4. PRICE AND TERMS OF PAYMENT

4.1 Prices payable for Products or Services are those in effect at the time of dispatch or delivery, unless otherwise expressly agreed. Prices may be indicated on the Site or an order acknowledgement but the authoritative price in the event of any discrepancy, is the price that is notified to you on our Acceptance.

4.2 We have the right at any time prior to our Acceptance to withdraw any discount and/or to revise prices to take into account increases in costs including (without limitation) costs of any materials, carriage, labor or the increase or imposition of any tax, duty or other levy and any variation in exchange rates. We also reserve the right to notify you of any mistakes in Product descriptions or errors in pricing prior to product dispatch. In such event if you choose to continue with fulfillment of the order, you acknowledge that the Product or Service will be provided in accordance with such revised description or corrected price.

4.3 The places that we deliver to are listed on the Site (“Territory“). Unless otherwise specified, prices quoted are

  • 4.3.1 exclusive of the costs of shipping or carriage to the agreed place of delivery within the Territory (charges for which are stated on the Site). You agree to pay for shipping or carriage of Products as such costs are specified by us on the Site when you submit your purchase order.

4.4 Payment shall be made prior to delivery and by such methods as are indicated on the Site (and not by any other means unless we have given our prior agreement).

4.7 Where the payment is invoiced, each invoice shall be due on and made in full within thirty (30) days of the date of relevant invoice. If at any time you fail to pay any amount due on the relevant due date, we may by notice declare all invoiced amounts unpaid at that date to be immediately due and payable.

4.8 No counterclaim or set-off may be deducted from any payment due without our written consent. We may also take action against you for the price of Products at any time after payment has become due even though property in those Products may not yet have passed to you.

  • 4.9.1 Consent to have the payment (credit card) information, provided at the time of the purchase, collected and stored in order to facilitate future transactions (recurring or initiated by you). Your information will not be used without your consent beyond the scope of purchased subscription nor will it be shared with a third party.

  • 4.9.4 This authorization will remain in effect until the Service expires or gets cancelled.

4.10 Prior to your product expiration date, UC DISTRIBUTION LLC will notify you by email to remind you that your product license will expire and give you the ability to extend it or to cancel it.

In the situation where you did cancel the Service (following the above mentioned instructions), but we failed to disable the automatic renewal, we will refund the amount charged by applying a credit to your credit card or debit card account.

4.12 Your Product license renewal may also be declined if the charge to your credit card or debit card is rejected due to card expiration, insufficient funds or other reasons. If you are covered by the Service and by the time of your Product expiration have not received your new license key, please contact our Customer Service to renew your license manually.
