Payments
a. TimeZest Subscriptions
Our different subscription plans and pricing information related to access and use of the Services (each, a “Subscription”) on an annual or other periodic basis can be found on our pricing page.
b. Continuous Subscriptions
WHEN CUSTOMER REGISTERS FOR A SUBSCRIPTION, CUSTOMER EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT (A) TIMEZEST (OR OUR THIRD PARTY PAYMENT PROCESSOR) IS AUTHORIZED TO CHARGE CUSTOMER EVERY MONTH FROM THE DATE OF THE ORIGINAL PURCHASE OR OTHER PERIODIC BASIS (AS SELECTED BY CUSTOMER VIA THE SERVICES) FOR CUSTOMER’S SUBSCRIPTION (IN ADDITION TO ANY APPLICABLE TAXES AND OTHER CHARGES) FOR AS LONG AS CUSTOMER’S SUBSCRIPTION CONTINUES, AND (B) CUSTOMER’S SUBSCRIPTION IS CONTINUOUS UNTIL CUSTOMER CANCELS IT OR TIMEZEST SUSPENDS OR STOPS PROVIDING ACCESS TO THE SERVICES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS AGREEMENT.
c. Cancellation
You may cancel your Subscription at any time by logging into your account on the Site and following the instructions to cancel. Your cancellation is effective at the end of the current Subscription term (billing period). Once you cancel your account and Subscription, the Customer Data you have uploaded to the Site or Service will only be available or accessible for a period of up to 30 days. You have the right during this 30 day period to request us to return (or make available for download) or delete your Customer Data. After expiry of this 30 day period we shall delete your Customer Data in any event, subject to and in accordance with the provisions of the DPA. You will remain responsible for all charges (including applicable taxes and other charges) incurred with respect to fees processed prior to the cancellation of your Subscription. We do not provide refunds if you decide to stop using the Service during your current Subscription term. If, however, we selectively terminate your access to the Site or any Service without your breach of these Terms, we may offer you a pro rata refund of prepayments you made to us. Any refunds will be provided via the same payment method originally used for payment.
d. Free or Promotional Trials
From time to time, to the extent legally permitted, TimeZest may offer free or reduced rate promotional trials of certain Subscriptions for specified periods of time without payment or for a reduced promotional price. If TimeZest offers Customer a free or promotional trial, the specific terms of the free or promotional trial will be provided in the marketing materials describing the particular trial, during the online registration process when the code for the trial is entered on the Site.
ONCE THE FREE OR PROMOTIONAL TRIAL ENDS, CUSTOMER AUTHORIZES TIMEZEST (OR OUR THIRD PARTY PAYMENT PROCESSOR) TO BEGIN CHARGING CUSTOMER’S DESIGNATED PAYMENT METHOD ON A RECURRING BASIS FOR CUSTOMER’S SUBSCRIPTION (PLUS ANY APPLICABLE TAXES AND OTHER CHARGES) FOR AS LONG AS THE SUBSCRIPTION CONTINUES, UNLESS CUSTOMER CANCELS THE SUBSCRIPTION PRIOR TO THE END OF THE FREE OR PROMOTIONAL TRIAL OR OTHERWISE CANCELS THE SUBSCRIPTION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS SECTION. INSTRUCTIONS FOR CANCELING CUSTOMER’S SUBSCRIPTION ARE DESCRIBED IN SECTIONS 10(b) AND 10(c) ABOVE.
e. Pricing and Availability
All prices are shown in U.S. dollars and applicable taxes and other charges, if any, are additional. TimeZest reserves the right to adjust prices as TimeZest may determine in its sole discretion, at any time and without notice; provided, however, that if TimeZest changes the amounts or other charges associated with Customer’s Subscription, TimeZest will use reasonable efforts to provide advance notice of such changes in accordance with this Section. TimeZest will not, however, be required to notify Customer of changes in any applicable taxes. The Service, Site and Subscriptions are subject to availability, and we reserve the right to impose quantity limits on any order, to reject all or part of an order, or to discontinue offering certain Services or Subscriptions without prior notice, even if Customer has already placed an order.
f. Payment and Billing Information
By providing a payment method that TimeZest accepts, Customer represents and warrants that Customer is authorized to use the designated payment method and that Customer permits TimeZest (or our third party payment processor) to charge Customer’s payment method for the total amount of Customer’s Subscription or other purchase (including any applicable taxes and other charges). If applicable, Customer agrees to comply with any applicable cardholder agreement. If the payment method cannot be verified, is invalid or is otherwise not acceptable, Customer’s order or Subscription may be suspended or cancelled. Customer must resolve any problem TimeZest encounters in order to proceed with Customer’s order. In the event Customer wants to change or update payment information associated with Customer’s account, Customer can do so by logging into the Services and editing the payment information. Customer acknowledges that the amount billed may vary due to promotional offers, changes to your Subscription or changes in applicable taxes or other charges, and Customer authorizes TimeZest (or our third party payment processor) to charge Customer’s payment method for the corresponding amount. You acknowledge that you are solely responsible for any penalties or fees charged by the designated payment method or payment processor in the event of any chargeback or disputed payment that is not properly disputed under Section 10(i) below.
g. Taxes
Customer is responsible for any sales, duty or other governmental taxes or fees due with respect to Customer’s purchase of a Subscription. TimeZest will collect applicable sales tax if it determines that TimeZest has a duty to collect sales tax. TimeZest will present any taxes that it is required to collect at checkout, but note that actual taxes charged may be adjusted from the amount shown at checkout. Several factors may cause this, such as variances between processor programs and changes in tax rates.
h. Non-payment and late fees
In the event of non-payment, TimeZest will have the right, with or without notice, to suspend or immediately terminate your access to the Service. We may determine whether or not to reinstate your access to the Service upon receipt of payment in full of all sums owed. Any payment not received by TimeZest on or before thirty (30) days following the due date shall automatically be assessed a late payment fee equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum allowed by applicable law; or (ii) the greater of ten (10%) percent of the unpaid amount or $50. Any payment not received by TimeZest on or before thirty (30) days following the due date shall also bear interest from the due date until paid in full at the lesser of one and a half percent (1.5%) per month or the maximum rate allowed by applicable law. If TimeZest is required to use a collection agency or attorney to collect money owed by you, you agree to pay the reasonable cost of collection. These collection costs include, but are not limited to, any collection agency’s fees, reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs.
i. Disputed charges
Subject to applicable law, if you intend to dispute a charge or request a credit, you must contact TimeZest in writing within thirty (30) days of the date on the invoice. You hereby waive any right to dispute a charge or receive a credit for a charge that you do not report within thirty (30) days of the date on the applicable invoice. To dispute an invoice, you must send TimeZest a written itemized description of the specific items you dispute as contained in such invoice. The parties agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to timely resolve billing disputes.

Dispute resolution
Please read the following section carefully because it requires you to arbitrate certain disputes and claims with TimeZest and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from us.
Except for small claims disputes in which you or TimeZest seek to bring an individual action in small claims court located in the county of your billing address or disputes in which you or TimeZest seeks injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of intellectual property, you and TimeZest waive your rights to a jury trial and to have any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms, our Service or Site resolved in court. Instead, all disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms, our Service or Site will be resolved through confidential binding arbitration held in New Castle County, Delaware in accordance with the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (“Rules“) of the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (“JAMS“), which are available on the JAMS website and hereby incorporated by reference. You either acknowledge and agree that you have read and understand the rules of JAMS or waive your opportunity to read the rules of JAMS and any claim that the rules of JAMS are unfair or should not apply for any reason.
You and TimeZest agree that any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms, our Service or Site is personal to you and TimeZest and that any dispute will be resolved solely through individual arbitration and will not be brought as a class arbitration, class action or any other type of representative proceeding.
You and TimeZest agree that these Terms affect interstate commerce and that the enforceability of this Section will be substantively and procedurally governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq. (the “FAA”), to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. As limited by the FAA, these Terms and the JAMS Rules, the arbitrator will have exclusive authority to make all procedural and substantive decisions regarding any dispute and to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court; provided, however, that the arbitrator does not have the authority to conduct a class arbitration or a representative action, which is prohibited by these Terms. The arbitrator may only conduct an individual arbitration and may not consolidate more than one individual’s claims, preside over any type of class or representative proceeding or preside over any proceeding involving more than one individual. If you are an individual, you and TimeZest agree that for any arbitration you initiate, you will pay the filing fee and TimeZest will pay the remaining JAMS fees and costs. You and TimeZest agree that the state or federal courts of the State of Washington and the United States sitting in King County, Washington have exclusive jurisdiction over any appeals and the enforcement of an arbitration award.
ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR OUR SITE OR SERVICE MUST BE FILED WITHIN ONE YEAR AFTER SUCH CLAIM AROSE; OTHERWISE, THE CLAIM IS PERMANENTLY BARRED, WHICH MEANS THAT YOU AND TIMEZEST WILL NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO ASSERT THE CLAIM.
Governing law, jurisdiction and venue
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without reference to its choice of law principles to the contrary. The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. For any action to compel arbitration or enforce an arbitration award or seek injunctive relief pursuant to these Terms, the parties hereby expressly consent to the jurisdiction and venue of the state and/or federal courts in and/or for New Castle County, Delaware, USA, and each party hereby expressly waives any objection to such venue based upon forum non conveniens or otherwise.
Force majeure
Neither party shall be liable for any delay in performing its obligations if such delay is caused by circumstances beyond the party’s reasonable control, including, without limitation, any delay caused by any act or omission of the other party, acts of God, war, terrorism, floods, windstorm, labor disputes, or delay of essential materials or services. The delayed party shall promptly notify the other party of the reasons for and the likely duration of the delay, whereupon an extension of time equal to the period of delay, but not greater than thirty (30) days, shall be granted to the delayed party. If the period of the delay shall exceed thirty (30) days, then the non-delayed party may cancel further performance of the delayed obligation, without any penalty whatsoever. This paragraph shall not apply to any payment obligations.
Term and survival
Your agreement to be bound by these Terms commences with your visiting or using this Site, registering to use or using the Service, or otherwise submitting information through this Site or the Service, and your agreement to be so bound will continue until your right to use this Site and/or the Service is either canceled or terminated. The following provisions will survive cancellation or termination: Sections 1, 7, and 9 through 25.
