12. MEMBERSHIP, FREE TRIALS, BILLING AND CANCELLATION: Ongoing Membership. Your PDN membership, which may start with a 14-day free trial, will continue year-to-year or month-to-month in accordance with the subscription you originally purchased unless and until you cancel your membership or we terminate it. You must have Internet access and provide us with a current, valid, accepted method of payment (as such may be updated from time to time, “Payment Method”) to use the PDN service. The amount will correspond to the membership level you selected during sign up. You must cancel your membership before it renews each month or year in order to avoid billing of the next month or year’s membership fees to your Payment Method.

Differing Memberships. We may offer a number of membership plans, including special promotional plans or memberships with differing conditions and limitations. Any materially different terms from those described in these Terms of Use will be disclosed at your sign-up or in other communications made available to you. You can find specific details regarding your membership with PDN by calling or emailing PDN Customer Service at (912) 644-3600 or [email protected]. Some promotional memberships may be offered by third parties in conjunction with the provision of their own products and services. We are not responsible for the products and services provided by such third parties. We reserve the right to modify, terminate or otherwise amend our offered membership plans.

Free Trials. Your PDN membership may start with a free trial. The free trial period of your membership lasts for 14 days, or as otherwise specified during sign-up. Free trials may not be combined with any other offers. Free trials are for new and certain former members only. PDN reserves the right, in its absolute discretion, to determine your free trial eligibility.

We will begin billing your Payment Method for monthly or annual membership fees at the end of the free trial period of your membership unless you cancel prior to the end of the free trial period. We may authorize your Payment Method through various methods, including authorizing it through the Period of service of your choice as soon as you register. In some instances, your available balance or credit limit may be reduced to reflect the authorization during your free trial period.

You will not receive a notice from us that your free trial period has ended or that the paying portion of your membership has begun. Call or email PDN Customer Service at (912) 644-3600 or [email protected] monitor your free trial period. We will continue to bill your Payment Method on a timely basis corresponding to your choice of membership for your membership fee until you cancel. The timing will be monthly or annually (“Periodically” or “Period”).

Recurring Billing. By starting your PDN membership, you authorize us to Periodically charge you a recurring membership fee at the then current rate according to the monthly or annual membership Period of your choosing at the date of original purchase (unless you change or terminate your subscription), and any other charges you may incur in connection with your use of the PDN service or your other purchases made through the PDN service to your Payment Method. You will not receive a notice that your current subscription Period is expiring. You acknowledge that the amount billed each Period may vary from Period to Period for reasons that may include differing amounts due to promotional offers and/or changing or adding a plan, and you authorize us to charge your Payment Method for such varying amounts, which may be billed Periodically in one or more charges.

Price Changes. We reserve the right to adjust pricing for our service or any components thereof in any manner and at any time as we may determine in our sole and absolute discretion. Except as otherwise expressly provided for in these Terms of Use, any price changes to your service will take effect following email notice to you.

Billing Cycle. The membership fee for our service will be billed at the beginning of the paying portion of your membership and each month thereafter unless and until you cancel your membership. We automatically bill your Payment Method at the beginning of each reoccurring monthly or annual Period. Membership fees are fully earned upon payment. We reserve the right to change the timing of our billing, in particular, as indicated below, if your Payment Method has not successfully settled. Your renewal date may change due to changes in your Membership. You may contact PDN Customer Service at (912) 644-3600 or [email protected] to monitor your billing cycle. We may authorize your Payment Method in anticipation of membership or service-related charges. As used in these Terms of Use, “billing” shall indicate a charge, debit or other payment clearance, as applicable, against your Payment Method. Unless otherwise stated differently, Periodically refers to your billing cycle.

No Refunds. PAYMENTS ARE NONREFUNDABLE AND THERE ARE NO REFUNDS OR CREDITS FOR PARTIALLY USED PERIODS. Following any cancellation, however, you will continue to have access to the service through the end of your current billing Period. At any time, and for any reason, we may provide a refund, discount, or other consideration to some or all of our members (“credits”). The amount and form of such credits, and the decision to provide them, are at our sole and absolute discretion. The provision of credits in one instance does not entitle you to credits in the future for similar instances, nor does it obligate us to provide credits in the future, under any circumstance.

Payment Methods. You may edit your payment information by contacting PDN Customer Service at (912) 644-3600 or [email protected]. If a payment is not successfully settled, due to expiration, insufficient funds, or otherwise, and you do not edit your Payment Method information or cancel your account (see “Cancellation” below), you remain responsible for any uncollected amounts and authorize us to continue billing the Payment Method, as it may be updated. This may result in a change to your payment billing dates. If you signed up for PDN using your account with a third party as a Payment Method, and wish to cancel your PDN membership at any time, including during your free trial, you may need to do so through such third party, including by visiting your account with the applicable third party and turning off auto-renew, or unsubscribing from, the PDN service. You may also find billing information about your PDN membership by visiting your account with the applicable third party. For certain Payment Methods, the issuer of your Payment Method may charge you a foreign transaction fee or other charges. Check with your Payment Method service provider for details.

Cancellation. You may cancel your PDN membership at any time, and you will continue to have access to the PDN service through the end of your monthly or annual billing period. WE DO NOT PROVIDE REFUNDS OR CREDITS FOR ANY PARTIAL MEMBERSHIP PERIODS OR UNWATCHED MEDIA. To cancel, contact PDN Customer Service at (912) 644-3600 or [email protected].
