We may also require you to follow additional rules, guidelines or other conditions to sign up to use various special features or password-protected areas of this Website, to participate in certain promotions or activities available through this Website, or for other reasons. In such cases, you may be asked to expressly consent to these additional terms, for example, by checking a box or clicking on a button marked “I agree.” This type of agreement is known as a “click-through” agreement.

Subscription Term, Fees and Charges

iConnectEngineers™ offers a 7-day free trial of selected services, as well as various levels of subscriptions and payment options, all of which are set forth on the Site or in the subscription sales contract between you and iConnectEngineers™ (the “Sales Contract”). When you sign up for a subscription service or upgrade from a free trial service to a subscription service, you agree to the fees associated with the subscription of your choice, and your subscription service will auto-renew unless you cancel the subscription in accordance with the Termination and Non-Renewal section of these Terms of Service.

iConnectEngineers™ accepts payment for subscription fees and the applicable sales taxes, only through PayPal. Due to the recurring nature of our subscriptions, we only accept verified PayPal accounts for payment. iConnectEngineers™ will bill your PayPal account the total due for your initial payment and then bill your credit card thereafter for your payments/installments on an auto-renewal basis. Unless your subscription is terminated by you or iConnectEngineers™ as provided elsewhere in these Terms of Service, you agree to pay and authorize iConnectEngineers™ to charge the PayPal account you provided in the amount of the then-current subscription fee (or an installment portion thereof, as applicable) for the subscription term you have chosen in accordance with the schedule provided, along with all applicable sales tax charges associated therewith. The current subscription fees for the various subscription plans may be found on the Site or in your Sales Contract. In the event of a conflict between these Terms of Service, and the terms of your Sales Contract, the terms of the Sales Contract shall control.

If any payment instrument you tender is dishonored or returned unpaid for any reason (including a credit card chargeback) by a financial institution, we will be entitled to collect from you a fee of $25 or such larger amount as may be permitted by applicable law.

If your account with iConnectEngineers™ is past due, your subscription and use of this Website is subject to interruption or termination as provided below, and iConnectEngineers™ may avail itself of all available collection remedies. You agree to reimburse us the for fees of any collection agency we utilize, which may be based on a percentage of the debt, and for all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, we incur in such collection efforts.

If you are a current subscriber, you will maintain your current features, benefits, and pricing. Any changes made to the account or current subscription will forfeit your right to the previous pricing model and will activate the current pricing structure based on number of states, daily page views, additional features and benefits. iConnectEngineers™ reserves the right to move any existing subscriber to the current pricing model if it is determined that an increase in usage warrants that move.
