4.3 Late Payment.

4.4 No Deductions or Setoffs. All amounts payable under the Agreement shall be paid without any setoff.
4.5 Fee Increases. We may increase Fees at any time.
5. PAYMENT METHOD
5.1 Payment Method. Acorn uses Stripe to process your payment of Fees. The processing of payments is subject to Stripe’s terms and conditions found here: https://stripe.com/us/checkout/legal and their privacy policy found here: https://stripe.com/us/privacy. We are not responsible for any error by, or other acts or omissions of Stripe or any other payment processor we select in the future. You authorize us to charge you through the method of payment you selected when completing your Order. 5.2 Current Information Required. You must provide current, complete and accurate billing information and promptly notify us or our payment processor if your payment method is canceled (e.g., for loss or theft), or if you become aware of a potential breach of security, such as the unauthorized disclosure or use of your user name or password. 5.3 Auto-Renewal for Paid Services. Any Services you have signed up for will be automatically extended for successive renewal periods of the same duration as the subscription term originally selected, at the then-current non-promotional rate. To change or terminate your Services at any time, go to account settings. If you terminate the Service, you may use your subscription until the end of your then-current term, and your subscription will not be renewed after your then-current term expires. However, you will not be eligible for a prorated refund of any portion of the subscription fee paid for the then-current subscription period. IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO CONTINUE TO BE CHARGED ON A RECURRING MONTHLY BASIS, YOU MUST CANCEL THE APPLICABLE SERVICE THROUGH YOUR ACCOUNT SETTINGS OR TERMINATE YOUR ACORN ACCOUNT BEFORE THE END OF THE RECURRING TERM. SERVICES CANNOT BE TERMINATED BEFORE THE END OF THE PERIOD FOR WHICH YOU HAVE ALREADY PAID, AND EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THESE TERMS, ACORN WILL NOT REFUND ANY FEES THAT YOU HAVE ALREADY PAID. 5.4 Recurring Billing. Some of the Services may consist of an initial period, for which there is a one-time charge, followed by recurring period charges as agreed to by you. You will pay all recurring charges until your Subscription terminates. WE MAY SUBMIT PERIODIC CHARGES (E.G., MONTHLY) WITHOUT FURTHER AUTHORIZATION FROM YOU, UNTIL YOU PROVIDE PRIOR NOTICE (RECEIPT OF WHICH IS CONFIRMED BY US) THAT YOU HAVE TERMINATED THIS AUTHORIZATION OR WISH TO CHANGE YOUR PAYMENT METHOD. SUCH NOTICE WILL NOT AFFECT CHARGES SUBMITTED BEFORE WE REASONABLY COULD ACT. TO TERMINATE YOUR AUTHORIZATION OR CHANGE YOUR PAYMENT METHOD, GO TO ACCOUNT SETTINGS. 5.5 Reaffirmation of Authorization. Your non-termination or continued use of the Services reaffirms that we are authorized to charge your payment method for that Service. We may submit those charges for payment and you will pay such charges. This does not waive our right to seek payment directly from you. Your charges may be payable in advance, in arrears, per usage, or as otherwise described in an Order. 6. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS AND OWNERSHIP
