(2) If you wish you may return the defective Tangible to Vstroker at an address Vstroker will provide to you, but you must ship the Tangible back to us within 30 days of the date it was delivered to you. If you return a defective Tangible to us, Vstroker will test the Tangible and if Vstroker can confirm that it is defective, Vstroker will refund to your credit card the purchase price of that item and the Shipping Cost of that item. A Tangible will not be considered defective if your computer, operating system, hard drive or any other aspect of your system's setup does not meet the minimum requirements to use the Tangible as noted on Vstroker' web site and in the instruction pamphlet provided in your Tangible's packaging.

5.1.4. Time Limitation: Vstroker will not issue a refund for any Tangible (including unopened Tangibles) if the return is initiated more than 30 days after the date it was delivered to you under any circumstances.

5.2. Membership Billing:
5.2.1. Entry of Information: If you wish to use your Free Trial, you must enter your credit card information accurately in the space provided. After doing so you will be considered a Member.

If you purchase an automatically renewing subscription, you authorize the Company or the applicable third-party payment processor to charge the payment method on file on the first day of each billing period for the relevant subscription, and if the payment method on file becomes invalid due to an expired credit card or other similar reason and the Company (or applicable third-party payment processor) is unable to charge you on the next billing period, the Company may immediately revoke your access to any subscription service you have ordered until you update your payment method. If you fail to update your payment method within a reasonable amount of time, the Company may cancel your subscription.
5.2.2. Cancellation: You may elect to cancel your Membership at any time by using the method communicated to you by Vstroker or the Credit Card Processor who processes your transactions. If you cancel your Membership, your credit card will no longer be charged for further months of Membership, and you will continue to be a Member until the date when your credit card would have been charged again had you not cancelled your Membership.
5.3. PPV Video Billing:
5.3.1. Download: If you purchase a PPV Video, after your credit card transaction has been successfully completed, Vstroker will give you instructions detailing how to download your PPV Video.

5.4. General Terms Regarding Billing:
5.4.1. Processor Cascade: Vstroker may attempt to process your credit card transaction using more than one Credit Card Processor in case the first attempt to process the transaction is unsuccessful.

5.4.2. Customer Service: Customer service regarding billing issues shall be handled by the Credit Card Processor who processes your payments.
