Subscription

When you purchase a subscription to access GetVM content (“Subscription”), it will be billed automatically in advance on a recurring and periodic basis (“Billing Cycle”). Billing cycles are set on a monthly or annual, based on the subscription plan you select.

To process the payment for your Subscription, a valid payment method, such as a credit card or PayPal, is required. By providing your payment information, you authorize GetVM to charge all Subscription fees incurred through your account to your provided payment methods.

Your Subscription will automatically renew at the end of each Billing Cycle and continue until canceled by you or by us. To avoid future charges, you must cancel your Subscription at least 24 hours before the end of the current Billing Cycle. Cancellation can be done through your online account management page or by contacting GetVM customer support.

Fees

Subscription fees are as listed on the Service. GetVM reserves the right to modify these fees at any time. Changes in Subscription fees will take effect at the end of your current Billing Cycle.

Payments

We reserve the right to refuse or cancel orders for reasons such as product or service availability, errors in descriptions or prices, or for suspected fraud or unauthorized transactions.

If automatic billing fails, GetVM will send an electronic invoice requiring manual payment within a specified deadline for the billing period indicated on the invoice.
