6. Terms Applicable to Your Purchase.
a. General Eligibility. To purchase access and use any of the licenses that Licensor makes available for sale on the Site, you must be at least eighteen (18) years of age or the applicable age of majority in your jurisdiction of residence. Prior to the purchase of any products or services, you must provide Licensor with a valid credit card number and associated payment information including all of the following:

Your name, as it appears on the card;
-
Your credit card number;
-
The credit card type;
-
The credit card’s date of expiration; and

Any activation numbers or codes needed to charge your card or otherwise use a valid gift card.
By submitting the foregoing information to Licensor or Licensor’s third-party credit card processor, you agree that you authorize Licensor and/or Licensor’s processor to charge your card at their convenience but within thirty (30) days of credit card authorization. For any license that you order on the Site, you agree to pay the applicable price (including any sales taxes and surcharges) at the time you submit the order. Licensor will automatically bill your credit card or other form of payment submitted as part of the order process for such price.

c. Methods of Payment, Credit Card Terms and Taxes.
i. All payments must be made via Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, Apple Pay, or PayPal. Licensor currently does not accept cash, personal or business checks or any other payment form, although in the future Licensor may change this policy. Licensee’s card issuer agreement governs your use of your designated card, and you must refer to that agreement and not this Agreement to determine your rights and liabilities as a cardholder.

If Licensor does not receive payment from your credit card issuer or its agent, you agree to pay all amounts due upon demand by Licensor or its agents. Sales taxes, or other taxes, customs, import/export charges, or similar governmental charges are not included in the price of the products. You are responsible for paying any such taxes or charges imposed on your purchases, including, but not limited to, sales, use or value-added taxes. Licensor shall automatically charge and withhold the applicable tax for orders to be delivered to addresses within and any states or localities that it deems is required in accordance with our order policy in effect at the time of purchase.
