Application of Terms of Use

However, certain provisions of this Terms of Use, such as those pertaining to billing and payments, apply only to Paying Memberships, as defined herein.

Membership, Billing, and Payment

Memberships

We offer our Services on a Membership basis.  Youble generally offers three types of Memberships:  (1) “Trial Membership” is the introductory Membership for new Members that includes unlimited usage of all our features and functionality on a free basis for a specific length of time (for example, 14 days), (2) “Promotional Membership” is the promotional Membership that may be available for new Members or Trial Members that includes various features, functionality, price and payment schedules as offered by Youble from time to time, and (3) “Premium Membership” is the regular Membership that applies to Members after their Trial Membership or Promotional Membership has expired, and includes unlimited usage of all our features and functionality, paid and effective on a month to month basis, prepaid at the beginning of the monthly billing cycle at the then-prevailing monthly price. We reserve the right to change the terms, conditions, features, functionality, and pricing of our Memberships from time to time, or to add or remove different types of Memberships.  We refer to our various types of Memberships throughout this Terms of Use as “Memberships”.  Memberships that are not offered on a free basis and require payment are referred to as “Paying Memberships”.

Billing Authorization

If you have purchased a Promotional Membership, at the expiration of your Promotional Membership, you are authorizing Youble to automatically convert your Membership to a Premium Membership, and are authorizing Youble to charge you for the monthly Membership dues onto your bank account or credit card immediately after your Membership is converted to a Premium Membership and automatically on a monthly basis thereafter until and unless Youble has received and acknowledged electronic notice from you to stop charging your account and cancel your Premium Membership.

Payment Obligations

You acknowledge and agree that you are responsible for payment of the Paying Membership you have purchased (including the Premium Membership you have consented for Youble to convert your Membership into upon expiration of your Promotional Membership).
