Terms and Conditions

TERMS OF SERVICE
1. Fees & Payments Policy
1.1. Fees for our Product. You agree to pay Arise Forums and its subsidiary products any fees for each Product you purchase or use in accordance with the pricing and payment terms presented to you for that Product. We use third-party payment processors (Stripe and PayPal) to bill you through a payment account linked to your Arise Forums account(s). The processing of payments will be subject to the terms, conditions, and privacy policies of the applicable payment processor, in addition to this Agreement. Where applicable, you will be billed using the billing method you select through your account management page. If you have elected to pay the fees by credit card, you represent and warrant that the credit card information you provide is correct and you will promptly notify Arise Forums of any changes to such information. Fees paid by you are non-refundable, except as provided in these Terms or when required by law. Included in your fee may be technical support in respect of the Product, and it is only provided to Arise Forums customers. Arise Forums’ support agents are not trained in custom-coding, and technical support for any custom-coding is the responsibility of the customer. Arise Forums accepts no responsibility to provide such support. Unless otherwise indicated, all fees and other charges are in U.S. dollars, and all payments shall be in U.S. currency. In no event will Arise Forums credit, refund, or reimburse you for a foreign exchange fee charged by your credit card or for any difference in fees due to currency conversion.
1.2. Recurring Subscriptions. Our Product is billed on a subscription basis (“Subscriptions”). This means that you will be billed in advance on a recurring, periodic basis (each period is called a “billing cycle”). Billing cycles are typically monthly or annual, depending on what subscription plan you select when purchasing a Subscription. However, due to the value being delivered upfront, all monthly billing cycles are on an annual term, unless explicitly expressed otherwise. Payment will be charged to your chosen payment method at confirmation of purchase and at the start of every new billing cycle. Your Subscription will automatically renew at the end of each term unless you cancel your account through your online account management page or by contacting us at support@ariseforums.com at least one business day before the end of the term. You may cancel auto-renewal on your Subscription at any time, in which case your Subscription will continue until the end of that term before terminating.
Arise Forums may change the price for Subscriptions from time to time and will communicate any price changes to you in advance and, if applicable, how to accept those changes. Price changes for Subscriptions will take effect at the start of the next subscription period following the date of the price change. You accept the new price by continuing to use Your Subscription after the price change takes effect. If You do not agree with the price changes, You have the right to reject the change by cancelling Your Subscription before the price change goes into effect.
1.3. Lifetime Memberships. Lifetime subscriptions are for the lifetime of the purchased product. A product may no longer warrant support and may be eliminated from our product set. Lifetime subscriptions can be refunded within the first seventy-two (72) hours after payment has been received. After that point, they are non-refundable.
1.4. Taxes. Our prices listed do not include any taxes, levies, duties, or similar governmental assessments of any nature such as value-added, sales, use, or withholding taxes, assessable by any jurisdiction unless otherwise indicated. You are responsible for paying Taxes associated with your purchase.
1.5. Price Changes. Arise Forums may change the fees charged to you for the Services at any time, with the change becoming effective only at the end of the then-current term of your Subscription. We will provide you with advance notice of any change in fees.
1.6. Refund Policy. We provide a full no-questions-asked refund within seventy-two (72) hours of first signing-up with Arise Forums. After that, all payments are nonrefundable, and there are no refunds or credits for partially used subscription periods.
