Members will be billed every month in advance based on the service level selected. Click Here to view available service levels and pricing. Your monthly billing cycle will be based on the date you sign up for your first paid service. If you change your service level selection during a month, any increase in fees will be prorated by the number of days left in your monthly billing cycle. No refunds will be given if the Service is reduced, cancelled, revoked or terminated prior to month end. Billing shall occur automatically based on the credit card information that the member provides in the member’s personal account. If the member’s credit card information is invalid, we will send an e-mail notice to the member requesting that valid credit card information be supplied. If valid credit card information is not provided within 5 business days, the member’s account will be suspended, meaning that the member will not have access to view Images in the member’s account, the member’s other rights to use the Site shall be suspended and no new Images will be captured until the member’s account is fully paid. If valid credit card information is not provided within 15 days of our notice requesting valid credit card information, we may delete such member’s Images from our system.
If you purchase archival services, you will be billed in $5.00 intervals. Your account balance will be adjusted until your credit balance is $0.25, at which time you will automatically be billed an additional $5.00. Of course, if you notify us that you no longer want to use our archival services, we will stop charging your credit card. If the cost of archiving your Images exceeds $5.00 per month, we will charge an amount equal to the archival service fee. No refunds for unused archival fees will be given.
You will be notified at least one billing cycle in advance of any increase to our fees. If you do not agree to the increase in fees, your account will be suspended and your Images will be deleted once your archival service credit balance, if any, reaches $0.00.
Credit card information can be updated or changed by signing in, clicking on the “My account” link on the home page of the Site and then making whatever changes need to be made.
Depending on a member’s agreement with his or her internet service provider, some internet service providers may charge for bandwidth used. We assume no responsibility for any such charges.
Members are billed monthly in advance for Service. Your monthly billing date will be the date you first sign up for paid Service. There are no refunds if Service is terminated, suspended or cancelled for any reason prior to the end of any given month. There are no refunds if the Site is down or if for any reason your Images were not stored or were deleted, though in the event the Site is unavailable for the majority of your monthly billing cycle, an adjustment to your account will be made. Any change to the service level selected or cancellation of Service may take up to 48 hours to process. You will be notified at least one billing cycle in advance of any increase to our fees. If you do not agree to the increase in fees, your account will be suspended and your Images will be deleted once your archival service credit balance, if any, reaches $0.00.
