3.PAYMENTS and BILLING

As a Member, you agree to the following benefits and Terms: You must provide us with accurate contact and payment information, including name, shipping address, and credit or debit card number. Please make sure to keep this information up to date at all times. We save your payment information for ease of future shipments and charges. All such personal information is subject to the Privacy Policy. Piacere may add an additional charge to your subscription in the case of worldwide shipment disruption (such as a global pandemic, natural disaster, etc.) when normal shipping methods are not possible. In such cases, Piacere may be required to upgrade your shipping method to a higher class — unless you make a request to opt-out of the shipment upgrade prior to the charge. You are responsible for any fees or charges your issuing bank or credit card provider may charge you. If your payment to us is returned for any reason, we may bill your account again directly and seek payment by another method including a mailed statement. Any account changes made after the last day of each month should not be expected to reflect on the subscription until the following shipping period. In an effort to get boxes to our subscribers as soon as possible, we begin processing shipments prior to the signup cutoff. As a result, all address updates must be made within 48 hours prior to the subscription renewal date (see “Your Subscription Contract” below for renewal date information) to ensure they are correctly reflected on your shipment. Our shipping service does not include the forwarding with your mail to an updated address. Any forwarding fees incurred will not be reimbursed or credited to your subscription. Any amount paid for the boxes and services are final and non-refundable.

4.YOUR SUBSCRIPTION CONTRACT

You acknowledge that your subscription includes initial and recurring payments, and you accept responsibility for all recurring charges prior to cancellation. Your subscription will be automatically renewed at the current subscription rate. To cancel your subscription at any time, please contact info@tamate-bako.comat least 48 hours before your next scheduled renewal date. All subscriptions are renewed on the same day as the signup date. Any changes to your subscription will take effect on the next renewal date. Upon cancellation, you may use your subscription until the end of the current subscription period. Piacere may submit periodic charges (e.g., monthly) without further authorization from you until you provide prior notice of termination. If you cancel your subscription, you will not receive a refund for any portion of the subscription fee paid for the current subscription period. Resuming a subscription will automatically generate an invoice for new orders under your current plan.

5.SHIPPING

Insurance: All boxes that ship with a trackable shipping option are automatically covered by insurance.
