Subscriptions

Some parts of the Service may, at the sole discretion of the Company, be billed on a subscription basis (“Subscription(s)”). You will be charged in advance on a recurring and periodic basis (“Billing Cycle”). Billing cycles are set either on a monthly or annual basis, depending on the type of subscription plan you select when purchasing a Subscription.

At the end of each Billing Cycle, your Subscription will automatically renew under the same conditions unless you or we cancel it. You may cancel your Subscription renewal either through your online account management page or by contacting our customer support team.

A valid payment method, including credit card or PayPal, is required to process the payment for your Subscription. You shall provide us with accurate and complete billing information including full name, address, state, zip code, telephone number, and a valid payment method information. By submitting such payment information, you automatically authorize COMPANY to charge all Subscription fees incurred through your account to any third-party payment processors.

Should automatic billing fail to occur for any reason, we will issue an electronic invoice indicating that you must proceed manually, within a specific deadline, with the full payment corresponding to the billing period as stated on the invoice.

You can access the specific details of your Subscription, including Subscription duration, price, and end date of your free trial period through your online account management page on the Service.

You may cancel your Subscription at any time, and you will continue to have access to the Service through the end of your monthly billing period. To cancel, access your online account management page and follow the instructions for cancellation. If you cancel your Subscription, your account will automatically close at the end of your current billing period. If you signed up for the Service using a third party as a Payment Method, and wish to cancel your Subscription at any time, including during your free trial, you may need to do so through such third party.

Free Trial

We may, at our sole discretion, offer a Subscription with a free trial for a limited period (“Free Trial”).

You may be required to enter your billing information to sign up for the Free Trial.

If you do enter your billing information when signing up for the Free Trial, you will not be charged by us until the Free Trial has expired. On the last day of the Free Trial period, unless you canceled your Subscription, you will be automatically charged the applicable Subscription fees for the type of Subscription you have selected.

At any time and without notice, we reserve the right to (i) modify the terms and conditions of the Free Trial offer, or (ii) cancel such Free Trial offer.

Fee Changes

We, in our sole discretion and at any time, may modify the Subscription fees for the Subscriptions. Any Subscription fee change will become effective at the end of the then-current Billing Cycle.

We will provide you with reasonable prior notice of any change in Subscription fees to allow you to terminate your Subscription before such change becomes effective.

Your continued use of the Service after the Subscription fee change goes into effect constitutes your agreement to pay the modified Subscription fee amount.

Refunds

Except when required by law, all payments to Turning Point Paralegal Consulting, LLC are non-refundable.

Collections

You agree that in the event we are unable to collect the fees you owe us for the products or Services purchased, we may take any other steps we deem necessary to collect such fees from you.
