You authorize Yumget to charge the applicable fees to the payment card that you submit to Yumget, and agree that Yumget and any Yumget Affiliate may store your payment card information. You will pay all fees and taxes as they become due. Your obligation to pay fees continues through the end of the subscription period during which you cancel your subscription. If your payment card issuer or bank does not honor charges you have paid using your card, you will remain directly liable to Yumget for all unpaid amounts. If you fail to pay applicable fees, Yumget reserves the right to charge interest at the rate of 1.5% per month, or the maximum amount permitted by law (if lower).
