2. Membership Fees

You hereby authorize us to:

  • Charge the initial Membership fee and the first recurring Membership fee to the credit/debit card or other applicable payment method you provide or use with your Membership application (the “Payment Method”) upon receipt of your application to subscribe for our products and/or services.Automatically charge the Payment Method for each recurring Membership fee payment due and payable under these terms and conditions.

By submitting the Payment Method with your application or any amendment to the Payment Method thereafter, you represent that you are the owner or authorized user of the Payment Method to be charged. You acknowledge and agree that it is your responsibility to ensure the Payment Method remains valid at all times during your Membership and that you will provide SWATrade with all information necessary to allow us to charge the Payment Method (or any valid, replacement credit or debit card) for all amounts due and payable by you to us.

You further acknowledge and agree that if the Payment Method expires or otherwise becomes invalid for any reason during your Membership or you otherwise fail to pay any fees when due, then your access to our products and services may be restricted, and your Membership may be suspended.

Recurring Membership fees are charged every twenty-eight (28) to thirty (30) days. All fees are charged, and refunds processed and paid in US dollars (USD). Your card issuer or Payment Method provider may apply fees for foreign currency transactions and may determine the applicable foreign exchange rate for your transaction. We do not have any control over the application of international transaction fees, futures, or foreign exchange fees, or rates, and we are not responsible for any differential between the price charged by us or refund paid by us in USD and the total price charged to you or received by you in a foreign currency.

You may update Payment Method and other account information online in your back office. Your authorization under these terms and conditions allows us to adjust the scheduled charge to reflect any changes to the recurring Membership, other fees (if applicable), or taxes. We will notify you by email at least ten (10) days prior to making any charge if there is a change to the recurring Membership fee.

ALL PAYMENT AUTHORIZATIONS REMAIN IN EFFECT UNTIL YOUR MEMBERSHIP IS CANCELLED BY YOU OR BY US.

8.2 Arbitration Process and Procedure

The arbitration will be administered by Judicial Arbitration Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”) pursuant to the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules & Procedures effective July 1, 2014 (the “JAMS Rules”) and as modified by this agreement to arbitrate. The JAMS Rules, including instructions for bringing arbitration, are available on the JAMS website at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration. The Minimum Standards are available at https://www.jamsadr.com/consumer-minimum-standards.

The arbitrator will conduct hearings, if any, by teleconference or videoconference, rather than by personal appearances, unless the arbitrator determines upon request by you or by us that an in-person hearing is appropriate. Any in-person appearances will be held at a location reasonably convenient to both parties, considering their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, such determination should be made by JAMS or by the arbitrator.

The arbitrator’s decision will follow the terms of these terms and conditions and will be final and binding. The arbitrator will have authority to award temporary, interim, or permanent injunctive relief or relief providing for specific performance of these terms and conditions, but only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the individual claim before the arbitrator. The award rendered by the arbitrator may be confirmed and enforced in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, nothing in these terms and conditions will preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies, and if the law allows, they can seek relief against us for you.

 

8.3 Applicable Law

These terms and conditions will be governed by and construed under the laws of the United States (including federal arbitration law) and the State of Wyoming without regard to conflicts of law principles.

If we cancel your Membership for Cause, no refund will be due to you. If we cancel your Membership other than for Cause, no refund or credit will be due to you except for the unused portion of the then-current month’s Membership fee. We reserve the right in our sole discretion to approve or deny the reactivation of a canceled Membership.

If you apply to reactivate a canceled Membership within six (6) months of cancellation, your account may only be reactivated with the same IBO enroller as your prior Membership. You may cancel your Membership by emailing support@swatrade.com or using the cancellation option in your back office.
