Membership Plans
- Membership Plans, Term & Renewals. We may offer users the opportunity to enroll in a Membership plan (a “Membership Plan”). Membership Plans are typically offered with an annual, quarterly or monthly membership structure. Unless otherwise cited, the Fee(s) and service level will be honored during the term of the Membership Plan contracted. Plans are subject to new pricing based on historical usage and/or the latest prevailing Fees in place at the time of renewal or after expiration of the term. All Membership Plans default to auto-renew for the same term as the expiring Membership Plan unless otherwise cited and shall continue to auto-renew unless canceled. At the election of Smarter, Membership Plans may be prorated the first month so that subsequent invoicing and services coincide with a calendar month, starting on the 1st of the month and ending the last business day of the month
- Annual Membership Plans. An Annual Membership Plan is a year long contractual commitment, billed and payable monthly, quarterly or annually. The Annual Membership Plan is an annual commitment regardless of the billing or payment frequency. For example, an Annual Membership Plan that is billed and paid monthly is still a twelve month contractual commitment.
- Quarterly & Monthly Membership Plans. Quarterly Membership plans have a three month term while a Monthly Membership Plan has a one month plan. As with all Membership plans, they shall automatically renew for successive terms until canceled.
- If you purchase a Membership Plan, you will be charged the Membership fee, plus any applicable taxes, plus a set-up fee (if applicable) and other any other charges (“Membership Fee”) as applicable, at the beginning of your Membership Plan and monthly, quarterly or annually, increments thereafter, as specified when you purchase such Membership Plan. Membership Plans and Membership Fees are posted on our website and are subject to change without notice, however we will honor your signed Membership Plan for the term cited in your agreement up to a maximum of one calendar year from your first Annual Membership Plan start date.
- Membership Initiation. Membership Plans become active as soon as your initial payment is processed. If you select the “Annual Plan, Pay Annually” option, the entire applicable annual Membership Fee plus applicable taxes will be charged at the initial payment. If you select the “Annual Plan, Pay Monthly” option, the applicable first month’s Membership Fee plus set-up fee and applicable taxes will be charged at the initial payment, and thereafter the monthly Membership Fee plus applicable taxes will be charged each month for the duration of the applicable year for that annual Membership Plan.
Trial Memberships.
If you enroll in a free trial Membership, the free trial Membership will automatically convert into a paid Membership at the end of the trial period (which trial period will be indicated at the time of the enrollment in such trial period). Unless otherwise indicated, free trial Memberships will automatically convert into Smarter’s Annual Plan, Pay Monthly option. You may cancel the automatic conversion into a paid Membership online or by contacting Smarter support at support@thesmarterservice.com, at any time on or prior to, the last business day before the auto-conversion is scheduled to take effect on your Trial Membership end date.
Renewal
Your Membership Plan will renew automatically at the end of the applicable Membership period (i.e., at the end of the one-year period) until you turn off auto-renewal. Renewal rates are subject to change, but you will be notified of any change in your rate and be provided with the option to cancel in accordance with these Terms. Membership Plan auto-renewal may be disabled at any time (but must be done on or prior to the last business day before the auto-renewal is scheduled to take effect in order to avoid being charged for such renewed term), however the Membership Plan will remain active for the remainder of the contracted Membership Period period and you will be responsible for the applicable charges for the remaining months of the contracted Membership Plan term. If you elect not to renew, your right to use the Service under the Membership Plan will continue until the end of your then current Membership period and will then terminate without further charges.
Cancellation
You may cancel your Membership Plan at any time, but shall be obligated to pay for the Services of the original contract term if you have a Monthly Membership Plan or Quarterly Membership Plans. For Annual Membership plans, you may cancel at any time but shall be obligated to pay for at least 3 months of Membership Services. If you choose to cancel your Membership Plan for an Annual Membership plan early, you will receive a prorated refund of the Membership Fees for the remaining full calendar months remaining in the Annual Membership Plan term, less any setup, customized training or setup Fees, unpaid Services, Fees for late rescheduling or visit cancellations, unpaid products, services and fees of third parties that we facilitate on your behalf, or to collect unpaid amounts due and less any pricing discounts, promotions or savings that you have received for the annual Membership Plan Pricing. For example, if you have an annual Membership Plan that started January and ends December, an you notify us on June 15th of the same year, your cancellation will take effect starting August 1st, the next full calendar month and your prorated refund, if you paid the Annual Membership in advance, would be refunded for the five months of August through December. Your Smarter Service will cease on the day or next business day we receive your written cancellation request. You may cancel your Membership Plan by contacting Smarter support at support@thesmarterservice.com or by calling us 1-805-SOLVE-IT.
Deactivation
Payment failures will result in immediate deactivation of the applicable Membership Plan(s). Smarter Services will not be available to Users with a deactivated plan due to payment failure. Any outstanding payments will need to be made in order to re-activate the applicable Membership Plan and bring your account current.
Gift Cards
Smarter may offer gift cards for purchase (“Gift Cards”). Gift Cards are redeemable only as payment for Smarter Services such a Membership Plan. Gift Cards have no cash value and are not redeemable for cash unless otherwise required by law. Gift Cards must be presented (or the applicable identification number entered) at the time of payment and any available balance will be applied to your purchase. Gift Cards do not expire and there are no inactivity, dormancy or service fees associated with Gift Cards. You agree that you will comply with all Gift Card terms and conditions. Gift Cards are not replaceable if lost or stolen. Gift Cards cannot be used for previous purchases, credits, or the purchase of Gift Cards, and cannot be used to make a payment towards third party products or services, nor the balance on a credit card. We reserve the right to limit quantities of Gift Cards purchased by any person or entity and to cancel a Gift Card if we believe that the Gift Card was obtained through fraudulent or unauthorized means. No credit card, credit line, overdraft protection, or deposit account is associated with your Gift Card. Unused Gift Card balances are not transferable, and you may not sell a Gift Card or otherwise barter for its exchange although you may give a Gift Card to someone else as a gift. A Gift Card is void if copied, altered, transferred, purchased, sold or re-sold. Purchases of Gift Cards are final and not refundable. We reserve the right to correct the balance of a Gift Card if we believe that a billing error has occurred, and we disclaim all liability for any such billing errors. Gift Cards and their use are subject to these Terms contained here and use of a Gift Card constitutes acceptance thereof. Applicable terms and conditions are subject to change without notice. If the laws pertaining to a Gift Card require additional or different terms and conditions, then such terms and conditions shall apply. For questions or additional information, contact us at support@thesmarterservice.com. In the event you do not use your Gift Card for a certain period of time, we may be required to turn over the remaining Gift Card balance to a state under such state’s unclaimed or abandoned property law. Although your Gift Card does not expire, if we are obligated to turn over the remaining balance of your Gift Card under a state’s unclaimed property law, by operation of law we will be released from any further liability or obligation with respect to your Gift Card and you may be required to contact the state’s unclaimed property administrator to attempt to recover your unused Gift Card balance.

Promotional codes, discounts, and offers (“Promotions”) are limited in nature and may expire or be discontinued with or without notice. Promotions are void where prohibited by law. Promotions may not be copied, sold, or otherwise transferred. They are not redeemable for cash and are subject to cancellation or change at any time for any reason without notice. We reserve the right in our discretion to impose conditions on the offering of any Promotions. Other Promotions, including sweepstakes, contests, raffles, surveys, or games, may be governed by rules that are separate from or supplement these Terms. If you participate in any Promotions, please review the applicable rules. If the specific rules for a Promotion conflict with these Terms, the Promotion rules will govern.
Smarter may use third party services to process payments, such as, but not limited to Stripe, which have their own separate terms of service. While Smarter will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the security of all payment information such as credit cards or bank account numbers, Smarter expressly disclaims any liability for any damage that may result should any third parties gain access to such information, and you agree to hold Smarter harmless for any damages that may result therefrom.
You represent and warrant that you have the right to use any credit card or other means of payment that you provide to us that complies with our payment policies in effect at the time of payment. All billing information you provide to us must be current, complete, truthful, and accurate. You agree to promptly update your account and other information, including your email address and credit card numbers, and expiration dates, so that we can complete your transactions and contact you as needed. Providing any untruthful or inaccurate information is a breach of these Terms and may result in the cancellation of your order. Prior to accepting an order, we may also request additional information from you. Verification of information may be required prior to the acknowledgment or completion of any transaction. We reserve the right to refuse or cancel an order for any reason including limitations on availability, inaccuracies, or errors in service or pricing information, or problems identified by our credit and fraud avoidance department. If your order is canceled after your credit card (or other payment account) has been charged, we will issue a credit to your credit card (or other applicable payment account) in the amount of the charge. We may attempt to contact you if all or any portion of your order is canceled or if additional information is required to accept your order. Smarter may request a pre-authorization for some orders placed with a credit or debit card. This pre-authorization will not be billed to you; however, your card issuer may hold this amount for a period of time. Your card issuer determines the length of time the pre-authorization is held. We do this to ensure that the card details are still valid and that you have sufficient funds to complete the transaction. We are not responsible for any fees or charges that your bank or credit card issuer may apply.

All other claims shall be arbitrated.
The arbitration shall be administered by JAMS pursuant to its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures and held in Los Angeles County, California or another mutually agreed location. The arbitrator’s award shall be confidential, final, and binding, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

You hereby submit to the jurisdiction and venue of said courts and consent to service of process by email in any legal proceeding. Severability
