• FEES AND PAYMENTS

a)  Full Members of the Service are required to purchase "Credits" in order to use the "paid features" of the Service.  Each time a Full Member uses a "paid feature" of the Service, the Member's account of Credits is debited according to the number of Credits charged to use that "paid feature".

b)  Credits may be purchased using a credit card or PayPal via this web site based on the pricing policy as stated on the Service at the time of purchase.  We reserve the right to change our pricing policy at any time at our sole discretion. We also reserve the right to change the method or manner in which we charge members for Credits, or the method of payment which is acceptable to us, at our sole discretion.

c)  Once we have confirmed receipt of your payment, we will credit your account with the number of Credits purchased. Where we receive payment for an incorrect amount we will credit your account with a pro-rated number of Credits based on the funds received. Credits will be automatically deducted from your account as you use "paid features" of the Service. You can confirm the number of Credits which remain available to you in your account at any time from the Account function of our mobile client software or on this web site.  A Full Member whose account is at zero, remains a Full Member, but cannot access "paid features" until additional Credits are purchased. If your usage of the Service is terminated because of a breach of this Agreement or if it is terminated for any other reason, any unused Credits are automatically and immediately forfeited.

d)  THE PURCHASE OF MINUTES IS NON-REFUNDABLE. Any unused Credits will remain credited to your account but will not be refunded if unused, even if you are no longer using the Service. Credits will only be credited to the account of the Full Member purchasing Credits, and to no one else. Credits may not be transferred from one member of the Service to another member. The cost of Credits purchased by a Full Member is not refundable under any circumstance but can be used by you at any time.

e)  You agree to pay all fees and charges incurred in connection with your membership with the Service (including any applicable taxes) at the rates in effect when the charges were incurred. All fees and charges are non-refundable. We may change the fees and charges in effect for using the Service, or add new fees or charges, by posting new fees and changes on the Service or on this site from time to time. You also are responsible for any fees or charges incurred to access the Service through the telephone system, including but not limited to telephone charges, long distance charges or mobile phone charges. YOU, AND NOT WE, ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING ANY AMOUNTS BILLED TO YOUR CREDIT CARD BY A THIRD PARTY, WHICH WERE NOT AUTHORIZED BY YOU.
