Terms By Critical Crow Magazine
Last updated: August 19, 2022

This is the User Agreement ("Agreement") between you and Critical Crow Magazine. ("CCM"), the publisher of this Critical Crow Magazine Web site (the "Site").

In this Agreement, "you" and "your" refer to each user of the Site.

1)  Your Rights.

CCM grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited right to access to the Site and its services provided that you comply fully with this Agreement. The contents of the Site are only for your personal, non-commercial use. You agree not to interfere with the operation of the Site.

2)  Automatic Renewal Services.

CCM may charge you fees for certain products or services offered for sale through our Site including things like the purchase of a membership or subscription ("Paid Services") or other type of paid access. Some Paid Services may be billed either monthly or once annually. You agree to pay, using a valid credit or debit card or other payment method which CCM accepts, all fees and charges, including applicable taxes, you have incurred through your account, including the monthly or annual charges to access the Paid Services.

AUTOMATIC RENEWAL SERVICES: In order to provide you with uninterrupted service, most of our online Paid Services such as Critical Crow Magazine digital and print Paid Services renew automatically at the end of the applicable subscription or membership period at the rate then in effect. CCM will automatically charge your credit or debit card or other payment method on file for an auto-renewing Paid Service unless you cancel the product or service by going to your Account Settings, logging in with your username and password, and then selecting "cancel membership." Your Account Settings can be accessed through a link in the footer of any page on www.criticalcrow.ro.

Cancelling Services: You may cancel your Paid Services at any time subject to the following terms:

If you purchase a one-year Paid Service, which is billed once annually at the time you purchase the Paid Service, you may cancel at any time during that Paid Service year by logging in to your "Account Settings" and selecting "cancel membership." Upon cancellation, CCM will refund the remainder of your Paid Service fees on a pro-rata basis that will cover the unused months of your Paid Service. Partial months will not be refunded. Your access to a Paid Service will terminate on the next monthly anniversary of your purchase date. For example, if you purchased a one-year Paid Service on January 12 and cancel on March 10, your access will terminate on March 12 and you will obtain a refund for the period Mar 12 - January 12.

If you purchase a Paid Service which is billed monthly, you may cancel at any time by logging in to your "Account Settings" page and selecting "cancel membership." Partial months will not be refunded. Upon cancellation, your access to an online Paid Service will terminate on the next monthly anniversary of your purchase date. For exampe, if you purchase the monthly Paid Service on December 5 and cancel on December 25, your access will terminate on January 4.

Payment Amount: CCM reserves the right to increase fees and surcharges, including fees for Paid Services, or to institute new fees at any time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you purchase a Paid Service on an annual basis, your rate remains in effect throughout the membership or subscription year, and is subject to increase only for subsequent membership or subscription years. If you purchase a Paid Service on a monthly basis, the rate for that Paid Service is subject to change at any time for subsequent months.

Updating Payment Information: If you are enrolled in an auto-renewing Paid Services, you must update your credit or debit card or other payment information promptly to keep your account current, complete and accurate (e.g., for changes in your credit card number, billing address or expiration date). You can go to your membership on the site and update your credit card information if needed and your subscription information.  If your credit or debit card or other payment method information is not current, complete and accurate and you do not notify us promptly when such information changes, your account may be suspended or terminated.

Updating Registration Information: For purposes of identification and billing, you agree to provide CCM with accurate, complete, and updated information required when purchasing a product or service on our Site.  You may update your Registration Information at any time through the Account feature by clicking the Account link located at the top of the www.criticalcrow.ro home page and logging in. Failure to comply with this provision (including without limitation falsification of any Registration Information) may, at CCM’s option, result in immediate suspension or termination of your right to use our Site, including the Paid Services.

Unauthorized Use: You agree to promptly update your Registration Information in your "Account Settings" page if you know of or suspect unauthorized use of your Paid Service or other product or service, or in the event of any known or suspected breach of security, including loss, theft, or unauthorized disclosure of your credit or debit card or other payment method information. In the event of a breach of security on your part, you will remain liable for any unauthorized use of your Paid Service or other product or service until you update your Registration Information. If your credit or debit card expires, is canceled, is lost or is subject to use without your authorization, or if your Paid Service or other Site service is subject to use without your authorization, go to your "Account Settings" page to update your Registration Information.

Other Charges: In addition to the charges set forth above, you are responsible for all charges associated with connecting to the Site.
