Payments will be charged on the day you subscribe and you enter your card number for the page and this will cover the use of that page for the period as indicated. The service fees are not refundable.

You must select a payment method and provide us with correct billing and payment information. All billing information, including payment method, have to be kept up to date. You give us official permission for and direct us to charge your selected payment method for these charges or, if your designated payment method fails, to charge any other payment method you have on record with us. Also, you allow us and direct us to keep information about the payment method(s) associated with your subscription. If we do not receive payment from your selected payment method or any other payment method on file, you agree to pay all amounts due upon demand by us. Every time you use a fee-based service on medotcom.com, you reaffirm that (1) we are authorized to charge your designated payment method; (2) we may submit charges incurred under your account for payment; and (3) you will be responsible for such charges, even if your account is cancelled by you or terminated by us.
