Thank you for visiting the Axus Travel App a division of Northstar Travel Media, LLC (“Axus”) website at www.AxusTravelApp.com (the “Site”). Your use of the information, materials, text, images and other content on the Site is subject to the terms and conditions below, which we may be revised from time to time without notice. Please read these terms and conditions carefully. BY ACCESSING THE SITE, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTAND AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE GENERAL WEBSITE TERMS AND CONDITIONS (THESE “TERMS AND CONDITIONS”).
Use of Content: The text, images, data, illustrations, files, audio and video clips, designs, documents, and other materials and content (collectively, the “Content”) on the Site is our property and may be protected by copyright and other restrictions. Copyrights and other proprietary rights in the Content may also be owned by parties other than us. You may not copy, modify, distribute or otherwise use any of the Content, except for your personal and non-commercial use. Please note that we may withdraw any Content from the Site at any time in our sole discretion.
User Warranty: By downloading, printing, or otherwise using any of the Content, you agree that you will (i) restrict your use of such Content to personal and non-commercial use, (ii) comply with all of these Terms and Conditions, and (iii) not violate the our rights or the rights of any other person or entity. We do not warrant that use of any of the Content will not infringe the rights of third parties.
Commercial Use is Restricted: Unauthorized commercial publication or exploitation of text, images, documents, materials or any other Content is prohibited without our express written consent. If you wish to use any of the Content for commercial use, publication, or any purpose other than personal use, you must obtain our written permission prior to such use. We may, in our sole discretion, grant permission for such use on a case-by-case basis and we may charge a usage fee for such use.
Fees and Payments. You agree to pay to Axus any fees for the services you purchase or use (including any overage fees), in accordance with the pricing and payment terms presented to you for that service. Where applicable, you will be billed using the billing method you select through your account management page. Fees paid by you are non-refundable, except as provided in these Terms and Conditions or when required by law. Some of our services are billed on a subscription basis (we call these “Subscriptions”). This means that you will be billed in advance on a recurring, periodic basis (each period is called a “billing cycle”). Billing cycles are typically monthly or annual, depending on what subscription plan you select when purchasing a Subscription. Your Subscription will automatically renew at the end of each billing cycle unless you cancel auto-renewal through your online account management page, or by contacting our customer support team. While we will be sad to see you go, you may cancel auto-renewal on your Subscription at any time, in which case your Subscription will continue until the end of that billing cycle before terminating. You may cancel auto-renewal on your Subscription immediately after the Subscription starts; however, a 50% penalty applies to annual prepaid subscriptions if cancelled within six months of purchase. If subscription is cancelled after six months of purchase, the refund is prorated for the remaining term. Axus may change the fees charged for the services at any time, provided that, for services billed on a subscription basis, the change will become effective only at the end of the then-current billing cycle of your Subscription. Axus will provide you with reasonable prior written notice of any change in fees to give you an opportunity to cancel your Subscription before the change becomes effective.
Taxes and Overage Fees. Unless otherwise stated, you are responsible for any taxes (other than Axus’s income tax) or duties associated with the sale of the services, including any related penalties or interest (collectively, “Taxes”). You will pay Axus for the services without any reduction for Taxes. If Axus is obliged to collect or pay Taxes, the Taxes will be invoiced to you, unless you provide Axus with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority or other documentation providing evidence that no tax should be charged. If you are required by law to withhold any Taxes from your payments to Axus, you must provide Axus with an official tax receipt or other appropriate documentation to support such payments. Unless otherwise stated, any overage fees incurred by you will be billed in arrears on a monthly basis. Overage fees which remain unpaid for 30 days after being billed are considered overdue. Failure to pay overage fees when due may result in the applicable service being limited, suspended, or terminated (subject to applicable legal requirements), which may result in a loss of your data associated with that service.
