17. Payments, Renewal And Cancellation
Payment:
In connection with any and all Subscriptions that you select to purchase you must provide StreamNow.ng with a current, valid, accepted method of payment, which may change from time to time ("Payment Method"). All Subscription purchases are subject to this Agreement and any additional terms and conditions, including any fees, imposed by your financial services provider and/or mobile carrier, as applicable. You are solely responsible for reviewing the terms of use, privacy policy or any other terms governing your use of the services provided by your financial services provider and/or mobile carrier.
The Payment system(s) on StreamNow.ng are provided by a third-party payment service provider(s) with whom we have entered into agreement(s) with as such the guarantee, if any provided by StreamNow.ng is identical to that obtained by us from the payment service provider(s). The computerized records stored our computer/data systems and that of our payment service partners, within reasonable security conditions shall serve as proof of payment, communications, validation and orders that took place between you and StreamNow.ng unless you can provide conflicting written proof to the contrary
By providing a Payment Method in connection with any Subscription, you hereby authorize StreamNow.ng to debit the total cost of said Subscription and agree to be responsible for any foreign transaction charges associated with your Subscription purchase. Should charges for which you are responsible fail at the time payment is required, you may be responsible for costs associated with StreamNow.ng's efforts to collect amounts due in accordance with applicable laws. You represent and promise to us that all information you provide in connection with the purchase of a Subscription is true, accurate and complete. The duration and cost of Subscriptions are set by StreamNow.ng in its sole discretion. When you purchase a Subscription, you will initially be charged at the rate applicable at the time of your initial agreement to subscribe. If the price of the Subscription increases later, we will provide you with notice before the end of the billing period in which the change is made. Any increase in VAT (Value Added Tax) or other applicable tax will be automatically and immediately effected on the subscription cost starting from the next applicable subscription period. If you do not accept the change to your Subscription, you will be entitled to terminate this Agreement at least 72 (Seventy- Two) hours before your current subscription expires, should you fail to do so, you will be taken to have agreed to the new subscription cost.
Billing Cycle.
As indicated during sign-up, the Subscription fee must be paid in a single upfront payment. Once you indicate your interest to total Subscription fee due and payable to StreamNow.ng for a subscription circle, your payment method will be automatically billed at that time.
No Rights of Refund
You agree that the supply of StreamNow.ng Service starts at the time of validation of the subscription therefore you consequently lose any right to withdraw from the subscription once payment has been made. As such, no request for revocation or refund will be accepted after such validation.
Automatic Renewal:
If you have a paid subscription, your payment to StreamNow.ng will be automatically renewed at the end of the subscription period, unless you cancel your paid subscription through your subscription page before the end of the current subscription period. Renewal will be for the same duration of the original subscription term and will be billed at the non-discounted rate for the subscription, according to your original billing cycle method.
By enrolling in a Subscription, you agree that your Subscription will be subject to the above described automatic renewal unless you cancel your subscription in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or except you subscribe using a non-recurring payment method which would require you to manually renew your subscription. You also agree that the amount billed may be different if your original Subscription was purchased using a promotional/trial offer and you authorize StreamNow.ng to charge your payment method for such varying amounts as indicated at the time of sign-up or the full subscription charge; whichever is applicable. You agree that you are responsible for other charges, including any foreign transaction charges, that may be imposed by credit card providers, payment processors or other third parties in connection with your use of the subscription. Your subscription will remain in effect and continue to renew automatically until it is cancelled.
Cancellation:
If you decide to cancel your subscription, the cancellation will take effect the day after the last day of the current subscription period, if the request is made at least 72 (Seventy-Two) hours prior to expiry of your current subscription period and you will be downgraded to the Free Service or your use of the service suspended till you renew your subscription based on StreamNow.ng's sole discretion.
StreamNow.ng may change the price for the paid subscriptions from time to time and will communicate any price changes to you. Price changes for paid subscriptions will take effect at the start of the next subscription circle following the date of the price change. By continuing to use the StreamNow.ng Service after the price change takes effect, you accept the new price.
Refund Policy.
We will not refund any fees paid to us, including any advance charge(s) or payment(s) for any subscription term for the Services, unless otherwise required by law.
Charge Backs.
If you dispute subscription charges with your credit card company or financial institution, and StreamNow.ng's investigation determines the charges were valid, we may, on reasonable written notice to you, charge to your StreamNow.ng account the reasonable required cost of responding to your charge back request.

22. Choice of Law And Dispute Resolution
The validity, construction and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
You agree to use your best endeavour to amicably settle any dispute or difference of opinion arising from or in connection with this Agreement through mutual discussions. Where the Parties are unable to resolve any and all disputes through mutual discussions, the dispute or difference of opinion shall be referred to mediation conducted by our (yours and ours) legal representatives and/or financial auditors, where financial matters are involved.
If we are unable to arrive at a satisfactory decision at mediation, you agree that the dispute shall finally be referred to arbitration in accordance with the Arbitration and Conciliation Act Cap. A18, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria 2004, or any amendment thereto.
The place of arbitration shall be Lagos State, Nigeria and there shall be a sole arbitrator who shall be appointed jointly by the parties. Where the parties fail to jointly agree on the appointment, we shall approach the Lagos Multi-Door Court House to appoint a sole arbitrator who shall be competent to adjudicate on the issue in dispute. The language to be used in the arbitral proceedings shall be English.
The arbitrator, and not any court, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any Claim relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Arbitration Provision including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part of this Agreement is void or voidable. The arbitrator will decide any and all Claims—statutory, common law, or otherwise and the arbitral award shall be final and binding between the Parties.
The reference of any dispute to arbitration shall not prevent the Parties from seeking any form of protective reliefs/injunctions/specific performance from a court of law via motion or other originating processes for the protection of any res pending the constitution of the Arbitral Panel and/or final award.
Any and all proceedings to resolve Claims will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated, or representative action or proceeding. The arbitrator may award relief (including monetary, injunctive, and declaratory relief) only in favour of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief necessitated by that party's individual claims. Any relief awarded cannot affect other users of the Services.
Each party will be individually responsible for all costs and fees incurred in connection with any mediation or arbitration, including without limitation, all attorneys' fees, unless recoverable under applicable law. In the event that the arbitrator determines the claim(s) you assert in the arbitration to be frivolous, you agree to reimburse us for all fees and costs we incur.
23. Miscellaneous
Should any provision of this Agreement is found to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason or to any extent, by any court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not in any manner affect or render invalid or unenforceable the remaining provisions of the Agreement, and the application of that provision shall be enforced to the extent permitted by law unless such deletion materially frustrates the intent of the parties, in which case this Agreement will terminate.
This Agreement does not imbue an agency, partnership, joint venture, employee-employer or franchisor-franchisee relationship between you and StreamNow.ng or between StreamNow.ng and any other user of the Services. Nothing in this Agreement is not intended to, and does not, give any person who is not a party to it any right to enforce any of its provisions.

No waiver shall be effective against StreamNow.ng unless made in writing, and no such waiver shall be construed as a waiver in any other or subsequent instance.
