These Terms of Service ("Terms", "Terms of Service") govern the client (“you” or “your”) relationship with https://shieldbcp.com website (the "Service") operated by KingsBridge ("us", "we", or “our"). Please read these Terms of Service carefully before using the Service. Your access to and use of the Service is based on your acceptance of and compliance with these Terms. These Terms apply to all visitors, users and others who access or use the Service. By accessing or using the Service you agree to be bound by these Terms and accept all legal consequences. If you do not agree to these terms and conditions, in whole or in part, please do not use the Service.
Some parts of the Service are billed on a subscription basis ("Subscription(s)"). You will be billed in advance on a recurring and periodic basis ("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 under the exact same conditions unless you cancel it or KingsBridge cancels it. You may cancel your Subscription renewal by contacting your KingsBridge customer representative more than 60 days in advance of the anniversary. A valid payment method, including credit card, PayPal or (Electronic Funds Transfer) EFT, is required to process the payment for your Subscription. You shall provide KingsBridge with accurate and complete billing information including full name, address, state, zip code, telephone number, and a valid payment method information. By submitting such payment information, you automatically authorize KingsBridge to charge all Subscription fees incurred through your account to any such payment instruments. Should automatic billing fail to occur for any reason, KingsBridge will issue an electronic invoice indicating that you must proceed manually, within a certain deadline date, with the full payment corresponding to the billing period as indicated on the invoice.
Should invoice(s) be unpaid, for any reason, your access to SHEILD will see a gradual reduction in functionality as per the following scale:
- Up to 45 days overdue, the service will remain active.
- From 46 to 60 days overdue, the service will not allow for any publishing.
- From 61 to 75 days overdue, the service will become read only.
- At day 76 overdue, the service will become inactive.
The service can only be re-activated when the outstanding balance is paid and the subscription is paid 6 months in advance.
KingsBridge may, at its sole discretion, offer a Subscription with a free trial for a limited period of time ("Free Trial”). You may be required to enter your billing information in order to sign up for the Free Trial. If you do enter your billing information when signing up for the Free Trial, you will not be charged by KingsBridge until the Free Trial has expired. On the last day of the Free Trial period, unless you cancelled your Subscription, you will be automatically charged the applicable Subscription fees for the type of Subscription you have selected. At any time and without notice, KingsBridge reserves the right to (i) modify the terms and conditions of the Free Trial offer, or (ii) cancel such Free Trial offer.
KingsBridge, in its sole discretion and at any time, may modify the Subscription fees for the Subscriptions. Any Subscription fee change will become effective at the end of the then-current Billing Cycle. KingsBridge will provide you with a reasonable 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 Service after the Subscription fee change comes into effect constitutes your agreement to pay the modified Subscription fee amount.
Except when required by law, paid Subscription fees are non-refundable.
