Payment information
Spotivity offers a Premium Program paid option for program providers. In the event a program wants to pay for Premium Membership they will be charged an annual fee (paid monthly) under the applicable terms and conditions. See here for pricing options.
If you choose to purchase any of our paid services or process payments for Premium Program Related transactions, you will need to pay using a payment card (e.g., credit or debit card). We use third party payment card processing companies to process payments in connection with the Sites and Services. These third parties have committed to Graphium Inc to process your payment card information in a secure, PCI compliant manner. Your payment card information is processed and retained by these third parties and will not be passed on to Graphium Inc; Graphium Inc does not store your payment card information.
If you are a premium program administrator, you also may use Spotivity to collect funds from other users. We may deduct a service fee from these fund transfers, but we will always spell out any applicable fees at the time of the transaction. In addition, we will not use payment information you have provided for fund transfers to charge you for other services. The fund transfers do not flow through Spotivity and are accomplished using Stripe Inc or another third party payment system, which is subject to separate terms with that third party (please review the section of this policy entitled “How We Share Your Information” below for more information).
