You shall provide SorsX 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 authorize SorsX to charge all Subscription fees incurred through your account to any such payment instruments.

SorsX may, at its sole discretion, offer a Subscription with a free trial for a limited period of time (“Free Trial”).

SorsX will provide you with a reasonable prior notice of any change in Subscription fees to give you an opportunity to terminate your Subscription before such change becomes effective.
Your continued use of Service after Subscription fee change comes into effect constitutes your agreement to pay the modified Subscription fee amount.
