If, however, the activation date of your subscription (or, as applicable, your free trial) is on the 29th, 30th or 31st day of a month, and your Billing Date does not exist in a particular month because there are fewer than thirty-one (31) days in the month payment is due, your Billing Date for that particular renewal (or initial term, in the case of a renewal following the expiration of an applicable free trial) will be on the last day of the month in which your Billing Date would otherwise be. Each charge on the applicable Billing Date applies to the subscription period immediately following the Billing Date (e.g., a charge for a monthly subscription applies to the month immediately following the Billing Date). You understand that any applicable sales or use taxes will be payable by you, and may be included in each periodic statement.
Castinn may, in its sole discretion, suspend access to your account or deactivate your account without notice to you if Castinn is unable to process your payment or if payment is past due, regardless of the amount.

- Cancellations and Refunds
You may cancel a free trial at any time during the free trial period and incur no charge. After the free trial is complete, you will be charged at the rate and schedule selected when you enrolled in the trial. Monthly subscriptions are not eligible for a refund, but can be cancelled to prevent additional future charges. For all initial purchases of subscriptions longer than one month, you may cancel prior to renewal to prevent future renewal charges; or cancel during the first fourteen (14) days after purchase or renewal to remain eligible for a full refund on the subscription payment. If your subscription begins with a free trial and converts into an annual subscription, the fourteen day refund period begins once the free trial ends. If the cancellation occurs after the first fourteen days or if the charge was for a monthly subscription, you will not receive a refund. For all renewals of subscriptions longer than one month, you may cancel within fourteen days of the renewal date and receive a full refund; cancellations made after this period are not eligible for a refund. Monthly subscriptions (both initial subscriptions and renewals) may be cancelled at any time but you will not receive a refund.

Such terms are posted in connection with the applicable service, product, software, competition or promotion and are in addition to these Terms of Use. In the event of a conflict, the additional terms prevail over these Terms of Use. Castinn may change, suspend or discontinue any aspect of the Websites at any time and without prior notice.
11. Entire Agreement
You acknowledge and agree that these Terms of Use, the Privacy Policy, any applicable end user license or similar agreements contain the entire agreement between the parties relating to the Websites; provided, however these Terms of Use do not alter in any way the terms or conditions of any other agreement User may have with Castinn. If any provision in these Terms of Use is invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, that part will be deemed severable and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.

13. No Oral Agreements or Modifications
There shall be no amendment or modification of these Terms of Use unless the same is in writing and signed by an authorized representative of Castinn. Oral agreements shall expressly be non-binding and unenforceable.
14. Dispute Resolution
Please read this section carefully. It affects rights that you may otherwise have. It provides for resolution of most disputes through arbitration instead of court trials and class actions. Arbitration is final and binding and subject to only very limited review by a court. This arbitration clause shall survive termination of this agreement.
If a dispute arises between you and Castinn, our goal is to provide you a neutral and cost effective means of resolving the dispute quickly.
1. Negotiations
Before initiating any arbitration or court proceeding, you and Castinn agree to first attempt to negotiate any dispute, controversy or claim related to the Websites, these Terms of Use or the Privacy Policy, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory (each, a “Claim”) (except those Claims expressly provided in Section 14.7 below) informally for at least thirty (30) days. Negotiations will begin upon written notice. Castinn will send its notice via Certified Mail to your billing or other physical address (if on file with Castinn) and email you a copy to the email address you have provided. You agree to send your notice via Certified Mail to Spaceprk’s and email a copy to info@thecastinn.com.
2. Binding Arbitration
This Section 14 is referred to in these Terms of Use as the “Arbitration Agreement.” You agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between you and Castinn or a Castinn affiliate, whether relating to these Terms of Use (including any alleged breach thereof), or otherwise, shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than a court in accordance with the terms of this Arbitration Agreement, except you may assert individual claims in small claims court, if your claims qualify. Your rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator, not a judge or jury. The ICC Rules of Arbitration governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement.
3. Arbitration Procedures.
The arbitration of any dispute or claim shall be conducted in accordance with the ICC Rules of Arbitration (“ICC”) as modified by this agreement. You and Castinn agree that the Terms of Use evidences a transaction in interstate commerce and this arbitration provision will be interpreted and enforced in accordance with the ICC arbitration law.
An arbitrator may not award relief in excess of or contrary to what the Terms of Use provides, including Section 18 Limitation of Liability, order consolidation or arbitration on a class wide or representative basis, or award punitive damages or any other damages aside from the prevailing party’s actual economic damages, except that the arbitrator may award on an individual basis damages expressly required by statute and may order injunctive or declaratory relief pursuant to an applicable consumer protection statute.
