2.4 Suspension of Mode Subscription Program. Mode may, in its sole discretion, immediately temporarily suspend access to or use of the Mode Subscription Program by Customer or any Household User if Customer or any Household User violates a material restriction or obligation of Customer or Household Users in this Agreement (including any Policies), or if in Mode’s reasonable judgment, the Mode Subscription Program or any component thereof is about to suffer a significant threat to security or functionality. Mode will provide advance notice to Customer of any such suspension in Mode’s reasonable discretion based on the nature of the circumstances giving rise to the suspension. Mode will use reasonable efforts to re-establish the affected Mode Subscription Program promptly after Mode determines, in its reasonable discretion, that the situation giving rise to the suspension has been cured. Mode may terminate access to the Mode Subscription Program if any of the foregoing causes of suspension are not cured within thirty (30) days after Mode’s initial notice thereof.

The Mode Subscription is a weekly recurring subscription and your Subscription fee is due and payable every month until you cancel in accordance with these terms. 

4.2 Continuous Subscriptions.​WHEN CUSTOMER REGISTERS FOR A MODE SUBSCRIPTION, CUSTOMER EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT (A) MODE (OR OUR THIRD PARTY PAYMENT PROCESSOR) IS AUTHORIZED TO CHARGE CUSTOMER AT THE BEGINNING OF EVERY MONTH FOR CUSTOMER’S MODE SUBSCRIPTION (IN ADDITION TO ANY APPLICABLE TAXES AND OTHER CHARGES) FOR AS LONG AS CUSTOMER’S MODE SUBSCRIPTION CONTINUES, AND (B) CUSTOMER’S MODE SUBSCRIPTION IS CONTINUOUS UNTIL CUSTOMER CANCELS IT OR MODE SUSPENDS OR STOPS PROVIDING ACCESS TO THE MODE SUBSCRIPTION PROGRAM IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS AGREEMENT.

4.3 Cancellation Policy. ​CUSTOMER MAY CANCEL THEIR MODE SUBSCRIPTION AT ANY TIME BY EMAILING MODE AT earn@modephone.com INDICATING CUSTOMER’S WISH TO CANCEL THE MODE SUBSCRIPTION WITH A SUBJECT LINE OF “MODE PHONE CANCELLATION.” WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, CUSTOMER WILL NOT RECEIVE A REFUND FOR ANY PREVIOUSLY PAID SUBSCRIPTION FEES. 

4.4 Payment and Billing Information. ​By providing a payment method that Mode accepts, Customer represents and warrants that Customer is authorized to use the designated payment method and that Customer permits Mode (or our third party payment processor) to charge Customer’s payment method for the total amount of Customer’s Mode Subscription or other purchase (including any applicable taxes and other charges). If the payment method cannot be verified, is invalid or is otherwise not acceptable, Customer’s Order or Mode Subscription may be suspended or canceled. Customer must resolve any problem Mode encounters in order to proceed with Customer’s Order. In the event Customer wants to change or update payment information associated with Customer’s account, Customer  should contact Mode customer service at earn@modephone.com to request a change to Customer’s payment information. Customer acknowledges that the amount billed may vary due to promotional offers, changes to your Mode Subscription or changes in applicable taxes or other charges, and Customer authorizes Mode (or our third party payment processor) to charge Customer’s payment method for the corresponding amount.  To the extent that Customer’s payment method for the total amount of Customer’s Mode Subscription is rejected for the full amount, Mode hereby reserves the right to attempt to collect a partial payment as set forth below.

IN THE EVENT MODE IS UNABLE TO CHARGE YOUR PAYMENT SOURCE THE FULL AMOUNT OF THE MODE WEEKLY SUBSCRIPTION PAYMENT, YOU AGREE THAT MODE MAY CHARGE YOUR PAYMENT SOURCE AND THE BENEFITS PROVIDED TO YOU ON ACCOUNT OF YOUR SUBSCRIPTION MAY CHANGE AS FOLLOWS:

All prices are shown in USD or another local currency, as applicable, and applicable taxes and other charges, if any, are additional. Mode reserves the right to adjust prices as Mode may determine in its sole discretion, at any time and without notice; provided, however, that if Mode changes the amounts or other charges associated with your Mode Subscription, Mode will use reasonable efforts to provide advance notice of such changes in accordance with this Section 4. Mode will not, however, be required to notify Customer of changes in any applicable taxes.

Mode will collect applicable sales tax if it determines that Mode has a duty to collect sales tax. Mode will present any taxes that it is required to collect at checkout, but note that actual taxes charged may be adjusted from the amount shown at checkout. Several factors may cause this, such as variances between processor programs and changes in tax rates.

4.7 Risk of Loss​. Risk of loss to any Mode Device, Decommissioned Hardware and Accessories will pass to Customer when Mode places such Mode Device, Decommissioned Hardware and Accessories in the possession of the carrier for shipment.
