    2. Billing Date. Billing for User’s Subscription Fee will occur once per Billing Period on User’s Billing Date. On the Billing Date, SRECTrade shall issue an Invoice and Bill User’s Payment Method for the current Billing Period (First Attempt). If Payment of the Bill is successful, User will receive email confirmation that the Subscription Fee for the Billing Period has been paid. If User’s Payment Method fails due to insufficient funds, fraud, credit card expiration or otherwise, User will receive an email notification that its Payment Method failed, and that a Second Attempt to collect Payment will be made seven (7) days after the Billing Date. During this period, User will be Locked out of its Subscription until a corrected or new Payment Method is provided, and the outstanding Payment is made. User will be able to log into its Account to correct or update its Payment Method information so that SRECTrade may re-attempt to collect Payment on the date that a Payment Method is updated, and on subsequent attempts.
    3. Second Attempt following Failed Payment. If User’s Payment Method fails on the Billing Date, SRECTrade shall make a Second Attempt to collect Payment for the Subscription Fee seven (7) days after the Billing Date. If User’s Payment Method fails on the Second Attempt, User will receive an email notification that its Payment Method failed, and that a Third Attempt to collect Payment will be made seven (7) days following the Second Attempt. During this period, User will remain Locked out of its Subscription until a corrected or new Payment Method is provided, and the outstanding Payment is made.

    4. Third Attempt following Failed Payment. If User’s Payment Method fails on the Second Attempt, SRECTrade shall make a Third Attempt to collect Payment for the Subscription Fee seven (7) days after the Second Attempt. If User’s Payment Method fails on the Third Attempt, User will receive an email notification that its Payment Method failed, and that a Fourth Attempt to collect Payment will be made seven (7) days following the Third Attempt. During this period, User will remain Locked out of its Subscription until a corrected or new Payment Method is provided, and the outstanding Payment is made. User will be able to log into its Account to correct or update its Payment Method information so that SRECTrade may re-attempt to collect Payment on the date that a Payment Method is updated, and on subsequent attempts.
    5. Fourth Attempt following Failed Payment. If User’s Payment Method fails on the Third Attempt, SRECTrade shall make a Fourth Attempt to collect Payment for the Subscription Fee seven (7) days after the Third Attempt. If User’s Payment Method fails on the Fourth Attempt, User will receive an email notification that its Payment Method failed, and User will remain Locked out of its Subscription until a corrected or new Payment Method is provided, and the outstanding Payment is made. User will be able to log into its Account to correct or update its Payment Method information so that SRECTrade may re-attempt to collect Payment on the date that a Payment Method is updated, and on subsequent attempts. If the Subscription Fee for the current Billing Period is unpaid after the Fourth Attempt, SRECTrade will automatically Cancel User’s Subscription on the subsequent Billing Date (which may be as soon as one (1) day after the Fourth Attempt).
    6. Locked Accounts; Regaining Access to Locked Account. If User’s Payment Method fails on any Attempt to collect Payment, SRECTrade will place a Lock on User’s Subscription until the outstanding Payment is made. The Lock will disable User from accessing its Subscription until the outstanding Payment is made. In order to have the Lock removed, User will be required to log into its Account and to enter a new or updated Payment Method. Once User has entered a new or updated Payment Method, SRECTrade will attempt to Bill for the outstanding Payment, pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof. If Payment is successful, SRECTrade shall Unlock User’s Account, and User will regain access to its Subscription. If the Subscription Fee for the current Billing Period is unpaid after the Fourth Attempt, SRECTrade will automatically Cancel User’s Subscription on the subsequent Billing Date (which may be as soon as one (1) day after the Fourth Attempt).
  4. No Refund; Billing Disputes. EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN THESE TERMS OF SERVICE, PAYMENTS FOR SUBSCRIPTION FEES ARE NON-REFUNDABLE, AND THERE ARE NO REFUNDS OR ACCOUNT CREDITS FOR PARTIALLY USED OR UNUSED PERIODS. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if User disputes any charges made on User’s Account, User shall inform SRECTrade of the dispute within sixty (60) calendar days of the applicable Billing Date.
  5. Account Credits. At any time, for any reason and at its sole and absolute discretion, SRECTrade may provide a reimbursement, discount, or other consideration to some or all of its Users (Credits). Such Credits are distinct from Refunds as the term is defined herein. The amount and form of such Credits are at the sole and absolute discretion of SRECTrade, and the provision of Credits in one instance does not obligate SRECTrade to provide Credits in the future, under any circumstance. Receipt of a Credit in one instance does not entitle User to future Credits, nor guarantee that such Credits will be offered in the future for similar instances.
  6. Outstanding Invoices; Past Due Subscription Fees.
    1. If User has an Outstanding Invoice following Cancelation of its Subscription (Subscription Fees due in a Billing Period for Services rendered in the previous Billing Period), SRECTrade reserves the right to Bill User’s Payment Method for the Outstanding Invoice on the Billing Date. If User’s Payment Method fails on the First Attempt, SRECTrade shall make a Second, Third, and Fourth Attempt to collect Payment, as such Attempts to collect Payment are defined herein. Upon each failed Attempt, User will receive an email notification that its Payment Method failed, and User will be required to log into its Account to correct or update its Payment Method information so that SRECTrade may re-attempt to collect Payment on subsequent Attempts.
    2. If User incurs any Past Due Subscription Fees, User’s Account will become a Delinquent Account. SRECTrade reserves the right to turn Delinquent Accounts over to collection agencies and/or report Past Due Invoices to credit bureaus, including but not limited to Experian, TransUnion and Equifax. If SRECTrade engages a collection agency or reports User’s debt to credit bureau(s), SRECTrade reserves the right to charge a processing fee of $25 or more, subject to the maximum processing fee allowed by law.

VI. Account Changes

  1. Upgrade. If User decides to Upgrade its Subscription Plan, User will immediately gain access to the Upgraded Subscription Plan. For the duration of the current Billing Period (that is, from the date of Upgrade until the next Billing Date), User will be charged a pro-rated Subscription Fee to account for access to the Upgraded Subscription Plan, but will also be Refunded a pro-rated portion of the Subscription Fee paid for the pre-Upgrade Subscription Plan. The pro-rated Subscription Fee and the pro-rated Refund will be applied to the subsequent Billing Period’s Invoice. Accordingly, the first Billing Date following the Upgrade will include the pro-rated Subscription Fee for the Billing Period in which User Upgraded, the Refund for the pro-rated Subscription Fee for the pre-Upgrade Subscription Plan, plus the full-rate Subscription Fee for the Upgraded Subscription Plan for the new Billing Period. Neither the Billing Date nor the Billing Period will change pursuant to when the Upgrade was completed.
  2. Downgrade. If User decides to Downgrade its Subscription Plan, User will retain access to its current (pre-Downgrade) Subscription Plan for the duration of the current Billing Period (that is, until the next Billing Date). EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN THESE TERMS OF SERVICE, PAYMENTS FOR SUBSCRIPTION FEES ARE NON-REFUNDABLE, AND THERE ARE NO REFUNDS OR ACCOUNT CREDITS FOR PARTIALLY USED OR UNUSED PERIODS. The Downgraded Subscription Plan will take effect on the first Billing Date following the Downgrade. Accordingly, User will be charged the Subscription Fee for the Downgraded Subscription Plan on the first Billing Date following the Downgrade. Neither the Billing Date nor the Billing Period will change pursuant to when the Downgrade was completed.
  3. Cancelation. Either User or SRECTrade may initiate Cancelation of a Subscription.
    1. If User Cancels its Subscription Plan, User will retain access to its current (pre-Cancelation) Subscription Plan for the duration of the current Billing Period (that is, until the next Billing Date). The Cancelation of User’s Subscription Plan will take effect on the first Billing Date following the Cancelation. EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN THESE TERMS OF SERVICE, PAYMENTS FOR SUBSCRIPTION FEES ARE NON-REFUNDABLE, AND THERE ARE NO REFUNDS OR ACCOUNT CREDITS FOR PARTIALLY USED OR UNUSED PERIODS. In the event that a User Upgrades during the current Billing Period and then Cancels its Subscription Plan prior to the subsequent Billing Date, User will still be charged the pro-rated Subscription Fee for access to the Upgraded Subscription Plan, on the subsequent Billing Date.
    2. Pursuant to the terms of Article 3.V hereof, SRECTrade shall make four attempts to Bill User for the Subscription Fee each Billing Period. If the Subscription Fee for the current Billing Period is unpaid after the Fourth Attempt, SRECTrade will automatically Cancel User’s Subscription on the subsequent Billing Date (which may be as soon as one (1) day after the Fourth Attempt). For the avoidance of doubt, if User’s Billing Date is the 2nd of the month, and User’s February Subscription Fee is unpaid after the Fourth Attempt to collect Payment, User’s Subscription will be Canceled on March 2nd, and User will no longer have a Subscription. In order to regain access to its Subscription, User will be required to re-enroll in a new Subscription. In this instance, User’s Billing Date will change to be the date of the re-enrollment for the new Subscription.
  4. Reinstatement. If User Cancels its Subscription Plan, User will have the option to request to be Reinstated to its current Subscription Plan such that the Cancelation will not take effect in the subsequent Billing Period. For the avoidance of doubt, because a Downgrade or Cancelation made during the current Billing Period will not take effect until the subsequent Billing Period, a Downgrade followed by a Cancelation that is then followed by a Reinstatement will not reinstate the Downgraded Subscription Plan, but will place the User back on its current Subscription Plan. On the other hand, because an Upgrade made during the current Billing Period takes effect immediately, an Upgrade followed by a Downgrade, which is then followed by a Cancelation, that is then followed by a Reinstatement will place the User back on the Upgraded Subscription Plan.
