Fees: To the extent the Service or any portion thereof is made available for any fee, or you are a Client paying a Vendor or Business for goods or services via the Service, you will be required to provide HoneyBook information regarding your credit card or other payment instrument. You represent and warrant to HoneyBook that such information is true and that you are authorized to use the payment instrument. If you have registered for the Services via a subscription plan, you expressly acknowledge and agree that (a) HoneyBook is authorized to charge your credit card or other payment instrument in accordance with the terms of your subscription plan for as long as your subscription continues, and (b) your subscription is continuous until you cancel it or HoneyBook suspends or otherwise stops providing access to the site and/or Services in accordance with these terms. You will promptly update your account information with any changes (for example, a change in your billing address or credit card expiration date) that may occur. As a Vendor, you may be required to select a payment plan and you agree to pay a pre-selected percentage of money you receive from purchases made by Clients of your goods and services through the Service, and you will pay HoneyBook a percentage of each such transaction, as set forth in further detail on the Service. If you dispute any charges by HoneyBook you must let HoneyBook know within thirty (30) days after the date that HoneyBook charges you. If you dispute any charges by a Vendor, you must contact the Vendor directly. As a Vendor, if you agree to refund any fees to a Client, you are responsible and will pay HoneyBook (and HoneyBook may retain) any transaction costs associated with such refund. We reserve the right to change HoneyBook’s prices. If HoneyBook does change prices, HoneyBook will provide notice of the change on the Site or in email to you, at HoneyBook’s option, at least 30 days before the change is to take effect. If you have registered for the Services via a subscription plan, your subscription plan may be subject to fee adjustments, including automatic fee increases, during your subscription term in accordance with the terms of your subscription plan; and where a fee adjustment applies to you, we will charge or invoice you under the new price structure, starting with the next billing period in the subscription term, or otherwise in accordance with the terms of your subscription plan. Your continued use of the Service after the price change or fee adjustments becomes effective constitutes your agreement to pay the changed amount. You shall be responsible for all taxes associated with the Services other than U.S. taxes based on HoneyBook’s net income.

Chargebacks: To the extent you have received payment for goods or services through the HoneyBook Platform (“Payee”) from or on behalf of a Client, Business or other party (“Payor”), the amount of a transaction may be charged back or reversed to Payee’s payment account (a “Chargeback”) if the transaction (a) is disputed by the Payor, (b) is reversed for any reason, (c) was not authorized or we have any reason to believe that the transaction was not authorized, or (d) is allegedly unlawful, suspicious, or in violation of the terms of these Terms of Service.

To execute such charges, you expressly authorize us to (a) initiate individual or reoccurring debit entries to any bank account we have on file for you (e.g., ACH debits) and (b) charge any credit or debit card account we have on file for you. If any debit entry or charge is rejected, you agree to immediately pay the amount due directly to us and authorize us to initiate other debit entries and charges at any time and from time to time in any amount up to the amount due until the amount due is paid in full.

The Reserve will be in an amount determined by us in our sole discretion to cover actual or potential Losses we may incur and current, past and future obligations you may owe us. The Reserve may be raised, reduced or removed at any time by us, in our sole discretion. If you do not have sufficient funds in your Reserve, we may fund the Reserve from any payment method we have on file for you. You grant us a security interest in and lien on any and all funds held in the Reserve, and also authorize us to make any withdrawals or debits from the Reserve, and charge any payment method we have on file for you, to cover any Losses, obligations and amounts you owe us. You will execute any documents required by us to perfect our security interest in any funds in the Reserve or requested by us in connection with the Reserve.
