6.  PAYMENT AND SUBSCRIPTION TERMS

(a) Subscriptions: The Service may include different Content (defined below) offerings and features (for example, basic or premium offerings and add-ons), with different benefits, conditions, and limitations. Your level of access to the Service, including with respect to offerings and features is determined by the subscription package you purchase. You can find the specific details regarding your subscription at any time by logging in to our website at www.tsn.ca and viewing your account details. We reserve the right to change the offerings, features and Content of your subscription, from time to time in accordance with these Terms and Conditions. Further, we may change the offerings and features available at any time. 

(b) Recurring Billing and Renewals: By completing your registration for the Service, you authorize us to charge you a subscription fee plus applicable taxes ("Subscription Fees") on a recurring basis and in accordance with the offering you select. Unless otherwise selected by you at the time of your registration and subject to any Promotion, the Subscription Fees will be charged to you monthly. AS MAY BE DESCRIBED IN FURTHER DETAIL IN RESPECT OF THE OFFERING YOU SELECT, AND UNLESS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN RESPECT OF THAT OFFERING, THE SUBSCRIPTION FEES WILL BE CHARGED TO YOU AT THE THEN CURRENT RATE EITHER: (I) IMMEDIATELY UPON COMMENCEMENT OF THE SERVICE; OR (II) IF THE SERVICE, OR A PORTION THEREOF, IS OFFERED WITHOUT CHARGE FOR A SET PERIOD, WITH AN INITIAL TIME PERIOD INCLUDED, OR ON A REDUCED FEE BASIS FOR AN INITIAL PERIOD, AUTOMATICALLY FOLLOWING THE END OF SUCH PERIOD UNLESS YOU CANCEL PRIOR TO THE END OF THE APPLICABLE PERIOD. FOR EXAMPLE, UNLESS THE OFFERING DESCRIPTION PROVIDES OTHERWISE, FOR MONTHLY PLANS, THE INITIAL MONTHLY SUBSCRIPTION FEE WILL BE PAYABLE IMMEDIATELY UPON COMMENCEMENT OF THE SERVICE, AND YOU WILL BE CHARGED THE MONTHLY SUBSCRIPTION FEES EACH MONTH OF THE TERM OF YOUR SUBSCRIPTION THEREAFTER.

WE WILL PROVIDE YOU WITH NOTICE THAT YOUR PROMOTION IS ENDING AND THAT PAYMENT FOR YOUR SUBSCRIPTION IS COMING DUE. IF YOU WISH TO AVOID SUCH CHARGES, YOU MUST CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION PRIOR TO THE END OF THE APPLICABLE PROMOTION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF SUCH PROMOTION. You acknowledge that the recurring amount billed may vary for reasons that may include differing amounts due to applicable Promotions.

Subscriptions purchased on a monthly basis are billed each month until you cancel your subscription in accordance with Section 26. If you have purchased a subscription for a fixed number of months (for example 6 months), for users who are not resident in Quebec, your subscription will automatically renew for a new subscription term (for example, a second 6 month term) unless you cancel your subscription before the end of your current subscription term. If you are a resident of Quebec, and if you have purchased a subscription for a fixed number of months (for example 6 months) your subscription will automatically renew for an indefinite period, billed monthly, (i.e. it will become a month to month subscription) unless you cancel your subscription before the end of your current subscription term, or inform us that you would like to renew for an additional fixed term subscription. In either case, we will provide you with notice of the renewal. If you cancel your subscription rather than renew, cancellation will take place as described in Sections 6(c) and 26. Your failure to cancel your subscription during the current term will result in the renewal of your subscription in accordance with these Terms and Conditions.

Please note that the foregoing recurring billing and renewal provisions do not apply to any subscriptions that do not automatically renew. For such subscriptions, the Subscription Fees will be charged on a one-time basis at the time of purchase and the offering will automatically expire at the end of the prescribed subscription term.

In all cases, the applicable taxes will depend upon your location. If your credit card payment is declined, you acknowledge that you will no longer be able to access and use the Service. Unless otherwise indicated, all dollar amounts on the website and payments hereunder are in Canadian dollars.

(c) No Refunds: All Subscription Fees are non-refundable. We will not provide refunds or credits for any partial subscription periods or unwatched Content. If you cancel your subscription to the Service in accordance with Section 26, you will not be refunded or credited any portion of your last paid Subscription Fee (plus applicable taxes). Following any cancellation, however, you will continue to have access to the Service through the end of your current billing period, at which point your subscription will terminate.

(d) Authorized Distributors: Without limiting Section 5, if you registered for the Service through an Authorized Distributor, please consult with such Authorized Distributor for the terms and conditions applicable to your subscription, including your subscription fee, payment terms, and the availability of credits or refunds.
