Additional Terms of Use

Additional Terms of Use for Consumer Subscriptions and Parents and Guardians of Children Under 16 Years Old

Security of Subscription. Some of the Services are available only by subscription (the "Subscription Services"). Your right to use the Subscription Services for which you have subscribed is personal to you or members of your immediate family residing with you.  If you are authorized only by an Institutional Subscriber (such as your employer, a school or library) to access and use any of the Subscription Services, your right to use the Subscription Services is not transferable to your family members; the Institutional Subscription-specific Terms of Use for individuals who benefit from an Institutional Subscription are at Section 3 below. You are responsible for protecting the confidentiality of your credentials for access to the Subscription Services (e.g., your username and password) and for complying with any guidelines prescribed by Kronologix from time to time to prevent unauthorized access to the Subscription Services. You agree to immediately notify Kronologix of any unauthorized use of your password or any other breach of security. Kronologix reserves the right to perform one-way encryption of passwords for account maintenance purposes.

Notice to Parents and Guardians. By granting your child permission to use the Subscription Services, you agree to these Terms of Use on behalf of your child. You are responsible for monitoring and supervising your child's use of the Subscription Service in question. If your child is using our Subscription Service and is either under 16 or does not have your permission, please contact us immediately so that we can disable his or her access. If you have questions about whether the Subscription Service is appropriate for your child, please contact us.

Subscriber Agreement

Definitions: As used in these additional terms, "you" or "yours" refers to each person who establishes a subscriber account ("Account") or who is authorized to access and use any of the Subscription Services.

Account: You are responsible for all use of your Account under any user ID (username or email address) or password by any person and for ensuring that all use of your Account complies fully with the provisions of this Usage Agreement.

Automatic Renewal / Subscription Fees and Changes: At the end of the then-current monthly or annual term, subscriptions will automatically renew at our then-current monthly/annual subscription rate. You may change or cancel your subscription at any time by visiting your Kronologix Account Settings. Subscription charges begin on the date your Services subscription is activated or, if applicable, on the date your free trial period ends, and will be billed to your credit or charge card each month (for monthly subscriptions) or year (for annual subscriptions) thereafter. You acknowledge and agree that you will not receive a bill in the mail for your subscription. Kronologix reserves the right to increase subscription rates at any time. Changes to standard subscription rates will be posted at http://corporate.Kronologix.org/standard_rates.html or in a Kronologix communication to you. Increases in subscription rates will apply to existing accounts at the time of their renewal and will not exceed the standard subscription rate that has been in effect and posted for at least 30 days. Reductions in the standard subscription rate will not necessarily be reflected in your renewal subscription rate. Customers subscribing at specially discounted promotional rates may be subject to varying rate increases, none of which shall exceed the standard posted subscription rate.

Termination of Subscription and Free Trial: Either party shall have the right to terminate your subscription at any time by providing notice of termination to the other. In the event of termination of your subscription by either party, you shall have no claims against Kronologix or its affiliates. Termination of your subscriptions or free trial automatically terminates your license to use the Subscription Services and any content or other material contained therein. If you acquired an annual subscription to one of the Subscription Services and you terminate your subscription within 30 days of the date of activation of your Account, you are eligible to receive a refund of the subscription fee paid to Kronologix; you must contact Kronologix Customer Support to receive this refund. If you are a resident of the Netherlands, you can terminate at any time during your annual subscription, on 30 days notice, and receive a pro-rated refund. If you acquired a monthly subscription to the Subscription Services or if your subscription is acquired with a Promotion Certificate and you terminate your subscription, you will not receive any refund of the subscription fee paid to Kronologix. If your subscription to the Subscription Services was acquired with a Gift Certificate and you terminate your subscription within 30 days of the date your Gift Certificate was acquired from Kronologix, you are eligible to receive either: (a) a refund of the subscription fee paid to Kronologix (available only to the party acquiring your Gift Certificate from Kronologix); (b) a credit towards the price of acquiring other Kronologix products or services; or (c) a credit towards the future subscription fee for an existing Subscription Services subscription. You must contact Kronologix Customer Support to receive these remedies. If Kronologix terminates your subscription, other than as a result of your breach of this Agreement, Kronologix will refund to you a pro rata portion of the subscription fee paid to Kronologix, if any, for the unexpired portion of your subscription.

Subscription Changes: If you acquired an annual subscription to the Subscription Services and you wish to change to another Subscription Service offering you may do so without penalty within 30 days of the activation of your Account. You must contact Customer Service to request this or other changes from one Subscription Service to another. If you acquired a monthly subscription to the Subscription Services and you wish to change to another Subscription Service offering, contact Customer Service, the change will be made effective when your current monthly term ends.

Renewals and Cancellations: Your subscription will renew automatically unless we terminate it or you notify us by telephone or email (receipt of which must be confirmed by email reply from us) of your decision to cancel your subscription. You must cancel your subscription before it renews in order to avoid billing of subscription fees for the renewal term to your credit card. Instructions on how to cancel your subscription are available at https://myaccount.Kronologix.org. In the event that you cancel your subscription, unless otherwise required by law, subscription fees will not be refunded, applied to another subscription, or transferred to anyone else and are not convertible to cash or other form of credit. Payments made as part of a monthly subscription cannot be used as credit toward annual subscription charges and are non-transferable.

Credit Cards or Charge Cards: You agree that you will provide a major credit or charge card (e.g., MasterCard, Visa, American Express, or Discover) that Kronologix may charge for all subscription fees or other amounts payable to Kronologix. With respect to such charges, you give the following authorization:

I authorize automatic credit or charge card billing by Kronologix. I agree that the charges described above will be billed by Kronologix to the credit or charge card that I have provided to Kronologix in my Account information, or otherwise when I applied for the Subscription Services. I understand that all fees and charges are nonrefundable. I agree that Kronologix will not be responsible for any expenses that I may incur resulting from overdrawing my bank account or exceeding my credit limit as a result of an automatic charge made under this Agreement.

Account Information. You agree to provide current, complete, and accurate information for your Account in order to receive access to the Subscription Services. You agree to promptly update all Account information to keep your account current, complete, and accurate (such as a change in billing address, credit or charge card number, or credit or charge card expiration date) and you must promptly notify Kronologix if your credit or charge card is cancelled (for example, for loss or theft) or if you become aware of a potential breach of security, such as the unauthorized disclosure or use of your log-in and password. Changes to such information can be made by going to the Account Maintenance area at https://myaccount.Kronologix.org. If you fail to provide Kronologix any of the foregoing information, you agree that Kronologix may assume that your credit or charge card is either still valid or that it has been renewed and may continue charging you for the Subscription Services to which you have subscribed, unless you have cancelled your subscription.
