​In the event of any conflict between these Terms & Conditions and the Third-party Payment Processor´s terms, these Terms & Conditions shall control.  Meraya does not provide refunds or credits on behalf of Third-party Payment Processors.  Any modification to the purchase of a service or any request for a refund or credit for the purchase of a service shall be handled between you and Meraya directly.  If you request a refund or credit directly from the Third-party Payment Processor, and/or if you are granted a refund or credit directly from a Third-party Payment Processor, you will be considered in breach of this Agreement.

6. Payment, Fees, & Taxes

As consideration for any purchase you make on our Website, you shall pay Meraya all applicable fees and taxes.  We (or our Third-party Payment Processor) shall authorize your credit card, bank account, or other approved payment facility you provided during the purchasing process for the full payment of the fees and any applicable taxes, and you hereby consent to the same.  

You must provide current, complete, and accurate billing and credit card information.  You must promptly update all billing information (such as billing address, card number, and expiration date) to keep your account current, complete, and accurate, and you must promptly contact us if your credit card is lost or stolen, or if you become aware of a potential breach of account security (such as an unauthorized disclosure or use of your sign-in Name or Email).

You hereby authorize Meraya to obtain or determine updated or replacement expiration dates for your credit card in the event that the credit card you provided us expires.  We reserve the right to charge any renewal card issued to you to the same extent as the expired card.  If payment is not received from your credit card issuer, you hereby agree to pay all amounts due upon demand.  You agree to pay all costs of collection, including attorney’s fees and costs, on any outstanding balance.
