You agree to pay us, through the Payment Processor or in another format accepted by us, all charges for the Paid Services that you access, and you authorize us, where applicable, through the Payment Processor, to charge your chosen payment provider (your “Payment Method”). For Paid Services involving one-time fees, as identified on the Services, your Payment Method will be charged at the time of purchase, or you will be billed by us, as determined by us. Actor Trade reserves the right to send instructions to the financial institution that issued your card to take payments from your card account in accordance with the terms of Actor Trade’s agreement with you. For recurring subscriptions, we will automatically charge your Payment Method or invoice you (as determined by us) for the next period at the end of each subscription period, as further identified on the Services and at purchase. If you purchase a subscription, it may result in recurring charges, to your Payment Method or otherwise, and you agree that we may charge such amounts until such a time as your subscription expires or you cancel the subscription, depending on the subscription type. WE MAY SUBMIT PERIODIC CHARGES WITHOUT FURTHER AUTHORIZATION FROM YOU, UNTIL YOU PROVIDE PRIOR NOTICE (RECEIPT OF WHICH IS CONFIRMED BY US) THAT YOU HAVE TERMINATED THIS AUTHORIZATION OR WISH TO CHANGE YOUR PAYMENT METHOD. SUCH NOTICE WILL NOT AFFECT CHARGES SUBMITTED BEFORE WE REASONABLY COULD ACT.

If you downgrade your subscription, you will be charged the reduced price at the beginning of the next term. Your account will be considered delinquent if payment in full is not successful when a charge is initiated. Unless specified in an invoice, amounts due are exclusive of all applicable taxes, levies, or duties, and you will be responsible for payment of all such amounts. In addition to other applicable remedies, we reserve the right to suspend and/or terminate your access to the Services and/or terminate this Agreement if your Payment Method is declined or fails and your account therefore is delinquent. Charges to delinquent accounts are subject to interest of 1.5% per month on any outstanding balance, or the maximum permitted by law, whichever is less, plus all expenses of collection, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs.
