5.2 Automatic Renewal Terms. You agree to pay any and all prices and fees due for Services purchased or obtained at this Site at the time you order the Services.

5.3 Refunds. You acknowledge and agree that where refunds are issued to your Payment Method, WORKFORCE PERKS’s issuance of a refund receipt is only confirmation that Workforce Perks has submitted your refund to the Payment Method charged at the time of the original sale, and that Workforce Perks has absolutely no control over when the refund will be applied towards your Payment Method’s available balance. You further acknowledge and agree that the payment provider and/or individual issuing bank associated with your Payment Method establish and regulate the time frames for posting your refund, and that such refund posting time frames may range from five (5) business days to a full billing cycle, or longer. In the event a refund is issued to your Payment Method and the payment provider, payment processor or individual issuing bank associated with your Payment Method imposes any limitations on refunds, including but not limited to, limitations as to the timing of the refund or the number of refunds allowed, then WORKFORCE PERKS, in its sole and absolute discretion, reserves the right to issue the refund either (i) in the form of an in-store credit; or (ii) via issuance of a Workforce Perks check, which will be sent to the mailing address on file for your Account. Workforce Perks also has the right, but not the obligation, to offer an in-store credit for customers seeking refunds, even if there are no limitations on refunds imposed by the Payment Method.

5.6 Overdue Payments. Any payment not received from Customer by the due date will accrue (except with respect to charges then under reasonable and good faith dispute), at WORKFORCE PERKS’s discretion, late charges at the rate of 1.5% of the outstanding balance per month, or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is lower, from the date such payment was due until the date paid.

5.7 Suspension of Services. If Customer’s account is 30 days or more overdue (except with respect to charges then under reasonable and good faith dispute), in addition to any of its other rights or remedies, Workforce Perks reserves the right to suspend the Services provided to Customer, without liability to Customer, until such amounts are paid in full.
