In the event your Personal Plus Account began on a day not existing in a given month or year, BD will bill your credit card on the last day of such month or year. For example, if your Personal Plus Account began on January 31st, February 28th is the next time your credit card would be billed. You acknowledge that the amount billed each month or year may vary if you purchase promotional offers, change your account, or the amount of applicable sales tax varies, and you authorize us to charge your credit card for such varying amounts. BD may also periodically authorize your credit card in anticipation of account or related charges to ensure your card's validity.

BD may change the fees and charges in effect, or add new fees and charges from time to time, but we will give you advance notice of these changes by e-mail and the option to cancel your subscription if you do not accept the new fees. If you want to change your credit card information, you may do so by accessing your "Account" page. If your credit card reaches its expiration date, your continued use of our paid services constitutes your authorization for us to continue billing you and you remain responsible for updating your credit card information. It is your responsibility to keep your contact and payment information current.

BD will automatically charge your credit card monthly or yearly, depending upon which Personal Plus Account you select. If any fee is not paid in a timely manner, or BD is unable to process your transaction using the credit card information provided, BD reserves the right to revoke access to your Personal Plus Account and User Content. If you do not bring your BD balance current within ten (10) days after BD notifies you that your account is in arrears, BD reserves the right to use our discretion to remove User Content associated with your Personal Plus account, and to convert your Personal Plus Account to a Personal Account.

Your Personal Plus Account will continue in effect unless and until you cancel it or we terminate it.
