For recurring fees (AKA subscriptions), your subscription begins on your purchase date, and we’ll bill or charge you in the automatically-renewing interval (such as monthly, annually, or biennially) you select, on a pre-pay basis until you cancel, which you can do at any time by contacting the relevant support team. For revenue-based fees — such as <a href="https://wordpress.com/support/wordpress-editor/blocks/payments/#related-fees">fees for the Payments feature</a> — you pay us a percentage of the revenue your website generates. Revenue-based fees are ongoing.</p> <p><strong>Taxes.</strong> To the extent permitted by law, or unless explicitly stated otherwise, all fees do not include applicable federal, provincial, state, local or other governmental sales, value-added, goods and services, harmonized or other taxes, fees, or charges (“Taxes”). You’re responsible for paying all applicable Taxes relating to your use of our Services, your payments, or your purchases. If we’re obligated to pay or collect Taxes on the fees you’ve paid or will pay, you’re responsible for those Taxes, and we may collect payment from you.</p> <p><strong>Payment.</strong> You must provide accurate and up-to-date payment information. By providing your payment information, you authorize us to store it until you request deletion. If your payment fails, we suspect fraud, or Paid Services are otherwise not paid for or paid for on time (for example, if you contact your bank or credit card company to decline or reverse the charge of fees for Paid Services), we may immediately cancel or revoke your access to Paid Services without notice to you. You authorize us to charge any updated payment information provided by your bank or payment service provider (e.g., new expiration date) or other payment methods provided if we can’t charge your primary payment method.</p> <p class="important"><strong>Automatic Renewal. </strong>By enrolling in a subscription, you authorize us to automatically charge the then-applicable fees and Taxes for each subsequent subscription period until the subscription is canceled. If you received a discount, used a coupon code, or subscribed during a free trial or promotion, your subscription will automatically renew for the full price of the subscription at the end of the discount period. This means that unless you cancel a subscription, it’ll automatically renew and we’ll charge your payment method(s). You must cancel at least one month before the scheduled end date of any annual subscription and at least 24 hours before the end of any shorter subscription period. The date for the automatic renewal is based on the date of the original purchase and cannot be changed. If you’ve purchased access to multiple services, you may have multiple renewal dates.</p> <p>You can view your renewal date(s), cancel, or manage subscriptions in your settings (for example, <a href="https://wordpress.com/me/purchases">WordPress.com’s Manage Purchases page</a> or <a href="http://woocommerce.com/my-account/my-subscriptions/">Woo’s My Subscriptions page</a>) or by contacting the support team.</p> <p><strong>Fees and Changes.</strong> We may change our fees at any time in accordance with these Terms and requirements under applicable law. This means that we may change our fees going forward, start charging fees for Services that were previously free, or remove or update features or functionality that were previously included in the fees. If you don’t agree with the changes, you must cancel your Paid Service.</p> <p><strong>Refunds.</strong> We may have a refund policy for some of our Paid Services, and we’ll also provide refunds if required by law. In all other cases, there are no refunds and all payments are final.</p> <p>We may have a “no-show policy” for some Paid Services that require your participation. This means that if you don’t show up for, don’t participate in, or are late for a scheduled session, you’ll still be charged for the Paid Service and won’t be entitled to a refund.</p> <p><em>European Users: </em></p> <p>You have the right to withdraw from the transaction within fourteen (14) days from the date of the purchase without giving any reason as long as your purchase was not of downloadable content or of a customized nature, and (i) the service has not been fully performed, or (ii) subject to other limitations as permitted by law. For digital content, you agree that any purchase of digital content will be made available to you immediately and as a result you waive any right of withdrawal to such content.</p> <p>If you cancel this contract, we will reimburse you all payments we have received from you, including delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs resulting from the fact that you have chosen a type of delivery other than the most favorable standard delivery offered by us), without undue delay and no later than within fourteen days from the day on which we received the notification of your cancellation of this contract. For this repayment, we will use the same means of payment that you used for the original transaction, unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged for this repayment. If we have already begun our services during the withdrawal period, you will pay us a prorated amount corresponding to the services already provided up to the time you notify us of the exercise of the withdrawal right compared to the total scope of the services provided for in the contract. If you cancel your contract with us, you will refrain from using the digital content or digital services or making them available to third parties.</p> <p>You may exercise your right to withdrawal by sending a clear, written request to: Aut O’Mattic A8C Ireland Ltd., Grand Canal Dock, 25 Herbert Pl, Dublin, D02 AY86 Ireland or by using <a href="https://wordpress.com/support/right-to-withdrawal/">this model form</a>.</p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="b-fees-collected-by-website-owners">b. Fees Collected by Website Owners</h3> <p><strong>Fees Paid to Third-Party Websites or Website Owners.</strong> Website owners can sell items (goods, content, services, etc.), offer subscriptions for their websites at specific price points and intervals, or simply collect payments. We’re not involved in a website’s subscription details or store operations (including the quality, timing, pricing, or legality of what may or may not be included in exchange for payment, or any goods or services purchased). If you buy items or subscriptions from a website, you’re making the purchase directly from the website owner, and they’re solely responsible for the items sold. Please contact the website owner if you have any questions or complaints.</p> <p><strong>Automatic Renewal. </strong>Any recurring payments you make to a WordPress.com website owner (like a <a href="https://wordpress.com/support/recurring-payments/">website subscription</a>) are automatically renewed. This means that unless you or the website owner cancels your website subscription before the end of the subscription period, it’ll automatically renew and your payment method will be charged. For example, if you select an annually renewing website subscription, you’ll be automatically charged once each year until the subscription is canceled. You can view the renewal dates or cancel your website subscriptions on your <a href="https://wordpress.com/me/purchases/other">Purchases page</a>.</p> <p><strong>Refunds.</strong> We’re not responsible for refunding fees paid to a website owner because those transactions are between website owners and their users. If you’d like to request a refund, please contact the website owner. If you have a complaint regarding a website owner, you can <a href="https://en.wordpress.com/abuse/">contact us</a>.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="feedback">6.

WordPress.com Websites and Accounts</h3> <p><a href="https://wordpress.com/">WordPress.com</a> enables you to create beautiful websites and blogs, and we would love for you to use it. A WordPress.com account also allows you to sign into some of our other Services.</p> <p>WordPress.com’s basic service is free, and we offer <a href="https://wordpress.com/pricing/">paid plans</a> that add advanced features like a custom domain name, extra storage, and access to premium themes. We don’t own your content, and you retain all ownership rights you have in the content you post to your website. However, be responsible in what you publish.

This license also allows us to make any publicly-posted Content available to select third parties (through <a href="https://developer.wordpress.com/docs/firehose/">Firehose</a>, for example) so that these third parties can analyze and distribute (but not publicly display) the Content through their services. You also give other WordPress.com users permission to share your Content on other WordPress.com websites and add their own Content to it (aka to “reblog” your Content), so long as they use only a portion of your post and they give you credit as the original author by linking back to your website, which the <a href="https://en.support.wordpress.com/reblogs/">reblogging</a> function on WordPress.com does automatically.</p> <p><strong>Removing Content.</strong> If you delete Content, we’ll use reasonable efforts to remove it from public view (or in the case of a private website, from view by the authorized visitors) on WordPress.com, but you acknowledge that cached versions of the Content or references to the Content may not be immediately unavailable.</p> <p><strong>Web Traffic.</strong> We may use a third-party service to measure WordPress.com’s audience and usage. By having your website on WordPress.com, you agree to assign the traffic for your website to Automattic, and you authorize us to sign a Traffic Assignment Letter on your behalf. This means that your website’s traffic may be included under Automattic, your website may not receive credit for traffic in the respective reports, and you must not assign your website’s traffic to any other party.

Among other things, this means that:</p> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>Ecommerce Services cannot be used in, from, by, or for the benefit of a country, organization, entity, or person embargoed or blocked by any government, including those on <a href="https://www.treasury.gov/resource-center/sanctions">sanctions lists identified by the United States Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC)</a>.</li> <li>If you’re using Ecommerce Services, you must observe all <a href="https://en.support.wordpress.com/store-guidelines/">Store Guidelines</a> and, if hosted on WordPress.com, the <a href="https://en.support.wordpress.com/user-guidelines/">User Guidelines</a> as well.</li> <li>If you’re using Ecommerce Services to sell CBD and other hemp-derived products using Woo, you must follow the <a href="https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/woocommerce-cbd/">Woo Guidelines for CBD and Other Hemp-Derived Products</a>.</li> </ul> <p>We may terminate your access to our Services or force refunds (where possible) to your subscribers and customers without notice to you if we determine (in our sole discretion) that your use violates the Agreement, or if a payment processor or regulatory authority requires it.</p> <p><strong>Fees and Negative Balances.</strong> In some cases, you pay us fees relating to the Ecommerce Services you use. For example, the fee for the Payments feature is a <a href="https://wordpress.com/support/wordpress-editor/blocks/payments/#related-fees">percentage</a> (which depends on your plan) of the revenue your website generates through the Payment feature, and when you use the feature, you authorize Stripe to direct payment of that percentage to us. As another example, if you use WooPayments, there are <a href="https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/payments/faq/fees/">transaction fees and dispute fees</a>. Please note that we have no obligation to reimburse or refund these revenue-based fees when you issue refunds to your subscribers or customers.</p> <p>If you have a negative account balance (for example because of fraud, chargebacks, or other operational issues) or we’re obligated to pay or collect any fees relating to your ecommerce activities or your use of Ecommerce Services, you’re responsible for those losses and fees, and we may collect payment for those losses and fees.</p> <p><strong>Tax Calculations.</strong> While some Ecommerce Services allow you to include sales taxes in transactions — for example, tax calculations may be provided by Taxamo — you shouldn’t rely solely on these features. We work to keep our documents and tools up-to-date, but tax laws change rapidly; and we can’t guarantee that tax calculations you receive through or in connection with our Services are complete and accurate. Tax laws also differ from jurisdiction to jurisdiction and may be interpreted differently by different authorities. We recommend consulting with a tax professional for your specific tax situation to assess the tax rates you should charge.</p> <p>If we’re obligated to pay or collect Taxes on your ecommerce activities or your use of Ecommerce Services, you’re responsible for these Taxes, and we may collect payment for them from you.</p> <p><strong>Third-Party Services.</strong> You may decide to use third-party services, like <a href="https://stripe.com/">Stripe</a> or <a href="https://www.paypal.com/">PayPal</a> to collect payment or <a href="https://www.easypost.com/">EasyPost</a> to manage shipping. Please note that WooPayments is powered by Stripe. If you use WooPayments or any third-party services, some of your — and your customers’ — data may be submitted directly to or passed to the respective third party, and the respective third party’s terms of service, privacy policy, and other policies may apply. For example, <a href="https://wordpress.com/support/wordpress-editor/blocks/payments/">Payments</a> requires a Stripe account to manage payments, and when you use Stripe, you agree to <a href="https://stripe.com/legal">their terms and policies</a>. Please note that third-party services may also charge you fees to use or access their services, <a href="https://wordpress.com/support/wordpress-editor/blocks/payments/#related-fees">as Stripe does for Payments</a>.</p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400">While we may license you relevant extensions, w</span>e’re not involved in any third-party services tied to those extensions.
