Subject to your right to terminate the Service prior to the expiration of a Trial Period -- if any -- as described in the following section, you agree to pay the following amounts for the minimum period specified.
9.2 Subject to the terms in Section 9.9 below, your subscription will continue automatically at the monthly rate applicable to the Service, which you have selected unless terminated by INVESTWAY or until you notify INVESTWAY of your decision to terminate the Service. Upon the expiration of the initial period, your subscription will automatically renew on a month-to-month basis at the same monthly rate, as applicable, unless you elect to terminate the Service or enroll in another version of the Service.
9.3 If, when registering, you signed up for a subscription with a “Trial Period,” you will be allowed a period during which you can try out the Service. If you terminate the Service prior to the expiration of the Trial Period, you will not have any further obligation with respect to the version of the Service that you have committed to. The Trial Period will expire upon a certain number of days following the date you initially sign up for the Service (refer to the confirmation provided on the site or via email for the specific terms of your trial period).
9.4 Each month during the term of this Agreement following the expiration of any Trial Period, the monthly fees for use of the Service will be billed automatically to the credit card you designated during the Service registration process or subsequently designated to INVESTWAY. You agree to pay or have paid all fees and charges incurred in connection with your unique ID and password for the Service (including any applicable taxes) at the rates in effect when the charges were incurred. All fees and charges are nonrefundable. If you want to designate a different credit card or there is a change in credit card validity or expiration date, you may edit your user information through http://www.investway.com.

The billing period ends each month on the monthly anniversary of your activation date ("Billing Date"). If, however, the Billing Date would be the 29th, 30th or 31st day of a month, the Billing Date will be the first day of the following month. If INVESTWAY does not receive payment from the credit card issuer or its agent, you agree to pay all amounts due upon demand by INVESTWAY. Your card issuer agreement governs your use of your designated card in connection with the Service, and you must refer to that agreement and not this Agreement to determine your rights and liabilities as a cardholder. YOU, AND NOT INVESTWAY, ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING ANY AMOUNTS BILLED TO YOUR CREDIT CARD BY A THIRD PARTY, WHICH WERE NOT AUTHORIZED BY YOU.
9.6 If INVESTWAY does not receive the full amount of your Service account balance within thirty (30) days of the Billing Date, a late payment charge of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month (or the highest amount allowed by law, whichever is lower) may be added to your bill and immediately become due and payable. Unless you notify INVESTWAY of any discrepancies within sixty (60) days after they first appear on your account statement, they will be deemed accepted by you for all purposes, including resolution of inquiries made by your card issuer. You release INVESTWAY from all liabilities and claim of loss resulting from any error or discrepancy that is not reported to INVESTWAY within sixty (60) days of its first appearance on an invoice or credit card statement.
9.7 You agree to pay INVESTWAY reasonable attorney's fees and costs incurred by INVESTWAY to collect any past due amounts. Your account may be deactivated without further notice if payment is past due, regardless of the dollar amount. You agree to pay any outstanding balance in full within thirty (30) days of cancellation or termination of your Service account.
9.8 You are responsible for paying any governmental taxes imposed on your use of the Service, including, but not limited to, sales, use or value-added taxes.

INVESTWAY MAY ADDITIONALLY PROVIDE NOTICE OF BILLING CHANGES VIA EMAIL. If any such change is unacceptable to you, you may terminate your subscription to the Service.
