  1. Membership/Subscription

i. Your Gloss, LLC membership is a subscription based model. The Service will continue month-to-month and automatically renew unless and until you cancel your membership, payment method is not valid, or we terminate it. You must have Internet access and must provide Apple with a current, valid, accepted method of payment to use the Gloss, LLC service. Apple will bill the monthly membership fee to your payment method that is connected to your Apple ID. You must cancel your membership before it renews each month in order to avoid billing of the next month’s membership fees to your Payment Method. All payment methods are connected to your Apple ID.

 

ii. iTunes Billing. If you are using your iTunes account to pay for Gloss, LLC’s services the Gloss, LLC Terms of Use still apply to you.

 

When you subscribe, you will be signing up to pay for your subscription using your iTunes account. By activating your subscription, you agree that at the end of any trial period and then every month thereafter unless and until you cancel your subscription, your iTunes account will automatically be charged your monthly subscription fee. Your account will be charged within 24 hours before the end of any trial or monthly subscription period.

 

To cancel your subscription, please turn off auto-renewal through your iTunes account. This will cancel your subscription, effective at the end of your current monthly subscription period. When you turn off auto-renewal in the middle of a monthly subscription period, you will still be able to access the content for the remainder of that period, but you will not receive any refund for any partial month’s fee from the time you turn off auto-renewal. So if you would like to avoid being charged for the next monthly period, please turn off auto-renewal at least 24 hours before the end of any trial or current monthly subscription period.

 

  1. Free Trials

i. Your Gloss, LLC membership may start with a free trial. The free trial period of your membership lasts for 30 days, or as otherwise specified during sign-up. Free trials are for new and certain former members only. Gloss, LLC reserves the right, in its absolute discretion, to determine your free trial eligibility. It is very important to understand that you will not receive a notice from Gloss, LLC that your free trial has ended and that payment for your subscription is due. 

 

ii. We will automatically begin billing your Payment Method connected to your Apple ID for monthly membership fees at the end of the free trial period of your membership and your membership will automatically renew monthly unless you cancel prior to the end of the free trial period. To learn how to view the specific details of your membership, including monthly membership price and end date of your free trial period, visit https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202039. We may authorize your Payment Method through various methods, including authorizing it up to approximately one month of service 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. The payment method connected to your Apple ID will automatically be charged if the user fails to cancel subscription after free trial. Free trials are for new and certain former members only.

 

iii. Canceling Subscription after Free Trial Period. If user should choose not to continue using Gloss, LLC after the 30 day trial period any information inputted into the Service will not be accessible; the user must manually retrieve all information desired prior to when the subscription will expire.

 

  1. Billing

i. Recurring Billing. By starting your Gloss, LLC membership and providing or designating a Payment Method, you authorize us and Apple, INC. to charge you a monthly membership fee at the then current rate, and any other charges you may incur in connection with your use of the Gloss, LLC Service such as taxes or possible transaction fees, to your Payment Method. You acknowledge that the amount billed each month may vary from month to month for reasons that may include differing amounts due to promotional offers, including promotional code redemption, and you authorize us to charge your Payment Method for such varying amounts, which may be billed monthly in one or more charges.

 

ii. 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.

 

iii. Billing Cycle. The membership fee for our services 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 each month on the calendar day corresponding to the commencement of your paying membership. 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. In the event your paying membership began on a day not contained in a given month, we may bill your Payment Method on a day in the applicable month or such other day as we deem appropriate. For example, if you started your Gloss, LLC membership or became a paying member on January 31st, your next payment date is likely to be February 28th, and your Payment Method would be billed on that date. Your renewed date may change due to changes in your Membership. Learn how to view,      manage, and cancel your membership here: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202039.

Unless otherwise states differently, month or monthly refers to your billing cycle.  

 

iv. 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.

 

v. Payment Methods. Any changes to Payment Method must be done through your Apple ID. For information on how to change or update your Payment Method please visit https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201266. If 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 or if you used a third party as Payment Method, to continue billing the Payment Method, as it may be updated. This may result in a change to your payment billing dates. 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.

 

vi. Cancellation. You may cancel your Gloss, LLC membership at any time, and you will continue to have access to the Gloss, LLC service through the end of your monthly billing period.

Time Limitation on Claims

You agree that any claim you may have arising out of or related to your relationship with Gloss, LLC must be filed within one year after such claim arose; otherwise, your claim is permanently barred.

 

Governing Law & Venue

Terms of Use shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state of Nevada, U.S.A. without regard to conflict of laws provisions. These terms will not limit any consumer protection rights that you may be entitled to under the mandatory laws of your state of residence.

If any provision of these Terms of Use is held to be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable during arbitration or by a court of competent jurisdiction, then that provision will be deemed severable from these Terms of Use and will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. Gloss, LLC’s failure to insist upon or enforce strict performance of any provision of these Terms will not be construed as a waiver of any provision or right.

Gloss, LLC reserves the right to change this dispute resolution provision, but any such changes will not apply to disputes arising before the effective date of the amendment. This dispute resolution provision will survive the termination of any or all of your transactions with Gloss, LLC.

Any purported assignment or delegation by you without the appropriate prior written consent of Gloss, LLC will be null and void. Gloss, LLC may assign these Terms of Use or any rights hereunder without your consent. If any provision of these Terms of Use is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or otherwise unenforceable, the parties nevertheless agree that such portion will be deemed severable from these Terms of Use and will not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions, and the remaining provisions of the Terms of Use remain in full force and effect. Neither the course of conduct between the parties nor trade practice will act to modify the Terms of Use. These Terms of Use do not confer any third-party beneficiary rights.
