6. Fees, Payment Method and Processing.
To the extent applicable, Subscriber agrees to pay all fees stated in the Subscription Form (“Fees”), and in accordance with the Service’s applicable billing cycle (“Billing Cycle”) and other payment terms.
Unless expressly stated otherwise in the Subscription Form:
(a) all Fees are stated, and are to be paid, in US Dollars in accordance with Section Payment Method and Processing below;
(b) all Fees are payable in advance;
(c) all payments under this Agreement are non-refundable, and are without any right of set-off or cancellation; and
(d) any amount not paid when due will accrue interest on a daily basis until paid in full, at the lesser of the rate of one and a half percent (1.5%) per month and the highest amount permitted by applicable Law.
Amounts payable under this Agreement are exclusive of all applicable sales, use, consumption, VAT, GST, and other taxes, duties or governmental charges, except for taxes based upon Genio’s net income. In the event that Subscriber is required by any Law applicable to it to withhold or deduct taxes for any payment under this Agreement, then the amounts due to Genio shall be increased by the amount necessary so that Genio receives and retains, free from liability for any deduction or withholding, an amount equal to the amount it would have received had Subscriber not made any such withholding or deduction.
Payment Method and Processing.
Currently, Genio only accepts payments via Stripe (https://stripe.com).
Subscriber shall provide Genio accurate and complete billing information, and agrees to promptly notify Genio of any changes to the Subscriber’s billing information. Subscriber authorizes Genio (either directly or through third parties) to request and collect payment (and otherwise charge, refund or take any other billing actions) from Subscriber on a recurring basis, including without limitation via Genio’s payment provider, and to make any inquiries Genio deems necessary to validate Subscriber’s designated payment account or financial information, in order to ensure prompt payment. Payment of Fees may be processed through a third party payment providing service (which will receive and process Subscriber’s billing information), and additional terms may apply to such payments.
7. Secure payment
The payment for the Services is done exclusively by the means of payment made available on the Website.
The selected payment method is debited upon receipt of the order and subject to the prior authorization of the competent payment service provider. In the absence of authorization, the order will not be processed.
The payment solutions available on this Website are managed by our partners, who provide a secure acquisition of payments over the Internet.

8. Security
We have implemented technical and organizational measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental destruction, loss, alteration and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, or disclosure. However, we cannot guarantee that unauthorized third parties will never be able to defeat those measures or use your personal information for improper purposes.

You will immediately notify us of any unauthorized use of your password or Genio Account or any other breach of security. You will immediately take all reasonable steps to mitigate the effects of a security breach and will cooperate with Genio and provide all information requested by Genio to remediate the breach. Any assistance provided by Genio in relation to a security breach does not in any way operate as acceptance or acknowledgement that Genio is in any way responsible or liable to you or any other party in connection with such breach.
In the event of any dispute between two or more parties as to account ownership, we will be the sole arbiter of such dispute in our sole discretion. Our decision (which may include termination or suspension of any Genio Account subject to dispute) will be final and binding on all parties.
