|
6.7 | Taxes. The Fees are exclusive of Taxes. In addition to the Fees and Charges and any other amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement or the Platform, you agree to pay any and all associated Taxes.

6.8 | Refunds. Any refunds or credits due to you pursuant to this Agreement will be initiated and remitted by Just Boardrooms in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The timing to receive any refund will vary based on your Payment Method and any applicable payment system rules. |

6.12 | Currency Conversion. The currencies available to make and receive payments for any given transaction pursuant to this Agreement or in association with the Platform may be limited for regulatory or operational reasons, including based on your selected Payment Method, your country of residence, or Third Party Service Providers, including Third Party Payment Processors.

6.15 | Non-Availability of Payment Services. Just Boardrooms may temporarily restrict the availability of the payment services with respect to the Platform, or certain services or features thereof, to carry out maintenance measures that ensure the proper or improved functioning of such payment services.

Just Boardrooms will provide notice to you of any changes to the payment services, unless such changes do not materially increase your contractual obligations or decrease your rights under this Agreement. |
6.16 | Third Party Payment Processors. You acknowledge and agree that your Payment Method may involve the use of Third Party Payment Processors that may charge you additional fees when processing payments and refunds in connection with the Platform (including deducting charges from the payment amount).

The payment services with respect to the Platform may contain links to Third Party Payment Processor websites or resources. Your access to or use of certain payment services, including the services of Third Party Payment Processors, may be subject to, or require you to accept, additional terms and conditions. You should review these terms and conditions carefully. If there is a conflict between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions applicable for a specific payment service, including of a contract with a Third Party Payment Processor, the latter terms and conditions will take precedence with respect to your use of or access to that payment service, unless otherwise specified in such terms and conditions. |
