You understand that use of the Services may result in charges to you for the services or goods you receive from a Third Party Provider (“Charges ”).

by you to the Third Party Provider. Charges will be inclusive of applicable taxes where required by law. Charges paid by you are final and non-refundable, unless otherwise determined by Quibbit.

If your primary Account payment method is determined to be expired, invalid or otherwise not able to be charged, you agree that Quibbit may, as the Third Party Provider’s limited payment collection agent, use a secondary
payment method in your Account, if available. As between you and Quibbit, Quibbit reserves the right to establish, remove and/or revise Charges for any or all services or goods obtained through the use of the
Services at any time in Quibbit’s sole discretion. Further, you acknowledge and agree that Charges applicable in certain geographical areas may increase substantially during times of high demand. Quibbit will use reasonable efforts to inform you of Charges that may apply, provided that you will be responsible for Charges incurred under your Account regardless of your awareness of such Charges or the amounts thereof. Quibbit may from time to time provide certain users with promotional offers and discounts that may result in different amounts charged for the
same or similar services or goods obtained through the use of the Services, and you agree that such promotional offers and discounts, unless also made available to you, shall have no bearing on your use of the Services or the Charges applied to you. You may elect to cancel your request for services or goods from a Third Party Provider at any time prior to such Third Party Provider’s arrival, in which case you may be charged a cancellation fee.
