Additionally, You shall not (directly or indirectly) or permit any third party to: (i) interfere or attempt to interfere with the proper working of the Website, the Services or any activities conducted by the access and/or use thereof; (ii) use any robot, spider, site search/retrieval application or other manual or automatic device to retrieve, index, “scrape”, “data mine” or in any way gather information, content or other materials from the Services or reproduce or circumvent the navigational structure or presentation of the Services; (iii) decipher, decompile, disassemble, reverse engineer or otherwise attempt to derive any source code or underlying ideas or algorithms of any part of the Services, except to the limited extent applicable laws specifically prohibit such restriction; (iv) use the Services, or any of Vsbl’ documentation or confidential information, to create any website, software, documentation or service that is similar, in whole or part, to any of the Services, any related software, or any documentation provided in connection therewith; (v) modify, translate, or otherwise create derivative works of any part of the Services; or (vi) copy, license, sublicense, sell, resell, encumber, rent, lease, time-share, distribute, transfer or otherwise use or exploit or make available any of the Services (including in any service bureau arrangement or otherwise) for the benefit of any third party without the prior written consent of Vsbl, unless otherwise expressly permitted by Your Plan.
- Fees and Payment
- Generally. Vsbl reserves the right to require payment of fees for certain or all Services. You shall pay all applicable fees, as described on the Website, within the Services, pursuant to Your Plan, and/or, if applicable, as mutually agreed upon by You and Vsbl, in connection with such Services (the “Fees”). Any Services not set forth in Your Plan or as otherwise mutually agreed upon by You and Vsbl may be subject to additional fees.
- Plan Limits. If You use any features that are only included in a Services plan that is higher-priced than Your Plan, or if You otherwise exceed the allowable limits of Your Plan, Vsbl reserves the right to automatically upgrade Your Plan to the appropriate higher-priced Services plan and charge You the applicable Fees for that Plan effective as of the date You use such feature(s) and/or exceed the limits of Your Plan. Vsbl may, but is not obligated to, contact You to warn You if You have exceeded the included features, limits or other terms of Your Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, You are solely responsible for reviewing the Website, Your use of the Services, and remaining aware of the limits of Your Plan.
- Monthly Plans: Upon signing up for any monthly Services plan, You will pay for the applicable plan subscription Fees up front by credit card. The first date of Your paid subscription term is Your “Subscription Start Date,” and You will be responsible to pay the applicable subscription Fees for Your Plan on that date. Your initial subscription term will run for a period of one (1) month from Your Subscription Start Date. Thereafter, Your subscription will automatically renew for successive one (1)-month periods, and you shall be responsible to pay the Fees, on each monthly anniversary of Your Subscription Start Date (each a “Monthly Subscription Billing Date”) (or the last calendar day of a given month if Your Monthly Subscription Billing Date does not occur in that month), unless You cancel Your subscription through Your Services account prior to the end of the then-current subscription term. To clarify, if Your Subscription Start Date is on the 15th day of a given month, Your Monthly Subscription Billing Date for each subsequent renewal term will be the 15th of each month. If, however, Your Subscription Start Date is on the 31st day of a given month, and the next subsequent month has only thirty (30) days, Your Monthly Subscription Billing Date for that given month will be the 30th instead. You may upgrade or downgrade Your Plan at any time through Your Services account. Any such change in Your Plan made by You through Your Services account will take effect immediately, and You will be promptly charged a pro rata amount for any increase in the applicable Fees for Your newly elected Plan (i.e., an amount equal to Your Plan’s current remaining partial and/or unused day(s) at the applicable Fee level for the newly selected Plan, less the Fee already paid for Your original Plan) on the next available billing date. Any change in Your Plan will not, however, change Your Monthly Subscription Billing Date. Thereafter, You will be charged the new Fees on Your Monthly Subscription Billing Date for each subsequent renewal term.
- Annual Plans: Upon subscribing to an annual Services plan, You will pay for the applicable plan subscription Fees up front by credit card. Your initial subscription term will run for a period of one (1)-year from Your Subscription Start Date. Thereafter, if applicable (as described in the Services or as otherwise communicated to You by Us, and unless otherwise agreed by You and Us), Your subscription will automatically renew for successive one (1)-year periods, and You will be charged the Fees, on each annual anniversary of Your Subscription Start Date (each an “Annual Subscription Billing Date”), unless You cancel Your subscription through Your Services account prior to the end of the then-current subscription term. You may upgrade or downgrade Your Plan at any time through Your Services account. Any such change in Your Plan made by You through Your Services account will take effect immediately, and You will be promptly charged a pro rata amount for any increase in the applicable Fees for Your newly elected Plan (i.e., an amount equal to Your Plan’s current remaining partial and/or unused month(s) at the applicable Fee level for the newly selected Plan, less the Fee already paid for Your original Plan) on the next available billing date pursuant to the payment terms set forth above. Any change in Your Plan will not, however, change the term of your Annual Subscription Billing Date. Thereafter, you will be billed the new Fees on Your Annual Subscription Billing Date for each subsequent renewal term.
- Changes; Payments; Taxes. We reserve the right to change Our Fees and to institute new charges at any time (including, for clarity, for any subscription renewal), upon notice to You, which may be sent by email or posted on the Website or in the Services. Your use of the Services following such notification constitutes Your acceptance of any new or increased Fees. All payments shall be made in U.S. Dollars and, when paid, are non-cancelable, non-contingent and non-refundable, except as otherwise provided herein. We are not responsible for any additional bank fees, interest charges, finance charges, over draft charges, or other fees arising from or related to charges billed by Us. All payments hereunder are exclusive of federal, state, local and foreign taxes, duties, tariffs, levies, withholdings and similar assessments (including without limitation, sales taxes, use taxes and value added taxes), and You agree to bear and be responsible for the payment of all such amounts, excluding taxes based upon Vsbl’ net income. All amounts due hereunder shall be grossed-up for any withholding taxes imposed by any foreign government.
- Billing and Payment Information. Unless otherwise agreed by You and Vsbl, in order to sign up for a Services account, You must provide Vsbl with accurate and complete billing information including entity legal name, address, state, zip code (if applicable), telephone number, and a valid credit card. By submitting such credit card information, You give Vsbl permission to charge all Fees incurred through Your account to the designated credit card. Vsbl reserves the right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 13 hereof if Customer does not provide a valid credit card or pay invoices timely for the payment of Fees hereunder.
- Refunds
Except as expressly provided below in this Section, or as otherwise agreed to by Vsbl in its sole discretion, there are no refunds or credits for partial subscription terms of Services, upgrades or downgrades, or unused subscription terms. If You have subscribed and paid for Your Plan and Vsbl terminates Your account as permitted in Section 13 below for no reason (for clarity, excluding any termination for breach or other reason permitted in this Agreement), a portion of the amount You have paid that is attributable to the post-termination period on a pro rata basis will be refunded.

In addition, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail over any additional or different provisions in any purchase order, acceptance notice, other similar document issued by You, which provisions shall be of no force or effect. No agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment is created as a result of this Agreement and You do not have any authority of any kind to bind Vsbl in any respect whatsoever. Headings for each section have been included herein for Your convenience, but such headings do not have any legal meaning, and may not accurately reflect the content of the provisions they precede.
