10. Subscription Terms, Fees and Payments; Automatic Renewal & Cancellation.
(a) Billing Terms Applicable to Both StageAgent.com and StageAgent.org. The following payment terms apply to all subscriptions offered and sold by StageAgent.com and StageAgent.org:
** (i) Payment & Billing.** When you initially subscribe to the Paid Services, your credit or debit card will be charged immediately for the initial term of the subscription at the then-current fee for the applicable subscription period.
You will be charged in advance for the renewal term of the subscription service (or initial term, in the case of a renewal following the expiration of an applicable free trial) on your applicable billing date (the "Billing Date"), which will be the corresponding monthly, quarterly or annual anniversary of the activation date of your subscription. If, however, the activation date of your subscription (or, as applicable, your free trial) is on the 29th, 30th or 31st day of a month, and your Billing Date does not exist in a particular month because there are fewer than thirty-one (31) days in the month payment is due, your Billing Date for that particular renewal (or initial term, in the case of a renewal following the expiration of an applicable free trial) will be on the last day of the month in which your Billing Date would otherwise be. Each charge on the applicable Billing Date applies to the subscription period immediately following the Billing Date (e.g., a charge for a monthly subscription applies to the month immediately following the Billing Date). You understand that any applicable sales or use taxes will be payable by you, and may be included in each periodic statement.
StageAgent may, in its sole discretion, suspend access to your account or deactivate your account without notice to you if StageAgent is unable to process your payment or if payment is past due, regardless of the amount. You agree to pay any outstanding balance in full within thirty (30) days of cancellation or termination of your subscription. You may update any of your billing information (including a change to your desired billing payment method) through your account settings on StageAgent.com or StageAgent.org.
All fees and charges incurred in connection with your user name(s) and password(s) will be billed to the credit or debit card you designate during the registration process. If you want to designate a different credit or debit card or there is a change in your credit or debit card validity or expiration date, you must update your information through your account settings on StageAgent.com or StageAgent.org.
(ii) Notice of Automatic Renewal. All of the subscriptions offered through the Sites renew automatically. This means that once you become a subscriber, your subscription will automatically renew and your credit or debit card will be charged based on the subscription program (annually, quarterly, or monthly) you have chosen unless you opt out or cancel by following the instructions in these Terms of Use. By subscribing to the Paid Services, you authorize StageAgent to charge the applicable recurring subscription fees to your credit or debit card.
BY COMPLETING THE ENROLLMENT PROCESS, YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT UNLESS AND UNTIL YOU CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION TO THE PAID SERVICES:
(iii) Unauthorized Charges. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU, AND NOT STAGEAGENT, ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING ANY AMOUNTS BILLED TO YOUR CREDIT OR DEBIT CARD BY A THIRD PARTY WHICH WERE NOT AUTHORIZED BY YOU.
(iv) Billing Discrepancies. Unless you notify StageAgent of any discrepancies within sixty (60) days after they first appear on your payment statement, they will be deemed accepted by you and you release StageAgent from all liabilities and claims of loss resulting from any such error or discrepancy.
(b) Additional Billing Terms Applicable to StageAgent.com Subscriptions. The following terms apply to subscriptions offered through StageAgent.com:
(i) Fees Subject to Change. From time to time, StageAgent may change the fees and charges then in effect by giving you notice prior to the changes going into effect. StageAgent will also post current fees online at https://stageagent.com/signup.
(ii) Cancellations. You may cancel your paid subscription on StageAgent.com at any time through your account settings page. Cancelling via your account settings will stop all future renewal charges and you will retain access to Paid Services until your subscription expires. Upon cancellation via your account settings, you should receive an email confirming your subscription cancellation. If you do not receive an email confirming your subscription cancellation, please email us at info@stageagent.com to ensure that your cancellation has been successfully processed. You may also simply email your cancellation request to info@stageagent.com. For StageAgent.org subscriptions, see section C below for additional billing terms.
(iii) Refund Requests. Monthly subscriptions are not eligible for a refund during the billing month in which the cancellation request is submitted, but can be cancelled to prevent additional future monthly charges. For quarterly and yearly subscriptions you may cancel prior to renewal to prevent future renewal charges and you may also email a request to info@stageagent.com to cancel during the first five (5) days after renewal to be eligible for a full refund on the renewal payment. If the cancellation occurs after the cancellation window, or if the charge was for a monthly subscription renewal, you will not receive a refund. If you cancel your subscription but are not eligible for a refund, you will retain access to StageAgent.com until your subscription expires.
(c) Additional Billing Terms Applicable to StageAgent.org Subscriptions. The following terms apply to subscriptions offered through StageAgent.org:
(i) Free trials; Automatic Renewals. In some cases, we might offer a free trial to teachers using StageAgent for Schools on StageAgent.org. If you are a teacher who has been granted a free trial, you will be asked to authorize, and by accepting these Terms of Use, you hereby expressly authorize StageAgent to charge the applicable recurring subscription fees to your credit or debit card upon the expiration of the free trial. After the free trial is complete, you will be charged at the rate and schedule selected when you enrolled in the trial. Teachers using StageAgent.org may cancel their account online through the subscription settings at any time during the free trial period and incur no charge. Unless you notify StageAgent of your decision to terminate your subscription or, as applicable, your free trial, your subscription will automatically renew at the end of each subscription term or free trial (if applicable) at the then-current fee.
(ii) Cancellations. You may cancel your subscription in accordance with the terms of your institution’s license agreement or by contacting info@stageagent.com.
(iii) Refund Requests. Refund requests may be made by filing a customer support ticket at https://help.stageagent.org, or by emailing info@stageagent.com. Please include the full name and email address associated with the account. Your request must be received by end of business (5:00 p.m. Pacific Time) on the appropriate day as described above, or earlier. All refunds will be given to the original credit or debit card on which the purchase was made. Please allow a reasonable time for the refund to reach you or be charged back to your account.
