The Programs may be available in limited quantities and specifications. The Programs are available as long as they are displayed on the Website. We use reasonable efforts to display colours, images, and other specifications of the Programs accurately. However, we do not guarantee that (i) the screen of your computing device will display the colours and images of the Programs accurately or (ii) the quality of the Programs will meet your expectations.

• Limit the quantities of the Programs for sale;
• Change the availability or descriptions of the Programs at any time with or without prior notice; and

Age limitation. The Programs are not designed, manufactured, or suitable for children under the age of 4. The Programs may contain small parts that may cause choking hazards. Please supervise the use of the Programs by children at all times.

Fees and payments

The Fees. 
The purchase of the Programs is subject to the applicable fees (the “Fees”) payable by you on the date of signup. The subscription commences after you order the Programs on the Website and complete the payment. By concluding a sale contract with us (i.e., placing an order for the Programs), you agree to pay the Fees in accordance with these Terms, the terms and conditions of the respective Fees, and other terms and conditions in force at the moment the sale contract is concluded. The Fees are indicated in the US dollars (USD) and remain valid for as long as (i) they are indicated on the Website or (ii) as communicated by us. The Fees are subject to a change with at least 30 calendar days prior notice to you (if you hold a subscription) or without notice (if you do not hold a subscription).  

Taxes. 
Unless indicated otherwise, the Fees include all applicable sale taxes, levies, and duties imposed by taxing authorities. You are responsible for paying the said taxes. 


Payment methods. 
The Fees are payable on the Website, by using one of the available payment methods. You will be requested to confirm your permission to charge your payment method. By placing your order, you authorise, agree and assent to us automatically billing your payment method for any fees due.

Cancellation of subscription. 
The subscription must be cancelled at least 14 calendar days prior to expiration of then-current billing period to avoid automatic renewal and charge. We will send an email with a link allowing you to easily cancel the subscription before each recurring transaction. The return of the Programs does not substitute your request for the cancellation of your subscription.

All payments related to the Products are processed by third-party payment processors (the “Payment Processors”). The Payment Processors collect some personal data from you (e.g, credit card number, expiration date, billing address, and security codes) via the Website or other means. The Payment Processors handle all steps in the payment process through their systems, including data collection and data processing. All steps in the payment process are handled by the Payment Processors. You are responsible for ensuring that all payment information is correct and the funds necessary for paying the Fees are available.
