All fees are payable in U.S. Dollars unless otherwise stated. The User agrees to pay all applicable fees, taxes, shipping charges, and other amounts associated with their purchase. Payments are processed through independent third-party payment processors. By providing payment information, the User represents and warrants that they are authorized to use the selected payment method and authorizes Healthy Little Cooks, LLC and its applicable payment processor to charge the designated payment method for all authorized purchases, recurring subscription fees (if applicable), applicable taxes, shipping charges, and other amounts due under these Terms. Payment processing services are subject to the applicable payment processor’s terms and privacy policy.
2.2 Recurring Memberships and Automatic Billing: Unless otherwise stated at the time of enrollment, subscription-based Services, including the VIP Club and any future recurring membership offerings, automatically renew at the end of each billing period using the payment method on file.
