Some of the services on the Sites may require you to pay a fee, such as subscription services on the Sites, as described in the specific conditions included where those services, if any, are offered. The Sites may offer one time fee-based services and subscription based services. Regardless of the type of service you purchase, you agree to pay all fees and charges that you incur. Unless otherwise noted, all currency references are in U.S. dollars. We may, upon notice if required by applicable laws, at any time change the amount of, or basis for determining, any fee or charge, or institute new fees or charges. All fees and charges are payable in accordance with payment terms in effect at the time the fee or the charge becomes payable.
If you have subscribed to a paid service on a Site, then by so subscribing you are entering into a legal and binding agreement between yourself, as an end user, and Vice to purchase that subscription.
