2. Membership plan, price and benefits

The membership plan, billing cycle, price, currency, taxes, included benefits, whether to automatically renew, and any promotional conditions are subject to the content clearly displayed on this website and the Paddle checkout page before you check out. Currently, the website may provide 1-month, 6-month and 1-year plans; we may adjust the plans available for purchase based on service, pricing or supply conditions, but will not retroactively change your existing membership rights that have completed payment and are still valid, unless otherwise required by applicable laws.

Membership benefits include access to paid features and content listed on the checkout page or membership page. Functions, usage limits, usable content and membership status are subject to the current display on the website and system verification results; we do not guarantee that all functions, content, regional or language versions will be available at any time.

Membership only grants you a personal, limited, revocable, non-transferable and non-commercial right to use the Services and does not grant ownership or additional licenses to content, libraries, images, translations or other intellectual property.

3. Payment, taxes and Paddle

Payments, subscription creation, renewals, cancellations, billing, tax processing and partial refunds are provided by Paddle for transaction processing and customer portal support. When you complete a transaction or use the Paddle customer portal, you may also be bound by Paddle's Terms, Privacy Policy and Refund Policy.

The price, currency, tax amount, payment method, billing date and subscription settings shown on the checkout page are important information for your transaction. Paddle will process payment cards, bank accounts or other proof of payment in accordance with its processes; we do not store complete payment card information on this website. If payment is unauthorized, refused, reversed or chargeback occurs, we may suspend or revoke the corresponding membership rights to the extent reasonably necessary.

4. Membership period, renewal and price changes

Membership is valid within the purchased billing period from the effective time when payment is successful, the system is activated, or as otherwise shown on the checkout page. After the payment is successful, the membership status may take a short time to be synchronized; if the status is not updated, you can refresh the page, log in again, or contact us for assistance in checking.

If you choose or the checkout page shows automatic renewal, Paddle will charge you according to the period and amount shown on the checkout page until you cancel according to the process shown on the website or Paddle customer portal. Unless otherwise stated on the checkout page, applicable law, or Paddle's rules, cancellations generally take effect after the expiration of the current payment period, and you will still be able to use membership benefits until the end of that period.

If there are any major adjustments to renewal prices, plans or membership content in the future, we will provide the required notification or consent mechanisms in accordance with applicable laws and Paddle's transaction process. You can cancel your subscription before the next charge to avoid subsequent charges.

5. Cancellation, Refund and Legal Rights

You can cancel your subscription by following the process shown on the website account page or Paddle customer portal. Cancellation will not automatically result in a refund, credit, or prorated refund for periods of use or unuse, except as otherwise required by this Policy, Paddle’s applicable refund policy, or applicable law.

Refund applications should be submitted within the applicable period; once the refund is approved, the relevant membership benefits and paid content access rights may be terminated immediately or when the refund is effective.

This policy does not exclude or limit any consumer rights that may not be excluded or restricted by law. The eligibility, amount, method and processing time for refunds will be determined based on the transaction situation, Paddle's process and applicable laws.

Membership benefits are linked to the Inkseeker account you linked to when you completed your transaction. You should provide true, accurate and usable account and payment information, and keep your login credentials properly; you shall not sell, rent, transfer, lend, share or allow others to use your account or membership rights.

In order to maintain account security and login status, this website usually uses HttpOnly access tokens for up to 7 days, and HttpOnly refresh tokens for up to 180 days; language and account interface preferences are usually saved for up to 180 days. The refresh token can issue login credentials after the access token expires, and will be revoked when logging out, changing or resetting passwords, deleting accounts, expiration or security risks. The complete cookie and personal data processing rules are subject to Privacy Policy.

We may reasonably verify a member's identity, restrict abnormal use, require additional information, or suspend related benefits to prevent fraud, abuse, unauthorized access, payment risks or violation of terms. Except for emergency security, anti-fraud or legal needs, we will provide instructions or support channels when reasonably feasible.

7. Fair use and content restrictions

You should use membership services in accordance with Terms of Service and applicable laws. In particular, you may not use your membership to circumvent access, download, usage, payment, or region restrictions, or to automatically extract large amounts of content or create databases.

You may not use the content, images, text, translations, metadata, databases, classifications or search results of this website to train, fine-tune or evaluate artificial intelligence or machine learning models, build LLM, vector databases or RAG data sets, or provide substantially identical or competitive services without the prior written permission of us or the relevant rights holders.

If we reasonably believe that you violate this policy, the Terms of Service, applicable laws, the rights of others or service security, or that there are fraud, chargebacks, abuse, technical, authorization or legal risks, we may limit member functions, suspend or terminate accounts and member rights, or cancel uncompleted transactions to the extent reasonably necessary. Such measures do not affect your payment obligations incurred before the measures take effect, nor do they affect refunds or consumer rights that cannot be excluded by law.

Account deletion may prevent you from continuing to use membership benefits, collections, search history, collection content or other account information.
