7. PRIVACY.

Use of the Services is also governed by our Privacy Policy available at www.goodbudget.com/privacy-policy/.

8. SUBSCRIPTIONS

Except with the “Free” plan, Dayspring charges a subscription fee (“Subscription Fee”) for the duration of your use of the Services. In this document, “Period” refers to the subscription interval for which a Subscription Fee is charged and Services are provided. A single Period can be one month or twelve (12) months depending on amount of the Subscription Fee.

You must provide Dayspring or its affiliates or partners with a valid credit card or debit card number with available credit or funds to pay the Subscription Fee. You authorize Dayspring or its affiliates or partners to make all charges described in this Agreement to your organization’s account. If the payment of your Subscription Fee fails for any reason, your account may be suspended until you provide Dayspring with valid credit card information and the Subscription Fee is paid.

The Subscription Fee for each of the Services is dependent on the Service. Dayspring reserves the right, at any time, to modify its Subscription Fee and billing methods. Current Subscription Fees are posted within your Dayspring account on the “Subscriptions” page.

Subscription Fees may be charged to your account in advance on a periodic basis. The Subscription Fee is non-refundable. There will be no refunds or credits for partial Periods of Service or for Periods unused with an open account. You are responsible for payment of all taxes, levies, or duties imposed by taxing authorities on your Subscription Fee.

9. SUBSCRIPTIONS TERMS AND TERMINATION

All Services are made available on a periodic basis through the Dayspring website, the Apple App Store, and Google Play. Periodic subscriptions will be automatically renewed by Dayspring unless you disable a Service or disable automatic renewal.

You may disable any Service at any time by accessing the Subscription page in your account and following the instructions for disabling a Service. Disabling of any Service will take effect after any existing paid Periods expire. When you disable a Service, no charges for the Service will appear in your Subscription Fee for the next billing cycle. Requests to disable any Service or cancel your account must be processed before 5PM Pacific Time two days before your monthly billing cycle in order to avoid a subsequent charge for your Subscription Fee.

Disabling any Service may cause the loss of content, features, or capacity of your account. Canceling your account will cause the immediate loss of all Content, features, and capacity of your account. This information cannot be recovered and Dayspring does not accept any liability for such loss.

Dayspring, in its sole discretion, may immediately terminate this Agreement, your account and all current or future use of the Services, for any reason at any time. Termination of your account includes removal of your access to all Services, and the forfeiture and relinquishment of all User Content in your account. Dayspring reserves the right to refuse services to anyone for any reason at any time.

When we receive proper notification of alleged copyright infringement, we will investigate and may remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material and may terminate, in our sole discretion, the accounts of repeat infringers in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act and other applicable law. We may also, at our sole discretion, limit access to the Services and/or terminate the memberships of any Users who infringe any intellectual property rights of others, whether or not there is any repeat infringement.
