ASubscription
iOngoing Subscription
Your TMP subscription, which may start with a promotional offer, will continue month-to-month unless and until you cancel your membership or we terminate it. You must have internet access and provide us with a current, valid, accepted method of payment which may be updated from time to time (“Payment Method”) to use the Textmaxx Pro Services. We will bill the monthly membership fee to your Payment Method in advance of the following month (“Billing Period”).
iiSubscription Plans
We may offer a number of subscription plans, including special promotional plans or subscriptions with differing conditions and limitations. Any terms which vary from those described in these Terms of Use will be disclosed at sign-up or in other communications made available to you. You can find specific details regarding your subscription with TMP by visiting our website and clicking on the “Login” link. We reserve the right to unilaterally modify, terminate or otherwise amend our subscription plans at any time.
BPromotional Offers
iPromotional Conditions
Your TMP subscription may start with a free trial, free texts, or other incentives. Any free trial period is for one month unless otherwise specified during sign-up. TMP reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to determine eligibility for all promotional offers including, but not limited to, whether these offers may be combined.
iiPromotional Billing
We will begin billing your Payment Method for monthly subscription fees at the end of the free trial period of your membership unless you cancel prior to the end of the trial period. We may authorize your Payment Method for up to one month of Textmaxx Pro Services as soon as you register.
iiiNotification
You will not receive a notice from us that your promotional offer has ended or that the standard terms of your subscription have begun. We will continue to bill your Payment Method on a monthly basis for your subscription and other fees until and unless you cancel according to the terms set forth in this document.
CBilling
iRecurring Billing
By starting your TMP subscription and providing a Payment Method, you authorize us to charge a monthly subscription fee at the then current rate along with any other charges you may incur in connection with your use of the Textmaxx Pro Services. Other charges may include, but are not limited to, setup, training and overage fees. You acknowledge that the amount billed each month may vary and you authorize us to charge your Payment Method for all such amounts.
iiPrice Changes
We reserve the right to adjust pricing for the Textmaxx Pro Services or any ancillary components in any manner and at any time as we may determine in our sole and absolute discretion. Except as otherwise expressly provided for in these Terms of Use, any price changes to your TMP subscription will take effect immediately following email notice to you. For subscribers outside the United States, the subscription fees may be adjusted annually or more frequently as permitted by law in accordance with the inflation index as established by General Price Index Market published by Fundao Getlio Vargas (“IGP-M”) or such other index as may be applicable to the Textmaxx Pro Services.
iiiBilling Cycle
The subscription fee for your Textmaxx Pro Services will be billed immediately upon activation. Your payment will be automatically run monthly until and unless we receive written notice of cancellation 30 days in advance of the Billing Period. Subscription fees are fully earned upon payment. We reserve the right to change the timing of our billing if your Payment Method has not successfully settled. You may visit our website and click on the “View billing details” link on the “Your Account” page to see the commencement date for your next renewal period. We may authorize your Payment Method in anticipation of subscription and other related charges.
ivNo Refunds
PAYMENTS ARE NONREFUNDABLE AND THERE ARE NO CREDITS FOR PARTIALLY USED TEXTING ALLOWANCES. Following any cancellation, you will continue to have access to the Textmaxx Pro Services 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 subscribers (“Credits”). The amount and form of such Credits, and the decision whether or not to provide them, are at our sole discretion. The provision of Credits in one instance does not entitle you to Credits in the future under similar circumstances, nor does it obligate us to provide subsequent Credits to you.
vPayment Methods
If a payment is not successfully settled due to expiration, insufficient funds, or for any other reason, and you do not edit your Payment Method information or cancel your account, you remain responsible for any uncollected amounts and authorize us to continue billing the Payment Method. This may result in a change to your payment billing dates. In addition, your TMP account may be deactivated until you provide an updated Payment Method and your account is brought current. For certain Payment Methods, the card issuer may assess a foreign transaction fee or other charges for which you are solely responsible.
viCancellation
YOU MUST PROVIDE US WITH 30 DAYS WRITTEN NOTICE PRIOR TO THE PAYMENT PERIOD IN ORDER TO AVOID BILLING FOR THE NEXT MONTH’S SUBSCRIPTION FEES. If you cancel your subscription, your account will automatically close at the end of your current billing period. If you signed up for Textmaxx Pro Services using your account with a third party as a Payment Method and wish to cancel your TMP subscription, you may need to do so through such third party utilizing their website methodology. This may include turning off auto-renew or unsubscribing from TMP through that third party.
