PregoPoker.com agrees to furnish services to the Subscriber, subject to the following TOS (Terms of Service).
The Use of PregoPoker.com service constitutes acceptance and agreement to PregoPoker.com TOS (Terms of Service).
Term and Payment for Services
Term: This Agreement will be for an initial “Term“ of 1 month from the date the Services are first provided by PregoPoker.com. This Agreement will be automatically renewed (the "Renewal Term") at the end of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term for a period of thirty (30) days unless you provide PregoPoker.com with written notice of termination at least one (1) day before the end of the Initial Term or Renewal Term (also referred to interchangeably and collectively as “Term”), whichever is then applicable. To provide your notice of termination, you must submit the cancellation form located in the user area. Pricing and duration of Terms may be modified only if in writing (such as a Service Order) signed by PregoPoker.com.
Termination
This Agreement may be terminated: (i) by you or PregoPoker.com during any Renewal Term, without cause, by giving the other party no less than one (1) day prior written notice, or a greater number of days prior notice if specified in a Service Order accepted by PregoPoker.com; (ii) by PregoPoker.com in the event of nonpayment by you as provided in the section below or (iii) by PregoPoker.com, at any time, without notice, if, in PregoPoker.com sole judgment, you are in violation of any terms or conditions of the TOS. If you terminate this Agreement, or if PregoPoker.com terminates this Agreement for your breach, before the end of the Initial Term or the Renewal Term, whichever is then applicable, you will be required to pay immediately and without setoff or delay all charges, fees and costs accrued before the termination date, all monthly recurring fees for each month remaining in the Term and any other amounts that you owe to PregoPoker.com under this Agreement.
Charges
You will immediately pay, upon receiving an electronic invoice from PregoPoker.com, all charges for your use of the Services at the then current PregoPoker.com prices for that category of service or any special offer applicable to your account as determined by PregoPoker.com. You are responsible for paying all federal, state, and local sales, use, value added, excise duty and any other taxes assessed with respect to the Services, other than taxes based on PregoPoker.com net income. If you default on any of your obligations under this Agreement and PregoPoker.com must engage a collections effort to collect past due sums associated with your use of Services, you are responsible for all costs of collection of all amounts owed under this Agreement, including reasonable attorney’s fees of PregoPoker.com.
Payment and Fees
You will pay all charges for the first month of service in advance on the first day of the Initial Term. You will pay all subsequent charges for Services in their entirety in advance on the anniversary day of each successive month. You must pay for the Services by credit card or debit card. You authorize PregoPoker.com to charge your credit or debit card to pay for any charges that may apply to your account. You have a specific obligation to immediately notify PregoPoker.com of any changes to your card account (including applicable account number or cancellation or expiration of the account, your billing address, or any information that may prohibit PregoPoker.com from properly charging your account). Failure to immediately and fully pay your fees for Services and applicable taxes when invoiced by PregoPoker.com shall be a material breach of this Agreement, justifying PregoPoker.com to suspend its performance and terminate this Agreement. If PregoPoker.com terminates this Agreement for your material breach, you will be required to pay immediately all fees and costs accrued before the termination date, all monthly recurring fees for each month remaining in the term and any other amounts you owe to PregoPoker.com under this Agreement. You are responsible for any costs that PregoPoker.com incurs in enforcing collection, including reasonable attorneys' fees, court costs and collection agency fees.
Credit cards that are declined for any reason or Paypal payments that are either rejected or not made when Services are invoiced are subject to an additional processing fee. Service will be immediately interrupted on any account that is unpaid. Service interrupted for non-payment is subject to a $25 suspension charge. Accounts not paid by the due date are subject to a $5 late fee that accrues daily until paid in full. Accounts that are not collectable by PregoPoker.com may be turned over to an outside collection agency for collection. If you account is turned over for collection, you agree to pay the company an additional “Collection“ fee of not less than $50 nor more than $150. If you desire to cancel the account, please follow the correct procedure as outlined in the "Termination" section.
Refund and Disputes
*All payments to PregoPoker.com are nonrefundable* and include any applicable setup fees and subsequent charges regardless of usage. All overcharges or billing disputes must be reported within 60 days of the time that the dispute occurred. If you dispute a charge to your credit card issuer that, in PregoPoker.com sole discretion, is a valid charge under the provisions of this Agreement, you agree to pay PregoPoker.com an additional "Investigation Fee" of $100.00.
Failure to Pay
The Company may temporarily deny service or terminate this Agreement upon the failure of Subscriber to pay charges when due. Such termination or denial will not, in any way, relieve the Subscriber of responsibility for the payment of all accrued charges, plus reasonable interest and all collection fees, including legal expenses.
