1. Fees. You agree to pay the Account subscription fees for your Account identified on the Helpi5 website when you select a subscription plan or otherwise communicate to you in writing (“Fees”). Fees are denominated and payable in United States dollars. Base subscription Fees are charged monthly in advance and additional fees (for example, Fees arising from usage of the Helpi5 Offering in excess of the usage covered by your base subscription Fees) are charged monthly in arrears. If you have not previously used the Helpi5 Offering, Helpi5 may provide a free trial for such a number of days as is identified on the Helpi5 website when you select a subscription plan (a “Free Trial”). If you are given a Free Trial your first Fees will be due at the end of the Free Trial and will be charged automatically unless you cancel your subscription prior to that date. In all other cases, your first Fees will be due when you subscribe. All Fees paid are nonrefundable. All Fees are payable by credit card only, as further described in Section 5.4.
2. Surcharges. Fees are exclusive of any applicable sales, use, excise, import or export taxes, duties, value-added taxes, tariffs or similar surcharges (“Surcharges”). In the event Helpi5 is required by law to withhold Surcharges on your behalf, Helpi5 may pay such Surcharges to the authorized taxing authority and, upon demand, you agree to reimburse Helpi5 for amounts paid.
3. Collection. You agree to reimburse Helpi5 for any costs or expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred to collect any Fees or Surcharges not paid when due.
4. Payment Processing.  You acknowledge and agree that Helpi5 uses a third-party payment processor for all credit card transactions. Payments made via credit card are subject to the terms and conditions of such payment processors as well as the terms of your own banking institution or credit card provider. You hereby authorize Helpi5 and its third-party payment processing provider to charge your credit card monthly for all applicable Fees. You agree to provide us with accurate and timely credit card information. In the event that we are unable to charge Fees to the credit card provided, and you do not provide us with another valid credit card prior to the end of your then current monthly subscription, then your ability to access and use your Account will be suspended or terminated in Helpi5’s sole discretion.
5. Account Suspension.  Fees payable to Helpi5 shall continue to accrue during any period of Account suspension. Amounts due must be paid in full as a condition precedent to Account reactivation, which reactivation will be in Help 5’s sole discretion.
6. All Fees are exclusive of applicable federal, provincial, state, local or other governmental sales, goods and services (including Goods and Sales Tax under the Goods and Services Tax Act, Canada), harmonized or other taxes, fees or charges now in force or enacted in the future (“Taxes”).
7. You are responsible for all applicable Taxes that arise from or as a result of your subscription to or purchase of Helpi5’s products and services. To the extent that Helpi5 charges these Taxes, they are calculated using the tax rates that apply based on the billing address you provide to us. Such amounts are in addition to the Fees for such products and services and will be billed to your Authorized Payment Method. If you are exempt from payment of such Taxes, you must provide us with evidence of your exemption, which in some jurisdictions includes an original certificate that satisfies applicable legal requirements attesting to tax-exempt status. Tax exemption will only apply from and after the date we receive evidence satisfactory to Helpi5 of your exemption. If you are not charged Taxes by Helpi5, you are responsible for determining if Taxes are payable, and if so, self-remitting Taxes to the appropriate tax authorities in your jurisdiction.
8. For the avoidance of doubt, all sums payable by you to Helpi5 under these Terms of Service shall be paid free and clear of any deductions or withholdings whatsoever. Other than Taxes charged by Helpi5 to you and remitted to the appropriate tax authorities on your behalf, any deductions or withholdings that are required by law shall be borne by you and paid separately to the relevant taxation authority. Helpi5 shall be entitled to charge the full amount of Fees stipulated under these Terms of Service to your Authorized Payment Method ignoring any such deduction or withholding that may be required.
9. Helpi5 does not provide refunds.

In no event will we refund any Fees or Surcharges where we terminate for cause. You may effect a termination of this Agreement by cancelling your then current monthly subscription via your Account. This Agreement will continue in full force and effect and Fees and Surcharges will continue to accrue until a termination by either party becomes effective, notwithstanding your failure to use the Helpi5 Offering or access your Account.
