It is the Customer’s obligation to review all periodic charges for accuracy. Upon entering this Agreement, You choose to pay by direct charge to a credit or debit card and receive an electronic receipt for each transaction processed by BUILDaSTORE. If You choose to pay by credit or debit card, You thereby authorize BUILDaSTORE to charge your credit or debit card to pay for any charges that may be attributed to Your use of the Services. Upon completion of sign up for the Service, BUILDaSTORE will store your card details in a secured environment on your behalf using the Recurring Billing technology. Recurring Billing is a payment technology that allows BUILDaSTORE to automatically charge You a pre-authorized amount on a regular basis at a scheduled billing cycle. Depending on your location, BUILDaSTORE may also create a BUILDaSTORE Payments account on your behalf.

You acknowledge that Recurring Billing technology and/or BUILDaSTORE Payments will be your default means of making payment (s) and that it is your sole responsibility as the Store Owner to activate and maintain these accounts. If you do not wish to keep either of the payment accounts active, it is your responsibility to deactivate them.

Failure of the rightful owner of said site, store and/or account to timely pay in full all of said amounts shall be deemed a breach of these Terms and shall subject the account to immediate termination.

All charges must be paid in advance according to the then current prices applicable to the Services. All sales are final and BUILDaSTORE offers no partial or full refunds of any kind on any purchase unless otherwise expressly noted, even if your Services are suspended, terminated or transferred before the end of the Services.

You must notify BUILDaSTORE of any changes to your card account (including, without limitation, applicable account number or cancellation or expiration of the account), your billing address, or any information that may prohibit BUILDaSTORE from charging your account.

2.8.3 Billing Policies and Cycles

Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by BUILDaSTORE, we offer billing via credit card or debit card charge only. All initial fees must be paid prior to service setup. These fees may include service setup fees and first period’s service charge. BUILDaSTORE provides customers several billing cycles from which to choose when signing up for service, including, but not limited to (a) monthly billing, (b) quarterly billing, and (c) annual billing. BUILDaSTORE will bill Customer, in advance, on a recurring basis according to the billing cycle selected by the Customer. The Customer may change the billing cycle using the online control panel at any time prior to the next billing period. The Customer understands that BUILDaSTORE has no obligation to refund any prepayment made by the Customer should the customer choose to change the billing cycle after a payment has been made. Our billing cycle begins on the day we set up your account. All Services will automatically renew for successive same duration terms unless You provide notice to BUILDaSTORE of your intent not to renew at least 30 days prior to the expiration of a term. All fees charged for additional Services purchased during the term of a plan and any additional fees and expenses incurred during such term shall be billed and paid in accordance with these Terms.

Note: All billing correspondence (invoices, notifications, etc.) is communicated via email. It is crucial that You maintain a current email address with us.

2.8.4 Disputes

Failure to dispute a charge within three (3) months following such charge shall constitute Customer’s agreement that all charges are valid and Customer agrees to waive any claims it may have had regarding such charge.

2.8.5 Cancellation

To ensure that You are not billed for another period of service, You must cancel your account no later than 10 days before your billing cycle due date.

Taxes. All fees charged by BUILDaSTORE for the Services are exclusive of all taxes, VAT and similar fees now in force or enacted in the future imposed on the transaction and/or the delivery of Services, all of which Customer will be responsible for and will pay in full, except for taxes based on BUILDaSTORE’s net income.
