- Subscriptions
Some parts of Service are billed on a subscription basis (“Subscription(s)”). You will be billed in advance on a recurring and periodic basis (“Billing Cycle”). Billing cycles are set either on a monthly or annual basis, depending on the type of subscription plan you select when purchasing a Subscription.
At the end of each Billing Cycle, your Subscription will automatically renew under the exact same conditions unless you cancel it or Meeticks Africa (Pty) Ltd cancels it. You may cancel your Subscription renewal either through your online account management page or by contacting Meeticks Africa (Pty) Ltd customer support team.
A valid payment method is required to process the payment for your subscription. You shall provide Meeticks Africa (Pty) Ltd with accurate and complete billing information including full name, address, state, telephone number, and a valid payment method information. By submitting such payment information, you automatically authorize Meeticks Africa (Pty) Ltd to charge all Subscription fees incurred through your account to any such payment instruments.
Should automatic billing fail to occur for any reason, Meeticks Africa (Pty) Ltd will issue an electronic invoice indicating that you must proceed manually, within a certain deadline date, with the full payment corresponding to the billing period as indicated on the invoice.
Meeticks Africa (Pty) Ltd reserves the right to deduct due subscription costs from sales before payouts to yourself.
