We strongly recommend that you regularly review the actual AB.GL Privacy Policy, which describes in detail the procedure and conditions for the collection and use of Users' personal data.

5. PAYMENT FOR USE OF SERVICES

5.1. Charged Services

At the decision of AB.GL, all or some of the services may be chargeable (in whole or in part). The terms and fees for paid services are set out in the relevant sections of our website. In addition, the same Services can be both paid and free, and by paying for the use of such a Service, the User receives extended features in relation to the use of this service. Users independently decide whether to pay for the Service or use a fee-based (with less functionality) version of this Service. If you choose to use the Paid Services, you will be required to pay the applicable Fee. 

AB.GL reserves the right to change the fee at its sole decision. Changes in the Fee for Paid Services will be displayed in the appropriate section. 

All fees are payable in U.S. Dollars, unless otherwise required by law or by the terms of the banks through which payment is made. Moreover, if the User makes payment from the country where the national currency (or the currency of the User's bank account) is not US dollars, the payment can be made in national currency (or the currency of the User's bank account) in accordance with the official currency exchange rate of the country where the User's account is opened.  The payment shall not include taxes (including any payment processing fees and currency conversion fees), duties and fees charged by tax authorities ("Taxes"). We recommend that you check for yourself whether there are any additional fees and charges that may be charged in connection with the purchase of AB.GL Paid Services. We are not responsible or liable for such additional fees and costs, and we make no claim to them.

By registering for our service and providing information necessary to obtain Paid Services, you also authorize AB.GL (directly or through third parties) to request and collect payment from your specified bank and/or card account; and to request information that AB.GL deems necessary to verify the financial information you provide in order to ensure timely payment (for example, up-to-date information about your card expiration date or card number).

5.2. Renewing a subscription to a Paid Service

In order to ensure continued use of Paid Services, there may be an option to automatically renew the use of a Paid Service by default. If you choose this option (if any), upon expiration of the paid Service, such Service will be renewed by automatic debit of the amount equal to the current value of the Service from the card/bank account or by any other method by which the previous payment was made. This option is not a mandatory condition for the use of paid Services, you can enable or disable it at any time at your own discretion.   

In case of impossibility to charge off the payment amount automatically due to any reasons (technical, operational or due to the lack of money resources) you will receive a corresponding notification with one of the available communication channels, provided by you during registration of your account. In this case the Service will not be prolonged (activated), but you will still be able to use the fee-based version of the Service (with limited functionality).  

You are solely responsible for choosing whether to use the paid Services or the free-based ones, and you choose the periods of time for using  the paid Services. Your refusal to automatically renew a subscription to a paid Service does not violate these Terms and assumes no liability on your part for non-payment. In such a case, you will have the option to use a free version of the Service (with limited functionality). At the same time, you acknowledge and agree that you will have no claim against AB.GL for termination of the paid Service, regardless of the basis for termination.

6. DELETING AN ACCOUNT

6.1. Account deletion on the user side

We will check your request as soon as possible and will inform you about the removal of your Account or about refusing to delete your Account, and will inform you about the reasons of possible refusal.  

Please note that since the process of account cancellation may take some time, in order to avoid another automatic renewal of the paid Service and automatic charging of the corresponding payment, disable in advance the option of automatic renewal of the subscription (if any). Otherwise, an amount equal to the cost of the paid Service will be charged. 

6.2. Account deletion by AB.GL
