required to designate a valid credit card or PayPal® account. You hereby authorize Artbrain to charge to your designated account all Fees relating to the Services you select, and you agree to pay all such Fees in accordance with the applicable cardmember agreement or PayPal® terms and conditions. YOU, AND NOT ARTBRAIN, ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING ANY AMOUNTS BILLED TO YOUR CREDIT CARD BY A THIRD PARTY, WHICH WERE NOT AUTHORIZED BY YOU.


6.2.    Initial Set-up Fees: By subscribing to the Services, you agree that you will pay the applicable set-up fee for the package to which you have elected to subscribe. Your set-up fee will automatically be charged to the credit card you designated as the credit card to be billed for your account.


6.3.    Monthly Fees: By subscribing to the Services, you agree to recurring billing. Billing occurs on the same day each month, based on the date that you started the package to which you have elected to subscribe. The following terms shall apply to such monthly payments:

 
6.3.1.    To ensure uninterrupted service, all monthly subscriptions to the Services are renewed automatically. You hereby authorize Artbrain to charge Fees for the renewal period to the credit card or PayPal® account on file. All monthly subscriptions are renewed at the subscription level and Fees in effect at the time the then-current subscription term ends provided that if the Fee for your renewal subscription Service increases, we will notify you at your designated email address prior to renewal so that you have an opportunity to elect not to renew. You may cancel the subscription at any time by contacting us at support@artbrain.co

If you upgrade the subscription Service to which you elected to subscribe during the term of such subscription Service, and you elect to apply the value of your existing lower-level subscription, then your credit card will be charged for the difference between the full amount of your new Subscription Service which shall be activated on the date of the change and the pro-rata refund for the remainder of the term of the original subscription Service. Any time on the lower value subscription that resulted from a promotion or coupon may not be applied to a higher value subscription and is always used last (at the end of the subscription period). For example, if you purchase a 12-month Basic service subscription using a coupon that provides one month for free, then there will be no remaining value to apply towards an upgrade to Standard level subscription after 11 months.

You release Artbrain from all liabilities and claims of loss resulting from any error or discrepancy that is not reported to Artbrain in writing within sixty (60) days of its first appearance on an invoice or credit card statement.
