I am making a one-month commitment from today’s date (“Commitment Period”) to the Company. I am obligated to pay a monthly or yearly Membership Fee to the Company during this Commitment Period. I agree to keep a valid credit card on file with the Company to honor my obligations. I understand that my credit card will be charged monthly, on or about the same date each month, based on the subscription program in which I am enrolled at that time. I also understand my credit card may be charged for any additional program(s) in which I enroll and for any additional products or services I choose to purchase.

​

  • I may cancel my subscription at any time, and I will continue to have access to the content through the billing cycle.

  • For any declined payment which I do not cure within seven (7) days of notice to me, I will lose access to my membership and all templatepad.shop content.

  • If I default on my obligations, I agree that the full amount remaining due under this contract shall become due and payable and may be charged to my credit card.

  • Prices on all products and services are subject to change at the Company’s sole discretion at any time outside and unrelated to my Commitment Period.
