3. Pricing and Payment

3.1 Pricing

The Lifetime Access Plan is offered at a one-time payment of $50 USD. This is a promotional price and may change at any time. However, once you purchase, your price is locked in for life - no recurring fees, no subscription increases.

• Credit Cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover)

3.4 Taxes

The displayed price may not include applicable taxes (VAT, GST, sales tax, etc.) depending on your location. Any additional taxes will be shown at checkout before you complete your purchase. You are responsible for all applicable taxes.

If we detect fraudulent activity:

• We may report the activity to relevant authorities
• Legal action may be taken for serious violations

10. No Recurring Charges

The Lifetime Access Plan is a one-time payment. Unlike subscriptions, you will never be charged again. There are no hidden fees, no automatic renewals, and no recurring billing. Your $50 purchase grants you unlimited access forever - that's our promise.

11. Price Changes

We reserve the right to change our pricing at any time. However, price changes will never affect existing Lifetime Access holders. If you've already purchased, you're locked in forever at your purchase price. Price increases only apply to new purchases made after the change.

12. Refunds and Cancellations

We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee on all purchases. For complete details about our refund process, eligibility, and terms, please see our Refund Policy.

Since there are no recurring charges, there is no "cancellation" process. If you're unhappy with your purchase within 30 days, simply request a refund.
