Bigdelta requires payment of Fees for use of the Services (or certain portions thereof) and Company agrees to pay such Fees.
2.a General.
Whether Company makes a one-time payment or purchases a Subscription (each, a “Transaction”), Company expressly authorizes Bigdelta (or Bigdelta’s third-party payment processor) to charge Company for such Transaction. Bigdelta may ask Company to supply additional information relevant to its Transaction, including Company’s credit card number, the expiration date of Company’s credit card and Company’s email and postal addresses for billing and notification (such information, “Payment Information”).

Company may need to provide additional information to verify its identity before completing Company’s Transaction (such information is included within the definition of Payment Information). By initiating a Transaction, Company agrees to the pricing, payment and billing policies applicable to such fees and charges, as posted or otherwise communicated to Company. All payments for Transactions are non-refundable and non-transferable except as expressly provided in these Terms. All payments shall be paid in U.S. dollars.

If Company purchases a subscription for the Services (“Subscription”), Company will be charged and agrees to pay the annual or monthly Subscription fee (as applicable), plus any applicable taxes, and other charges (“Subscription Fee”), at the beginning of Company’s Subscription and each year or month thereafter (as applicable), at the then-current Subscription Fee. Company’s Subscription continues until canceled by Company or Bigdelta terminates Company’s access to or use of the Services or the Subscription in accordance with these Terms. In the event Company’s Subscription begins on a day not contained in a later month, Company’s payment method will be charged on such other day as Bigdelta deems appropriate. For example, if Company started a monthly Subscription on January 31st, Company’s next payment date is likely to be February 28th, and Company’s payment method would be billed on that date.
2.c Canceling a Subscription.
Company may cancel its Subscription at any time but please note that such cancellation will only be effective at the end of the then-current subscription period.

Company will be responsible for all Subscription Fees incurred for the then-current Subscription period. Canceling Company’s Subscription will not terminate Company’s account. See Section 6 (Termination and Effect of Termination) below for information on terminating Company’s account.
