We reserve the right, without prior notice, to suspend, modify or terminate access to any and all parts of the Site and/or Service at any time for any reason and at our sole discretion. You agree that Company will not be liable to you or any third party for any modification, suspension or termination of the Service or for any loss of data, Client Information, or personal settings or any foreseeable or unforeseeable damages related thereto..

(b) After the initial free trial period, if any, the Account Owner shall be required to purchase an annual Subscription to the Service at the then-current rate, the Subscription Fee (plus any taxes, as applicable). To the extent that any taxes are subsequently assessed against the Subscription Fee that are not initially collected by us, the Account Owner agrees to pay these taxes. Additional fees may be required for access to and use of Third Party Services. All Subscriptions have a term of twelve (12) months, regardless of whether the Subscription Fee is paid annually or in installments, if available. If an Account Owner pays for a Subscription by credit card, we will automatically charge that credit card for the next billing period approximately three (3) days prior to the end of the current billing period. If the credit card information associated with your Account is no longer valid, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify the Account Owner and to request manual payment with a valid credit card.

(c) Subscriptions will automatically renew for an additional twelve (12) month term, at then-current rates, at the end of each annual term unless the Account Owner gives timely notice of non-renewal. If an Account Owner pays for a Subscription by credit card, we will automatically charge that credit card for the first billing period of the renewal term approximately three (3) days prior to the end of the current term. Account Owners may notify us at any time prior to that time if they want their Subscription(s) to lapse and not renew at the end of the current term. Section 15 will not apply to such notice, which may be given by telephone or e-mail. Once any portion of the Subscription Fee has been paid, we will only cancel the Subscription and refund any portion of the Subscription fee paid if the Account Owner sends a written request for a refund to support@moneyguidepro.com within ten (10) days after the renewal date. All refunds are subject to processing fee of ten percent (10%) of the refunded sought, which will be deducted from the amount to be refunded. You agree that upon termination, we may, but are not required to, delete all information related to your Account.

(d) Account Owners may upgrade their Subscriptions to a higher priced configuration of the same Service at any time. In such event, the Subscription Start Date for the new Service will become the new Billing Date. We will credit the unexpired portion of the current Subscription Fee toward the annual fee for the new Service, and the Account Owner agrees to pay us the remaining balance in lump sum or installments, if available. We will issue a credit for a full month of Service only if there are more than 15 unexpired Subscription days in the month. Account Owners may only downgrade their Subscriptions to a lower priced configuration of a Service on the annual renewal date.

(e) You agree to provide accurate and complete information when prompted to do so by any registration form and to maintain and update such information (including credit card information) so it remains accurate and complete.

These notices may include information regarding updates to the Service or information pertaining to your Subscription, including information about onboarding, training, renewal and Subscription Fees that may be due.

16. Arbitration and Choice of Law.

The Terms of Service shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia (without regard to provisions relating to conflicts of law), except as to copyright and trademark matters, which are covered by federal laws. You agree that any legal action or proceeding between the Company and you for any purpose concerning these Terms of Service or the parties' obligations hereunder shall be resolved individually, without resort to any form of class action. Except with regard to actions for enforcement or protection of Company's intellectual property rights, equitable relief or any action necessary to enforce the award of an arbitrator, any dispute or controversy arising out of or relating to this Terms of Service or your use of the Site or Service shall be resolved by final and binding arbitration conducted in accordance with and subject to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") then applicable. One arbitrator will be selected by mutual agreement of the parties or, failing that, by the AAA. The arbitrator may allow such discovery as is appropriate, consistent with the purposes of arbitration in accomplishing fair, speedy and cost effective resolution of disputes. The arbitrator will reference the rules of evidence of the Federal Rules of Evidence then in effect in setting the scope of discovery, except that no requests for admissions will be permitted and interrogatories will be limited to identifying (a) persons with knowledge of relevant facts and (b) expert witnesses and their opinions and the bases therefore. Judgment upon the award rendered in any such arbitration may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Any arbitration conducted pursuant to this Section 16 will take place in Powhatan County, Virginia. Other than those matters involving enforcement or protection of Company's intellectual property rights, equitable relief, or any action necessary to enforce the award of an arbitrator, the parties agree that the provisions of this Section 16 are a complete defense to any suit, action or other proceeding instituted in any court or before any administrative tribunal with respect to any jurisdiction or venue in any dispute. Any award entered by the arbitrator shall be final and judgment thereon may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recovery of costs, fees (including reasonable attorney's fees) and/or taxes paid or incurred in obtaining the award. For those matters involving enforcement or protection of Company's intellectual property rights, equitable relief or any action necessary to enforce the award of the arbitrator, a party shall have the right to institute an action in a court of proper jurisdiction. For all purposes of this Section 16, the parties consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the state courts located in Powhatan County, Virginia and the U. S. District Court of the Eastern District of Virginia (if permitted by law and a party elects to file an action in federal court). This choice of venue is intended by the parties to be mandatory and not permissive in nature, and to preclude the possibility of litigation between the parties with respect to, or arising out of, this Terms of Service in any jurisdiction other than that specified in this Section 16. Each party waives any right it may have to assert the doctrine of forum non conveniens or similar doctrine or theory or to object to venue with respect to any proceeding brought in accordance with this Section 16. No action, regardless of form, arising out of this Terms of Service, may be brought by either party more than one (1) year after the cause of action has arisen.

The Terms of Service shall be construed as to its fair meaning and not strictly for or against either party. Any failure by us to insist upon or enforce strict performance of any provision of these Terms of Service shall not be construed as a waiver of any provision or right. Neither the course of conduct between the parties nor trade practice shall act to modify any provision of these Terms of Service. If any provision hereof shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable, then such provision shall be reformed to the extent necessary to make such provision valid and enforceable when so applied. We may assign our rights and duties under these Terms of Service to any party at any time without notice to you. You may not assign any rights or duties under these Terms of Service to any party without our prior written consent, which we may withhold in our sole discretion.
