11. Subscriptions

11.1 Billing of Subscriptions

If you purchase a recurring subscription, you are subscribing to an automatically renewing subscription requiring recurring payments at the stated frequency (e.g., monthly or annually) until you cancel in the manner set forth in Section 2.1. You authorize us to charge your first subscription fee and any applicable taxes on or after the date you purchase your subscription. Your subscription will automatically continue at the selected interval, and you will continue to be charged at the stated price (including any applicable taxes) unless prior to the end of the current subscription period:

1. You terminate your account.
2. You cancel your subscription in accordance with Section 2.1 below.
3. We decline to renew your subscription.

Further details regarding cancellation are included in Section 2 below. As noted below, we may change subscription terms or subscription fees at any time on a go-forward basis at our sole discretion.

After setting up an account, you can access information about your subscription period by visiting Your Account page or contacting us at [email protected].

11.2. Changes to Subscriptions, Products, and Services

We may change subscription terms or subscription fees at any time on a go-forward basis at our sole discretion. If the pricing for your subscription increases, we will notify you and provide you an opportunity to cancel or change your subscription before applying those changes to your account or charging you in connection with an automatic renewal. We may choose at our sole discretion to add, modify, or remove benefits and features from a subscription, product, or service on a temporary or permanent basis. If you do not wish to continue subscribing with the new modifications, you may cancel your subscription. Your failure to cancel or your continued use of the product or service after the changes become effective will constitute your acceptance of the changes. If you accept the new subscription, its terms and conditions will apply to that renewal and all renewals going forward.

11.3 Cancellation and Refunds of Subscriptions

When you cancel a subscription, you cancel only future charges associated with your subscription. You may initiate your cancellation at any time, but the cancellation will become effective at the end of your current billing period. 

In order to avoid future charges, you must cancel your subscription prior to the end of your current subscription period (which you can find on Your Account Page of Moving to Spain). If you cancel prior to the deadline, you will not be charged, or you will be eligible to receive a refund for additional charges. Your cancellation will become effective at the end of your current subscription period, and you will continue to have access to your subscription for the remainder of the subscription period.

Subscribers are given various cancellation options. These methods of cancellation are subject to change. Once your subscription has been canceled, we have the right to remove any information on the Website relating to that subscription, such as your listing on our directory. We explain each of these methods of cancellation below. 

11.4. Suspensions or Cancellations by Us

Without limiting any other remedies, we reserve the right to suspend or terminate your subscription, product, or portion thereof for any reason, with or without notice and without further obligation. If we cancel your subscription, we may give you a pro-rated refund based on the remaining time you cannot use. We reserve the right to issue refunds or credits at our sole discretion.

A waiver by either of us of a default by the other will only be valid if that waiver is in writing; that will not mean that either of us automatically waives any later default.

12.4 Each of the terms and conditions of the Website Terms operates separately. If any court or competent authority decides that any of them are unlawful or unenforceable (in whole or in part), the remaining terms and conditions will remain in full force and effect.

12.5 No provision of the Website Terms is enforceable by a third party under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999, but that does not affect the rights or remedies of any third party apart from under that Act.
