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) you select, on a pre-pay basis until you cancel, which you can do at any time by contacting <a href="mailto: plusplus@dev.to">plusplus@dev.to</a>. </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> <strong>Automatic Renewal.</strong> By enrolling in a subscription, you authorize us to automatically charge the then-applicable fees 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). The date for the automatic renewal is based on the date of the original purchase and cannot be changed. </p> <p> You can view your renewal date(s), cancel, or manage subscriptions by contacting <a href="mailto: plusplus@dev.to">plusplus@dev.to</a>. </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 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>There are no refunds and all payments are final. </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. If you cancel this contract, we will reimburse you all payments we have received from you, 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. You may exercise your right to withdrawal by sending a clear, email request to <a href="mailto: plusplus@dev.to">plusplus@dev.to</a> with the following information: <ul> <li>List of services you wish to withdraw from</li> <li>List the date that you purchased the goods or services. If this is a recurring subscription, please list the most recent renewal date</li> <li>List your full legal name and the email associated with your account</li> <li>List the address in which you legally reside</li> <li>Today's Date</li> </ul> </p> <h3 id="governing-law"> 13.
