5.1. Your payment will only cover access to the relevant subscription model or booked Add-On Events. You are fully responsible for all charges relating to and equipment required for use of the DAZN Service. Telephone line and other communications or access costs may be charged to you separately by your ISP or relevant service provider. All our prices are inclusive of tax (VAT/ MwSt / CT or any similar tax in any other territory or jurisdiction) at the rates in force from time to time.
5.2. Payment for a Paid Subscription and/or an Add-on Event must be made by an accepted payment method in your country as identified during sign-up, for example credit card; debit card; PayPal or through another current, valid, accepted method of payment including supported third-party payment providers (“Payment Method”). The Payment Methods available will vary depending on the country in which you sign up to the DAZN Service. You confirm that any such Payment Method that you use is yours, or that you have the authorisation of the card or account holder to use it. All accounts and payments are subject to validation checks and authorisation by the Payment Method provider. If your payment is refused, then you will not be granted access to the DAZN Service until a validated Payment Method is provided by you and approved by us. In the event of a payment not being processed or being recalled without authorisation for reasons for which you are responsible, we may charge you the costs incurred as a result, e.g. for the bank return debit charge.
5.3. For some Payment Methods, the issuer of your Payment Method may charge you certain fees, such as a foreign transaction fee or other fees relating to the processing of your Payment Method. Local tax charges may vary depending on the Payment Method used. Check with your Payment Method service provider for details.
5.4. We reserve the right to refuse to accept payments if there is a valid reason, including if we have concrete grounds to suspect fraudulent and/or illegal activity.
5.5. Subject to Section 5.9 the fee for a Paid Subscription and/or Add-On Event will be as outlined when you sign-up or in other communications made available to you prior to your purchase. The fee for a Paid Subscription is billed on a monthly, annual or other basis, as chosen by you at sign-up to the DAZN Service, to your chosen Payment Method on the calendar day corresponding to the commencement of your Paid Subscription or as otherwise specified by the issuer of your Payment Method. If you are in default of payment of the monthly fees by more than a small amount, we may exercise our statutory rights to refuse performance and withdraw access to the DAZN Service for the duration of the default in payment and/or refuse the use of further services for that period. Further purchases will not be possible until the end of the payment default. Our right to terminate without notice for cause in accordance with Section 8.3 remains unaffected.
5.6. If you have signed up for a Paid Subscription with a minimum term of at least 3 months, in the event of a default in payment of either two consecutive months or of a total amount exceeding your applicable subscription price for two months, all outstanding payments up to the end of the minimum term will become due immediately, i.e. upon the occurrence of the default, and will be billed by us via your chosen Payment Method.
