You must cancel your subscription at least ten (10) days prior to the end of the then-current subscription period in order to avoid being charged the applicable subscription fee for a subsequent renewal term. In no event will termination relieve you of your obligation to pay any fees payable to Biteable for the period prior to the effective date of termination.

6.2. Term of Agreement; Survival. These Terms commence on the date you first accept them and continue until all subscriptions hereunder have expired or have been terminated or you cease use of the Services, whichever is later (the “Term”).

In the event that your Payment Method expires or fails for any reason, Biteable will make several attempts to obtain valid authorization (for authorization failures) or notify you to update your Payment Method (for card validation failures). If your Payment Method does not work after the fourth attempt, or you do not update your Payment Method information or cancel your subscription within 10 days of receipt of written notice, Biteable will cancel your subscription and your account will be suspended. Without limiting our rights or remedies, any overdue amounts shall accrue interest at the rate of 1.5% per month or the maximum rate permitted by relevant laws, whichever is lower.
