You have the right to pay for any of our products or services in full, including all e-learning courses, website templates, website design, or online business resources. If you choose to pay using a payment plan provided by the Company using Kartra and Stripe as a third-party payment option, you agree to pay each payment on time and in the full amount.

If paying by debit card or credit card, you give us permission to automatically charge your credit or debit card for all fees and charges due and payable to the Company, without any additional authorization, for which you will receive an electronic receipt. You also agree that the Company is authorized to share any payment information and instructions required to complete the payment transactions with its third-party payment service providers (e.g., credit card transaction processing, merchant settlement, and related services).

Payment Plans:
If You elect for the payment plan, You hereby authorize the Company to charge your credit card or debit card automatically according to the terms set forth in the installment plan details shown at checkout.

No matter what is stated in these terms, you understand that you are agreeing to the price and payment structure in which you agreed upon during the time of purchase.

Regarding recurring payments and outstanding invoices: If all payment methods we have on file for you are declined for payment of your monthly fee, you must provide a new payment method promptly or your Program access will be terminated. If you have a credit card change or expire, please reach out to MELISSA@LOCALWEBSITECLUB.COM and we will help you update it!
You are required by law to complete the remaining payments of your payment plan and you authorize us (without notice to you, unless required by applicable law) to collect any and all outstanding payments, using any eligible payment method we have on record for your account.
You understand that if you choose to pay for our products and or services using a payment plan, you understand that you are fully liable for all payments agreed upon. If a payment is missed, we will re-try the payment method four times before sending the debt to a collections agency of our choosing. We will always contact you via email before doing so. It is understood by both parties that if a third-party debt collections agency is needed to retrieve payments, an additional 30% will be added to the remaining balance owed if inside of the United States, and 35% will be added if outside of the United States to pay for the Debt Collection Services and all applicable legal fees associated with the debt retrieval. Upon your first missed payment, you will be immediately removed from all course portals, and communities. Continuing to use the resources we’ve provided after this, with failure to pay either us, or our third party debt collector will be looked at as theft in the United States.

If you’ve purchased the any Showit Templates, and have missed a payment, or have stopped paying for the product, your license is immediately revoked and you are unable to use our canvases or templates in any way, product, service, or form moving forward.

In the case of this happening, you authorize us to share the agreed upon terms you agreed to at the point of purchase, your IP address, your phone number, your email address, and any and all applicable information for them to retrieve the debt. Once submitted to a third-party collections agency, you understand that it will not be us reaching out to you, and instead a third-party mediator.

Sale Pricing:

If we choose to do a sale or “flash sale,” you agree that you are responsible for all payments in which you have agreed, even if they are a different and lesser amount than here listed.

Payments are made through Kartra and Stripe, and if a payment fails, it will be tried again four times with the payment method provided. If the payment has still not been processed after the five attempts and is more than 30 days late, all remaining payments will be sent to a collections agency of our choosing to gather all remaining payments with an additional 30% added (35% will be added if outside of the USA) to the balance to pay for their fees. Our payment processors will try your payment method four times before being we reach out via email, and then send it to a collections agency.
