Mylibsyn Subscription Terms of Service
THE LEGAL AGREEMENTS SET OUT BELOW GOVERN YOUR USE OF THE MYLIBSYN SUBSCRIPTION SERVICES. TO AGREE TO THESE TERMS, CLICK or CHECK “AGREE” IN THE ACCOUNT AND/OR SUBSCRPTION SET UP PROCESS. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, DO NOT CLICK “AGREE,” AND DO NOT USE THE SERVICE. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT BY USE OF THE SERVICE, YOU AGREE TO ABIDE BY AND THEREFORE ARE BOUND BY THESE TERMS.
I. MYLIBSYN SUBSCRIPTION TERMS OF SALE
PAYMENTS, TAXES, AND REFUND POLICY
The Mylibsyn Subscription Service (“Service”) accepts these forms of payment: credit cards issued by American Express, Visa, Mastercard and Discover. Billing occurs at the time of or shortly after your transaction. When making purchases, your credit card is charged for the entire balance of the purchase. Charges will show on your statement as Webmayhem, Inc.
You agree that you will pay for all subscription products (“Product” or “Products”) you purchase through the Service, and that Liberated Syndication (“Libsyn”) may charge your credit card account for any Products purchased and for any additional amounts (including any taxes and late fees, as applicable) that may be accrued by or in connection with your Account. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE TIMELY PAYMENT OF ALL FEES AND FOR PROVIDING LIBSYN WITH A VALID CREDIT CARD FOR PAYMENT OF ALL FEES. All fees will be billed to the credit card you designate during the registration process. If you want to designate a different credit card or if there is a change in your credit card, you must change your information online in the Account Information section of Mylibsyn (my.libsyn.com); this may temporarily disrupt your access to the Service while Libsyn verifies your new payment information.
The price shown at time of subscription purchase will be the price of the Products only. Any applicable sales tax will be added to the price of the Product; such sales tax is based on the bill-to address and the sales tax rate in effect at the time you purchase the Products. We will charge tax only in states where digital goods are taxable.
All sales and subscriptions or rentals of products are final.
Prices for Products offered via the Service may change at any time, and the Service does not provide price protection or refunds in the event of a price reduction or promotional offering.
If a product becomes unavailable following a transaction, your sole remedy is a refund. If technical problems prevent or unreasonably delay delivery of your product, your exclusive and sole remedy is either replacement or refund of the price paid, as determined by Libsyn.
ELECTRONIC CONTRACTING
Your use of the Service includes the ability to enter into agreements and/or to make transactions electronically. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOUR ELECTRONIC SUBMISSIONS CONSTITUTE YOUR AGREEMENT AND INTENT TO BE BOUND BY AND TO PAY FOR SUCH AGREEMENTS AND TRANSACTIONS. YOUR AGREEMENT AND INTENT TO BE BOUND BY ELECTRONIC SUBMISSIONS APPLIES TO ALL RECORDS RELATING TO ALL TRANSACTIONS YOU ENTER INTO ON THIS SITE, INCLUDING NOTICES OF CANCELLATION, POLICIES, CONTRACTS, AND APPLICATIONS. In order to access and retain your electronic records, you may be required to have certain third party hardware and software, which are your sole responsibility.
