• General. If you purchase any feature of the Service that we may offer from time to time for a fee (the “Paid Service”), including, but not limited to, a paid subscription to our Service or any paid in-service feature (if any), you authorize Afrosmeet and our designated payment processors to store your payment information and other related information. You also agree to pay the applicable fees for the Paid Service (including, without limitation, periodic fees for ongoing subscriptions (the “Subscription Fees”) as set forth on the Service) when due, plus any related taxes (including, without limitation, sales and use taxes, duties, or other governmental taxes or fees) and to reimburse us for all collection costs and interest for any overdue amounts. All fees and charges are non-refundable, and there are no refunds or credits for partially used Paid Services (including partially used subscription periods) except (i) as expressly stated in this Agreement, (ii) as otherwise required by applicable law, and (iii) at Afrosmeet’s sole and absolute discretion. You can also find more relevant information about our refund approaches for specific types of Paid Services in the respective sections herein. Fees for the Paid Service may be payable in advance, in arrears, per usage, or as otherwise described when you purchase the Paid Service. All prices for Paid Services are subject to change without notice (unless otherwise stated in this Section 6).

• Payment Method. Afrosmeet may, from time to time, offer various payment methods, including, without limitation, payment by credit card, debit card, check, certain mobile payment providers, or using PayPal. You authorize Afrosmeet to charge you for the Paid Service by the payment method(s) you select when purchasing the Paid Service (the “Payment Method”) and agree to make payment using such Payment Method(s) (we may, from time to time, receive and use updated Payment Method information provided by you or that financial institutions or payment processors may provide to us to update your Payment Method information, such as updated expiration dates or account numbers). Certain Payment Methods, such as credit and debit cards, may involve agreements between you and the financial institution, credit card issuer, or another provider of the Payment Methods you have chosen (the “Payment Method Provider”). If we do not receive payment from your Payment Method Provider, you agree to pay all amounts due upon demand from us directly. Your non-termination or continued use of the Paid Service reaffirms that we are authorized to charge your Payment Method.

• The Paid Service may also be purchased through your accounts with certain third parties, such as your Apple iTunes account, Google Play account, or Amazon account (a “Third-Party Account”). If you purchase a Paid Service through a Third-Party Account, the billing for that Paid Service will appear through your Third-Party Account. You should review the terms and conditions of the Third-Party Account, which we do not control.

• Automatic Subscription Renewal. IF YOU PAY FOR A SUBSCRIPTION BY CREDIT OR DEBIT CARD (OR OTHER PAYMENT METHOD IDENTIFIED ON OUR SERVICE OR A SOCIAL NETWORK SITE AS INVOLVING AUTOMATIC SUBSCRIPTION RENEWAL) AND YOU DO NOT CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 6(e) BELOW BEFORE THE END OF THE SUBSCRIPTION TERM, YOUR SUBSCRIPTION WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY RENEWED AT THE END OF EACH TERM FOR SUCCESSIVE RENEWAL PERIODS OF THE SAME DURATION AS THE SUBSCRIPTION TERM ORIGINALLY SELECTED (FOR EXAMPLE, UNLESS CANCELED, A ONE-MONTH SUBSCRIPTION WILL AUTOMATICALLY RENEW ON A MONTHLY BASIS, AND A SIX-MONTH SUBSCRIPTION WILL AUTOMATICALLY RENEW ON A SIX-MONTH BASIS). UNLESS OTHERWISE INDICATED IN ANY APPLICABLE ADDITIONAL TERMS OR COMMUNICATIONS WE SEND TO YOUR REGISTERED EMAIL ADDRESS, SUCH RENEWAL WILL BE AT THE SAME SUBSCRIPTION FEE AS WHEN YOU INITIALLY SUBSCRIBED, PLUS ANY APPLICABLE TAXES, UNLESS WE NOTIFY YOU AT LEAST 10 DAYS PRIOR TO THE END OF YOUR CURRENT TERM THAT THE SUBSCRIPTION FEE WILL INCREASE. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOUR PAYMENT METHOD WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY CHARGED FOR SUCH SUBSCRIPTION FEES, PLUS ANY APPLICABLE TAXES, UPON EACH SUCH AUTOMATIC RENEWAL.

YOU WILL NOT BE ENTITLED TO A PRORATED REFUND OF ANY PORTION OF THE SUBSCRIPTION FEES PAID FOR THE THEN-CURRENT SUBSCRIPTION TERM, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN SECTION 20 OF THIS AGREEMENT OR AS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

• From time to time, we may offer free trials or other promotions. For example, we may offer promotions that provide subscriber-level access to the Service for a certain period.

• Current Information Required. You agree to provide current, complete, and accurate billing information and promptly update any such information (such as changes to your billing address, credit card number, or credit card expiration date) as necessary for the processing of all payments due to Afrosmeet. You agree to promptly notify Afrosmeet if your payment method is canceled (e.g., due to loss or theft) or if you become aware of any potential security breach related to your payment method. If you fail to provide any of the above information, you acknowledge that your current Payment Method may continue to be charged for the Paid Service, and you remain responsible for all such charges.

• Authorized Amount Change. If the total amount to be charged varies from the amount you authorized when purchasing a Paid Service (other than due to the imposition or change of tax amounts, including, without limitation, sales and use taxes, duties, or other governmental taxes or fees), Afrosmeet will notify you of the amount to be charged and the date of the charge at least 10 days before the scheduled transaction date. If you do not cancel your Paid Service before the increased price takes effect, you agree to pay the increased price for the Paid Service. You agree that Afrosmeet may accumulate charges incurred and submit them as one or more aggregate charges during or at the end of each billing cycle.
