However, during the checkout process, when confirming payment, the amount shown will include both the Subscription Fee and relevant taxes based upon your zip code.

 

For standard rental Subscriptions, if you take no action to return, exchange, or purchase Furniture, or to otherwise terminate your Subscription, your Subscription will continue to run and you will continue to be charged on a recurring basis, per the payment schedule of your Subscription, until such time you choose to return, exchange, or purchase your Furniture, or otherwise terminate your Subscription.

You must provide and maintain current, complete and accurate Payment Method. You represent and warrant that you have the legal right to use any such Payment Method. The processing of payments will be subject to the terms, conditions and privacy policies of the Payment Processor in addition to these Terms. We are not responsible for error by the Payment Processor. By signing up for a Subscription, you agree to pay Space by Bella, through the Payment Processor, all charges at the prices then in effect for such Subscription in accordance with the applicable payment terms, and you authorize Spaces by Bella, through the Payment Processor, to charge your Payment Method.

• Recurring Billing: The Subscription may consist of a one-time charge, followed by recurring period charges as agreed to by you in the Order Form. By signing up for a Subscription, you acknowledge that there is an initial and recurring payment feature and you accept responsibility for all recurring charges prior to cancellation. We may submit periodic charges based on your subscription plan without further authorization from you, until you provide notice (receipt of which is confirmed by us) that you have terminated this authorization or wish to change your payment method. Such notice will not affect charges submitted before we reasonably could act.  To terminate your authorization or change your payment method, please contact us at hello@spacesbybella.com.
• Reaffirmation of Authorization: Your non-termination of a Subscription reaffirms that we are authorized to charge your Payment Method for the applicable Subscription Fees. We may submit those charges for payment and you will be responsible for such charges. This does not waive our right to seek payment directly from you. Your charges may be payable in advance, in arrears, per usage, or as otherwise described when you initially selected your Subscription (or as your payment terms may be amended thereafter).
• Promotional Discounts: Spaces by Bella may offer discounted Subscriptions or other discounts or promotions (“Promotions”) from time to time. Any applicable sales and use taxes and services fees will be calculated based on the discounted Subscription value after the Promotion is applied. Certain Promotions may only be redeemed once you achieve a specified minimum fee threshold, and any sales or use taxes or service fees do not count towards achieving such threshold. Unless otherwise stated by us in writing, you may only use one Promotion per Order Form and cannot combine Promotions or any other discounted offers. You may not sell or transfer your Promotion. Spaces by Bella may modify or cancel any Promotion at any time. If you violate these Terms, Spaces by Bella reserves the right to cancel your Promotion.
