Meaningful Speech Premium Subscriptions and Billing

While it is our mission to provide users with as many viewing choices as possible, sometimes this involves giving users the choice of paying a fee in order to view Content that Meaningful Speech LLC would not otherwise be able to make available without charging a fee. As part of that, access to the Content in Meaningful Speech Premium requires payment by you of a subscription fee.

You can find the specific details regarding your subscription to Meaningful Speech Premium at any time by logging into Your Account on meaningfulspeech.com. You agree that your Meaningful Speech Premium account is for individual use only and your Meaningful Speech Premium account is limited to only one simultaneous stream at a time. Additionally, you agree that for various reasons, such as restrictions from content licensors and other limitations or considerations from third parties, certain Content that may be accessible through one Property may not be accessible through other Properties.

Because the Meaningful Speech Service is offered in multiple time zones, for consistency, a “day” for purposes of these Terms of Use begins at 12:00 a.m. Central Standard Time and ends at 11:59 p.m. Central Standard Time of that same calendar day.

Billing

Meaningful Speech LLC may provide a variety of payment options for Meaningful Speech Premium subscriptions, including one-time fees and/or renewal subscriptions. Current offerings may be found by visiting meaningfulspeech.com. By signing up for your Meaningful Speech Premium subscription, you are expressly agreeing that Meaningful Speech LLC is authorized to charge you one-time or a periodic subscription fee, any other fees for additional services you may purchase, and any applicable taxes in connection with your use of Meaningful Speech Premium to the credit card or other payment method accepted by Meaningful Speech LLC (“Payment Method”) that you provided during registration. If you want to use a different Payment Method than the one you signed up for during registration, or if there is a change in your credit card validity or expiration date, you may edit your Payment Method information by clicking on Your Account. If your Payment Method expires and you do not revise your Payment Method information or cancel Your Account, you authorize Meaningful Speech LLC to continue billing, and you will remain responsible for any uncollected amounts.

As used in these Terms of Use, “Billing” shall indicate either a charge or debit, as applicable, against your Payment Method. The subscription fee will be billed according to the terms offered at the time you choose to begin your Meaningful Speech Premium service. If your service includes periodic payments, you will be billed at the beginning of your subscription or expiration of your free trial period, if any, whichever is earlier, and on each renewal thereafter unless and until you cancel your subscription, or the account, or service is otherwise suspended or discontinued pursuant to these Terms of Use. To see the commencement date for your next renewal period, if any, go to the billing information section on Your Account page.

If renewal payments are required by your service, Meaningful Speech LLC may automatically bills your Payment Method each month on the calendar day corresponding to the commencement of your subscription. However, if you change your Payment Method, this could result in changing the calendar day on which you are billed. In the event your subscription began on a day not contained in a given month, Meaningful Speech LLC bills your Payment Method on the last day of such month. For example, if you became a paying subscriber on January 31, your Payment Method would next be billed on February 28. You acknowledge that the amount billed each month may vary due to promotional offers, changes in your subscription plan, and changes in applicable taxes, and you authorize Meaningful Speech LLC to charge your Payment Method for the corresponding amounts. If Meaningful Speech LLC changes the subscription fee or other charges for Meaningful Speech Premium from time to time, Meaningful Speech LLC will give you advance notice of these changes by e-mail, or messaging though whatever method you have used to access the Meaningful Speech Services. However, Meaningful Speech LLC will not be able to notify you of changes in any applicable taxes.

All fees and charges are nonrefundable except in connection with your early cancellation of the account as further described in “Refund Policy” below. Very rarely, if there are special circumstances in which Meaningful Speech LLC determines it is appropriate (e.g., the Meaningful Speech Premium service is unavailable for days due to technical difficulties), Meaningful Speech LLC may provide credits to affected subscribers. The amount and form of such credits, and the decision to provide them, are at Meaningful Speech LLC’s sole and absolute discretion, and the provision of credits in one instance does not entitle anyone to credits in the future under similar or different circumstances.

Accordingly, Meaningful Speech LLC reserves the right to pursue any amounts you fail to pay in connection with Meaningful Speech Premium.

ARBITRATION OF CLAIMS

PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY
Meaningful Speech LLC WANTS YOU TO KNOW IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS.

Meaningful Speech LLC expects that our world-class customer service team will be able to resolve most issues you may have using the Meaningful Speech Services. In the unlikely event that Meaningful Speech LLC does not meet your satisfaction, Meaningful Speech LLC prefers to specify now what you and Meaningful Speech LLC should expect in order to avoid any confusion later. Accordingly, you and Meaningful Speech LLC agree to the following resolution process.

Any claim that you might have against Meaningful Speech LLC regarding these Terms of Use, the Meaningful Speech Services, or the Properties must be resolved through binding arbitration before the American Arbitration Association using its Commercial Arbitration Rules. It is important to Meaningful Speech LLC that Meaningful Speech LLC addresses any issues you might have promptly. To help Meaningful Speech LLC do that, you agree to begin any arbitration within one year after your claim arose; otherwise, your claim is waived.

Because Meaningful Speech LLC prefers to resolve our issues with you directly, you agree to arbitrate with Meaningful Speech LLC only in your individual capacity, not as a representative or member of a class. As such, your claims may not be joined with any other claims and there shall be no authority for any dispute to be arbitrated on a class action basis or brought by a purported class representative.

Rather than force everyone to visit Meaningful Speech LLC in Illinois, if you can demonstrate that arbitration in Illinois would create an undue burden to you, you are free to initiate the arbitration in your home state. Otherwise, the arbitration hearings will be held in the County of DuPage, Illinois.

The arbitrator’s decision will be binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. Regardless of how the arbitrator rules, each party is responsible for its own attorneys’ fees and costs.

 Since Meaningful Speech LLC always prefers to find ways to satisfy you as quickly and efficiently as possible, before initiating any arbitration proceeding, you agree to first discuss the matter informally with Meaningful Speech LLC for at least 30 days. To do that, please send your full name and contact information, your concern, and your proposed solution by mail to Meaningful Speech LLC at: 825 N. Cass Ave Suite 109, Westmont IL 60559.
