1. Introduction.

Paid Subscriptions, as defined in the Hype Terms and Conditions of Use ("Terms of Use"), are made available by Hype subject to the Terms of Use, which are hereby incorporated by reference, including its Arbitration Agreement.

By purchasing a Paid Subscription, you acknowledge and agree to these Paid Subscription Terms, including the Terms of Use and User Guidelines. Capitalised terms used but not defined herein shall have the same meaning given to them in the Terms of Use. If you purchase a Paid Subscription directly through Hype, we will use your payment details and any other information in accordance with our Privacy Policy. If you purchase a Paid Subscription or begin a Trial (as defined below) through a third party, you will transact directly with that third party, and your purchase and/or Trial will also be subject to that third party's terms and conditions. If you purchase a Paid subscription using a gift card, please see the Gift Card Terms and Conditions.

These Paid Subscription Terms, the Terms of Use and the Privacy Policy along with any other terms referenced in this document should be read carefully. To the extent these Terms conflict with the Terms of Use or Privacy Policy, these Terms shall take precedence to the extent of such conflict.


2. Paid Subscriptions.

You can find descriptions of each Paid Subscription and their features on our website, and we will explain which options are available to you when you create a Hype account. Subject to these Paid Subscription Terms, users who purchase a Paid Subscription may access that Paid Subscription for their own personal use (and for their household members, where applicable) from the moment they submit their payment details successfully to Hype, or applicable third party, and complete the checkout process.

Paid Subscriptions include, amongst others, subscriptions under the Hype Premium brand ("Premium"), such as Hype Premium Individual ("Premium Individual"), Hype Premium Student ("Premium Student"), Hype Premium Family ("Premium Family"), Hype Premium Duo ("Premium Duo") and any other Premium offerings made available from time-to-time (each a "Premium Plan").

From time to time, we may also offer special promotional plans, content or memberships, including offerings of third party products or services in conjunction with or through the Hype Service. We are not responsible for the products or services provided by such third parties.

We reserve the right to modify the features and content we provide as part of our Paid Subscriptions from time to time and for any reason.

We may withdraw or suspend a Paid Subscription, in whole or in part, at any time and for any reason. After such time, Hype shall not be obligated to maintain or permit any further access to such Paid Subscription(s) and subscribers to that Paid Subscription will no longer be charged.

Certain Paid Subscriptions may have specific eligibility requirements which you must adhere to in order to be a subscriber. Paid Subscriptions may not be available to all users including, for example, past subscribers who wish to rejoin having cancelled their subscription or after it is discontinued by Hype.

Unless otherwise indicated (for example, if you have signed up for a Prepaid Period (as defined in the Terms of Use)), Paid Subscriptions continue indefinitely until cancelled. You will be billed on a recurring basis on the first day of each billing period and you will pay and you authorise us (or the applicable third party, if you sign up through a third party) to charge your payment method the then-current subscription fee.

You may cancel your Paid Subscription at any time by logging into your Hype account and following the prompts on the Account page and following the instructions. Unless otherwise indicated, cancellation will take effect from the end of the billing period in which you cancel.

Your ability to continue to access the Paid Subscription after cancellation during a Trial Period will depend if your trial is a zero-priced trial or involves any cost to you. **


4. Free and discounted trials

From time to time, we or others on our behalf, may offer trials of Paid Subscriptions for a specified period without payment or at a reduced rate (each a "Trial"). Each Trial is made available in connection with a particular Paid Subscription and, in each case, this section on Trials supplements and incorporates by reference the additional terms and conditions for that corresponding Paid Subscription. In case of any conflict with the additional terms and conditions for a Paid Subscription, then this section 4 shall take precedence. Each Trial is made available subject to how it is advertised, and subject to the rules on eligibility, availability, and duration and cancellation set out below. Unless otherwise advertised, Trials do not permit or provide access to any third party products or services.

For some Trials, we'll require you to provide your payment details to start the Trial (which will be stored and processed in accordance with our Privacy Policy). By providing such details you agree that we may automatically begin charging you for the Paid Subscription on the first day following the end of the Trial on a monthly recurring basis or other interval that we will disclose to you in advance, unless you cancel beforehand (see section 3 above with more details on how to cancel). Each Trial provides access to the Paid Subscription advertised:

A. at the price advertised (if any); and

4.2 Trial availability.

Hype will determine your eligibility for a Trial acting reasonably, based on information available to Hype. A Trial must be accepted before the applicable offer expiration date advertised, if any. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Hype reserves the right to modify, suspend or terminate a Trial at any time and for any reason by notice to you and with no liability, in which case we will not honor subsequent enrollments for that Trial.

IF YOU SIGNED UP FOR THE TRIAL THROUGH HYPE, OR B) IF YOU RECEIVED YOUR TRIAL THROUGH A THIRD PARTY, YOU MUST CANCEL THE APPLICABLE PAID SUBSCRIPTION THROUGH THE THIRD PARTY.

If you have subscribed to a Paid Subscription that offers an initial trial period at no cost to you (a "Free Trial"): if you cancel a Free Trial during the Trial Period, you will lose access to the Paid Subscription service and your Hype account will switch to a Hype Free account immediately.
