2. REGISTRATION, ELIGIBILITY FOR SERVICES, PAYMENT, AND INFORMATION SUBMISSION
Registration and Account: In order to utilize some or all of the Services, you may be required to register and create an account, and you may be asked to provide certain registration details or other information. It is a condition of your use of the Website that all the information you provide on the Website is correct, current, and complete. You agree that all information you provide to register with this Website or otherwise, including, but not limited to, through the use of any interactive features on the Website, is governed by our Privacy Policy, and you consent to all actions we take with respect to your information consistent with our Privacy Policy. You acknowledge that your account is personal to you, that you will use all reasonable efforts to keep your account information personal and confidential, Â and you agree not to provide any other person with access to the Services using your username and password. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized access to or use of your username or password or any other breach of security. You shall protect your password, username, and any other piece of information as part of our security procedures and you must treat such information as confidential. You take full responsibility for your own and third-party activities that occur under your account. If you create an account on behalf of an entity, these Terms bind both you and the entity, and you represent and warrant to us that you have full ability and authority to so bind that entity to these Terms, our Privacy Policy, and our Acceptable Use Policy. You also agree to ensure that you exit from your account at the end of each session. You should use particular caution when accessing your account from a public or shared computer so that others are not able to view or record your password or other personal information. We have the right to disable any username, password, or other identifier, whether chosen by you or provided by us, at any time in our sole discretion for any or no reason, including if, in our opinion, you have violated any provision of these Terms of Service.
Payment: Your access to the Services is conditioned upon your payment to Rayobyte of all applicable fees for your subscription. You agree to pay the applicable fees for the Service when due and to reimburse Rayobyte for all collection costs and interest at the maximum rate allowable by law. Unless otherwise stated, all fees are stated in U.S. dollars. Prices are subject to change.
Payment Extension: If you are unable to pay your bill by the due date and your account is eligible, we will offer you up to 10 additional calendar days to pay your bill. You must formally request an extension of your due date at least one business day before the end of your billing cycle. All extension requests must be submitted in writing to Rayobyte customer support. Our team reserves final decision-making on whether to approve or deny an extension request.
This extension does not prevent your payment from being considered late, and you will be charged a minimum late payment fee of either $20 per day or 1% of the total invoice amount, whichever is greater. If granted an extension, the customer’s subscription renewal date remains the same regardless of how late the payment is. We do not extend the subscription renewal date. Failure to request an extension or pay your bill within the extension period will result in automatic termination of your Services. Upon termination, all proxies will be returned to the general pool. Rayobyte cannot guarantee you will get them back.
Example: The customer has 100 dedicated proxies on the starter plan and pays $200 on their subscription renewal date, which falls on the first day of each month. The customer contacts support to request a five-day extension of their payment due date for the month of January. If the account is deemed eligible, the extension will be granted and a $100 ($20 per day * 5 days) late payment fee will be added to their invoice with a new due date of January 6. The following month’s payment will be due on the subscription renewal date, February 1.

By participating in any trial, you consent to Rayobyte commencing billing at the end of the trial period against any payment method(s) you may have on file with Rayobyte without prior notice or further consent from you. For more details, please review the specific terms of the trial offer. Rayobyte does not guarantee that any portion of the Services will always be available for free.

Please review the specific terms of your Subscription at point of purchase for more information. Subject to, and in accordance with, these Terms, and conditioned upon timely, proper, and continued payment of any applicable Subscription Fees, if any, Rayobyte hereby grants you a limited, revocable, exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Services comprising the Subscription, as allowed in your Subscription, solely for your own personal purposes, for such time as provided in the applicable Subscription (the “Subscription Term”). The license herein granted shall immediately terminate following the expiration of the Subscription Term or upon any failure to promptly and properly pay any applicable Subscription Fee, without further action from Rayobyte, or as otherwise provided in these Terms. This license belongs to the Subscriber(s) as specified in the terms of the applicable Subscription. Neither this license, nor the  Services, may be shared, sold, or otherwise transferred to anyone other than the Subscriber. No Subscriber may not substitute another Subscriber during the Subscription Term of any Subscription absent the express written prior consent of Rayobyte. The grant of the license(s) under these Terms are not, and shall not be construed as, a grant of any right to any Subscriber of any Rayobyte intellectual property rights in the Services.

In purchasing a Subscription, you agree to pay to Rayobyte the designated and/or recurring fee (a "Subscription Fee") as provided in the specific terms of your Subscription. Unless otherwise stated in any superseding, written agreement between you and Rayobyte, your Subscription will automatically renew on a yearly basis unless you provide Rayobyte written notice your intent to cancel your Subscription at least fifteen (15) days prior to the end of the current Subscription Term of a given Subscription. Notices of termination should be completed via your user dashboard or sent to contact

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Rayobyte may, but is in no way obligated to, review and grant refunds in its sole and absolute discretion and on a case-by-case basis. Rayobyte’s grant of grant of any refund to any Subscriber does not waive any rights of Rayobyte under these Terms, and any such refund to any Subscriber of a given Subscription shall not entitle that Subscriber to a refund for any other Subscription, nor shall it entitle any other Subscriber to a refund for a similar or any other Subscription.
Subscriber Information.  A Subscription requires that each Subscriber provide accurate and up-to-date contact, billing, and delivery information. Rayobyte is in no way responsible for any cessation or failure of the Services or a Subscription as a result of a Subscriber’s non-compliance with this informational requirement or any interruption or failure in the Services due to your failure to update your contact, billing, and/or delivery information.

If the arbitrators selected by the parties are unable or fail to agree upon the third arbitrator, the third arbitrator shall be selected by the American Arbitration Association.
Both parties agree that any dispute resolution proceedings (including any arbitrations and any court proceedings) will be conducted only on an individual basis and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, consolidated, or representative proceeding. Class actions and class arbitrations are prohibited. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, each party hereby waives any right to a jury trial. Both parties also agree that you or we may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.
