Premium Membership Terms of Service
storytelling with data (SWD) allows you to access certain premium features or content in exchange for a one-time or recurring fee, as applicable (the “Premium Member Services”). Your transactions and any other use of the Premium Member Services are subject to these SWD Premium Membership Terms of Service (“Premium Membership Terms of Service”). By using the Premium Member Services, you agree to the Premium Membership Terms of Service. Please read the Terms carefully. If you don’t understand them or don’t accept any part of them, then you’re not allowed to use the Premium Member Services.
Fees. Subscription fees for the Premium Member Services are recurring payments (unless identified as otherwise). The term may be monthly or annual, as described in the course of the transaction. Your subscription begins upon payment of a first installment of subscription fees. The subscription renews monthly or annually as applicable upon the payment of automatically recurring subscription fees. Monthly or annual fees are charged on the same day of the month that the subscription began. If a monthly subscription began on the 29th, 30th, or 31st day of a month, then membership will renew on the last day of any month that doesn’t have that many days.
Payment. SWD accepts payment via the current payment method indicated at the time of purchase, which may include credit card and any other form of payment that we make available to you from time to time. You agree to abide by any relevant Terms of Service or other legal agreement whether with SWD, Stripe, Google, PayPal or another third party that governs your use of a given payment processing method. Prices for Premium Member Services may change at any time, and SWD does not provide price protection or refunds in the event of a price reduction or promotional offering. You agree to pay for any Premium Member Services that you order (except during any granted free periods). SWD will charge your credit card or other form of payment for the price listed on the relevant Premium Member Services offer, along with any additional amounts related to applicable taxes, bank fees and currency fluctuations. If you purchase any automatically renewing subscriptions, you agree that SWD will charge the payment method on the first day of each billing period for the relevant subscription, and if the payment method on file becomes invalide due to an expired credit card or other similar reason and we are unable to charge you on the next billing period, SWD reserves the right to immediately revoke your access to any Premium Member Services you have ordered until you update your payment method. If you fail to update your payment method within a reasonable amount of time, SWD may cancel your subscription.
Taxes. If SWD is required to collect or pay any taxes in connection with your purchase of Premium member Services, such taxes will be charged to you at the time of each purchase transaction or other appropriate time as applicable. Additionally, if required by law, you are responsible for reporting and paying certain taxes in connection with your purchase and use of Premium Member Services. Such taxes may include duties, customs fees, or other taxes (other than income tax), along with any related penalties or interest, as applicable to your purchase or country of purchase.
Cancellations and refunds. You can cancel your Premium Member Services at any time. If you purchase a subscription to Premium Member Services that automatically renews, you may cancel the subscription at any time before the end of the current billing period and the cancellation will take effect on the next billing period, except as otherwise communicated to you by SWD. You will retain access to the Premium Member Services from the time you cancel until the start of the next billing period, and will not receive a refund or credit for any remaining days in your current billing period. Subscription fees paid are final and nonrefundable, unless otherwise determined by SWD. If SWD reasonably determines that a user has violated these Premium Membership Terms of Services, SWD may immediately terminate the subscription and the user’s access to Premium Member Services without notice and without refund. Refund requests should be directed to support@storytellingwithdata.com.
Free trials. SWD may offer free trials to new Premium Member Service subscribers. If you initiate a subscription to Premium Member Services through a free trial offer, you will receive free access to such Premium Member Services for the duration of the free trial period. At the end of the applicable free trial period, you will be charged the price of the subscription and will continue to be charged until you cancel your subscription. To avoid any charges, you must cancel before the end of the free trial period.
License. Your use of the Premium Member Services must be only for personal, non-commercial use. You agree not to use any Premium Member Service, in whole or part in connection with any public presentation even if no fee is charged (except where such use would not constitute a copyright infringement). You are receiving a non-exclusive license to access the Premium Member Services and all rights, title, and interest in the Premium Member Services (including any content offered through the Premium Member Services) not expressly granted to you in these Terms are reserved by SWD and its licensors. If SWD reasonably determines that you violated any part of the Premium Membership Terms of Service, your rights under this Section will immediately terminate and SWD may terminate your access to the Premium Member Services and/or your community account without notice and without refund to you.
