We will charge tax only in states where digital goods are taxable. Prices for products or services offered via the Services may change at any time.
Billing & Auto-Renewal
All subscriptions automatically renew at the end of their billing cycle (monthly or annual) unless canceled prior to renewal. You authorize us to charge your payment method on a recurring basis, without requiring further authorization, until you cancel.
We reserve the right to modify subscription fees at any time. When possible, we will provide advance notice via email or through the Services. Any fee changes will take effect on your next billing cycle or as otherwise communicated.

Refunds
Payments for subscriptions and purchases are non-refundable. Following cancellation, you will continue to have access through the end of your current billing period.

The decision to provide such consideration does not entitle you to future credits or refunds for similar circumstances.
Lifetime Plan Terms
Purchases of lifetime subscription plans include two (2) years of access to copyrighted songs as part of your membership.
