10. Subscription Terms, Fees and Payments; Automatic Renewal and Cancellation.

The Company offers one day access, one week access, one month access, and one year access subscriptions to Paid Services for all Client Users. The length of the subscription period is selected by the Client User during the registration and enrollment process.

1. All Subscriptions are Automatically Renewing.

This means that once you become a Client User, your subscription will be automatically renewed and your credit card will be charged based on the subscription program you have chosen unless you opt out or cancel by following the instructions in these Terms of Use. By subscribing to the Paid Services, you authorise the Company to charge the applicable recurring subscription fees to your credit card. When you initially subscribe to the Paid Services, your credit or debit card will be charged immediately for the initial term of the subscription at the then-current fee for the applicable subscription period. Unless you notify the Company of your decision to terminate your subscription, your subscription will automatically renew at the end of each subscription term at the then-current fee. You will be charged in advance for the renewal term of the subscription service on your applicable billing date (the "Billing Date"), which will be the corresponding daily, weekly, monthly, or annual anniversary of the activation date of your subscription. If, however, the activation date of your subscription is on the 29th, 30th or 31st day of a month, and your Billing Date does not exist in a particular month because there are fewer than thirty-one (31) days in the month payment is due, your Billing Date for that particular renewal will be on the last day of the month in which your Billing Date would otherwise be. Each charge on the applicable Billing Date applies to the subscription period immediately following the Billing Date (e.g., a charge for a monthly subscription applies to the month immediately following the Billing Date). You understand that any applicable sales or use taxes will be payable by you, and may be included in each periodic statement. The Company may, in its sole discretion, suspend access to your account or deactivate your account without notice to you if the Company is unable to process your payment or if payment is past due, regardless of the amount. You agree to pay any outstanding balance in full within thirty (30) days of cancellation or termination of your subscription. You may update any of your billing information (including a change to your desired billing payment method) through your account settings on the Company. BY COMPLETING THE ENROLLMENT PROCESS, YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT UNLESS AND UNTIL YOU CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION TO THE PAID SERVICES:

• YOUR SUBSCRIPTION TO THE PAID SERVICES WILL AUTOMATICALLY RENEW AT THE END OF THE SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD AND CONTINUE FOR ANOTHER SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD;
• YOU WILL AUTOMATICALLY BE BILLED AT THE START OF EACH NEW SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD; AND
• THAT PERIODIC CHARGES FOR EACH NEW SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY BILLED TO YOUR DESIGNATED BILLING PAYMENT METHOD.

 

1. Opting Out Of Renewal.

YOU MAY TERMINATE ENROLMENT IN AUTOMATIC RENEWAL AT ANY TIME BY EMAILING CLIENT@ACTOR.DIGITAL. YOUR SUBSCRIPTION TO THE PAID SERVICES SHALL BE DEEMED TERMINATED ON THE LAST DAY OF THE THEN IN EFFECT SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD. YOU AGREE THAT EXCEPT AS PROVIDED HEREIN, THE SUBSCRIPTION FEE IS NON-REFUNDABLE ONCE PAID.

1. Unauthorized Charges.

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU, AND NOT THE COMPANY, ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING ANY AMOUNTS BILLED TO YOUR CREDIT OR DEBIT CARD BY A THIRD PARTY WHICH WERE NOT AUTHORIZED BY YOU.

1. Billing Discrepancies.

Unless you notify the Company of any discrepancies within sixty (60) days after they first appear on your payment statement, they will be deemed accepted by you and you release the Company from all liabilities and claims of loss resulting from any such error or discrepancy.

1. Fees Subject to Change.

The Company may change the fees and charges then in effect by giving you notice in advance or by posting the changed fees online at https://actor.digital/pricing/. It is your responsibility to check the current fees.  All fees and charges incurred in connection with your user name(s) and password(s) will be billed to the credit card you designate during the registration process. If you want to designate a different credit card or there is a change in your credit card validity or expiration date, you must contact the Customer Service at client@actor.digital or update your information through your account settings on the Company.

1. Cancellations and Refunds.

Daily subscriptions are not refundable. Monthly subscriptions are not eligible for a refund, but can be cancelled to prevent additional future charges. For all initial purchases of subscriptions longer than one month, you may cancel prior to renewal to prevent future renewal charges; or cancel during the first five (5) days after renewal to remain eligible for a full refund on the renewal payment. If the cancellation occurs after the first five days or if the charge was for a monthly subscription, you will not receive a refund. For all renewals of subscriptions longer than one month, you may cancel within five days of the renewal date and receive a full refund; cancellations made after this period are not eligible for a refund. Monthly subscriptions (both initial subscriptions and renewals) may be cancelled at any time but you will not receive a refund. If you cancel your subscription but are not eligible for a refund, you will retain access to the Website until your subscription expires. Cancellations may be made by emailing client@actor.digital. Your cancellation must be received by end of business (6:00 p.m. Pacific Time Zone (PT)) on the appropriate day as described above, or earlier. All refunds will be given to the original credit card on which the purchase was made. Please allow a reasonable time for the refund to reach you or be charged back to your account.

11. Additional Terms.

In some instances, additional terms or end user license agreements apply to some services, products, software, competitions or promotions offered via the Website. Such terms are posted in connection with the applicable service, product, software, competition or promotion and are in addition to these Terms of Use.  In the event of a conflict, the additional terms prevail over these Terms of Use. The Company may change, suspend or discontinue any aspect of the Website at any time and without prior notice.

12. Entire Agreement

You acknowledge and agree that these Terms of Use, the Privacy Policy, any applicable end user license or similar agreements contain the entire agreement between the parties relating to the Website; provided, however these Terms of Use do not alter in any way the terms or conditions of any other agreement User may have with the Company. If any provision in these Terms of Use is invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, that part will be deemed severable and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.  Each Affiliate expressly made a third party beneficiary of this Agreement and may enforce this Agreement directly against you. This Agreement will be binding on and will inure to the benefit of the legal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties hereto

13. Equipment and Internet Access.

14. No Oral Agreements or Modifications.

There shall be no amendment or modification of these Terms of Use unless the same is in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the Company. Oral agreements shall expressly be non-binding and unenforceable.

15. Dispute Resolution.

Please read this section carefully. It affects rights that you may otherwise have. It provides for resolution of most disputes through arbitration instead of court trials and class actions. Arbitration is final and binding and subject to only very limited review by a court. This arbitration clause shall survive termination of this agreement. If a dispute arises between you and the Company, our goal is to provide you a neutral and cost effective means of resolving the dispute quickly.

1. Negotiations.

Before initiating any arbitration or court proceeding, you and the Company agree to first attempt to negotiate any dispute, controversy or claim related to the Website, these Terms of Use or the Privacy Policy, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory (each, a "Claim") (except those Claims expressly provided in Section 17(f) below) informally for at least thirty (30) days. Negotiations will begin upon written notice. The Company will send its notice via Certified Mail to your billing or other physical address (if on file with the Company) and email you a copy to the email address you have provided.

1. Binding Arbitration.

This Section 15 is referred to in these Terms of Use as the "Arbitration Agreement". You agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between you and the Company or a the Company affiliate, whether relating to these Terms of Use (including any alleged breach thereof), or otherwise, shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than a court in accordance with the terms of this Arbitration Agreement, except you may assert individual claims in small claims court, if your claims qualify. Your rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator, not a judge or jury. The Federal Arbitration Act, hereinafter referred to as “FAA”, governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement.

1. Arbitration Procedures.
