6. BILLING & CANCELATION
Billing Cycle. The license fee for the sermon.net service and any other charges you may incur in connection with your use
of the service, such as taxes and possible transaction fees, will be
charged to your Payment Method on the specific payment date indicated on
the "Billing" page. The length of your billing cycle will depend on the
type of subscription that you choose when you signed up for the
service. Membership fees are fully earned upon payment. In some cases
your payment date may change, for example if your Payment Method has not
successfully settled, when you change your subscription plan or if your
paid membership began on a day not contained in a given month. Visit
the sermon.net website and click on the "Billing" tab link on the "Account" page to
see your next payment date. We may authorize your Payment Method in
anticipation of membership or service-related charges through various
methods, including authorizing it up to approximately one month of
service as soon as you register. If you signed up for sermon.net using your account with a third party as a Payment Method, you can find the billing information about your sermon.net membership by visiting your account with the applicable third party.
Payment Methods: To use the sermon.net service you must provide one or more Payment Methods. You authorize us
to charge any Payment Method associated to your account in case your
primary Payment Method is declined or no longer available to us for
payment of your subscription fee. You remain responsible for any
uncollected amounts. If a payment is not successfully settled, due to
expiration, insufficient funds, or otherwise, and you do not cancel your
account, we may suspend your access to the service until we have
successfully charged a valid Payment Method. For some Payment Methods,
the issuer may charge you certain fees, such as foreign transaction fees
or other fees relating to the processing of your Payment Method. Check
with your Payment Method service provider for details.
Updating
your Payment Methods: You can update your Payment Methods by going to
the "Account" page and then "Billing" tab. We may also update your
Payment Methods using information provided by the payment service
providers. Following any update, you authorize us to continue to charge
the applicable Payment Method(s).
Cancellation: You can cancel your sermon.net membership at any time, and you will continue to have access to the sermon.net service through the end of your billing period. To cancel, go to the "Account" page on our sermon.net website and follow the instructions for cancellation. If you cancel
your membership, your account will automatically close at the end of
your current billing period. If you signed up for sermon.net using your account with a third party as a Payment Method and wish to cancel your sermon.net membership, you may need to do so through that third party, for example
by visiting your account with the applicable third party and turning
off auto-renew, or unsubscribing from the sermon.net service through that third party.
Changes to the Price and Subscription Plans: We may change our
subscription plans and the price of our service from time to time;
however, any price changes or changes to your subscription plans will
apply no earlier than 30 days following notice to you. If you do not
wish to accept the price change or change to your subscription plan, you
can cancel your subscription before the change takes effect.
No Refunds: Payments are nonrefundable and there are no refunds or
credits for partially used membership periods. Following any
cancellation, however, you will continue to have access to the service
through the end of your current billing period. At any time, and for any
reason, we may provide a refund, discount, or other consideration to
some or all of our members ("credits"). The amount and form of such
credits, and the decision to provide them, are at our sole and absolute
discretion. The provision of credits in one instance does not entitle
you to credits in the future for similar instances, nor does it obligate
us to provide credits in the future under any circumstance.
