By choosing to use Payment Services, you agree to pay us, through the Payment Processor, all charges at the prices then in effect for any use of such Payment 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 payments 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.
(b.) PAYMENT METHOD. The terms of your payment will be based on your Payment Method and may be determined by agreements between you and the financial institution, credit card issuer or other provider of your chosen Payment Method. If we, through the Payment Processor, do not receive payment from you, you agree to pay all amounts due on your Billing Account upon demand.

YOU MUST PROMPTLY UPDATE ALL REQUIRED INFORMATION TO KEEP YOUR BILLING ACCOUNT CURRENT, COMPLETE AND ACCURATE (INCLUDING PROVIDING A CHANGE IN BILLING ADDRESS, OR UPDATED CREDIT CARD NUMBERS, OR CREDIT CARD EXPIRATION DATES), AND YOU MUST PROMPTLY NOTIFY US OR OUR PAYMENT PROCESSOR IF YOUR PAYMENT METHOD IS CANCELED (E.G., FOR LOSS OR THEFT) OR IF YOU BECOME AWARE OF A POTENTIAL BREACH OF SECURITY, SUCH AS THE UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OR USE OF YOUR USER NAME OR PASSWORD.

(e) REAFFIRMATION OF AUTHORIZATION. Your non-termination or continued use of a Payment Service reaffirms that we are authorized to charge your Payment
Method for that Paid Service. We may submit those charges for payment and you will be responsible for such charges. This does not waive our right to seek payment directly from you.
