Term of Agreement.

Unlimited Memberships. For Unlimited, Unlimited Motion, Unlimited Plus and Unlimited Complete memberships (“Unlimited Levels”), the Initial Term of this Agreement shall be one (1) year, starting on the day on which you are granted access to the Member Content.
Month-to-Month Memberships. For Silver Level and Gold Level memberships (“Month-to-Month Levels”), the Initial Term of this Agreement shall be one (1) month, starting on the day on which you are granted access to the Member Content.
Automatic renewal. For both Unlimited Levels and Month-to-Month Levels, at the end of the Initial Term your membership will renew automatically on a month-to-month basis until your membership is cancelled, as provided below.
Changes to membership level. You may change your membership level at any time. If you change your membership to another level of the same type (from one Unlimited Level to another, or from one Month-to-Month Level to another), then this change to your membership level will have no impact on the term of this Agreement. In this case, a change in membership level during the Initial Term will not reduce or extend the Initial Term period, nor will a change in level after the completion of the Initial Term.

If you change your membership from a Month-to-Month Level to an Unlimited Level, then a new Initial Term of one (1) year would start on the day on which you were granted access to Member Content with the new Unlimited Level, and your membership will renew as provided above for Unlimited Levels.

If you change your membership from an Unlimited Level to a Month-to-Month Level, then a transfer fee may be due. This transfer fee is calculated in the same way as the cancelation fee for Unlimited Levels, as provided below. If a transfer fee is due, the change in level will become effective on the day on which the transfer fee is paid. Once the change to a Month-to-Month Level takes place, your membership will renew as provided above for Month-to-Month Levels.

Payment terms. You agree to pay a flat recurring Membership Fee for access to Member Content during the term of this Agreement.

If you choose to pay annually, your Membership Fee is due each year on the month and day you first purchased a membership subscription.
If you choose to pay monthly, your Membership Fee is due on the day of the month on which you first purchased a membership subscription. You may change the monthly billing date to an earlier date by contacting SermonView in writing; however, this will not change the length of the Initial Term.
You authorize SermonView and your financial institution to withdraw funds from your account or charge your credit card for membership fees, using the account information you have provided. You acknowledge that the origination of debit or credit transactions to your account must comply with the provisions of local laws. You affirm that this authorization is to remain in full force and effect until SermonView has received written notification from you of its termination in such time and manner as to afford SermonView and your financial institution a reasonable opportunity to act on it. The merchant name that will appear on your bank statement is “SermonView.”
You agree to pay the Membership Fee in full, and no rights are granted under this Agreement until all currently due payments have been made. Any rights granted under this Agreement shall be withdrawn if a payment is missed; these rights will not be reinstated until all past due amounts are made in full. A service charge of two percent (2%) per month, or the amount allowed by law, will be charged on any unpaid balance. You shall be liable for all past due amounts, interest and costs of collection, including attorneys’ fees. Please see below for terms applicable to refunds in the event of cancellation.

Canceling your membership during the Initial Term. You may cancel your membership at any time. Except as provided below for trial periods, if you cancel prior to 30 days before the end of the Initial Term, a cancellation fee may be incurred.

If you are paying your Membership Fee monthly and cancel during the Initial Term, the cancellation fee is the total value of all Member Content downloaded at the current non-member price, up to the total of all Membership Fees payable during the Initial Term, with any Membership Fees previously paid credited toward this cancellation fee. If any Membership Fees previously paid are more than the total value of all Member Content downloaded, then no cancellation fee would be due. In no event will a refund be issued if you are paying your Membership Fee monthly.

For example, if a member paying $20 per month wishes to cancel 5 months into the initial term after downloading Member Content worth $200, the cancellation fee would be $200, less Membership Fees previously paid of $100, for a net fee of $100. In this example, if the value of the Member Content was less than $100, then no cancellation fee would be incurred. The highest the cancellation fee would be in this example, regardless of the value of Member Content downloaded, is $240, which is the total of all Membership Fees payable during the Initial Term, for a net fee of $140 after crediting 5 months of Membership Fees.
If you are paying your Membership Fee annually and cancel during the Initial Term, you may be eligible for a refund of a portion of your annual payment. This refund is equal to the annual Membership Fee minus the higher of:
1. 1/12th of the annual Membership Fee, times the number of full or partial months that have passed since the start of the Initial Term, plus fifty dollars ($50.00); or
2. the total value of all Member Content downloaded during the Initial Term, at the current non-member price, up to the value of the annual Membership Fee.
If either of these is equal to or higher than the value of the annual Membership Fee, then no refund will be issued.

For example, if a member who made an annual payment of $300 wishes to cancel 5 months into the initial term after downloading Member Content worth $200, a refund for $100 would be issued. In this example, if the value of the content was worth over $300, no refund would be issued, while the highest refund possible in this example would be $125, if the value of Member Content was $175 or less.

Canceling your membership after the Initial Term. After the Initial Term, you may cancel your membership at any time by giving notice to SermonView.

If you are paying your Membership Fee monthly, all payments prior to the cancellation date will be due and payable as scheduled. No cancellation fee will be due, and no refund given.
If you are paying your Membership Fee annually, you may be eligible for a refund of a portion of your annual payment, prorated for the period of time between the last payment and the cancellation date. The formula used to determine any refund due is: the annual Membership Fee, minus 1/12th of the annual Membership Fee times the number of full or partial months between the last annual payment and the cancellation date.

For example, if a member paying $300 per year cancels 5 months after the last annual payment, a refund for $175 would be issued.

Cancellation will be effective immediately. This Membership Agreement will terminate upon cancellation of your membership and payment of any amount due. After the termination of this Agreement, you may continue to use Member Content that you licensed under this Agreement, pursuant to the terms of the content License Agreement in force at the time of cancellation.
Warranty. SermonView warrants that it has the legal right to grant licenses to the Member Content on behalf of the copyright owners. SermonView further warrants that the Member Content will be free from defects in materials and workmanship under normal use for a period of 30 days from the date of license.

Any and all disputes arising out of, under or in connection with this Agreement, including without limitation, its validity, interpretation, performance and breach, shall be submitted to arbitration in the State of Washington, pursuant to the laws in effect at the time arbitration is demanded.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, SermonView shall have the right to commence and prosecute any legal or equitable action or proceeding before any non-U.S.A. court of competent jurisdiction to obtain injuctive or other relief in the event that, in the opinion of SermonView, such action is necessary or desirable.
