For questions about your DDC subscription, please contact us at support@digitaldanceculture.com. Please include your name and username in all correspondence.
1. Payment Obligation and Credit Card Authorization.
You are responsible for paying any and all charges relating to your Premium Service account, including without limitation, periodic subscription fees (the initial fee and automatic renewals). You grant DDC permission to charge your credit card (or other approved facility) to pay for all such charges. The subscription fee will be billed at the beginning of your subscription and on each annual, quarterly or monthly renewal thereafter, dependent on the original subscription term selected at registration, unless you cancel at least 10 days prior to the renewal date pursuant to the process set forth below.
2. Renewal and Cancellation of Your Subscription.
You grant DDC permission to automatically renew your subscription and charge your account up to five (5) days prior to the day on which your subscription is scheduled to end. However, you may “opt out” of this automatic renewal by notifying The Support Center (support@digitaldanceculture.com) and canceling on your own or by using our online form to notify DDC. DDC will cancel your account upon receipt of such notification from you. All fees, charges and sales are final. Once charged to your credit card, the payments are nonrefundable, except in cases of demonstrated fraud, which will be determined at DDC’s sole discretion. You acknowledge that canceling your subscription will not immediately terminate access to the Premium Services. Your subscription will remain open until the paid period expires. You acknowledge and agree that the authorization to charge your credit card or other payment mechanism for the Premium Services shall automatically transfer to any successors or assigns of the Premium Service for substantially similar services at the same website. You may not assign or transfer your subscription to any other person or entity. You must be at least 18 years old (or have the permission of a credit card holder who is) to subscribe for Premium Services.
Payment must be made by a major credit card accepted by DDC, check, PayPal, or money order (U.S. dollars only). If DDC does not receive payment from the credit card issuer or its agent, you agree to pay all amounts due upon our demand. Your card issuer agreement governs your use of your designated card in connection with the Premium Service, and you must refer to that agreement and not the User Agreement to determine your rights and liabilities as a cardholder. YOU, AND NOT DDC, ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING ANY AMOUNTS BILLED TO YOUR CREDIT CARD BY A THIRD PARTY EVEN IF THEY WERE NOT AUTHORIZED BY YOU.
DDC RESERVES THE RIGHT, AT ANY TIME, TO CHANGE ITS FEES AND BILLING METHODS, INCLUDING THE ADDITION OF SUPPLEMENTAL FEES OR SEPARATE CHARGES FOR CONTENT, OR SERVICES PROVIDED BY DDC, EFFECTIVE THIRTY (30) DAYS AFTER AN ONLINE POSTING AT DDC. UPG MAY ADDITIONALLY PROVIDE NOTICE OF BILLING CHANGES VIA EMAIL.If any such
change is unacceptable to you, you may cancel your Subscription Service by notifying The Support Center (support@digitaldanceculture.com). However, canceling will not immediately terminate access to your Premium Service account and DDC will not refund the remaining portion of your subscription. The subscription will remain open until the paid period expires. YOUR CONTINUED USE OF THE PREMIUM SERVICE FOLLOWING THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF A CHANGE TO SUCH FEES AND BILLING METHODS SHALL CONSTITUTE YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF SUCH CHANGE. DDC IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR FAILURE TO CANCEL YOUR SUBCRIPTION EITHER IN WRITING BY EMAIL, FAX, OR LETTER ON OR THROUGH THE WEB SITE. YOU AGREE AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT DDC SHALL NOT BE REPONSIBLE FOR ANY ADJUSTMENTS, REFUNDS OR ACCOUNT OVERSIGHTS THAT YOU HAVE NOT SUBMITTED TO DDC THROUGH THE SUPPORT CENTER WITHIN 60 DAYS OF SUCH OCCURANCE OR LACK THEREOF.
There shall be no refunds, except in demonstrated cases of credit card fraud (as determined by DDC at its sole discretion) or under the terms agreed to when purchasing a product or service as agreed to during the payment process. You understand and agree that as a result of processing a refund DDC incurs certain administrative costs, and that the fees below are a fair and accurate assessment of those costs.
Should a refund be permitted, all refunds (except those due to demonstrated instances of credit card fraud) are subject to a “restocking” fee (which also applies to digital products), currently as follows:
• Subscriptions: $5 per charge refunded
• Digital Retail: 10% of the purchase price
3. Termination of Your Subscription.
You acknowledge that DDC, in its sole discretion, may terminate your ID, password, account (or any part thereof) or use of the Premium Service for a variety of reasons, including, without limitation, if DDC believes that you have violated or acted inconsistently with the letter or spirit of the User Agreement or any other agreement referred to in the User Agreement. DDC may also, in its sole discretion, at any time discontinue providing the Premium Service, or any part thereof, with or without notice. You agree that any termination of your access to the Premium Service under any provision of the User Agreement may be effected without prior notice, and acknowledge and agree that UPG may immediately deactivate or delete your account and/or bar any further access to the Premium Service. If your account is terminated by DDC, it will not be automatically renewed and access will be terminated, without refund. Further, you agree that DDC shall not be liable to you or any third-party for termination of your access to the Premium Service.
YOU AGREE AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT UPG SHALL NOT REPONSIBLE FOR ANY ADJUSTMENTS, REFUNDS OR ACCOUNT OVERSIGHTS PAST THE 60th DAY OF SUCH OCCURANCE OR LACK THEREOF.
4. Trial Memberships.
DDC occasionally offers promotional trial memberships to its Premium Services at special discounted prices. If you sign up for a trial membership, you will be automatically renewed at the normal subscription rate for the Premium Service at the end of the trial period, unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the trial. You must cancel prior to the end of your trial to avoid charges to your credit card. We will continue to bill your credit card for the Premium Service at the standard Premium Service rate and renewal term thereafter, dependent on the original subscription term selected at registration, until you cancel. For information about canceling your subscription, contact our Support Center at support@digitaldanceculture.com.
5. Subscriber Information.
You agree to provide and maintain true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself as prompted by the Premium Service registration process. You must promptly inform DDC of any of the following: changes in the expiration date of any credit card used in connection with the Premium Service; changes in home or billing address; and apparent breaches of security, such as loss, theft, or unauthorized disclosure or use of an ID or password. You agree to notify DDC immediately upon learning of any potential breach of your Premium Service account.
