 ## 5\. Fees, Payment, and Renewal
 ### a. Automattic Fees
+**Fees for Paid Services.** Some of our Services are offered for a fee, like certain [WordPress.com plans](https://wordpress.com/pricing/) or [WooCommerce themes or extensions](https://woocommerce.com/) (collectively, "Paid Services"). This section applies to any purchases of Paid Services.
+**Fees for Paid Services.** Some of our Services are offered for a fee, like certain [WordPress.com plans](https://wordpress.com/pricing/) or Woo themes or extensions (collectively, "Paid Services"). This section applies to any purchases of Paid Services.
 By using a Paid Service, you agree to pay the specified fees. Depending on the Paid Service, there may be different kinds of fees, like some that are one-time, recurring, revenue-based, or based on an advertising campaign budget that you set. For recurring fees (AKA subscriptions), your subscription begins on your purchase date, and we'll bill or charge you in the automatically-renewing interval (such as monthly, annually, or biennially) you select, on a pre-pay basis until you cancel, which you can do at any time by contacting the relevant support team. For revenue-based fees - such as [fees for the Payments feature](https://wordpress.com/support/wordpress-editor/blocks/payments/) - you pay us a percentage of the revenue your website generates. Revenue-based fees are ongoing.
 **Taxes.** To the extent permitted by law, or unless explicitly stated otherwise, all fees do not include applicable federal, provincial, state, local or other governmental sales, value-added, goods and services, harmonized or other taxes, fees, or charges ("Taxes"). You're responsible for paying all applicable Taxes relating to your use of our Services, your payments, or your purchases. If we're obligated to pay or collect Taxes on the fees you've paid or will pay, you're responsible for those Taxes, and we may collect payment from you.
 **Payment.** You must provide accurate and up-to-date payment information. By providing your payment information, you authorize us to store it until you request deletion. If your payment fails, we suspect fraud, or Paid Services are otherwise not paid for or paid for on time (for example, if you contact your bank or credit card company to decline or reverse the charge of fees for Paid Services), we may immediately cancel or revoke your access to Paid Services without notice to you. You authorize us to charge any updated payment information provided by your bank or payment service provider (e.g., new expiration date) or other payment methods provided if we can't charge your primary payment method.
 **Automatic Renewal.** By enrolling in a subscription, you authorize us to automatically charge the then-applicable fees and Taxes for each subsequent subscription period until the subscription is canceled. If you received a discount, used a coupon code, or subscribed during a free trial or promotion, your subscription will automatically renew for the full price of the subscription at the end of the discount period. This means that unless you cancel a subscription, it'll automatically renew and we'll charge your payment method(s). You must cancel at least one month before the scheduled end date of any annual subscription and at least 24 hours before the end of any shorter subscription period. The date for the automatic renewal is based on the date of the original purchase and cannot be changed. If you've purchased access to multiple services, you may have multiple renewal dates.
+You can view your renewal date(s), cancel, or manage subscriptions in your settings (for example, [WordPress.com's Manage Purchases page](https://wordpress.com/me/purchases) or [WooCommerce's My Subscriptions page](http://woocommerce.com/my-account/my-subscriptions/)) or by contacting the support team.
+You can view your renewal date(s), cancel, or manage subscriptions in your settings (for example, [WordPress.com's Manage Purchases page](https://wordpress.com/me/purchases) or [Woo's My Subscriptions page](http://woocommerce.com/my-account/my-subscriptions/)) or by contacting the support team.
 **Fees and Changes.** We may change our fees at any time in accordance with these Terms and requirements under applicable law. This means that we may change our fees going forward, start charging fees for Services that were previously free, or remove or update features or functionality that were previously included in the fees. If you don't agree with the changes, you must cancel your Paid Service.
 **Refunds.** We may have a refund policy for some of our Paid Services, and we'll also provide refunds if required by law. In all other cases, there are no refunds and all payments are final.
+We also have a "no-show policy" for some Paid Services that require your participation (for example, our [Quick Start sessions](https://wordpress.com/support/quickstart-support)). This means that if you don't show up for, don't participate in, or are late for a scheduled session, you'll still be charged for the Paid Service and won't be entitled to a refund.

 European Users: You have the right to withdraw from the transaction within fourteen (14) days from the date of the purchase without giving any reason as long as your purchase was not of a customized nature, the service has not been fully performed, or subject to other limitations as permitted by law. For digital content, you agree that any purchase of digital content will be made available to you immediately and as a result you waive any right of withdrawal to such content.
 If you cancel this contract, we will reimburse you all payments we have received from you, including delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs resulting from the fact that you have chosen a type of delivery other than the most favorable standard delivery offered by us), without undue delay and no later than within fourteen days from the day on which we received the notification of your cancellation of this contract. For this repayment, we will use the same means of payment that you used for the original transaction, unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged for this repayment. If you have requested that we begin our services during the withdrawal period, you will pay us a reasonable amount corresponding to the services already provided up to the time you notify us of the exercise of the withdrawal right compared to the total scope of the services provided for in the contract. If you cancel your contract with us, you will refrain from using the digital content or digital services or making them available to third parties.
 You may exercise your right to withdrawal by sending a clear, written request to: Aut O'Mattic A8C Ireland Ltd., Grand Canal Dock, 25 Herbert Pl, Dublin, D02 AY86 Ireland or by using [this model form](https://wordpress.com/support/right-to-withdrawal/).
 ### b. Fees Collected by Website Owners
 **Fees Paid to Websites or Website Owners.** Website owners can sell items (goods, content, services, etc.), offer subscriptions for their websites at specific price points and intervals, or simply collect payments. We're not involved in a website's subscription details or store operations (including the quality, timing, pricing, or legality of what may or may not be included in exchange for payment, or any goods or services purchased). If you buy items or subscriptions from a website, you're making the purchase directly from the website owner, and they're solely responsible for the items sold. Please contact the website owner if you have any questions or complaints.
+**Automatic Renewal.** Any recurring payments you make to a website owner (like a [website subscription](https://wordpress.com/support/recurring-payments/)) are automatically renewed. This means that unless you or the website owner cancels your website subscription before the end of the subscription period, it'll automatically renew and your payment method will be charged. For example, if you select an annually renewing website subscription, you'll be automatically charged once each year until the subscription is canceled. You can view the renewal dates or cancel your website subscriptions on your [Other Site Payments page](https://wordpress.com/me/purchases/other).
+**Automatic Renewal.** Any recurring payments you make to a WordPress.com website owner (like a [website subscription](https://wordpress.com/support/recurring-payments/)) are automatically renewed. This means that unless you or the website owner cancels your website subscription before the end of the subscription period, it'll automatically renew and your payment method will be charged. For example, if you select an annually renewing website subscription, you'll be automatically charged once each year until the subscription is canceled. You can view the renewal dates or cancel your website subscriptions on your [Purchases page](https://wordpress.com/me/purchases/other).
 **Refunds.** We're not responsible for refunding fees paid to a website owner because those transactions are between website owners and their users. If you'd like to request a refund, please contact the website owner. If you have a complaint regarding a website owner, you can [contact us](https://en.wordpress.com/abuse/).

This license also allows us to make any publicly-posted Content available to select third parties (through [Firehose](https://developer.wordpress.com/docs/firehose/), for example) so that these third parties can analyze and distribute (but not publicly display) the Content through their services. You also give other WordPress.com users permission to share your Content on other WordPress.com websites and add their own Content to it (aka to "reblog" your Content), so long as they use only a portion of your post and they give you credit as the original author by linking back to your website, which the [reblogging](https://en.support.wordpress.com/reblogs/) function on WordPress.com does automatically.
 **Removing Content.** If you delete Content, we'll use reasonable efforts to remove it from public view (or in the case of a private website, from view by the authorized visitors) on WordPress.com, but you acknowledge that cached versions of the Content or references to the Content may not be immediately unavailable.
 **Web Traffic.** We may use a third-party service to measure WordPress.com's audience and usage. By having your website on WordPress.com, you agree to assign the traffic for your website to Automattic, and you authorize us to sign a Traffic Assignment Letter on your behalf. This means that your website's traffic may be included under Automattic, your website may not receive credit for traffic in the respective reports, and you must not assign your website's traffic to any other party. If we require additional documentation to verify ownership of your website or domain name, you agree to make reasonable efforts to provide it.
+**Prohibited Uses.** Your Content and conduct must not violate the [WordPress.com User Guidelines](https://en.support.wordpress.com/user-guidelines/) or the [VideoPress Service Guidelines](https://videopress.com/service-guidelines) if you use our Services to upload videos.

 **HTTPS.** We offer free HTTPS on all WordPress.com websites by default, including those using custom domains, via [Let's Encrypt](https://letsencrypt.org/). By signing up and using a custom domain on WordPress.com, you authorize us to represent that you have the power and authority to act on the domain name registrant's behalf (by requesting the necessary certificates, for example) for the sole purpose of providing HTTPS on your website.
 **Advertisements.** We may display advertisements on your website and domain unless you have purchased a plan that includes the removal of ads.
 **Attribution.** We may display attribution text or links in your website footer or toolbar, noting that your website is powered by WordPress.com or attributing the creator of your theme, for example. For more details about these attributions, and under which circumstances (if any) you may alter or remove them, please see our [Footer Credit Options support page](https://wordpress.com/support/footer-credits/).
 When you register a domain, you're required to provide complete and accurate registration information, and you must keep this information current. In most cases, the contact information you provide as part of the registration process will be used as your administrative contact, technical contact, and billing contact for the domain. You can [update your domain contact information](https://wordpress.com/support/update-contact-information/) at any time. If the domain contact information differs from your WordPress.com account information, we consider the administrative contact in your [domain contact information](https://wordpress.com/support/update-contact-information/) to be the owner of the domain, with full authority to manage it.
 **Built By WordPress.com Express.** By purchasing Built By WordPress.com Express - where our experts set up your website for you - you have read and understand [these details about the service](https://wordpress.com/support/website-design-service/), including our [content guidelines](https://wordpress.com/support/website-design-service/) and the fact that the website (including any design, layout, or web development) we produce is provided "as-is." Although we're setting up a website for you, you remain solely responsible for the content on your site and any materials, information, or other data on your site. We do not provide approval or validation of your website or its content by providing our services.
 If we provide you with a refund for your purchase of Built By WordPress.com Express, you may not use the website or its layout, web design, content, or other development we have provided to you, and we reserve the right to delete or revert the website to its previous state.

 - may only use Ecommerce Services for legitimate transactions with your customers.
 - must comply with all applicable laws (such as those relating to automatic renewal or providing consumer disclosures) and agree not to engage in unfair, deceptive, or abusive acts or practices.
 - must promptly notify us via [email](mailto:legal@wordpress.com) if you receive any inquiry or action from a government or regulatory agency (such as the Federal Trade Commission or a state Attorney General) that's related to your use of Ecommerce Services.
 **Prohibited Uses.** You may not use Ecommerce Services for any unlawful purposes; in furtherance of illegal activities; or in a manner that is unfair, deceptive, exposes us or customers to unreasonable risks, or does not disclose important terms of a transaction in advance. Among other things, this means that:
 - Ecommerce Services cannot be used in, from, by, or for the benefit of a country, organization, entity, or person embargoed or blocked by any government, including those on [sanctions lists identified by the United States Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC)](https://www.treasury.gov/resource-center/sanctions).
 - If you're using Ecommerce Services, you must observe all [Store Guidelines](https://en.support.wordpress.com/store-guidelines/) and, if hosted on WordPress.com, the [User Guidelines](https://en.support.wordpress.com/user-guidelines/) as well.

 We may terminate your access to our Services or force refunds (where possible) to your subscribers and customers without notice to you if we determine (in our sole discretion) that your use violates the Agreement, or if a payment processor or regulatory authority requires it.
+**Fees and Negative Balances.** In some cases, you pay us fees relating to the Ecommerce Services you use. For example, the fee for the Payments feature is a [percentage](https://wordpress.com/support/wordpress-editor/blocks/payments/) (which depends on your plan) of the revenue your website generates through the Payment feature, and when you use the feature, you authorize Stripe to direct payment of that percentage to us. As another example, if you use WooCommerce Payments, there are [transaction fees and dispute fees](https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/payments/faq/fees/). Please note that we have no obligation to reimburse or refund these revenue-based fees when you issue refunds to your subscribers or customers.

+**Tax Calculations.** While some Ecommerce Services allow you to include sales taxes in transactions - for example, tax calculations may be provided by TaxJar - you shouldn't rely solely on these features. We work to keep our documents and tools up-to-date, but tax laws change rapidly; and we can't guarantee that tax calculations you receive through or in connection with our Services are complete and accurate. Tax laws also differ from jurisdiction to jurisdiction and may be interpreted differently by different authorities. We recommend consulting with a tax professional for your specific tax situation to assess the tax rates you should charge.

 If you receive a POS terminal, you agree to: (a) use it for your own lawful commercial purposes only, and not for any personal, family, or household use; (b) the [Stripe Terminal Services Terms](https://stripe.com/terminal/legal) and [Stripe Terminal Purchase Terms](https://stripe.com/terminal-purchase/legal) as applicable; (c) comply with all applicable international and national laws and regulations, including applicable customs or export control laws or regulations; (d) use it only within the country that we shipped it to, except that you may use a terminal that was shipped to the European Economic Area in another country in the European Economic Area, if that country is [supported](https://stripe.com/docs/terminal/readers/placing-orders); and (e) if you obtain equipment, software, or accessories branded by Verifone and shipped to you to an address in the United Kingdom or European Economic Area, you agree to comply with the [Verifone Minimum Terms](https://stripe.com/us/verifone/legal), as applicable.
 You'll be responsible for all shipping and handling charges for the POS terminal specified during the ordering process. We may restrict availability based on your region or limit the quantity of POS terminals that you may order. We may reject any order at any time, in which case, we'll refund what you paid. Risk of loss for the POS terminal passes to you when the shipping carrier receives the terminal from our drop shipper for delivery, and title will transfer to you upon delivery. Shipping and delivery dates are estimates only and cannot be guaranteed. We are not liable for any delays in shipments.
 Unless a refund is required by law, there are no refunds for POS terminals and all transactions are final.

 If you use services provided by the US Postal Service ("USPS"):
 In some cases, you may need to pay fees to the carrier directly, like if you use UPS shipping labels. In other cases, you authorize us to charge you for the fees associated with each shipping label you create. Each fee will be charged separately to the payment methods you provide in your WordPress.com account, which you can view and manage as described on the [Payments Methods support page](https://en.support.wordpress.com/payment/). If you have multiple payment methods, you can select which should be used for the shipping label service. If we're unable to collect payment from you for these fees, you'll be responsible for payment within 7 days; please contact us to make payment.
 Refunds for unused shipping labels must be requested ([like so for USPS](https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/woocommerce-shipping-and-tax/woocommerce-shipping/)) in your store's wp-admin within 30 days of creating the label. Depending on your bank and the third party involved, it can take up to 45 days for your refund to be issued. If you don't receive your refund within this time frame, please contact us.
 You may not transfer or sell postage and/or shipping labels to a third party.
