5. ansrsource SUBSCRIPTION PLANS AND PAYMENT
-
Subscription Plan and Subscription Management
-
Plan Scope and Term: The ansrsource
business plan you purchase, register for, order, or
renew includes the features set forth on
https://www.granulearn.com/plans
or
https://www.ansrsourcegranulearn.com/pricing
(each, a "Plan") or, in the Company Partnership Plan
(see below). ansrsource grants you access to the
Platform for the term length set forth at the time of
purchase, either during online checkout or as
specified on a Sales Order (the “Initial Term”) in
strict accordance with these Terms. Any renewal of the
Initial Term (or a Renewal Term), whether such renewal
occurs by way of your automatic renewal, online
checkout, a renewal Sales Order, or otherwise, shall
be deemed a “Renewal Term”, and together with the
Initial Term, the “Term”, as applicable.
-
Registration of Individual Users:
Depending on your Plan, you may designate one or more of
your employees to act as plan manager(s) (each, a “Plan
Manager”). Any Plan Manager you authorize will have the
ability to view user data and content, purchase
additional subscriptions, invite users to utilize the
features included in your Plan, including assigning and
authorizing users via the Platform’s Plan administrative
functionalities. By purchasing a Plan, a specific number
of individuals may register as ansrsource users and
receive access to the Platform. Each user must be
designated and assigned by the business purchasing the
Plan or by such business’s designated Plan Manager,
after which each user will be invited to register for an
ansrsource account and receive access to the Platform.
Access to the Platform, including individual
subscriptions, is to be used for the internal purposes
of the business purchasing the Plan and may not be
shared. If your Plan requires it, or if you desire, we
can assign and authorize users to specific features
included in your Plan after your purchase so long as you
provide us with the first name, last name, and email
address of the individuals that will be entitled to
access the Platform. Contact your designated ansrsource
Sales Representative or sales@ansrsource.com for more
details.
-
Changing the Number of Users: As a Plan
holder, you or your Plan Manager may add additional
users during the Initial Term or any Renewal Term, as
applicable. Access to the Platform is conditioned upon
timely payment for each user added, which will be
prorated for the number of days remaining in your
then-current Term and paid by your Payment Method on
file (or invoiced). The number of individual users
permitted in your Plan may not be reduced during the
Term, nor will refunds be given for unused or unassigned
licenses.
-
Transfer of Access Not Permitted: You
acknowledge and agree that the user access is specific
to the individuals you designate. Except as set forth in
your Sales Order, access granted under these Terms are
not transferable to any other individual for any reason,
and you will take all commercially reasonable steps to
prevent your users from granting access to the Platform
to any other individuals, both in and outside of your
organization.
-
Automatic Renewal: Unless you terminate
your Plan in accordance with 12(b) below, or are
purchasing through a reseller, or as otherwise set forth
in your Sales Order, YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT AT
THE END OF EACH APPLICABLE TERM WE WILL AUTOMATICALLY
RENEW YOUR PLAN (INCLUDING ALL FEATURES ON YOUR PLAN AT
THAT TIME) FOR A PERIOD OF TWELVE (12) MONTHS AND
PROCESS YOUR PAYMENT METHOD OR INVOICE FOR PAYMENT FOR
THE RENEWAL TERM UP TO THIRTY DAYS PRIOR TO YOUR RENEWAL
DATE AT THE THEN-APPLICABLE PRICE FOR YOUR PLAN.
-
Payment: Access to the Platform is
expressly conditioned on timely payment of the
then-applicable fee(s) in advance for your Plan in the
amount set forth during online checkout or in a Sales Order,
unless you are accessing the Platform via a free pilot or
other no-fee arrangement. We reserve the right to increase
or decrease any fee at any time; however, to the extent you
have paid your fee(s) in advance, the increase or decrease
will not become effective for your Plan or service until the
end of your current Term.
-
Payment Method: By registering for,
subscribing to, or purchasing a Plan and providing
billing information, you grant us and our authorized
third-party payment processor(s) the right to process
payment using the debit card, credit card, bank
information, third-party payment provider, or reseller
you provide, authorize, or maintain on your account
(individually, and collectively, “Payment Method”).
-
Payment by Invoice: If you choose to be
invoiced during online checkout (or choose to have a
third-party payment provider or reseller be invoiced on
your behalf) rather than using your own Payment Method,
you will be billed upon execution of a Sales Order,
irrespective of the Plan start date, or, for online
checkout, as of or around the Plan start date set forth
during checkout. You hereby agree that payment is due as
of the date of any ansrsource invoice, payable within
thirty (30) days of said date.
-
Editing Your Payment Method: If using
online checkout, you may edit your payment method
information by visiting our website and clicking on the
“Account” link, available at the top of the pages of the
ansrsource website. If a payment is not successfully
settled, due to expiration, insufficient funds, or
otherwise, and you do not edit your payment method
information or have not provided proper notice of
cancellation of your account (see Cancellation Policy in
Section 12(b) below), you remain responsible for any
uncollected amounts and authorize us to continue billing
the payment method, as it may be updated. This may
result in a change to your payment billing dates. We may
update your payment method with information provided by
the applicable payment service provider, and you
authorize us to continue to charge the applicable fee to
the updated payment method. Check with your payment
method service provider for more details.
(1) When you provide or add any form of payment method
to your account, your bank may reserve the funds
necessary or place a small authorization hold until
the transaction processes or the authorization hold
expires, but this is not the actual charge. The
authorization will be removed from your account
according to the policies of your bank; and as such,
to remove an authorization, please contact your bank
to clarify how long they hold authorizations for
online orders.
(2) Depending on where you transact with us, the type
of payment method used, and where your payment method
was issued, your transaction with us may be subject to
foreign exchange fees or differences in prices because
of exchange rates and other ansrsource-provided
geographic-specific pricing. We do not support all
payment methods, currencies, or locations for payment.
-
Collection Methods: If your payment
method fails, or if your account is past due, we may
collect fees owed using other collection mechanisms—this
may include charging other payment methods on file with
us or retaining collection agencies and legal counsel,
the fees and cost of which you hereby agree to pay.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, your
obligation to pay fees continues through the end of your
applicable Term and regardless of whether you cancel
your Plan during such Term. Late payments will bear an
additional 1.5% interest monthly, plus taxes if
applicable, which additional interest will be compounded
daily.
-
Suspension Because of Nonpayment: If
payment is not received within the required time period,
or if we are unable to renew your Plan based on
inaccurate or outdated payment information, we may
suspend your access to the Platform (including all of
your users’ access) until payment is received. In the
event we suspend your Plan because of nonpayment and
reinstate access to the Platform after you have made
payment, no additional time will be added to the
then-applicable Term.
-
Chargebacks: If you file a chargeback
disputing charges made to Payment Method by ansrsource
and the chargeback is granted, your account will be
deactivated.
-
Excess Use: If you use the Platform or
services in violation of the scope granted hereunder,
including but not limited to unauthorized rotation of
user subscriptions within your Plan, or adding active
users in excess of those outlined in your Sales Order
(“Excess Use”), ansrsource may, in its sole discretion,
invoice you for the Excess Use, at the rates set forth
in the applicable Sales Order or, in the absence
thereof, our current list price for the features
included in your Plan for such Excess Use.
-
Taxes: Payment is exclusive of taxes.
You are responsible for any applicable sales, use,
value-added, or excise taxes, and any other similar
taxes, duties or charges of any kind, other than taxes
on ansrsource’s income, imposed by any federal, state,
or local governmental entity on any amounts payable by
you under these Terms of Use or any Sales Order whether
or not such taxes are collected by ansrsource. When
processing your Payment Method or invoicing, we may
include a separate charge for such taxes and will remit
taxes collected, if any, to the appropriate taxing
authority.
5.1 TEAM TRIAL / PILOT SUBSCRIPTION PLANS
Your Plan may begin with a free team trial (for businesses
that checkout online) (“Team Trial”) or a free or paid pilot
(for businesses that purchase through a sales-guided process)
(“Pilot”). The length of your Team Trial or Pilot will be set
out at sign-up. We reserve the right, in our absolute
discretion, to determine your eligibility for a Team Trial or
Pilot, including creating multiple free trial accounts, and to
withdraw or to modify your Team Trial or Pilot at any time
without prior notice and with no liability. As a Team Trial or
Pilot user, you acknowledge and agree that use and access to
the Platform is subject to these Terms.
-
Team Trial: A free Team Trial is
provisioned through an online checkout for a limited number
of users. You agree that access to the Platform during the
Team Trial is governed by these Terms. We automatically
convert your account into a paid Plan upon its expiration,
unless we provide notification of automatic conversion and
automatic renewal when you initiate your Team Trial. If your
Plan is not converted to a paid Plan, your users will lose
access to the Platform at the end of such Team Trial and
their progress will be deleted.
-
Pilot: A Pilot is provisioned through a
sales-guided checkout only, which may or may not include a
fee for the Pilot depending on the scope, features, and
number of users on your Pilot. You agree that you and your
users’ use of the Platform during the Pilot is governed by
these Terms. Unless otherwise set forth during checkout or a
Sales Order, at the end of your Pilot we will not
automatically convert your account into a paid Plan.
However, at the end of your Pilot, in order to continue
using and accessing the Platform, you must convert your
Pilot into a paid Plan and pay the applicable fee.
5.2 COMPANY PARTNERSHIP PLAN
Your Plan may start with a trial, limited, or complete access
to our Platform (“Company Partnership Plan”) facilitated
through a company or community partnership between a
third-party entity and ansrsource (each, a “Company Partner”).
The scope and features of the Platform available to you, the
length of your Company Partnership Plan, and the fee (if
applicable, and whether paid by you or the Company Partner)
will be set out during checkout—most often through a specific
URL dedicated to the Company Partnership Plan or set forth in
your Sales Order. Together with our Company Partner, we
reserve the right, in our absolute discretion, to determine
your eligibility for a Company Partnership Plan, and to
withdraw or to modify your Company Partnership Plan at any
time without prior notice and with no liability. As a Company
Partnership Plan user, you acknowledge and agree that your use
of and access to the Platform is subject to (i) these Terms,
and (ii) any other terms and conditions mandated by the
applicable Company Partner as set forth as set forth in your
agreement with the Company Partner.

-
ansrsource’s Rights of Termination: You
agree that we may suspend or deactivate your account or
terminate your Plan if we believe that you have (a) breached
these Terms; (b) infringed the intellectual property rights
of a third party; (c) posted, uploaded, or transmitted
unauthorized User Content; or (d) violated or acted
inconsistently with these Terms, our Privacy Policy, or any
other applicable policies. You agree that any such
suspension, deactivation or termination for the foregoing
reasons may be effected without prior notice to you and that
ansrsource will not be liable to you or any third party for
any deactivation of your account or termination of your
Plan.
-
Customer’s Rights of Termination:
-
For Cause: Either the business that
purchased the Plan or ansrsource may terminate the Plan
or any Sales Order prior to its expiration if the other
party breaches these Terms and fails to cure said breach
within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice
thereof. Except for instances arising from ansrsource’s
uncured breach, all fees or charges related to your Plan
are non-refundable and all unpaid fees are due and
payable immediately upon termination.
-
For Convenience: Unless otherwise
specifically stated in terms specific to other products
or Plans you purchase, a Plan may be terminated for
convenience by sending written notice to ansrsource at
least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the
then-current Term; however, in the event of any
termination for convenience all fees paid are completely
non-refundable and any fees unpaid at the time of such
termination for convenience shall remain due and
payable. For avoidance of doubt, in the event that the
Sales Order is for a multiple year Term, any termination
under this section will only be permitted at the end of
that Term. With respect to any Term still in effect as
of the date of such termination for convenience, and
upon your request, your Plan will remain active to the
end of your then-current Term to the extent your fee(s)
have been paid; provided that these Terms will continue
in effect and govern such Term until its expiration or
earlier termination for cause. All termination requests
made pursuant to this Section 12(b)(ii) must be emailed
to manage-subscriptions@ansrsource.com no later than
thirty (30) days in advance of the then-current Term.

if you cancel your Plan or delete your account prior to
the end of your Term.

action that is binding on the other party, except as
provided for herein or authorized in writing by the party to

conditions contained therein or elsewhere. The terms on any
such purchase order or similar document submitted by you to

enforcement or breach of such terms, then the party
prevailing in such dispute, whether by out-of-court
settlement or final judicial determination, will be entitled
to recover from the non-prevailing party all costs and
expenses of such dispute incurred by such prevailing party,

CONDITIONED UPON YOUR ASSENT TO ALL OF THE TERMS AND
CONDITIONS OF THESE TERMS.

5. ansrsource SUBSCRIPTION PLANS AND PAYMENT
-
Subscription Plan and Subscription Management
-
Plan Scope and Term: The ansrsource
individual subscription plan you purchase, register
for, order, or renew includes the features set forth
on http://www.ansrsource.com/plans (e.g., Personal,
Premium) (each, a “Plan”). ansrsource grants you, and
you alone, access to the Platform for the subscription
term length set forth at the time of redemption or
purchase during online checkout (the “Initial Term”)
in strict accordance with these Terms. If you purchase
a monthly plan, your Initial Term is one month from
the date of purchase, whereas the purchase of an
annual plan results in a one-year Initial Term. Any
renewal of the Initial Term (or a Renewal Term),
whether such renewal occurs by way of your automatic
renewal or online checkout, or otherwise, shall be
deemed a “Renewal Term”, and together with the Initial
Term, the “Term”, as applicable.
-
Automatic Renewal: YOU UNDERSTAND AND
AGREE THAT, AT THE END OF EACH APPLICABLE TERM, WE WILL
AUTOMATICALLY RENEW YOUR PLAN (INCLUDING ALL
SUBSCRIPTIONS ON YOUR PLAN AT THAT TIME) FOR A PERIOD
EQUAL TO THE INITIAL TERM AND PROCESS YOUR PAYMENT
METHOD OR INVOICE FOR PAYMENT FOR THE RENEWAL TERM UP TO
THIRTY DAYS PRIOR TO YOUR RENEWAL DATE AT THE
THEN-APPLICABLE PRICE FOR YOUR PLAN.
-
Payment: Access to the Platform is
expressly conditioned on timely payment of the
then-applicable fee for the Plan in the amount and on the
billing frequency set forth during online checkout. Your use
of and access to the Platform is expressly conditioned upon
timely payment of the applicable fee(s) associated with your
Plan and governed by these Terms. We reserve the right to
increase or decrease any fee at any time; however, to the
extent you have paid your fee(s) in advance, the increase or
decrease will not become effective for your subscription
Plan or service until the end of your current Term.
-
Payment Method: By registering for,
subscribing to, or purchasing a Plan and providing
billing information, you grant us and our authorized
third-party payment processor(s) the right to process
payment using the debit card, credit card, bank
information, third-party payment provider you provide,
authorize, or maintain on your account (individually,
and collectively, “Payment Method”).
-
Editing Your Payment Method: You may
edit your payment method information by visiting our
website and clicking on the “Account” link, available at
the top of the pages of the ansrsource website. If a
payment is not successfully settled, due to expiration,
insufficient funds, or otherwise, and you do not edit
your payment method information or cancel your account
(see Cancellation Policy in Section 11(b) below), you
remain responsible for any uncollected amounts and
authorize us to continue billing the payment method, as
it may be updated. This may result in a change to your
payment billing dates. We may update your payment method
with information provided by the applicable payment
service provider, and you authorize us to continue to
charge the applicable fee to the updated payment method.
Check with your payment method service provider for more
details.
(1) When you provide or add any form of payment method
your account, your bank may reserve the funds
necessary or place a small authorization hold until
the transaction processes or the authorization hold
expires, but this is not the actual charge. The
authorization will be removed from your account
according to the policies of your bank; and as such,
to remove an authorization, please contact your bank
to clarify how long they hold authorizations for
online orders.
(2) Depending on where you transact with us, the type
of payment method used, and where your payment method
was issued, your transaction with us may be subject to
foreign exchange fees or differences in prices because
of exchange rates and other ansrsource-provided
geographic-specific pricing. We do not support all
payment methods, currencies, or locations for payment.
-
Collection Methods: If your payment
method fails, or if your account is past due, we may
collect fees owed using other collection mechanisms—this
may include charging other payment methods on file with
us or retaining collection agencies and legal counsel,
the fees and cost of which you hereby agree to pay.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, your
obligation to pay fees continues through the end of your
applicable Term and regardless of whether you cancel
your Plan during such Term. Late payments will bear an
additional 1.5% interest monthly, plus taxes if
applicable, which additional interest will be compounded
daily.
-
Chargebacks: If you file a chargeback
disputing charges made to Payment Method by ansrsource
and the chargeback is granted, your account will be
deactivated.
-
Excess Use: If you use the Platform or
services in violation of the scope granted hereunder,
including but not limited to unauthorized rotation of
your subscription to others (“Excess Use”), ansrsource
may, in its sole discretion, invoice you for the Excess
Use, at our current list price for subscriptions and/or
services for such Excess Use.
-
Taxes: Payment is exclusive of taxes.
You are responsible for any applicable sales, use,
value-added, or excise taxes, and any other similar
taxes, duties or charges of any kind, other than taxes
on ansrsource’s income, imposed by any federal, state,
or local governmental entity on any amounts payable by
you under these Terms of Use or any Sales Order whether
or not such taxes are collected by ansrsource. When
processing your payment method or invoicing, we may
include a separate charge for such taxes and will remit
taxes collected, if any, to the appropriate taxing
authority.
5.1 FREE TRIAL
Your subscription may begin with a free trial. Your length of
your free trial will be set out during online checkout. We
reserve the right, in our absolute discretion, to determine
your eligibility for a free trial, including creating multiple
free trial accounts, and to withdraw or to modify your free
trial at any time without prior notice and without liability.
As a free trial user, you acknowledge and agree that your use
and access to the Platform is subject to these Terms of Use.
You agree to provide your Payment Method during online
checkout before beginning your free trial. We will not process
your Payment Method for payment of your fee during your free
trial though you may see an authorization on your Payment
Method--see Section 5. On the last day of your free trial, we
will convert your free trial into a paid Plan and process your
Payment Method for the applicable fee on the billing frequency
chosen during online checkout. From that date on, the
automatic renewal provisions set forth in Section 5(a)(ii)
will also apply. By providing your Payment Method in
conjunction with registration for a free trial, you agree to
these charges and billing practices. If you do not wish to be
charged, you must cancel before the end of your free trial.
Upon cancellation of your free trial, your access to the
Platform will terminate immediately.
