3. Payment terms for BrandChamps customers

The BrandChamp Application is offered as a recurring subscription service. This means that you will be billed on a recurring, periodic basis (each period is called a “billing cycle”). Billing is split into two subscriptions:

1) A billed-in-advance subscription to the BrandChamp Application plans as specified on the BrandChamp website’s plans and pricing page which includes Application features and a number of included BrandChamps for a fixed fee every billing cycle. Billing cycles are typically monthly or annual, depending on what subscription plan you select when purchasing a Subscription. Any upgrade to the core subscription will result in a prorated charge at start of next billing cycle, except when switching from monthly to annual plans or if upgrading an annual plan in which cases you will be billed for the prorated charge immediately in-advance for the newly selected plan. No prorating occurs for downgrades.

2) A monthly, billed-in-arrears, subscription for any additional BrandChamps in your account above the amount included in the core service subscription. The number of additional BrandChamps is calculated daily and increases may trigger charges for an additional minimum number of BrandChamps, as detailed on our plans and pricing page. Changes in the number of additional BrandChamps results in prorated charges at the beginning of next monthly cycle.

Your Subscription will automatically renew at the end of each billing cycle unless you cancel your account through the Application website. Canceling your account will mean immediate loss of access to the BrandChamp Application, data and related services.

Fees paid by you are non-refundable, except as provided in these Terms or when required by law. Downgrading your Service may cause the loss of features or capacity of your account. If you fail to pay, your account may be frozen and inaccessible until payment is made. BrandChamp does not accept any liability for such loss or from loss of access to your account on cancellation or failure to pay.

Unpaid amounts are subject to a finance charge of 5% per month on any outstanding balance, or the maximum permitted by law, whichever is lower, plus all expenses of collection and may result in immediate termination of Service.

All fees are exclusive of all taxes, levies, or duties imposed by taxing authorities, and you shall be responsible for payment of all such taxes, levies, or duties. Where required, BrandChamp will collect those taxes on behalf of taxing authority and remit those taxes to taxing authorities.
