PAYMENT

When you purchase the membership on our site, you agree to provide a valid instrument to make a payment. Pay attention to the details of the transaction as your total price may include taxes, fees, and other costs, all of which you are responsible for.

When you provide a payment instrument, you confirm that you are permitted to use that to make a payment. You authorize us and our designated payment processor to charge the full amount to the said instrument. You also authorize us to collect and store that funding instrument, along with other related transaction information, should your package be a recurring subscription.

If you pay by credit or debit card, our third-party service provider, Stripe, may obtain a pre-approval from the issuer of the card for an amount as high as the full price. If you cancel a transaction before completion, this pre-approval may result in those funds not being immediately available to you.

We may cancel any transaction that we believe violates these Terms, or if we believe in doing so may prevent financial loss.

In order to prevent financial loss to you or to us, we may contact your funding instrument issuer, law enforcement, or affected third parties (including other users) and share details of any payments you are associated with if we believe doing so may prevent financial loss or a violation of law.
