Furthermore, the Content available through the Services may contain links to other websites, which are completely independent of CollectiveSoft.

Your linking to any other webites is at your own risk. You agree that you must evaluate, and bear all risks associated with, the use of any Content, that you may not rely on said Content, and that under no circumstances will CollectiveSoft be liable in any way for any Content or for any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of the use of any Content posted, emailed or otherwise made available via the Services.

CollectiveSoft charges and collects in advance for use of its paid Services. A valid credit card is required for all pay plans. Users on the Free Plan are not required to provide a credit card number. CollectiveSoft grants all new users a free 30-day trial on the Small Group Plan. If you would like to continue on the Small Group after your trial ends, you will need to enter your billing information before your trial ends; otherwise, you will be downgraded to the Free Plan at the end of your trial. The plans are billed in advance on a monthly basis. If you are not completely satisfied with any CollectiveSoft Service for any reason within 30 days, you can get a full refund by contacting us at support@collectivesoft.com. All fees are exclusive of all taxes, levies, or duties imposed by taxing authorities, and you shall be responsible for payment of all such taxes, levies, or duties, excluding only United States (federal or state) taxes.
You can upgrade or downgrade your plan at any time from the User Profile page. Any upgrade or downgrade in plan level is immediate. For an upgrade in plan level, you will be immediately billed for your first month at the new rate and any remaining days left under your old plan will be converted to the new plan using a conversion rate proportional to the rate differences between the two plans. For a downgrade in plan level, your credit card that you provided will be automatically charged the new rate on your next billing cycle (unless you have downgraded to the Free Plan, in which case you will not be charged again). Downgrading your plan may cause the loss of Content, features, or capacity of your Account. CollectiveSoft does not accept any liability for such loss. CollectiveSoft reserves the right to modify its fees and charges and to introduce new charges at any time, upon at least 30 days prior notice to you, which notice may be provided by e-mail.
If you would like to permanently delete your account and you are currently on a paying account, you must first downgrade to the Free Plan. Once you are on the Free Plan, you can terminate your account by clicking the "Delete account" button at the bottom of the user profile page. Be aware that terminating your account will result in the immediate deletion of all your Content from the CollectiveSoft Services and that this information cannot be recovered once your account is terminated.
Any violation of the Terms of Service will result in the termination of your account. In addition, CollectiveSoft, in its sole discretion, may terminate an account for any reason at any time. In the event of a termination, your account will be disabled and you may not be granted access to your account or any files of other Content contained in your account. You agree and acknowledge that CollectiveSoft has no obligation to retain your data, and may delete such data, if you have materially breached the Terms of Service and your account has been terminated.
You agree and understand that some parts of the CollectiveSoft Services may display ads and other information adjacent to and related to the Content. Any such ads or other information is served using a completely automated process. No human will read your Content in order to target such advertisements or other information without your consent, and no email content, addresses, or other personally identifiable information will be provided to advertisers as part of the CollectiveSoft Services. Your correspondence or business dealings with, or participation in promotions of, advertisers found on or through the CollectiveSoft Services, including payment and delivery of related goods or services, and any other terms, conditions, warranties or representations associated with such dealings, are solely between you and such advertiser. You agree that CollectiveSoft shall not be responsible or liable for any loss or damage of any sort incurred as the result of any such dealings or as the result of the presence of such advertisers on the CollectiveSoft Services.
