SECTION 16 – USER ACCOUNT COSTS
We reserve the right to charge for certain or all Services in the future. We will notify you before any Services you are then using begin carrying a fee, and if you wish to continue using such Services, you must pay all applicable fees for such Services.
A legally authorized representative of the Institution may elect to continue on a paid subscription (the “Subscription”). The Subscription cost is based on the number of active users, increments of 25. Subscription length (“Subscription Term”) is charged monthly or annually.
Subscriptions automatically renew following the initial (and any renewal) Subscription Term, unless you notify us no later than 30 days prior to the end of any applicable Subscription Term (the “Non-Renewal Period”) that you do not want to renew. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing between the parties, Subscription Fees for any renewal Subscription Term will be due thirty (30) days after the start of the applicable renewal Subscription Term.
If you have chosen to be invoiced, your invoice will be sent prior to any applicable payment due dates, but will be due and payable on the dates set forth in the Payment Schedule or, if a renewal Subscription Term, as described in the paragraph above. If you have provided us with a credit card or ACH details, we will charge the applicable account on each due date set forth in the Payment Schedule. If you have provided us inaccurate or inadequate payment information (including by providing us with a bad check), we will not be able to complete your transaction, and your account may be suspended until we have received payment in full.
To request a change in number of active users or subscription length, a legally authorized institutional representative of the institutional must make the request through their EdBrite administrator account. Institutions will be required to pay the difference between the more-expensive Subscription and your then-current Subscription, pro-rated for the amount of time remaining in your then-current Subscription Term. Your subscription will renew for the next Subscription Term at the updated rate.
The features of the Services may change from time to time. In certain circumstances, including if the features of the Services are modified in a manner that materially adversely affects your use thereof, you may be entitled to a refund; refunds will only be granted as described herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you understand that EdBrite may freely modify the features of any Subscription and the Subscription Fees applicable to any Subscription between Subscription Terms. If EdBrite provides you notice of such changes after the end of the Non-Renewal Period for the then-current Subscription Term (which may be provided via the Services or via email), and if you do not approve of such modifications, you may (as your sole remedy and Alma’s sole liability) provide EdBrite notice of your intent not to renew for the next Subscription Term within thirty (30) days of receipt of such notice form EdBrite.
