Membership/Premium Features

Chef Notepad may offer certain Users the ability to purchase Premium Features through the Service. The categories and prices of our Premium Features are described in the application below and are subject to change from time to time.

Subscription Services: The Premium Features may include automatically recurring payments for periodic charges (“Subscription Service”). If you activate a Subscription Service, you authorise Chef Notepad to periodically charge, on a going-forward basis and until cancellation of either the recurring payments or your account, all accrued sums on or before the payment due date for the accrued sums. The “Subscription Billing Date” is the date when you purchase your first subscription to the Subscription Service. Your account will be charged automatically on the Subscription Billing Date all applicable fees for the next subscription period. The subscription will continue unless and until you cancel your subscription or we terminate it. You must cancel your subscription before it renews in order to avoid billing of the next periodic Subscription Fee to your account. We will bill the periodic Subscription Fee to the payment method you provide to us during registration (or to a different payment method if you change your payment information).

We will bill your Payment Method at the time you purchase one of our Premium Features, or shortly thereafter. If you cancel a transaction before completion, this pre-approval may result in those funds not otherwise being immediately available to you. You acknowledge and agree that any credit card and related billing and payment information that you provide during your purchase of Premium Content may be shared with Chef Notepad’s payment processor(s) for the sole purpose of processing the transaction.

Availability of Premium Content: We make reasonable efforts to accurately display the attributes of our Premium Content, including the various resources; however, the actual performance of the resources will depend on your computer system, and we cannot guarantee that your computer will accurately display such content. The inclusion of any particular Premium Content or service on our Service at a particular time does not imply or warrant that these content or services will be available at any time.

By purchasing Premium Content, you agree that we may communicate with you electronically any important information regarding your purchases or your account and as set forth in our Privacy Policy. We may also provide notices to you by posting them on our website, or by sending them to an email address or street address that you previously provided to us. We may update these Payments Terms at any time without notice as we deem necessary to the full extent permitted by law. The Payments Terms in place at the time you confirm a transaction will govern that transaction.

Subscription Information

Certain Services may be subject to fees charged by Chef Notepad ("Fees") which will be identified at the point of purchase of such Services. Additional functionality and services may be offered or provided by us from time to time and these will be described on the Website. Services requiring Fees which have not been previously agreed upon will be notified to you, and your agreement to be responsible for any such additional Fees will be required. A valid payment method, including credit card, is required to process the payment for your Subscription. You shall provide Chef Notepad with accurate and complete billing information including full name, address, state, zip code, telephone number, and a valid payment method information. By submitting such payment information, you automatically authorise Chef Notepad to charge all Subscription fees incurred through your account to any such payment instruments. You agree to pay all amounts due upon demand directly to Chef Notepad, and Chef Notepad further reserves the right to either suspend or terminate your Chef Notepad account and your access to the Services in such circumstances.

You will be responsible for all Subscription fees incurred for the then-current Subscription period. If you cancel, your cancellation will be effective immediately, but Chef Notepad will allow you to access the Subscription features until the most recently paid-up Subscription period ends, and then we will terminate your access.
