21. Subscription Term, Renewal and Fees Payment
    • Order Form
      Our order form may be completed and placed in various ways, among which, an online form or in-product screens or any other mutually agreed upon offline form delivered by Customer or any of the other Users to our websites, including via mail, email or any other electronic or physical delivery mechanism (the “Order Form”). Such Order Form will list, at the least, the Service ordered, subscription plan, term and the associated fees.
    • Subscription Term
      • The Service is provided on a subscription basis for the term specified in your Order Form, in accordance with the respective subscription plan purchased under such Order Form (the “Subscription Term” and the “Subscription Plan”, respectively, and collectively the “Subscription”).

22. Subscription Fees
    • In consideration for the provision of the Service (except for Trial Service),  Customer shall pay us the applicable fees per the purchased Subscription, as set forth in the applicable Order Form (the “Subscription Fees”). Unless indicated otherwise, Subscription Fees are stated in Australian dollars. Customer hereby authorises us, either directly or through our payment processing service or our affiliates, to charge such Subscription Fees via Customer’s selected payment method, upon due date. Unless expressly set forth herein, the Subscription Fees are non-cancellable and non-refundable. We reserve the right to change the Subscription Fees at any time, upon notice to Customer if such change may affect Customer’s existing subscriptions upon renewal. In the event of failure to collect the Fees owed by Customer, we may, at our sole discretion (but shall not be obligated to) retry to collect at a later time, and/or suspend or cancel the Account, without notice.
23. Taxes
    • The Subscription Fees are exclusive of any and all taxes (including without limitation, value added tax, sales tax, use tax, excise, goods and services tax, etc.), levies, or duties, which may be  imposed in respect of these Terms and the purchase or sale, of the Service hereunder (the “Taxes”),  except for Taxes imposed on our income. If Customer is located in a jurisdiction which requires  Customer to deduct or withhold Taxes or other amounts from any amounts due to us, please notify us,  in writing, promptly and we shall join efforts to avoid any such Tax withholding, provided, however, that in any case, Customer shall bear the sole responsibility and liability to pay such Tax and such Tax should  be deemed as being added on top of the Subscription Fees, payable by Customer.
24. Subscription Upgrade
    • During the Subscription Term, Customer may upgrade its Subscription Plan by either: (i) adding Authorised Users; (ii) upgrading to a higher type of Subscription Plan; (iii)  adding add-on features and functionalities; and/or (iv) upgrading to a longer Subscription Term  (collectively, “Subscription Upgrades”). Some Subscription Upgrades or other changes may be considered as a new purchase, hence will restart the Subscription Term and some won’t, as indicated within the Service and/or the Order Form. Upon a Subscription Upgrade, Customer will be billed for the applicable increased amount of Subscription Fees, at our then-current rates (unless indicated otherwise  in an Order Form), either: (1) prorated for the remainder of the then-current Subscription Term, or (2) whenever the Subscription Term is being restarted due to the Subscription Upgrade, then the  Subscription Fees already paid by Customer will be reduced from the new upgraded Subscription Fees,  and the difference shall be due and payable by Customer upon the date on which the Subscription  Upgrade was made.

 

25. Adding Users
    • Customer Accounts may invite other persons to be added to your Account as Users (collectively, “Users Increase”).  For further information on these options and how to disable them, visit our help centre. Unless agreed otherwise in an Order Form, any changes to the number of Users within a certain Account, shall be billed  on a prorated basis for the remainder of the then-current Subscription Term. We will bill Customer, either upon the Users Increase or at the end of the applicable month, as communicated to Customer.
26. Excessive Usage
    • We shall have the right, including without limitation where we, at our sole  discretion, believe that Customer and/or any of its Users, have misused the Service or otherwise use  the Service in an excessive manner compared to the anticipated standard use (at our sole discretion),  to offer the Subscription in different pricing and/or impose additional restrictions as for the upload,  storage, download and use of the Service, including, without limitation, restrictions on Third Party  Services, network traffic and bandwidth, size and/or length of content, quality and/or format of content,  sources of content, volume of download time, etc.
27. Billing
    • As part of registering, or submitting billing information, to the Service, Customer agrees to provide us with updated, accurate and complete billing information, and Customer authorises us (either  directly or through our affiliates, including Mobiddiction.com/Mobiconnect.net. or other third parties) to charge, request and collect  payment (or otherwise charge, refund or take any other billing actions) from Customer’s payment  method or designated banking account, and to make any inquiries that we (or our affiliates and/or third-parties acting on our behalf) may consider necessary to  validate Customer’s designated payment account or financial information, in order to ensure prompt  payment, including for the purpose of receiving updated payment details from Customer’s credit card company or banking account (e.g., updated expiry date or card number as may be provided to us by  Customer’s credit card company).
28. Subscription Auto-Renewal
    • In order to ensure that Customer will not experience any interruption or loss of services, Customer’s Subscription includes an automatic renewal option by default, according to which, unless Customer disables the auto-renewal option or cancels its Subscription prior to its expiration, the Subscription will automatically renew upon the end of the then applicable Subscription
    • The Term, for a renewal period equal in time to the original Subscription Term (excluding extended periods) and, unless otherwise notified to Customer, at the same price (subject to applicable Tax changes and excluding any discount or other promotional offer provided for the first Subscription Term). Accordingly, unless either Customer or we cancel the Subscription prior to its expiration, we will attempt to automatically charge Customer the applicable Subscription Fees upon or immediately prior to the expiration of the then applicable Subscription Term. If Customer wishes to avoid such auto-renewal, Customer shall cancel its Subscription, prior to its expiration, at any time through the Account settings or by contacting us. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms, in case a Customer cancels its Subscription, during a Subscription Term, the Subscription will not renew for an additional period, but Customer will not be refunded or credited for any unused period within the Subscription Term.
29. Discounts and Promotions
    • Unless expressly stated otherwise in a separate legally binding agreement, if Customer received a special discount or other promotional offer, Customer acknowledges that upon renewal of its Subscription, Mobiddiction will renew such Subscription, at the full applicable Subscription Fee at the time of renewal.
