The Client acknowledges and agrees that (i) failure to read, (ii) inability to receive, and/or (iii) the failure of Norebase to send the email does not create any liability on the part of Norebase or any third-party service provider for initiating automatic payments for subscribing to Norebase annual services.
Consequently, the Client hereby authorises Norebase to charge the card originally used for purchase on either a monthly or yearly basis for a Service as appropriate. You may elect to discontinue some or all of your paid services at any time by contacting support@norebase.com.
