3. SUBSCRIPTION FEES; TAXES

3.1. Subscription Fees.

The prices, features, and options for the Services depend on the Subscription Plan and the Subscription Term selected as well as any changes instigated by Customer. Missive does not represent or warrant that a particular Subscription Plan or Subscription Term will be offered indefinitely and, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable laws, reserves the right to change the prices for or alter the features and options in a particular Subscription Plan without prior notice.

3.2. Billing Cycle.

The amount charged on the next billing cycle will be automatically updated to reflect any changes to the subscription, including Users’ subscriptions, Add-ons, upgrades or downgrades. For an annual Subscription Term, adding Users’ subscriptions, subscription upgrades, Add-ons and changes to Subscription Plan will trigger prorated charges in the current billing cycle. Subscription changes, including downgrades, may result in loss of access to Content, features, or an increase or reduction in the amount of available capacity for Content provided by the Services.

3.3. Money Back Guarantee.

3.3 Money Back Guarantee. If Customer is not satisfied with the Services for any reason, and the Subscription Plan is on a monthly Subscription Term, Customer may cancel the Subscription Plan within thirty (30) days of the Account's activation for a full refund of the Subscription Fees paid to Missive.

3.4. No Refund and Cancellation.

Except as expressly provided in these Terms and Conditions, no refunds or credits will be issued for partial periods of service, for upgrade/downgrade, or for periods unused with an active subscription, including, but not limited to, instances involving the removal of a User or the termination of a Subscription Plan before the expiry of the Subscription Period. Customer can cancel its Subscription Plan at any time, and you will continue to have access to the Services through the end of the Customer’s billing cycle.

3.5. Automatic Payment Renewal.

The Subscription Fees are payable by credit card through a valid credit card. Customer hereby authorize Missive to charge its credit card for all fees payable on a recurring basis in accordance with these Terms and Conditions. Recurring Services will automatically renew at the then-current Subscription Fees unless the Services are downgraded to a free Subscription Plan, if applicable, or canceled or terminated in accordance with these Terms and Conditions. Customer further authorizes Missive to use any payment service provider, such as Stripe, for the sole purpose of processing payments made pursuant to these Terms and Conditions.

3.6. Inaccurate or Incomplete Payment.

If Customer payment information is not accurate, current and complete, Customer can update its payment information by going to the “Billing” page. If a payment is not successfully settled, due to expiration, insufficient funds, or otherwise, and Customer Account is not canceled, we may suspend your access to the Services until we have successfully charged a valid credit card. For greater certainty, any unsuccessful payment may result in the cancellation of the Customer Account in accordance with Section 9.2.

3.7. Fees Changes.

Fees changes will take effect at the start of the next Subscription Term following the date of the fees change. Subject to applicable law, by continuing to use the Services after the fees change takes effect, Customer will have accepted the new fees. If Customer does not agree to a fees change, it can reject the change by unsubscribing from the applicable Subscription Plan prior to the fees change going into effect.

3.8. Tax Changes.

All fees published in the Services are exclusive of all taxes, levies, or duties imposed by governmental authorities. Missive may collect taxes on behalf of governmental authorities in some jurisdictions. You will be solely responsible to pay any and all sales, use, value-added and other taxes, duties, and assessments (except taxes that may apply on Missive’s net income) now or hereafter claimed or imposed by any governmental authority associated with your use of the Services. Tax rates, if any, are based on the rates applicable at the time of the Customer billing cycle.
