Terms & Conditions

Last updated May 22, 2020

1. Introduction

Acceptance of Terms of Use

Trivium TAE LLC, doing business as Trivium China (“Trivium”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) offers paid access (a “Subscription”) to our Trivium Finance website https://finance.triviumchina.com (the “Site”) and the content contained therein (“Premium Content”). All references to “you” or “your” means each person who visits the Site and/or creates an account and registers for a Subscription (a “Subscriber”, and together with visitors, “Users”), as applicable. These Terms of Use govern your access to the Site and your Subscription, unless you have entered into a separate [Subscription Agreement] with us, in which case that [Subscription Agreement], and not these Terms of Use, governs your access to the Site and your Subscription.

Entities

If you use the Site or become a Subscriber on behalf of an entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that entity, your acceptance of the Terms will be deemed an acceptance by that entity, and “you” and “your” will refer to that entity. Subscriptions are available only to individuals who are at least 18 years old and can form legally binding contracts under applicable law. By registering for a Subscription, you represent and warrant that you are eligible.

2. Subscriptions

Registration

To receive a Subscription and obtain full access to the Premium Content, you will be asked to create an account by providing certain profile details, such as [your first and last name, a username, a password, and a valid payment method]. It is a condition of your Subscription that all the information you provide to us is current and complete. You acknowledge and agree that all information you provide to us, regardless of the method by which you provide it, is governed by our Privacy Policy. You consent to all actions we take with respect to your information consistent with our Privacy Policy.

Security

You must treat any username, password, or other security information as confidential, and you must not disclose it to any other person or entity. Your account is personal to you and you agree not to provide any other person with access to it using your username, password or other security information. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized access to or use of your username or password or any other breach of security. 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 Use.

Term

If you register for a Subscription, the term of your Subscription will be one year from the date of registration (the “Term”). If you have registered via credit card, your Subscription will automatically renew each year on the anniversary of your registration, at the pricing and under the terms then in effect, unless you or Trivium cancels it in accordance with these Terms of Use prior to renewal. If you have subscribed via manual payment, an invoice will automatically be issued to you requesting payment for renewal.

Subscription Fee

You will be charged a “Subscription Fee” for the initial Term of your Subscription on the date of registration. Thereafter, a Subscription Fee will be automatically charged on the anniversary of the registration date for each subsequent Term unless the Subscription has been cancelled prior to such date in accordance with these Terms of Use. Subscription Fees are charged in advance and as a general matter are non-refundable. We reserve the right to issue credits or refunds in our discretion. If we do issue a credit or refund, we are not obligated to issue the same or similar credits or refunds in the future. We may change the Subscription Fee from time to time in our discretion by providing you written notice and a reasonable opportunity to terminate your Subscription. Any such changes will go into effect beginning with the next Term of your Subscription.

Payment

By providing a payment method to us, you authorized Trivium to charge your Subscription Fees to such method as they become due. Trivium uses a third-party payment provider to process payments for Subscriptions. You understand and agree that the third-party processor is solely responsible for controlling, processing, or fulfilling charges made through its system. You will be subject to the terms of use and privacy policy of the third-party processor when making payments through that processor.

3. Suspension and Cancellation

Suspension

If we are unable to collect payment from you when due, whether because your payment method on file with us expires or otherwise becomes invalid or for any other reason, we have the right to immediately suspend your Subscription (including access to all Premium Content) until you provide an updated form of payment and make payment for all then outstanding Subscription Fees.

Cancellation by Trivium

In addition to Trivium’s right to suspend your Subscription described in Section 3.1, Trivium may terminate your Subscription at any time and for any reason in its discretion by providing written notice to you of the termination. Your Subscription and access to all Premium Content will be discontinued immediately and you will be entitled to a prorated refund for the current Term. You will not be charged a Subscription Fee for any subsequent Term following notice of termination.

Cancellation by You

You may cancel your Subscription at any time and for any reason by providing written notice to us. Your Subscription will no longer be automatically renewed and your access to Premium Content will continue through the remainder of the current Term. You will not be charged a Subscription Fee for any Term following your termination request; however, you will not be entitled to any refund of a Subscription Fee, prorated or otherwise, for the Term in which the cancellation was made or any prior Term.
