MARKET CREATIONS BILLING

Charges on your Account

Market Creations bills you through a secure payment gateway. You agree to pay Market Creations all charges at the prices then in effect for any Products ordered by you or other persons (including your agents) using your Account, and you authorize Market Creations to charge your chosen payment method (your "Payment Method") for such Products. You agree to make payment using that selected Payment Method. Charges on your Account will be summarized for you and sent by email to your nominated email address. Market Creations reserves the right to correct any errors or mistakes that it makes even if it has already requested or received payment.

YOU MUST PROVIDE CURRENT, COMPLETE AND ACCURATE INFORMATION FOR YOUR BILLING ACCOUNT IN ORDER TO RECEIVE THE PRODUCTS ORDERED. YOU MUST PROMPTLY UPDATE ALL INFORMATION TO KEEP YOUR BILLING ACCOUNT CURRENT, COMPLETE AND ACCURATE (SUCH AS A CHANGE IN BILLING ADDRESS, CREDIT CARD NUMBER, OR CREDIT CARD EXPIRATION DATE), AND YOU MUST PROMPTLY NOTIFY MARKET CREATIONS IF YOUR PAYMENT METHOD IS CANCELED (E.G., FOR LOSS OR THEFT) OR IF YOU BECOME AWARE OF A POTENTIAL BREACH OF SECURITY, SUCH AS THE UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OR USE OF YOUR USER NAME OR PASSWORD. CHANGES TO SUCH INFORMATION CAN BE MADE THROUGH ‘MY MEMBERS PAGE’. IF YOU FAIL TO PROVIDE MARKET CREATIONS ANY OF THE FOREGOING INFORMATION, YOU AGREE THAT MARKET CREATIONS MAY CONTINUE CHARGING YOU FOR ANY PRODUCT PROVIDED UNDER YOUR ACCOUNT UNLESS YOU HAVE TERMINATED YOUR SUBSCRIPTION FOR SUCH PRODUCT (CONFIRMED IN WRITING UPON REQUEST).

Currency exchange settlements will be based on your Payment Method and may be determined by agreements between you and the financial institution, credit card issuer or other provider of your chosen Payment Method (the "Payment Method Provider"). If Market Creations does not receive payment from your Payment Method Provider, you agree to pay all amounts due on your Account upon demand.

Your non-termination or continued use of the Products on your Account reaffirms that Market Creations is authorized to charge your Payment Method. Market Creations may submit those charges for payment and you will be responsible for such charges. Those submissions will not waive Market Creations' right to seek payment directly from you. Your charges may be payable in advance, in arrears, per usage, or as otherwise described when you initially ordered the applicable Product.

Refund Policies

Termination, Cancellation or Suspension

Market Creations may, in its discretion, terminate, cancel, or suspend an accepted order if Market Creations is notified that your Payment Method has expired or has been cancelled, or if Market Creations has reason to believe that any Account information provided to Market Creations is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete. Termination, cancellation or suspension, whether by you or Market Creations, will not alter your obligation to pay all charges made to your Account before such termination, cancellation or suspension (including charges made after termination by you but before Market Creations could reasonably act on your termination notice). You will not be entitled to any refunds upon termination, cancellation or suspension unless the applicable agreement expressly so provides.
