  5. Membership, Free Trials, Billing and Cancellation
    1. Membership
      1. Ongoing Membership. Your Benevolence Tracker membership, which may start with a free trial, will continue year-to-year unless and until you cancel your membership or we terminate it. You may cancel your Benevolence Tracker membership by visiting Your Account and adjusting your membership settings. If you cancel before converting from a free trial to a paid membership, we will refund your full membership fee. You must have Internet access and provide us with a current, valid, accepted method of payment (as such may be updated from time to time, "Payment Method") to use the Benevolence Tracker service. We will bill the membership fee month-to-month to your Payment Method. You must cancel your membership before it renews each year in order to avoid beginning the next year’s membership billing cycle.
    2. Free Trials
      1. Your Benevolence Tracker membership may start with a free trial. The free trial period of your membership lasts for one month, or as otherwise specified during sign-up. Free trials are for new and certain former members only. Benevolence Tracker reserves the right, in its absolute discretion, to determine your free trial eligibility.
      2. We will begin billing your Payment Method for monthly installments of the membership fee at the end of the free trial period of your membership unless you cancel prior to the end of the free trial period. To view the specific details of your membership, including monthly charges and end date of your free trial period, visit our website and click the "Your Account" page. We may authorize your Payment Method through various methods, including authorizing it up to approximately one month of service as soon as you register.
      3. You will not receive a notice from us that your free trial period has ended or that the paying portion of your membership has begun. CLICK THE "YOUR ACCOUNT" LINK AT THE TOP OF ANY Benevolence Tracker WEB PAGE TO FIND CANCELLATION INSTRUCTIONS. We will continue to bill your Payment Method on a monthly basis for your membership fee.
    3. Billing
      1. Recurring Billing. By starting your Benevolence Tracker membership and providing or designating a Payment Method, you authorize us to charge you a monthly membership fee at the then current rate, and any other charges you may incur in connection with your use of the Benevolence Tracker service to your Payment Method. You acknowledge that the amount billed each month may vary from month to month for reasons that may include differing amounts due to promotional offers and/or changing or adding a plan, and you authorize us to charge your Payment Method for such varying amounts, which may be billed monthly in one or more charges.
      2. Price Changes. We reserve the right to adjust pricing for our service or any components thereof in any manner and at any time as we may determine in our sole and absolute discretion. Except as otherwise expressly provided for in these Terms of Use, any price changes to your service will take effect following email notice to you.
      3. Billing Cycle. The membership fee for our service will be billed at the beginning of the paying portion of your membership and each month thereafter until your membership subscription is fulfilled. We automatically bill your Payment Method each month on the calendar day corresponding to the commencement of your paying membership. Membership fees are fully earned upon payment. We reserve the right to change the timing of our billing, in particular, as indicated below, if your Payment Method has not successfully settled. In the event your paying membership began on a day not contained in a given month, we may bill your Payment Method on a day in the applicable month or such other day as we deem appropriate. For example, if you started your Benevolence Tracker membership or became a paying member on January 31st, your next payment date is likely to be February 28th, and your Payment Method would be billed on that date. Your renewal date may change due to changes in your Membership. Visit our website and click on the "View billing details" link on the "Your Account" page to see the commencement date for your next renewal period. We may authorize your Payment Method in anticipation of membership or service-related charges. As used in these Terms of Use, "billing" shall indicate a charge, debit or other payment clearance, as applicable, against your Payment Method. Unless otherwise stated differently, month or monthly refers to your billing cycle.
      4. No Refunds. PAYMENTS ARE NONREFUNDABLE AND THERE ARE NO REFUNDS OR CREDITS FOR PARTIALLY USED PERIODS. Following any cancellation, however, you will continue to have access to the service through the end of your current membership period. At any time, and for any reason, we may provide a refund, discount, or other consideration to some or all of our members ("credits"). The amount and form of such credits, and the decision to provide them, are at our sole and absolute discretion. The provision of credits in one instance does not entitle you to credits in the future for similar instances, nor does it obligate us to provide credits in the future, under any circumstance.
      5. Payment Methods. You may edit your Payment Method information by visiting our website and clicking on the "Your Account" link, available at the top of the pages of the Benevolence Tracker website. If a payment is not successfully settled, due to expiration, insufficient funds, or otherwise, and you do not edit your Payment Method information or cancel your account (see, "Cancellation" below), you remain responsible for any uncollected amounts and authorize us to continue billing the Payment Method, as it may be updated. This may result in a change to your payment billing dates. For certain Payment Methods, the issuer of your Payment Method may charge you a foreign transaction fee or other charges. Check with your Payment Method service provider for details.
      6. Cancellation. You may cancel your Benevolence Tracker membership at any time, and you will continue to have access to the Benevolence Tracker service through the end of your committed membership period.

  13. Arbitration Agreement
    1. If you are a Benevolence Tracker member in the United States (including its possessions and territories), you and Battle Plan, LLC agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating in any way to the Benevolence Tracker service, these Terms of Use and this Arbitration Agreement, shall be determined by binding arbitration or in small claims court. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, allows for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. You agree that, by agreeing to these Terms of Use, the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision, and that you and Benevolence Tracker are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of this Agreement and the termination of your Benevolence Tracker membership.
    2. If you elect to seek arbitration or file a small claim court action, you must first send to Battle Plan, LLC, by certified mail, a written Notice of your claim ("Notice"). If Battle Plan, LLC initiates arbitration, it will send a written Notice to the email address used for your membership account. A Notice, whether sent by you or by Battle Plan, LLC, must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought ("Demand"). If Battle Plan, LLC and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or Benevolence Tracker may commence an arbitration proceeding or file a claim in small claims court.
    3. You may download or copy a form Notice and a form to initiate arbitration at www.adr.org. If you are required to pay a filing fee, after Battle Plan, LLC receives notice at the Notice Address that you have commenced arbitration, Battle Plan, LLC will promptly reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for greater than US $1,000, in which event you will be responsible for filing fees.
    4. The arbitration will be governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, "AAA Rules") of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), as modified by this Agreement, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and Forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by writing to the Notice Address. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of this Agreement. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including issues relating to the scope and enforceability of this arbitration agreement. Unless Benevolence Tracker and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in the county (or parish) of your residence.
    5. If your claim is for US$1,000 or less, we agree that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds US$1,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. If the arbitrator issues you an award that is greater than the value of Battle Plan, LLC’s last written settlement offer made before an arbitrator was selected (or if Battle Plan, LLC did not make a settlement offer before an arbitrator was selected), then Battle Plan, LLC will pay you the amount of the award or US$1,000, whichever is greater. Except as expressly set forth herein, the payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules.
    6. YOU AND BATTLE PLAN, LLC AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and Battle Plan, LLC agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims with your claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's individual claim.
  14. Survival. If any provision or provisions of these Terms of Use shall be held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
