You may be required to pay fees to access the Platform or certain features of the Platform. Before paying any fees, you will have the opportunity to review and accept any fees charged to you. Unless otherwise stated, all fees are incurred by PFUND STERLING and are non-refundable. Purchases made through third party providers such as Oculus and Facebook may be subject to additional terms and conditions provided by those third party providers. If Nostraverse changes the fees for any part of the Platform, including the introduction of additional fees or charges, Nostraverse will notify you in advance of such changes. If you do not accept the changes, nostraverse.com may discontinue providing the Platform or the applicable portion of the Platform to you. nostraverse.com will charge the payment method you provided at the time of purchase. You authorize nostraverse.com to debit all amounts as described in these TOS from that payment method. If you pay charges with a credit card, nostraverse.com may request a pre-authorization of your credit card account prior to purchase to verify that the credit card is valid and has the necessary balance to cover your purchase. If you use the Platform to update or cancel an existing authorized payment, it may take up to 10 business days for the update or cancellation to take effect.
Certain premium features on the Platform may be made available through the purchase of a subscription ("Subscription Service"). Subscription Services involve automatic recurring payments for periodic fees and may be purchased through a third party market. When you activate a Subscription Service, you authorize nostraverse.com (or the applicable third party marketer) to bill you periodically and until either the recurring payments or your account is terminated, for all accrued amounts for your subscription to the Subscription Service on or before the due date for the accrued amounts. The "Subscription Billing Date" is the date you first purchase a subscription to a Subscription Service. Your account will be automatically charged on the Subscription Billing Date for all applicable fees and taxes for the next subscription period. Your subscription to the Subscription Service will continue until you cancel your subscription or we terminate it.
You must cancel your subscription to a Subscription Service before it renews to avoid having the next periodic subscription fee charged to your account. We (or the applicable third party provider) will bill the recurring subscription fee, using the payment method you provided at the time of purchase (or another payment method if you change your payment information). We may suspend or terminate access to a Subscription Service for any account for which an amount is due but unpaid. In addition to the amount due for a subscription service, a delinquent account may incur fees or charges associated with a chargeback or collection of the unpaid amount, including collection fees. If an account is moderated for a violation of these TOU, all current Subscription Services associated with the account may be terminated, provided that the then-current Subscription Period will continue. Payments for Subscription Services are non-refundable. If you have activated a Subscription Service through a Third Party Market, you may cancel your subscription to that Subscription Service through the Third Party Market's account settings or other procedures established by that Third Party Market. If you have any questions, please email us at home@nostraverse.com.
