Terms and Conditions

The School of Thought Mechanics – Terms & Conditions

These Payment Terms (the “Payment Terms”) set forth an agreement between you and THOUGHT MECHANICS, with respect to the subscription services and other paid services made available by THOUGHT MECHANICS. THOUGHT MECHANICS’s website is located at thoughtmechanics.org (the “Site”). We collectively refer to the Site, the services, features, content and software applications as the “Services.” These Payment Terms supplement the Terms and Conditions governing your use of the THOUGHT MECHANICS Services (the “Terms and Conditions”), which are incorporated here by reference. Any capitalized terms used in these Payment Terms and not defined here will have the meanings set forth in the Terms and Conditions. You may only open a THOUGHT MECHANICS account and/or use the Services if your acceptance of these Payment Terms is not prohibited by applicable law. If you do not agree to these Payment Terms, you may not subscribe to the Services or otherwise obtain paid services (including access to the video library) made available by THOUGHT MECHANICS. By using any part of the Services, or by creating a user account, you signify your acceptance of these Payment Terms. You should review these Payment Terms each time you subscribe for, order and/or purchase any subscription or other paid services offered by THOUGHT MECHANICS. If we make amendments to these Payment Terms, we will post a notice on the Services. You will be deemed to have accepted these Payment Terms, as amended, if you continue to use the Services after said notice has been posted.

Paid services

Certain of our Services (including access to our video library) may be subject to payments now or in the future (the “Paid Services”). Please note that any payment terms presented to you by us in the process of using or signing up for THOUGHT MECHANICS Paid Services are deemed part of this Agreement. You agree to pay for and authorize us to charge your payment method for the cost of Paid Services, including applicable taxes and fees.

Reaffirmation of authorization

Your non-termination or continued use of a Paid Service reaffirms that we are authorized to charge your Payment Method (defined below) the applicable subscription price, if any, for that Paid Service. We may submit those charges for payment and you will be responsible for such charges. This does not waive our right to receive payment directly from you. Your charges may be payable in advance, in arrears, per usage, or as otherwise described when you initially selected to use the Paid Service.

Your account

Payment methods

THOUGHT MECHANICS accepts various forms of payment, as set forth on the THOUGHT MECHANICS Site from time to time. The terms of your payment will be based on your Payment Method and may be determined by agreements between you and the financial institution, credit card issuer or other provider of your chosen Payment Method. By subscribing to THOUGHT MECHANICS or submitting an order for other paid services offered through the Services, you authorize THOUGHT MECHANICS, or its designated payment processor, to charge the account you specify for the purchase amount. If we, through the Payment Processor, do not receive payment from you, you agree to pay all amounts due on your Billing Account upon demand. All payments are to be made in the currency designated by us.

Billing

We use a third-party payment processor (“Stripe” or "PayPal") to bill the payment method you provide (your “Billing Account”) for use of the Paid Services . The processing of payments will be subject to the terms, conditions and privacy policies of the Payment Processor in addition to this Agreement. We are not responsible for any error by the Payment Processor. By choosing to use Paid Services, you agree to pay us, through the Payment Processor, all charges at the prices then in effect for any use of such Paid Services in accordance with the applicable payment terms and you authorize us, through the Payment Processor, to charge your chosen payment provider (your “Payment Method”). You agree to make payment using that selected Payment Method. We reserve the right to correct any errors or mistakes that it makes even if it has already requested or received payment.

Recurring billing

If you enroll for subscription-based Paid Services, you authorize THOUGHT MECHANICS or its payment processor to charge the applicable recurring subscription fee of $105.00 to your designated billing payment method. When you initially subscribe to such Paid Services, you will be charged immediately for the initial period of the subscription at the then-current fee. Some of the Paid Services may consist of an initial period, for which there is a one- time charge, followed by recurring periodic charges as specified on the Services. By choosing a recurring payment plan, you acknowledge that such Services have an initial and recurring payment feature and you accept responsibility for all recurring charges prior to cancellation.

WE MAY SUBMIT PERIODIC CHARGES FOR SUBSCRIPTION- BASED PAID SERVICES (E.G., MONTHLY FEES) WITHOUT OBTAINING ANY FURTHER AUTHORIZATION FROM YOU, UNTIL YOU PROVIDE PRIOR NOTICE (RECEIPT OF WHICH IS CONFIRMED BY US) THAT YOU HAVE TERMINATED THIS AUTHORIZATION OR WISH TO CHANGE YOUR PAYMENT METHOD.
