10. Purchases of iBoard® Products.
- Payment for iBoard® Products. You agree to pay for all iBoard® Products you purchase through the Services, and that iBoard®, on behalf of itself or its third party payment providers (as applicable), is authorized to bill your chosen payment method for any iBoard® Products purchased, and for any additional amounts (including any taxes and late fees, as applicable) as may be accrued by or in connection with your Store Account. You are only invoiced for the actual amount of your purchase, plus any applicable taxes. You are responsible for the timely payment of all fees and for providing iBoard® with a valid payment method for payment of all fees. All payment options will be processed via PayPal (see paragraph c in this section for additional details).
- Electronic Contracts. Your use of the Services includes the ability to enter into agreements and/or to make purchases electronically. You acknowledge that your electronic submissions constitute your agreement and intent to be bound by such agreements and to pay for such purchases. Your agreement and intent to be bound by electronic submissions applies to all transactions you enter into in the course of using the Services, including notices of cancellation, policies, contracts, and applications.
- Payment Methods. We currently use Paypal to securely facilitate and process all payments for iBoard® Products. In respect of Paypal, you authorize us, or our third party payment providers, to charge your PayPal account or such other permissible payment method you have selected on the date that you click on the "pay now" button during the purchase process facilitated by Paypal. For the avoidance of doubt, any matters regarding your Paypal account are subject to the user terms and privacy policy and other terms of Paypal. Your credit or debit card will be billed within 24 hours of the iBoard® Product being "shipped". For purposes of the Services, an order will be deemed "shipped" when the link for the iBoard® Product download is presented to you or otherwise electronic download of the iBoard® Product has begun. We may bill your chosen payment method after each individual iBoard® Product is shipped, or may aggregate multiple purchases you make through the Services into a single charge to your account. Debit cards and credit cards have daily spending limits that may prevent the processing of your order. If a purchase has been declined online due to credit or debit card issues, please review the data you have entered to ensure it is correct and resubmit. If the transaction is not accepted online, you will be unable to use that card for your purchase and should use another credit or debit card.
- Sales Tax. Purchases of iBoard® Products via the Services will include any applicable sales tax based on the bill-to address and the sales tax rate in effect at the time of purchase. If the sales tax rate for the billing address changes before the iBoard® Product is purchased, the new tax rate in effect at the time of purchase will apply. We will only charge tax in states and localities where music downloads are taxable. No customers are eligible for tax exemptions for purchases made on the Services.
- Prices. We reserve the right to change prices for iBoard® Products offered via the Services at any time.
- Customer Service. For assistance with billing questions or other order inquiries, please refer to our online support page by choosing the "Help Menu" on the Site and accessing the "Contact Us" Form. If you cannot find the answers you are seeking, you can contact us via email at support@valbum.com.
11. Policies and Other Restrictions For iBoard® Purchases.
- All Sales are final and all charges from those sales are nonrefundable, except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement. Except as otherwise set forth in Section 8(a) above, we are a reseller to you. We do not accept orders from music dealers, exporters, wholesalers, any businesses of any kind or other customers who intend to resell.
- We and/or our licensors may, from time to time, remove iBoard® Products, or portions thereof, from the Services without notice.
- Unless we or our licensors shall permit otherwise, purchases from the Services are available only in the United States and are not available in any other location. You agree not to use or attempt to use the Services from outside of the United States. We may use technologies to verify your compliance. You agree to abide by United States and other applicable export control laws and not to transfer, by electronic transmission or otherwise, any content or software subject to restrictions under such laws to a national destination or person prohibited under such laws.
- You must use the iBoard® Product(s) in accordance with the Usage Rules set forth in Section 8 above.
- We or our licensors may provide links to certain third-party web sites in connection with certain content offered for purchase and displayed on the Services. For example, certain merchandise items contained in V-Albums are only available for purchase from a third party website whereby the user must click-through to such third party website. In that connection, the policies and restrictions of such third parties regarding purchases and use of such items shall apply. We encourage you to read those policies. We and our licensors assume no risk, liability or responsibility whatsoever for the products, policies or services of any such third parties.
- You acknowledge and agree that certain iBoard® Products may not contain content that is otherwise contained in other iBoard® Products of the same or similar nature. For example, certain items available in V-Albums such as, but not limited to, merchandise, lyrics, live concert tickets and live broadcasts, may not be available on some V-Albums, but may be available on other V-Albums. You further acknowledge and agree that at any time, content may be added or removed from an iBoard® Product that is available for purchase via the Service. For example, a V-Album that is purchased by you may not contain all or some lyrics within that V-Album, but the same V-Album may be updated later and made available for sale containing all of the lyrics within that same V-Album. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood that neither we nor our licensors are in any way obligated to provide any updates whatsoever to any iBoard® Products following the purchase of any iBoard® Products and assume no risk, liability or responsibility whatsoever by the fact that there may exist variances between or among iBoard® Products of same or similar nature, whether prior to, or after, purchase.
12. Delivery of Product.
We make every effort to provide a broad music offering. For this reason, we must reserve the right to change music options without notice. On occasion, technical and other problems may delay or prevent delivery of a particular iBoard® Product. Your exclusive and sole remedy with respect to such iBoard® Product that is not delivered within a reasonable period will be either replacement of such iBoard® Product, or refund of the purchase price paid for such iBoard® Product, as determined by us or our licensors (as applicable) in our or their sole discretion.
