Any change to our pricing or payment terms shall only apply to you and become effective in the billing cycle following at least 30 days’ notice of such change to you.
Handbook-Pro is not responsible for all the mobile data usage resulting from the use of the Services. Consult your provider with questions related to billing, as data rate charges and limits may apply.
B. Pricing and Payment Terms
Subscription Fees; Auto-Renewal
All subscription fees plus any applicable taxes and other charges (the “Subscription Fee”) are payable in advance, at the beginning of your subscription term, and at the start of each billing period thereafter, at the then-current Subscription Fee.
You may have the option to pay your Subscription Fee on a monthly basis (a “Monthly Subscription”), or on an annual basis (an “Annual Subscription”). Your subscription with us will automatically renew until you cancel it. If you have a Monthly Subscription, we (or our third-party payment processor) will automatically charge you each month on the anniversary of the commencement of your Monthly Subscription, using the payment information you have provided until you cancel your Monthly Subscription. If you have an Annual Subscription, we (or our third-party payment processor) will automatically charge you annually on the anniversary of the commencement of your Annual Subscription, using the payment information you have provided until you cancel your Annual Subscription. If you have an Annual Subscription, we will send you a reminder at least thirty (30) days prior to each renewal with the then-current Subscription Fee. We may send additional reminders for other subscriptions as required. We reserve the right to change our Subscription Fees for Monthly and Annual Subscriptions. We will provide you advance notice of any increase in the Subscription Fees applicable to your subscription.
If you change or upgrade your subscription, your billing date may also change. If you change from a Monthly Subscription to an Annual Subscription, on your next billing date, you will be charged the then-current Subscription Fee for an Annual Membership, and your Annual Subscription will renew on an annual basis. If the option to change from an Annual Subscription to a Monthly Subscription is available, and you change to a Monthly Subscription, at the next renewal date for your Annual Subscription, you will be charged the then-current Subscription Fee for a Monthly Membership, and your Monthly Subscription will renew on a Monthly basis.
If you purchase a Handbook-Pro subscription, then you are able to apply the features associated with that subscription to one Circle on your Handbook-Pro account and those features will be available for all of the Circle members in the Circle that you apply the subscription to, up to a maximum of six members per Circle (some limitations may apply, please see the Product and Service Terms for more information). Only one Circle member needs to purchase and apply their subscription to a Circle. Handbook-Pro is not responsible if members purchase multiple subscriptions and apply them to the same Circle.
Payment Methods
Handbook-Pro accepts in-app payments such as from third parties like Apple or Google. In the event that Handbook-Pro is unable to charge the card you have provided (e.g., expired credit card), Handbook-Pro will send you a notice to update your card information. You will have a seven (7)-day grace period to update your billing information. If the account is not updated within the seven (7)-day grace period, Handbook-Pro may terminate your subscription.
By purchasing Products or a subscription (each, a “Transaction”), you expressly authorize us (or our third-party payment processor) to charge you for such Transaction. We may ask you to provide additional information relevant to your Transaction, including your credit card number, the expiration date of your credit card and your email and postal addresses for billing and notification (such information, “Payment Information”). You represent and warrant that you have the legal right to use all payment methods represented by Payment Information that you provide us. You acknowledge and agree that we have no liability with respect to any act or omission by your payment provider. When you initiate a Transaction, you authorize us to provide your Payment Information to third parties so we can complete your Transaction and to charge your payment method for the type of Transaction you have selected (plus any applicable taxes and other charges). You may need to provide additional information to verify your identity before completing your Transaction (such information is included within the definition of Payment Information).
Handbook-Pro is not responsible for any charges or expenses you incur resulting from charges billed by Handbook-Pro in accordance with this Agreement (for example, overdrawn accounts, or exceeding credit card limits). By providing a credit card number or other payment method with advance authorization features (e.g., some PayPal accounts, or in-app payments such as from third parties like Apple or Google), you authorize Handbook-Pro to continue charging the payment method for all charges due Handbook-Pro, including taxes, until your account is settled and your subscription is terminated by either you or Handbook-Pro. Handbook-Pro reserves the right to limit the number of accounts that may be charged to a credit card or other payment or identification method per unique user.
Pricing Changes
Prices for subscriptions may change from time to time to reflect inflation or changing business requirements. If they do, and you currently have a subscription, Handbook-Pro will provide you with advance notice of the change via email (or if you have not provided a valid email address, through the Services or in another available manner) before the price change is to take effect. If you do not want to continue at the new price, you can cancel the relevant subscription before the price increase takes effect by following the instructions in Section X (Cancel Your Subscription or Close Your Account), below.
C. Refunds
No Refunds for Handbook-Pro Services/Subscriptions
You may cancel your account at any time in accordance with Section X (Cancel Your Subscription or Close Your Account); however, except as set out in Section X(B) below (Cancel Your Subscription During the Cooling-Off Period) or where prohibited by applicable law, there are no refunds for any unused time on a subscription, any license or subscription fees for any portion of the Service, any content or data associated with your account, or for anything else. Upon canceling any features, your subscription will be valid and you will retain access to the features until the start of your then-current paid period is completed. For example, if you purchase an annual subscription and cancel it two months into the year, you will not receive a refund for the remaining portion of the year, but will instead enjoy the features for the remaining ten months that you have already paid for.

In the unlikely event that we have not been able to resolve your dispute after sixty (60) days, except where prohibited by applicable law, we each agree to resolve all Disputes (except the small claims and equitable claims excluded above) by binding arbitration brought before the arbitration body indicated below. The arbitration will be conducted in the location indicated below, unless you and Company agree otherwise. Each party will be responsible for paying any arbitration filing, administrative and arbitrator fees in accordance with the applicable rules. The award rendered by the arbitrator shall include costs of arbitration and reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses, and any judgement on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. In addition, attorneys’ fees are awardable only as permitted by applicable law.
