1. Payments

If you choose to buy a Tip Jar subscription, you must designate and provide information about your preferred payment method (e.g., credit card, online payment service, in-app purchase using your iTunes account, or any other payment method made available by us) (“Payment Method”). You will immediately be charged for these fees after you tap to buy a Tip Jar subscription. You agree to pay all fees incurred in connection with your username and password for your iTunes account.

Payments for the App are bound by Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions.

2. Fees and Renewals

You may elect to pay membership fees on a annual basis. All membership fees are payable in advance. Membership fees will be billed automatically to the Payment Method at the start of the annual period, as applicable, and will auto-renew until your membership is terminated. The renewal membership fees will be the same as the initial charges unless you are otherwise notified in advance. You authorize us to charge your Payment Method for the appropriate membership charges and fees and for any other purchases you elect to make via the App. We reserve the right to increase membership fees or to institute new fees at any time upon reasonable notice posted in advance on this App. If you upgrade your membership or add new categories of service to your account, such changes may result in a new billing date effective upon the date you elect such upgrade or addition. ALL PURCHASES ARE FINAL AND NO REFUND WILL BE GIVEN FOR UNUSED PORTIONS OF YOUR INITIAL OR ANY MEMBERSHIP PERIOD.

3. Cancellation

You may cancel your subscription by visiting the subscription management options within iOS and macOS. The cancellation of a membership will go into effect at the end of your current billing cycle, and you will have the same level of access to the App through the remainder of such billing cycle. When your subscription ends, your account will display the tip jar. No refunds or credits will be provided by us upon cancellation. You can renew your subscription at anytime without opening a new account, provided that additional fees may apply if you decide to upgrade to a subscription at a later date.
