E. Payment

Legal Plan Membership Fees. The Plan Member will be charged in accordance with the billing terms in effect at the time of the initial purchase, unless notified of a fee change in accordance with “Fee Adjustments” below. For each Legal Plan, the charge remains the same regardless of the Plan Member’s use or failure to use the Plan Benefits.

For more information regarding canceling the Legal Plan subscription, see the “Default, Termination, or Cancellation” section below.
Billing.
1. To allow payment for the initial term of a Legal Plan, valid credit card information is due at the time of purchase.
2. The Legal Plan subscription will renew automatically monthly on the same date each month (the “Billing Date”) unless and until the Firm receives notice of termination of the Legal Plan subscription pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. If the Firm does not receive a notice of termination, the credit card on file with the Firm will be charged for the renewal term of the Legal Plan subscription on your billing date. If your purchase date is on the 29th through 31st day of any month, your Billing Date for renewals in months with fewer days will fall on the last day of the month. The Firm may adjust your billing date in subsequent renewal periods without notice. This will be reflected by a charge to the Plan Member’s account on a pro-rated basis according to the number of days that have passed since the billing date of your latest renewal charge. Unless otherwise notified in advance by the Firm pursuant to this Agreement, the renewal charge will be equal to the original purchase price for the Legal Plan.
3. The Plan Member agrees to pay the Firm the fees associated with the Legal Plan subscription. Additional discounts may be available for members depending on the plan purchased. A schedule of fees for the standard Legal Plan subscriptions is set forth by Engagement Letter between Firm and Plan Member and is incorporated herein to the Terms of Service.
Attorney Fees.
1. Fees for non-complimentary attorney services provided pursuant to a Legal Plan subscription shall be paid in addition to the Legal Plan subscription fees.

F. Fee Adjustments

The Firm may increase its fees for any Legal Plan subscription effective the first day of a renewal term by providing the Plan Member written notice of the new fees at least 30 days before the beginning of the renewal term. If the Plan Member does not cancel the subscription pursuant to Section G, the Plan Member shall be deemed to have accepted the new fee for that renewal term. Reductions in fees become effective on the next renewal term without any pro rata for the period covered under the prior fee schedule.

G. Default, Termination, or Cancellation

By the Firm.
1. If payment is not made on the due date, as described in Section E above, the Plan Member will have 15 days to correct the credit card information on file and post a payment to your account. If after the expiration of this grace period, the Plan Member has not made any payment on the Legal Plan subscription, such non-payment may result in the Plan Member’s account being placed into default, suspension of service, and/or subsequent termination of the Legal Plan subscription.
2. The Plan Member’s right to use a Legal Plan subscription is subject to any limits established by the Firm or by the Plan Member’s credit card issuer. If payment cannot be charged to the credit card or the charge is returned for any reason, including through a chargeback, the Firm reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to place the Plan Member’s account into default, suspend or terminate services and the account, thereby terminating this Agreement and all the Firm’s obligations hereunder. If a charge made to the Plan Member’s credit card is declined, the Firm may make up to five (5) attempts to bill that card over a 30 day period.
3. If the Plan Member wishes to reactivate its account after such termination, there will be no setup or reactivation fees; provided, however, accounts terminated for non-payment will be reactivated only on receipt of the full amount past due and a written request to reinstate the account. When an expired account is reactivated, the new term begins on the date of reactivation.

If during this period, the Plan Member is not satisfied with the Agreement, the Plan Member may return the Agreement to the Firm and have any prepaid amounts refunded.
