You will be billed in advance on either a one-time occurrence or on a monthly or annual auto-renewal, based on which options You selected. If on a one-time occurrence, your membership will be good for one (1) year from purchase and will terminate promptly thereafter on your Membership expiration date if you decide not to renew. If You purchased a Membership with the Auto-Renewal option, see further details below in the Auto-Renewal section. If You upgrade Your Membership in the middle of your Membership year, Your Membership renewal date will not change to the upgrade date.
    4. Access to Privacy Beginner’s Website membership benefits occurs on the same day payment is received subject to You providing accurate contact information.
  7. Cancellation. Memberships that are not on auto-renewal cannot be cancelled. Once paid, You will have access for the full year in which You paid for Your Membership. For auto-renewal Memberships, You may cancel Your Membership renewal through “Your Account” settings page on the Site. For all Membership cancellations, You will not receive a refund for the fees You already paid for Your current Membership period. You will continue to have access to the Site until the end of Your current Membership period. Upon conclusion of your Membership period, any unused Membership benefits will no longer be available.
  8. Auto-Renewal. If you purchased a Membership under the Auto-Renewal Program for certain applicable Products, the following additional terms apply:
    1. Under the Membership Auto-Renew Program, your Membership in Privacy Beginner will automatically renew for either an additional one (1) month or one (1) year term (the “Renewal Term”) depending on which option You select, until you opt-out / cancel the automatic renewal. If you have chosen to be in the Membership Auto-Renewal Program, any additional accesses you have purchased or will purchase during the initial term or a Renewal Term will also auto-renew on the renewal date for your membership (the “Renewal Date”) for the Renewal Term. Additional accesses will auto-renew on the Renewal Date and for the price for the full Renewal Term even if the additional accesses were purchased on a different date and at a prorated price.
    2. You can cancel the automatic renewal at any time up to twenty-four (24) hours before your Renewal Date (“Opt-Out Deadline”). If you do not opt-out before the Opt-Out Deadline, your membership and any additional accesses will automatically renew, and the credit card on file will automatically be charged. No refund will be allowed if you do not cancel by the Opt-Out-Deadline.
    3. You are responsible for ensuring that a valid credit card is on file. Membership dues must be paid for continued access to membership benefits.
    4. Any discounts received on Your Membership or the costs of additional accesses are only applied in the initial term. All renewals will be at the full price at the time of renewal.
  9. Billing. You shall provide Privacy Beginner with accurate and complete billing information including full name, address, state, zip code, telephone number, and a valid payment method. Should billing fail to occur for any reason, Privacy Beginner will issue an electronic notification of the declined transaction.
  10. Membership Fee Changes. Privacy Beginner, in its sole discretion and at any time, may modify Membership fees. Any Membership fee change will become effective at the end of the then-current Membership term and will apply to the following Renewal Term. Privacy Beginner will provide You with reasonable prior notice of any change in Membership fees to give You an opportunity to terminate Your Membership before such change becomes effective. Unless You cancel Your Membership as set forth under the cancellation section, Your continued use of the Site after the Membership fee change goes into effect constitutes Your agreement to pay the updated Membership fee amount.
  11. Refunds. Except when required by law, all fees paid by You for a Membership or Digital Products are non-refundable.
  12. Discounts. Discounts, outside of specific membership tier discounts, provided by Privacy Beginner to You are introductory only offers. The amount You pay for future Products or Memberships shall be the amount as advertised on the Site at time of purchase.
  13. Free Trial. Privacy Beginner may, at its sole discretion, offer a Membership with a free trial for a limited period of time and for limited use. You are only permitted to use the free trial once. If Privacy Beginner determines You are abusing the free trial by signing up under different accounts, Privacy Beginner will terminate your free trial period immediately. At any time and without notice, Privacy Beginner reserves the right to (i) modify the Terms of Service of the Free Trial offer, or (ii) cancel such Free Trial offer.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL PRIVACY BEGINNER BE LIABLE UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ITS SUBJECT MATTER UNDER ANY LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY, INCLUDING BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, AND OTHERWISE, FOR ANY: (a) LOSS OF PRODUCTION, USE, BUSINESS, REVENUE, OR PROFIT OR DIMINUTION IN VALUE; (b) IMPAIRMENT, INABILITY TO USE OR LOSS, INTERRUPTION OR DELAY OF THE SERVICES; (c) LOSS, DAMAGE, CORRUPTION OR RECOVERY OF DATA, OR BREACH OF DATA OR SYSTEM SECURITY; (d) COST OF REPLACEMENT GOODS OR SERVICES; (e) LOSS OF GOODWILL, LOSS OF BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY OR PROFIT, OR LOSS OF REPUTATION; OR (f) CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, EXEMPLARY, SPECIAL, ENHANCED, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH PERSONS WERE ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSSES OR DAMAGES OR SUCH LOSSES OR DAMAGES WERE OTHERWISE FORESEEABLE, AND NOTWITHSTANDING THE FAILURE OF ANY AGREED OR OTHER REMEDY OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

  20. Governing Law. The laws of the State of California, excluding its conflicts of law rules, shall govern these Terms and Your use of the Site.
  21. Disputes Resolution. In the event of any dispute, controversy, or claim between You and Privacy Beginner based on or arising out of these Terms, a Party shall give detailed written notice of such dispute to the other Party. The Parties shall attempt in good faith to resolve such dispute in a voluntary, amicable, and expeditious manner. If they are unable to resolve any dispute in such manner, the dispute shall be resolved by final and binding arbitration in accordance with the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Service Streamlined Rules & Procedures (the “JAMS Rules”). Arbitration shall be held in Los Angeles, California, before an arbitrator selected pursuant to the JAMS Rules who will have no personal or pecuniary interest, either directly or indirectly, from any business or family relationship with either of the Parties. All decisions of the arbitrator will be final, binding, and conclusive on the Parties. The Parties will equally share the costs of the arbitrator and the arbitration fee (if any). However, the Party prevailing in any such action shall be entitled to recover from the other Party all arbitration costs and reasonable attorney’s fees, including the costs and fees incurred in enforcing any judgment. Either Party may seek confirmation of the arbitration award in any court having competent jurisdiction. The court in which the action is filed shall have continuing jurisdiction over these Terms and the matters contained herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Party may seek equitable relief prior to the arbitration to preserve the status quo or to prevent material harm to such Party pending the completion of the arbitration process provided for in this section. By purchasing Goods or signing up for a free trial, and except for the necessity of obtaining equitable relief as more fully set forth above, the Parties each agree to waive any and all rights to a jury trial as to any and all disputes that may arise under these Terms.
  22. Severability and Waiver. If any provision of these Terms is held to be unenforceable or invalid, such provision will be changed and interpreted to accomplish the objectives of such provision to the greatest extent possible under applicable law and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect. Except as provided herein, the failure to exercise a right or to require performance of an obligation under these Terms shall not affect a party’s ability to exercise such right or require such performance at any time thereafter nor shall the waiver of a breach constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach.
  23. Notice and Communications. You agree that Privacy Beginner may communicate with You by email about Your Membership, current Orders or past Orders, including without limitation delivering notices or disclosures to you. Privacy Beginner reserves the right to communicate with you by other means, including without limitation postal mail, phone, facsimile, or other method of communication.
