External Service Purchases, including subscriptions, may be processed through the External Service, in which case those purchases must be managed through your External Service Account. Subscriptions automatically renew until you cancel.

PurposelyDating.com may correct any billing errors or mistakes even if we have already requested or received payment. If you initiate a chargeback or otherwise reverse a payment made with your Payment Method, PurposelyDating.com may terminate your account immediately in its sole discretion, on the basis that you have determined that you do not want a PurposelyDating.com subscription. In the event that your chargeback or other payment reversal is overturned, please contact Customer Care.

This may result in a change to your payment billing dates.
In addition, you authorize us to obtain updated or replacement expiration dates and card numbers for your credit or debit card as provided by your credit or debit card issuer.
