Please read these Terms and Conditions (the “Terms”) carefully before using the http://www.gotree.com website and the GoTree mobile application (together, or individually, the “Site”) operated by Media One Group, LLC d/b/a GoTree (hereafter referred to as “GoTree”, “us”, “we”, or “our”). All of the content, software, and services available through the Site, whether offered by us or a third-party link provided by the Site, are the “Services.”
Your access to and use of the Services is conditioned upon your acceptance of and compliance with these Terms. These Terms apply to all visitors, users, and others who choose to access or use the Services.
By accessing or making use of the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy. If you disagree with any part of the Terms or related documents, then you do not have permission to access the Site or use the Services.
Updates to these Terms
We reserve the right to change, modify, add to or remove all or part of the Terms at any time and such modification shall be effective upon posting by GoTree to the Site. You agree to be bound to any changes to the Terms when you use Services after any such modification is posted. If you do not consent to any of the changes of the Terms, your only remedy is to terminate your use of the Site and the Services. Your failure to terminate use of the Site/Services shall constitute acceptance of the changes to the Terms.
Communications
By creating an account on the Site or subscribing to our newsletter, you agree to receive newsletters, marketing or promotional materials, and other information we may send. However, you may opt out of receiving future communications from us by following the unsubscribe link or instructions provided in any email we send.
Accounts
When you create a user account with us, you represent and warrant that you are at least eighteen (18) years old and that the information you provide us is accurate, complete, and current at all times. Inaccurate, incomplete, or obsolete information may result in the immediate termination of your account and your access to the Site/the Services.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of your user account, including, without limitation, your login credentials. You acknowledge and agree that you shall be solely responsible for any and all activities or actions that occur under your user account. You must notify us immediately upon being made aware of any breach of security or unauthorized use of your user account.
Your choice of username may not violate the intellectual property rights of any other persons, business entities, or governmental entities, and we reserve the right to, in our sole and absolute discretion, reject your choice of username, insist you change your username, assign you a new username, or terminate your user account and/or access to the Site and the Services.
Affiliate marketing disclosure
We do not sell products or services on the Site. You may search for or discover products listed on the Site that are sold by third-party sellers. By clicking on a product link provided on the Site (an “Affiliate Link”), you will be taken to a third-party website through which you may purchase that product. Any purchases made through use of an Affiliate Link may result in an affiliate commission for us.
Subscriptions
We may, in the future, implement a premium subscription service for our users (the “Subscription”). If you purchase or enroll in a Subscription, you will be billed in advance on a recurring, periodic basis (the “Billing Cycle”). Billing cycles are set either on a monthly or annual basis, depending on the type of subscription plan you select when purchasing a Subscription.
At the end of each Billing Cycle, your Subscription will automatically renew at the then-current subscription price for your selected Billing Cycle unless you cancel your Subscription renewal at least one (1) day prior to renewal. You may cancel your Subscription renewal either through your online account management page or by contacting us.
A valid payment method, including a credit card or PayPal authorization, is required to process the payment for your Subscription. You agree to provide us with accurate and complete billing information, including, without limitation, your full name, billing address, telephone number, and valid payment method information. By providing your payment method information, you authorize us to charge all Subscription fees, including any renewals, owed by you to your payment method.
If we are unable to successfully charge your provided payment method for any Subscription renewal, we will automatically terminate your Subscription and access to any features of the Site or Services requiring a Subscription in good standing.
We reserve the right to cancel any Subscription, at any time and for any reason.
Subscription fee changes
We, in our sole discretion, may modify the Subscription fees for the Subscriptions. Any Subscription fee change will become effective at the end of the then-current Billing Cycle. We will provide you with prior notice of any change in Subscription fees to give you an opportunity to terminate your Subscription before such change becomes effective. Your continued use of the Services after the Subscription fee change comes into effect constitutes your agreement to pay the modified Subscription fee amount.
Refunds
We do not offer refunds for Subscription fees paid. The foregoing notwithstanding, you may request a refund under extenuating circumstances by contacting us. We reserve the right, in our sole and absolute discretion, to approve or deny any such refund request.
