You may cancel your subscription from time to time as provided on the Website. We may refuse to renew any subscription.

Unless otherwise agreed to in writing, If you select a Service subject to a recurring monthly subscription fee for use of the Services (the “Subscription Fee”), notwithstanding any then-applicable payment arrangement, you agree to pay the Subscription Fee and any volume-based or consumption-based charges applicable to the Services that you selected. Such Subscription Fees may vary depending upon the subscription plan that you select. Your billing will be provided by Company or its trusted third-party partners. The Subscription Fee will be billed within thirty (30) days after you establish your Company account and on an ongoing regular annual basis unless you cancel your subscription. Please note that billing cycles may vary. Note that the timing of your billing may change (i.e., in the event of a problem with your Payment Method, such as an expired credit card). You should confirm the applicable billing policies prior to establishing your subscription. Current Subscription Fees associated with the Website and Services can be found here at https://coachestoolchest.com/subscribe/.

If at any time Company is unable to charge your Payment Method for the Subscription Fee due to insufficient funds, expired or invalid account details, or otherwise, you remain responsible for the cost of such Subscription Fee. A change in your Payment Method may result in changes to your prior billing cycle. It is your responsibility to update and maintain the Payment Method associated with your Subscription Fee. In the event your Payment Method is unable to cover the Subscription Fee, Company reserves the right to suspend your access to the Website and Services until such time as the payment method has been updated and the Subscription Fee is duly paid.

You will remain liable for all such amounts and all costs incurred in connection with the collection of any unpaid amount, including, without limitation, bank overdraft fees, collection agency fees, reasonable attorneys’ fees, and litigation and/or arbitration costs.

All information that you provide to register with Company, including, without limitation, your Payment Method, is subject to Company’s Privacy Policy and these Terms. We may use a third-party payment service to charge your Payment Method. By submitting your information relating to Payment Method, you grant Company the right to store and process your information with the third-party payment service, which may change from to time. You agree that Company will not be responsible for any failures of the third party to adequately protect such information. You acknowledge that we may charge (or use a third-party payment service to charge) your Payment Method for any applicable fees associated with your account or other amounts owing to Company in connection with your use or misuse of the Services or Website. Without limiting the foregoing, if any payment or transfer you make from your account is returned unpaid, you authorize Company (or a third-party payment service) to make a one-time electronic fund transfer from your Payment Method to collect an amount equal to the fee charged for such return.

YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE TIMELY PAYMENT OF ANY FEES AND FOR PROVIDING COMPANY WITH A VALID PAYMENT METHOD FOR PAYMENT OF ALL FEES THROUGH ONE OF THE METHODS THAT WE LIST ON OUR WEBSITE FROM TIME TO TIME.
