You can access the Service via a web browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, IE or Edge) at this domain. The Service is SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) enabled and enforced. To access the Service, you must register for an account (“Account”) and provide certain information about yourself as prompted by the account registration form. You may also upload additional content and information when you create your user profile. When creating your account and profile, you agree to provide accurate and complete information, and you represent and warrant that the content and information you provide will not violate any rights of third parties.

If you believe that your account is no longer secure, then you must immediately notify us by email.
General Payment Terms
Premium features of the Service will require you to pay fees upon registering for the applicable premium service. Before you pay any fees, you will have an opportunity to review and accept the fees that you will be charged. All fees are in U.S. Dollars and are non-refundable. Fees vary based on the plan, with different pricing schemes for individual users and organizations.
Price
AdVantage Media Africa reserves the right to determine pricing for the Service. AdVantage Media Africa will make reasonable efforts to keep pricing information published on the website up to date. We encourage you to check our website periodically for current pricing information.
AdVantage Media Africa may change the fees for any feature of the Service, including additional fees or charges, if we give you advance notice of changes before they apply. We may make promotional offers with different features and different pricing to any of our customers. These promotional offers, unless made to you, will not apply to your offer or these Terms.
Payment Authorization
You authorize AdVantage Media Africa to charge all sums for the orders that you make and any level of Service you select as described in these Terms or published by us, to the payment method specified in your account. If you pay any fees with a credit card, we may seek pre-authorization of your credit card account prior to your purchase to verify that the credit card is valid and has the necessary funds or credit available to cover your purchase.
Subscription Service and Cancellation Policy
The Service may include automatically recurring payments for periodic charges (“Subscription Service”). If you activate a Subscription Service, you authorize AdVantage Media Africa to periodically charge, on a going-forward basis and until cancellation of either the recurring payments or your account, all accrued sums on or before the payment due date for the accrued sums. The “Subscription Billing Date” is the date when you purchase your first subscription to the Service. For information on the “Subscription Fee”, please see our Pricing page. Your account will be charged automatically on the Subscription Billing Date all applicable fees for the next subscription period. The subscription will continue unless and until you cancel your subscription or we terminate it. You must cancel your subscription before it renews in order to avoid billing of the next periodic Subscription Fee to your account. We will bill the periodic Subscription Fee to the payment method you provide to us during registration (or to a different payment method if you change your payment information). You may cancel the Subscription Service by accessing your Account Settings or by contacting us by email.
Delinquent Accounts
AdVantage Media Africa may suspend or terminate access to the Service for any account for which any amount is due but unpaid. In addition to the amount due for the Service, a delinquent account will be charged with fees or charges that are incidental to any chargeback or collection of any unpaid amount, including collection fees.

Service Availability and Commitment
Although we strive to provide the most reliable software tools possible, interruptions and delays in accessing the Service are unavoidable. Because computer networks occasionally experience disruptions, we cannot guarantee that the Service will be available to you 100% of the time. We monitor our systems continually, and an engineer is typically available within an hour of service interruptions to take reasonable steps to resolve any reported issue, and we use reasonable efforts to restore service to our users promptly, often within a 24-hour period.
Regular backups of the database are made and retained at regular intervals. If you experience loss of data, we will attempt to restore data from the most recent working backup; however, we cannot guarantee that any lost user or data can be recovered or restored.
Under no circumstances will AdVantage Media Africa or its suppliers be held liable for any damages due to such interruptions or lack of availability.

The Service contains proprietary and confidential information that is protected by applicable intellectual property and other laws and AdVantage Media Africa and its suppliers retain all right, title, and interest (including all copyright, trade secret, patent, and other rights) in and to the Service and Content which is included in the Service (other than User Content). If you give feedback regarding the Service, for example recommendations for improvements or features, we have the right to use the feedback in any way and implementation of that feedback is owned by us and may become part of the Service without compensation to you. We reserve all rights in and to the Service unless we expressly state otherwise. We also reserve the right to make changes or updates to the Service or Content provided on or through the Service at any time without notice and we will own any such changes or updates (excluding User Content).
