If you will be using the Services on behalf of a company or organization, you agree to these Terms on behalf for that company or organization and you represent that you have the authority to do so. In such case, "you" and "your" will refer to that company or organization.

  1. FEES AND PAYMENTS
    1. Fees for Services. We offer different kind of Services with different kind of rate and fees. We provide our customers an ample of time to decide to keep the Services for a fee. We offer a 15-day preview period for a one-time fee of $ 5.00 for our basic Services and $ 49.95 monthly subscription fee, if you decide to keep the Services after the 15-day preview period. You agree to pay to Biz Local Finder any fees for each Service you purchase or use (including any overage fees), in accordance with the pricing and payment terms presented to you for that Service. Where applicable, you will be billed using the billing method you select through your account management page. If you have elected to pay the fees by credit card, you represent and warrant that the credit card information you provide is correct and you will promptly notify Biz Local Finder of any changes to such information. Fees paid by you are non-refundable, except as provided in these Terms or when required by law.
    2. Subscriptions.Our Services are billed on a subscription basis (we call these "Subscriptions"). This means that you will be billed in advance on a recurring, periodic basis (each period is called a "billing cycle"). Billing cycles are typically monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annually, depending on what subscription plan you select when purchasing a Subscription. Your Subscription will automatically renew at the end of each billing cycle unless you cancel auto-renewal through your online account management page or by sending us an email to support@bizlocalfinder.com or by calling us (888) 864-8805. While we will be sad to see you go, you may cancel auto-renewal on your Subscription at any time, in which case your Subscription will continue until the end of that billing cycle before terminating. You may cancel auto-renewal on your Subscription immediately after the Subscription starts if you do not want it to renew.
    3. Taxes. Unless otherwise stated, you are responsible for any taxes (other than Biz Local Finder income tax) or duties associated with the sale of the Services, including any related penalties or interest (collectively, "Taxes"). You will pay Biz Local Finder for the Services without any reduction for Taxes. If Biz Local Finder is obliged to collect or pay Taxes, the Taxes will be invoiced to you, unless you provide Biz Local Finder with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority or other documentation providing evidence that no tax should be charged.
    4. Price Changes. Biz Local Finder may change the fees charged for the Services at any time, provided that, for Services billed on a subscription basis, the change will become effective only at the end of the then-current billing cycle of your Subscription. Biz Local Finder will provide you with reasonable prior written notice of any change in fees to give you an opportunity to cancel your Subscription before the change becomes effective.
    5. Overage Fees. Unless otherwise stated, any overage fees incurred by you will be billed in arrears. Overage fees which remain unpaid for thirty (30) days after being billed are considered overdue. Failure to pay overage fees when due may result in the applicable Service being limited, suspended, or terminated (subject to applicable legal requirements), which may result in a loss of your data associated with that Service.

    1. Cancellation. You may cancel your Services at any time through your online account management page or by sending us an email to support@bizlocalfinder.com or by calling us at (888) 864-8805.

You may also cancel your Subscription during your 15-day preview period to avoid any monthly subscription fee.
    2. Refund. We provide refunds in a case-by-case basis and if required by law. You are eligible for a refund if you cancel your Subscription within your billing cycle or after 7-days of your billing cycle.
