6. Payment Terms.
In order to register for or use a paid version of BananaDesk, you may be required to provide us with billing and account information ("Billing Information") for a credit card or another payment system for which you are authorized to approve charges (each, a "Payment Source"). You must provide us with true, accurate, current and complete Billing Information and maintain and promptly update your Billing Information to keep it true, accurate, current and complete.
You authorize us to automatically and immediately bill your Payment Source when charges for your use of the paid version of BananaDesk are due, without any further action on your part or other prior notice from us. You assume full responsibility for such charges, even if such charges are declined or not paid by your Payment Source.
If you register to use a paid version of BananaDesk on a free-trial basis and you do not cancel the trial before the expiration of the trial period, then, upon the expiration of the trial period, your account will be automatically converted to a paid account and your Payment Source will be billed for that paid version of BananaDesk. We will notify you by email prior to this automatic conversion.
If your Payment Source is invalid, if charges billed to your Payment Source are declined or not paid, or if you fail to pay charges for a paid version of BananaDesk when due, your account may be downgraded, suspended or cancelled, at our discretion. If your account is suspended, we may, but are not obligated to, maintain your account and/or related content and information, in order to allow you pay the past due charges and restore your account. If the charges are not paid, your account may be cancelled.
Unless stated to the contrary, all charges for paid versions of BananaDesk are non-refundable, even if your use of that paid version is cancelled before the end of your current billing period.

If you subscribe to BananaDesk on an annual basis, your payment of the Service Fee for the initial annual term is due on the Effective Date specified in your Paid Plan upgrade screen. Payment of the Service Fee for each annual term thereafter is due in advance on the first day of each such annual term. We will invoice you for such Service Fees and you will pay each such invoice within thirty (30) days of its date.
If you subscribe to a Paid Plan Service on a monthly basis, your payment of the Service Fee for the initial monthly term is due on the Effective Date specified in your upgrade screen. Payment of the Service Fee for each monthly term thereafter is due in advance on the first day of each such monthly term. The Service Fee will be paid to us via your Payment Source.

If your account is upgraded from a free version of BananaDesk to a paid version of BananaDesk, your Payment Source will be automatically billed for that paid version of BananaDesk.
If your account is upgraded to a service level of a paid version of BananaDesk for which the charges are greater than your current service level, your Payment Source will be automatically billed the new amount due at the start of the next payment period, including any prorated amount for a partial billing period.
If your account is downgraded from a paid version of BananaDesk to a free version, or your account is downgraded to a service level of a paid version for which the charges are less than your current service level, you will not receive a refund of the difference in the charges due for the balance of your current billing period.
If your account is downgraded from a paid version of BananaDesk to which a discount is applied (including but not limited to a term or volume discount) to a paid version to which a lesser or no discount is applied, we may bill your Payment Source to recover the amount of the difference in the charges due retroactive to the first date the discount was applied.
Upgrading or downgrading your account between different versions or service levels of BananaDesk may result in changes to the features and functionality available to you. Further, downgrading your account may result in some or all of the content and information relating to your account being no longer available to you and/or being deleted by us. We will have no liability for content or information that is no longer available to you or that is deleted due to the downgrading of your account.
