Users have the opportunity to purchase licenses to Plugins through the Service, including through Subscriptions as described in section 12 below.

Subject to Section 9 herein, fully paid licenses to Plugins will continue past termination provided that the User is not in breach of these Terms of Service, including the EULA. Subject to Section 9 herein, Subscription Plugin licenses, as further described in section 12 below, will continue for as long as you continue to pay the Subscription fees, provided that you have an active PLUGIN ALLIANCE account in good standing and are in full compliance with these Terms of Service, including the EULA.

11. Free Trials

We offer fully-functional 14-day free trials for all individual Plugins. You may activate your free trial by following the instructions on our website here.

12. Subscriptions & Purchases

PLUGIN ALLIANCE may offer subscriptions for certain Plugins or bundle of Plugins (“Subscriptions”) in monthly, bi-annual, annual, etc. subscription terms (each a “Subscription Term”). Your Subscription will automatically renew for additional Subscription Terms unless you cancel it before the next Subscription Term. You will automatically be charged the Subscription price before the start of each Subscription Term (i.e., every month in the case of monthly Subscriptions or each year in the case of annual Subscriptions). You may cancel the Subscription at any time through your PLUGIN ALLIANCE account. Upon cancellation of your Subscription, you will no longer be charged for additional Subscription Terms, and you may continue to use the Plugin for the remaining Subscription Term for which you were charged. For the avoidance of doubt, once you pay for a Subscription Term, you may not request a refund for that Subscription Term except as provided for in section 13 below. If you allow your Subscription to lapse by failing to pay, your Software will no longer run. Subscription pricing is subject to change. New pricing takes effect upon renewal of your Subscription. PLUGIN ALLIANCE reserves the right to change bundle content.

PLUGIN ALLIANCE uses a third party provider to process all payments through its website. You agree to provide complete and accurate payment information and further agree to any terms and conditions of such third party payment provider. In the case of refusal of payment, your access to the Plugins or other PLUGIN ALLIANCE Content will be denied. PLUGIN ALLIANCE cannot be responsible for the processing of any payments via the Service and Users shall contact the third party payment provider directly with any questions or concerns regarding payments. Users may contact PLUGIN ALLIANCE for other inquiries relating to refunds and returns of Plugin license purchases as provided in section 13 below.

13. Refunds

As provided in section 11, we offer 14-day fully-functional, free trials on all of our Plugins for you to test before you buy them so you are sure you will be satisfied with your purchase. Nevertheless, you may request a full refund on your purchase BEFORE YOU ACTIVATE THE PLUGIN LICENSE provided that you request the refund within 14 days of the initial purchase date by contacting us at support@plugin-alliance.com. If you have purchased a Plugin bundle, you must return the whole bundle within 14 days of purchase before you activate any Plugin in the bundle in order to receive a refund as provided herein.
