SQL Down Under may terminate the right of any user to access the Site at any time, with or without cause, in SQL Down Under’s absolute discretion and without notice. The recital in this Agreement of specific grounds for termination of a user's right to access the Site shall in no manner whatsoever limit SQL Down Under’s absolute right to terminate any user's access to the Site under this paragraph.

Fees and Renewals

Monthly subscriptions automatically renew on or near the same day of each month unless disabled by the Subscriber. Annual subscriptions do not automatically renew unless enabled by the Subscriber. SQL Down Under may increase subscription fees for subsequent periods at any time and for any reason.

Disabling auto renewal will cause us to stop automatically charging your credit card at the end of each subscription term. You will still be able to use your subscription until the end of the current subscription term. Disabling auto renewal does not refund your money, as subscriptions are non-refundable.

SQL Down Under may terminate the subscription and these Terms if unable to renew the subscription based on inaccurate or out-dated credit card information.

Regional Subscription Restrictions

SQL Down Under may offer special reduced-rate regional subscriptions in some countries. SQL Down Under reserves the right to block access to a regional subscription if we detect that the IP address in use is not within that region. If you connect through a proxy server, this may impact the usability of your regional subscription. If this is the case you may purchase a worldwide subscription instead, which does not have the regional restriction.

These terms, and all other aspects of your use of the Site, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Australia and the State of Queensland, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. No action of any kind or nature arising out of these Terms, or out of any use of the Site shall be brought by you more than one year after the date on which the cause of action first arises. Judgement may be enforced by, and you agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of, the state and federal courts sitting at Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, and waive any jurisdictional, venue, or inconvenient forum objections to such courts.

If a provision of these Terms is invalid or unenforceable it is to be read down or severed to the extent necessary without affecting the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions.
