Payment
​-
​​​Fees and Premium Services
If You purchase any Premium Services on subscription basis, You will pay HangVue the applicable fees and any related taxes (other than taxes on HangVue's income). HangVue may change its fees at any time by publishing written notice on the Service. You authorize HangVue to charge the applicable fees to the payment card that You submit to HangVue, and agree that HangVue and any HangVue Affiliate may store Your payment card information. You will pay all fees and taxes as they become due. Your obligation to pay fees continues through the end of the subscription period during which You cancel Your subscription. If Your payment card issuer or bank does not honor charges You have paid using Your card, You will remain directly liable to HangVue for all unpaid amounts. If You fail to pay applicable fees, HangVue reserves the right to charge interest at the rate of 1.5% per month, or the maximum amount permitted by law (if lower). You may cancel Your Premium Services here. You also acknowledge that Premium Services are subject to this Agreement and any additional terms related to the provision of the Premium Service.
Nonpayment of any fees or other sums due to HangVue or any other party related to Your use of the Service will result in Service termination. We may, at our discretion, also appoint an outside debt collection agency to collect amounts owed to us. You agree to reimburse us for all costs that we incur in enforcing our collection of Your unpaid amounts, including debt collection agency fees, reasonable attorneys' and legal fees and court costs.
All overcharges or billing disputes must be reported within 30 days of the time that the dispute occurred. If You dispute a charge to Your payment card issuer that, in our reasonable judgment, is a valid charge under the provisions of this Agreement, You agree to pay us an additional charge (“Administration Charge”) to investigate the matter. We will refund any such Administration Charge if our investigation finds that Your action in disputing the charge to Your card issuer was justified because the charge was not valid under the provisions of this Agreement.
For the purposes of our lifetime Premium subscription, lifetime constitutes 100 years or until the date HangVue, Inc. ceases to commercially offer the Products.

The renewal rate will be no more than the rate for the immediately prior subscription period, excluding any promotional and discount pricing, unless we notify You of a rate change prior to Your auto-renewal. You must cancel Your subscription in accordance with the cancellation procedures disclosed to You for the particular subscription. We will not refund fees that may have accrued to Your account and will not prorate fees for a cancelled subscription. From time to time, we may offer a free trial subscription for a service. If You register for a free trial subscription, we will begin to bill Your account when the free trial subscription expires, unless You cancel Your subscription before that time.

​​Applicable Law and Jurisdiction; Compliance.
All disputes arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Service shall be resolved exclusively by binding arbitration conducted in Mississauga, Ontario before a single arbitrator (the “Arbitrator”) in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) then in effect and the further procedures set forth herein. In the event that the American Arbitration Association is unavailable or unwilling to administer the arbitration, and the parties are unable to agree to a substitute, a substitute shall be appointed by the court. The Arbitrator shall have authority to issue any and all remedies authorized by law. The arbitration shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 2 et seq., and the laws of the Province of Ontario without reference to principles of conflicts of laws. Notwithstanding any rules of the American Arbitration Association to the contrary, any claims shall be adjudicated on an individual basis, and YOU WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO BRING ANY CLAIM AS A REPRESENTATIVE OF A PROPOSED CLASS, ON AN AGGREGATED OR MASS BASIS, OR AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL, OR TO CONSOLIDATE ARBITRATION PROCEEDINGS WITHOUT THE CONSENT OF ALL PARTIES THERETO. Any award rendered by the Arbitrator shall be final, conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto. In connection with any arbitration proceeding pursuant to this Agreement, unless the Arbitrator shall determine otherwise, each party shall bear its own costs and expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, You may at Your option file an individual claim in any small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of its subject matter jurisdiction if such court has personal jurisdiction. HangVue does not hereby waive any defense that such jurisdiction may be lacking in Your state or province. Without derogation of the parties’ obligation to arbitrate as set forth herein, for any claims other than those in small claims court, jurisdiction for any court proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Service shall be vested exclusively in, and venue shall be laid in, the state or federal courts sitting in Mississauga, Ontario, except that, following confirmation of an arbitration award in a state or federal court in Mississauga, Ontario, a judgment arising therefrom may be executed in any court of competent jurisdiction.

As used in this Agreement, “including” means “including but not limited to.” If any provision of this Agreement is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, then this Agreement will remain in full force and effect and will be reformed to be valid and enforceable while reflecting the intent of the parties to the greatest extent permitted by law. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, this Agreement sets forth the entire agreement between You and HangVue regarding its subject matter, and supersedes all prior promises, agreements or representations, whether written or oral, regarding such subject matter.
