(d) Use of the Services may require the use of certain third party products and services (” Third Party Services“). Use of any Third Party Services is at your sole risk and will be governed by separate terms and conditions, separate privacy policies relating to usage of data you may share through the Third Party Services in the course of using the Services, other applicable policies, and may include separate fees and charges. Causely may display content from third parties through the Services or may provide information about or links to Third Party Services. Your interactions with any such third parties, and any terms, conditions, warranties, or representations associated with such interactions, are solely between you and the applicable third parties.

You will provide complete and accurate information during the registration process and will update it to ensure it remains accurate.
(b) Some parts of the Services are billed on a Subscription basis. You will be billed on a recurring and periodic basis (“Billing Cycle”) with payment terms as set forth on the applicable order form. Billing cycles are set either on calendar month or annual basis, depending on the type of Subscription plan You select when purchasing a Subscription. At the end of each Billing Cycle, Your Subscription will automatically renew for additional successive periods of equal duration to the initial Subscription term unless You cancel it before the end of the then current Subscription period. If a free trial period applies to You, Your Subscription will be charged upon the expiration of any applicable free trial period.

You will be responsible for all taxes resulting from the performance of the Service other than taxes on Causely’s income. If all or any part of any payment owed to Causely under this Agreement is withheld, based upon a claim that such withholding is required pursuant to the tax laws of any country or its political subdivisions and/or any tax treaty between the U.S. and any such country, such payment shall be increased by the amount necessary to result in a net payment to Causely of the amounts otherwise payable under this Agreement. All fees paid or payable under this Agreement are non-refundable and Subscriptions are non-cancelable during the Subscription term. Causely may change its fees and payment terms at its discretion.
(f) Payments through Stripe. In order to make payments to Causely, You may be required to provide Your credit card details to Stripe.
