8.1. Fees; Billing. To access the Services, you agree to pay usage charges and a recurring monthly/yearly subscription (as applicable) (“Subscription”) set forth in an Order.

Unless otherwise set forth in the applicable Order, the usage charges for the Services will be billed in thirty (30)day intervals, and an invoice will be sent via email from Shopify (if applicable). Additionally, an invoice will appear on the account page of your Shopify admin console (if applicable). Users have fourteen (14) days to bring up and settle any issues with the billing.
8.2. Payment Processors. Fairing uses third-party providers (i.e., Shopify and Stripe) to securely store your payment card information and process your payments (“Payment Processors”). You expressly authorize us or our Payment Processors to charge you for each transaction. Our Payment Processors may ask you to supply additional information relevant to your transaction, including your credit card number, the expiration date of your credit card, and your email and postal addresses for billing and notification (such information, “Payment Information”). You will provide all Payment Information directly to our Payment Processors. You represent and warrant that you have the legal right to use all payment method(s) represented by any such Payment Information. When you initiate a transaction through the Services, you authorize our Payment Processors to complete your transaction, and to charge your payment method for the transaction (plus any applicable taxes and other charges).By initiating a transaction, you agree to the pricing, payment, and billing policies applicable to such fees and charges, as posted or otherwise communicated to you. All fees and applicable taxes, if any, are payable in United States dollars. You’ll receive a confirmation email after we confirm the payment for your order. Your order is not binding on Fairing until accepted and confirmed by Fairing. All payments made are non-refundable and non-transferable except as expressly provided in this Agreement.
8.3. Transaction Cancellation; Verification. Fairing reserves the right to not processor to cancel your transaction in certain circumstances, for example, if your credit card is declined, if we suspect the request or transaction is fraudulent, or in other circumstances Fairing deems appropriate in its sole discretion. Fairing also reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to take steps to verify your identity in connection with your transaction. You may need to provide additional information to verify your identity before completing your transaction (such information is included within the definition of Payment Information). Fairing will either not charge you or refund the charges for transactions that we do not process or cancel.
8.4. Fee Disputes. If you have any concerns or objections regarding charges, you agree to raise them with us first and you agree not to cancel or reject any credit card or third-party payment processing charges unless you have made a reasonable attempt at resolving the matter directly with Fairing.
8.5. Chargebacks. We may institute a chargeback policy as we deem appropriate in the event that you or your bank does not honor a payment obligation or if our Payment Processors question our ability to collect funds from you. As part of such chargeback policy, we may in our sole discretion suspend, terminate, or otherwise limit your ability to use the Services or otherwise take any action we or our Payment Processors deem necessary.
8.6. Changes to Price Terms for Subscriptions. Fairing reserves the right to change its pricing terms for using the Services at any time, upon thirty (30) days’ notice from Fairing in advance of such changes becoming effective. Such notice may be provided at anytime by posting the changes to the Fairing website (Fairing.co), email, or the administration menu of your Shopify store via an announcement. Changes to the pricing terms will not apply retroactively and will only apply for Subscription renewals after such changed pricing terms have been communicated to you and/or the general public. If you do not agree with the changes to Fairing’s pricing, you may choose not to renew your Subscription in accordance with the section “How to Cancel Your Subscription.”
8.7. How to Cancel Your Subscription.

You must cancel your monthly or yearly Subscription before it renews to avoid the billing of the fees for the next Subscription period. If you purchase your Subscription via Shopify, you can cancel the renewal of your Subscription at any time with Shopify. You will not receive a refund for the fees you already paid for your current Subscription period and you will continue to receive the Services ordered until the end of your current Subscription period.

We each agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity thereof or the use of the Services (collectively, “Disputes”)will be resolved solely by binding, individual arbitration and not in a class, representative or consolidated action or proceeding.

This arbitration provision shall survive termination of this Agreement.
14.2. Exceptions. As limited exceptions to Section 14.1. above: (i) we both may seek to resolve a Dispute in small claims court if it qualifies; and (ii) we each retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief from a court to prevent (or enjoin) the infringement or misappropriation of our respective intellectual property rights.
14.3. Conducting Arbitration and Arbitration Rules.

The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling1-800-778-7879. A party who wishes to start arbitration must submit a written Demand for Arbitration to AAA and give notice to the other Party as specified in the AAA Rules. The AAA provides a form Demand for Arbitration at www.adr.org.
14.4. Arbitration Costs. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules, and each Party shall bear its own costs and expenses of arbitration, including legal fees.
14.5. Injunctive and Declaratory Relief. Except as provided in Section 14.2. above, the arbitrator shall determine all issues of liability on the merits of any claim asserted by either Party and may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual Party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that Party’s individual claim. To the extent that you or we prevail on a claim and seek public injunctive relief (that is, injunctive relief that has the primary purpose and effect of prohibiting unlawful acts that threaten future injury to the public), the entitlement to and extent of such relief must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration. The Parties agree that litigation of any issues of public injunctive relief shall be stayed pending the outcome of the merits of any individual claims in arbitration.
14.6. Class Action Waiver. YOU AND FAIRING AGREE THAT EACH PARTY MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, if the Parties’ Dispute is resolved through arbitration, the arbitrator may not consolidate another person’s claims with your claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Dispute Resolution section shall be null and void.
