Terms of Sale
Last Updated: 08 June 2023
Hard Times Media, Inc. (“We” or “Website”) hereby allow you to access certain premium features or content in exchange for a one-time or recurring fee, as applicable to the relevant features or content, such as our “GoPro” enhanced social media and accompanying website offerings, (each a “Paid Service” and collectively the "Paid Services"). Your transactions and any other use of the Paid Services are subject to these Website Paid Service Terms of Sale ("Terms”).

Please read the Terms carefully. If you do not understand the Terms, or do not accept any part of them, then you may not use the Paid Services.
Each time you place an order for a Paid Service (including when you order individual subscriptions or items of content), you enter into a separate contract for services on these Terms. When you complete a purchase, you signify that you wish to enter into a binding contract for the provision of the applicable Paid Services.
2. Payment, Refund and Cancellation Policy
Website accepts payment via the current payment method indicated prior to purchase, which may include any other form of payment that we make available to you from time to time. You must tender valid payment or have a valid accepted form of payment on file in order to purchase Paid Services. You agree to abide by any relevant Terms of Service or other legal agreement, whether with Website or a third party, that governs your use of a given payment processing method. Prices for any Paid Service may change at any time, and Website does not provide price protection or refunds in the event of a price reduction or promotional offering. You agree to pay for any Paid Service that you order. Website will charge your credit card or other form of payment for the price listed on the relevant Paid Service offer, along with any additional amounts relating to applicable taxes, bank fees and currency fluctuations. If you purchase any automatically renewing subscriptions, you agree that Website will charge the payment method on file on the first day of each billing period for the relevant subscription, and if the payment method on file becomes invalid due to an expired credit card or other similar reason and we are unable to charge you on the next billing period, Website reserves the right to immediately revoke your access to any Paid Service you have ordered until you update your payment method. If you fail to update your payment method within a reasonable amount of time, Website may cancel your subscription.
Billing periods may be monthly, quarterly, annually or a onetime life time membership. The renewal period applicable to any subscription will be the same as the initial billing period for the Paid Services.
If Website is required to collect or pay any taxes in connection with your purchase of a Paid Service, such taxes will be charged to you at the time of each purchase transaction. Additionally, if required by law, you are responsible for reporting and paying certain taxes in connection with your purchase and use of a Paid Service. Such taxes may include duties, customs fees, or other taxes (other than income tax), along with any related penalties or interest, as applicable to your purchase or country of purchase.

4. License
Your use of the Paid Services must be only for personal, non-commercial use. You agree not to use any Paid Service, in whole or in part in connection with any public presentation even if no fee is charged (except where such use would not constitute a copyright infringement). You are receiving a non-exclusive license to access the Paid Service and all rights, title and interest in the Paid Services (including any content offered through the Paid Services) not expressly granted to you in these Terms are reserved by Website and its licensors. If Website reasonably determines that you violated any of the terms and conditions of the Paid Service Terms, your rights under this Section 4 will immediately terminate and Website may terminate your access to the Paid Service and/or your Website account without notice and without refund to you.

In addition, we reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any Paid Service with or without notice to you and we will not be liable to you or any third party for any such modifications, suspension, or termination. However, this will not affect your ability to request a refund as described above.
In certain cases, content available within a Paid Service may become unavailable. Website will have no liability to you for any such unavailability. We may also change these Paid Service Terms from time to time so we encourage you to periodically review the most up-to-date version here.
