Last updated: June 2020

Terms of Service Agreement

This agreement is effective immediately upon the first use of our services and as long as you have an account with RushTera Inc.

These Terms of Service apply to all users of the Services, including, without limitation, users who are contributors of content, information, and other materials or services, registered or otherwise.

To be eligible to use our services the customer needs to be at least 16 years old. 

Customers acknowledge that RushTera Inc. may modify the Services and add or delete features, functions and additional Services from time to time in its sole discretion. Except as expressly permitted by us in writing, you will not scrape, reproduce, redistribute, sell, create derivative works from, decompile, reverse engineer, or disassemble the Services or any source code therein. Nor will you attempt to circumvent any of RushTera Inc. ‘s technical measures or take any measures to interfere with or damage the Services. All rights not expressly granted by RushTera Inc. are reserved.

Payment and Billing Terms

Billing Term. We use a third-party payment processor, Stripe, (the ” Payment Processor”) to bill you through a payment account linked to your Account on the Services (your “Billing Account”) for use of the Paid Services. The processing of payments will be subject to the terms, conditions and privacy policies of the Payment Processor in addition to this Agreement, available at https://stripe.com/us/legal. We are not responsible for error by the Payment Processor. By choosing to use Paid Services, you agree to pay us, through the Payment Processor, all charges at the prices then in effect for any use of such Paid Services in accordance with the applicable payment terms and you authorize us, through the Payment Processor, to charge your chosen payment provider (your ” Payment Method”). You agree to make payment using that selected Payment Method. We reserve the right to correct any errors or mistakes that it makes even if it has already requested or received payment. 

Recurring Billing. By providing Credit Card information and agreeing to purchase any Services, the Customer hereby authorizes RushTera Inc. (or its designee) to automatically charge the Customer’s Credit Card on the same date of each calendar month (or the closest prior date, if there are fewer days in a particular month) during the Subscription Term for all fees accrued as of that date (if any) in accordance with the applicable Order Form.

Our Paid Services may consist of an initial period, for which there is a one-time charge, followed by recurring period charges as agreed to by you. By choosing a recurring payment plan, you acknowledge that such Services have an initial and recurring payment feature and you accept responsibility for all recurring charges prior to cancellation. We may submit periodic charges (Monthly) without further authorization from you, until you provide prior notice (receipt confirmed by us) that you have terminated this authorization or wish to change your Payment Method. Such notice will not affect charges submitted before we reasonably could act.

Auto-Renewal for Subscription Services. Unless you cancel your account, which can be done through your “Settings” page, any Subscription Services you have signed up for will be automatically extended for successive renewal periods of the same duration as the subscription term originally selected, at the then-current non-promotional rate. To change or cancel your Subscription Services at any time, go to the  “Settings” page. If you terminate a Subscription Service, you may use your subscription until the end of your then-current term; your subscription will not be renewed after your then-current term expires. However, you won’t be eligible for a prorated refund of any portion of the subscription fee paid for the then-current subscription period.

Credit Card Payment. 

Foreign Transaction Fees. Customer acknowledges that for certain Credit Cards, the issuer of Customer’s Credit Card may charge a foreign transaction fee or other charges.

Changing Credit Card Information. At any time, customers may change their Credit Card information by entering updated Credit Card information in the ” Settings” page.

Termination of Recurring Billing. In addition to any termination rights set forth in this Agreement, Customer may terminate the Subscription Term by sending RushTera Inc. notice of cancellation, if Customer’s Subscription Term is on a monthly basis, by terminating via the “Settings” page, with termination effective at the end of the current Subscription Term.
