2. FEES AND PAYMENT TERMS

A. Service and Usage Fees: Many of the features within Tute are free to use. Other features have free credits associated with them. There are some features within Tute for which fees are imposed. When YOU select the features within Tute that you would like to use you will be shown the features you selected, collectively, your order (Order). If you select features within Tute for which fees are imposed, or if fees are indicated on your Order, You agree to pay the fees specified within or in connection with Tute and any fees specified in your Order up front, and periodic subscription fees, and other designated fees (collectively, “Fees”) on the date specified in the order. All Fee payment obligations are non-cancelable and all Fees paid are non-refundable and non-creditable. Company may change any or all of its Fees hereunder (or impose new Fees) upon posting such changed or new Fees within or in connection with Tute (except to the extent the terms of an Order expressly state that Fee rates are locked in for some period of time). Such Fees shall automatically go into effect upon their posting (and become the Fees payable hereunder). Your continued use of Tute after the posting of changed or new fees constitutes your acceptance of such change.

B. Payment Terms: You shall pay all Fees, and all Fees are due, upon selection or usage of the applicable feature or functionality with respect to Fees that are usage fees, or on the periodic basis specified at the time of your Order or subscription, with respect to Fees that are periodic subscription fees.

All Fees are payable in United State dollars by credit card (or, if applicable, other charge account) which You provide upon sign-up or registration for Tute, unless the terms of the Order state otherwise. Any Fees that are not received from You by the due date therefore will accrue interest at the rate of 2.0% of the outstanding balance per month from the date such payment is due until the date paid. If you are delinquent in any fees, the Company shall have the sole and absolute discretion to stop your access to Tute.

C. Credit Card Use and Authorization: If You provide your credit card information in connection with an Order for Tute, You agree that any card or account number and any related billing and payment information that you provide may be shared by Company with other companies, such as payment processors and/or credit agencies, solely for the purpose of checking credit, effecting payment to Company and servicing your account. Company may seek pre-authorization of your credit card or other charge account prior to a Tute-related purchase to verify the credit card or charge account is valid and/or has the necessary funds or credit to cover your purchase. By providing your credit card information with an Order for Tute, You authorize Company to automatically charge such card or account (and authorize the card issuer or account holder to pay) for Fees owed hereunder, including any usage Fees, monthly subscription Fees or other periodic or usage Fees charged from time to time during the Service Term.
