About Our Site:
MoveOnIn.com, Inc. and its affiliates, successors, parents, subsidiaries, assigns,
licensees, and designates (collectively and individually "MoveOnIn" )
provide you access to the RoommateClick.com web site (the "Site" ) subject
to the terms and conditions of use set forth below (the "Terms of Use"
). RoommateClick offers certain services via the Site, including, without limitation,
roommate matching services (the "Services" ). You agree to read the Terms
of Use carefully before using the Site or the Services. By using the Site and the
Services, you agree to abide by the Terms of Use, as follows:
1. MEMBERSHIP & SUBSCRIPTION
1. Pricing.
You may become a Member of RoommateClick at no cost. For purposes of this Agreement
the term “Member or Membership” includes all paying Subscribers, unless
where its usage indicates otherwise. As a Member, you will have the ability to participate
in some, but not all, of the features and services available within the Service.
In order to access all features and services, you must become a paying Subscriber
to the service. Please see Subscribe for a description of the current subscription
plans and their prices.
2. Term.
This Agreement will remain in full force and effect while you use the website RoommateClick.com
and/or are a Member. You may terminate your Membership and/or Subscription at any
time, for any reason, by following the instructions on the Cancel Billing link on
the Edit Your Profile page. If you terminate your Subscription, your Membership
will remain active until the end of your Subscription term.
RoommateClick.com may terminate your Membership and/or Subscription by sending notice
to you at the email address you provide. If RoommateClick.com terminates your Membership
or Subscription in the Service because you have breached this Agreement, you will
not be entitled to any refund of unused Subscription fees. All decisions regarding
the termination of accounts shall be made in the sole discretion of RoommateClick.com.
RoommateClick.com is not required to provide you notice prior to terminating your
Membership and/or Subscription. RoommateClick.com is not required, and may be prohibited,
from disclosing a reason for the termination of your account. Even after your Membership
or Subscription is terminated, this Agreement will remain in effect. All terms that
by their nature may survive termination of this Agreement shall be deemed to survive
such termination. From time to time, RoommateClick.com may remove the profiles of
non-subscribers.
3. Charges on Your Billing Account.
RoommateClick.com bills you through an online account for use of the service. You
agree to pay RoommateClick.com all charges at the prices then in effect for any
use of the service by you or other persons (including your agents), and you authorize
RoommateClick.com to charge your chosen payment provider (your "Payment Method")
for the Service. You agree to make payment using that selected Payment Method. RoommateClick.com
reserves the right to correct any errors or mistakes that it makes even if it has
already requested or received payment.
One Day Trial. If you have Subscribed to a One Day Trial, your Membership will be
automatically upgraded to a full Platinum Membership (please see Subscribe for a
description of the current Subscription plans) unless you cancel your upgrade within
twenty-four (24) hours of Subscribing to the One Day Trial. To cancel the upgrade
and avoid being charged a full Platinum Membership Subscription fee, please refer
to Cancel Billing.
Continuous Service/Recurring Membership Fees. Upon Subscribing, you have the option
of selecting a Membership plan that consists of an initial period, for which there
is a one time charge, followed by recurring period charges as agreed to by you.
By entering into this Agreement, you acknowledge that your Subscription has an initial
and recurring payment feature and you accept responsibility for all recurring charges
prior to cancellation. ROOMMATECLICK.COM MAY SUBMIT PERIODIC CHARGES (E.G., MONTHLY)
WITHOUT FURTHER AUTHORIZATION FROM YOU, UNTIL YOU PROVIDE PRIOR NOTICE (CONFIRMED
IN WRITING UPON REQUEST BY ROOMMATECLICK.COM) THAT YOU HAVE TERMINATED THIS AUTHORIZATION
OR WISH TO CHANGE YOUR PAYMENT METHOD. SUCH NOTICE WILL NOT AFFECT CHARGES SUBMITTED
BEFORE ROOMMATECLICK.COM REASONABLY COULD ACT. To cancel your recurring Membership,
please refer to Cancel Billing. Recurring Membership rates apply to credit/debit
card payments and Electronic Fund Transfer payments. All amounts are billed in U.S.
dollars at the beginning of each renewal period and will appear on your credit card
statement as Roommateclick.com or MoveOnIn Inc.
Cancel Billing. To cancel the upgrade of your One Day Trial to full Platinum Membership
(please see Subscribe for a description of the current Subscription plans) or to
cancel your recurring Membership at any time, please go to Edit Your Profile and
select Cancel Billing. If you cancel your upgrade or renewal, you will still enjoy
all your Membership benefits until the end of your paid term; your trial will not
be upgraded or your Membership will not be renewed after your term expires. Please
remember that by canceling your upgrade or renewal, you will not be eligible for
any refund of fees you have already paid for your current trial or Membership.
Current Information Required. YOU MUST PROVIDE CURRENT, COMPLETE AND ACCURATE INFORMATION
FOR YOUR BILLING ACCOUNT. YOU MUST PROMPTLY UPDATE ALL INFORMATION TO KEEP YOUR
BILLING ACCOUNT CURRENT, COMPLETE AND ACCURATE (SUCH AS A CHANGE IN BILLING ADDRESS,
CREDIT CARD NUMBER, OR CREDIT CARD EXPIRATION DATE), AND YOU MUST PROMPTLY NOTIFY
ROOMMATECLICK.COM IF YOUR PAYMENT METHOD IS CANCELED (E.G., FOR LOSS OR THEFT) OR
IF YOU BECOME AWARE OF A POTENTIAL BREACH OF SECURITY, SUCH AS THE UNAUTHORIZED
DISCLOSURE OR USE OF YOUR USER NAME OR PASSWORD. CHANGES TO SUCH INFORMATION CAN
BE MADE ON EDIT YOUR PROFILE PAGE. IF YOU FAIL TO PROVIDE ROOMMATECLICK.COM ANY
OF THE FOREGOING INFORMATION, YOU AGREE THAT ROOMMATECLICK.COM MAY CONTINUE CHARGING
YOU FOR ANY USE OF THE SERVICE UNDER YOUR BILLING ACCOUNT UNLESS YOU HAVE TERMINATED
YOUR SUBSCRIPTION FOR THE SERVICE (CONFIRMED BY YOU IN WRITING UPON REQUEST BY ROOMMATECLICK.COM).
Payment Method. The terms of your payment will be based on your Payment Method and
may be determined by agreements between you and the financial institution, credit
card issuer or other provider of your chosen Payment Method (the "Payment Method
Provider"). If RoommateClick.com does not receive payment from your Payment
Method Provider, you agree to pay all amounts due on your Billing Account upon demand.
Change in Amount Authorized. If the amount to be charged to your billing account
varies from the amount you preauthorized (other than due to the imposition or change
in the amount of state sales taxes), you have the right to receive, and RoommateClick.com
shall provide, notice of the amount to be charged and the date of the charge at
least 10 days before the scheduled date of the transaction. Any agreement you have
with your payment method provider will govern your use of your payment method. You
agree that RoommateClick.com may accumulate charges incurred and submit them as
one or more aggregate charges during or at the end of each billing cycle.
Reaffirmation of Authorization. Your non-termination or continued use of the service
reaffirms that RoommateClick.com is authorized to charge your payment method. RoommateClick.com
may submit those charges for payment and you will be responsible for such charges.
This does not waive RoommateClick.com's right to seek payment directly from you.
Your charges may be payable in advance, in arrears, per usage, or as otherwise described
when you initially Subscribed to the service.
