We may bill you simultaneously for more than one of your prior billing periods. Once we have informed you that the Service will be provided indefinitely or automatically renewed, we may automatically renew your Service and charge you for any renewal term. You must keep all information in your billing account current. If you tell us to stop using your payment method and we no longer receive payment from you for the paid Service, we may cancel that Service. Your notice to us will not affect charges we submit to your billing account before we reasonably could act on your request.
We'll notify you in advance, either through the Service or to the email address you have most recently provided to us, if we change the price of the Service. If you don't agree to these changes, you must cancel and stop using the Service by notifying us at hello@kolekt.io. If you cancel, your Service ends at the end of your current Service period or, if we bill your account on a period basis, at the end of the period in which you canceled.
Unless we notify you otherwise, if you're participating in any Free Trial, you must cancel the Service by the end of the trial period to avoid incurring new charges. If you do not cancel your Service and we have told you the Service will convert to a paid subscription at the end of the trial period, you authorize us to charge your payment method for the Service.
We may use a third party to collect past due amounts. You must pay for all reasonable costs we incur to collect any past due amounts, including reasonable attorneys' fees and other legal fees and costs. We may suspend or cancel your Service if you fail to pay in full on time.
