Sponge Club is not required, and may be prohibited, from disclosing a reason for the termination of your account. Even after your membership or subscription is terminated, this Agreement will remain in effect. All terms that by their nature may survive termination of this Agreement shall be deemed to survive such termination.
Sponge Club bills you through an online account (your “Billing Account”) for use of the Service. You agree to pay Sponge Club all charges at the prices then in effect for any use of the Service by you or other persons (including your agents) using your Billing Account, and you authorize Sponge Club to charge your chosen payment provider (your “Payment Method”) for the Service. You agree to make payment using that selected Payment Method. Sponge Club reserves the right to correct any errors or mistakes that it makes even if it has already requested or received payment.
Sponge Club’s subscription plans to the Service consist of an initial period, for which there is a one-time charge, followed by recurring period charges as agreed to by you. By entering into this Agreement, you acknowledge that your subscription has an initial and recurring payment feature and you accept responsibility for all recurring charges prior to cancellation. Sponge Club may submit periodic charges (e.g. monthly) without further authorization from you, until you provide prior notice (confirmed in writing by Sponge Club) that you have terminated this authorization or wish to change your payment method. Such notice will not affect charges submitted before Sponge Club could reasonably act. You may change your payment method or cancel your paid membership in your account settings. For your convenience, Sponge Club takes your payment information so that your Sponge Club membership will not be interrupted. Sponge Club auto-renews your membership at the level you selected. Your Sponge Club subscription will be automatically extended for successive renewal periods of the same duration as the subscription term originally selected, at the then-current non-promotional subscription rate (if applicable). To cancel, simply log into your account and follow the instructions for cancellation. Please note that you will not be eligible for a prorated refund of any portion of the subscription fee paid for the then-current subscription period.
YOU MUST PROVIDE CURRENT, COMPLETE AND ACCURATE INFORMATION FOR YOUR BILLING ACCOUNT. 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 SPONGE CLUB 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 AT ACCOUNT SETTINGS. IF YOU FAIL TO PROVIDE SPONGE CLUB ANY OF THE FOREGOING INFORMATION, YOU AGREE THAT SPONGE CLUB MAY CONTINUE CHARGING YOU FOR ANY USE OF THE SERVICE UNDER YOUR BILLING ACCOUNT UNLESS YOU HAVE TERMINATED YOUR SUBSCRIPTION FOR THE SERVICE (CONFIRMED BY YOU IN WRITING UPON REQUEST BY SPONGE CLUB).
The terms of your payment 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.
Your non-termination or continued use of the Service reaffirms that Sponge Club is authorized to charge your Payment Method. Sponge Club may submit those charges for payment and you will be responsible for such charges. This does not waive Sponge Club’s 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 subscribed to the Service.
If you elect to make a purchase, your total price will include the price of the product plus any applicable shipping costs and sales tax. The shipping costs will depend on your shipping address and the weight of your package; sales tax will depend on both your shipping address and the sales tax rate in effect at the time you make a purchase.
