Fees

23. All fees payable by you for the Services shall be in accordance with the scale of fees and rates published from time to time by us on the Site (the "Pricing Structure"). The current Pricing Structure, which describes our current membership packages, is set forth at the end of these Terms, at Appendix A.

24. The Pricing Structure includes usage limits with you ("Usage Limit"). We reserve the right to alter the Pricing Structure, including ceasing to offer elements of the Services as provided for in section 3. The current Pricing Structure will always be posted on our Site and where a significant change (meaning a change that would lead to you paying more for the Services) is made to the Pricing Structure, we will provide you with notice at least 30 days prior to that new Pricing Structure being applied to the Services we provide you. By continuing to access or use the Services after receiving such notice, you agree to be bound by the revised Pricing Structure as and from the start of the next subscription period, if applicable. If you do not agree to the new Pricing Structure, you can then notify us that you want to discontinue use of the Services.

We are not obliged to contact you prior to a Migration, however such Migration is likely to incur additional fees for you under the Pricing Structure and we will provide you with notice of these additional fees following your usage increase. If you do not agree to the Migration decision and do not wish to pay the additional fees, you must then notify us that you want to revert to the previous Usage Limit and take the required steps to effect this change, i.e. a reduction in your usage. Please note that if your actual usage is such that you exceed the highest available Usage Limit available at that time, then it is possible that no such Migration is possible, and we reserve the right to terminate the Services without notice to you in accordance with section 21(f) of these Terms of Use.
