These Terms of Service (except the provisions relating to fees and renewal terms) apply to the use of Leadercast during a Trial.
3.2 Account Information. If you register as a Subscriber or Trial user of Leadercast, you will use a username and password that is unique to you.

Individual members are billed according to periodic terms outlined in the offer to which they subscribe (i.e., monthly, annually); Teams are billed exclusively on an annual basis. All billing occurs in advance of the period, or term of use, and members are responsible for payment on the invoiced date of service. The monthly or annual membership fee amount may change for a future term unless otherwise indicated in the offer to which one subscribes. Cancellation after the billing date will NOT result in a refund or credit, except as provided in section 3.3.3 Cancellation Terms below. Please note, if your Leadercast subscription is provided by or through a Third-Party Provider, some or all the above provisions relating herein to fees and renewal terms may not apply to you. Please contact your Third-Party Provider for details. Leadercast may cancel your subscription or Trial at any time, based on changes in status with the Third-Party Provider, by notifying you.
