8.2 VAT. [Confirm VAT status. If not VAT registered:] Company is not currently registered for value added tax (“VAT”) and no VAT is charged on the Fees. If Company becomes registered for VAT, VAT shall be payable in addition to the Fees at the applicable rate, and Company shall give Customer at least 30 days’ notice before VAT is first charged.

If Customer initiates a chargeback in respect of Services delivered without first contacting Company, Company may provide evidence of Customer’s acceptance of these Terms of Service and use of the Services to the card issuer, suspend the Services pending resolution, and recover the disputed amount together with its reasonable costs where the dispute is resolved in Company’s favour.
8.7 Promotions. Any promotional offer or discount shall state its content and duration. On expiry of a promotion the standard Fees shall apply, and Company shall notify Customer at least 30 days beforehand. A promotion does not otherwise amend these Terms of Service.
9. 30-DAY MONEY-BACK GUARANTEE
9.1 Guarantee. If Customer is dissatisfied with the Services for any reason, Customer may request a refund within 30 days of the Effective Date, and Company shall refund all Fees paid by Customer. Customer is not required to give a reason for the request (the “Money-Back Guarantee”).
