You must have Internet access and provide us with a current, valid, accepted method of payment to use the Slamdance Channel Subscription service. We will bill the subscription fee to your payment method. You must cancel your subscription before it renews in order to avoid billing of the next period’s subscription fees to your payment method. We may, from time to time and at our sole discretion, offer a number of special promotional membership plans, including membership plans offered by third parties in conjunction with the provision of their own products and services. Some membership plans may have differing conditions and limitations, which will be disclosed at your registration or in other communications made available to you. Where the terms and conditions for those membership plans conflict with the terms and conditions set out herein, these Terms & Conditions shall apply.

We reserve the right to change the timing of our billing, in particular, as indicated below, if your payment method has not successfully settled. In the event your subscription begins on a day not contained in a given month, we may bill your payment method on a day in the applicable month or such other day as we deem appropriate. For example, if you started your Slamdance Channel monthly subscription or membership plan on January 31st, your next payment date is likely to be February 28th, and your Payment method would be billed on that date. Your renewal date may change due to changes in your Subscription.

If a payment is not successfully settled, due to expiration, insufficient funds, or otherwise, and you do not edit your payment method information or cancel your account, you remain responsible for any uncollected amounts and authorize us to continue billing the payment method, as it may be updated. This may result in a change to your payment billing dates. If you signed up for the Slamdance Channel using your account with a third party (e.g., iTunes, Google Play or similar account) as a payment method, and wish to cancel your Slamdance Channel subscription at any time, including during your free trial, you will need to do so through such third party, including by visiting your account with the applicable third party and turning off auto-renew, or unsubscribing from the Slamdance Channel service.
