Any additional products such as Website creation & SEO or any other products you may purchase from ZING will be paid separately to your subscription fee.
2.2 Subscription fees to ZING will be taken automatically through our Payment Gateway provider monthly. There is no requirement to renew your subscription as this will keep rolling on a month-by-month basis until the subscription is cancelled giving 3 full months’ notice by you to ZING through your Primary Email Address. You must keep a valid payment method on file with us to pay for all incurred and recurring Fees. ZING will charge applicable Fees to any valid payment method that you authorize (“Authorized Payment Method”), and ZING will continue to charge the Authorized Payment Method for applicable Fees until the Services are terminated, and any and all outstanding Fees have been paid in full. Unless otherwise indicated, all Fees and other charges are in euros, and all payments will be in euro currency.

If you are exempt from payment of such Taxes, you must provide us with evidence of your exemption, which in some jurisdictions includes an original certificate that satisfies applicable legal requirements attesting to tax-exempt status.
