The Services are owned and operated by WorthPoint Corporation and/or its subsidiaries (“WorthPoint” or “we” “our” or “us”). “You” and “Member” means the persons accessing our Websites and Services.

C. CHANGES TO THE TERMS OF USE

We reserve the sole right to amend the Terms of Use at any time by posting the amended terms on our Websites. Except as otherwise stated, all amended terms shall be automatically effective as of the date they are posted. Any time this Terms of Use is changed and updated, WorthPoint will notify you of the change in writing or electronically (including without limitation, by e-mail or by posting a notice on the website that the terms have been updated or similar words). Your use of the website after the date the amendments are posted constitutes your acknowledgment and agreement to any new or changed terms and conditions.

D. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

During the applicable term of your Membership and subject to compliance with the Terms of Use, Privacy Policy, and any other agreements governing your use of our website and/or services, WorthPoint grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferrable, and single member license to access and use the Content on the Websites, the Price Guide, Marks, and/or any related mobile applications, and the Services for personal research purposes only. Under no circumstances shall you use any Content (except Submitted Content provided by you) for any Commercial Use. “Commercial Use” means any use that yields a profit or monetizes in any way the use of the Content. Online or other republication of Content is prohibited. You may not remove, obscure or otherwise deface proprietary notices appearing on any Content, including copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property notices. Violation of this License may result in legal action in the form of an injunction, damages, or both. You also agree that you will not permit anyone else to log in with your username or email and password. If you are found to be in violation of this license, your service may be immediately terminated and all membership fees forfeited.  All rights in and to the Content not expressly granted in these Terms of Use are retained by WorthPoint. 

Whether in the free section or in the membership section of our Websites and Services, all Content included in or made available through our Websites and Services, such as text, graphics, logos, icons, images, audio or video clips, data compilations, and software is the property of WorthPoint or its third-party providers and protected by the United States and international copyright, trademark, and other laws as well as international treaty provisions, and may only be used in accordance with this limited use license.

E. FREE TRIAL

WorthPoint offers a free trial to all new Members who sign up through our direct website for Price Guide Premium subscription, All Access subscription, and Research It subscription. During the free trial for Price Guide Premium and All Access, you have access to the free trial for either seven (7) free lookups or for seven (7) days, whichever comes sooner after activating your free trial. During the free trial for Research It, Members will have access to the free trial for seven (7) days after activating your free trial. You can use all seven (7) lookups on one item, or multiple items (A “lookup” is defined as viewing a product detail page and accessing the price). For example, if you search for a comic book, you can use your lookups to view seven (7) detail pages with the price for  one comic book or look up seven (7) different comic books, viewing one detail page with the price for each. Accessing the price page is what constitutes a look up.  If you attempt to access an 8th detail page with the price or seven (7) days have passed, you will be prompted to activate a paid subscription. Upon activation, you will be charged for the subscription level you selected at your free trial sign-up. You may cancel your membership at any time during the free trial and prior to activating your account on the 8th lookup.  If you do not cancel your membership, billing will automatically begin on the 8th day or upon your 8th lookup. Your subscription will automatically renew each month until you cancel your membership.  

WorthPoint does NOT offer a free trial for the Price Guide Lite Membership – you will be charged immediately for your ten (10) monthly lookups (as defined above).

Only one (1) free trial is permitted per person. You may not create additional accounts (such as by the use of pseudonyms and/or alternate email accounts) for purposes of claiming additional free trials. WorthPoint reserves the right to terminate service to anyone who violates this policy.

F. BILLING

WorthPoint reserves the right to change the price of its membership or any component(s) thereof in any manner and at any time as we may determine in our sole and absolute discretion. Except as otherwise expressly provided for in these Terms of Use, any price changes or changes to the price of your membership plan will take effect following notice to you regarding the change.

G. TAXES

Each state or local jurisdiction determines whether or not a database membership sale is taxable.  WorthPoint will charge Members the appropriate sales tax as applicable. We may not initially collect sales tax, but reserve the right to begin doing so as required by changes in tax law and/or due to the company’s nexus, either physical or economic, changing. Members agree to pay all sales and use tax due now, prior or in the future.
