4. SUBSCRIPTIONS; BECOMING A PREMIUM SERVICE USER
Our Services consist of a free, limited version Mobile App (“Basic Service”) and premium products with differing functionality based on the subscription level (“Premium Service”). Premium Service typically requires a fee, which is either paid (i) by the user (“Personal Premium Service”) or (ii) by a third party on behalf of the user (“Business Premium Service”). You do not have to become a Premium Service user to use the Services. However, if you are not a Premium Service user, you may be precluded from using certain portions, components, content, features, or resources of our Services. We reserve the right to eliminate or modify any or all of the functionality of the Basic Service at any time without any prior notice to you.
Whether or not you use the Basic Service or the Premium Service, you are responsible for all charges and fees associated with connecting to and using the Website and/or Mobile App, including without limitation all telephone access lines (including mobile data and data roaming charges, when applicable), telephone and/or internet service provider fees, telephone and computer equipment, sales taxes and any other fees and charges necessary to access our Website and/or Mobile App.
5. FEES, RENEWAL, CANCELLATIONS & REFUND POLICIES
If you are a subscriber to our Premium Service, you further agree as follows:
a. Agreement to Pay.
(i) Personal Premium Service. If you are a Personal Premium Service User, you will be responsible for the fixed and periodic charges and fees (including prepayment plan fees for multiple periods or recurring monthly fees) you selected at the time of subscription. Applicable taxes, and other charges and fees incurred in order to access the Premium Services may also apply.
(ii) Business Premium Service. Business Premium Services are generally purchased by our third party commercial customers (“Business Customers”) for a specified period, and a Business Customer generally provides you with a unique activation code that allows you to access certain Premium Service features purchased by such Business Customer for a specified period. In such instance, your access to Premium Service has been paid for by our Business Customer, and you will be able to use Business Premium Service features until the expiration of a specified term agreed between Scale App and such Business Customer.
b. Auto-Renewal. Unless your Premium Services have been paid for by one of our Business Customers, your Premium Service membership will automatically be extended for successive renewal periods of the same duration selected at the time of your purchase, at the then-current non-promotional subscription rate. Until you cancel, we will charge or debit your payment method at the beginning of your subscription. Your non-cancellation of the Premium Services or continued use of the paid subscription features of the Premium Service will reaffirm that we are authorized to charge you. If your credit or debit account has been closed or your payment method is otherwise invalid, your subscription may not renew and your subscription will be automatically downgraded to the Basic Service effective as of the end of your current billing cycle. The renewal charge will generally be the same as the prior period’s charge, unless we notify you in advance at the time of sign up or prior to the beginning of the renewal period as described above. If (i) you purchased a multiple-period prepayment plan or (ii) you were eligible for a promotional rate but are no long eligible for that rate, then your subscription will be offered to renew your subscription at our then-current non-promotional subscription rates at the start of the renewal period. If you wish to renew and we are currently offering promotional rates at such time, you must renew your subscription prior to the termination of your current plan. If you fail to renew your subscription for any Premium Services before its scheduled expiration date, then the then-current non-promotional subscription rate will apply.
c. Cancellation of Personal Premium Service Subscription. You can cancel your subscription for our Premium Services at any time by contacting your coach directly (more on how to cancel here), or by such other means as we may provide from time to time. We will attempt to process all cancellation requests within 72 hours after we receive your request. We reserve the right to collect fees, surcharges, or costs incurred before your cancellation takes effect. If you terminate your paid subscription for Premium Service, your subscription will remain active until the end of your then-current subscription period.
d. No Refund Policy.
(i) All fees and charges assessed by Scale App are non-refundable.
(ii) If you choose to cancel your subscription within your trial period, you will not be charged. Your Premium Services will expire within four days from the cancel date, and your account will revert to Basic Services.
(iii) If you terminate your paid subscription for Premium Service after the trial period, your subscription will remain active until the end of your subscription period, and no subsequent charges will be processed.
e. Membership through Business Customers. For Business Premium Services users, the Business Customer paying for your Business Premium Service subscription controls such an account (which may be different from your personal account) and may terminate your access to it. You agree that we will not be liable to you or any third-party for any termination or cancellation of your access to, or use of, our Premium Services that were originally provided to you by such Business Customer. If your had Business Premium Service subscriptions paid through a Business Customer but you are no longer eligible to receive such benefit from the Business Customer, it is also possible that your Business Premium Service account will terminate with us, and you will have to sign up for a new account.
f. Modifications. We reserve the right to revise the terms of the fee charge, cancellation and refund policies, upon reasonable advance notice communicated to you through a posting on the Website and/or Mobile App or such other means as we may deem appropriate from time to time (including electronic mail or conventional mail). Any changes made will apply to all memberships created or renewed after the date such change was implemented.
