Upon cancellation, you will have access to the Paid Membership benefits until the end of the then-current Paid Membership term, and the Paid Membership will not be renewed after that term expires. You will not be eligible for a refund of any portion of the Paid Membership fees paid for the then-current Paid Membership term, except as expressly provided in these Terms of Use. Everything Marketplaces is not responsible for and will not reimburse any fees incurred by you from your bank or other financial institution, including without limitation overdraft charges, insufficient funds charges, interest charges, or finance charges, which may have occurred as a result of charges billed by Everything Marketplaces.

You agree to make no further use of the Service during suspension or after termination. Enforcement of the User Content rules set forth in these Terms of Use is solely and exclusively at Everything Marketplaces' discretion, and failure to enforce such rules in some instances does not constitute a waiver of Everything Marketplaces' right to enforce such rules in other instances.

12. Paid Memberships. Access to the Service requires a paid membership ("Paid Membership"). Upon registration for a Paid Membership, you agree to pay Everything Marketplaces the applicable membership fees at the prices then in effect, and you authorize Everything Marketplaces to charge your chosen payment method in connection therewith. Everything Marketplaces reserves the right to correct any payment errors even if it has already requested and/or received payment. Everything Marketplaces may use third-party payment processing services to process credit card payments and information in connection with the payment of membership fees and other amounts payable in connection with the Service. Further, Everything Marketplaces may offer limited-time, free trial memberships or other promotions from time to time. In some cases, which will be disclosed at the time of sign-up, these promotions may automatically convert to Paid Memberships if you do not cancel within a designated time frame. In such instances, if you continue your membership after the end of the free trial or promotional period, you will be charged the price then in effect. To avoid such charges, you must cancel your membership prior to the end of the free trial or promotional period through the Account Settings in your User Profile in the Site or by emailing contact@everythingmarketplaces.com.
13. Automatic Renewal and Cancellation. Paid Memberships will be automatically extended for successive renewal periods of the same duration as the Paid Membership term originally selected (as indicated at the time of sign-up). IF YOU SIGN UP FOR A PAID MEMBERSHIP, YOU AGREE THAT THE TERM OF SUCH PAID MEMBERSHIP WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY RENEWED AT THE END OF EACH TERM UNLESS AND UNTIL YOU CANCEL PRIOR TO THE END OF THE CURRENT TERM THROUGH THE ACCOUNT SETTINGS IN YOUR USER PROFILE IN THE SITE OR BY EMAILING CONTACT@EVERYTHINGMARKETPLACES.COM. At or near the time of each renewal, you authorize Everything Marketplaces to charge your selected payment method the then-current, applicable fee in accordance with the Paid Membership you selected. Upon cancellation, you will have access to the Paid Membership benefits until the end of the then-current Paid Membership term, and the Paid Membership will not be renewed after that term expires. You will not be eligible for a refund of any portion of the Paid Membership fees paid for the then-current Paid Membership term, except as expressly provided in these Terms of Use. Everything Marketplaces is not responsible for and will not reimburse any fees incurred by you from your bank or other financial institution, including without limitation overdraft charges, insufficient funds charges, interest charges, or finance charges, which may have occurred as a result of charges billed by Everything Marketplaces.
