In between the time you cancel and the effective date of the cancellation, you are responsible for any additional Fees that you accrue. Following the free trial, all Subscription Fees are final and nonrefundable.
Video Greetings reserves the right to suspend or terminate your Subscription or use of the Site without notice upon rejection of any credit card charges or if your card issuer (or its agent or affiliate) seeks return of payments previously made to Video Greetings when Video Greetings believes you are liable for the charges.
When you sign up for a Subscription or order Premium Offerings, you have an opportunity to review and accept the Fees that you will be charged based on our stated Fees, which we may change from time to time. Any changes to Fees will be effective thirty (30) days after we provide you with notice by posting such changes on the Site; provided, however, that such changes shall only apply prospectively to your use of the Site. Unless otherwise stated, all Fees are quoted in U.S. Dollars.
Video Greetings accepts payments through the major credit cards indicated on the applicable payment screen or PayPal. Billing to your account occurs immediately following any applicable free trial period. Video Greetings does not accept any other payment form.

You are responsible for all charges incurred under your account made by you or anyone who uses your account (including your family or friends). You agree to pay any outstanding balance in full within thirty (30) days of the due date. All Fees not paid to Video Greetings by you within thirty (30) days of when such Fees become due and payable in accordance with this Agreement shall be subject to a finance charge of one and one half percent (1.5%) per month interest, or the maximum allowable under applicable law, whichever is less, with such interest charges starting on the due date for such fees, plus any related collection and legal costs actually incurred by Video Greetings in connection with Video Greetings’ collection of such Fees.
Video Greetings shall ensure that any third party vendors handling credit card processing pursuant to this Agreement (e.g., PayPal) shall adhere to the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards ("PCI Standards"). In connection therewith, Video Greetings shall require that any such vendor who receives, maintains, stores, handles, protects, transports or transmits credit card numbers and associated personal information ("User Credit Card Information") (i) may only use such User Credit Card Information for assisting in completing card transactions, for providing fraud control services, or for uses required by applicable law, and (ii) shall perform customary assessments of its systems and procedures on an on-going basis, and if such assessment reveals any non-compliance with the PCI Standards, it shall take actions to cure such non-compliance.
