11. Special Provisions for Consumer Members[1] of The Prevention Plan:
A. Fees and Payments. Use of this website, the USPM services and The Prevention Plan™ are available to subscribers who have paid for the right to use these services. Access to the website, the USPM services and to The Prevention Plan™ is limited to those subscribers whose accounts are in good standing. A subscriber’s account may be suspended by USPM for non-payment at anytime, without Notice to the subscriber. You agree to pay the subscription fees and any other charges incurred in connection with your subscription to the Prevention Plan™ and the USPM services at the rates in effect when the charges were incurred. If your subscription includes access to areas containing premium content or services, your access to such areas may be subject to additional fees, terms and conditions, which will be separately disclosed in such areas. We will bill all charges automatically to your credit card. Subscription fees will be billed at the beginning of your subscription or any renewal. Unless we state in writing otherwise (see the USPM “Cancellation Policy”), all fees and charges are nonrefundable. We may change the fees and charges then in effect, or add new fees or charges, by giving you notice in advance. If you want to use a different credit card or there is a change in credit card validity or expiration date, or if you believe someone has accessed a Service using your user name and password without your authorization, you must follow the procedures outlined in the Help section. You are responsible for any fees or charges incurred to access a Service through an Internet access provider or other third-party service.
B. Renewal. Your annual subscription will renew automatically, unless we terminate it or you cancel your subscription to The Prevention Plan™ according to the terms of our Cancellation Policy in section 12. You must cancel your subscription before it renews to avoid a cancellation charge and/or subscription fees for the renewal term to your credit card.
C. Cancellation Policy.
1. INITIAL ENROLLMENT OR PARTICIPATION: You may cancel at anytime within the first three (3) days of the initial purchase. ALL SALES ARE FINAL THREE DAYS AFTER PURCHASE. Any cancellation beyond that period will result in the purchaser being charged for the entire program for the initial year. Upon cancellation, your credit card will be billed for the balance of the program’s initial year charge, less any amounts previously paid on the initial enrollment or participation[2].
2. RENEWAL: Your membership will be automatically renewed at the end of your annual payment plan and converted to a monthly payment plan. You will be billed for the first two months at the prevailing rate and monthly thereafter so you may continue to receive the many benefits from The Prevention Plan. You may cancel at the end of the initial participation period without any additional charges incurred. If you cancel your membership on any date after the first day of your monthly renewal billing cycle (your monthly billing cycle will begin on the first day of your renewal term, which is the first day following the anniversary of your initial enrollment, and on the same day of each month thereafter), you will be charged for the entire month. In addition, if you cancel after your renewal date, and if lab work has been initiated, you will be charged the monthly fee for the current billing cycle and a one-time cancellation fee of $75. If renewal lab work HAS NOT been initiated, and cancellation occurs after the 1st day of your monthly billing cycle, you will be charged only the monthly fee for current billing cycle. To cancel, you must provide U.S. Preventive Medicine with verbal and written Notice of Cancellation within those three business days by doing one of the following:
Call a Member Care representative at 866-713-1180 as well as send an e-mail to: MemberCare@thepreventionplan.com
