Pricing Information: All prices for our Services are listed on our website and are subject to change without notice. We make every effort to ensure that the pricing displayed on our website is accurate; however, we reserve the right to correct any pricing errors or omissions at our sole discretion. If a Service is listed at an incorrect price due to a typographical or other error, we reserve the right to refuse or cancel any orders placed for that Service at the incorrect price, even if the order has been confirmed and your payment method has been charged. In the event that your payment method has already been charged, we will promptly issue a refund for the incorrect price.
Currency: Unless otherwise stated, all prices are listed in USD, and all payments must be made in that currency. You are responsible for any fees associated with currency conversion or payment processing, as applicable.
Payment Methods: We accept various payment methods as indicated on our website. By providing a payment method, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to use the designated payment method and that you authorize us (or our third-party payment processor) to charge your payment method for the total amount of your purchase (including any applicable taxes and other charges). If the payment method cannot be verified, is invalid, or is otherwise not acceptable, your order may be suspended or canceled.
Taxes: You are responsible for paying any applicable taxes related to your purchase of Services. The total price indicated at checkout will include any applicable taxes based on the billing information you provide. If we are required to collect or pay taxes, those taxes will be added to the purchase price of your order and reflected in your invoice.
Refund Policy: Refunds for Services may be available under certain circumstances as described on the specific service page or as required by law. Any refund requests must be made in accordance with our refund policy, which is available on our website. If you are eligible for a refund, we will process the refund within a reasonable time after your request has been approved. Please note that the original payment method used for the purchase will be credited, and processing times for refunds may vary depending on your financial institution.
Subscription Services: If you purchase a subscription service, your subscription will automatically renew at the end of the applicable subscription period unless you cancel your subscription before the renewal date. The renewal will be at the same price and for the same duration as the original subscription, unless otherwise notified by us. You may cancel your subscription by following the instructions provided on our website or by contacting our customer support team.
Billing Disputes: If you believe that you have been billed incorrectly or if you have any issues regarding your payment, you must contact us within 30 days of the date of the billing statement in question. We will investigate and, if necessary, correct any errors promptly. If you fail to notify us within this timeframe, you waive your right to dispute the charges.

If you cancel after the subscription renewal date, you may still be charged for that subscription period, and the cancellation will take effect from the next billing cycle.
Refunds Upon Cancellation:
- Refund Eligibility: Depending on the specific terms of the Service purchased, you may or may not be eligible for a refund upon cancellation.
