    Membership; Pricing; Charges on Your Account
      1. General. Please note that the billing policies that are disclosed to you in subscribing to the service are deemed part of this Terms of Use. Notwithstanding anything herein, you are solely responsible for all taxes associated with your use of the Websites and/or Service.
      2. Billing. Chibundle bills you through an online account (your "Billing Account") for use of the Service. You agree to pay all charges at the prices then in effect for any use of the Service by you or other persons (including your agents) using your Billing Account, and you authorize Chibundle to charge your chosen payment provider (your "Payment Method") for the Service. You agree to make payment using that selected Payment Method. 
      3. Payment Method. The terms of your payment will be based on your Payment Method and may be determined by agreements between you and the financial institution, credit card issuer or other provider of your chosen payment method.
      4. Recurring Billing. Our subscription plans to the Service consist of an initial period, for which there is a one-time charge, followed by recurring period charges as agreed to by you. By entering into this Agreement, you acknowledge that your subscription has an initial and recurring payment feature and you accept responsibility for all recurring charges prior to cancellation. Chibundle may submit periodic charges (e.g. quarterly) without further authorization from you, until you provide prior notice (confirmed in writing by Chibundle) that you have terminated this authorization or wish to change your payment method. Such notice will not affect charges submitted before Chibundle could reasonably act. You may change your payment method by a provider of your chosen Payment Method (the "Payment Method Provider") in your account settings on the Service. For your convenience, we take your payment information so that your Chibundle membership will not be interrupted. We auto-renew your membership at the level you selected. Your Chibundle subscription will be automatically extended for successive renewal periods of the same duration as the subscription term originally selected, at the then-current non-promotional subscription rate (if applicable).
      5. Recurring Order Cancellations. To cancel, simply email us at mabuhay@chibundle.com at least two business days before your next billing date reflected in your account settings on the Service. If you cancel your subscription less than two business days before your next billing date your cancellation will be taken into account after you have received your box and no refund will be provided for that term. If you cancel, you may use your subscription until the end of your then-current subscription term. For Annual Subscriptions, you will be eligible for a prorated refund of any portion of the subscription fee paid for the then-current subscription period. If a promotion was availed through the said Annual Subscription, the cost of such promotion shall be deducted from your total refund amount.
      6. Gift Boxes. For gift boxes (i.e. Gift-A-Chibundle), orders will not be renewed after the then-current term expires. You cannot cancel a One Quarter Gift order and the pre-paid fee is non-refundable. You may cancel a One Year Gift and you will be eligible for a prorated refund of any portion of the subscription fee paid for the then-current subscription period, however, if a promotion was availed through the said One Year Gift, the cost of such promotion shall be deducted from your total refund amount.
      7. Current Information Required. YOU MUST PROVIDE CURRENT, COMPLETE AND ACCURATE INFORMATION FOR YOUR BILLING ACCOUNT. YOU MUST PROMPTLY UPDATE ALL INFORMATION TO KEEP YOUR BILLING ACCOUNT CURRENT, COMPLETE AND ACCURATE (SUCH AS A CHANGE IN BILLING ADDRESS, CREDIT CARD NUMBER, OR CREDIT CARD EXPIRATION DATE), AND YOU MUST PROMPTLY NOTIFY CHIBUNDLE IF YOUR PAYMENT METHOD IS CANCELED (E.G., FOR LOSS OR THEFT) OR IF YOU BECOME AWARE OF A POTENTIAL BREACH OF SECURITY, SUCH AS THE UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OR USE OF YOUR USER NAME OR PASSWORD. CHANGES TO SUCH INFORMATION CAN BE MADE AT ACCOUNT SETTINGS. IF YOU FAIL TO PROVIDE CHIBUNDLE ANY OF THE FOREGOING INFORMATION, YOU AGREE THAT CHIBUNDLE MAY CONTINUE CHARGING YOU FOR ANY USE OF THE SERVICE UNDER YOUR BILLING ACCOUNT UNLESS YOU HAVE TERMINATED YOUR SUBSCRIPTION FOR THE SERVICE (CONFIRMED BY YOU IN WRITING UPON REQUEST BY CHIBUNDLE).
      8. Payment Method. The terms of your payment will be based on your Payment Method and may be determined by agreements between you and the financial institution, credit card issuer or other provider of your chosen payment method.
      9. Reaffirmation of Authorization. Your non-termination or continued use of the Service reaffirms that Chibundle is authorized to charge your Payment Method. Chibundle may submit those charges for payment and you will be responsible for such charges. This does not waive Chibundle’s right to seek payment directly from you. Your charges may be payable in advance, in arrears, per usage, or as otherwise described when you initially subscribed to the Service.
      Modifications to Service

      Chibundle reserves the right at any time to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Service (or any part thereof) with or without notice.

Such arbitration shall be held in accordance with the Rules for Expedited Procedures under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association or other mutually agreeable organization, before a single arbitrator (with knowledge and expertise of copyright law if the claim is all or partially for copyright infringement), selected by agreement of both parties or by an independent mediator (with knowledge and expertise of copyright law if the claim is all or partially for copyright infringement) if the parties are unable to agree. The parties shall split the arbitration and/or mediator costs. An award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered and confirmed by the courts of the State of New York, County of New York, or the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. The parties agree that any post-arbitration action seeking to enforce an arbitration award or action seeking equitable or injunctive relief shall be brought exclusively in the courts of the State of New York, County of New York, or the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.
