6. Billing, Payments, Cancellations, and EU Consumer Rights
Paid Subscriptions are billed on a recurring basis. Your payment to Affirmuse LLC will automatically renew at the end of each subscription period unless you cancel or pause your subscription.
You may cancel or pause your subscription at any time. However, your cancellation or pause will only take effect after the current paid period ends. Until that time, you will retain full access to your current membership level. Afterward, your account will either revert to the free membership or remain paused, depending on your selection.
All payments are final. No refunds or credits will be granted for unused time, partial subscription periods, or early cancellations, except as required by law or as expressly stated in these Terms.
6.1 EU Customers: Right of Withdrawal for Digital Content
If you are a resident of the European Union, you may have a legal right to withdraw from your subscription contract within 14 days of purchase.
However, this right of withdrawal does not apply once access to digital content begins, provided that you have:
- Explicitly agreed that access to the content should begin immediately, and
- Acknowledged that you thereby lose your 14-day right of withdrawal.
At checkout, you will be asked to confirm the following:
“I agree to receive immediate access to digital content and waive my 14-day withdrawal right. (Required for EU compliance)”
If you do not check this box, you will not be able to complete your subscription.
This ensures full compliance with EU consumer protection laws.
6.2 Tax Rates:
Tax rates are calculated based on the information you provide and the applicable rate at the time of your monthly charge. These rates may change over time in accordance with local tax requirements in your country, state, territory, county, or city. Any change in tax rate will be automatically applied based on the account information you provide.
7. User Guidelines
To ensure that the Affirmuse Service is a positive and enjoyable experience for everyone, we’ve created a set of guidelines (“Affirmuse User Guidelines“). By using the Affirmuse Service, you agree to follow these guidelines, adhere to all relevant laws and regulations, and respect the intellectual property, privacy, and other rights of Affirmuse LLC.
