You are responsible to provide and maintain valid and updated credit card information or other payment information. If your payment instrument fails, your access to the Services will be terminated. You are responsible for all taxes associated with the Services other than U.S.-taxes based on BJN’s income.
Your subscription will automatically renew and your payment instrument will be automatically charged every month (if you purchased a monthly subscription plan) or each year (if you purchased an annual subscription plan), unless you cancel before the end of the current subscription period. You can cancel by contacting BlueJeans’ Customer Support by calling (408) 791-2830 or submitting a case at [https://support.bluejeans.com/s/contactsupport], and the cancellation will take effect the day after the last day of the current subscription period (i.e., if on a monthly plan, at the end of the monthly period; if on an annual plan, at the end of the 12 month period from your Services start date). Charges are not refunded or prorated if service is terminated or modified before your billing cycle ends.
Service begins as soon as your initial payment is processed. If you have selected a monthly subscription plan, you will be charged the rate stated at the time of purchase, every month, until you or we cancel. If you have selected an annual plan, you will be charged the rate stated at the time of purchase, every year, until you or we cancel. BJN may change the pricing for your plan at the end of a billing cycle (i.e., if on a monthly plan, at the end of the monthly subscription term; if on an annual plan, at the end of the 12 month subscription term), but we will always notify you beforehand. Your payments are non-refundable and your service will continue until the end of that month’s billing period if on a monthly plan and until the end of the 12 month subscription term if you are on an annual plan. If you received any promotional pricing or features, please see the Promotion-specific terms and the Promotions section herein for promotion-specific details.
