Free Trials; Special Offers
Your access to the Services may begin with a free trial and/or offer. The free trial and/or offer period of your membershiplasts for the period specified when you sign up. Free trials are for new members only. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to determine your free trial eligibility and to provide you with special offers.
At the end of any free trial or offer period, we will begin billing you for the monthly membership fee unless you cancel prior to the end of the free trial or offer period. You will not receive a notice from us that your free trial or offer period has ended. We will continue to bill your Payment Method on a monthly basis for your membership fee until you cancel. For additional information, see "Membership Autorenewals" above.
By starting a free trial and providing or designating a Payment Method, you authorize us to charge you a monthly membership fee at the then-current rate.
Membership Autorenewals; Cancellations
A. Membership Autorenewals (Generally)
Your membership will automatically renew monthly, and we will charge your Payment Method on a monthly basis, until you cancel your membership (see "Cancellations" below for instructions on how to cancel your membership) or we terminate your membership. If you cancel your membership, you will continue to have access to the Services through the end of your membership period. If you started your membership with a free trial or offer, you will be charged beginning at the expiration of your free trial or offer period.
Unless you notify us before a charge to your Payment Method that you want to cancel or do not want to automatically renew, you understand and agree that your membership will automatically renew and you authorize us, without notice to you (unless required by applicable law) to collect the then-applicable membership price by charging the Payment Method that we have on file for you. If we cannot charge the Payment Method that we have on file for you, we will contact you via email. We reserve the right to change the calendar day that we bill you if your Payment Method cannot be charged.
B. Timing of Automatic Renewal Charges; When to Cancel to Avoid Automatic Renewal Charges for the Following Month
We automatically bill the membership renewal fee to your Payment Method each month on the calendar day corresponding to the commencement of your membership. If you signed up for a free trial, the calendar day will be based on the date that your paying membership commences following the expiration of your free trial period.
If your membership began on a day that is not contained within a given month, we may bill your Payment Method on a day in that month that we deem appropriate in our sole discretion. For example, if you started your membership on December 31, your Payment Method would next be charged on January 31 and again on approximately February 28.
In order to avoid charges for the following month's membership fees to your Payment Method, you must cancel your membership at least 48 hours prior to the date that your membership renews each month. For example, if you began your membership on April 1, you must cancel on or before April 28 in order to avoid paying membership fees for the following month (in this example, May 1 through May 31).
C. Cancellations
You may cancel your membershipat any time by logging into your account and selecting the "Cancel" option in your profile.
When you cancel a membership, you cancel only future charges associated with your membership. You may cancel at any time, but the cancellation will not become effective until the end of your current billing period and you will cancel only future charges associated with your membership. You will not receive a refund for the current billing cycle. For additional information, please see "MembershipAutorenewals (Generally)" and "Timing of Automatic Renewal Charges; When to Cancel to Avoid Automatic Renewal Charges for the Following Month" above.
Except in the case of certain promotions, you can change or cancel your membershipat any time. Memberships sold as part of a promotion, subject to an annual commitment, or as an add-on may have different cancellation or refund policies that will be made clear at the time of purchase.

You may choose a membershippackage for six (6) months or twelve (12) months and pay in advance for your membership. If you elect such a membership package, your membership will be automatically renewed for the same membership package at the end of your membership period. For additional information, see "Membership Autorenewals" above. These membershippackages are nonrefundable once purchased.

ChartOne, its affiliates, licensors and service providers, and its respective employees, contractors, officers, directors and agents shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages, including but not limited to personal injury, pain and suffering, emotional distress, or loss of revenue, profits, goodwill or data, whether caused by tort (including negligence), breach of contract or otherwise, even if ChartOne knew or should have known of the possibility of such damages, arising out of or in connection with (i) your use, or inability to use, the Services or any associated content or Content, (ii) any interaction with any third party through or in connection with the Services, including experts and other users, (iii) any information offered or provided within or through the Services, or (iii) any other matter relating to the Services. In no event shall ChartOne, its affiliates, licensors or service providers, or its respective employees, contractors, officers, directors and agents be liable to you in the aggregate (for all potential claims by you) for any damages incurred in excess of one hundred dollars ($100). Because some states or jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or the limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, in such states or jurisdictions, ChartOne's liability shall be limited to the extent permitted by law.
Indemnification
You are solely legally liable if your use or misuse of the Services or any associated content causes damage to the Services, to you, or to someone or something else. You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless ChartOne, its affiliates, licensors and service providers, and its respective employees, contractors, officers, directors and agents from and against all liabilities, claims, damages, judgment, awards, losses, costs, expenses, fines or fees (including attorney's fees and investigation costs), that arise from or relate to your use or misuse of the Services, violation of these Terms of Service or violation of a third party's rights. ChartOne reserves the right, at ChartOne's own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which event you agree to cooperate with ChartOne in asserting any available defenses.
Limitation on Time to File Claims
Any cause of action or claim you may have arising out of or relating to these Terms of Service or the Services must be commenced within one (1) year after the cause of action accrues, otherwise, such cause of action is permanently barred.
Choice of Law and Jurisdiction
You agree that the laws of the State of New York and U.S. federal law govern these Terms of Service, your use of the Services, and any claim or dispute that you may have against ChartOne, without regard to New York's conflict of laws rules. You consent to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the federal and state courts of New York, New York. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to this Agreement.
Binding Arbitration
In the rare event you have a dispute with ChartOne, we encourage you to contact us immediately so we can work together toward a satisfactory resolution. If we cannot come to a resolution, you agree that any claims, disputes, demands, counts, controversies, or causes of action between you and ChartOne arising out of or relating to these Terms of Service, the Services, including the enforceability of these Terms of Service or our Privacy Policy or information practices will be finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis only (except as stated below). The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding.
You understand that you are waiving your right to have your claims heard in court by a judge or jury. An arbitration award is as enforceable as a court order and is subject to only limited review by a judge. You also understand and agree that this arbitration provision prevents you from participating as a plaintiff or as a class member in any purported class action or representative proceeding.
Arbitration will be subject to the Federal Arbitration Act, and shall be commenced and conducted by the American Arbitration Association (" AAA") under the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes, as amended by this provision, by one arbitrator that is acceptable to both parties. You can find out more AAA and how to file an arbitration claim at www.adr.org or by calling 800-778-7879.
Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation shall be governed by the AAA rules and, where appropriate, limited by the AAA Consumer Rules. In the event you are able to demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, ChartOne will pay as much of your filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees in connection with the arbitration as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent arbitration from being cost-prohibitive. In such case, we will make arrangements to pay all necessary fees directly to the AAA. If the arbitrator determines the claim(s) you assert in the arbitration are frivolous, you agree to reimburse ChartOne for all fees associated with the arbitration paid by ChartOne on your behalf, which you otherwise would be obligated to pay under the AAA's rules.
The arbitration will be conducted through written submission, unless the arbitrator determines that a telephonic hearing is required. Except as otherwise provided in these Terms of Service, you and ChartOne may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator. In the event this arbitration provision is held unenforceable by a court, or in the event AAA refuses to arbitrate the dispute, all controversies, disputes, demands, counts, claims, or causes of action between you and ChartOne shall be exclusively brought in the state or federal courts of New York, New York.
Despite this provision, you may file a claim in a small claims court that has jurisdiction to hear the matter.
Severability and Integration
These Terms of Service and any supplemental terms, policies, rules and guidelines posted on the Services constitute the entire agreement between you and ChartOne. If any part of the Terms of Service is held invalid or unenforceable, that portion shall be construed in a manner consistent with applicable law to reflect, as nearly as possible, the original intentions of the parties, and the remaining portions shall remain in full force and effect.
General Provisions
You may not assign these Terms of Service without ChartOne's prior written approval. ChartOne may assign these Terms without your consent to: (i) a subsidiary or affiliate; (ii) an acquirer of ChartOne's business or assets; or (iii) a successor by merger. Any purported assignment in violation of this section shall be void. No joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship exists between you and ChartOne as a result of these Terms of Service or your use of the Services. Our failure to enforce any right or provision in these Terms of Service shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision unless acknowledged and agreed to by ChartOne in writing.
