Additional Terms for Members and Purchasers of Digital Products

The following is an additional set of terms that apply only to those who choose to become Members or who purchase a Digital Product. These terms are in addition to the Conditions of Use of Site above and nothing in these terms overrides or replaces any of the above conditions.

Your Obligation to Pay

In order to become a Member or purchase a Digital Product, You must pay a fee and taxes where applicable. For more information visit, prices and membership. The purchase prices for Digital Products will be clearly stated at the time of purchase. You may pay for Your purchases by credit card or PayPal. The Company does not accept cheques or money orders

If You choose to pay by PayPal, Your membership will be activated after the Company receives payment from PayPal. The Company will not be liable for any additional fees resulting directly or indirectly from charges to Your PayPal account.

If You pay by credit or debit card, please be aware that the Company will send a small test transaction through Your credit or debit card account to make sure that the account You have given is valid. This test transaction may occur before any applicable free trial is over, or before Your membership has expired. This test transaction is not a charge, and will fall off Your account in approximately 72 hours - it is just a way to confirm that Your payment method is valid.

Automatic Renewal

If You choose to pay by credit or debit card, the Company offers You the opportunity to auto-renew. If You choose to auto-renew, at the end of the current membership period the Company will charge Your card the then-current price for another period of membership.
