Certain Products and Services are available for Users free of charge, as set out on the Site. We reserve the right, but are not obligated, to limit the availability and sale of our Products and Services to any User, person, geographic region or jurisdiction. We may exercise this right on a case-by-case basis. All descriptions of Products and Services or Product and Service pricing are subject to change at anytime without notice, at our sole discretion.

5. Orders, Subscriptions & Payment

(a) These Terms of Service will govern any orders you make through the Site (each, an “Order”) for the selected Products and Services. Certain Products and Services are available for purchase on a subscription basis only, as set out on the Site, whereby Openroom will provide User access to such Products and Services for a 30-day period (such subscription, a “Subscription” and such 30-day period, the “Initial Subscription Term”). Your purchase of an Order through the Site is an offer to purchase certain Products and Services and we may accept your Order by providing an electronic or other form of Order confirmation. For any reason, we may decline to accept your Order or any part of your Order. If we decline to accept your Order, we will attempt to notify you at the email address you provided. For Subscriptions, following the Initial Subscription Term, the Subscription will automatically renew for successive 30-day periods (each a “Renewal Subscription Term” and together with the Initial Subscription Term, the “Subscription Term”) and you will be charged a monthly payment in the amount set out on the Site for each Renewal Subscription Term until you cancel. You must authorize Openroom to charge your account at the start of the Initial Subscription Term and every 30 days from then until you cancel the Subscription. A cancellation will be effective on the next renewal date of your Subscription.

(b) To pay for an Order, you will need to provide us or, if applicable, a third-party payment processor (the “Payment Processor”) with the information necessary to process each monthly payment from you, including the billing information requested on the Site or the applicable Payment Processor’s platform. The processing of payments will be subject to the terms, conditions and privacy policies of the Payment Processor, if any, in addition to these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, we are not responsible for any error by, or other acts or omissions of, any Payment Processor. You may pay for your Order via credit card or any other manner then available on the Site or on the applicable Payment Processor’s platform. By submitting your payment information to us or the Payment Processor, you authorize us or the Payment Processor to charge the applicable payment method at our or their convenience and in the case of a Subscription, on a monthly basis for each Subscription Term. You represent and warrant that you will not use any credit card or other method of payment unless you have all necessary authorization to do so. We and any Payment Processor are not liable in the event persons acting with or without your permission use your credit card or other method of payment to make purchases on the Site or the Payment Processor’s platform; however you may report any unauthorized use to us or the Payment Processor, and we and the Payment Processor will use reasonable measures within our control to help prevent future unauthorized use of your credit card or other method of payment. We reserve the right to correct any errors or mistakes that any Payment Processor makes even if it has already requested or received payment. The terms of your payment will be based on your chosen payment provider and may be determined by agreements between you and the financial institution, credit card issuer or other provider of your chosen payment method. If we, either through the Payment Processor or otherwise, do not receive payment from you, you agree to pay all amounts due on your billing account upon demand. For a Subscription, you must ensure that your payment details are true, accurate, current, and complete at all times. You must promptly update your payment details to reflect any changes, including a change in billing address, credit card number or credit card expiration date. You must promptly notify us and the Payment Processor if your payment method is cancelled for any reason or if you become aware of a potential breach of security, such as the unauthorized disclosure or use of your login credentials, user name or password for your User Account.
