VI. Premium Services:

Certain services provided by Gamer Escape, including but not limited to Gamer Escape Plus+ subscriptions, require registration and payment (such registered user is referred to as a “Member” and the paid services are referred to as the “Premium Services”). For questions about your subscription, email [email protected] and include your name and username in all correspondence.

(a). Payment Obligation and Credit Card Authorization. You are responsible for paying any and all charges relating to your Premium Services account, including without limitation, periodic subscription fees (the initial fee and automatic renewals). You grant Gamer Escape’s third party payment processor permission to charge your credit card (or other approved payment mechanism) to pay for all such charges. The subscription fee will be billed at the beginning of your subscription and on each monthly or annual renewal thereafter, dependent on the original subscription term selected at registration, unless you cancel at least prior to the renewal date pursuant to the process set forth below. The Site is subject to maintenance, modifications, improvements, and unexpected outages, during which the Premium Services may not be available. Any temporary outage of Premium Services such outage shall not constitute a breach of these terms and no reimbursement is due to the Member.

(b). Renewal and Cancellation of Your Subscription. You grant Gamer Escape’s third party payment processor permission to automatically renew your subscription and charge your account up to one (1) day prior to the day on which your subscription is scheduled to end. You may cancel your subscription at any time by visiting your user panel and clicking on the cancel button. You acknowledge that cancelling your subscription for any reason will immediately terminate access to the Premium Services and Gamer Escape will not refund the remaining portion of your subscription. Any any remaining time you have on your subscription will be forfeited. All fees, charges and sales are final. Once charged to your credit card (or other approved payment mechanism), the payments are nonrefundable, except in cases of demonstrated fraud, which will be determined at Gamer Escape’s sole discretion.

You acknowledge and agree that the authorization to charge your credit card or other payment mechanism for the Premium Services shall automatically transfer to any successors or assigns of the Premium Service for substantially similar services at the same website. You may not assign or transfer your subscription to any other person or entity. You must be at least 18 years old (or have the permission of a credit card holder who is) to subscribe for Premium Services.

Payment must be made by PayPal or credit cards used through Paypal. If Gamer Escape does not receive payment from the credit card issuer or its agent, you agree to pay all amounts due upon our demand. Your card issuer agreement governs your use of your designated card in connection with the Premium Services, and you must refer to that agreement and not these Site Terms to determine your rights and liabilities as a cardholder. YOU, AND NOT GAMER ESCAPE, ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING ANY AMOUNTS BILLED TO YOUR CREDIT CARD BY A THIRD PARTY EVEN IF THEY WERE NOT AUTHORIZED BY YOU.

GAMER ESCAPE RESERVES THE RIGHT, AT ANY TIME, TO CHANGE ITS FEES AND BILLING METHODS, INCLUDING THE ADDITION OF SUPPLEMENTAL FEES OR SEPARATE CHARGES FOR CONTENT, OR SERVICES PROVIDED BY GAMER ESCAPE, EFFECTIVE THIRTY (30) DAYS AFTER AN ONLINE POSTING AT THE APPLICABLE GAMER ESCAPE WEB SITE.

YOUR CONTINUED USE OF THE PREMIUM SERVICE FOLLOWING THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF A CHANGE TO SUCH FEES AND BILLING METHODS SHALL CONSTITUTE YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF SUCH CHANGE. GAMER ESCAPE IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY FAILURE TO CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION. YOU AGREE AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT GAMER ESCAPE SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY ADJUSTMENTS OR REFUNDS NOT SUBMITTED TO US BY EMAIL ([email protected]) WITHIN 60 DAYS OF SUCH OCCURRENCE OR LACK THEREOF.

(c). Termination of Your Subscription. You acknowledge that Gamer Escape, in its sole discretion, may terminate your ID, password, account (or any part thereof) or use of the Premium Service for a variety of reasons, including, without limitation, if Gamer Escape believes that you have violated or acted inconsistently with the letter or spirit of these Site Terms or any other agreement referred to herein. Gamer Escape may also, in its sole discretion, at any time discontinue providing the Premium Service, or any part thereof, with or without notice. You agree that any termination of your access to the Premium Service under any provision of these Site Terms may be effected without prior notice, and acknowledge and agree that Gamer Escape may immediately deactivate or delete your account and/or bar any further access to the Premium Services. If your account is terminated by Gamer Escape, it will not be automatically renewed and access will be terminated, without refund. Further, you agree that Gamer Escape shall not be liable to you or any third-party for termination of your access to the Premium Services.

(d). Discounted Trial Memberships. Gamer Escape may occasionally offer promotional trial memberships to its Premium Services at special discounted prices or with a free trial period. If you sign up for a trial membership, you will be automatically renewed at the normal subscription rate for the Premium Services at the end of the trial period, unless you cancel before the end of the trial. You must cancel prior to the end of your trial to avoid charges to your credit card. We will continue to bill your credit card for the Premium Services at the standard Premium Services rate and renewal term thereafter, dependent on the original subscription term selected at registration, until you cancel.

(e) Temporary Memberships. Gamer Escape may occasionally offer free temporary memberships to its Premium Services. Such temporary memberships will terminate at the end of the temporary period, will not be automatically renewed, and no fees will be incurred.

You must promptly inform PayPal of any of the following: changes in the expiration date of any credit card used in connection with the Premium Services; changes in home or billing address; and apparent breaches of security, such as loss, theft, or unauthorized disclosure or use of an ID or password. You agree to notify Gamer Escape immediately upon learning of any potential breach of your Premium Services account.

Virtual Rewards have no cash value and may not be redeemed for cash or its equivalent. Each Virtual Reward can only be claimed once. Gamer Escape reserves the right to cancel your Membership immediately if it determines, in its sole discretion, that a Member has claimed, or attempted to claim, a Virtual Reward more than once, and reserves the right to void all claimed Virtual Rewards. Virtual Rewards are void where prohibited by law and do not include any federal, state or local taxes, which are the Member’s sole responsibility.

(d) Claiming Rewards from Plus+ Points. If a Member obtains enough Plus+ Points to earn a physical reward (“Plus+ Reward”), the Plus+ Reward will automatically be claimable in the Member’s user panel. Plus+ Rewards have no cash value and may not be redeemed for cash or its equivalent. Each Plus+ Reward can only be claimed once.

Plus+ Rewards may be issued by the Company or a third-party provider. Plus+ Rewards are void where prohibited by law and do not include any federal, state or local taxes, which are the Member’s sole responsibility.
