III SUBSCRIPTIONS AND PAYMENT

A. Free Initial Connection and Plans.
Each new user receives one (1) initial connection and conversation at no cost.

You may continue your first conversation for as long as you wish without payment, provided the chat remains active and is not ended or blocked by either party.

A paid subscription is required if you:
(a) block the connected user and end the chat at any time (including within the first three (3) days); or
(b) the connected user blocks you, resulting in the chat ending; or
(c) choose to end your first chat after the initial three (3) day period and wish to request a new connection.

Blocking or ending a chat by either user is considered a completed first connection. Once the first chat is ended or blocked by either party, a subscription is required in order to request or connect with another user.

The subscription options are:
$19.99 AUD per month (billed monthly); or
$199.99 AUD per year (billed annually).

C. Billing, Auto-Renewal and Cancellation.
By purchasing a subscription, you authorise recurring charges to your selected payment method until you cancel.

Subscriptions automatically renew unless cancelled at least twenty-four (24) hours before the end of the current billing period.
