If you wish to use or benefit from such Paid Services, you will be required to pay all applicable Fees in advance.
Sitsh Technology reserves the right to change its Fees at any time, upon notice if such changes may affect your existing subscriptions. If you have received a discount or other promotional offer, Sitsh Technology shall have the right to automatically renew your subscription to such Sitsh Technology Services without notice, at which time the Fees shall be at the full applicable rate.
All fees shall be deemed to be in U.S. dollars, unless expressly stated otherwise by Sitsh Technology in writing. To the extent permitted by law (and unless otherwise specified by Sitsh Technology in writing), all Fees are exclusive of any taxes (including VAT, sales tax, goods and services tax, etc.), customs or other fees imposed by taxing authorities ("Taxes"), and you shall be responsible for paying all applicable Taxes in connection with your use of the Sitsh Technology Services, or for payments or purchases made by you. If Sitsh Technology is required to collect or pay Taxes in connection with the Fees payable by you, and notwithstanding that such Taxes have been added to or collected from you for prior transactions, such Taxes may be added to the payment of any Fees not yet paid and will appear on the Invoice for the transaction in question. We recommend that you check for any additional fees that may be charged to you by a Third Party in connection with the purchase of Paid Services, or the renewal thereof (international transaction fees, currency exchange fees, or bank or credit card fees). Sitsh Technology is not responsible for any such additional fees or costs.
In connection with registering for or submitting information to receive Paid Services, you also authorize Sitsh Technology (either directly or through its affiliates, subsidiaries or other third parties) to request and collect payment and service fees (or charge, refund or take other billing action) from our payment provider or your designated bank account, and to make any inquiries that Sitsh Technology or its subsidiaries deem necessary to validate your designated payment account or financial information to ensure that payment is made in a timely manner, including to receive updated payment details from your payment account provider, credit card or bank (for example, an expiration date or an updated card number as may be provided to us by your credit card company).
You must save a credit card on Sitsh Technology in order to pay for your Paid Services ("Saved Card"). You will be able to identify your saved Card using its last four numbers as on your Account Settings Page.
5.2. Invoices
Sitsh Technology and/or its affiliates will issue an invoice or credit note for any payment of Fees or a refund made to or by Sitsh Technology ("Invoice"). Each Invoice will be issued electronically and in accordance with the country specified in your billing address. It will be made available to you via your User Account and/or by email. In order to issue the Invoice, you may be required to provide certain Personal Information (as that term is defined in the Privacy Policy) to comply with local law. Please note that the Invoice presented in your User Account may not meet the requirements of local law, and should therefore be used for reference purposes only.
5.3. Money Back Guarantee
If you are not satisfied with any of the Sitsh Technology Services subject to a Fee for the period of use or a subscription commitment, as part of the initial purchase of such service, you may notify us of cancellation, without giving any reason, within fourteen (14) days of the first order, or activation of such Sitsh Technology service (the "Refund" and the "Refund Period"). The Refund only applies to the initial purchase of Sitsh Technology Services as part of an upgrade from a free site, by means of the purchase of a Premium Offer (as offered on the Sitsh Technology Site). The Refund does not apply to any additional purchase, upgrade, modification or renewal of Sitsh Technology Services. If you reside in a jurisdiction where the law establishes a longer Refund Period, we will of course be happy to comply with this requirement by adapting to all applicable laws. If Sitsh Technology receives this notification during the Refund Period, Sitsh Technology will refund you the amount you actually paid for such Sitsh Technology Services in the currency originally billed, and therefore cancel them. Sitsh Technology invoices such Sitsh Technology Services in the currency used for the original billing, cancellation works on the same principle. Note that the Refund amount may be different from the amount you were originally billed for, due to fluctuations in currency exchange rates or fees charged by a third party. Sitsh Technology is not responsible for any differences inherent in changes in currency exchange rates, or fees charged by third parties. After the Refund Period, the Fees paid by you will be non-refundable and non-cancellable. In addition, if we find that the cancellation notice was made in bad faith or as part of an illegitimate attempt to avoid payment for services actually received and provided, we will reserve the right to issue an invoice regardless to the User who provided such notice for Sitsh Technology Services actually received, to the extent permitted by law.
Please note: Some services purchased on or through the Sitsh Technology Services may be non-refundable. These include Third Party Services such as domains, business tools and applications. The terms of each service or application purchased are stated on the Sitsh Technology Site and/or as part of or during the purchase process for such services or applications. It is your obligation to verify your ability to cancel a service before purchasing it. Sitsh Technology will not refund amounts paid for non-refundable Paid Services, applications or Third Party Services.
5.4. Chargeback
If at any time we receive a refusal, chargeback, or other objection to the payment of Fees on your Sitsh Technology Account ("Chargeback"), this will be considered a breach of your payment obligations hereunder, and your use of the Sitsh Technology Services may be automatically suspended or terminated.
In the event of a Chargeback, your User Account may be blocked without the option to repurchase or reuse, and all data contained in such User Account, including domains, applications, and Third Party Services may be cancelled and subject to a Capacity Loss (as defined in Section 6.3 below).

If you have any questions or concerns regarding a payment made to Sitsh Technology, we recommend that you first contact our Customer Service before requesting a Chargeback or a chargeback in order to avoid cancellation of the Sitsh Technology Services or blocking of your User Account, and to avoid an unjustified or erroneous Chargeback request, which may subject you to the applicable Fees, in addition to having to pay again all Fees applicable to the Sitsh Technology Services purchased (and subject to a chargeback).
We reserve the right to dispute any Chargeback received, including by providing the credit card company or financial institution concerned with any information and documentation proving that the User responsible for such Chargeback actually authorized the transaction and used the services subsequently rendered.
