5. Recurring Fees and Free Trials/Free Memberships When you subscribe to our Services, you must provide to us your name, billing address, e-mail address and credit card, debit card, or other account charge authorization information for the payment method that you provide to pay the periodic membership fee (the "Payment Method"). Fees paid by you for Services are not refundable. By requesting membership to any of the Company Websites and by accepting the benefits of becoming a member, you agree that as a condition of your continued membership to authorize us or our agent to charge your Payment Method the periodic membership fee applicable to your membership plan (e.g., the signup fee, if any, and 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months), in effect from time to time, on each periodic anniversary date of that plan, until your membership is canceled. For example, if you have a monthly plan and your paid membership began on June 19, your periodic anniversary date is the 19th of each month, and your Payment Method will be charged for the applicable periodic (monthly) membership fee on that date each month. Your Payment Method will be charged on the first day of the following month if the periodic anniversary date falls on a date that is not contained in your anniversary month (for example, if your paid membership started on the 31st day of a month). You will not be provided with copies of charge slips evidencing the recurring charges of the applicable periodic membership fee. You agree to pay the applicable periodic membership fees in accordance with your Payment Method issuer agreement, if applicable. If your Payment Method is a credit or charge card (the “Payment Card”), you also authorize us to place a pending charge to your Payment Card when you sign up for membership, and prior to each subsequent periodic charge. Pending charges are used to verify your billing address and the validity of your Payment Card, are temporary (typically 3 to 7 days in length), and will not be converted into an actual charge to you. Pending charges will, however, reduce the available amount of credit on your Payment Card in the amount of $1 or less per pending charge. From time to time, in our sole discretion, we may offer a free trial (“free trial”) to first-time subscribers, limit one per household and/or Payment Method provided. Where such an offer is made, at the time of registration for your free trial, your credit or check card will be authorized for one month of service plus the applicable signup fee (if any), though your Payment Card will not be charged for the duration of the free trial period. Other terms of free trial offers, including duration of free trial, may vary. Specific details of your free trial not covered in this Agreement will be explained on the web page you land on prior to beginning the sign-up process or as part of the sign-up process. Your trial period begins the day you sign up for a membership. Upon completion of the free trial period, your subscription will renew automatically on a monthly basis regardless of the length of your free trial period. The first day following the expiration of your free trial period will be your anniversary date for billing purposes. Your Payment Method will be charged the signup fee (if any) and the recurring monthly membership fees on the day following the expiration of your free trial period unless you have chosen to cancel your subscription prior to the conclusion of the free trial period. YOU MUST CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION PRIOR TO THE END OF THE FREE TRIAL OFFER TO AVOID CHARGES TO YOUR PAYMENT METHOD. You will not receive any notification from us at the expiration of your free trial. Please note the expiration date of your free trial for your records. We may also offer free memberships ("free memberships") in our sole discretion.
