The Privacy Policy is incorporated by reference and made part of these Terms. By agreeing to these Terms, you agree that your use of Word Bank Universal is governed by the Privacy Policy.
After your free trial, you will not be charged unless you decide to purchase a subscription for Word Bank Universal. You pay only for the Student or Child Accounts you have set up.
Once purchased, you will be charged immediately for your first month of your subscription (often called pre-billing). You will be billed automatically every month until the subscription is canceled.
You may want to purchase the product for more students/children. We will automatically prorate the additional charges. You will not be charged immediately for the additional students/children: those charges will be reflected on the next invoice. Again, the plan changes impact the next invoice, which remains on the same billing cycle (as your plan will always have the same billing frequency). The prorated amount is calculated down to the second. We will calculate the differences between the two plans based on the exact time you added/removed students/children and their relation to the current billing period's start and end times.
If you decide to remove students/children from your plan, you will receive a prorated credit, which will be reflected on the next invoice. The prorated credit is calculated down to the second. We will calculate the differences between the two plans based on the exact time you added/removed students/children and their relation to the current billing period's start and end times.
When you cancel all subscriptions, your card will not be charged again. Cancellation takes effect immediately. If your subscription was canceled partway through the billing period, you will not be credited a refund.
If a payment fails, we will automatically retry. If it fails repeatedly, your subscription will be canceled.
An invoice is created at the end of the subscription's billing cycle.
We use Stripe, a third party electronic payment processor to process credit card transactions for payment of Word Bank Universal. You irrevocably authorize us to instruct Stripe to handle such transactions, and you irrevocably agree that we may give instructions on your behalf in accordance with your requests submitted within Word Bank Universal. You agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of Stripe, and in the event or conflict between these Terms and Stripe’s Terms, these Terms shall prevail.
