Subscription Services
Some PUSHING THE LIMITS Services, may be available only through creation of a subscription account and payment of a fee (“Subscription Services”).
Subscription Term; Automatic Renewals
If you elect to subscribe to a Subscription Service then, in exchange for payment of the applicable fee (the “Fee”), you will have access to such Subscription Service for the period of time indicated during the subscription sign-up process. This may be a fixed period of time specified by PUSHING THE LIMITS, or you may have the option of choosing among automatically renewing subscription term options, such as a subscription that automatically renews on a monthly or annual basis until cancelled, offered at different Fees. The period of time during which you may access the applicable Subscription Service is referred to in these Terms of Use as the “Subscription Term.”
Your ability to access and use a Subscription Service will commence on the date we make such Subscription Service available to you following your payment of the applicable Fee for such service, and will continue until the end of the applicable Subscription Term.
If you have elected to subscribe to a Subscription Service with a Subscription Term that renews automatically (as disclosed to you during the subscription sign-up process) then, unless you affirmatively cancel your subscription before the end of the then-current Subscription Term, (1) we will automatically renew your subscription for subsequent new Subscription Terms of the same duration and will automatically charge the applicable Fee for each Subscription Term to the payment method you have provided, and (2) you hereby authorize us to do so. If you affirmatively cancel your subscription, your subscription will expire, and your access to the Subscription Service will cease, at the end of the then-current Subscription Term.
To continue to access the Subscription Services after your subscription has expired, you will need to purchase a new subscription. You are required to maintain accurate and up-to-date payment information. PUSHING THE LIMITS assumes no responsibility or liability if your subscription fails to renew or otherwise expires because of outdated or incorrect payment information. You should maintain an up-to-date email account to receive communications about subscriptions.
In addition to offering Subscription Services through PUSHING THE LIMITS platforms, we may make it possible for you to subscribe to a Subscription Service through one or more third-party platforms (e.g., Apple, Google, Amazon, etc.). Your subscription will be tied to, and may only be managed via, the platform through which you subscribe. If you subscribe to a Subscription Service through a third-party platform, you must maintain accurate and up-to-date payment information with that third-party platform in order to continue to access such Subscription Service. If you elect to subscribe to a Subscription Service via an PUSHING THE LIMITS platform and you previously purchased a subscription to the same Subscription Service through a third-party platform, it is your responsibility to cancel your subscription with that third-party platform to avoid duplicate charges. Our Contact Us page provides information about canceling Subscription Services managed by certain third-party platforms. Please refer to the third-party platform through which you purchased or redeemed a Subscription Service for more details.
We will not provide any full or partial refund (except where the law requires us to provide a refund) or prorate Fees for Subscription Services, although the refund policies offered by third-party platforms may differ. If you purchased a subscription via a third-party platform, please refer to that platform’s refund policies.
Promotions and Trials
From time to time, we or others on our behalf may offer a Subscription Service through a promotional offer, code or discount, including pursuant to a trial offer of a Subscription Service for a specified time period without payment or at a reduced rate. We may determine your eligibility for a trial or other promotion, and may withdraw or modify any such promotion at any time without prior notice and with no liability, to the extent permitted under applicable law. If you sign up for a Subscription Service through a promotional offer, code or discount, you may also be bound by additional or different terms communicated to you at sign up or otherwise in connection with the applicable offer. You agree to comply with those terms.
For some trials or other promotional offers, we will require you to provide your payment details to start the trial or otherwise access the promotion. By providing such details for a promotional or trial offer and accepting the applicable offer, you agree that we may automatically begin charging your payment method for a subscription to the applicable Subscription Service on the first day following the end of the trial or discounted promotional period at the regular price for such subscription and on a recurring monthly basis or other interval that we have disclosed to you in the applicable offer. If you do not want to pay these charges, you must cancel the applicable Subscription Service before the end of the applicable trial or promotion period. If you signed up for the trial through a third-party platform, you must cancel the applicable subscription through such third-party platform.
Access Restrictions
You are not authorized to access any Subscription Service unless you have created a subscription account and paid the applicable Fee for such service. You may not assist anyone else in accessing any Subscription Service(s) on an unauthorized basis, including by sharing any access credentials we provide to you, sharing links to a Subscription Service, or providing any content or other materials that you obtained through a Subscription Service to third parties. If we require that you use a password to protect your subscription account, please keep your password confidential. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your access credentials and for all usage or activity that occurs within your Subscription Services accounts, including the use of Subscription Services by any third party authorized by you to use your access credentials. Such responsibility expressly includes any purchases made, or other charges incurred, in connection with your use (or an authorized third party’s use) of the Subscription Services. You will be responsible for all charges and all purchasing activity that occurs within your account. We may turn off your access to your Subscription Service without notice, and without providing any refund, if we identify that access credentials have been shared.

If you do not wish to agree to any such Fee change(s), you must cancel the applicable subscription before the effective date of the applicable change.
