You also agree to: (a) provide true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself as prompted by the Service's registration form ("Registration Data"); and (b) maintain and promptly update the Registration Data to keep it true, accurate, current and complete. If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, or Appfluence has reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, Appfluence has the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all current or future use of the Service (or any portion thereof).

3) Billing
We will bill you for subscription fees corresponding to your first subscription period, plus any applicable tax, at the moment your subscription starts. Unless otherwise stated explicitly, a subscription period has a duration of one year. To view the specific details of your subscription plan, you can see your "Account Management" page, available after logging into the Service. Unless cancelled, your Service subscription will be automatically renewed at the end of your subscription period. We will bill the subscription fee plus any applicable tax to you. Your membership will automatically renew for successive subscriptions, without prior notice to you, unless and until you cancel your membership, or we terminate it. You must cancel your membership before it renews in order to avoid billing of the next period's subscription fees to your payment method. By using the Service, you are expressly agreeing that we are permitted to bill you a subscription fee, any applicable tax and any other charges you may incur in connection with your use of the Service. Additional charges may include service level changes you request. Such additional charges can be requested in the middle of a subscription period, and will be billed immediately, in the amount corresponding to the remainder of the period. The subscription fee will be billed at the beginning of your subscription and on each renewal thereafter, unless and until you cancel your membership. We will automatically bill you each billing period on the calendar day corresponding to the commencement of your membership. All fees and charges are nonrefundable, and there are no refunds or credits for partially used periods, or where you have elected to downgrade service levels or otherwise remove any paid component or feature. If you elect to upgrade your service level or otherwise add any paid component or feature, we will pro-rate the amount due based on the number of days remaining in your billing cycle; provided, however, that any such proration shall be based on your service level or paid components or features in existence immediately prior to your election to upgrade or add paid components or features. We may change the fees and charges in effect or add new fees and charges from time to time. We will inform you of any increase or addition to existing fees and we may offer you a grace-period in which your fees will not increase for a certain period of time. If you do not accept the increase or addition to the existing fees, you may elect to terminate your account during the then current billing period and you shall not be liable for such fee increase after the applicable billing period; however, any later renewal of service will be subject to the increased fee structure. If your credit or debit card reaches its expiration date, your continued use of the Service constitutes your authorization for us to continue billing you, and you remain responsible for any uncollected amounts. If you change your service level (downgrade it), you may cause the loss of Content or features for your account. Appfluence does not accept any liability for such loss. You may cancel your subscription to the Service at anytime, and cancellation will be effective immediately. WE DO NOT PROVIDE REFUNDS OR CREDITS FOR ANY PARTIAL SUBSCRIPTION PERIODS OR ANY FEATURE OF COMPONENT THAT YOU HAVE PAID FOR BUT NOT USED. In connection with your purchase and/or use of the Service you may be subject to taxes, including, without limitation, sales and use taxes, by any authority which has jurisdiction to impose such taxes. You agree that the obligation and payment of any such taxes shall be your sole and absolute responsibility, and you agree to indemnify Appfluence pursuant to this agreement to the extent that Appfluence incurs any obligations or other liabilities in connection with such taxes.
