Subscriptions
The Sembark Service is billed in advance in accordance with our pricing schedule. You will be billed in advance on a recurring and periodic basis ("Billing Cycle"). Billing cycles are set either on a monthly or annual basis, depending on the type of subscription plan you choose when purchasing a Subscription.
At the end of each Billing Cycle, your Subscription will automatically renew under the exact same conditions unless you cancel it, or the Company cancels it. You may cancel your Subscription by contacting Sembark customer support [support@sembark.com](mailto:support@sembark.com).
All fees are exclusive of all taxes, levies, or duties imposed by taxing authorities, and you will be responsible for payment of all such taxes, levies, or duties. You agree to pay for any taxes that might be applicable to your use of the Sembark Service or payments made by you in connection with your use of the Sembark Service.
Modifications to the Sembark Site and Prices
We reserve the right at any time and from time to time to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Sembark Service (or any part thereof) with or without notice. However, we will make our very best efforts to notify customers of any upcoming system maintenance and/or service disruptions.
Prices of all Sembark Service plans are subject to change. If Sembark does for any reason have to remove the plan you are on or require an upgrade to a current plan, we will provide you with at least six (6) months' notice via email.
We will not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, price change, suspension or discontinuance of the Sembark Service.
We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to change, modify, add to, supplement or delete any portion of these Terms of Service at any time, effective with or without prior notice; provided, however, that we will use reasonable efforts to provide you with notification of any material changes (as determined in our sole discretion) by email.

You shall provide the Company with accurate and complete billing information including full name, company name, address, state, zip code, and a valid payment method information. By submitting such payment information, you automatically authorize the Company to charge all Subscription fees incurred through your account to any such payment instruments.
No Refund Policy
All sales are final. We do not offer refunds for any products or services purchased. Most of our services offer a free-trail-demo accounts with free demo one-to-one meetings which should be enough to evaluate the project.
We understand that you may not be happy with your purchase for a variety of reasons. However, we believe that it is important to have a clear and consistent policy in place. This policy helps us to protect our business and to ensure that all of our customers are treated fairly.
