You are responsible for and will pay all Fees incurred under your account and, if applicable, all Fees set forth in a Service Order. The applicable Fees for your use of the Platform Services will be set forth in your account, unless otherwise set forth in a Service Order. TxtCart may update or modify the applicable Fees and rates for the Platform Services unless otherwise set forth in a Service Order, and provided that TxtCart will provide reasonable advance notice of such changes. 

5.2 Subscription Charges

TxtCart may make the Platform Services available on a subscription basis. By purchasing a subscription, you agree that your subscription will automatically renew until canceled in accordance with these Platform Terms, and that you will pay all recurring Fees for your subscription until it is canceled. Unless otherwise set forth in a Service Order, you may upgrade, downgrade, or cancel your subscription as set forth in your account. Certain subscription packages may only be available to Customers who enter a Service Order, and changes to those packages may only be requested by contacting TxtCart support.  Cancellations and downgrades will not take effect until the start of the following subscription period. Requests for cancellation or downgrade made by contacting TxtCart support must be initiated at least five (5) days before the end of the current subscription period. If you cancel your subscription as set forth in this Section, you will continue to have access to the Platform Services until the end of the final subscription period.

Usage charges may include carrier pass-through fees each month ranging from $5 to $10. By accepting our Terms of Service and billing, you accept these usage charges.

5.4 Promotions & Discounts

TxtCart may make available promotions and discounts from time to time. All promotions and discounts are subject to any terms and conditions communicated to you at the time of purchase or in a Service Order, and do not automatically renew or roll over. Following the expiration of a promotion or discount, regular Fees and billing terms will apply.

5.5 Payments and Processing

Payments through the Shopify App Store are handled by the Shopify Payment Processor. Otherwise, TxtCart will charge you for Fees on the billing cycle described in your account using the Payment Method you provide through your account, unless otherwise set forth in a Service Order. TxtCart may use a third-party payment processor. By providing your Payment Information through your account: (a) you authorize TxtCart and its third-party payment processor to charge your Payment Method for all relevant Fees when due, including for any recurring Fees for your subscription and when you reach your charge cap; (b) you agree that TxtCart’s third-party payment processor may store your Payment Information; and (c) you agree that TxtCart’s third-party payment processor may authenticate your Payment Information and Payment Method, including by running one or more payment authorization checks (for example, by charging an amount less than one dollar and reversing that amount). If TxtCart and its third-party payment processor are unable to charge you using the Payment Method associated with your account for any reason (including expiration or insufficient funds), you remain responsible for any uncollected amounts, and TxtCart may attempt to charge your Payment Method again, as you may update your Payment Information.

5.6 Refunds

TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOUR PURCHASE IS FINAL AND TXTCART HAS NO OBLIGATION TO ISSUE A REFUND. IF YOU CANCEL OR CHANGE YOUR SUBSCRIPTION AS PERMITTED IN THIS SECTION, YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL FEES INCURRED FOR THE THEN-CURRENT SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD. Without limiting the foregoing, if something unexpected happens in the course of completing a transaction, we reserve the right to cancel that transaction for any reason. If we cancel a transaction, we will refund any payment you have already remitted to us for that transaction. We recognize that exceptional situations may occur, and we reserve the right to issue refunds in our sole discretion.

5.7 Late Payments

Late Fee payments will accrue interest at the rate of one and a half percent (1.5%) of the outstanding balance per month, or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is lower, from the date such payment was due until the date paid. If your Payment Method is declined and you fail to resolve the issue within five (5) business days after TxtCart informs you, your payment will begin to accrue interest under this Section. If TxtCart must initiate a collections process to recover unpaid Fees, then TxtCart will be entitled to recover from Customer all costs of such collections process, including reasonable attorney’s fees.

5.8 Taxes

The Fees do not include Taxes. You are responsible for paying all Taxes associated with your use of the Platform Services. If TxtCart has the legal obligation to pay or collect Taxes for which you are responsible, then TxtCart will invoice you and you will pay for that amount, unless you provide TxtCart with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority. For clarity, TxtCart is solely responsible for Taxes assessable against TxtCart based on its income, property, and employees.
