II. N21 SERVICES AND TOOLS
- Premium Memberships and automatic renewal - With respect to Premium Memberships:
- A Premium Membership is a monthly subscription service and as such renews automatically every month using the Premium Member’s credit card details on file for the Premium Member, and the amount charged to the Premium Member’s credit card depends on the applicable monthly Premium Membership level subscribed to at the time of sign up, and any additional Premium Content or other purchases made by the Premium Member on the www.n21.com website. A Premium Member may select to upgrade, downgrade or cancel their Premium Membership at any time on the www.n21.com website with the changes taking effect at the end of the current monthly billing cycle subscription period. “Subscription Credits” are credits allotted to certain Premium Members which give such members the ability to access certain Premium Content; Subscription Credits are allocated on the first day of each monthly billing cycle subscription period; unused Subscription Credits do not accrue from one billing cycle to the next and expire on the last day of that billing cycle, and as such are no longer valid or usable at the end of each such billing cycle.
- Premium Content can only be used during the term of the Premium Membership, and when such Premium Membership is cancelled, access to any current or past Premium Content you accessed shall cease; however, in the event you renew your Premium Membership within 12 months from cancellation, you will again have access to that Premium Content while your Premium Membership is current.
- Premium Content, the N21 Mobile App Suite, and any products, services, or applications downloaded via the www.n21.com website are also subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable Member End User License Agreement that will appear along with a “DONE” box or button, which you will have to click or check before you will be allowed to access the applicable content. No Premium Content or other digital media is being offered for sale; only an applicable use license is being offered as provided in the applicable end user license agreement.
- Premium Content functionality requires an appropriate smart device (Apple or Android) as well as internet access from said device.
- If you sign up for a Premium Membership, you must provide us with a current, valid, accepted method of payment, which you may update from time to time ("Payment Method") and you authorize us to charge your Payment Method for the subscriptions, services and products you purchase from us.
- Other products and subscriptions offered by N21 (e.g. physical CD Continuing Education Programs) may be available at a discounted price for certain Premium Membership types as indicated during sign up. If your Premium Membership is downgraded to a lesser Premium Membership type or not renewed for any reason and you still maintain a subscription to a product or service (e.g. physical CD Continuing Education Program), the price of such subscription to such product or service may increase if your previous Premium Membership type entitled you to a discounted price; in such event, an Email notification will be sent to you informing you of any changes to ongoing subscription costs (e.g. physical CD Continuing Education Program) at the time of your Premium Membership status change.
- Free Trial Premium Membership -
- Your Premium Membership may start with a free trial (“Free Trial”); if so, the Free Trial period will expire 1 month from the date of sign up, or as otherwise specified during sign-up, and is intended to allow you to try the Premium Membership to see if it is right for you. You will be notified during sign-up whether you are eligible for a Free Trial.
- N21 will charge your Payment Method for the Premium Membership fee upon the expiration of the Free Trial period unless you cancel your Premium Membership prior to the end of the Free Trial period. N21 will send an email notice to the email address listed in your membership profile prior to the expiration date of your Free Trial to remind you that your Free Trial is coming to an end and that your Payment Method will be charged for your Premium Membership if you do not cancel.
- Billing -
- Billing Cycle. The Premium Membership fee will be billed on a monthly billing cycle to your Payment Method on the day corresponding to the commencement of your Premium Membership. For example, if you sign up for the Premium Membership on May 4th, then your next monthly charge will occur on or about May 4th. In some cases, the timing of your billing may change, for example if your Payment Method has not successfully settled.
- Payment Methods. You can change your Payment Method by logging into your account on the www.n21.com website. If a payment is not successfully settled, due to expiration, insufficient funds, or otherwise, and you do not change your Payment Method or cancel your account, we will suspend your access to the applicable Services or subscription until we have obtained a valid Payment Method (or we may cancel your account if you do not provide us with a valid Payment Method). You authorize us to continue billing the Payment Method, as it may be updated. For certain Payment Methods, the issuer of your Payment Method may charge you a foreign transaction fee or other charges. Check with your Payment Method service provider for details.
- Non-Member End User License Agreement applicable to Connect21 App – Premium Members will be able to share certain Content with other persons who are not Premium Members via the Connect21 App; such other persons will be required to agree to a NON-Member End User License Agreement that will appear along with a “DONE” box or button, which such other persons will have to click or check before they will be allowed to access the applicable content. No Content or other digital media is being offered for sale; only an applicable use license is being offered as provided in the applicable end user license agreement.
- Associate Memberships – Associate Members have access to limited areas of the www.n21.com website and do not have access to Premium Content. Associate Members may purchase certain products or services (e.g. physical CD Continuing Education Program) specified on the www.n21.com website.
- Return, Refund, and Cancellation Policy -
- Subscription Fees - Currently, our Premium Membership is offered only on a monthly basis; however, to the extent we offer any subscriptions options in the future that allow you to purchase semi-annual or yearly memberships, any subscription fees you pay under those programs for any unused future prepaid whole months remaining on such applicable subscription which exist on the date you cancel such subscriptions are refundable.
- Premium Membership Cancellation. You can cancel your Premium Membership at any time, and you will continue to have access to the Premium Membership service through the end of your monthly billing period. We do not provide refunds or credits for any partial-month membership periods or unused Subscription Credits. You can cancel your membership by logging into your account and clicking the appropriate “Cancel Subscription” icon or sending us an email at CustomerService@Network21.com.
- Continuing Education Program (CEP) Cancellation - If you want to cancel your standing monthly physical CD CEP program subscription to avoid receiving further shipments of the Basic or Professional Continuing Education Programs, you must, before the 1st of the next month in which you wish to cancel: (a) cancel your subscription online by clicking the CEP Cancel Subscription icon, (, or (b) cancel via e-mail from you sent to and received by CustomerService@Network21.com.
